I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

After Luo Bai finished writing, Chu Yuzhao was still grading the scriptures, so he went to the bathroom to take a bath by himself.

One must sing when taking a bath alone. A bath without singing must be incomplete and cannot be regarded as a perfect bath.

"Chestnut blossoms are in full swing, pea flowers are in full swing, oh my god, oh my mother, oh my brother, why is your mouth so fragrant..."

Luo Bai leaned back against the rim of the barrel, singing a vulgar little tune heard in the village.Chu Yuzhao listened to the howling ghosts and wolves coming from the bathroom, with his elbows on the table and his fists against his temples, his expression was very complicated.

Luo Bai came out of the shower, went straight to Chu Yuzhao, handed him a dry handkerchief, and sat cross-legged beside him.

After Chu Yuzhao took the handkerchief, he naturally began to twist his wet hair.

Luo Bai's body was still exuding steaming heat, accompanied by the fragrance of bath beans, pouring into Chu Yuzhao's nostrils.He was wearing white pajamas and regular long-sleeved trousers, but the hair around the collar was wet, revealing the fair skin underneath.

This made Chu Yuzhao a little absent-minded and a little irritable. He couldn't control the strength in his hand for a moment, which made Luo Bai start to hiss.

"Brother, take it easy, my scalp is hurting."

After Luo Bai's hair was wrung out, there was still some moisture, so he went to the window to blow dry.It was stuffy in the bathroom just now, but now it is comfortable with the evening breeze.

Chu Yuzhao took out two exquisite wooden boxes from under the desk, took one of them and walked to the window, and handed it to Luo Bai.

Luo Bai looked at the wooden box, and asked with some surprise: "What's in it?" After speaking, he was about to remove the lid.

Chu Yuzhao withdrew his hand to prevent him from revealing it, and said, "Guess first."

"Almond crisp."

"wrong."

"Peach slice cake."

"wrong."

"Rose Cake, Gold and Silver Honey Cake, Cherry Pickled Plum Cake, Crispy Jujube Cake." Luo Bai excitedly announced the names of a bunch of desserts.

Chu Yuzhao asked: "Why do you guess all the pastries?"

"Isn't it pastry?" Luo Bai asked with bright eyes, "Is that candied fruit?"

Chu Yuzhao was silent for a moment and then said, "It's not for food."

Luo Bai's expression faded, and his voice became much softer: "Then it must be some new brush, new paper, and new inkstone?" Then he forced an exaggerated smile: "I like it so much."

"A liar..." Chu Yuzhao was angry and funny, and he didn't want to keep it any longer, and motioned him to take a look.

Luo Bai reached out to remove the lid, the moment the lid was opened, his eyes widened, and he let out a wow of surprise and joy.

The wooden box is covered with a layer of light-colored flannelette, on which is placed a gorgeous small jade crown.The body of the crown is carved from high-quality white jade, and in the center is a blue gem the size of a pigeon egg, like condensed sea water. Under the candlelight, its brilliance flows and is dazzling.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!!" Luo Bai could no longer describe his shock in words, he could only say wow one after another, and each sound was more exciting and louder.

Chu Yuzhao looked at his flushed face with a smile and said, "Take it out and try it on."

"Is it for me? Brother, is it for me?"

"Yes, for you."

Just as Luo Bai wanted to reach out to take it, he retracted his hand into his bosom again. He took small steps with both feet quickly, and made an excited and sharp voice: "Brother take it, brother take it, I'm afraid it will break."

Chu Yuzhao put down the box, took out the jade crown, and put it on Luo Bai's head.

During the whole process, Luo Bai stiffened his neck and didn't move, for fear that it would fall off before it was fastened.When Chu Yuzhao said it was ready, he didn't dare to make a big move, and walked to the bronze mirror like a puppet and started to look at it.

"It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!" Luo Bai happily turned around, pointing at himself in the bronze mirror, "Hey, young master, what are you wearing?"

He changed his tone again: "It's the jade crown my brother gave me."

Then switch seamlessly: "Wow, this jade crown of yours is so beautiful. After wearing this, the number one son in folklore, Chen Yumei, can't compare to one of you in ten."

"Hehe, almost."

Chu Yuzhao walked behind him, held his shoulders, looked down into the bronze mirror, and said with a smile, "Let me see if it's true."

Luo Bai showed him half of the bronze mirror, and he pretended to look at it carefully. Although he had never heard of Chen Wumei, he nodded in a serious manner: "If there is no jade crown, it may not be as good as Chen Wumei, but wearing it If you wear the jade crown, it may be better than that first best young master."

Luo Bai was suddenly a little unhappy for some reason, and looked at him sideways.

Chu Yuzhao didn't care either, and went back to the desk in a good mood, and put the other wooden box back to its original place, but Luo Bai who just turned his head saw it.

