The whole empire thinks I cheated

After seeing the person coming, Erkelina was very curious: "Guardian...Mu Long, is this tightly wrapped child your younger brother?"

"...Mmm." Xun Mulong's eyelids twitched, watching the young man walk in front of him, without speaking, quietly watching him through the short brim of his hat.

"El," Xun Mulong said, "I'm sorry, let's talk about the meal next time."

Xun Mulong, who was already tangled in his heart, maintained his composure on the surface, nodded to Pei You, thanked him for sending someone over, and coughed: "...Go to my office."

If he took His Highness the Seventh Prince to the cafeteria, within 10 minutes, His Highness's identity would be exposed to those colleagues who were full of thirst for knowledge, and the fun would be great.

Qi Yuan nodded silently, glanced at Erkelina with the obviously oversized food box in his arms, lowered his gaze, waited quietly for Xun Mulong to bid farewell to his colleagues, and then the two walked back to Xun Mulong's room in silence. office.

As soon as he entered the room, Xun Mulong turned off the monitoring equipment in the room for the first time, cut off the unconditional leapfrog access for the second time, drew the curtains, and then said to the young man standing there: "Your Highness, please sit down as you please."

Qi Yuan waited for Xun Mulong to finish, took off his mask, put the food box on the coffee table, and lowered his head: "...General, let's eat."

Xun Mulong didn't eat the two meals at first, but now it's brought to his mouth, it's unreasonable not to eat it, eating... I'm afraid every bite is a burden.

Qi Yuan's voice was soft: "General, what's the matter, let's talk after dinner, okay?"

The Seventh Highness had already talked about this, and Xun Mulong couldn't refuse. After sitting down, he took the tableware handed over by Qi Yuan, and said, "Your Highness, aren't you coming together?"

"I've eaten." Qi Yuan said, "This is for you, General."

Only then did Xun Mulong start to eat the green vegetables. He immediately discovered the problem inside. After chewing and swallowing the food, Xun Mulong said, "...Your Highness, did you make it yourself?"

He had only eaten one meal prepared by His Highness the Seventh Prince, but he remembered the taste of that meal clearly, and the taste of this meal was the same as last time.

Qi Yuan nodded, a little embarrassed: "...I asked for leave today, and I was at home, so I didn't take up training time."

The dissatisfaction from Xun Mulong's dissatisfaction with the Seventh Highness's cooking last time seemed to be particularly deep in Qi Yuan's memory.

Xun Mulong glanced at the delicately placed meals in the food box: "Thank you, Your Highness."

A highness cooks himself, trying to please him in a clumsy way, which he has never encountered before.

After being hungry for a whole day, Xun Mulong quickly cleaned up the food. His Highness the Seventh Highness had a good grasp of the amount, and it seemed that Xun Mulong had an intention to observe Xun Mulong's eating on weekdays.

After tidying up the food box, Xun Mulong also knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he said to Qi Yuan: "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, please say it."

"I like you, Your Excellency General." The young Qingling's voice sounded, without any hesitation, he uttered these words very quickly.

Xun Mulong: "..."

This Highness actually said so directly!

At this time, Qi Yuan didn't dodge at all, and stared straight at Xun Mulong with big eyes: "General, you should already know."

Xun Mulong thought for a while: "...Your Highness, you may have been misled."

That's right, an underage Highness became a partner with a completely strange man because of a marriage that was forced to bind him together. He will pay some attention to the other party unconsciously, and his mentality will also change. He is too young The children can't distinguish the real emotion, maybe it just comes from adoration, respect, or love, which is magnified and portrayed as... like.

"General, is your room completely isolated right now?" Qi Yuan hesitated, and said, "In this case, I can tell you a story."

Xun Mulong's eyelids twitched: "...a story?"

Qi Yuan hooked the corner of his mouth: "Well, a story."

"There is a child who has been relatively withdrawn since he was a child. He has no companions, no friends, and his family is relatively estranged. He does not receive good psychological care. He is very lonely."

Xun Mulong was taken aback.

Qi Yuan's eyes were empty, and he said softly: "He has little contact with the outside world, and knows very little. One day, he heard his brothers talking about a person, a very outstanding person. They discussed this person Discuss this person’s study and behavior, and later, except for his brother, sisters, classmates, and people around him, they all began to discuss every bit of this person. The child found that this person was really different from him. , is a person who can easily gather many friends around him, and he has also received countless loves, attention from the outside world, and love from others. It is completely different from this child."

