Chapter 22 On the Thick Skin

Translator: ZoeWang

Lin Qingye’s eyes were a little flickering. Not knowing from when, he didn’t hate Ke Ruan as he used to. Actually, he used to be the crown prince’s tutor. When the emperor asked him to protect Ke Ruan, he wanted to reject but he couldn’t.

That was the order from the emperor. It was no use to refuse. Yet, looking at the arrogant prince, he couldn’t help despising him.

However, since he got rid of those bad habits, Lin Qingye started to think that he was not that incurable.

Ke Ruan asked with doubts, “Really?”

Lin Qingye nodded.

Behind the door stood Si Yuhan. He had been standing there since Ke Ruan came near, struggling about inviting him in or not. Then Lin Qingye came, disrupting his thoughts.

He heard clearly that Ke Ruan came to invite him to go shopping. He felt disdain for him. After all, Ke Ruan was the prince of the Red Flame County. There was nothing he didn’t already have, so did he need to go shopping himself?

However, he couldn’t help but look forward to it. He still remembered what Ke Ruan said that day, “When we arrive at Yuliang County, I’ll buy you anything you want. ”

He wondered if Ke Ruan still remembered his words. Maybe that was why he came to bring him to the streets.

It was all Lin Qingye’s fault, who came at a wrong time. Otherwise, Ke Ruan would have already knocked on his door.

Ke Ruan of course respected Lin Qingye. Very much actually. But that didn’t mean he liked to spend time alone with him. Lin Qingye made him feel stressed out.

He hesitated a bit, trying to remain a calm look.

But since Lin Qingye had already asked, how could he refuse him?

Suddenly the door beside them was opened, revealing a young yet gloomy face.

A look of happiness flashed across Ke Ruan’s face, almost breaking his calmness. He wanted to ask Si Yuhan to go out, but he felt this could be a little awkward, so he just stood there without saying a word.

Si Yuhan felt his palms were sweating.

“Well… Han. We’re going to the street. Do you want to go?” After a brief silence, Ke Ruan asked him eventually.

He shouldn’t care about anything more than leaving a good impression on the leading character to save his life in the near future.

“Okay!”

There was no emotion in Si Yuhan’s voice at all. But to Ke Ruan, he was an angel. Ke Ruan smiled, took his hand and said, “Then let’s go together.”

Lin Qingye nodded and followed those two. With every step, he felt more and more surprised. Ke Ruan used to hate Si Yuhan so so much. If he were Si Yuhan, he would never ever forgive Ke Ruan for what he did to him.

So, why? Why they suddenly became best friends?

Si Yuhan looked at Ke Ruan’s fair-skined hand, which was holding his. He felt heat instantly spreading from there to his heart, his blood began to boil.

He clenched his teeth. There was a faint of cruelty flashing across his eyes.

It was a beautiful night in Yuliang county. The lights were shinning, under which crowds of people poured into the streets. Ke Ruan were wandering. He subconsciously clenched his fingers. He bent down to be closer to Si Yuhan and said, “Be careful. Stay with me.”

He held his hand tightly, which made it pretty hard for him to get lost.

Lin Qingye and Ke Ruan both looked handsome. Although Lin Qingye was a general, there was something graceful and elegant about him. After so many years’fighting on the frontier, there was nothing that could break his strong heart.

One was gentle, the other was strong. Weirdly, there was nothing strange about them standing together.

Yuliang County was a place were people were still pure and innocent. Women were allowed to go anywhere they want. Since they came out, there were many pretty girls who were peeking at them shyly.
