Shengjing Noble

Chapter 425 Long Yang's Habit

"Then...what if?"

She was like a kitten, quietly reaching out her hand and shaking his sleeve, her eyes gleaming with tenderness, as if asking for his forgiveness.

Fu Wuyang was angry, not only because she acted on her own, but more importantly, she ignored the danger and consequences.

If something really happened, he didn't dare to think how serious it would be.

"If you had said earlier that you were not afraid of death, I would have thrown you into the woods to fend for yourself from the beginning. Why would I have gone to the trouble of bringing you in?" he said angrily.

Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, Su Lanyin had no choice but to admit her mistake.

"Who said I'm not afraid of death? I'm just worried about my brother's safety. Your Majesty... I'm sorry, next time I will definitely ask you first..."

"Next time? Do you still want a next time?"

"No, no! There won't be a next time..."

"Humph, I can't control you. Don't come to me for help with this kind of thing in the future."

"Oh, don't be angry. I came back safely, didn't I? Besides, when I arrived, my eldest brother was cornered by a tiger. I can't imagine what the consequences would be if I hadn't shown up."

Thinking about it now, she still feels scared. Su Shengyan was just a little bit away from jumping off the cliff and being smashed to pieces.

After shooting the tiger, she ran over to check. The height below was not the one she and Fu Wuyang had jumped over before, but a bottomless abyss.

If Su Shengyan didn't jump down, he would be torn to pieces by the tiger.

Fu Wuyang had nothing to say about this. After all, no one expected that someone would kill the little tiger and then put the blame on Su Shengyan.

"By the way, my people have found the little tiger's body, but unfortunately it was thrown in the wilderness. As for who did it, there is no way to find out."

"Since they have decided to do this, they will definitely not leave any evidence behind. This time, we can only give up."

"Having offended the An family, I'm afraid I'll have to be more careful in the future."

"By the way, I'd like to invite His Majesty to watch a good show tonight."

"What drama?"

"You'll find out tonight."

Looking at Su Lanyin's mysterious appearance, Fu Wuyang couldn't help but feel a little curious.

……

Night falls.

Tonight is the last night of the martial arts examination. Tomorrow morning, all candidates will leave the hunting ground and return home.

Therefore, King Xiaoyao specially opened the hot springs in the back mountain for the examinees to bathe and relieve fatigue.

Su Shengyan and Chu Yan will naturally go there as well.

When we arrived at the hot spring, there were already many people soaking in it, all of them were strong men.

Chu Yan couldn't help but blush, but he didn't dare to show his timidity, so he could only lower his head and not look.

Su Shengyan took off his shirt and turned around to find her still sitting next to him, so he walked over and asked, "Are you okay? Do you need me to help you take it off?"

Chu Yan quickly shook his hand: "No, no! I... I just want to soak my feet, I don't want to take a bath."

"How can that be possible? Since you are here, let's take a dip and relax."

"No need really!"

"What's wrong? Are you bored? It's okay, brother will help you take off your clothes..." Su Shengyan said as he reached out to grab her collar.

"Oh! Don't!"

Chu Yan suddenly yelled and frantically tried to push him away with his hands.

Many people looked over here, full of curiosity.

"Hey, isn't this Master Su and Master Chu? You are here too?"

"Come in and take a bath with us! We are all men, don't be shy!"

"That's right, I still have room here, both of you come quickly!"

……

Many people greeted them enthusiastically, and Su Shengyan responded one by one, then turned to look at Chu Yan.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for us."

"You don't have to worry about me, really! I...I can do it myself!" She really couldn't refuse, so she could only bite the bullet and pretend to go by herself.

Seeing that she was very shy and a little alienated, Su Shengyan nodded and stopped forcing her.

"Okay, then hurry up."

After saying that, he took off his shirt and trousers, leaving only his white pajama pants, and went to take a hot spring bath.

Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, clenched her fists nervously, and thought of the advice Su Lanyin had given her.

There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, but it soon became firm. Then he took a deep breath and stood up with the help of the big tree next to him.

Su Shengyan was chatting and laughing with others and did not notice that there was a burning gaze staring at him from behind.

But someone else noticed that Chu Yan was limping over, until he stood by the spring with the help of a crutch, looking down at Su Shengyan.

"Ok?"

Su Shengyan turned around and saw Chu Yan standing there, with confusion in his eyes.

"Brother Su..."

"What's wrong? Do you want to go into the water?" Su Shengyan asked.

Chu Yan stared at him, thinking for a long time, then took a deep breath and said to him loudly: "Brother Su, in order to save me, you risked your life to attract the evil tiger. I know your intentions, but...but we are both men, destined not to be together. We will still be good brothers in the future!"

After saying this, without waiting for Su Shengyan's reaction, he turned around and limped away quickly on his crutches.

The hot spring that was noisy just a moment ago suddenly became silent with only the sound of flowing water. Everyone looked surprised and stared blankly at the protagonist Su Shengyan, as if they were still digesting the meaning of Chu Yan's words.

Until Su Shengyan reacted and looked confused.

"…What's your intention?"

The way everyone looked at him became weird.

In particular, a few men who were soaking in the water with him immediately stood up and climbed onto the shore. The others also squeezed to the other side, trying to keep a distance from him, as if they were afraid of being stuck to him.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect he would have such a hobby?"

"He looks gentle and refined, but you can't judge a person by his appearance."

"This Chu Yan seems to be interested in him too. Could it be that the two of them are really..."

"That's hard to say. If there's no such relationship, why would one be willing to sacrifice oneself to save the other?"

"It seems that the feelings between the two are genuine, what a pity."

……

For a moment, everyone was talking about it, and some people's voices even reached Su Shengyan's ears directly.

He finally realized what Chu Yan meant, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, I don't have that idea about him, I..."

The more he explained, the more guilty he seemed, and the more ambiguous the looks people gave him became.

Su Shengyan knew that he had made himself clear, unless the person involved came forward to explain.

So he immediately got up and climbed out of the pool, without even putting on his clothes, and ran quickly towards the tent.

Su Lanyin and Fu Wuyang were watching a show on a big tree not far away, holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands, cracking them and chatting.

"Is this your bad idea? To ruin your big brother's reputation?"

"How can this be called ruining? Besides, he hasn't told anyone for sure that this is his hobby."

"Rumors are scary. If they spread, they become true."

"That's better than being forced..."

"Hmm? Forced into what?"

Fu Wuyang was curious, but Su Lanyin realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and pretended nothing had happened.

"It's okay, it's nothing."
