After all, Xiao Lin's appearance and innate temperament are impeccable no matter where he is.
Moreover, their current actions are so ambiguous, with the other person's hair disheveled and her smiling at him.
He's an absolutely stunning male enchantress!
But as Yu Tang stared into the other person's captivating eyes, he instantly calmed down.
He asked the system: "System, what is Xiao Lin's favorability rating?"
"Fifty?"
The system wondered: [Only fifty? His attitude clearly makes it seem like he likes you, wants to kiss and hug you, and make love to you. How can it only be fifty?]
Yu Tang: I knew it.
Yu Tang: This is his extreme personality.
Yes! That's possible!
The system snapped back to reality: [Host, I suspect he's just putting on an act! He's trying to seduce you! He has an ambiguous relationship with you! And then he'll use you to achieve his goals!]
System update: [That's how it's written in novels!]
That's terrible!
Yu Tang: Yes, I think so too.
Yu Tang: That cute little personality isn't that outgoing.
With this in mind, Yu Tang felt more confident.
Since the other party wanted to mess with him and put on an acting showdown, he might as well indulge his acting passion.
“Your Highness…” He reached out, grasped Xiao Lin’s wrist, and with a forceful pull, instantly reversed their positions.
With her hands resting above Xiao Lin, she smiled and asked him, "If I said you were qualified, would you willingly submit to me?"
A hand gently stroked the boy's ear, then moved upwards, tracing the contours of Xiao Lin's face, caressing him intimately.
It uses a technique that makes people blush and their hearts race.
Xiao Lin was stunned.
He stared blankly at the man supporting his head.
His brown eyes were bright, as if you could see into his soul.
The warmth and pressure of the fingers travel through the skin to the heart.
Xiao Lin felt hot.
It's hot everywhere.
As if possessed, he uncontrollably answered Yu Tang, "If I said I would..."
"Haha, just kidding." Yu Tang interrupted him in time, his large hand landing on Xiao Lin's head, ruffling the boy's hair: "Your Highness, please don't take it seriously. I'm not bold enough to lay a hand on you."
He rolled over to the side of the bed, distancing himself from Xiao Lin: "I never think about love and romance. Because at this stage, the battle situation in North Nine City doesn't allow me to have such thoughts."
"After all, they are people who could lose their lives at any moment."
If you find someone you like and get together with them, wouldn't you be ruining their life?
"Only when you have no worries can you leave in peace and without regrets."
Yu Tang spoke lightly, but Xiao Lin's heart sank.
He eventually calmed down.
And he felt annoyed at his earlier loss of composure.
He intended to set a trap for Yu Tang, but ended up almost falling into it himself.
If you had actually agreed just now, it would be difficult to salvage the situation now.
He composed himself and asked Yu Tang, "Why are you so sure you're going to lose your life, General?"
"Besides, having someone you like and someone you care about will strengthen your will to survive, and that might just save your life on the battlefield."
Despite saying that, what Xiao Lin actually despises most is this kind of love that makes people lose their minds.
If his mother hadn't been deceived by Emperor Xiao Sheng's sweet words, she wouldn't have met such a tragic end.
He still remembered that when she was in the cold palace, the woman, who had gone mad, kept hurting herself with shards of porcelain, her body covered in blood, and she lay on the ground crying.
She said she had misplaced her trust in a man, which harmed her family.
He never forgave himself until his death.
Xiao Lin despised love and didn't believe in it, yet he knew it was the most despicable weapon.
That's why he wanted to set a trap for Yu Tang, to make him control him.
Unexpectedly, she was outmaneuvered by this seemingly simple-minded man and almost led by the nose.
Yu Tang recalled the methods of death the system had told him about, and couldn't help but touch his neck, shaking his head: "Maybe..."
"But sometimes, you can't just live if you want to."
Xiao Lin frowned; he inexplicably disliked Yu Tang saying such things.