"One day, this child was brought to a banquet for the first time, and saw the person who had been discussed by others, who smiled at him, brought him food, and would sneak out with him in the night sky to identify constellations together, When the music is playing in the venue, let the child step on his instep and dance together, and when the child falls asleep, hold him until he wakes up... The sense of security that wraps the whole body is That child has never been touched."

Qi Yuan's eyes were a little weird, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be hooked, but drooped powerlessly.

"Later, the child always cared about that person. I heard that that person had done great things. He was admitted to a very good school at a very young age. He soon changed from being discussed by people around him to A character that is discussed throughout the empire. That child wanted to get close to that person, but I don’t know if that person forgot him. At the banquet later, that person would only give a polite smile to the child who was desperately trying to get close to him. There is nothing else. The child is very uncomfortable and dare not talk to that person again, so he can only secretly pay attention to that person to see what meals he likes to eat, what juice he likes to drink, who he will relax when chatting with, who he talks to I was very irritable when shaking hands... That child only had one or two times a year to get in touch with that person, which was pitifully small. He kept thinking about when he would be able to get closer to this person who had been occupying all his thoughts until When he was 14, because of an accident with that person, he and that person... got engaged."

"I'm so happy," Qi Yuan seemed to be rubbing his eyes, the broken hair on his forehead was drooping to cover his eyebrows and eyes, "At that time, the child was so happy that he seemed to have obtained the whole world, but the duration of happiness was too short, one month, That person completely forgot about him... In the next few years, the child's family did not know why, and avoided meeting them on almost any occasion. It was really hard, but fortunately, they finally got married. "

"A long-awaited dream has finally come true."

A tear rolled down the white-haired boy's cheek and dripped down his chin: "...General, I'm really happy."

Xun Mulong was completely stunned.

... His Highness the Seventh Prince, has been paying attention to him since he was a child?Even liked him...for many years...

Suddenly, the boy's words came to mind.

together for a lifetime.

Could there be such a strong emotion behind this young man whom he thought was forced to bond with him?

Qi Yuan sniffed: "General, I like you, not in a day or two, nor in a year or two, I know exactly what I think about you, and I also know that there will be no more love in the days to come." A person like you will make me restless, I really want to marry you, and then, I will live my life well."

"...You," Xun Mulong was confused, "I..."

This Highness has always seriously wanted to live with him, so he obeyed him, listened to him, and accepted any of his decisions with a smile.What about him?

Apart from taking care of this Highness as a benefactor and being willing to help him train, there is almost no place where it can be said that he is devoted to His Highness the Seventh Highness.

In such an unequal relationship, only Qi Yuan is willing to be happy.

"General, I want to live seriously with you as a married person," Qi Yuan wiped away tears, raised his head and said firmly, "I like you, want to have you, and am willing to change for you!"

a minor...

He likes you……

The underage prince...

Sincerely liking you for several years...

Xun Mulong's eyes changed several times, looking at the young man with determined eyes, he was silent for a moment, and said seriously: "Your Highness, I don't like you."

If liking means monopoly and heartbeat, then he doesn't have such strong feelings for His Highness now.

"I know," Qi Yuan's face was gloomy, and he cheered up, "but you don't like me now, it doesn't mean you won't like me in the future. You never regarded me as someone you can like, it's normal , if you look at me as someone you can like, maybe soon, you will like me."

"Your Excellency, I am also very good!" With these words, the young man raised his chin seriously and proudly said.

Xun Mulong's eyes softened: "...Yes, Your Highness, you are excellent."

He's good, of course he knows it.

"So can you like me?" Qi Yuan said, "Not now, but in the future, when I am an adult, can you like me?"

Xun Mulong sighed: "I don't know."

Likes are beyond his control, so how can he just say he likes it...

"General, how about this?" His Royal Highness said stubbornly, "Let's make a bet on whether you will like me. Get along well, if you like me, then I will agree to your divorce request; if you don't like me during this period, then...you are not eligible to file for divorce, okay?"

Do you want to try to like this Highness?Xun Mulong asked himself.

As if it was just a moment, and it seemed like a very long time, Xun Mulong heard his own sighing voice: "Okay."

He suddenly wanted to try the feeling of his heart beating for another person.
