Chapter 27
When it’s time to go to sleep, the two of them are still covered with separate quilts, and no one has ever crossed the line. Tang Xiaobao covered the quilt and patted it, thinking of today’s events, turned his head to look at Ji Ling beside him. Looking at his face, he can’t help but feel once again that some people are just born with good looks. Staring at him, his eyes came to Ji Ling’s lips. Recently, he doesn’t know whether Ji Ling has become addicted to kissing himself for a while. Now staring at Ji Ling’s lips, and remembering the feeling of being kissed, soft, and a good smell of grass, kissed more he also thinks that is a very good feeling.
Tang Xiaobao was staring at Ji Ling’s lips like a little wolf, and suddenly felt the urge to kiss him, but he didn’t dare to go over. So, he could only stare at him with a heart of colours but no guts.
Ji Ling, who woke up at an unknown time, looked at Tang Xiaobao who was staring at him, and saw his look of wanting to kiss but not daring to do so, a look of having a thief’s heart but not a thief’s guts. So he lifted up the duvet and carried him over. When he started to cry out in surprise, he kissed him on the lips. Tang Xiaobao, who originally resisted for a while, soon obeyed, perhaps because the taste was too good, and gradually reacted.
Noticing Tang Xiaobao’s change, Ji Ling looked at the person whose eyes were hazy with tears from his kiss, touched the place where he reacted, and saw him shrink in embarrassment, and scolded with a smile, “Silly thing.” He put his hand up.
The next day, when Tang Xiaobao opened his eyes, he realised that he was lying in Ji Ling’s arms, and Ji Ling was holding him tightly, making him feel very relieved. Looking at Ji Ling’s handsome face as he slept, and thinking of his own face yesterday when he was teased to the point of sobbing, he could not help but shrink towards the quilt, but still very relieved to shrink towards Ji Ling’s embrace, and similarly also embraced Ji Ling. Probably, he still likes this person.
Sensing a furry head rubbing in his arms, Ji Ling reached out and pressed him to his chest, forbidding him to move any further.
Tang Xiaobao, who was pressed honestly, slept for a while, and then thought that it should be getting late, and he should get up to make food. It didn’t matter if he occasionally ate other people cooking food, but for the sake of Ji Ling’s body, it was better to eat his cooking food.
“I’m going to get up and make breakfast.” Tang Xiaobao lifted his head and said as he lay on Ji Ling’s chest.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao, who was staring at herself with red mouth and pouting lips, Ji Ling silently nodded his head and obediently released the person, then called the subordinates to come in and clean up the room.
Getting up to wear clothes, Tang Xiaobao remaining light saw a flash of white under the corner of the bed, fixed eyes, thought of yesterday’s some kind of indescribable movement, very weak, slowly moved over, want to destroy the hand towel, who knows that there are a pair of handkerchief faster than his own. He saw Ji Ling picked up and threw it directly into the clothes that needed to be changed, not knowing shyness at all.
After getting dressed and handling the evidence, Ji Ling lifted his head and saw Tang Xiaobao staring at him with a face of shyness and anger. Ji Ling looked at him and said indifferently, “What’s wrong?”
Tang Xiaobao looked at him with such boldness and confidence, completely unable to describe his feelings. He silently shut his mouth when he saw the maids packing things up with their hands and faces as usual, many things here were different from his previous life. For the maids, packing up this stuff is not embarrassing. Thinking of a certain situation in the future where the bedsheets would need to be changed by the maids, Tang Xiaobao instantly felt bad and ran out with a red face after putting on his clothes.
Green Lotus, who had been waiting around, saw this situation, and hurriedly bowed to Ji Ling, and followed Tang Xiaobao away.
Only after the two of them had left, did Ji Ling take out the handkerchief that had just been thrown into the laundry change room, and waved his hand for the maids to take it.
Running to the small kitchen in a single breath, the heat on Tang Xiaobao’s face only went down a little, looking at Green Lotus who was rattling after him, quite a bit embarrassed. “Sorry ah, it’s because I ran too fast.”
Hearing Tang Xiaobao say this, Green Lotus waved her hand and said with a lowered head, “Young madam is serious, it’s because I’m slow to follow.”
Seeing Green Lotus’ guilty face, Tang Xiaobao also did not say anything more, fearing that she would directly kneel down and ask for forgiveness.
