How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 336 Extra - Modern Times 12

In the evening, Shen Yuan took Xie Chengze, who had been playing all day, back to the B&B.

With the Shen Yuan brand hot pack, Xie Chengze didn't feel cold at all. He was excitedly planning what to do tomorrow. But after getting off the car, he found a lot of transparent and clean ice cubes placed at the door of the homestay.

"Did Aunt Ning order it?" Xie Chengze turned around and asked Ning Wuhen.

Ning Wuhen shook his head.

"I ordered it." Shen Yuan pulled his hand, obviously dissatisfied with him for asking Ning Wuhen first.

"Why did you order this?" Xie Chengze looked at the ice cubes, then rubbed his chin, "Don't blame me for misunderstanding, I thought if you prepared it, it would probably be..."

There were rose ice cubes and other things all over the floor.

Anyway, ever since coming to the modern era, Shen Yuan always likes to do something high-profile.

For example, he missed Hyundai's birthday because he saved "Shen Yuan". When Shen Yuan knew about it, he wanted to make up for his birthday. He even contacted the property management of the community directly and planted crabapples all over the community, and hung red strips on them with Shen Yuan's wishes.

I hope Xie Chengze lives a long life.

I hope Xie Chengze will stay young forever.

I hope Xie Chengze gets what he wants.

"It's obviously my birthday, why are all the wishes above made by you?" At that time, Xie Chengze asked Shen Yuan speechlessly.

"Because every time Your Highness makes a birthday wish, it's not for yourself."

Therefore, Shen Yuan deprived Xie Chengze of the right to make a birthday wish.

Shen Yuan was right. Xie Chengze’s birthday wish that time was not for himself.

The wish he wanted to make was that Shen Yuan would be happy and healthy in this life.

And himself...

I already feel very happy.

So, he thought that if Shen Yuan prepared a surprise for him, he would probably make a big fuss about it instead of just buying a few ice cubes.

"It seems that Your Highness has been in the 'dream' for too long and has forgotten what I originally looked like."

Shen Yuan looked at Xie Chengze with cold eyes.

Xie Chengze immediately lowered his head guiltily.

Shen Yuan walked into the house and soon took out a few tools. He placed his slender fingers on the ice and smashed the ice-chiseling tools on the ice again and again. Soon a rough outline emerged.

"Oh, you look small, but you can chisel ice?" Ning Wuji leaned lazily against the door frame, crossed his arms and said to Shen Yuan, "What are you chiseling, a dog?"

Shen Yuan raised his eyelids calmly, "There are already enough dogs here, why would I chisel another one?"

Ning Wuji:???

Is he implying that he is a dog?

"Come on, Xiao Jindou, let him chisel here! Let's go into the house to warm up, and I'll peel some fruit for you~" Ning Wuji put his arm around Xie Chengze's shoulder and said nonchalantly.

Xie Chengze shook his head, "No, I'll accompany him."

"...Okay." Ning Wuji shrugged and didn't force it. "I'll go in and get you a hot water bottle."

At the door, Xie Chengze sat on a small stool, supporting his chin with his hand and watching Shen Yuan carving ice cubes.

As the ice gradually took shape, it slowly evoked Xie Chengze's long-lost memories.

That morning, in Qianjin Village, he finished eating three dry steamed buns and walked out of the kitchen, and saw the rabbit ice lantern left by Shen Yuan at the door.

It was clearly just a casual remark, but Shen Yuan actually did it unexpectedly, so vividly that it dispelled all the gloom and pressure in Xie Chengze's heart.

At that time, there was only the ice lantern but no one. Xie Chengze thought that Shen Yuan was shy and was embarrassed to give it to him directly, so he used such a tactful way. When they met, Shen Yuan did not mention the ice lantern at all, so Xie Chengze tacitly did not speak.

Thinking of this, Xie Chengze couldn't help but become playful and teased, "Shen Lang, why didn't you give me the rabbit ice lantern yourself? Are you shy?"

Shen Yuan stopped carving the ice and looked up at Xie Chengze.

He hasn't called him Shen Lang for a long time.

When they first met, Xie Chengze called him Shen Lang only when he was provoking or teasing him. Later, he called him Shen Aiqing in front of others, called him Xiao Yuanyuan when he was happy, called him Shen Daqiang when he was unhappy, called him Shen Dad when he asked him to do something, and called him Surname Shen when he was doing that.

But in fact, what Shen Yuan likes most is that he calls him Shen Lang.

It feels like...a wife is acting coquettishly to her husband.

"If you call me Shen Lang again, I will tell you." Shen Yuan raised his lips and smiled wickedly.

Xie Chengze: "...Shen! Da! Qiang!"

"It seems you don't want to know." Shen Yuan shrugged, lowered his head and continued to carve the ice lantern in his hand.

Xie Chengze took a deep breath. His innate rebelliousness made him unwilling to compromise, but when he thought about getting Shen Yuan to admit that he was shy, he finally muttered, "...Shen Lang, that's enough."

Shen Yuan immediately raised his eyes, full of smiles, "Well, the answer is that at that time, His Highness was crying and calling Su Qinghe's name in the kitchen, and I was jealous."

Xie Chengze: ...

Xie Chengze:!!!

Ah - if I had known I wouldn't have asked!

"Su Qinghe only knows how to make some snacks, but Your Highness is obsessed with him and wants to promote him. I have been with Your Highness through so much, but Your Highness has never cared about me like this." Shen Yuan sighed deeply, "It's so sour, too sour."

Xie Chengze: “…”

Come again, come again.

"Go carve your ice lantern." Xie Chengze grabbed his hair and ruffled it, trying to end the topic quickly, "Be jealous."

"No." Shen Yuan whispered, his tone a little more aggrieved, "Who knows if you were so nice to Su Qinghe because you liked Shu Qinghe before."

Xie Chengze: ber? What does this have to do with Shu Qinghe?

Seeing Shen Yuan lowering his head and looking depressed, Xie Chengze realized belatedly, "You have been holding it in for half a year before you ask me this?"

Shen Yuan, don't start.

How could he feel comfortable asking about such things?

After all, in Xie Chengze's eyes, he is a powerful official with great power in the court and the protagonist who has lived through two lives, not a petty-minded man like Xie Jinyu who would get jealous to death over the slightest thing.

To use the words of the entertainment industry, he still has a heavy "idol burden" in front of Xie Chengze.

"Forget it." Shen Yuan lowered his head and used the chisel to knock on the ice. "It's all in the past. Anyway, you are mine now."

Xie Chengze tilted his head and looked at him.

In terms of emotions, Xie Chengze was indeed much slower than Shen Yuan. He really couldn't understand why Shen Yuan would still be afraid of Su Qinghe, who was no match for him at all, when he had been the same as Shen Yuan in his previous life.

So he could only hold his chin and watch Shen Yuan carving the ice lantern quietly.

And so, Xie Chengze watched the whole night.

It dawned on him.

It turned out that Shen Yuan carved the ice lantern all night long that day so that he could see the perfect and exquisite rabbit ice lantern when he woke up, which would make him feel better.

Xie Chengze thought he was just saying it casually, but for Shen Yuan, he cared about every word Xie Chengze said.

Shen Yuan, who was like this, went to Xie Chengze to surrender with great expectation, wanting to prove his true feelings to him and tell him that he could be relied on...

But he discovered that the person the young man wanted to rely on was not him.

How could it not leave a lifelong shadow?

Xie Chengze: I understand!

I finally figured it out!

This man loves me so much!
