I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

Jin Bao's teeth ached for him.

He did know that when Xue Yan just came out of the palace, the palace was built, and there was a servant girl in the palace who was not good at doing things, and served Xue Yan's dinner with a dish of pickled fish.At that time Xue Yan just came back from the yamen, only smelled the vinegar smell, and his face sank.

After that, that maid never appeared in Guangling Palace again.

But now, his master ate such a whole green apricot without even frowning?

Jin Bao was staring blankly when he saw Jun Huailang smiling, and for a moment, it seemed as if the peach blossoms in the courtyard were rustlingly blooming.

"It works," he said with a smile. "Although I haven't been seasick, I know I don't feel well. The prince drank alcohol again today, so he must feel even more uncomfortable."

Xue Yan glanced at him blankly, feeling a little hot.With difficulty, he looked back, picked up the bowl of mung bean water on the table, and drank it clean.

Although it barely washed away [-]% of the sourness in his mouth, he still couldn't taste it.

"It's uncomfortable," he said.

Jun Huailang actually heard a bit of grievance from his tone.

Looking at Xue Yan again, although he was lying there with no expression on his face, his brows were furrowed, which made him look particularly fierce, but upon closer inspection, it was found that his eyes were a little red, and his eyes were drunk, a little sullen.

One could tell at a glance that he was uncomfortably drunk.

He raised his eyes to look at Jun Huailang, his amber eyes glowed half drunk, like a listless big dog, making Jun Huailang's heart soften involuntarily.

Like being hit softly.

He knew how tiring it was to socialize in officialdom, let alone someone like Xue Yan who was not good at communicating with words.

Involuntarily, he forgot that Xue Yan was the King of Hades that no one dared to offend, and his tone softened a bit along with his heart: "Then tomorrow the prince will have a good rest in the mansion. I will make an agreement with them and not teach them to disturb you in the morning." you."

Jin Bao didn't see his master's drunken and coquettish face, he raised his hand to signal the surrounding servants, and retreated together.

Xue Yan's voice was a little hoarse: "No, tomorrow morning, I still have an appointment with the Duke."

It's also his fault that he talked too much with Yongning Gong today, which made Yongning Gong interested and insisted on going to see the water conservancy in the suburbs with him tomorrow.

Xue Yan naturally did not refuse.

Are you in such a hurry?Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered how harsh his father was in official affairs.He sighed helplessly, got up and said with a smile: "Then the prince will rest early today."

Hearing this, Xue Yan raised his head and looked at him, seeing that he was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Where are you going tomorrow?"

He drank too much wine, his gaze couldn't be concealed, and he looked at Jun Huailang burningly, which made Jun Huailang aware that he was inexplicably burned, and turned his gaze away uncomfortably, saying: "This I have to go to Linjiang Academy in a few days."

Xue Yan then asked: "Together with that dandy who listened to the song that day?"

This must be Shen Liufeng.

Jun Huailang went to Linjiang Academy, naturally not to find Shen Liufeng.The weather has been fine these few days, and he wants to take advantage of these few days to investigate the dam by the river.

After all, in his previous life, he had gone through the case of the Jinling dam breach many times. He wanted to combine the memories of his previous life to try to find the hidden danger of the dam breach in advance.

But of course he couldn't tell Xue Yan directly.

"Mr. Shen is just a bit more interested, and he is not considered a dandy." Jun Huailang said with a smile. "I always have nothing to do, so I go to Linjiang Academy to study more while I'm in Jinling."

Xue Yan snorted coldly, looked away, and did not speak.

On a normal day, Xue Yan's appearance would definitely scare the people around him so that they dare not make a sound.But now in Jun Huailang's eyes, he is just drunk and losing his temper, which makes people feel helpless.

"—Then, I'll take my leave, my lord?" Jun Huailang tentatively asked, still thinking about Xue Yan's early rest.

Hearing this, Xue Yan raised his head to look at him again.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Jun Huailang was not in a hurry, so he stood there and waited for him.

... I haven't seen him drink too much before, but I didn't realize that this kid still has the habit of cheating on alcohol.Jun Huailang couldn't help but slander.

Then, he heard Xue Yan speak.

"You're leaving again," he said.

Jun Huailang was taken aback when he heard the word "again", and then he understood what he meant.

Did he mean... a year ago?

At that time, I was taken out of the palace by my family, so I didn't say goodbye to him.After that, when I was hesitating to leave Chang'an, I met him just outside Chang'an city and told him.

After all, I left without saying goodbye twice.

Jun Huailang has devoted all his attention to the matter of killing his father in his previous life this year, and has never calmed down to think about it.It wasn't until now that he faced Xue Yan two by two that he suddenly felt a little guilty.

He wasn't going to have a guilty conscience.What he has always done is what he thinks is right, no matter what time it is, he has no regrets and no regrets.

