Seeing Li Yu's serious expression, Leng Muqing was stunned for a while, and then said, "It's so deceiving."

"Huh?" Li Yu was a little confused.

"For people like you, be careful, you won't even know if you're abducted."

She looked not far behind Li Yu, stretched out her hand maliciously, put it on Li Yu's left shoulder, and said with a smile.

"However, this princess doesn't hate a fool like you."

--Why?Li Yu was still thinking about the meaning of her words, but unexpectedly, there was a thrust from his shoulders, and his body became unstable and fell backwards.

There was a rush of footsteps behind him, but the expected pain did not come, but he fell into a gentle embrace.

Shen Haoran has been watching them from a distance, and he wanted to wait for them to finish talking before going forward, but he didn't expect to witness this scene, so he hurried forward to catch Li Yu in three steps and two steps.

"What is the princess doing?" Shen Haoran's tone was not kind.

Only then did Li Yu come to his senses, struggling to stand still in Shen Haoran's arms.

"It's nothing, it's boring to see you standing so far away looking at this person and not daring to step forward."

"Why bother? If you want something, it's better to just grab it. I'm timid and dare not go forward. I take one step closer and then two steps back. It makes people feel irritable."

Looking at Li Yu's flushed cheeks, Leng Muqing tilted her head and smiled.

"If you don't protect him, I'm going to rob him."

Shen Haoran's hand protecting Li Yu slowly tightened, not noticing the strangeness of the person in his embrace at all, but rarely raising a dangerous smile.

"...I don't want the princess to worry about the prince's affairs."

"That's the best, the princess doesn't want to care too much."

After Leng Muqing finished speaking, she walked away.

Leng Yuanhan, who was silent at the side, smiled, and then followed the footsteps and left.

Shen Haoran stared at the two leaving figures, only then noticed the struggling person in his arms, and quickly asked softly, "What's the matter, did I hurt you?"

Li Yu stood firm and retreated a safe distance, "I, I'm fine, thank you Your Highness for your concern."

It's not good... my heart is almost scrapped.

Unexpectedly, the person behind him would be Shen Haoran, with a familiar and warm touch, he would recall that absurd dream this morning.

To some extent, the dream will reflect the wish and intention of the dreamer.

Thinking every day, dreaming at night, how could I dream of such content.

That's just, that's...

Do you want him to fight?Wish he was more proactive?Don’t be separated by a layer of veil, since you like it, don’t——

ah!Li Yu really wanted to pat himself on the head, what was he thinking just now?

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Haoran thought that the wound on his forehead was still hurting, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand, hanging in mid-air without touching the wound lightly.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's just a minor injury, it's not worth worrying about His Highness."

—Small injury.

Shen Haoran was a little displeased, and his tone couldn't help but be a bit heavier, "If it wasn't for Prince Leng's superb medical skills, your hand would be useless."

It was the first time he spoke to Li Yu in such a tone, so Li Yu was startled for a moment.

"Can't you... cherish yourself more?"

"How many times is this already? Every time you don't care about the consequences, you use your body to block the danger and stand in front of others regardless of the consequences..."

She obviously didn't want to see him in danger, but she watched him bruised and bruised again and again.

"Princess Leng was attacked, and you were the one who stood in front of her. If Yueting hadn't thrown a hidden weapon, you would have died by the sword a long time ago."

"The prince is attacked, and you have to get involved. I don't know where you learned about the plan of the prince's attack, but you clearly knew that staying by his side would be dangerous, so you blocked the cold arrow with your body."

"And in that fire, why did you go there to save people? The burns on your hands are from that time, right? Do you know how dangerous it would be if the pillars of the old library collapsed if you failed to escape? What to do? What to do if you get hurt?"

"And why... stand in front of me? If it weren't for you, Yueting would have died, and I would have sunk to the bottom of the river long ago."

Shen Haoran's continuous questioning made Li Yu's drowsy mind even more blank.

Wait... what he just said—

Everyone knows about the prince, and it's not a secret.

But...how did you know about Leng Xiurong's attack and the fire?

The matter of the fire was disgraceful, and it was suppressed by the prime minister's mansion, so not many people knew about it.

And the attack on Leng Xiurong is not something that can be put on the table, except for himself and Xiurong, no one else knows.

So... why would he know?

Did he—send someone to spy on me?

"Why does Your Highness know about Xiurong's attack and fire?"

"This sentence should be what I want to ask."

"Why do you always know what will happen next, and then do everything you can to prevent it? These things have nothing to do with you, and you don't need to use yourself to block these dangers."

"Before the dragon lantern fell, there was no warning at all. All the guards, even Feng Ya, didn't notice it. Your martial arts are not high, so how could you notice the abnormality of the dragon lantern?"

