To be friends with the villain [quick wear]
Chapter 16 His Royal Highness's Gentle Young Fu
Xiao Se raised Bai Yan's chin with one hand, and reached into Bai Yan's shirt with the other hand. Seeing that he was about to bring his sexy thin lips closer, Bai Yan hurriedly stepped on the brakes: "Xiao Se, this is in the palace."
Xiao Se raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of everything." Bai Yan said something indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Se really stopped and let go of him.Xiao Se's eyes were dim, and he turned his head without saying a word.
Like angry.
For a moment, Bai Yan's mind popped out a capitalized stupefaction.He didn't understand why Xiao Se was angry and jealous?According to Xiao Se's stingy temperament, maybe it is true.
"My mother's body has almost recovered these days, I think you should come to the banquet tonight..." Bai Yan unnaturally lowered his head and straightened the folds of his clothes that Xiao Se made, "So let's go ahead Palace..."
As soon as Bai Yan finished speaking, he watched helplessly that the creases he had just smoothed out reappeared on his neat clothes.
Xiao Se enveloped Bai Yan and imprisoned him in his arms. His dark and deep eyes seemed to see a hole in Bai Yan's face. He lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, you miss me?" ?”
Bai Yan didn't dare to look him in the eyes, and whispered back: "I just want to tell you that I didn't break my promise..."
Xiao Se turned his face, forcing Bai Yan to look into his eyes, and heard the sweet words from his thin lips: "I miss you. I miss you so much!"
"..." Bai Yan blushed timidly.
Then naturally, he was out of breath when he was kissed by Xiao Se, Bai Yan didn't resist, and he didn't respond dully, but Xiao Se enjoyed himself and had a good time alone.
Bai Yan's mind is clear, but his body seems to be unconscious - he doesn't want to push away the villain who is pressing him against the cold corner of the wall and laying hands on him.
Bai Yan opened his eyes secretly, and the eyelashes of the man who was close at hand scraped Bai Yan's face from time to time with the movement of the master, itching and numb, it could always itch to people's hearts.
Different from the feeling of being kissed by Xiao Se in the East Palace before, Bai Yan only felt his heart beating non-stop. He felt that Xiao Se was sucking his heart like a goblin, sucking his heart from his chest to his chest. throat.
There is a green bamboo forest in the corner, and next to the bamboo forest is a clump of small pines and cypresses two meters high. This corner is secluded, and it is really a good place to have an affair.I don't know how many guards and concubines who can't stand the loneliness have done something in this corner...
Bai Yan was happily imagining some indescribable things in his mind, when someone's footsteps came from outside the bamboo forest, and in time, the mosaic image that had just appeared in Bai Yan's mind was marked with a big cross.
"Hmph, Qi Yue is back, and you've come back from the ashes?" The speaker's tone was arrogant and sarcastic, and just by his voice, he could imagine his master's sneering face.
Bai Yan held his breath and pushed Xiao Se who was still having fun.However, Xiao Se remained indifferent, and even bit his Adam's apple to punish him for not focusing.
Bai Yan was in pain, but he didn't dare to speak out.There are people less than three meters away, and they are still playing the heat-up game here, you really know how to play, prince!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The clear and crisp voice was mixed with a trace of impatience, which was a little familiar.
"How long has it been, and you still don't give up? Don't blame my highness for not reminding you, at the banquet tonight, your eagerly waiting Qi Shaofu may be married by the emperor again."
Hearing this, Bai Yan's body froze, and he reflexively looked at Xiao Se, who was exuding aggressiveness all over his body.Then, Xiao Se with a frosty face took another bite of Bai Yan.
Bai Yan swallowed the pain in his throat abruptly.Bai Yan gasped in pain, and finally figured out who the people outside were, the hero and the heroine.
"Marriage again?" Liu Xu'er exclaimed, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, but Qi Yue's involuntary sympathy.
But Xiao Jing thought that she still cared about Qi Yue, so jealous, he said viciously: "Yes! It's a pity that no matter how much you give a marriage, it will not be your turn for a mere concubine."
"..." This male lead is probably a fool, right?Bai Yan rolled his eyes silently, um, he is not only a fool, but also a jealous king.The sour smell came to him.
