After Shen Shijiu closed the door, he stood facing the door without looking back.
It was quite easy for him to lock Wei Yiren out, but now he felt shy again.
"Why are you standing so far away?"
Pei Zheng saw the little guy standing by the door and said with a smile, "Come here."
Shen Shijiu took a few steps and walked backwards, still not daring to look at Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng's clothes were wet and cold, and very uncomfortable against his skin, but in fact his limbs could move freely.
"Turn around."
Shen Shijiu turned around obediently, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Pei Zheng's crooked collar, and he quickly lowered his head.
Pei Zheng chuckled, "Where did your self-righteous energy go?"
She lifted his chin with her fingers and made him look at her. "Are you shy now?"
Shen Shijiu looked at Pei Zheng, who was soaked all over. He was born with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his hair was slightly messy and dripping with water. His face became even whiter, and his lips were also steamed red by the warmth in the room...
Shen Shijiu swallowed silently, his little heart beating wildly and his ears slowly becoming hot.
"Sir..."
Pei Zheng put his finger to his lips, "There's no one else here."
"Oh, Brother Pei..."
"Um?"
"You... you need to change your wet clothes quickly, otherwise... you will get sick."
Pei Zheng obediently reached out to take off his robe, but as soon as he raised his arm, he frowned slightly.
Shen Shijiu carefully noticed Pei Zheng's abnormality, dragged his arm and asked, "Brother Pei, what's wrong with you?"
"My arms are weak, can you help me?"
"Okay." Shen Shijiu nodded, "How can I help you?"
Pei Zheng put his arm down and took half a step forward.
"Help me change my clothes."
Shen Shijiu was obviously a little hesitant, but not because of anything else, but simply because he was shy. His red little earlobes had been seen by Pei Zheng.
"Forget it, I'll change it myself later."
Pei Zheng pretended to be disappointed, turned around and walked to the table nearby and sat down. "But, if you wear wet clothes for a long time, you will get sick."
After saying this, he coughed twice at the right time.
Shen Shijiu clenched his fist and looked at Pei Zheng with determination, "Brother Pei, I'll help you change it now! I can do it!"
Shen Shijiu walked to the table, stood in front of Pei Zheng, and reached out to help him take off his black robe.
"Left hand."
Pei Zheng cooperated by raising his left hand.
"Right hand."
Pei Zheng raised his right hand again in cooperation.
"Stand up."
Pei Zheng stood up obediently.
Shen Shijiu untied the belt around his waist and put his hands around his waist as if he was hugging him.
Pei Zheng stood there enjoying himself, the pair of soft little hands moving back and forth on his body all the time. Why didn't he feel that the servants were so intimate when helping him to put on clothes before
The outer robe was taken off. In such cold weather, Pei Zheng was only wearing a thin white undershirt. Now that it was soaked, the lines of his body were faintly visible.
Shen Shijiu stopped moving immediately, his hands moving up and down, not knowing where to put them, not knowing what to do next.
Pei Zheng suddenly grabbed one of his hands, opened his palm, and slowly placed it on his chest.
Through the thin clothes, I could feel the warm skin underneath and the sound of my heartbeat, one after another, short and powerful.
Shen Shijiu moved his fingers and Pei Zheng let him go.
"Brother Pei, do you have strength in your arms?"
"No." Pei Zheng lied without blushing or beating his heart, "I still feel a little cold."
Shen Shijiu quickly took off his underwear, "Then I'll help you take this off too."
As he spoke, the inner laces were untied.
Shen Shijiu took a deep breath, then lifted Pei Zheng's underwear from his collarbone, and then deftly took off his shirt.
The muscle lines and textures on Pei Zheng's body are clear and distinct. Normally, you can't see anything when he wears a robe, but in fact, his body underneath the robe is full of thriving power.
Shen Shijiu didn't dare to look at the naked Pei Zheng, and stammered, "I... I'll go get... some clean clothes..."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run away, but someone grabbed a corner of his clothes. He pulled it back with a little force, and the little guy fell into his arms.
"Throw yourself into my arms?" Pei Zheng chuckled, with one hand still on the little guy's slender waist.
"It was Brother Pei who pulled me..."
Pei Zheng leaned close to his ear and gently touched the red earlobe with his lips, "If I don't pull you back, do you know where your clothes are? Hmm?"
“I… I…” Shen Shijiu’s little head had already turned into a mess, and he kept saying “I” for a long time but couldn’t say anything.
"Besides, your pants haven't been taken off yet."
Shen Shijiu's originally fair little face suddenly turned red. The redness was visibly visible even through the mask, so the little face under the mask must be so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out.
Pei Zheng's eyes were full of smiles. He pulled the dazed Shen Shijiu back to the table and sat him down. He couldn't help but pinch his soft face.
