Chapter 286: This Was the Truth of That Year

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Ruan enjoyed the transient warmth for the moment and wanted to reach out his hand to hug him, but when he was doing it, it hurt a lot.

Hearing Ke Ruan’s cry in pain, Si Yuhan looked down at him and said anxiously, “What’s wrong? Is your wound hurting again?”

Ke Ruan shook his head. “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

Si Yuhan gently knocked his head on the top of Ke Ruan’s head. “You’re so silly.”

Ke Ruan sighed, “Would you stop saying such campy and self-important words?”

Si Yuhan chuckled, “I miss you so much.”

Ke Ruan’s nose twitched, “I miss you too.”

There wasn’t much to say between the two of them. They just stayed quietly like this only with a deep warmth and transient peace instead of any lust.

Ever since they returned to the barracks, Lin Qingye had been waiting for them outside of Si Yuhan’s tent. Qi Cheng sighed, “Brother Qingye, you have been standing here till now. Why are you still unwilling to face the reality?”

Lin Qingye said calmly, “You think too much. I’m here just in order to know about the injuries of Mr. Ke.”

He also wanted to completely confirm from Si Yuhan that this person would really treat Ke Ruan well.

Qi Cheng didn’t say anything else but he didn’t leave either. He just stood half a step away and looked at him.

The evening progressed. At this time, Si Yuhan just threw back the flap and saw Lin Qingye standing outside. But he didn’t feel surprised at all.

Lin Qingye raised his eyes to look at him. “Is… is Mr. Ke okay?”

Si Yuhan said, “It’s not your business.”

Ke Ruan belonged to him.

Lin Qingye chuckled, “Si Yuhan, I’m actually quite unwilling. I had been always with him since I was young. As for you, you have been protected by him from the beginning. Sometimes I really wonder if he wanted to make up for something of him because he thought about everything he had done to you before.”

Si Yuhan looked at him without saying anything.

Lin Qingye continued, “For the first time, he wanted to send you away. Although I didn’t quite understand, I was actually a little glad. Later, I started to doubt his feelings for you, so when the former Emperor wanted to send you away, I came forward. At that time, he actually disobeyed the orders of the former Emperor in the imperial palace in order to keep you staying.”

Lin Qingye wanted to make everything clear in his heart. A long time ago, he didn’t understand what kind of feelings he had for Ke Ruan. It was only when he saw Ke Ruan who was so excited for Si Yuhan in the imperial palace that he just understood.

Therefore, he wanted to be selfish once and let his dark thoughts come true once.

“I thought I’d send you away and been accompanying him. He could slowly understand my feelings for him, but he never had.”

He thought that Ke Ruan was slow, so he was willing to wait. No matter how long, he could wait for him. Until Si Yuhan appeared, it turned out that he was not too slow, it was only himself who couldn’t meet the right one.

“What did you say?” Si Yuhan’s eyes suddenly turned stern. “It wasn’t Ke Ruan who wanted to send me away that year, right?”

Lin Qingye looked at him. This was the first time he had seen Si Yuhan snapped, who was eager to find an answer.

He suddenly felt at ease in mind, and a great burden had been cast off his heart finally. “It was the crown prince at that time who treated you so well that so many high-ranking officials used this as an excuse to stump him in the imperial court. The only way for him was to send you away.”

Si Yuhan’s body stiffened and he stared at him, being afraid that he would miss anything that he said

“He could have kept you staying, but the crown prince at the time was too resistant to sending you away, which made the former Emperor suspicious. You need to know that he was the only prince in Red Flame Country and what responsibility he was carrying was related to the entire Red Flame Country.”
