Under the influence of alcohol, Yu Tang thought he was just having a dream.
Since it was a dream, he couldn't help but tell Xiao Lin everything he wanted to say.
Time seemed to stand still.
Xiao Lin stared blankly at the man in front of him.
I watched it for a long time.
The jealousy and anger from before seemed so insignificant at this moment.
He pursed his lips, biting his lower lip, but still couldn't suppress the surging emotions.
I wanted to laugh, but my eyes were sore.
"General..." He held Yu Tang's face, his voice a little hoarse, "Do you know that you've fallen for me?"
"Like... like?" Yu Tang still looked confused. "What does 'like' mean?"
Xiao Lin smiled helplessly, pulled the man into his arms, buried his head in Yu Tang's shoulder, and sighed softly.
"My foolish general, what am I supposed to do with you..."
After placing the drunken man into bed, Xiao Lin took off his clothes, lay down, and put his arms around Yu Tang's waist. He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the man's words, which could be described as a confession, and his incredibly cute expression.
But then something occurred to him, and his joy faded somewhat.
Although he said he didn't care who Wei Yuan was, it was the first time he had heard this unfamiliar name from Yu Tang.
Xiao Lin still felt uncomfortable.
Wei Yuan...
If I find out who it is, I will definitely not let you off easily.
Concealing the fierce glint in his eyes, Xiao Lin propped himself up, leaned close to Yu Tang's face, and kissed him.
I stepped back, closed my eyes, and prepared to go to sleep.
The room was quiet, the only light coming from the moonlight streaming through the window.
Time passed second by second, and Xiao Lin finally couldn't help but open his eyes.
He leaned in again and kissed Yu Tang.
Then, close your eyes again...
Open your eyes again...
Close your eyes again...
Open your eyes again...
After stealing kisses from Yu Tang more than ten times, Xiao Lin sat up, looked down at himself, and smiled bitterly, rubbing his forehead.
Sure enough, the moment he encountered this man, all his self-control vanished, and his thirst for him left him feeling helpless.
The first thing Yu Tang felt when he opened his eyes the next day was a headache.
He tried hard to recall what had happened last night, but couldn't remember a single thing.
All I remember are things that happened before I got drunk.
Clearly, he has experienced blackouts and amnesia.
Oh dear, I really shouldn't have drunk so much.
After mentally berating himself, Yu Tang moved his hand and touched the delicate, warm skin. His eyes widened instantly as he realized something was wrong!
He turned his head to look and saw Xiao Lin's magnified face, then realized that he was holding Xiao Lin tightly in his arms.
His hand went directly inside Xiao Lin's clothes and gripped the other's waist without any obstruction.
Yu Tang was shocked and quickly pulled his hand away, startling the person in his arms.
Xiao Lin, who had been pretending to be asleep even though he had been awake for a while, opened his eyes, looking like he was still half asleep, and propped himself up.
The inner garment slipped from the shoulders to the elbows, revealing large patches of pale skin, with three or four red marks on the neck, an ambiguous and glaring sight.
"General? You're awake?" Xiao Lin approached Yu Tang, placing his fingers on his chest, and asked, "Do you remember what you did to me last night?"
Yu Tang was forced to lean against the bed railing, looking at the boy in front of him, his mind buzzing.
He stammered, "I...I...I don't remember..."
Xiao Lin pursed his lips, his expression somewhat forlorn.
"Last night, after you got drunk, you hugged me and said you liked me when I was bad, and that you didn't want me to disappear. You also apologized for the harsh things you said before and asked me to forgive you."
His expression turned shy, his face slightly flushed: "Then you couldn't help yourself and hugged me, kissed me, and pulled me into this room, pinning me to the bed..."
He paused, pointed to the marks on his neck, and said, "These were all left by the general."
He smiled and said, "I only found out last night that the general isn't completely indifferent to me..."
"This means that we are now mutually in love."
Xiao Lin took Yu Tang's hand and placed it beside his face, saying, "So, General..."
Let's be together.
Chapter 22
He died for the villain for the fourth time (22)
Yu Tang stared blankly at Xiao Lin.
These words sent chills down my spine and made me sweat.
He frantically screamed in his head at the system: "Everyone! Come out now!"
He asked: Tell me, is Xiao Lin lying to me again?
"Coming, coming!" The system had just woken up as well. Hearing Yu Tang's words, it paused for half a second: [Host, unfortunately, most of what he said is true...]
Yu Tang: ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
Yu Tang: Are you kidding me?
"Oh, I would never joke about something like that!"
The system complained: "Yesterday you really talked a lot of nonsense, the main point being your repentance towards Xiao Lin."
[You said you didn't want his bad personality to disappear. You also said you wanted to apologize to him for the harsh words you said before, and that you didn't accept his feelings because you were afraid he would be heartbroken if you died.]
The system exclaimed: "Tell me, to anyone, doesn't this sound like a confession?"
Yu Tang:
Yu Tang's momentum instantly weakened, and he asked: "Then... were those marks on his body really done by me?"
"I don't know about that."
The system says: "Whenever you two engage in overly intimate behavior, I will be blocked and won't be able to see anything."
System update: [But he definitely kissed you secretly, I can vouch for that.]
"General?" Xiao Lin grasped Yu Tang's hand, touching the marks on his neck, his eyes darkening slightly. "Could it be that you dare to do it but not admit it? After doing these things to me, you don't want to take responsibility anymore?"
Yu Tang snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head: "No, no, Your Highness, how could I dare to deny it? Oh, wait!"
Realizing he had misspoke, Yu Tang was about to correct himself when Xiao Lin cut him off, saying, "It's good that the general acknowledges it."
"From now on, I will respect the general's wishes and will not touch you without your consent."
Therefore, I hope the general will no longer conceal his feelings for me and will be honest with me as soon as possible.
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "And there's something else you're worried about, General: that I'll be heartbroken after I die."
“I can assure you,” Xiao Lin said solemnly, “I will never let you go before me.”
"I will stand with the general through thick and thin, never abandoning him."
Yu Tang was stunned.
His slightly cool hand was held by Xiao Lin's dry, warm hand, with a firm but not too tight grip, giving him no chance to break free.
Along with the emotion, a heavy pain also came to my heart.
He really wanted to tell Xiao Lin that the plot was not something he could control.
And I, too, have to leave.
But right now, he can't bring himself to say such hurtful things.
He could only nod and comply with Xiao Lin's wishes.
After getting up, Yu Tang tied up Xiao Lin's hair. Xiao Lin handed him the wooden hairpin and said softly, "General, you don't need to feel guilty."
"The bad part of me hasn't disappeared; I've always been here."
"That medicine only made the two of us merge."
"Only after merging can I be the complete me, and only then can I better work with the general to fulfill our common aspirations."
Yu Tang paused, holding the hairpin. The lingering guilt she felt earlier had lessened considerably because of Xiao Lin's words.
He knew Xiao Lin wasn't lying.
After all, the way this kid coerced and tempted him, setting him up, was practically a carbon copy of Xiao Lin from back then.
It's highly likely that this kid gained the upper hand during the fusion process, and his obedient demeanor later was just an act to avoid being disliked by the other guy.
Having figured out the twists and turns, Yu Tang was at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Xiao Lin, having grown up in the deep palace, truly had him completely ensnared by his schemes, leaving him no way to escape.
But now... he doesn't really want to run anymore.
Life is short, so seize the day.
We'll take it one step at a time, as long as Xiao Lin is happy.
After they established their relationship, Xiao Lin kept his word and never misbehaved towards him again.
But the habit of sleeping together has been restored.
