After rebirth, the leader only wants to be with the shadow guard

A loved one?

This word doesn't fit Lou Jingyu at all.

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that Lou Jingyu, the leader of the Chiyang Sect, is the most cold-blooded and heartless person. He created his own internal skills and was able to stand out from the crowd. He has always been arrogant and has hardly even glanced at the men and women who have come to him over the years.

As time went by, there were rumors that Lou Jingyu practiced the Way of Mercilessness...

If he hadn't spent a month with Ying Shiyi in his previous life, allowing him to see his burning sincerity, he would have been cold and distant even if he lived several more lives.

Fate is wonderful beyond words.

Uncle Jiang has watched Lou Jingyu grow up since he was a child. He knows that he has always been a very opinionated person. He is decisive and never compromises. He has high standards. Let alone love, it seems that he has no desires at all. He has never seen him favor anyone.

Our leader already has such a status that he has everything he wants, but it is not easy to meet someone he likes.

If he likes her, it doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman, or what her status is. As servants, they should correct their status and put the master's preferences first.

"I was talking nonsense. Since the leader is pleased, his status is naturally different from before. How should we servants address him?"

Ying Shiyi was a man after all. If it was a woman, it would be fine to call her Madam, but since he was a man, he was in a dilemma.

"No need, just do it the same as before. In the past, I always called Shadow Guard "Sir", and it will be the same in the future. If I change the name, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable."

Lou Jingyu's expression relaxed a little, he thought for a moment and said.

It’s not too late to change your name after you get married.

Uncle Jiang nodded in agreement, thinking that the leader really cared about him and was so considerate of even such trivial matters.

"Please give the servants some advice. From now on, when you see Ying Eleven, you should treat me as the one who saw you..."

Lou Jingyu gave a few more instructions, which Uncle Jiang wrote down one by one, then he and Jiang Yan left together.

Jiang Yan hadn't come back to his senses after leaving the study. It took him a long time to say, "It turns out that the master doesn't value talent, he has taken a fancy to Ying Shiyi!"

"But when did this happen? Why did the master suddenly..."

Jiang Yan had a question mark on his forehead.

"My master was not interested in women before, and I didn't see him liking boys, so why did he fall in love with Ying Shiyi?"

Isn't Ying Shiyi just a little better in martial arts, a little younger, a little whiter in skin, a little more beautiful, a little thinner in waist and a little longer in legs...

There are no other advantages.

In Jiang Yan's opinion, the gap between the master and the shadow guard was too big. He was really afraid that if the master didn't like Ying Shiyi one day, Ying Shiyi would be doomed.

Thinking of this, I felt very sorry.

"Commander Jiang, please be careful with your words." Uncle Jiang stopped him from talking. "The leader's private affairs are not something you and I can discuss or delve into. You just need to follow the master's orders."

"Thank you for your advice, Manager." Jiang Yan also realized that he had said too much. He bowed and thanked him, then glanced in the direction of the main hall.

I heard that Ying Shiyi was carried into Canglan Palace by the master this morning. No matter what, the master now cares about him, so I should hurry and do the task assigned by the master.

----

When Lou Jingyu returned to Canglan Palace, Ying Shiyi had not yet woken up.

"Master, Lord Eleven's things have been moved in." Mingyue was holding a small box in her hands, and the two servants behind her were carrying a larger box.

Before Lou Jingyu went to the study, he asked Mingyue to take people to pack. Since he was going to live in Canglan Palace after 11 days, his luggage naturally had to be packed.

Bedding, toiletries and other items were all available in Canglan Palace, so they only moved Ying Shiyi's clothes and personal belongings.

Even so, there were very few things. Ying Shiyi lived a simple life and had almost no extra things.

Lou Jingyu rummaged through the clothes and found only a few sets of black suits and pajamas that the shadow guards often wore, as well as three or four cotton coats. They were all simple styles and the fabrics felt ordinary.

Lou Jingyu put all the clothes aside and planned to ask a tailor to make some new clothes for Eleven.

In addition to this, there are several volumes of books recording sword techniques.

Lou Jingyu placed the book in the cabinet in the inner room for Ying Shiyi to read. He thought that if Ying Shiyi liked these books, he had quite a few such books in his own study room. He could give them all to Ying Shiyi when the time came, and he would surely be happy.

Thinking of this, he felt very happy. After taking out several swords that Ying Eleven often used, the big box was empty.

Eleven's belongings were really few. Lou Jingyu was surprised and distressed, and asked Mingyue to bring the small box over.

"Master..." Mingyue hesitated. The things in this small box were a little special, which clearly showed Ying Shiyi's feelings for the master. Mingyue was afraid that Lou Jingyu would be furious.

I still remember that there was a maid who had a crush on her master when she was working in Canglan Palace. Once when she was serving tea, she deliberately fell down. As a result, she was thrown out by her master before she even touched the corner of her master's clothes. The maid was punished by her master with 30 strokes of the cane and expelled from the Chiyang Sect. Even she, the head maid, was punished for dereliction of duty.

The master has always disliked others having inappropriate thoughts about him.

But when that person turned out to be Ying Shiyi, she became unsure again.

The master has been very special to Master Ying Shiyi these days...

Thinking of this, he opened the small box under Lou Jingyu's gaze and placed it on the table next to Lou Jingyu.

What caught his eye was a small bag. Lou Jingyu took it out and weighed it. It was quite heavy. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of silver. It was probably the monthly salary that Eleven had saved for so many years.

This silly child only knows how to save money but not how to spend it, and he also doesn’t know how to be nice to himself.

As soon as the bundle was taken out, a thick stack of paper was seen at the bottom of the box. Lou Jingyu curled the corners of his mouth and took out Eleven's calligraphy to admire it. Unexpectedly, his expression changed as soon as he saw it.

This is clearly Eleven's notes——

"It's the seventh day of the first lunar month. The mission is completed. I'm back to report. It's snowing heavily and it's very cold. The master is standing under the eaves admiring the snow. He looks very handsome. At the beginning of the new year, I wish the master good health..."

"In late March, I was practicing martial arts in the back mountains and happened to see my master walking here..."

"April 16. I was injured during a mission. I was afraid that my blood would offend my master, so I couldn't go to report. I don't know when I will see my master again..."

"On the third day of June, I returned from the south and was able to report to my master in person. I haven't seen him for over a month, and he is still as graceful as ever..."

"August 29th..."

"October……"

"November……"

"The first month of the year..."

Time passed like this, one year after another, and the time on each page of the notes was not consistent. Sometimes it was written every other month, and sometimes only once every three to five months. Lou Jingyu read through them one by one until he saw the most recent date.

After I was reborn that day, I went to Houhu to find Eleven, and Eleven wrote a note.

On the day when he asked Eleven to have dinner with him, Eleven also wrote some notes.

Every time, Ying Shiyi would write a note after meeting Lou Jingyu. Lou Jingyu was the protagonist in his note...

It turns out that what Eleven was writing so seriously at home that day was this.

From each of the notes, Lou Jingyu seemed to see Ying Shiyi's loyal and stubborn love over a long period of time between the lines.

He stood in the bright light, while Ying Eleven silently guarded him in the darkness unknown to him, completing one task after another, just for the opportunity to meet him.

Lou Jingyu's eyes were sore, and he felt as if something was gushing out of his heart, making him want to hug Eleven tightly in his arms right now.
