Gong Lixin was very interested and stared at the other man. From time to time, he pulled out the pink lollipop in his hand. It was quite tasty.
Looking into the man's eyes, as dark as ink and as deep as the abyss, the originally cold light in them gave out a faint trace of heat as they decided to watch them stare at the candy in the other's hand without being able to move his line of sight. Gong Lixin pondered then, with a smile, he searched in his pocket, took out another beautifully packaged lollipop and handed it over to the other as he looked up and said, "You want to eat some? This is for you!"
The man's line of sight finally slowly moved away and stopped on the new lollipop with a deadpan expression on his face.
Some people's eyes were attracted by the interaction between the two, including the guards who were chatting and Tan Mingyuan.

Seeing that the other person who was being stared at by Young Master Gong was Dou Heng, Tan Mingyuan's eyes flashed. He prevented the guard from going to intervene and used his eyes to signal him to wait and see. This Young Master Gong was too simple and kind. Simple and kind people often died faster, so he should learn a little bit right now. Knowing Dou Heng's nature, he would not turn a blind eye to Young Master Gong's gesture and with his temper, he might even attack the other. Right then, he only needed to teach Young Master Gong a lesson before beating Dou Heng up. He wanted to come and rescue Young Master Gong after he learned his lesson so that the other would be grateful to him and would listen to his arrangements later.
But however many times he saw the situation unfolding before his eyes, imagination was often different from reality. Moreover, he obviously forgot that Gong Lixin was not an ordinary person who had no strength to bind even chickens. He could only blame Gong Lixin's face for being too deceptive and far from the image of a strong person.
Dou Heng returned to reality and once again looked at the smile of the young man, reached out after a long while to slowly take the lollipop and said 'thank you' with a low and hoarse voice. The teenager's eyes were clean and held no sympathy, no mercy, no hidden humiliation. His smile was just a simple smile, without any trace of impurities. It was refreshing. For the first time, Dou Heng didn't care about what was handed to him by others.
"No need for thanks." Under the horrified eyes of the people present, the teenager smiled and waved his hand. His jade-like finger pressed against his pink lips as he threw a tacit look towards Dou Heng.
Dou Heng stared for a moment, then nodded. In his heart and in his lowered eyes were a glimmer of light. This was the first time he realized what was the feeling called pleasure was like since he first had cognition. This feeling was very warm and felt somewhat nostalgic. [1]
Astounded, Tan Mingyuan turned his head towards Dou Heng, who was stowing the lollipop away in his pant pocket, then towards Young Master Gong, who was smiling brightly. He thought to himself: I never thought that I'd see Dou Heng of all people fall in love. I guess this is where the saying 'beauty isn't what makes you lose your head, what makes you lose your head is love itself' comes from. It's a shame he fell for Young Master Gong too late. Now, he can only look and not touch.
After thinking about it, he looked to the guard. The guard quickly stepped forward and smacked Dou Heng with his whip and rushed the group of slaves away. Tan Mingyuan also took big steps and led the fourteen people away. As for Gong Xiangyi who was standing ten meters away, she squinted as she ground her teeth. She didn't understand why all the people Gong Lixin met became so abnormal. Was he that good? What happened to this world, why did it become so unrecognizable?
