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

Jin Bao trotted along behind him, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, not daring to say a word.

Today he followed his master to the outskirts of Jinling to inspect the water conservancy, and it started to rain around noon.Fortunately, there were umbrellas in the carriage they were traveling on, and Mr. Yongning was serious and stubborn in his work, so they braved the rain until just now before they finished inspecting the fields and rushed to the city.

Just entered the city, two miles to the east is Linjiang Academy.There was no one on the road at the moment, and through the window, I could just see a scholar running home in the rain.

The rain soaked the gown.

"Stop." Xue Yan who was sitting by the window suddenly said.

They came out today in the yamen's car, and at the moment the journey was mighty, as soon as Xue Yan's car stopped, the cars of the officials who followed stopped.

"Master?" Jin Bao hurriedly came forward to wait for his order.

"Go and tell Zhifu Shen that I have something to do, let them go back to the Yamen first." Xue Yan said.

Jin Bao hurriedly got out of the car in the rain and went to find the prefect Shen.

Therefore, the front car in the convoy drove away from the main road and turned towards Linjiang Academy.

"What is master going to the academy for?" Jinbao was puzzled.

Xue Yan put one hand on the side of his head, closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if he didn't hear his question.

Jin Bao closed his mouth resentfully.

He didn't know, but yesterday his master was so drunk that he was half-drowsy and half-awake, and he still clearly remembered that Jun Huailang said that he was going to come to Jiang Academy to study these days, and he was still with that Shen Liufeng.

People who don't like sour food can remember it for a long time after eating it once.

Linjiang Academy was built on the edge of the river. Although it occupies a large area, due to the terrain, the road at the entrance is not very wide.All the official roads in Jinling City can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages in parallel, but at the gate of Linjiang Academy, only two carriages can run in parallel.

It was raining heavily today, with cars coming and going, coupled with the large number of people and the accumulation of water on the road, the carriages entering were immediately blocked at the intersection, making it difficult to move forward.

The carriage stopped at the intersection, so it was difficult to avoid pedestrians and move in little by little.

Xue Yan frowned.

When he came today, he didn't know if Jun Huailang had left, nor did he have an umbrella with him.Just thinking that he might return home in the rain, he couldn't help but want to come here.

Seeing soaked-up scholars everywhere on the road, he felt a little restless.

I can't get in for half a day, what if Jun Huailang has gone away in the rain?

"Stop the car." Thinking of this, Xue Yan said loudly.

The carriage stopped by the side of the road.

Before Jinbao could react, Xue Yan took the umbrella from his hand, bowed and got out of the car.Jin Bao was in a hurry, quickly pulled out the spare umbrella from under the seat, and jumped out of the car.

I saw his master holding an umbrella, stepping across the bluestone ground full of water, walking all the way to the academy.

Jin Bao followed behind in a daze, until he saw the blue figure under the eaves of the academy, and then he realized what his master was here for.

Jin Bao secretly smiled from behind.

Jun Huailang under the eaves was also a little surprised.

Following the direction Fuyi pointed, he saw Xue Yan coming with an umbrella.

It was raining heavily, blurring the surrounding scenery and the people coming and going. I saw him holding an umbrella all the way and coming towards him.

Thousands of raindrops poured down from the sky, and the scholars who were sheltering from the rain were chatting livelyly. Amidst the noise, Jun Huailang's heart suddenly felt hot.

... But it's raining, why is he here?

Xue Yan approached.

It is clear that he is the same age as the people around him, and even many scholars who study here are much older than him.But there was a calm and majestic aura about him, as soon as he approached, the surroundings fell silent for a moment.

Jun Huailang saw that his boots and clothes were soaked in water.

He was momentarily speechless.

He saw Xue Yan stop in front of him.

Jin Bao, who was behind, hurried forward and hit the umbrella in his hand on Shen Liu's limelight in the rain, and then saw his master stop in front of His Royal Highness.

His Royal Highness was standing on the steps, and he was standing at the bottom of the steps. The two of them were looking at the same level. Next to them were the green bamboos planted in the academy, rustling in the rain.

"No umbrella?" His master asked.

Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's sunny in the morning, so I forgot about it."

Then, he saw Xue Yan looking sideways, and said to Fu Yi next to him, "This is not an example."

The aura was so cold that Fuyi even forgot that this was not his master, so Nuonuo nodded.

"Let's go." Xue Yan said, pouring the umbrella in his hand onto Jun Huailang's head.

Jun Huailang took a step after him, and was brought to his side by Xue Yan.

The wind was blowing from the east, and Xue Yan stood beside him, blocking all the wind.

And following the direction of the wind, Xue Yan's cold and heavy breath could just float to his nose.

Light, but gloomy, it is a lingering sandalwood.

Jun Huailang raised his head and glanced at him involuntarily.

Cold, calm, with a lingering power and hostility between his brows and eyes.

Usually this smell should be in the Buddhist hall and enshrined in front of the Buddha, but now it is smelled from Xue Yan's body, it is miraculously not contrary to harmony.

