Chapter 118.2

For a moment he was speechless.

With this circle of people watching behind them, Lin Yu and Yue Gui, who were relaxed not long ago, straightened their bodies and sat upright, with nervousness written all over their faces.

Wen Chi felt the tense atmosphere, so he only drank half a cup of tea, then said he had something to do and left.

Lin Yu and Yue Gui watched as Wen Chi led the large army and disappeared from sight and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yu said, “Finally he’s gone.”

Yue Gui said, “Yes,finally.”

Lin Yu glanced at Yue Gui: “We’ve been sitting here for more than an hour, shall we go back?”

Yue Gui asked, “Do you have so many servants in your courtyard to serve you?”

Lin Yu: “No…”

Yue Gui: “Do you have hot meals waiting for you in your courtyard?”

Lin Yu: “…”

Yue Gui: “Is there any Royal Highness waiting for you in your courtyard?”

Lin Yu cried and shook his head: “No no no no!”

“So what are we going to do when we go back?” Yue Gui said mercilessly, “Talk to the empty space?”

Lin Yu choked out a sad sob and picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Let’s eat.” Yue Gui knew that he had just said too much and felt a little regretful. He stretched out his hand and pushed the plate on the side of the chessboard to Lin Yu comfortingly, “There are still free snacks here. You won’t even have much snacks when you go back.”

　”…”

After being comforted, Lin Yu howled even more sadly. He finally understood why after a period of time, he and Yue Gui, who were originally incompatible, suddenly became close.

Because both of them were the same person from the ends of the earth1(Being the same person from the ends of the earth is a Chinese idiom, which means that everyone is a person who has had unfortunate experiences, and they are both people who are living in exile or have similar experiences with each other. From Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi’s “Pipa Xing”. Everyone has had unfortunate experiences)!

When Wen Chi came outside Shi Ye’s study, Shi Ye was receiving other people.

Eunuch Zhu stood guard outside the study and after Wen Chi explained his intentions, he led Wen Chi into the study.

Wen Chi saw a few people standing in front of Shi Ye’s desk from a distance.

Except for the two brothers Liu De and Liu Shan standing on the far side, the rest are people Wen Chi neither knows nor has seen but based on the identities of Liu De and Liu Shan, it is not difficult to guess who they should be, Shi Ye’s confidantes.

After hearing the footsteps of Eunuch Zhu and Wen Chi walking in, several people including Liu De and Liu Shan stopped talking and turned their heads to look at them in unison.

Eunuch Zhu has long been used to this kind of scene. He waved the whisk in his hand without changing his face, lowered his head and said to Shi Ye who was behind the desk: “Your Highness, Young Master Wen is here.”

Wen Chi, who was not used to it, was startled by the people’s gaze.

Before his brain could react, his body froze in place with a guilty conscience.

Suddenly becoming the focus of everyone’s attention, Wen Chi was so nervous that he got goosebumps all over his body. He quietly took two steps back and said in a negotiating tone: “Eunuch Zhu, can …… I wait outside or not?”

Eunuch Zhu turned his back on him and did not dare to turn around.

Soon, a cold voice broke the silence: “Come here.”

It was Shi Ye.

Wen Chi looked up and saw Shi Ye behind the desk was dressed in white with a blue-gray jacket draped over him. His black hair was casually tied up, his pale face was full of fatigue, but it was set off by his delicate eyebrows.

Seeing Wen Chi’s dumbfounded expression, Shi Ye couldn’t help laughing. He hooked the corners of his mouth and beckoned to Wen Chi as before, like calling a puppy: “Come here, Wen Chi.”

Wen Chi seldom heard Shi Ye call his name. As far as he could remember, Shi Ye rarely addressed him, usually dropping the subject directly and saying the predicate and object afterwards.

But it had to be said that Shi Ye’s voice was really nice, a little husky and low, especially when he was pronouncing his name, it had an indescribable sensuality to it.

Wen Chi felt his heart pounding, it was fine a moment before, but now it was like he was carrying a rabbit in his chest.

Holding the lively rabbit in his chest, he squeezed the invitation tightly in his hand, and walked quickly towards Shi Ye.

But in front of so many people, he didn’t dare to get too close to Shi Ye and stopped when he was two or three steps away from him.

Wen Chi said: “Greeting to Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Shi Ye burst out laughing, pressed his fist to his lips and a hoarse laugh came out of his chest. He lowered his head and laughed in a low voice for a long time before looking at Wen Chi: “You were calling me by my name before, why don’t you dare to do so now?”

Wen Chi: “…”

What other reason could there be?

Wasn’t it because he wimped out in front of his many confidantes.

Wen Chi, who was very cowardly in his heart, looked even more cowardly on the surface, he hurriedly said: “I wouldn’t dare.”

“Why don’t you dare?” Shi Ye said, “Come here.”

Wen Chi hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward cautiously.

Shi Ye frowned: “Come closer.”

Wen Chi took another step forward.

Shi Ye was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and grabbed Wen Chi’s wrist and then pulled him into his arms.

Wen Chi was caught off guard and before he even had time to stand still, he staggered two or three steps and then sat down on Shi Ye’s lap.

Wen Chi raised his head to meet the complicated and surprised eyes of Liu De, Liu Shan and others, and his whole face turned red like a monkey’s butt. He wanted to stand up as if his ass was on fire but Shi Ye pressed him tightly against him. He hugged him from behind, putting his hands under his arms and wrapping it around his waist.

Wen Chi blushed and did not dare to move.

Shi Ye acted as if nothing had happened. He rested his chin on Wen Chi’s right shoulder with ease, took the invitation in Wen Chi’s hand and opened it: “You came here for this?”

Wen Chi’s eyes drifted from side to side, finally landing on the obscure cowhide maps spread out on the desk, and the piles of invitation written in small print.

He was surprised and for a moment he was too embarrassed to answer Shi Ye’s question.

He felt that this scene was very similar to the parents of national leaders who are holding an international video conference being interrupted by their own children, asking about kindergarten homework on how much one plus one equals to.

There is no doubt that Shi Ye is that parent and he is that kindergarten kid.