This is true for treating Xue Yan kindly, and the same is true for going south to solve the crisis for his father.Originally, these were two unrelated things that he should do, but because of an accident, they became related.

This accident was Xue Yan.

From the beginning, he didn't intend to ask Xue Yan to repay anything, he just wanted him not to repeat the mistakes of his previous life, so as to protect his family.

However, Xue Yan reciprocated without even leaving a trace.

Even if he never said it, Jun Huailang could still feel it.This taciturn, seemingly withdrawn and indifferent young man returned all his sincerity to him.

He repaid too much, so much that Jun Huailang felt that he owed him.

At this time, he left again, feeling guilty in his heart.

Jun Huailang stayed where he was, looked at Xue Yan, and was speechless for a while.

After a while, Xue Yan turned his eyes away and said, "Go back."

He was a little annoyed, and felt that drinking was a mistake.He drank too much today, and his mind was a little dizzy, and some emotions and words that should have been hidden in his heart were revealed without paying attention.

He knew it shouldn't be.

Xue Yan supported his forehead and closed his eyes again.

He thought to himself, it's so hypocritical, why tell him this, it's embarrassing.

Just then, footsteps sounded.

But not from near to far, but from far to near.

Just when Xue Yan thought it was a hallucination, a dry, slightly cold hand landed on his forehead.

Xue Yan looked up, and saw Jun Huailang standing in front of him, looking down at him.

The light in the room was soft, and his gaze was also extremely soft, shining slightly.

"Before I left without saying goodbye in the palace, it was really a last resort. When I came to Jiangnan, I didn't take the initiative to tell the prince. It was my fault." He said.

Xue Yan stared at him blankly, speechless for a long time.

After a while, with a hoarse voice, he whispered, "...you are right."

However, Jun Huailang shook his head, his voice was gentle and clear, and his tone was quite serious: "I have never told the prince. The matter of coming to the south of the Yangtze River was arranged in advance. I also have some things... I must do it here. Originally I want to accompany you in the palace until the spring, and then talk to you, but I don't want any accidents."

Xue Yan's voice was low and hoarse, and he said without thinking: "What do you want to do, I will help you."

Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment, and then an inexplicable warmth filled his heart.

always like this.he thought.I was explaining my reason for coming to him, but in his eyes, there was only one thing.

It doesn't matter why he does it, what matters is that he can do it for himself.

It was always like this in the palace before, doing many things without saying a word.A year has passed and nothing has changed.

There was a helpless smile on his face, he patted Xue Yan's forehead lightly, and said in a gentle voice like coaxing a child: "Then I will thank the lord first."

Xue Yan's ears were hot, and even his neck burned.Jun Huailang's hand was originally intended to cool him down, but the effect was not very good. Instead, it made Xue Yan's skin that was in contact with him burn even more.

He wanted to raise his hand to hold his hand, and then used his last bit of self-control to forcefully lock his hand in place, which made his movements a little stiff.

He lowered his eyes and his voice was low.

"...You're welcome." He whispered.

-

In the early morning of the second day, Xue Yan went out with Duke Yongning.

Jun Huailang saw that the weather was fine, so he set off for Linjiang Academy.

He originally thought that he would have a half-day class there in the morning and go to the embankment in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River changed as it said, and when it was almost noon, it began to rain heavily.

He saw that the weather was fine, so he didn't ask Fuyi to bring rain gear, and the governor's mansion was not too far from the academy, so he didn't take a carriage either.Now, he had no choice but to be trapped in the academy, and had to wait until the rain stopped in the afternoon before leaving.

But I didn't expect that the rain would not stop at once, until the end of the academy in the afternoon, the rain did not decrease at all.

Now, the students in the academy were all trapped inside.

Some of them took umbrellas and left first, while the rest of the scholars waited in the academy for the rain to stop.But after waiting for a while, there was no rain, so some students started to walk out in the rain.

Shen Liufeng was originally waiting here with Jun Huailang, but he couldn't sit still after waiting for a while.

"Or shall we go out in the rain first?" he said. "My family's carriage is parked outside the academy, I'll take you back first."

Jun Huailang glanced at the pouring rain outside, thinking that it might not be able to stop today, hearing this, he nodded without much hesitation.

Outside, it really was a thick rain curtain.Many students stood under the eaves, waiting for the rain to stop with a sad face.

Shen Liufeng gritted his teeth, and rushed into the rain first: "Let's go, Huai Lang! Let's go faster, so we can avoid the rain!"

Jun Huailang responded when he heard the words, and was about to follow out, but was grabbed by Fu Yi.

"Master, look there!" He pointed to the gate of the academy.

Jun Huailang looked in the direction he pointed.

I saw one of the scholars running out, holding an umbrella, walking against the crowd towards the academy.

The man was dressed in a dark robe, tall, with a murderous aura of a superior person, in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, he looked quite out of place.
