Three years later, middle school, second grade.
The thirteen-year-old Luo Xiaolou has become more and more like the person Yuan met in the past. He is taller and thinner. Soft black hair, handsome face, more and more little girls' eyes have begun to stay on him.
However, Luo Xiaolou, who had been with Yuan Xi for a long time, didn't notice.
In fact, what bothered him was something else.
"Yuanxi, I want to take a bath by myself." Luo Xiaolou stood at the bathroom door to block Yuanxi.
Yuan Xi had already taken off his clothes, and walked in with the stunned Luo Xiaolou, "What's the matter? Besides, it saves water."
Yuan Xi said this, Luo Xiaolou frowned, but couldn't think of a rebuttal, privacy? Yuan Xi had already spoken, and there was no need for privacy between them.
The two are growing up day by day, which is really embarrassing. Well, although Yuan Xi's body is as interesting as his face.
However, just because he would look at Yuan Xi in a daze, he should take a separate bath, Luo Xiaolou thought embarrassingly.
"Should we sleep separately, after all, we are both very big." Luo Xiaolou said in the bathtub.
Yuan Xi glanced at him and asked calmly, "Who said something?"
"No, it's just—"
"It's fine if you don't have one. I'm used to it anyway. If you leave, I won't be able to sleep."
"During summer, don't you feel hot?" Luo Xiaolou tried to find an acceptable reason.
Yuan Xi looked at Luo Xiaolou, looked up and down, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Every summer you feel cold with the air conditioner." After that, Luo Xiaolou would shrink into his arms.
"Yeah, that's true..." Luo Xiaolou frowned, it was because the temperature Yuanxi set was very low every time.
Yuan Xi got up suddenly, moved to Luo Xiaolou's side, and covered him completely. Luo Xiaolou leaned his back against the wall of the bath, unable to retreat, his eyes widened involuntarily, he tried to look away from Yuan Xi's body, and looked around, his face blushed uncontrollably.
He felt that his whole body was getting hot, and he couldn't help but said, "You—"
"Xiaolou, why are you by my side?"
"Of course it's because I was chosen by you. I want, um, to protect you." Luo Xiaolou was distracted.
Yuan Xi laughed, squeezed Luo Xiaolou's thin arm, and said, "Is it just because of this?"
Luo Xiaolou fell silent, and after a while, he finally said, "You are very kind to me, although you are a prince, but to me..."
Luo Xiaolou took a peek at Yuan Xi, saw Yuan Xi's face was stern, but his eyes were bright, and he said, "To me, you are more like my family. In this world, I no longer have There are other family members."
Yuan Xi raised his hand to touch Luo Xiaolou's face, and asked, "Xiaolou, you... who is the most important person?"
Luo Xiaolou frowned, but replied without any hesitation, "It's you." It is undeniable that after knowing that he could not go back, Yuan Xi was always by his side, and he cared for him no less than his father and younger brother.
"do you like me?"
"certainly."
Yuan Xi tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and then said, "But you never said it."
Luo Xiaolou's face turned red. A boy of this age is not used to expressing his feelings. He murmured softly, "Does this still need to be said?"
Seeing such an awkward and youthful Luo Xiaolou, the love in Yuan Xi's heart almost overflowed.
He raised his hand and turned to Luo Xiaolou's face, "I want to hear it."
Luo Xiaolou frowned, although he was reluctant, he still responded to Yuan Xi's request, "You are my most important person, I... I like you, Yuan Xi."
Perhaps for thirteen-year-old Luo Xiaolou, this liking is very simple, but he has been by Luo Xiaolou's side all the time, and will turn his liking into love.
Yuan Xi hugged Luo Xiaolou, buried his head on his shoulder, unable to see his red eyes, after a while, he said hoarsely, "Me too."
Although Yuan Xi didn't say that sentence again, Luo Xiaolou became happy. Although Yuan Xi's relatives were all there, he was very moved by Yuan Xi's willingness to say this.
In the next two days, Yuan Xi and Xia Zuo had a new mission. Luo Xiaolou and Rhodes went to school together, and Luo Xiaolou was surprised to find that the students seemed to be busy, and many people secretly looked at him and Rhodes.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xiaolou asked suspiciously.
