Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment before realizing what Xue Yan was talking about.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the wolf tooth had fallen into Xue Yan's hands. The color is mottled, but it reflects a matte luster under the light.
Jun Huailang felt guilty for no reason, and wanted to drag the wolf tooth back.
Since he put it on that day, he has never taken it off again, and it has gradually become a habit to wear it close to the body on weekdays.
But being discovered by the other party at this time made him inexplicably embarrassed.
Xue Yan's hands were wrapped, as if to play with him, he held the wolf tooth in his palm, but did not let him drag him away.
"Why didn't you show it?" Xue Yan chuckled in a low voice, insisting on the opposite of what he meant.
However, he had been in unrequited love for a long time, and he didn't think in many directions at all.
He was just happy because Jun Huailang wore the things he gave him.
But he didn't see Jun Huailang's reddish ears under the dim yellow light.
At this moment, Jinbao heard the movement in the room and hurriedly opened the door.
I saw inside the door, His Royal Highness was squatting beside the bed. The prince was so injured that he couldn't sit up. He stretched out his arm and pressed it on the back of his neck.
Jinbao: … .
As soon as his master raised his eyes, when those cold eyes shot at him, Jinbao knew that he was reckless.
He wanted to slam the door and escape immediately, but it was too late.
His Royal Highness hurriedly stood up and stuffed something back into the placket.
Jinbao: ? !
Now, he began to worry about whether he would be silenced.
At this moment, His Royal Highness turned around and spoke.
"Jinbao, you came just in time," he said. "Your Highness is awake, go and bring in his medicine."
After a pause, he continued: "Prepare some light meals."
Jin Bao responded and quickly turned around and ran out.
Bodhisattva is worthy of being a Bodhisattva. Even if he is pulled down from the altar by his master, he is still a good person with the number one in heaven.

That night, Jun Huailang accompanied Xue Yan after eating, and then stared at him and drank the medicine, and Xue Yan rushed back to rest.
He had woken up early the morning before, and by the time he returned to his room, the sky had begun to turn white.
In this way, he didn't sleep all day.
At this time, his spirit was relaxed, and his exhaustion rushed like a tide. Jun Huailang returned to his room and slept until the next afternoon.
After that, he stayed by Xue Yan's couch every day to take care of him.
Originally it was unnecessary, but he did not expect that Xue Yan would be so dishonest after being injured.
He was fine before he woke up, and could lie down on the bed obediently to sleep. But since he woke up, he felt that his lying position was aggrieved, making him breathless, and he had to sit up when he got the chance.
When Jun Huailang was away, there was only Jinbao, so naturally he couldn't suppress him. It was useless to plead, and he had to suffer Xue Yan's cold face.
Jinbao had no choice but to invite Jun Huailang.
Jun Huailang had to guard him every day.
With Jun Huailang around, even if Xue Yan thought it was uncomfortable to lie on his stomach, he didn't dare to make trouble.
"I've never seen flesh wounds raised like this." He scolded in a low voice. "If you want to be in Yan County, as long as your hands and feet are not broken, I can go to the battlefield in three days."
"What did you say?" Jun Huailang, who was sitting beside the couch, didn't hear clearly.
Xue Yan gritted his teeth, but his ruthless muttering in a low voice was completely relieved: "I don't do anything, just lie here, it's very boring."
Jun Huailang really didn't hear what he was muttering, and when he heard what he said, he also listened to his heart, just thought he was really bored.
After dinner that day, he asked Jinbao to bring the books brought by Xue Yan. He sat beside the bed and read and listened to Xue Yan.
This time, Xue Yan was completely appeased.
The book is not interesting, but Jun Huailang's voice is nice. Clear and lingering, with a clear and cold voice, but with a bit of indulgent softness.
Hearing that, Xue Yan's heart was itching.
So he kept it quietly for a few more days.
They stayed in Yangzhou for a long time, and the work to be done was finished a few days earlier. The people who came to Yangzhou this time included both the prefect and the Duke of Yongning, and even Xue Yan, who was specially sent by His Majesty, came, and Jinling was empty these days.