It looks like the angry-eyed King Kong in the shrine, and it looks like the fighting Buddha who has been enlightened.

At this moment, Xue Yan raised his hand, pressed his shoulder, and pulled him towards his side.

The gloomy sandalwood enveloped him.

"Be careful, don't go outside the umbrella." Xue Yan said.

Only then did Jun Huailang realize that he was in a daze just now.

Uncommonly uncomfortable, he cleared his throat and asked, "Why are you here today?"

Xue Yan looked at the road ahead without moving his eyes, and said calmly: "Just passing by."

This... the way back from the suburbs, Jun Huailang has traveled many times.No matter which one, it wouldn't happen to pass by Linjiang Academy, right?

He glanced at Xue Yan again, but Xue Yan remained silent.

Jun Huailang could only look away.

Jin Bao, who was walking behind, sighed softly.

"What's the matter?" Fu Yi who was following beside him asked in a low voice.

Jin Bao shook his head, but did not speak.

My master thought he was covering it up well, but he didn't know how stiff his back was when viewed from behind.

His shoulders were straight, as if facing a formidable enemy, especially the hand that had just been held by the opponent, and after it was released, he was not willing to take it back at all, and kept circling him in a place where the opponent did not see.

It was like hiding a precious treasure in her arms.

-

After getting into the car, the carriage and the curtain separated the rain from the window, and the noisy rain in Jun Huailang's ears became quieter.

He let out a sigh, and looked down at the hem of his clothes.

No matter how careful I was on the road just now, I still got my shoes and socks wet.At the moment, it is wet and sticky to the body, and it is always a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, he saw Xue Yan's clothes from the corner of his eye.

Although the dark-colored hang silk was not clearly visible, he could still see it, and the hem of the other party's clothes was completely soaked.

He looked up at Xue Yan, and saw him sitting quietly in the carriage, looking sideways out the window.

And his robe was wet from his shoulders to his chest, only the small half next to him was dry.

Jun Huailang was taken aback.

He remembered that under such a heavy rain, he was not wet at all.

Xue Yan felt his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jun Huailang accidentally raised his hand and touched his wet shoulder.

Sure enough, the cloth was cold and wet, and it stuck tightly to the flesh.Through the wet fabric, you can still feel the hard and tight body inside, exuding vigorous heat.

Jun Huailang suddenly seemed to be scalded, and withdrew his hand.

Only then did Xue Yan come back to his senses and knew what he was looking at.

Even he didn't notice it himself.He came today because he was afraid that Jun Huailang would get caught in the rain, so he took an umbrella on the way, so naturally he had to cover him tightly.

...Besides, the two of them were so close just now, not to mention it was just raining, even if the sky threw swords down, he probably wouldn't feel any pain.

"It's okay." Xue Yan looked away, only to feel his pulse beating suddenly under the piece of flesh that was touched just now. "There is no rainy day without rain."

Jun Huailang thought, I didn't get wet.

But he couldn't speak.After a while, he hummed lightly, turned his eyes away, and looked out the window.

The inexplicable warmth in his heart just now gradually spread to his limbs and bones in the quiet and silent carriage.

He has long been used to protecting the people around him, and he has never felt that he needs to be protected.

His father was cold-tempered, and his son's education was stricter.And Jun Huailang is the eldest son, whether it's his younger siblings, mother or aunt, they are all under his protection.

In his previous life, he died before his parents were crowned.He assumed the title, and the burden of the entire Yongning Duke's Mansion fell on him.

He never felt that anything was wrong either.

Until this life, even for Xue Yan, after agreeing with him, he subconsciously protected him—in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with it.Even if he is a prince, his situation is much worse than him.Everyone hates him and avoids him, and it is within the scope of what he should do to lend a helping hand.

But he never thought that there would be times when he would be protected by the other party.

Even if it is a rain that is not a big deal to me.

The carriage drove back to the Governor's Mansion quietly.

When their car stopped, they no longer needed to hold their own umbrellas.A servant has long been waiting at the door with an umbrella to open the car curtain for them.When Jun Huailang got out of the car, an umbrella was placed over his head.

The surrounding rain fell and splashed on the ground.

But for no reason, he thought of the umbrella that fell over his head just now in the academy.

He turned his head and glanced at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan didn't seem to notice his gaze.He was holding the curtain of the car by Jinbao, bowed slightly, and jumped out of the car.

At this moment, Jun Huailang heard a slight, almost inaudible meow.

He turned his head, and in the fine rain, he saw a small dark shadow outside the gate of the governor's mansion, curled up in the corner of the gate, shaking slightly.

It is a place where the rain cannot reach.

The servant holding the umbrella for him suddenly didn't realize it, and was about to lead him to the mansion.Jun Huailang's footsteps stopped, and he ordered: "Wait."

Then, he took the umbrella and took two steps towards the corner.

Under the white corner, lies a fluffy little wild cat.It's a tabby color.Seeing someone coming, the kitten raised its head and shrank back into the corner in fright, but it did not forget to bar its baby teeth and purr threateningly at him, like a fierce little tiger.

Those eyes turned out to be amber.