"General Yu..." he said, "Although the battlefield is unpredictable and the future is uncertain, I wish you success in every battle, turning danger into safety and returning in triumph."
At the same time, the system notified: [Host, Xiao Lin's favorability +5, current favorability 55. Wow, this is the first time in so long that the favorability has increased!]
Yu Tang paused, his heart stirred slightly.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Lin, only to see the boy's back, which was facing him and looked rather thin.
Without seeing their expression, you can't guess what they're feeling.
But Yu Tang felt that Xiao Lin was genuinely wishing him well at that moment.
He pulled the blanket up and chuckled, "Then I'll take your kind words, Your Highness."
After that little incident that night, Yu Tang gradually noticed that Xiao Lin's attitude towards him had changed.
Although his affection level hasn't increased, he's become much more genuine in our daily interactions.
It no longer has that feeling of a smile hiding a knife.
But correspondingly, there are also troubles.
It's just that Xiao Lin has become... well, too willing to get close to him.
As if testing something, Xiao Lin would suddenly lean close to him from time to time and ask, "If the general changes his mind in the future and is willing to find someone to care about, could he look for someone according to my standards?"
Before Yu Tang could answer, he would add, "After all, I think that person wouldn't be worthy of the general if he didn't have my looks."
Yu Tang's lips twitched.
He thought to himself, with Xiao Lin's looks, there isn't a single man or woman in the entire North who is better looking than him.
If I listened to what he said, wouldn't I be destined to be a bachelor for the rest of my life?
Then, when they went to sleep at night, Xiao Lin would pretend to be nonchalant and move closer to him, until Yu Tang was forced to the edge of the bed and had nowhere left to retreat before he closed his eyes and went to sleep next to him.
He slept soundly, but poor Yu Tang suffered.
I was on edge all night, afraid I'd fall off the bed and get a bruised and battered face.
After a few days of this, Yu Tang tried to offer his opinion: "Your Highness, lately when you sleep at night, could you please not..."
Before he could finish saying "squeeze me," Xiao Lin interrupted him, "That's exactly what I was about to say."
“I’ve been sleeping poorly lately, and it seems to be affecting you.”
Xiao Lin seemed to ponder for a moment, then looked up at him and smiled: "So I think you can install a railing by the bed in the future, and then we can switch places to sleep."
"You sleep inside, and I'll sleep outside, so you won't have to worry about falling out of bed."
Yu Tang felt this suggestion was inappropriate and retorted, "Actually, Your Highness, I recently had a new bed made that can be placed in the room. This way, I can both protect your safety and not be disturbed by your sleeping posture, achieving two goals at once."
Xiao Lin suddenly narrowed his eyes, tightened his grip on the chess piece, and actually cracked it.
He asked, "Is the general afraid?"
Yu Tang looked completely bewildered: "Scared? What am I scared of?"
Xiao Lin lowered his eyes, placed the chess piece on the chessboard, and looked up to give Yu Tang an answer.
"Afraid of falling for me."
Yu Tang: ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
Chapter 10
He died for the villain for the fourth time (10)
"Hahaha! Xiao Lin is definitely the most narcissistic villain I've ever seen!"
The system burst out laughing in Yu Tang's mind: [Host, he's too funny!]
Yu Tang was also speechless.
For a moment, I didn't know how to respond.
"Looks like I was right." With just one move, Xiao Lin blocked Yu Tang's escape route. He looked at Yu Tang with a smile: "General, you say you dare not have any feelings for me, but behind my back you're probably still thinking about how to make me submit to you, aren't you?"
Yu Tang: ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
He quickly explained, "Your Highness, I really didn't think that!"
"I was really just joking that day!"
"If you can say those things, then you have those thoughts in your heart."
Xiao Lin had Yu Tang completely under his control, staring straight at him with his peach blossom eyes.
"After all, if you had nothing to hide, why would you be afraid to sleep in the same bed as me?"
"I……"
Good heavens! So that's where he was waiting!
Yu Tang's head was spinning from Xiao Lin's words.