"How can you be so cute?"
Then Pei Zheng walked to the bedside where his clothes were and dressed himself.
Shen Shijiu sat obediently at the table, his arms resting on the table, his hands on his cheeks, breathing in and out continuously to calm his erratic heartbeat.
In fact, he didn't understand anything about the pleasures of sex, but some things are like human instinct. Even if he has never experienced it, he would blush, have an uncontrollable heartbeat, and feel dizzy.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was Wei Yiren's voice.
"Master Pei, Master Pei?"
Pei Zheng was still tying his laces slowly and had no intention of paying attention to the knock on the door.
Shen Shijiu moved very slowly to the door and opened it.
"Master Pei..."
The gentle smile on Wei Yiren's face suddenly changed, "Why is it you? Where is Master Pei?"
"The master is getting dressed," the blush on Shen Shijiu's face had not completely disappeared, and her beautiful eyes were shining brightly, as if she had just done something.
"Then I'll wait for the adults to come out."
"Just tell me, and I'll tell the adults."
After hearing this, Wei Yiren decided not to talk to him anymore.
Pei Zheng just happened to come out of the room and stood behind Shen Shijiu, very close to him.
"What's up?"
A cold and distant tone.
Wei Yiren pinched her sleeves. Pei Zheng didn't look so cold when he was talking to Shen Shijiu in front of him.
"Yes." She deliberately glanced at Shen Shijiu, meaning that someone was not convenient to talk here.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zheng not only did not let Shen Shijiu leave, but also touched his head, put his hand on his head, and looked up at Wei Yiren lazily.
"This is my man, let's talk."
Lord Pei's people? Wei Yiren found it very strange. Isn't this General Zhao's people
But she still explained her purpose.
"Master Pei, we are going to the Lakeside Villa today, you must be careful."
Pei Zheng raised his eyebrows. He could tell at a glance that Wei Yiren liked him, but what did she mean by that
Seeing Pei Zheng's complicated look, Wei Yiren was afraid that he didn't believe her, so she said anxiously, "Master Pei, I won't lie to you. I don't know the details, but it's better to believe it than not, right? Please believe me, I won't harm you, you..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Lord Wei walking towards her from the end of the aisle.
While Pei Zheng and Shen Shijiu were staying in the room, everyone else had already boarded the cruise ship.
"Yiren, what are you doing here? Your mother is looking for you everywhere, why don't you go!"
"Yes, father."
Wei Yiren lowered her head and walked away obediently.
Lord Wei bowed to Pei Zheng and said, "Lord Pei, I didn't make good arrangements today and frightened you. It's all my fault. Please punish me, Lord Pei." Pei Zheng turned his eyes slightly and glanced at Wei Yiren who was leaving.
"How is General Zhao?"
"General Zhao has already gone back to his room to rest, so he should be fine."
"And the little servant?"
Lord Wei paused. He really didn't care about the servant who fell into the water. "This... should have been arranged to go down as well."
"Should?" Pei Zheng smiled. "The person rescued by General Zhao himself, do you think he would be an ordinary person?"
Lord Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and looked extremely embarrassed.
"Your Highness, I understand. I will send someone to check it out right away. Lord Pei, please have a good rest. We will probably reach the Lakeside Villa in another hour. I will not disturb you any more."
After saying this, Lord Wei left with a complicated expression.
Pei Zheng retreated back into the room, pulled at the back of Shen Shijiu's collar, and tried to pull him back.
Shen Shijiu held onto the door frame and looked at Pei Zheng and said, "Brother Pei, you are okay now, right? Then can I go see Ah Yue? He just fell into the water and fainted. I am very worried about him..."
Pei Zheng not only did not let go, but exerted more force, "Who said I'm fine? I'm fine."
Shen Shijiu stared at him in disbelief, "But you are obviously very strong..."
Pei Zheng also stared at him, "Let go."
Shen Shijiu still held on to the door frame, "Brother Pei! I really want to go see Ah Yue! I'll just take a quick look and come back, okay?"
Pei Zheng really let go of his hand.
Shen Shijiu thought he agreed, so he happily let go of the door frame and ran out to the corridor.
Before he could take a step, an arm suddenly grabbed him by the waist, lifted him up, and gently carried the little guy back to the room and closed the door.
Shen Shijiu was hugged by the waist, his feet couldn't touch the ground, and he fell on the small bed after a dizzy spell.
He was just about to sit up when Pei Zheng, who was standing beside the bed, also climbed onto the bed, placed his hands on both sides of his body, and hung over him, holding him down tightly.
"Brother Pei, didn't you agree to let me go just now?"
"Did I say yes?"
Shen Shijiu pursed his lips in grievance, as if he hadn't said anything.