After such a long time, it is not a solution, so Shen Zhifu proposed that he planned to return to Jinling first.
His original intention was to let Xue Yan recuperate here and then go back, but after a few days, Xue Yan was able to go to the ground, and he was impatient to live in Yangzhou again, so he returned to Jinling with Shen Zhifu and his party.
Jun Huailang was still riding in the same car with him.
Jun Huailang was going to ride a horse, but Xue Yan just stopped him.
"The car is spacious, what are you riding for?" Xue Yan said confidently.
Jun Huailang said nicely, "Your Highness needs to rest in peace."
Xue Yan said: "I'm bored alone, you read to me."
These days, Xue Yan seems to have learned to be a rogue by relying on his injuries. Jun Huailang was also a little unable to resist. Hearing him say this, he couldn't refute it. He led him and got into the car together in a confused way.
Xue Yan gave Jinbao a look, and Jinbao immediately understood.
After the two got into the car, Jinbao sat down beside the driver.
"Hurry up, the lord recovers from his injuries and can't stand the bumps." He ordered slowly. "remember?"
Coachman Nono should be.

Xue Yan read mostly military books.
It was a habit he had developed since he was a child. Yan land was barren, and he grew up in a military camp. Apart from these, there were no other books for him to read.
Since he was a child, he used the military book as a storybook. After a long time, he has no interest in anything else.
The two got into the car, just like a few days ago, one read and the other listened, and there was a quiet atmosphere in the car.
But unlike in the past, there is no tea to drink in this car.
The road from Yangzhou to Jinling was a bit bumpy, and the small stove for making tea was placed on the car, which could easily ignite other objects. Therefore, on the way to Yangzhou last time, Jinbao removed the stove.
Xue Yan didn't really like to read, but just liked to listen to Jun Huailang's voice.
He used the excuse of reading to get the other party into the car, but he was not willing to let him read books for most of the day in a place where there was no water to drink.
Not long after, Xue Yan interrupted him.
"After you go back, will you come to me and read to me?" he asked.
Jun Huailang listened to his question, put down the book in his hand and looked at him.
Although Xue Yan was still lying on the bed of the carriage, it was different from the days before.
His arms were folded, his chin was padded, and his robes were neatly dressed. He looked lazy and relaxed, and didn't look like a wounded man.
His recovery ability is indeed very strong. Jinbao, who changed his dressing these days, also said that the wound has scabbed over, and it has healed a lot.
Therefore, from the beginning of these two days, Jun Huailang did not stop Xue Yan from sitting up occasionally or going down to the ground for activities.
Ordinarily, in his state, he no longer needs Jun Huailang to take care of him day by day, let alone reading books to relieve his boredom like before when he couldn't do anything.
Jun Huailang hesitated for a while, but did not speak.
According to his usual personality, it is enough to simply refuse. When he returned to Jinling, seeing that May had passed, he also had his own affairs to be busy with.
But at this time, he found that he could not say the words of rejection for a while.
...Because he had been with Xue Yan for a few days, he actually felt a little reluctant to give up.
He could always see his expression when he was reading, and the two of them often talked. This calm and quiet atmosphere made him a little reluctant and wanted to continue for a long time.
... In other words, he was not reluctant to bear this atmosphere, but Xue Yan.
Jun Huailang was startled by this realization, and the hand holding the book tightened slightly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xue Yan knew that he wanted to refuse.
Of course, I don't have to listen to him read, I just want to find an excuse to see him every day.
He has been a scoundrel of the past few days. Seeing that Jun Huailang didn't speak, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm lying on my stomach every day, and reading books takes a lot of my eyes. There are still a lot of official documents to send to me when I go back, why don't you help me? help me?"
Obviously an excuse.
Xue Yan was injured so badly, even if he felt that he didn't need to support him anymore, the prefect and Duke Yongning would not dare to trouble him with these trivial matters.
Jun Huailang knew that this was just an excuse.
