I pretend to be affectionate in front of my foe

Yan Yun saw Chen Mo's tightly frowning brows and the corners of his mouth pursed into a line, and glimpsed the real thoughts behind Chen Mo's composure.

He thought that Chen Mo would not be able to accept it because he fell in love with a man, so Yan Yun hurriedly said: "I know that if I tell you now, you will definitely not be able to accept it, so I kept silent."

Sure enough, Chen Mo still didn't speak, he just stared at Yan Yun silently.

Yan Yun was helpless, scratching his head not knowing what to do.

He had been hesitant to tell Chen Mo about him and Xiao Yiran, because he felt that Chen Mo's temper would not be acceptable.

Now, seeing Chen Mo's reaction like this, Yan Yun felt that it was a bit reckless for him to speak the truth suddenly.

He was thinking about how to make the atmosphere less awkward, but Chen Mo suddenly picked up the pen again, as if he was about to write something.

Yan Yun's uneasy heart became even more disturbed. He watched Chen Mo's every move, and was very afraid of seeing Chen Mo's expression of disgust.

Yan Yun kept staring, not daring to relax.

Chen Mo wrote quickly with a pen, and after a while, a line of words appeared on the paper: "Why can't that person be me, but him?"

Yan Yun tried his best to see clearly, because he was separated by a table, so he couldn't see what Chen Mo wrote on the paper.

When Yan Yun was secretly anxious, Chen Mo suddenly stopped writing, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Yun, which made Yan Yun inexplicably more guilty.

Yan Yun thought he was going to stare at him to express his dissatisfaction.But Chen Mo just looked at it lightly for a few times, then bowed his head and went to write again.

The anxious Yan Yun was like a frightened quail, obediently observing Chen Mo's actions, for fear of accidentally offending others.

He watched as Chen Mo tore off the paper he had written before, found it in a ball and threw it into the river next to him, and changed to another blank paper to start writing again.

"As long as you wish." After thinking for a long time, Chen Mo wrote these words.

When Yan Yun saw this sentence, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Chen Mo still seemed not very interested, even a little angry, but at least he could accept it.

This made Yan Yun finally let go of the big stone in his heart. He gave Chen Mo a grateful smile, but Chen Mo lowered his head awkwardly and started writing again.

"Go to rest early, and the bloodletting will be done tomorrow." After Chen Mo wrote this sentence, he put down the pen and paper, looked up at Yan Yun, and cast an unskilled smile.

Knowing that Chen Mo agreed to himself, Yan Yun held the paper and breathed a sigh of relief, and did not forget to make a face for Chen Mo.

Seeing that Yan Yun had returned to this heartless look, Chen Mo smiled helplessly, and he turned around to leave, but before he could move his legs, Yan Yun rushed over and put his arms around his shoulders, looking like a brother. The two look good, walking and laughing with Chen Mo.

"I thought you were really angry with me." Yan Yun didn't notice the unnatural expression on Chen Mo's face, and continued: "I'll take you around the palace, and then let the imperial dining room cook you something to eat."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care whether Chen Mo answered or not, he hugged him with a playful smile and left.

Chen Mo's stiff body gradually relaxed, he restrained the urge to peek at Yan Yun, and sighed almost inaudibly.

After Li Qiwu and Yan Yun separated, they went straight to find Xiao Yiran.

When he found Xiao Yiran, Xiao Yiran was still sitting in the study. He lowered his head and stared at the table. There were a pile of official documents on the table.

As soon as Li Qiwu opened the door and went in, he was blinded by the dazzling light in the room. He covered his eyes with his hand, walked towards Xiao Yiran and said, "It's sunny, what are you doing with so many candles?"

"What time is it?" Hearing this, Xiao Yiran paused for a moment, as if he was recalling what Li Qiwu said, and after a while he said: "Isn't it still dawn?"

"It's already noon." Li Qi sat beside Xiao Yiran in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Are you kidding me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran was stunned suddenly, he immediately stood up and blew out the extra candles, and asked again: "Why is it still dark at noon?"

Hearing this, Li Qiwu suddenly realized something, he immediately walked to Xiao Yiran, dragged him to the window, pointed at the dazzling sunlight outside the window and said, "Did you see that?"

