the one who lives in my body

Because of my guilty conscience, I hardly dared to look into Xie Dongrong's eyes.

Of course I know that Xie Dongrong can take me there, and this may be much more convenient than asking An Hexuan.

But at that time, I was even more wary of Xie Dongrong than now. On the one hand, I knew that he had a close relationship with the First Prince, and the two of them exchanged information. Tong back to my thoughts.

This is one of the reasons why I have been forcing myself to stay in the capital.

If Xie Dongrong finds out such thoughts, I can almost imagine how he will deny me.

Besides, if my companion was Xie Dongrong that day, it would have been difficult to communicate alone with An Jingtong.

Xie Dongrong narrowed his eyes, shocked?Confuse?Obviously, he did not support my statement.

"Don't you know? I thought An Hexuan would tell you..." He smiled, did An Hexuan not talk to Xie Dongrong?This is really a bit strange. With the relationship between the two of them, it is impossible to...

"I don't seem to have told you," Xie Dongrong said after pondering for a moment, "Actually, I haven't contacted An Hexuan for a long time. The reason...you should understand."

reason?My brain froze for a moment, and I thought that Xie Dongrong might think highly of me, because in my perception, they are still good roommates and good friends who are inseparable like they were a few years ago.

But looking at Xie Dongrong's expression, after what he said, I soon understood.

It is because of the throne.

There is no doubt that the original successor is An Boyan, and I have always taken it for granted.

At that time, the king did not have any room for negotiation, which is why the brotherhood of the three princes was able to maintain a stable relationship.

Of course, there is another very important point - An Hexuan at the time may not have known that An Boyan was not the biological brother of his compatriots.

However, since the Amut people's maintenance incident back then, which caused An Boyan to lose his trust in the king and sent him from the border, everything was different.

The repressed queen has always wanted her own flesh and blood to become the future king, which will undoubtedly make her more stable and stable in her later years.

An Boyan broke his promise in front of the king, she thought her chance had come.

As for Xie Dongrong's forces, they sided with the eldest prince An Boyan's faction early on.

When his long-time friend and roommate learns the "truth" and is forced to shoulder the mission of seizing the throne, can they still coexist peacefully as usual?

Now that the king is seriously ill, it is the time when all forces are eyeing each other to seek the highest power.

How could there be harmony between Xie Dongrong and An Hexuan?

I had difficulty breathing for a while, but Xie Dongrong's two short sentences woke me up instantly.

Am I going to get him into trouble again?

When I looked up, Xie Dongrong's expression was a bit complicated.

"Are you no longer on good terms?" I asked tentatively, feeling anxious for a moment because I didn't know Xie Dongrong's attitude towards this.

"Not necessarily," Xie Dongrong smiled, "I just learned from other sources that the queen is hostile to me, my mother, and even Namin as a whole, especially when she knew that I surrendered to An Boyan. I don't know what An Hexuan thinks, because he no longer contacts me."

As the queen's son, how would An Hexuan view all this?

"You can try to contact him..."

As soon as this remark came out, Xie Dongrong shook his head in denial, "The first prince's mental state is not good, he is under a lot of pressure now, he is very sensitive to the disturbances of the outside world, and his personality is a bit suspicious, so it is emotional and reasonable. Can't do that."

"An Boyan has been trained as an emperor since he was a child, and he himself has such aptitude." Unusually, Xie Dongrong became serious, "Compared to him, An Hexuan and An Shenhai are not the most suitable Candidates, but in the current situation, An Boyan does not have the advantage. In fact, I have a safer choice, but I appreciate him. Some of his views are similar to mine. This is the main reason why I have always firmly chosen to support him. reason."

After finishing speaking, Xie Dongrong fell silent.

He sat on the edge of the bed, staring out the window, as if suddenly lost in thought.

And for a while, I didn't know what to say.

After a while——"Tao Shu, for your safety, you can find a reason to decline An Hexuan's invitation." This was Xie Dongrong's final suggestion to me.

What Xie Dongrong said is not unreasonable, but I don't like such a negative approach.

"...Actually, this can also be said to be an opportunity." Walking to Xie Dongrong, after a moment of deliberation, I said my thoughts, "So, you don't know what An Hexuan really thinks, why don't you borrow it?" How about asking from my mouth?"

When Xie Dongrong raised his eyes to look over, his eyes were still a little hesitant.

"Aren't you friends? In fact, he and I are also friends. You have to believe that he is not that kind of person. Since it is difficult for you to communicate, you can indeed try other channels. And, after all, you called me Brother, you don’t need to focus on protecting me.”

When Xie Dongrong walked over, instinctively, I stepped back slightly, but in the end he still hugged me.

He bowed slightly, and I had to tiptoe slightly because of his strength.

