Zhong Wan had unexpectedly made a fool of himself in front of Yu She. He tried his best to cool himself, closing his eyes, pretending that Yu She wasn’t the one before him. He ground his teeth. “Whose fault is it?”

He could sense Yu She drawing back a hint, not waiting for Zhong Wan to relax. He could hear Yu She’s breathing by his ear. 

With his sight concealed, his hearing became more sensitive. He heard Yu She whisper in his ear, “Blame yourself…”

Every word Yu She said, he hid another. There were some things Young Prince Yu couldn’t say because they were too crude. However, Zhong Wan didn’t need to be taught to know what words Yu She was unable to say.

Blame. Yourself. For. Being. Unrestrained.

Zhong Wan’s face flushed. He opened his eyes. A glance, and he could see the Yu She who was very close to him. And he quickly closed his eyes again. 

As crazy as Yu She was, his appearance compared to that of his youth was even more dazzling. Handsome in a heroic and righteous way. Even when he was crazy, he didn’t seem deranged. On the contrary, it added to his allure. To be stared at by him at such close range, even if there was nothing wrong originally, in the eyes of others, it would still appear like so. He gritted his teeth, spitting out one word at a time, “Can. You. Release. Me. First?”

A while later, Yu She finally loosened his grip.

Zhong Wan turned around. Poured a cup of cold tea. Drank it.

Never had Yu She expected Zhong Wan to be that weak at handling bullying. After breaking from his surprise, he grew calmer than he had been previous. He retreated a few steps, until he was standing in front of the window. Not once did his gaze stray to Zhong Wan. A moment later, he suddenly realized something was strange. 

Yu She turned his head and stared at Zhong Wan with narrowed eyes. “Zhong Wan, does your concubine know you’re interested in men?”

Zhong Wan was dumbstruck. Then he blurted, “What concubine?!”

Coldly, Yu She said, “Kuafu.”

Zhong Wan was rendered speechless. 

All of a sudden, realization struck him.

He took a deep breath. After he had calmed down, he asked, “You’ve inserted spies near me?”

Extremely calm, Yu She said, “Yes.”

Even if he had to die, Zhong Wan still wanted to understand. To clarify why Yu She had captured him and interrogated him. He had lost all face, both inside and out. “Your spies informed you that I want to marry Kuafu?” 

Yu She nodded.

Zhong Wan was furious to the point of nearly being unable to breathe. “And then you believed it?!”

“He has served me for more than ten years,” Yu She said with indifference. “And he was even willing to make an oath of blood.”

Zhong Wan could not utter a word. 

He recalled when Steward Feng had met with him yesterday. And he asked, “Did Steward Feng say something to you?”

These things didn’t need to be hidden. Yu She sat down. He relayed what Steward Feng had said in full detail, from the concubine to the two baskets of eggs.

Once he had heard everything, Zhong Wan leaned against the wall, as if he had lost all vitality.

Yu She frowned. He hadn’t a clue what Zhong Wan was saying, the first half of his words not connecting with the latter half.

Dispirited, Zhong Wan said, “I don’t even have one concubine. If you don’t believe me, then look for her yourself.”

“There isn’t one right now,” Yu She said apathetically. “Is it because she has yet to marry in?” 

Zhong Wan was left with no other choice but to honestly say, “I don’t have any concubine that has yet to marry in either.”

But Yu She still did not believe him. Even so, his expression seemed a bit better than it had previously.

Zhong Wan kept recalling how Yu She had embraced him in his arms before and how he had a slight physical reaction. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to jump into a lake.

At present, his mind was chaotic. He only wanted Yu She to forget what had happened before. He quickly changed the topic of conversation, carelessly asking, “What right do you have to control me?” 

That startled Yu She. And he burst in laughter.

Zhong Wan’s heartbeat grew chaotic again.

The smile vanished from Yu She’s lips. He indifferently said, “Because everyone knows you belong to me.”

This rendered Zhong Wan speechless once more. 

Yu She swept his gaze up and down Zhong Wan’s body. Softly, he said, “Speaking of which… what’s with that appearance of yours before?”

Zhong Wan grumbled in his heart, can’t you refrain from mentioning that?!

“Zhong Wan.” When Yu She recalled what had occurred earlier, the two days’ worth of anger that he had suppressed was extinguished. Calm in the midst of chaos, he stared at Zhong Wan. “Back then… what was the cause of that reaction?”

Tilting his head, Zhong Wan stiffly said, “I haven’t been close to anyone in a long time, so I treated you as a woman.” 

“You’re not that tall. Which family’s daughter can hold you like I do?” Yu She sneered. “Hm? Is there anyone who can hold you like this?”

Zhong Wan did not want to remember at all how he had been trapped in Yu She’s arms. He thought, if anyone dared to do this to me, I would have long since sent them to the King of Hell!

Yu She’s expression changed: he had suddenly thought of something. “Could it be there’s really a Kuafu?”

“No!” Zhong Wan almost collapsed. “Stop mentioning Kuafu.”

Yu She stared at Zhong Wan, ruminating.

After they had reunited, whenever they met, Zhong Wan had always been tense. Yu She often felt he was a little unfamiliar. Yet also familiar.

The present Zhong Wan had changed immensely, but occasionally reminded Yu She of his own younger self.

Today, Zhong Wan had gone through extreme highs and lows, and his temperament seemed like a child’s at the moment. 