"Brother Pei, I don't know if Ah Yue is awake now. He is so pitiful. He has no relatives. I am his tenth brother. I said I would be his best friend. I am worried about him and want to go see him..."
Shen Shijiu spoke softly, looking at Pei Zheng with sincerity.
Pei Zheng felt so soft-hearted when he looked at her that he reached out and gently pinched his chin.
"I know, but you have to believe me, he will be fine, and he will be well taken care of now, so don't disturb his rest for now, okay?"
Shen Shijiu believed Pei Zheng, but he was obviously still a little worried.
"But, those people don't care about Ah Yue at all. Will someone bully Ah Yue..."
"No, Zhao Litang is protecting him."
Shen Shijiu pouted, "General Zhao wouldn't do that. He is so cruel to A Yue, not as gentle as he is to others. A Yue is so nice, but General Zhao always wants to drive him away."
Pei Zheng's lips curled up at his childish complaints, and he couldn't help but lower his head and rub his nose.
"You, little fool."
Shen Shijiu's face turned red as he was rubbed, and he whispered, "I'm not a little fool, I'm a little smart guy."
It was the first time Pei Zheng heard someone praising him like this. His smile deepened, and the dark gloom in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a starry sky in his eyes.
"Brother Pei..." Shen Shijiu stared at him without blinking and reached out to touch his brow bone.
You are really good looking.”
Pei Zheng pulled his hand over and kissed it on his lips.
This little fool likes good-looking people, otherwise he would not have fallen in love with Pei Zheng at first sight. Pei Zheng knew all this, so he wanted to use his beauty to charm the little fool.
“… Have I seen you before?”
Pei Zheng's body suddenly stopped.
"Before, when was it?"
Shen Shijiu thought for a moment, "Well, Brother Pei, do you know? My head is empty."
He pointed to his head and said, "Master said that I have lost all my memories. I don't remember my name, who I am, or why I fell off the cliff. Whenever I think about the past, I get a headache, so Master won't let me recall it anymore..."
"But, I always feel like I've seen you before, but I can't remember... Brother Pei, do you remember, have you seen me?"
Pei Zheng's breathing became disordered. He held Shen Shijiu's hand, and his eyes were filled with some emotion that covered up the original silver glow.
"So, do you want to remember the past?"
Shen Shijiu thought for a moment, "Well, actually I don't think about it that much now, because I have my master, Brother Pei, and A Yue now. If you were here, I wouldn't think about it, but you have to be here all the time."
Pei Zheng lay on the bed sideways, holding the little guy in his arms.
"I am here, and I will always be here."
I won't leave you alone anymore.
At this time, the cruise ship gradually stopped and had arrived in front of the pier of the lake villa.
Everyone on the boat was very happy and excited, and they all got off the boat.
This villa occupies the entire island in the middle of the lake. It is very large and the decoration inside is no worse than the residences of the rich and powerful in the imperial capital. In fact, the scenery is much more beautiful.
The owner of the villa was a woman, the younger sister of Lord Qian, and naturally also a member of the Queen's power. She brought out many servants from Lu Manor and stood by the pier to greet everyone.
—After the pedestrians exchanged greetings for a while, all the people on the cruise ship got off.
Pei Zheng and Shen Shijiu were the last to come down, following behind Zhao Litang.
When Shen Shijiu saw Zhao Litang, he called out softly, "General Zhao!"
Zhao Litang stopped.
Shen Shijiu came over and asked, "General Zhao, have you seen Ah Yue?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Litang looked unhappy and said coldly, "No."
Shen Shijiu said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhao Litang walked away, with only Wu Quan following behind him.
"Shi..." Yue Nu's voice came from the side. Shen Shijiu looked over and saw that Yue Nu was being held by Shen Huan, her face as pale as paper.
"Ayue, Master."
Shen Shijiu walked to the other side of Yue Nu and helped him.
"Master, what happened to Ah Yue? Is he okay?"
Shen Huan comforted him, "Don't worry, little disciple, it's nothing, he just caught a cold. Fortunately, he has been warmed up for a while. I will make some medicine for him to drink later."
After saying that, Shen Huan caught a glimpse of Pei Zheng who was standing aside with a bad look in his eyes, but Pei Zheng's look was not at all good.
"Alas, our little A-Yue is not like the other two. She is in such good health that she looks like nothing happened even after falling into ice water. Our little A-Yue must be taken good care of, otherwise no one will feel sorry for her even if she dies."
Shen Huan let Pei Zheng hear these words on purpose. No one knew what Pei Zheng and Zhao Litang were up to just now. They had a conflict between them and had to drag the innocent Yue Nu into it. Shen Huan was standing up for Yue Nu.
"Master, I feel bad for you. I feel bad for Ah Yue..."
Shen Shijiu clenched Yue Nu's cold hand. Her hand was covered with frostbite before, but it had been cured by Shen Huan later.