He seemed to be dawdling at me, "Sometimes I think you are too much." His lips and teeth were very close to me, as if right next to my ear, "But..." He didn't say the latter sentence , On the contrary, he bit my earlobe, exerting a little force as if venting his anger, and it hurt a little.

I want to push it away, but I feel that the atmosphere at the moment is a bit inappropriate.

Patting him on the back, finally, he honestly let go, when he stood up, he looked over and called me softly: "Brother."

I was numb all over by his yelling, and in an instant, my body seemed to be ignited and became hot.

"What are you doing?" I bit the bullet and agreed, but felt a little ashamed in my heart for no reason.

At this moment, the expression on Xie Dongrong's face was gentle, "I want to say, then please."

I have to say that the Xie Dongrong in front of me is more or less different from the one in my impression. For a while, I couldn't tell the truth from the fake. However, I think human nature is complicated. Maybe our current relationship has given birth to There is another unknown side of Xie Dongrong, or maybe it is the side he has been suppressing...

"Also, I forgot to mention that my brother's new clothes are very nice." Xie Dongrong smiled slightly, raised his hand, grabbed my bow tie, and pulled it lightly, "This one suits you very well."

This posture is undoubtedly a bit ambiguous. I took a step back in a little embarrassment, but my back touched the wardrobe and made a slight sound.

I feel that Xie Dongrong's expression is a bit abnormal at this moment, the kind of gentle excitement, and the sharpness of restraint make me weak for no reason.

"Why did you suddenly praise me..." My eyes wandered to the door involuntarily, I wanted to leave, and I realized that the situation at this moment was a little dangerous.

However, Xie Dongrong's body blocked my sight, and he walked in front of me, "Did I seldom praise you before?" He asked me, leaning slightly, feeling the cold fingertips on his neck, "Your neck It's very nice, here..." The position of the Adam's apple was viciously poked by his fingers, Xie Dongrong laughed as he said, "When you bite, you are very scared and you will cry."

A shock, like an electric shock, I waved Xie Dongrong's hand away, and the moment I got out of his controllable range, I couldn't help but feel...frightened, I don't know why my body suddenly couldn't move, I just looked at him His eyes seemed to be bewitched, and at the same time seemed to be fascinated, and his thoughts were no longer clear...

This feeling...is somewhat familiar.

"I'm going back." I wanted to say something to blame him, but looking at his face now, I couldn't say a word.

The moment I walked out the door, I heard Xie Dongrong calling my name behind me, "For the frame, let's go and have a look tomorrow."

The next moment, I closed the door.

It was only when I got back to my room that I realized what Xie Dongrong was talking about at the last moment.

It was then that I belatedly remembered the real purpose of my going to his room.

Damn, what an idiot.

Just now, the moment I glanced down, I saw Xie Dongrong's abnormality.

I don't understand why a person can... just... enter the state so quickly?

I buried my face in the pillow, and the pillow became hot in an instant, and it gradually became difficult to breathe...

When Xie Dongrong knocked on the door the next morning, I hadn't even finished washing.

Staring at him standing at the door who was neatly dressed, I suddenly fell into an unreasonable sense of inferiority.

"Wait a minute." Recalling what happened yesterday, I couldn't laugh anymore. I turned around and entered the bathroom with my toothbrush in hand. With a click, I realized that Xie Dongrong entered the room after me.

"Yesterday... I lost my composure." Xie Dongrong, who was standing in front of the mirror and leaning against the door frame, was looking directly at me who was not elegant holding a toothbrush through the reflection, "I can't help it when I always think of your previous appearance... Will."

"Okay, don't stand here, go to the bedroom and wait for me." Pressing my throat, I heard myself say to Xie Dongrong.

After washing my face, staring at myself in the mirror whose facial features were covered with water, I suddenly realized.

I can't stand it.

Xie Dongrong's attraction to me seems to be innate, as long as he is by my side, as long as he uses a little trick, he can make me... different from usual.

Whether he intends to or not.

Therefore, it is still necessary to finish the work here early and return to Nancheng to be truly relieved.

When I walked out the door, Xie Dongrong was sitting in front of my desk, observing the things I put on the corner of the desk.The latest mech work.

"Very powerful." Looking over with a smile, Xie Dongrong, who has learned how to praise others, is a bit dazzling. "You said you wanted to teach me before, so I will come to ask you tomorrow night. Don't refuse, brother."

"...Hmm." I didn't know what expression to make, I just smiled awkwardly, sometimes I really admire Xie Dongrong, in the face of what has happened, he can always deal with it as calmly as if nothing happened.

If only I could be like him.

"What's wrong?" Xie Dongrong walked over as if aware of my abnormality, and the moment he raised his hand, I seemed to feel the warmth of his palm gently caressing my face...

"No." Turning around, he hurriedly distanced himself from him, "I just think we shouldn't be so close..."

"...You are too sensitive." Very helplessly, Xie Dongrong raised one corner of his lips and said.
