"Your Highness, are you really not going back?" asked Aunt Su.
"Let me think about it again..."
Aunt Su stopped persuading her. After all, she was just a protector, and Ye Liuli needed to make decisions on many things by himself.
"Mother Su, you said that there is no point in hiding it like this. Why not take this opportunity to tell him clearly." Ye Liuli seemed to have made a decision.
"That's fine."
…
"Your Highness, why are you here?" Luo Xing was shocked when he saw Ye Liuli and Aunt Su. Although his place was not a secret.
But someone who shouldn't have appeared here actually appeared, how could he not be surprised? (Actually, Ji Yu'er and Hei Zhongling teamed up to hide the news. In fact, just when Ye Liuli appeared, Ji Yu'er discovered her existence. As for Hei
Zhong Ling, it all depends on her mood.)
"Luojing City is so big, can't I come here?" Ye Liuli took out the key and opened the door of Luo Xing's Tofu Courtyard.
"Why does Your Highness have the key to my house?"
"Why, can't you hear my voice?" Ye Liuli changed her voice and asked in a very unfamiliar male voice.
"Your Highness, are you that Huang Silang?" No matter how arrogant Luo Xing was, he could tell at this moment that this was the voice of the "Huang Silang" who rented his own yard.
"Yes, I am Huang Silang!"
"Your Highness, why do you, a royal nobleman, spend money to rent a shabby little courtyard like mine?" Luo Xing was also full of doubts.
"You are planning to move some of your things, right?" Ye Liuli asked.
"Um."
"You don't plan to keep this yard?"
"I may not live in it anymore, but I have no plans to sell it. No matter what happens in the future, there must be a way out." Luo Xing explained, "Your Highness hasn't answered my question yet, why did you rent my small courtyard?
"
"You are all outside and are not allowed to come in." Ye Liuli ordered Wu Jiong and others, then called Luo Xing and walked into the house.
In the study, there is no change from the one Luo Xing moved out, except that some women's daily necessities, furniture, etc. are added. Even the location is exactly the same. It is even cleaner than when he was there. Except for the faint smell of books, there is no trace of it.
No odor at all.
It seems that she has protected this place very well and is a very quality tenant.
"Luo Xiaoqi, do you still remember that ten years ago in the Nanya secret camp, there was a little girl who always followed you and didn't like to talk?" After lighting the lamp and taking a seat, Ye Liuli asked slowly.
"Little clingy person, Your Highness, you are not that clingy little girl..." Huge waves surged in Luo Xing's mind, and memories poured out like a tide.
No wonder he always felt that Princess Ye Liuli's attitude towards him was different from others. It turned out that this was the problem.
"Brother Xiao Douzi, I finally see you again!"
Ye Liuli's "little pocket" brother instantly brought Luo Xing back to those difficult and painful childhood years. Even though as a time traveler, he has a mind and perseverance that ordinary children do not have, but that time was very difficult for him.
He said that he didn't really want to recall it.
Ye Liuli's eyes filled with tears.
"Little sticky man, no, Your Highness, let me explain, why were you sent to be with us? The Nanya secret camp is not a place for royal nobles like you to come?"
"It's a long story. I'll tell you slowly later. In addition to the training mission of my master, I also wanted to find you when I went down the mountain. If you hadn't secretly given me food and encouraged me not to
If I gave up, I might not be able to reach this point." Ye Liuli said, "It can be said that even after I left the secret camp, every word you said encouraged me not to give up and to become a brave and responsible person.
Men and women can hold up half the sky."
"Have I ever said such a thing?"
"You may not remember, but I remember every word you said to persuade me." Ye Liuli said very seriously.
"Yes, really..." Luo Xing murmured. Maybe because the other party was a little girl and there was no one to talk to. Anyway, she didn't like to talk at the time, so she became the target of his talk. After all, she was a cruel person in the secret camp.
It's not easy to have someone to talk to in a place like this.
"Your Highness has stayed in the secret camp for less than half a year, right?"
"Five months and seven days, then my master took me to Tianlan Sect." Ye Liuli nodded.
"I also said, why did you leave suddenly, without even saying goodbye, which made me think you were..." Luo Xing sighed.
Once there are children in the secret camp who fail the stage assessment, some will be given a chance to take the assessment again, and some will be sent away directly, but no one will know where they are going.
Even the director of the secret camp cannot grasp the secrets involved in cultivating espionage talents in the secret camp.
Children, how much they can think about, will soon be tortured by the heavy training and forget it.
In the end, only he and another child in their group passed all the assessments and became a trainee secret agent. Of course, his grades when he left the camp were not good and he was ranked in the middle and lower reaches. He stayed in Luojing because of his poor grades.
, if things were better, he might be sent abroad.