Yue Nu had no strength to speak, but after hearing what Shen Shijiu said, he felt his eyes getting hot and he wanted to cry.
When Shen Huan saw Pei Zheng's cold look, he felt that he had finally vented some of Yue Nu's anger. Although Yue Nu was not stupid, he was not much better than his little disciple. He always looked cautious and timid, which made people want to bully him.
No wonder General Zhao always scared him to tears.
Walk down the pier and enter the gate of the villa.
Four large characters, "Liuyun Villa", are engraved on the dignified and majestic white jade gate of the villa.
The owner of the Qian manor led everyone in and they had to pass through a dense forest before they could reach the pavilions.
But because of the cold weather, the trees in the forest were all bare, looking extremely bleak.
But who would have thought that after passing through the woods, a completely different scene would appear before our eyes.
Those exquisite and elegant pavilions are intricately located in the villa, and various winding corridors connect them together. The trees, flowers and plants here have not withered yet, and are lush and green like a colorful summer.
But the weather is still freezing cold, and I don’t know why these plants haven’t withered.
"Master Pei, General Zhao," the owner of the Qianzhuang called out, "This is the first time for the two distinguished guests to visit my Liuyun Villa, so I ordered someone to arrange the best pavilion for you to rest."
She then said to the other five adults, "My lords, you are old acquaintances of my Liuyun Villa. The pavilion you will stay in has been prepared. Please make some preparations and start the banquet on time in the evening."
Everyone looked very happy, and they dispersed with their servants and went to the pavilions where they lived.
Zhao Litang walked to Shen Huan and said something to her. Shen Huan nodded and followed Zhao Litang with Yue Nu.
Shen Shijiu naturally followed his master, but he thought of Pei Zheng, so he turned back to look for Pei Zheng, but Pei Zheng had already disappeared.
Shen Shijiu pursed his lips and turned his head back.
Zhao Litang lived in a two-story pavilion. When he opened the door, he saw that a charcoal fire had already been lit inside and it was very warm.
"General Zhao, we have sent the people to you. We will leave first."
Shen Huan threw Yue Nu to Zhao Litang and was about to pull his little disciple out of the door.
"Wait, Master Shen!"
Zhao Litang supported Yue Nu, who was standing unsteadily, with one hand, "Is he okay like this?"
Shen Huan waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay. He won't die. I'll make some medicine and send it over. He'll be fine right away after drinking it."
After saying that, the door was closed mercilessly.
Shen Huan pulled Shen Shijiu and started running.
"Master! Where are we going?"
Shen Shijiu was running out of breath.
Shen Huan said with great joy, "Disciple, let me tell you! Do you know what I saw in the woods just now?"
"No, I don't know. Master, please run slower!"
Shen Huan stopped and said, "It's the Shensha grass! I've been looking for it for a long time and couldn't find it. I didn't expect to see it here!"
"Magic Sand Grass? What can it be used for?"
Shen Huan looked at his little disciple and pointed at his head, "It can restore people's memories."
"But Master, aren't we going to make medicine for Ah Yue?"
Shen Huan pulled him and started running again, "The cold is not as serious as your illness."
As the two men were running, they saw the forest right in front of them, but suddenly a few people who looked like servants appeared and stopped them.
"What are you two doing? You are not allowed to enter this forest!"
Shen Huan said anxiously, "Why are we not allowed to come in? We just walked out from inside. I went in to find something and will be out soon!"
But the servants still stopped them from entering.
"The owner of the manor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter this forest without permission unless the owner himself leads someone through it. Otherwise, the manor rules will punish you!"
After hearing this, Shen Huan stopped trying to force her way in. She stared at these strange servants, not knowing what she was thinking. Then she pulled Shen Shijiu away.
.
Shen Huan went alone to find a place to boil medicine for Yue Nu, and Shen Shijiu asked about Pei Zheng's residence, and then came to the pavilion where Pei Zheng lived alone.
This pavilion is three stories high and is obviously the best one in the entire villa.
Shen Shijiu stood in front of the door and knocked gently.
"Brother Pei, I'm ten."
No one answered.
Shen Shijiu knocked again, "Brother Pei, are you in there? Brother Pei?"
The door was suddenly opened and Shen Shijiu smiled, but when he saw the person standing in front of him, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
"Wei, Miss Wei..."
Wei Yiren stood in front of the door, looking at Shen Shijiu with contempt, a hint of smugness on her face.
"It's you again, who did you call just now?"
"I, I'm looking for an adult..."
Wei Yiren smiled with an ambiguous tone, "My Lord is very busy right now. Just tell me if you have anything to say and I will pass it on for you."
Shen Shijiu's eyes dimmed, "I, I'm fine."
