Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

Although there were some minor incidents, Jiang Xin's first day of school went relatively smoothly.

The teacher probably knew about his special situation and did not deliberately make things difficult for him by asking him to stand up and introduce himself. In a school like theirs, it was normal to occasionally add a few transfer students.

As the prince's companion, Jiang Xin was already qualified to enroll in school.

The teacher of this term is also a law-abiding person, and does not want to provoke the madman King Xian for no reason.

The morning passed quickly, and Nan Yuanbai and Yao Jingtong were finally released from standing in punishment.

The two mortal enemies glared at each other and eventually parted unhappily.

Yao Jingtong, on the other hand, went to see Jiang Xin again before leaving school and said awkwardly, "Don't think too much. I really admire you and want to be friends with you. I don't mean to ask you to help me match up with the virtuous king."

"…" Even if you want me to help, I can't. Jiang Xinmu thought blankly, I heard that even His Majesty couldn't decide His Highness's marriage, and he was only a companion for one day, how could he dare not bring up this matter?

Moreover, a prince and a young master from a marquisate, he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to think of matchmaking...

Yao Jingtong could not hear Jiang Xin's complaints, and only smiled and said, "I just think you are quite amazing. His Highness is a very tolerant person. You must be extraordinary to be valued by him."

Jiang Xin: "..." To be honest, he didn't know why His Highness was so nice to him?

Although His Highness said that it was because he had a past with Grandpa, but since he grew up, there has been no news from Grandpa. It can be seen that even if Grandpa still remembers him, he will not take it too seriously. But His Highness treats him so well...

Jiang Xin pursed his lips, a moment of confusion flashed across his eyes, and then he calmed himself down.

No matter what the reason is, since His Highness treats him like this, he will certainly repay His Highness with utmost loyalty. As long as the prince can use him, he will do his best and will never refuse!

However, it seemed that there was nothing he could do to help the prince.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin lowered his head again in frustration.

"On the fifth day of next month, my father plans to hold a small poetry banquet at home. If you are free, you can come and have a gathering." Yao Jingtong was frank. He took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xin. Then he blinked and said with a smile: "If Your Highness can also visit, my father and I will also welcome it."

Jiang Xin: "..." You said you have no other ideas. You haven't given up yet, right? You must be right?

Seeing that Jiang Xin didn't answer, Yao Jingtong wanted to say something else, but he looked at a figure coming from afar. His face suddenly changed, and he quickly stuffed the note into Jiang Xin's hand and ran away as if he had encountered a flood or a beast: "Then it's settled. I'm leaving first. See you later!"

Jiang Xin: “…”

Just as I was wondering, a familiar voice came from behind me: "Who is he?"

Jiang Xin looked up and saw Xie Ze coming over. He immediately curved his eyes, then handed the invitation in his hand to Xie Ze and said obediently: [It’s Master Yao Jingtong from the Marquis’ Mansion. He invited me to attend the Yao family’s poetry banquet next month.]

Xie Ze frowned and glanced at it, then returned the post to Jiang Xin and said calmly: "Go if you want to, I'll accompany you then."

In his previous life, he was able to leave the capital smoothly and return with his army, thanks to the Yao family. After he ascended the throne, the Yao family also assisted him wholeheartedly and were considered useful people.

"..." Jiang Xin glanced at Xie Ze cautiously and pursed his lips.

Perhaps it was because of Nan Yuanbai’s previous words that he took them to heart.

Although His Highness had indeed rejected Yao Jingtong's pursuit before, His Highness's personality was unpredictable. He wanted to accompany me to the banquet at Yao's house. Could he have other intentions?

The little study partner was unsure, and the words he originally wanted to refuse the Yao family were blocked in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Xie Ze felt strange looking at him and asked in confusion.

[No, nothing.] Jiang Xin quickly shook his head and suppressed the gossip flying around in his mind.

Why think so much? As a companion, he can just accompany His Highness in whatever he wants to do.

Although he had never been to any banquets since he was a child due to his muteness and his father's orders, now that he has become the prince's companion, he will always have to attend such occasions in the future.

After figuring this out, Jiang Xin breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xie Ze a brilliant smile: [Then I will attend the banquet with Your Highness. ]

"...Yeah." Xie Ze looked at Jiang Xin who had a happy face and suppressed the subtle dissatisfaction in his heart.

If he were to live his life over again, he hoped that his Ah Xin could get all the happiness he wanted, that his Ah Xin would have good friends, a noble status, a reputation praised by everyone, and that his life would be completely different from his previous life.

This is what he originally thought and did.

However, seeing Ah Xin, who once only had him in his heart and eyes, start to make new friends in places where he can't see, and smile so happily because he can attend the Yao family's banquet, Xie Ze couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Is that Yao Jingtong so good? They just met for the first time today, and Ah Xin, who never liked to go out for social events, actually accepted the invitation. What kind of magic potion did that guy feed Ah Xin? !

Xie Ze, who has lived two lifetimes, had long forgotten that when he was young, there was a young man in the Yao family who was full of love and pursued him passionately.

After enduring it again and again, Xie Ze took Jiang Xin for a walk, but still couldn't help but ask out of the blue: "Do you get along well with that Yao Jingtong?"

Jiang Xin was surprised that Xie Ze actually asked about Yao Jingtong, so he had to confess honestly: [We didn't say a few words, but Master Yao was straightforward and treated me in a friendly way.]

Since His Highness took the initiative to mention Yao Jingtong, he has always had some differences with this Master Yao. Jiang Xin thought to himself without making a sound.

Xie Ze: “…” We’re already chatting so well after just a few words, and you even praised me for being straightforward. You’ve never praised me like this!

Xie Ze's face turned even uglier, and after a long while he said unhappily: "Don't just look at the surface of things. You can't know a person's heart by his appearance. Don't trust others easily."

Jiang Xin was stunned when he heard this, then nodded obediently: [I understand.]

In the case of Lu Wuliang, it was ultimately because he failed to judge people well and mistook the villain for his friend, which gave others the opportunity to take advantage of him.

Now that he has become the prince's companion, the prince is extremely capable and there are even more villains around him, so he has to act with even more caution.

"..." Xie Ze saw that Jiang Xin was depressed again because of what he said, and he felt even more upset. He couldn't bear to see him like this. After a long while, he said sullenly: "But the Yao family is upright, so it's okay for you to contact them."

Jiang Xin continued to nod: [Yes, I will listen to your Highness.]

Your Highness cares about the Yao family. He will have more contact with Young Master Yao in the future, hoping to be able to help Your Highness!

Xie Ze: “…”