Master and servant two came to the kitchen, looking at the dishes prepared by the subordinates, looking for what the cooking should be today. Finally, looking at the chicken soup that was left over from yesterday, they decided to make two bowls of noodles. Along the way, Tang Xiaobao was a bit absent-minded, thinking about what happened with Ji Ling, his face couldn’t help but start to redden, then he looked down and giggled for a while, looking at the dough with too much water, he hastily sprinkled some flour down.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s state, Green Lotus somehow wanted to speak but hesitated, but looking at Tang Xiaobao’s silly face, she still did not open her mouth, still like the usual in the side and silent, always very timely in Tang Xiaobao needing something then she pass it or give it to him.
During the whole process, Tang Xiaobao looked very happy.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao like this, Green Lotus quietly said, “Young madam looks very happy today.”
Hearing Green Lotus’ words, Tang Xiaobao appeared a bit shy, but the happiness at the corner of his mouth was not deceiving, and the discerning eye could tell that he was living a very happy life.
For this kind of Tang Xiaobao, Green Lotus was very envious. The young madam’s situation when he entered the house, these subordinates were very clear, originally thought it would only be higher than these maids’s status, on that point only, just do not know that he will be so favoured after entering the house. Thinking of this, green lotus suddenly thought of that suddenly disappeared big maid Cai Yue, her body shocked, only to find that they are different. No matter what, he only needs to serve this person in front of him.
Tang Xiaobao was completely unaware that the maid who followed him had turned his mind several times in a few moments, and was only attentive to the noodles on her hands. Since a long time ago, living alone and skillfully, Tang Xiaobao still can do quite a lot of food. Looking at the almost kneaded dough under his hands, thinking of Ji Ling’s growing appetite, Tang Xiaobao thought for a moment and made two large and small bowls.
Having promised to spare a day to accompany Tang Xiaobao back to see his stepmother, Ji Ling was also extra busy these days, arranging all the things he needed.
On the appointed day, Ji Ling called someone in early in the morning to dress Tang Xiaobao.
“Actually, there’s no need for this.” Looking at the maids holding a bunch of clothes that he would not normally wear beside himself. waiting for him to choose, Tang Xiaobao was a little embarrassed, he felt that it was just a trip back, there was no need to make it so grand.
Hearing Tang Xiaobao’s words, Green Lotus shook her head, appearing to be non-committal, “Young master said that he wants to give the young madam a good dress up. After all, it’s a return to his own home, so it’s not good if he loses face.” It would be best to look really rich and expensive, but these words could not be said to the young madam.
In the end, with the help of Green Lotus, Tang Xiaobao successfully transformed from a bumpkin into a noble son, even the hairpin used for decoration on his head was worth a fortune. Tang Xiaobao came out after getting ready, only to see Ji Ling who had already prepared for the event. Looking at Ji Ling who stood there with an impressive aura, Tang Xiaobao shook his fingers in a wriggle, always feeling that he was just like a servant boy beside Ji Ling.
Ji Ling does not know how Tang Xiaobao thinks, just by looking at his face will be able to guess about eight or nine. Looking at Tang Xiaobao, who had changed into a formal crescent-white dress, all cleaned up properly and with a red face, Ji Ling felt in a very good mood.
Looking at the side of the green lotus holding a jade pendant to Tang Xiaobao’s waist, Ji Ling glanced and prevent, and then reached out from his own waist to unlock that piece of jade pendant that he often use, came in front of Tang Xiaobao, bowed down to give him, tie it on.
Feeling Ji Ling’s breath on his cheeks, Tang Xiaobao blushed in embarrassment. Soon after, Ji Ling took a step back and looked up and down before letting Tang Xiaobao go. Nodding his head, he signalled Feng Ling behind him that he could get ready, seeing Feng Ling who went out first, Ji Ling took Tang Xiaobao’s hand and blandly said, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to go back and take a look.”
“Hmm.” Tang Xiaobao, who originally did not know how to face the situation, felt full of courage because of the warmth in his hand. Even if it was to go see that wicked witch, he was not afraid at all.
Looking at Tang Xiaobao, who had instantly turned majestic and spirited, Ji Ling gently squeezed his soft hand and then led him out.