Rhodes smiled knowingly, "You will know in the afternoon."
Luo Xiaolou shrugged, Yuan Xi came back in the afternoon, and when the two of them came back, they probably had to go home early again.
When school was over, he did receive a call from Yuan Xi, and he hurriedly dragged Rhodes out.
As soon as he left the classroom door, a slender girl suddenly stopped him, "Xiaolou."
Luo Xiaolou looked at the person blocking him in surprise, "Qilan, what's the matter, do you have anything to do with me?"
For some reason, everyone around was also paying attention to this scene, especially many girls.
Qilan was wearing a sky-blue dress, and she looked even more elegant and beautiful. She lowered her head and hesitated for a while before handing over a small bag with a blushing face, "Here, this is for you."
After speaking, he turned and ran away.
Luo Xiaolou looked down and saw that it was a kind of chocolate that he liked very much. No wonder Qilan came to ask her specifically a few days ago if she wanted to give her a gift. It seemed that he had to prepare a gift in return.
Rhode watched Luo Xiaolou put it away strangely, and just about to remind him, he saw a black car parked in front of the two of them.
Luo Xiaolou and Rhodes got into the car, Xia Zuo slumped behind, and Yuan Xi was drinking red wine.
Luo Xiaolou was taken aback, "Is Xia Zuo injured? This training mission is dangerous?"
Xia Zuo raised his hand and patted him, and said with a smile, "No, only that idiot Rhodes got hurt, I'm just tired."
Rhodes immediately quarreled with Xia Zuo, and Luo Xiaolou was pushed to Yuan Xi's side by the two.
"Want a drink?" Yuan Xi raised the wine glass in his hand.
Luo Xiaolou looked at it curiously, and was very interested in trying it out, as he hadn't had a drink yet.
Yuan Xi smiled, and handed the half-drunk wine glass to Luo Xiaolou's lips, "Come and try."
After being fed a few sips of red wine, Luo Xiaolou licked his lips, "... not bad."
"Do you want more? Drinking a moderate amount of red wine is good for your health, and I'll pour you some more." Yuan Xi seduced without changing his expression.
After Rhodes and Xia Zuo had finished arguing, he realized that Luo Xiaolou was leaning on Yuan Xi with a smile on his face.
The two looked at each other, and Rhodes asked, "Drunk?"
Yuan Xi touched Luo Xiaolou's face and said gently, "No, it can only be considered half drunk."
Luo Xiaolou patted him unhappily, "I'm not drunk at all."
Rhodes and Xia Zuo: You are so small, how can you do it!
After dinner, Yuan Xi helped Luo Xiaolou back to his room.
Downstairs, Xia Zuo opened his eyes wide, "What, you said Luo Xiaolou received a love letter and chocolates?"
Rhodes shook out a dozen envelopes from his schoolbag, and said, "Well, I didn't block a few, anyway, Yuan Xi and Xiaolou are as close as glue, I think His Highness Yuan Xi will forgive him."
Upstairs, Luo Xiaolou took his schoolbag leisurely, "I remember there seems to be homework..."
Yuan Xi frowned, "I'll go to bed after I bathe you. Go to bed early today, don't worry about homework, anyway, tomorrow is the weekend."
Luo Xiaolou sat on the sofa, didn't listen, and Yuan Xi came over displeased.
But he saw the pink bag in Luo Xiaolou's hand, and he took it from Luo Xiaolou's hand.
Pulled out a box of exquisite chocolates and a light-colored envelope.
Yuan Xi's eyes narrowed instantly, he threw the chocolate aside, opened the letter and looked at it, and finally his face became more and more ugly.
Throwing the letter in front of Luo Xiaolou, but two seconds later, he quickly took it back, tore it up and threw it on the ground, and then pulled out Luo Xiaolou's schoolbag, and found three more letters inside.
With a livid face, Yuan Xi grabbed Luo Xiaolou's collar, "You, you dare to accept such things behind my back!"
The loud voice made Luo Xiaolou wake up from the wine, he looked down at the three letters exuding a faint fragrance, and said in panic, "No, I don't know about these, why are they in my schoolbag, I confiscated them— Yuan Xi, you, what happened to you?"