"Huh? What's in this box?" Luo Bai asked.

Chu Yuzhao glanced at him and said, "This is not for you."

Luo Bai heard that it was not for himself, and asked curiously: "Who is it for?"

Chu Yuzhao hesitated for a while, but did not answer immediately, which immediately aroused Luo Bai's vigilance.

"Is this for Chen Yumei?"

Chu Yuzhao didn't understand why Chen Wumei was suddenly involved, and was a little dazed for a while, but Luo Bai had already walked over quickly and snatched the box from his hand.

"You were praising that Chen Wumei for his good looks just now, this must be for him." With a sour smell coming from nowhere in Luo Bai's words, he snapped the buckle open.

There was still a jade crown lying in the box, made of sapphire, but inlaid with gemstones of various colors.Those gems are not big, but there are many, colorful and colorful, although they are gaudy, they are extremely gorgeous.

Luo Bai lowered his eyes to look at the blinding little jade crown, took it out again and turned it to illuminate the candle, his eyes slowly turned to Chu Yuzhao.

Chu Yuzhao saw that his expression was wrong, and before he got angry, he immediately said: "I actually made this jade crown for Little White Leopard. It also likes to wear crowns, and also likes colorful things. I will ask the craftsman to make it for you." When I was wearing a crown, I asked him to choose the most beautiful stone and make one for Little White Leopard."

Little white leopard?noob?Luo Bai was a little dazed and thought for a few moments before he came to his senses.

So this little jade crown was also made for me?

But, but when did I say I like colorful things?

But okay, I do like colorful things, and this little jade crown is too pretty.

Both small jade crowns are equally beautiful!

I like!I like it very much!

Chu Yuzhao was already prepared to appease Luo Bai, after all, he was able to snatch away the nest that was made for Xiao Bai last time, so seeing Xiao Yuguan this time, why not make a fuss?But I didn't want Luo Bai to not only not jump up and make a scene after hearing him finish speaking, but also showed a happy and excited expression.

"Wow, this little jade crown is also pretty, is it for Xiaobai? It's very good, it's so pretty, hahaha."

Seeing that he was not jealous, Chu Yuzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

In Chu Yuzhao's eyes, this kind of colorful little jade crown should be liked by the bowerbird, the crow, and Xiaobai. Unexpectedly, Luo Bai couldn't put it down, so I'll make another one for him next time.

Luo Bai took off the sapphire jade crown on his head, put the two crowns together, lay on the desk, looked at them with a smile on his face, and touched them cherishingly, until Chu Yuzhao told him that it was getting late and urged him to go to bed, then put them away. Back to the wooden box.

After Luo Bai went to bed, he would still toss and turn, talking to Chu Yuzhao without a word for a while.Chu Yuzhao would occasionally reply to him, and occasionally closed his eyes and pretended not to hear, or yelled at him not to make any noise, and to sleep quickly.

Luo Bai was a little excited tonight, and forced Chu Yuzhao to talk for a long time before the two fell into a deep sleep.

In the haze, Chu Yuzhao heard the sound of crying. Accompanied by the heart-piercing call, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and found that it was daytime, and he was in a strange forest.

"Brother, brother, don't die, brother..."

There was a person lying motionless on the ground in front of him, covered in blood. A seven or eight-year-old boy, naked, was sitting naked on the ground shaking him, hissing and crying full of panic.

And under a tree not far from them, there was a huge black shadow falling down. Chu Yuzhao found that it was a black bear, and reflexively touched the Fengxue knife on his waist, but he didn't touch anything.

However, he instantly realized that the black bear was dead, with a pool of blood dripping from his body. He looked around, but there was no one else. It was obvious that he had just fought with the two people next to him and was killed.

It was only then that Chu Yuzhao noticed the man lying on the ground. Although his face was covered with blood and he couldn't see clearly, his figure was thin and he hadn't grown up yet. He was only a ten-year-old boy, and he was secretly surprised.

Unexpectedly, these two children alone could kill this heavy black bear.

However, there was a ferocious laceration on the young man's chest, and the sternum beneath it could be vaguely seen. Lying there dying, it was obvious that he was about to die.

Seeing that the swaying boy was still crying hoarsely, Chu Yuzhao couldn't help but want to persuade him to leave quickly. This man is beyond his life, and if any wild things come out of the forest, he will be in trouble. up.

At this moment, the boy raised his head and looked around, as if he was looking for someone to ask for help. After Chu Yuzhao saw the tear-stained face clearly, he couldn't help but startled.

This turned out to be the boy he had often seen in his dreams.

"Anyone? Anyone?"

The boy's voice was already hoarse from crying. He stood up and looked around, his whole body trembling because of despair and fear.He was not wearing anything, and there were a few bloodstains on his back. It was not fatal, but his hands were covered with blood, which should be the blood from the boy.

