Jiang Qingci came to see Ren Shuhan three times a day, morning, noon, and night, showing his face and emphasizing every time: Although I’m very afraid of you, I’ve done my best to serve you. You must remember to repay me in the future!

But in reality, he didn’t help Ren Shuhan at all, just made him annoyed…

On the day Lu Bing came, Jiang Qingci came once again, eavesdropped on Lu Bing and Ren Shuhan’s conversation, feeling both puzzled and uncomfortable:

What’s going on?

In the previous life, Lu Yan woke up to the truth. In this life, I treat him like this, and he’s still thinking about that scumbag Jiang Qingyue?

Oh, he must be acting with Lu Bing!

Later, when Lu Bing saw Jiang Qingci, he didn’t act like a lecherous ghost as he did in the previous life, staring at him without letting go, making Jiang Qingci even more uncomfortable.

What’s wrong with these men? Are they blind?

Later, Jiang Qingci entered the room and casually said to Ren Shuhan, “Lu Bing just glanced at me. Does he have something on his mind?”

In the previous life, Lu Yan’s response was: “He looked at you because you’re good-looking.”

And Lu Yan was jealous.

But now Ren Shuhan responded, “You can’t stand being looked at by him? He was looking at me the whole time just now. Did I say anything to you?”

Jiang Qingci: …

Ren Shuhan: “If you’re uncomfortable being looked at, it’s better to empathize with others. Don’t come to see me in the future.”

Jiang Qingci: …

Ren Shuhan was really uncomfortable lying down, being visited by these two back and forth, unable to get up and find his wife. It was quite frustrating. But after this exchange, Jiang Qingci felt even more frustrated than him and left in a huff.

He decided not to come to see Ren Shuhan tonight, nor tomorrow morning.

Men are all jerks. If you’re nice to them, they’ll take advantage of you. If you ignore them, they’ll start to worry.

Then, the next day at noon, Jiang Qingci reluctantly came to Ren Shuhan’s bedroom, only to find… he was gone!

Last night, Ren Shuhan waited until Wen Xin came, instructed her to hide some people, and said he needed to disappear for a while. He also asked for some silver, and Wen Xin didn’t ask much and agreed.

The other subordinates speculated privately, suspecting that the lord still had other hidden guards, keeping it a secret from both sides. It was really skillful management…

Ren Shuhan: I don’t have any!

Then he had the system change his appearance, took advantage of the dark night, and went out alone to find several… taverns.

That’s right, he hadn’t eaten well for two days.

Although he could cook a little, most of it was simple Western food, and he had only used a modern kitchen. Plus, Jiang Qingci’s cooking was even worse, and he always tried to feed him during meal times, which made him struggle until past mealtime, feeling mentally exhausted and hungry enough for his stomach to ache.

Fortunately, the food in this world was different from the previous world, with a special, rustic flavor.

Thanks to Lu Bing’s nightly ban, he tried several recommended delicacies from the system in a row, and even ordered two good late-night takeouts, having the shopkeeper stew them slowly and then sending them to the young master’s mansion in the Jiang family. Then, he slipped out of the city walls and found a villa on the outskirts of the city that Lu Yan had used to visit. Just like when he left the mansion, he ignored all the layers of guards and easily went in to take a good bath and soak in the hot spring.

Crossing over to this present, Ren Shuhan felt good about taking a bath for the first time.

A regent really knows how to enjoy himself. He should bring his wife here to play in the future~

After finding some decent clothes in the vacation villa over here, Ren Shuhan dressed up handsomely. He guessed that the late-night takeout to the Jiang Mansion had also been delivered, so Ren Shuhan quietly went to Jiang Mansion.

Climbing the wall to find his wife!

The mansion was magnificent, obviously set up for the antagonist, and Jiang Qingyue was really favored, still living alone in a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. Ren Shuhan found his bedroom as soon as he entered the mansion, but there were no lights on in the room.

Just then, a servant carrying a meal box came over, and Ren Shuhan hid behind a pillar, seeing the guard at the door shake his head at him.

Is he sleeping so early?

Oh, people in ancient times rested early, and it was actually quite late now. Ren Shuhan felt a bit regretful.

The servant said a few words to the guard, then put the meal box at the door. Ren Shuhan took advantage of the guard’s patrol change and went to the meal box, took out the late-night snack he had ordered, closed the lid, and quietly pushed the door into the room.

The room was quiet, with only a hint of the sweetness of the late-night snack and the even breathing on the bed.

Ren Shuhan approached and sat on the edge of the bed, examining the sleeping figure of the homeowner.

Jiang Qingyue was lying on his side, his long hair scattered on the pillow, his hands clasped under his cheek, pressing his cheek slightly, making his rosy lips look a bit pouty, which was very cute. What was even cuter was that a corner of an envelope was peeking out from under the pillow.

It was probably the letter he had given him yesterday, written hastily and scribbled a few words, but he cherished it as if it were a treasure, even using it as a pillow while sleeping.

“Why are you so silly?”

Ren Shuhan was afraid of waking him up, so he had the system block his senses and gently touched his soft face, pushing his hair behind his ears and stealing a kiss on his lips.

Then Ren Shuhan ate the supper for two himself, and slept comfortably on the nearby couch.

The next morning, Ren Shuhan got up early, tidied up the bed, changed his clothes, washed up, and kissed his still obedient wife again before slipping out. He roamed around on the rooftop for a while, and when he came back, he couldn’t help but kiss his peacefully sleeping wife again.

