The Blessed (Book 1)

137. A Situation of Tripartite Confrontation; Yan Shengrui's Abnormality (2)

You could say the high quality steel had become a sore point in Yan Shengrui’s heart. So, even if he had lost his memories now, he still got excited on hearing those words.

The pains in the arms clearly told Ling Jingxuan how excited his man was now, so excited that he even ignored his feelings, some kind cold feeling crawled upon that pair of thin and long phoenix eyes, but he didn’t shout or what, only looking at him with that pair of cold eyes with even blinking. He could understand his feelings, but could not accept that he ignored his feelings for some damn formula for refining high quality steel. You could say he is selfish, or he is too possessive, but he and his sons were not the most important in his heart, he chose to want nothing.

“Shengrui, let go of Jingxuan, he is weak, you are hurting him.”

Seeing this, Han Fei and Zhao Dalong hurriedly moved forward no both sides, one holding Jingxuan, while the other trying to get Yan Shengrui’s hands off him. Then Yan Shengrui came to his sense suddenly. He hurriedly let go of him, “Sorry, I don’t know why I did this. Jing Xuan…are you all right?”

As Mr Yan, with a pained look on his face, reaches over to pull up his arm, Mr Ling dodged by saying, “You can’t die.”

The tone became as cold as when they communicated for the first time. Yan Shengrui’s black sword-shape eyebrow nearly screwed into one. Damn it! Why did he make that kind of reaction? It had taken him so much trying to improve his relationship with Jingxuan. But everything had to start all over again.

“Jingxuan, don’t be mad at Shengrui. He was not on purpose. The refining method of high quality steel is the top secret of Xi Kingdom. So it’s reasonable that he behaved like that.”

Han Fei’s eyes moved between them, then helplessly tried to speak for Yan Shengrui, he really didn’t want Jingxuan to get mad on such a thing. After Jingxuan said those words, he and Dalong also felt shocked, and excited.

“I am not mad at him. Brother Zhao and Han, sorry, I need to take some rest.”

Speaking of which, Ling Jingxuan went toward the direction to the basement without even giving Yan Shengrui a look. Ling Jinghan, who was sitting under the roof reading books, also heard the noise on this side. Now on seeing his big brother coming over, he meant to say some caring words, but as he got up, he saw Yan Shengrui was closely following him behind, he decisively sat back, since he believed that brother Rui could do the job well.

“Master Han, don’t you go check things out? Master Xuan seems to be injured.”

Watching them disappear in sight, Song Shuisheng who was serving aside said so worriedly. He was fifteen already, even one year older than Ling Jinghan, of course he could read people’s emotions.

“No need, brother Rui is more capable than I thought. He has his ways to comfort my big brother.”

Shaking his head smilingly, Ling Jinghan lowered his head and gently flipped over his book again. If he guessed it right, Brother Rui wouldn’t be an ordinary person.

Song Shuisheng did not quite understand what he meant, but since he had said so, he should not say more. After filling his empty cup with tea, he quietly picked up a branch and continued practicing the words Ling Jinghan had just taught him.

“Sorry Jingxuan, I really did not mean it, let me help you apply the medicine.”

In the basement, watching Ling Jingxuan taking off his coat to try to apply the medicine himself, Yan shengrui said so, with that pair of tiger eyes staring at the bruises on his arms. In his heart, he had already cursed himself like a million times. Not long ago everything was fine, how could it become like this now?

Ling Jingxuan ignored him, just quietly applied the medicine there, in fact it was also a total mess in his heart. He knew he shouldn’t put the blame on Yan Shengrui. Like what he often said, one might lose his memories, but one’s some habits would never be gone. Yan Shengrui had ever suffered a lot under those high quality steel knives, so it was normal that he would have had such reactions just now. So now he was behaving like a woman on such a thing, but…He just didn’t want him to put him and their sons behind the damn high quality steel in his heart, or ever behind others things maybe. And it was until now he realized that his feelings for Yan Shengrui had been so deep already. What if he no longer loved him after he regained his memories? He…he couldn’t even afford to imagine that scene. He even didn’t know what he would do.

“Jingxuan, don’t be angry, I swear, it will never happen again. This is the first time, and you can’t directly sentence me to death. Jingxuan…”

Seeing that he was not touched at all, Yan Shengrui directly dropped his dignity on the ground, opened his arms to hold him tightly, saying so with a nearly begging tone. He nearly gave play of his shamelessness to a new level. At first, Ling Jingxuan still tried to break free from him, but then amused by him and laughed. After burying his face in his chest for quite a while, he looked up at him, “Who sentenced you to death? I was just thinking things.”

This man…His rascal doings already made him speechless. Although still a little bit mad in the heart, he was already not that angry now. He was not a man who liked avoiding things or kept receiving other’s giving.

Since he was sure his feelings for him grew deeper, he could only try to take up that spot deep in his heart now, right? Even if someday he really regained his memories, he would never live without him.

“Ha… Scared me to death. Jingxuan, don’t frighten me so anymore, OK. I’m not afraid of anything, but only afraid you no longer want me.”

He exhaled an exaggeratingly long breath. Leaning on his shoulder, Yan Shengrui breathed his breaths. Heaven knows that he was scared just now that his heart nearly stopped beating.

“I guess you are only afraid that you’d have no sons to bury you after you die.”

Misunderstanding removed, Ling Jingxuan teased him. It seemed he needed to put the high quality steel thing aside first. Getting and maintaining a relationship also required little tricks. In order to tie his heart tightly, he needed to use his brains.

“Nonsense! We are still young. Never say that again.”

Pretending to stare at him sternly, Yan Shengrui already couldn’t hold it and laughed in the middle of his words. He wanted his sons, but he wants his sons’ daddy more!

“All right, let’s go help brother Zhao and others. Today we need to finish sheds. Tomorrow we need to make jam already.”

Stretching out a hand to pinch his face, Ling Jingxuan brushed off his hands with a smile. Yan Shengrui smiled. After calming down, he noticed that he was exceedingly familiar with those words like…Prince Sheng and the battlefield…Yes, very familiar, like that was his game…Is it possible I have something to do with that Prince Sheng?

Once had to say, Yan Shengrui was astute and he almost hit the bull’s eye. However, now he would never know that he was the Prince Sheng himself even in his dream!