When he came to the street where the original Tang Mansion was located, looking at the familiar scenery around him, Tang Xiaobao still had some feelings. This is the place where the original body grew up, if his father did not marry that woman into the door, perhaps the original master will find a person who is in love with, and then be married off in style and splendour. But now, there is no if, after all, the original master is long gone.
In the midst of his lamentations, Tang Xiaobao felt a pain in his cheek, and then realised that Ji Ling was staring at him, a thoughtful expression on his face. Touching his sore face, Tang Xiaobao’s eyes quickly burst into tears. He said that he liked himself, but in the end, he was still so cruel.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s aggrieved face, Ji Ling thought that he didn’t exert much force, it should be because Tang Xiaobao’s skin is really too tender, so he reached out to rub it for him. Then he heard Feng Ling’s voice from outside, “Young master, young madam, we have arrived at the Tang Mansion.”
Hearing Feng Ling’s words, Ji Ling’s outstretched hand shrunk back, and just looked at Tang Xiaobao, who kept rubbing his face, and said, “It’s here, we should go down.”
Tang Xiaobao nodded, not sure if it was because the original owner’s residual thoughts were too insistent, before he even got off the carriage, the discomfort in the bottom of his heart became clearer and clearer.
Ji Ling got out of the carriage first, then looked at Tang Xiaobao who came out later, saw his face was not good, thinking that he was still angry at himself for pinching him. Then he looked at him and said gently, “It was my fault just now, I shouldn’t have pinched your face.” It’s just that your face is too tender, and there’s always an urge to pinch it.
Originally having forgotten about this, Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling, towards him gently hummed a small voice, just now the depressed gas also relieved a lot.
Seeing the interaction between the two, it does not look like they are busy to go in, originally stood at the door to greet the Tang House butler, he had to stand his head out, if he let his Madam know that the young master Ji came but stood at the door for so long, he would be punished. “Young Master, it’s windy outside, Madam has been waiting for you inside for a long time, please follow me in.”
Looking at the butler, Ji Ling nodded, and then followed the butler in. Although the Tang Family’s mansion was not as luxurious as the Ji Mansion, but looking at the decorations inside, one could tell that this kind of family was quite well-off. Observing the structure without making a sound, Ji Ling looked at the person next to him and couldn’t help but want to cherish him a little more. Obviously he is born in such a rich and noble family, but because the inner chambers are shady and degraded to such a state, if the person who he met happened to be not himself, he is afraid that this stupid thing will be wasted into an unknown place.
Thinking of the dirty things Tang Xiaobao might encounter, the air around Ji Ling began to become cold. Until Tang Xiaobao realised something was wrong and pulled his hand.
The two of them walked for less than a few moments, and then arrived at the main hall. Only to see that the decoration of the very gorgeous hall is sitting in the middle of two women, an older, a younger, but a closer look, can be seen that the two are carefully dressed. Originally very outstanding face, this time carefully dressed up even more gorgeous.
Seeing Ji Ling bringing Tang Xiaobao forward, Tang Shiman’s heart was happy, and then her eyes seemed to be glued to Ji Ling’s body. The rest of the light saw Tang Xiaobao all dressed up, couldn’t help but bite his teeth, why is he so lucky, obviously she should be the one who is enjoying the blessings. Holding the handkerchief in her hand, she thought about what to say later to make Ji Ling feel more favourable towards her, she would not think that she would lose to Tang Xiaobao.
Compared to her daughter’s apprehension, Wan Jingqian took a look at the man whom she had never met before. Seeing that Ji Ling is not only a good-looking man, but also has an extraordinary demeanor, she instantly understands why her daughter is thinking of him.
Until the two approached, there was no intention of opening their mouths to salute, Tang Xiaobao was feeling awkward, while Ji Ling was feeling unnecessary.
Originally still want to be pretentious Wan JingQian see this situation, can not help but smile, look at now like a change person Tang Xiaobao, laughed: “Xiaobao away from home for many days, now you do not remember mother, so that it let mother sad.” She also took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, making Tang Xiaobao look like an unfilial son.
Seeing Tang Shiman, who was comforting him, Tang Xiaobao thought, “I know it would be like this, it’s better for me not to come here and watch other people’s performances”. Although she cries very beautifully, she only shed a few tears ah, that handkerchief is not even wet!