“Hmm?”

Jiang Qingyue suddenly woke up.

Ren Shuhan was afraid of scaring him, so he quickly hid behind the bed and peeked through the canopy, watching Jiang Qingyue rub his eyes, pull up the blanket, and turn over, sleeping for another two minutes before reaching for the clothes on the small table beside him. He didn’t put them on but continued to lie there, pulling out the envelope from under the pillow and reading the letter again in the morning light.

Feeling a bit embarrassed… Ren Shuhan covered his face.

The letter was nothing but some straightforward love words like “I miss you every day as if we’ve separated for three autumns1A poetic way to say three years, though in thise case, Ren Shuhan doesn’t really mean that 3 years have passed“. Was it really that good-looking?

Then someone knocked on the door from outside, saying, “Young Master, the Eldest Young Master is coming back today.”

Jiang Qingyue got up, dressed himself, and slowly put the envelope back under the pillow, calling for someone to help him choose clothes.

Ren Shuhan couldn’t help but smile.

Soon a maid came in, picked and chose from Jiang Qingyue’s wardrobe, and finally picked a purple outfit with a white jade belt, which looked very good on him.

“Thank you.”

Jiang Qingyue looked at himself in the mirror, also very satisfied, thinking that he would be very happy to see Ren Shuhan today, even if he was accompanying his brother back home. He rewarded the maid with a piece of jade.

“Young Master looks good in anything,” the maid took the reward with a smile, “there’s no need for us to choose clothes for you.”

Jiang Qingyue just smiled and left.

With no one in the room, Ren Shuhan sat at the table, casually flipping through Jiang Qingyue’s paintings and calligraphy, thinking they were all pretty good. He couldn’t help but sit back on Jiang Qingyue’s bed like a shameless philanderer, breathing in the sweet scent of the pillow, feeling that it was sweet.

Without ABO settings, his baby was still so sweet.

Separated for just two days, and he was already starting to feel heartache.

But he had to wait. With Lu Bing’s people everywhere, he couldn’t leave yet, otherwise, it would involve the Jiang family.

By noon, Ren Shuhan had become so bored that he had read the entire original work, and he had a simple and crude plan for the future. Jiang Qingyue returned alone.

He pushed the door open, only to see a tall man in a black dragon-patterned silk round-collared robe standing with his back to the door, a short sword tied around his slim waist, his broad shoulders, and his hands behind his back. When he heard the sound, he turned around.

Jiang Qingyue was instantly stunned.

“Shh,” Ren Shuhan’s eyes were smiling, he walked up to him, raised his arm, passed it under his armpit as if to hug him, and whispered, “Don’t make a sound.”

But Ren Shuhan just closed the door.

Jiang Qingyue took the initiative and hugged him tightly, burying his head in his chest without moving.

“What’s wrong? Miss me so much?”

Ren Shuhan rubbed his back forcefully and lowered his head to kiss his hair.

Jiang Qingyue shook his head in his arms.

“Didn’t miss me? Then shall I leave?”

Jiang Qingyue shook his head again.

This spoiled little young master, how come he’s even more clingy than in the previous world? Ren Shuhan chuckled… I like it!

“I thought you wouldn’t come,” Jiang Qingyue said after a while, “Qingci said you were missing, and you didn’t even accompany him back home.”

“I’m busy with my own affairs,” Ren Shuhan said, using his palm to brush aside Jiang Qingyue’s long hair that was half scattered on his shoulder, pinching his scalp gently. “I have someone I like to accompany, and I don’t have time to accompany others.”

Jiang Qingyue trembled all over when he was pinched by Ren Shuhan, but he didn’t change his posture and still hugged him tightly.

“But he brought your letter,” Jiang Qingyue said gloomily, “I thought you were busy and wouldn’t be able to see you for a while.”

“The letter was written before. I was afraid he wouldn’t give it to you, so I wrote another one and asked Wen Xin to deliver it,” Ren Shuhan said, stroking his hair. Being completely relied on by him, he couldn’t help but have some improper thoughts, feeling like his whole person was floating.

Thinking of the letter, Jiang Qingyue chuckled softly.

He had eagerly opened the letter that had been delivered today on his way back, probably afraid of being seen by Jiang Qingci. Ren Shuhan had written it in English, which was more straightforward, and even added two lines of poetry.

Ren Shuhan’s earliest memories were from the first world, when he was an actor, so English was actually his native language. Writing in English was smoother for him than using a brush, but he should have been better at using a brush…

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue’s eyes suddenly reddened.

“I’m sorry…”

His voice was choked up.

“What’s wrong?” Ren Shuhan wanted to look at him, but he couldn’t move because he was being hugged tightly. He couldn’t break free, so he asked anxiously, “Baby? What’s wrong? Don’t you have a system? You should know that you weren’t the one who killed Jiang Qingci in your past life, right?”

He could only think that his Qingyue was crying because he felt wronged.

What else could it be?

Am I making you feel so miserable by missing me? Ren Shuhan thought, it’s my fault for not coming earlier.

“I know, I know everything,” Jiang Qingyue nodded, wiping away his tears on Ren Shuhan’s chest and sobbing, “The one who doesn’t know is you.”

“I’m sorry,” he repeated, looking up at Ren Shuhan as if looking at an old friend through his eyes, “I just, I just never expected, not even in two lifetimes combined, that you would really fall in love with me.”

Dang I thought the chapter was pretty funny at first then towards the end Jiang Qingyue got emotional :’((( my poor baby!