Huh?It doesn't seem right... It seems that there is a sour smell on his side, and the place where it originated is called Xiao Se.
"It's none of your business whether I get my turn or not? Besides, how can I, a concubine, let your majestic Sixth Highness follow behind you all day? Sixth Highness is honorable, so don't get in touch with lowly people like me! "Liu Xu'er stomped her feet angrily, and mercilessly turned back.
After all, Liu Xu'er didn't care about Xiao Jing's face turning black with anger, and turned around to leave.
Bai Yan's eyes were wide open. Although there are always such plots in romance novels, and he has complained about them, but watching with his own eyes, he still can't help the gossip burning in his body.
Sure enough, Xiao Jing took a step forward and pulled Liu Xu'er over, and kissed Liu Xu'er if there was any disagreement.I have to say that the two brothers Xiao Se and Xiao Jing are really alike, they are both as strong and domineering, do all the princes have this attribute?
The later development is the same as all the hero and heroines in romantic dramas. The heroine struggles and resists at the beginning, then gradually accepts later, and finally sinks into it and responds lingeringly.
Bai Yan fell into deep thought again, and was startled to realize that he seemed to be similar. Now that he was kissed by Xiao Se forcefully, he didn't even have the urge to slap him.
Bai Yan burst into tears, thinking of him as an upright young man, how can he bend?Who gave him the confidence that he could take down the big villain?In the end, the villain was considered to have won, and he was not only persecuted but also completely bent. This deal was a loss no matter what.
Bai Yan thought about it, and decided to throw the blame on the system.
Looking indifferently at the system in front of a mosaic eating potato chips: "Heh..."
"Are you still interested in looking at others?" Xiao Se's low voice suddenly rang in Bai Yan's ear.
"..." Sorry, my skills haven't been upgraded.In this blue sky and white day, in the fortified imperial palace, two men are kissing, and there are people not far away. I'm really sorry that you can't be so calm and composed.
Xiao Se smiled evilly, licked his lips, and stretched out the lawless hand that was already in his clothes even more presumptuously...
In this remote little place, the two places have infinite scenery.
Bai Yan looked up at the sky, not daring to look at Xiao Se who was half kneeling under him.What a fucking thrill today!
Until the dinner party started at night, Bai Yan didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Se's mouth, as soon as he saw it, he could think of the day's events, and when he thought of him, he would blush for a full 10 minutes.
When the banquet was about to end, as Xiao Jing said, the emperor gave Bai Yan a marriage again, and it was still Princess Die'er, and even the date was chosen, at the end of this month.
Bai Yan thought to himself, does the old man need to be so impatient?He looked at Xiao Se unobtrusively, but unexpectedly found that Xiao Se was looking at him with a spectator expression like everyone else, drinking some wine.
What is Xiao Se playing?Bai Yan remembered it, and promised him that he would not marry anyone. Even if His Majesty the Emperor pushed him again this time, Bai Yan would still give it a try.
But how could Bai Yan's every move escape his father's eyes?Bai Yan's butt was about to leave his seat a centimeter before he was grabbed by his father, and he received a deep look from his father.
Bai Yan looked at his father with question marks all over his face, but his father nodded to him inscrutablely, motioning him to accept the favor.Bai Yan looked at Xiao Se again, but the man smiled maliciously.
Conspiracy, there must be some conspiracy!
Bai Yan knelt in front of the hall, euphemistically expressing that he didn't really want to marry a wife.However, this time, His Majesty the Emperor was angry. He appeared to be amiable, but actually threatened: "Die'er is infatuated with you. She has a gentle and gentle personality. I think she will be able to raise the eyebrows with Qi Aiqing in the future and have a good relationship." It means that you want to marry her. If you don't want to marry, you have to marry.
Seeing the emperor's eyes seemed to be angry, Bai Yan had no choice but to agree first before making any plans, after all, resisting the decree is not fun.
When the banquet was over, Bai Yan wanted to explain to Xiao Se that he had to take care of his family before he had to agree, but Xiao Se only left him a cold back.
This piss, probably angry again.
But he never expected that Xiao Se would come to visit in the early morning of the next day in a grand manner, and brought an unexpected person with him.