Xiao Yiran looked around in confusion: "What did you see? You blew out the last candle?"

Li Qiwu grabbed Xiao Yiran's hand and forced him to turn around and face him, "Can you see me?"

"It's too dark in the room, light the candles."

Xiao Yiran said that he was about to leave to light candles, but was stopped by Li Qiwu: "It's already noon, the weather outside is fine, there is no need to light candles at all."

"Oh." Xiao Yiran said numbly, sat down gropingly, and then was in a daze without saying a word.

Li Qi sat down next to him without wanting to speak. He was thinking about how to speak tactfully, but Xiao Yiran spoke first: "Qi Wu, am I blind?"

Li Qi talked all the time, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yiran's out-of-focus eyes, thinking about how to answer him calmly.

At the moment when he was hesitating, Xiao Yiran groped the table and knocked off the inkstone, the spilled ink splashed on the soft carpet without making any sound.

It's just that a few drops of ink stained Xiao Yiran's fingers, the cold touch made Xiao Yiran suddenly stunned, he stopped moving but sighed softly: "This day is still here."

He stared blankly at the front of the table, his back straightened, showing a kind of declining pride just like the begonias with fallen flowers and branches outside the window.

Li Qi looked left and right, and suddenly felt speechless. It seemed that no matter what he said now, it would be a kind of harm to Xiao Yiran.

Just for a moment, Xiao Yiran seemed to suddenly look away. He looked the same as usual, and even his every move was calmer than usual, as if he had gradually accepted the fact that he was blind.

"How long do I have?" Xiao Yiran suddenly asked.

Only then did Li Qiwu remember the purpose of his trip, and he immediately said, "I came here to tell you that your poison is cured."

Hearing this, Xiao Yiran's expression suddenly changed, his expression looked extremely serious: "Did you tell him?"

"No." Li Qi added guiltlessly: "You said you couldn't let him know, so naturally I wouldn't say that, and besides, I don't want to kill off any children or grandchildren."

Xiao Yiran remained silent, he stared blankly at the nothingness, wondering what he was thinking: "I can't let him know about my recent state."

Li Qi had no choice. He was not pleasing to both sides but he was also worried about Xiao Yiran's body, so he could only open his eyes and talk nonsense: "Don't worry, of course I will keep it a secret for you."

In order to avoid Xiao Yiran asking again, Li Qiwu immediately changed the subject: "Tomorrow I will detoxify you, and today you can rest well, and leave the court affairs to your uncle for the time being."

Xiao Yiran was noncommittal, the whole person became silent, his dark eyes lost their energy and became dull.

"Will the detoxification process be painful?" Xiao Yiran asked without warning.

Li Qiwu was asked such a question, but he didn't react for a while. In his opinion, Xiao Yiran was not a person who is afraid of pain at all. He asked suspiciously, "Are you afraid of pain?"

"Of course flesh and blood would be afraid." Xiao Yiran smiled wryly, "But I'm not afraid of pain, I'm just afraid that I won't be able to wake up again."

"After all, there are still people waiting for me." Xiao Yiran almost said these words to himself, and Li Qi did not fail to hear them.

"You also know that your poison has already spread all over your body, and it will definitely be dangerous to detoxify." Li Qiwu thought that he was really scared, so he tried to speak tactfully, trying to calm his anxiety.

Xiao Yiran didn't have any special reaction after hearing this, but turned his head and said eagerly: "Qi Wu, can you do me a favor?"

"What?" Li Qiwu hurriedly straightened the candlestick that was knocked down by Xiao Yiran, thinking it was something urgent: "Just tell me, I will do my best to help you if I can."

"Write a letter with me." Xiao Yiran supported Li Qiwu with one hand, and started looking for a pen on the table with the other hand: "I want to report Yan Yun's safety."

Hearing this, Li Qi subconsciously wanted to tell Xiao Yiran the truth, but he swallowed the words before he could utter them.

He pretended not to know and found a pen and paper for Xiao Yiran and asked, "What do you want to write, you dictate and I write it."

"No." Xiao Yiran stretched out his hand, motioning Li Qiwu to give him the pen and paper: "I want to write it myself."