Luo Xiaolou looked at Yuan Xi's eyes that were gradually turning red in shock. There was rage and ferocity that he had never seen before, and Yuan Xi's hand holding him was also terribly strong.
Luo Xiaolou began to feel suffocated, he raised his hand to pull Yuan Xi's arm, but was grabbed by Yuan Xi and twisted back, Luo Xiaolou only felt a severe pain in his arm.
Luo Xiaolou yelled, trying to concentrate on explaining, "Yuan, Yuanxi, I confiscated those things, I don't know them at all—"
Yuan Xi tore up all the letters and threw them on the ground, then raised Luo Xiaolou's chin roughly, "What about Qilan? You knew that woman three years ago, and she even wrote because you saved her and fell in love with you." Three years? How dare you hook up with someone three years ago! Don't forget who you are!"
Luo Xiaolou felt that his jaw was about to be crushed, and he said quickly, "Yuan Xi, that's not the case, I don't like her! I never did!"
"Then who do you like?!" Yuan Xi suddenly shouted.
Luo Xiaolou's face turned purple from being strangled, and his struggle gradually weakened.
The next moment, Yuan Xi suddenly let go of him, raised his hand and smashed the desk in half, and finally opened the door and walked down.
Luo Xiaolou coughed violently, he huddled on the sofa, his mind was full of Yuan Xi's dark eyes and red eyes.
Why, why was Yuan Xi so angry
Who does he like... who does he like...
He is his own, so he cannot like others.
In an instant, Luo Xiaolou vaguely understood Yuan Xi's meaning, or rather, his feelings.
Apart from being shocked, Luo Xiaolou didn't feel any fear or nausea. He and Yuan Xi were so familiar that only each other was left in the surrounding space.
Or, he also felt secretly happy. In the past, such an outstanding and noble person liked him.
Luo Xiaolou's gaze fell on the communicator on his wrist. Today is February 14, Valentine's Day. Luo Xiaolou covered his face, his arm was in severe pain, probably dislocated.
This is really, the worst Valentine's Day ever.
The door was knocked several times, and Xia Zuo and Rhodes stood worriedly at the door.
Seeing his appearance, Rhodes exclaimed, "Xiaolou, what's wrong with you? Why is there a bruise on your face?"
Xia Zuo also frowned, and asked, "What's going on, Yuan Xi drove out, and the dark guard said he was out of their protective distance. Did you quarrel?"
Luo Xiaolou suddenly raised his head, moved his shoulders again, took a breath, and said with a wry smile, "No, Yuan Xi lost his temper."
Rhodes looked at the torn letters on the ground, and while treating Luo Xiaolou, he asked, "Because of these love letters?"
Luo Xiaolou lowered his head, humming unobtrusively.
"Don't talk about this, Xiaolou, you stay here by yourself. Rhodes and I went to find Yuanxi. It is easy for him to go out like this. Moreover, because of this mission, someone is chasing and killing Yuanxi. The situation is very serious now. Dangerous, we must leave immediately, don't worry, I will leave someone to protect you." Xia Zuo said.
Luo Xiaolou raised his head, his arm had already been bandaged by Rhodes, "Xia Zuo, let them all go find Yuan Xi, you know that our existence is to protect Yuan Xi. Besides, no one will pay attention to me."
Xia Zuo hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then quickly led Rhodes out.
Luo Xiaolou stayed for a while, and was about to get up, but saw several bottles of medicine falling out of the desk drawer that was smashed by Yuan Xi.
He picked it up casually, and looked at the name and effect of the medicine, but gradually his eyes widened.
Luo Xiaolou put the medicine on the table and rummaged through the drawer in a panic. This drawer has always been locked, and only Yuan Xi can open it.
Finally, Luo Xiaolou found a medical bill in a notebook. Yuan Xi used a pseudonym, but Luo Xiaolou saw Yuan Xi used that name before.
After a quick look, Luo Xiaolou's hands trembled.
Yuan Xi was indeed ill. The diagnosis and treatment was only three years ago, but the higher authorities judged that Yuan Xi's illness may have lasted longer. potion.
No wonder Yuan Xi almost killed someone a few years ago, but just now he attacked him out of anger.