“Then speak honestly.” Yu She knocked on the table, still continuing with the previous line of conversation. “Just now, why were you like that?”

Zhong Wan absolutely did not want to remember what had happened earlier. He only wanted to find a hole to hide in.

In a good mood, Yu She suggested, “If you can’t remember, we can try again.”

“No!” Zhong Wan could not handle such provocation. After some hesitation, he abandoned himself to despair. “Because… Because…” 

Yu She’s gaze proved deep. “Is it because of me or what I said?”

Zhong Wan tried to find the lesser of two evils. And at rapid speed, he said, “Because of what you said.”

Low laughter escaped Yu She’s lips.

“What?” He stared at Zhong Wan, asking in a low voice, “You really want to birth a child for me?” 

And Zhong Wan’s face turned scarlet. He strived his best to keep calm. Whispered, “Young Prince Yu… Please conduct yourself with dignity.”

“You were the one who wasn’t conducting yourself properly first.” Yu She rose to his feet. He said in a careless manner, “Young Princess Consort Yu.”

Zhong Wan sat there, dumbstruck.

He knew full well that Yu She was merely speaking without thought. He calmed his heart and pretended not to have heard it. 

“It’d be best if it were a misunderstanding.” Yu She picked up his cloak. Approached Zhong Wan. He stopped two chi away from him, and staring into Zhong Wan’s eyes, he impassively said, “If you use the excuse of ‘taking a concubine’ to lure me here, then I will truly test and see if you can actually give birth.”

Zhong Wan closed his eyes, chanting the Clear Heart mantra in his thoughts.

Yu She turned around. Opened the door.

The guards of Yu She filled Zhong Wan’s little courtyard. All the servants of Prince Qian An’s estate made sure their gazes didn’t stray. 

Yu She stood at the doorway and stared at the outside expressionlessly. He took his time putting on his cloak.

Zhong Wan covered his face with his hands, not looking. Even if he were using his legs instead of brain to think, he would know what the servants thought when they saw Yu She straightening his clothes.

Yu She lifted his hand and rubbed his shoulder. And he led his men out.

A long while later, Yan Pingshan carefully pushed open the door. Tilting his head, he stared at Zhong Wan. 

Zhong Wan sat on top of his bed. He lifted his head and looked at Yan Pingshan. Frustrated to the extreme, he said, “Why did you send him red eggs?!”

Yan Pingshan froze. Then he innocently said, “Didn’t you say it yourself? To use your name to send the most famous product of Prince Qian An’s estate? You already drank more than half of the tea leaves we brought, and the alcohol had already been used to cook with. We only had more than ten egg-laying hens. I was afraid it would lose face for you, so I did not directly send the chickens. Then—”

“Enough, enough,” said Zhong Wan, Yan Pingshan’s words giving him a headache.

He did his utmost to suppress the blush on his cheeks, did his utmost to appear like he had previously. “Suppress the news. Don’t let anyone know he came here earlier.” 

“I’m afraid that cannot be done,” said Yan Pingshan, unable to bear it. “Never had I expected that Young Prince Yu would bring so many people, and even sealed off the road to our estate. The roads ahead, behind, to our left and right have all been blocked off. The guards of Prince Yu’s estate took strict precautions and guarded the streets to their best ability. It scared the noble personages that paid a visit to His Highness’ sick bed so much, they were too afraid to leave. Only after Young Prince Yu had left did they come out of the inner courtyard…”

Zhong Wan felt like dying… Wasn’t that great now? Whether the news of Xuan Rui being sick to the point of near death could spread was anyone’s guess. However, that Young Prince Yu forcibly charged into his courtyard and locked the door, leaving the two alone in the room, definitely would spread like wildfire all through the capital.

A few days later, most of Jiangnan and Jiangbei learned of this news.

Once those authors of storybooks heard of this, they were rolling in excitement. 

After they had finished writing their novels, and the stories entered the capital, Yu She would probably have a great time again.

In any case, he was the only one out of luck.

In others’ eyes, he had defended his virginity for many years with great difficulty. Just like that, it was gone.

Yan Pingshan turned his head, glancing at Zhong Wan. He wanted to ask what Yu She had done to him in the room just now, but also felt like these matters should not be pried on. 

Without looking, Zhong Wan knew what was going through his head. And his headache grew.

Yan Pingshan feared that Zhong Wan ate a loss but was unable to say it. Furthermore, he feared Zhong Wan received a hidden injury that could not be mentioned. He hesitated for a long time, before choking out one phrase: “Do you want hot water?”

Again, Zhong Wan felt like dying. What do I need hot water for? To wash my wrists that have been dirtied by Yu She’s grasp?

Yan Pingshan’s gaze was evasive. He felt he had said something he should not have said, tactfully shutting up. 

A stretch of silence. The fire in Zhong Wan’s heart had been extinguished completely. He wholeheartedly said, “Just ask. Only after you ask me can I explain clearly. I don’t know how many spies there are in our estate. I’ll borrow their mouths to prove my innocence.”

Afraid that he would hurt Zhong Wan, Yan Pingshan quickly shook his head, his face reflecting his intention to keep everything secret.

Enraged, Zhong Wan shouted, “Ask!”

Yan Pingshan pushed himself way beyond his ability and forced himself to say, “Are you…?” 

Zhong Wan took a deep breath. Voice powerful and resonating, he said, “Listen carefully. I am still a virgin.”