Chu Yuzhao's heart suddenly constricted, and was gripped by an inexplicable emotion, which seemed to be pity and distress.

He opened his mouth to say don't be afraid, but he couldn't make any sound. He hurried forward a few steps, trying to hold the boy's hand, but the palm passed through his body and only touched the air.

"Brother, brother..." The boy threw himself to the boy's side again, stretched out his hand, and tried in vain to cover the hole in his chest, but blood spilled from his fingers in an instant.

"Brother, don't leave me, brother, brother..."

Chu Yuzhao suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the top of his head and gasping for breath, the faint silhouette of the gauze in the darkness made him realize that it was just a dream.

But there were bursts of stabbing pain in his heart, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the old wound, his fingers quickly retracted as if they were scalded, and curled up slightly.

Luo Bai on the other bed was sleeping soundly, and the sound of snoring had a strange soothing effect, calming down Chu Yuzhao's beating heart.

He stared blankly at the top of the bed, recalling the dream just now, and murmured after a while: "Luo Bai, could that be a part of my lost memory?"

The next day, Luo Bai went back to the palace after school from his master, and excitedly went to look for Chu Yuzhao in the imperial study. As soon as he entered the door, he saw several gray-haired old men sitting inside.

He only knew that Chu Yuzhao was discussing something, so he wanted to leave, but he didn't want Chu Yuzhao to call him back: "Luo Bai, come here."

Luo Bai walked up to Chu Yuzhao, pursed his lips to look at those old men, then leaned into Chu Yuzhao's ear and whispered, "Am I not disturbing you? Can I stay here?"

His voice was very low, but Chu Yuzhao replied with a normal volume: "Don't bother." Then he turned to the old men and said, "All imperial physicians, this is Luo Bai."

"I know, I know, Mr. Luo." An imperial physician said with a smile.

Chu Yuzhao said to Luo Bai: "Go, let some imperial physicians examine you."

"I'm not sick." Luo Bai said in astonishment: "Brother, are you making a mistake? I'm not sick."

Chu Yuzhao said: "I know you are not sick, but let the imperial doctors check your body."

He would only call himself "Zhen" when he was with Luo Bai, and when he saw Luo Bai shrank behind him with his head down, he pulled him out from behind the chair.

"Go." He ordered in a low voice.

Luo Bai had no choice but to go to those few imperial physicians, let them take his pulse, and then got together to discuss, saying some things he didn't understand.He wanted to leave, but Chu Yuzhao didn't give the order. He frowned and listened very seriously, so he obediently sat aside.

After several rounds of discussion, several imperial physicians still failed to come to a conclusion, so they had to say to Chu Yuzhao in shame: "Mr. Luo is all normal, and he doesn't seem to have a disease in his head. I really don't know what to do with my lack of knowledge."

Although Chu Yuzhao's face was not good-looking, he still waved his hands to make them retreat, and soon there were only him and Luo Bai left in the room.

"Brother, are you asking them to look at my brain?" Luo Bai asked suddenly.

Chu Yuzhao didn't make a sound, just looked at him quietly with a pair of deep black eyes.

Luo Bai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he twisted his two fingers, and said in a quick tone: "Actually, I'm still a little stupid, haha, Aunt Yuan Fu said I'm very smart, I know that's just lying to me. It’s fine, um, yes, I’ll be really smart if I’m cured.”

He looked at Chu Yuzhao: "Brother, just treat me, I won't be a fool after I'm cured."

After finishing speaking, he tapped his head with his hand and made two bangs: "This brain, why is this brain not working well? Haha."

He grinned stiffly and gave an inappropriate dry smile, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Just when he was about to continue beating his head, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled it down.

Seeing Chu Yuzhao squatting in front of him, he turned his head and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Chu Yuzhao did not let go, but clenched even tighter.

"Luo Bai, in fact, you are like this, in my eyes it's also very good." Chu Yuzhao said in a low voice, and put his other hand on Luo Bai's cheek, stroking the skin there with his thumb.

"Since it's very good in your eyes, why do you need someone to treat me?" Luo Bai turned his head, his voice was a little weeping.

Chu Yuzhao looked at him intently, and said: "Because in my memory, when you were very young, you were different from now. I can't say whether it is good or not, but I hope you can look at it from another perspective. Look at this world, feel the difference, and hope that you can re-discern what kind of feelings you have for me. I think it is only fair to give you this opportunity."

He stood up, took Luo Bai's head into his arms, and gently patted him on the back: "Luo Bai, no matter what you are, you are the person I cherish the most. Let's take it slowly, take it easy, As long as you feel unhappy, stop immediately, okay?"

Luo Bai slowly wrapped his arms around his waist, and after a while he whispered back: "Okay."

The author has something to say:

The peaceful life of the two is coming to an end, and there will be new waves in the next chapter.