But the excuse seemed to be made for him, which made him heave a sigh of relief.
"Okay." He smiled slightly and looked up at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan involuntarily followed with a smile.
He thought to himself, it was so annoying, how could this person be so good.
He has become more and more arrogant during this time, and it is all because Jun Huailang is used to him, otherwise, he would not have such courage.
Xue Yan has tasted the sweetness of being favored to some extent, and only feels that this injury is worth it, especially worth it.
With him, the wounded, the carriage on the return journey was extremely slow. Until it got dark, the group of people slowly returned to Jinling City.
When passing by the North City Gate, Jun Huailang glanced outside.
The official road by the dam is still surrounded and has not been repaired.
"What are you looking at?" Xue Yan's eyes were sharp.
Jun Huailang said: "Ah, nothing. It's just that I heard a while ago that the official way is being cultivated here, so I'll see how it goes."
Xue Yan sighed lightly when he heard the words: "I will urge them tomorrow. How can it be so unfavorable to build a road."
Jun Huailang hurriedly smiled to stop him: "It's only half a month, it's not too slow, so don't rush."
As soon as King Guangling opened his mouth, they were not allowed to quickly catch up with the construction period? At that time, it will cost the people and money again.
The two chatted for a while, and the carriage stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Fu Yi had been waiting here, and moved the footstool to get off the bus. Jun Huailang helped Xue Yan get out of the car, and went back to the two's residence with him.
When they reached their respective positions, Jun Huailang stopped and saw Xue Yan raised his arm and touched him lightly.
"Don't forget it tomorrow," he said.
Jun Huailang pursed his lips and nodded, and heard Xue Yan chuckle in a low voice.
The laughter seemed to burn the base of his ear.
When Jun Huailang returned to his room, he still didn't recover.
Fu Yi brought the tea to his hand.
Jun Huailang took a sip, and then ordered Fuyi, "Go and bring the box where I put the books."
He still remembered that there was nothing else in Xue Yan's place except the military book. In addition to the books used in the imperial examinations, he also had some travel notes, and he thought about finding two books and taking them to Xue Yan tomorrow.
Fuyi responded, and after a while, he led two servants to move the box in.
Jun Huailang put down the teacup in his hand and went to read the book.
He didn't even notice it, the corners of his lips raised slightly, his eyes were soft, completely different from his usual cold and quiet appearance.
Just when he was about to pick up a book, Fuyi suddenly whispered, "Young master went to Yangzhou this time, but who did he meet?"
"Huh?" Jun Huailang paused.
Fuyi smiled softly and said, "I always feel that the young master has encountered something good, or..."
He smiled half-jokingly: "Or met someone you like?"
Jun Huailang stopped while holding the book.
It was clearly just a joke that went over the air, but for some reason, the words "pleasant" scalded in his ear.
Hearing the happy person, what he thought in his mind was the low laugh from Xue Yan just now.
There are two uninhibited wildness in the low voice, and two unclear meanings in the smile, as if they have privately said something that cannot be kept secret for outsiders.
Obviously just going to read him a book for a few days...
Jun Huailang's heart was a little chaotic.
Holding the book, he pretended to be calm, and asked lightly, "A person who is happy? What is a person who is happy?"
Fu Yi was stunned.
I'm just joking, could it be true!
"It's just that you miss him every day and want to stay with him every day?" he said hurriedly. He has read a lot of scriptures, and he speaks in a straightforward manner. "As long as you stay together, you will be happy, and you will think of him in everything you do—the most important thing is that when the servant said that he was the one you were happy with, you were thinking of him!"
Jun Huailang let go, and the book fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a crumpled piece of paper fell out from a certain page in the book.
As if covering up something, Jun Huailang immediately leaned over to pick it up.
Then, his movements stopped.
It was a small piece of paper, neatly trimmed on one side and dog-toothed on the other, and it looked like it had been grabbed from a certain book.
The characters on the top are missing and underlined, so I can only barely recognize various meanings.
[Xue Yan's lips curled into a cold arc, and reached out and pinched her chin... ]