"You actually know that the dragon lantern will fall, and you also know that Leng Muqing will die, but you don't want to see her die, and would rather save her if you get hurt. You obviously hate her, but you choose to save her between life and death." she."

"Seeing you standing in front of those people recklessly and suffering such a serious injury... I will be heartbroken..."

Shen Haoran gently protected him in his arms, fearing that his wounds would be pulled, so he could only lighten his strength, because of the fluctuating heartbeat due to emotion.

"From now on, I'll protect you, okay?"

Li Yu opened his eyes, his heart was full of shakes.

In the original work, Shen Haoran has two habits, one is to send people to monitor the existence that he thinks is threatening, and the other is to send people to protect the people who are important to him.

It was so long ago that Leng Xiurong was attacked, but Shen Haoran knew, that is to say, he had been arranging people to monitor him since a long time ago.

No...is this surveillance?Or... guard?

Li Yu remembered that in the original novel, after Lijiang assassinated the second prince, in order to protect Li Qingnuo and prevent Empress Li from secretly attacking, the second prince strengthened the guards around Li Qingnuo.

After the Lijiang incident, it is the attack on the prince's hunting ground.

Also, that is to say...

From that time on, what Shen Haoran strengthened was not the guards around Li Qingnuo, but the guards around him!

Didn't Shen Haoran's relationship line start to deviate from the Lijiang incident?But before, before!

"His Royal Highness sent someone to watch me? When did it happen?"

Li Yu asked in a low voice.

Shen Haoran was silent for a few seconds before slowly answering.

"All along, I have sent people to monitor every move of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Always?

"In the beginning, it was indeed for the purpose of surveillance. Let Yueting monitor your every move, and report any abnormalities at any time."

"But... I slowly discovered that you are not the young master of the past, but a kind and gentle person. I don't know when it started... I can't take my eyes off you."

"Why do you always protect others regardless of your own safety? Time and time again, it makes me very worried. I always wake up at night, afraid that you are in danger, so I can only be protected by others." By your side, lest you get into trouble."

Wait... What the hell are you talking about?

"But why... this time I was clearly by your side, but I still didn't protect you?"

"Yes, I am very envious of Leng Xiurong. She can stay by your side and be by your side all the time. I know that this is very wrong with me, but I still can't help but think about it."

"I want to stay closer to you, and I want to be able to protect you."

Listening to his words, Li Yu felt a little dizzy and felt weightless under his feet. Maybe the injury on his head didn't heal.

You are the noble and cold second prince in the original work!Don't say such things in such a hurt and inferior tone!

Obviously in the original work, there was no such offensive against Li Qingnuo.

But he was the only one who said such words.

—It's not good.

There is no way to think.

Although... so far, he has saved so many people and changed so many plots, but it is different for Shen Haoran.

When I saw him, my heart felt like a stone suddenly fell into the lake, causing ripples and it was difficult to calm down.

What Leng Muqing said was not unreasonable. What kind of person could make him so desperate to obtain the Red Chain Snake Jade.

——I don't want to admit it.

I don't want to admit that I am really tempted.

Please...if possible, I really don't want to be tempted...

Once you are tempted, you will feel that you are no longer yourself, and you will have something you care about. In this case——

Li Yu lowered his head, not wanting him to see his nervous eyes, and slowly pushed him away with his left hand, trying to control his tone as steady as possible.

"I... Thank you, Your Highness. Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm a man after all, so I can protect myself. Your Highness... don't worry too much about me."

"I know what is important to me, and I will cherish myself and not let myself be in danger, so... I can do it myself."

He took a deep breath, feeling a little helpless.

"I know you are a man, and I know that you are smart and strong. In comparison, I don't know how long I can live with this broken body."

"I just don't want to see you hurt again."

He put his eyes on the injured hand, paused, and his tone sank instantly, "So, I will protect you in my own way from now on."

"I will not allow anyone to touch a hair of yours."

A firm tone, gentle eyes.

No one ever said to protect him.

All along, no matter how unfairly he was treated, he would only think that he must quickly become stronger, so strong that no one could bully him.

Even if you are tired, uncomfortable, and knocked to the ground countless times, you still need to get up, face, and defeat the opponent.

——You are a boy, you have to be brave and strong.

——You are an older brother, you have to protect your younger brother.

——Your parents were killed by you, you are a wild child!The dead star!

Instead of praying and hoping that others will save you, it is better to make yourself strong enough to protect yourself and others.

But... no one has ever cared about him or protected him.

He didn't want others to worry, so he could only smile and welcome the upcoming dangers and difficulties.

In fact, there is still a trace of worry and uneasiness in my heart.

That kind of soft and timid emotion, disguised behind the strong, will only reveal a little when tossing and turning in the middle of the night.

But he didn't expect that he would be stripped away bit by bit by this person.

I really... really like this guy.
