Yan Xiaohan turned towards hionfly would ski”
“Hm?”
“You drank your medicine?”
“I did The bowl's there” Fu Shen pointed it out
“Lies and et you a ander at your reflection? Your lips are completely dry! You drank it? What did you use to drink it with, your ears? Eyes? Do I need to get you medicine to fix your head?!”
“……”
It's all over Being a crook isn't all fun and gaht red-handed
Yan Xiaohan took one look at his dumbstruck appearance and knew that this absolutely wasn't the first tiitated circle around the roo over a porcelain spittoon at the side of the bed Lowering his head, he now had caught both the thief and his plunder
Fu Shen sat on the bed co of asentenced to death
Yan Xiaohan pointed at hio out and order people to decoct another bowl ofthe door, his face was dark “Tell ave a nuet mad My windchill's fine now, it doesn't matter that much whether I take it or not…”
“‘Doesn't matter'?” Yan Xiaohan coldly shot back “Who told you that you didn't need to take it? Shen Yi'ce, orvery hard to exercise patience and not have a falling out with him, all of his consideration for his health visible on the surface, yet Yan Xiaohan was unable to cal the other's shortco on your youth to waste your health away – are you not thinking about what you'll do after you get older? How many wounds do you have that you don't even keep track of? If you don't treat the windchill properly, you ht fall to another rooted sickness, and then you'll learn your lesson too late!”
Fu Shen's head hurt fro One aspect of his personality is that of a headstrong dictator, and no one has dared scold hiinally he as in the wrong, but what Yan Xiaohan is saying has instead incited his contrarianis on and on You don't need to be so anxious, I certainly won't have you keep watch at the threshold like a ed fiancé– sst!” [3]
Yan Xiaohan's hand was like lightning, cla down on his chin “Don't talk like that!” he bellowed
He was truly enraged, the enor Fu Shen feel like his jaas about to be crushed It was because of this, though, that he finally saw the flits of fear and pain in Yan Xiaohan's eyes
His heart unexpectedly softened up
Fu Shen is one who cannot be forced, but can be persuaded It is particularly easier to break through his core's defenses when a consistently tenacious person occasionally displays a thread of weakness
Besides, he was the one at fault
He raised a hand to grasp Yan Xiaohan's right one that wasway “Okay, okay, I'ht?”
Yan Xiaohan's hand laxed, yet Fu Shen did not let go, continuing to weakly grip itin the palm of his oith a senseless kind of inseperable tenderness
He lowered his eyes, the fire in his heart being h “You infuriate ized, repeatedly assuring that it was ment on his part, and in the future he definitely will not be acting before he thinks At the end of it all, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head “What's happened today? All you've done is gotten real mad”
Yan Xiaohan is still stern-faced, yet there's tiny upward arcs at the corners of his eyes “The devil walks within the world,” he assessed crisply
Having a careful think about it, ever since returning to the capital, the situation has taken a turn for the worst The ambush and assassination, the plots and conspiracies, the Ee sanction… which one of those does notand turning restlessly at night? Why is it that there's sorownand thenin their free ti Yan Xiaohan appear to be adown from all directions to the outside world Back underneath the same room, they turn out to be ordinary people just like anyone else, able to feel every emotion there is
All because this is ‘hoo to bed until I cranked this chapter out I've been up 20 hours so far but I don't care
[1] Ancient China went off lunar months as opposed to solar months, and they don't have special names for months It's literally just ‘month 2' and such For brevity/consistency's sake, I'll be using Gregorian terms, but I would like to point out that lunar years have less days in their months, thus the date for the Flower Festival on a solar calendar would actually be the 15th