The one who was in the same group as him was sent to Nanchu, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Once Ye Liuli's identity was exposed, a lot of things made sense. For example, when she and Qingyi followed them out of the ghost market for the first time and helped them, and later in the Zhenwu Academy, she even took care of him.
I want to introduce him to the Tianlan Sect.
If she hadn't brought him and Qingyi together, everyone would have doubted whether Ye Liuli had fallen in love with him. There is no such thing as love without a reason in this world.
Now I understand, it turns out that Ye Liuli is an old childhood friend from ten years ago.
"Your Highness, I was also a child back then, and I did some things based on my heart. It's not a favor, so don't take it to heart."
"Show kindness without expecting anything in return, brother Xiao Douzi, I really saw you right." Ye Liuli praised.
"Your Highness is so complimentary." Luo Xing said hurriedly, "I think Qingyi should also know about it, right?"
"Don't blame her. I didn't let her tell you. I found out your identity, but I don't know what you have become now, so I hid it. Too many things happened later, and I also
I didn't think about how to confess to you, so I delayed it."
"So, I can't hide it anymore?"
"If you don't return to this small courtyard today, you might be able to hide it for a while." Ye Liuli said frankly, "So, I don't plan to hide it anymore."
"It's understandable. After ten years of not seeing each other, no one can guarantee what kind of person your former friend will become. You are also a princess, and you have power that ordinary people don't have. If he takes advantage of the favor and repays it, you will be very embarrassed.
, it would be ungrateful to refuse, but if you are coerced by kindness and you are unwilling to do so, it will be really difficult." Luo Xing spoke for Ye Liuli.
"Brother Xiao Douzi, don't you blame me?"
"Why should I blame you? If it were me, I would do the same thing. Even if it is to repay a favor, I must have my own principles and bottom line." Luo Xing said.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. In fact, if each of us is a passer-by in the other's life, there are some things that don't need to be so fussy. If I help you, others will help me. Only in this way can the world be harmonious and loving.
" Luo Xing said.
When he said this, he felt that his soul was suddenly sublimated and his image became taller.
If you don’t pretend now, when will you wait?
"Then from now on, when there are no outsiders, can I call you brother Xiao Douzi?"
"No, Your Highness, we are all adults. Isn't it good to just let the past remain in our memories? It's good for us to be friends now."
"You mean we are friends, right?"
Luo Xing nodded. He was not a selfish person, but sometimes, he still resisted having a close relationship with powerful people, especially when the other party still had a special status.
Especially when he knew that the other party might be investigating the prince's rebellion twenty years ago, he didn't want to get involved.
Being involved in such a thing, his little arms and legs might be shattered into pieces before the truth could be found out.
However, in the current situation, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. Whether Ye Liuli was intentional or not, based on their current relationship, they were already involved.
Thinking of this, he didn't know whether to blame her or not.
I'm afraid that it was because of Ye Liuli that he came into the eyes of Nanya's senior officials. This person cannot enjoy the benefits but fails to fulfill his obligations.
Investigating the cause of death of his parents is Ye Liuli's legitimate right as a child, and the danger it brings is not that Ye Liuli intentionally harms people, but those who are afraid of the truth being revealed.
If something cannot be avoided at all, it is better to accept it calmly. At least, so far, Ye Liuli has not used it for selfish reasons.
Healing Liu Zhimei counts as one, but it is also the duty of a doctor to treat illnesses and save people. This is not considered use.
Using it was to achieve her own ulterior purposes without the other person's knowledge. She told him frankly.
If she really doesn't want to go, she probably won't be able to force it.
After all, it was his own curiosity that drove Liu Zhimei to wonder what kind of disease Liu Zhimei had, and so many Qihuang sage hands could not cure her disease.
"Brother Xiao Douzi, do you want to move everything here?"
"It's just some of my personal belongings, such as the books I hand-copied in the study, some kitchen tools that I use conveniently, and a jar of wine that I have privately collected under the study."
"I haven't finished reading these manuscripts of yours yet. I want to read them all again. I didn't expect that you would find out my identity so quickly."
"Actually, I didn't discover it, His Highness took the initiative to inform him."
"Brother Xiao Douzi, can you leave me a room in your house in Pingkangfang?" Ye Liuli suddenly asked.
"Why did Your Highness say this? Don't you have a place to live in Luojing City?"
"I want to have a space of my own."
"Your Highness can have his own space in my home?" Luo Xing understood what Ye Liuli was thinking, but what was wrong with her, a great princess of Zhou, living in her own home?
"Just tell me if you can leave a room for me."
"If I refuse, His Highness seems to be able to do it, right?" Luo Xing said bitterly.
"Then it's settled, when you settle down there, I'll move there with you," Ye Liuli said.