Xiao Se came very early, and Bai Yan hadn't woken up yet.Last night's banquet, it was rare to be in the morning today, and Bai Yan heard footsteps outside the door before he woke up from his sleep.
The footsteps were not from one person, but from several people.They were in a hurry, so hurried that they entered Bai Yan's room like thieves without even knocking on the door.
One of them even grabbed Bai Yan's wrist while he didn't understand the situation.
Bai Yan was shocked and woke up immediately.Then what came into view was the kind (indecent) kind (indecent) smile on the face of the genius doctor who hadn't seen him for many days.
"Young master, don't be nervous, I'm just helping you to see if there is any possibility of recurrence of the leg disease."
You fucking say that, he's nervous even if he's not nervous, okay?And Bai Yan found that not only his parents, but also Xiao Se came in, all with serious and worried expressions.
The miracle doctor frowned, shaking his head and sighing.
The Princess Mother cried first, and then Grandpa Hou sighed.
"System, you arranged for me to be terminally ill, right?" Bai Yan thought of the month the system said, and couldn't help asking.
"No." The system was also confused, "Aside from a little kidney deficiency, you have no terminal illness. So, people don't know what they are doing."
White words and black lines, if you don't want to see the mosaic, just say it, don't specifically point out that his kidneys are not very good... Moreover, the combination of the words "ren" and "nong" really makes people indigestion.
Bai Yan heard the princess over there tremblingly asking again: "Genius doctor, is there nothing you can do to heal?"
"Hey!" The miracle doctor sighed heavily.
His mother cried even harder.
Bai Yan was still in a daze, who was this genius doctor acting with?Why do you mean he can't be saved?
"Genius doctor, what are you talking about? What's wrong with me?" Bai Yan pretended not to understand anything and asked the pretending genius doctor.
The miraculous doctor seemed unable to bear it, and opened his mouth. He didn't have the heart to say it, but silently stepped aside to make room for the people behind.
"Yue'er, don't hold yourself back any longer." His father said something Bai Yan couldn't understand with a sad face, "Dad was wrong when he hit you last time, I should have known why my son was like that." Unfilial people, I never thought it would be like this..."
so?What is it like?Dad, can you make it clear?
"Master Hou, don't be too sad. When Qi Yue encountered a miracle doctor and found a magic medicine to heal my face, there must be a magic medicine in the world that can heal Qi Yue. No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find it for Qi Yue!" Xiao Se was equally sad, but also with a bit of determination to put a knife in his friend's ribs.
Okay, Bai Yan can probably be sure that the genius doctor is cooperating with Xiao Se's performance.If he really has something to do, Xiao Se shouldn't have such an expression based on the 100 favorability and the few nights.
However, Princess Princess believed it, and pulled Xiao Se, like a life-saving straw, to ask him for help: "Prince, we were sorry for misunderstanding you before, and now Yue'er really can only rely on you!"
Bai Yan's head hurt from hearing this, rubbed his temples and finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Xiao Se and asked, "What are you guys talking about?"
But what answered him were four faces with expressions of "Don't pretend, we all know".
In the end Xiao Se still answered him with difficulty: "Qi Yue, I'm sorry, my aunt came to me a few days ago and asked me why you went to my place, and I told her the truth."
EXM?the truth?Is it really the truth?Anyway, Bai Yan doesn't believe it.
But Bai Yan still chose to cooperate with Xiao Se, pretending to be unbelievable that he was betrayed by a good friend, slightly angrily said: "You! How could you..."
"I'm sorry..." Xiao Se turned his head to one side sadly, "I know I promised you to keep it a secret, but...Qi Yue, if you don't mention this kind of thing, how can you not tell your family and find a good remedy?"
Bai Yan opened his mouth wide in shock and didn't close it for a long time.
What the hell?He won't lift it?Xiao Se, do you dare to touch your conscience and say it again?Nima, Xiao Se, have you lost your memory?Could it be that they were playing house in the palace during the day yesterday?
Xiao Se raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of everything." Bai Yan said something indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Se really stopped and let go of him.Xiao Se's eyes were dim, and he turned his head without saying a word.
