Since Wen Mingyu’s odd state lately, Mu Zhan has been incessantly disquieted in his heart. He also felt an unfathomable sense of exasperation, like a fire engulfing him from head to toe, making him unable to feel at ease.
Mu Zhan’s lips tightened into a taut line as he was compelled to stare at Wen Mingyu. His gaze was like that of a searing sun.
Wen Mingyu felt his gaze, which seemed to have an existence of its own, and he couldn’t evade it at all.
After getting out of the pool, he proceeded to the hallway. When the two’s lines of sight met, Wen Mingyu jerked and instinctively wanted to retreat, as he sensed a whiff of threat.
He even gathered his lapels tightly against his chest, but when the fabric brushed against his skin, he suddenly became rigid.
…what’s just happened?
Wen Mingyu cast a discreet glance down at his chest. It was obviously not so delicate before. It was a very slight caress of cloth and was fairly supple and comfy with its exquisite material.
It was a bit embarrassing to bring it up.
Wen Mingyu quickly straightened his countenance and seemed not to be bothered, but it was obvious that his gait was a little stiff and disconcerting. He was nervous.
Mu Zhan found out.
Wen Mingyu attempted to walk past him, but Mu Zhan directly yanked him onto his lap. He smiled and said, “This one will help you with your hair.”
Wen Mingyu’s buttocks instantaneously clenched as soon as they were pressed against the warm, sturdy thighs, and there was also an intense onslaught behind that rushed to him, securely encasing him in his wine pheromones. It was as if he were submerged in a rushing flood, yet it was also impossible to fight back.
Just as Mu Zhan liked his pheromones, he had little fear of the scent of mellow alcohol. To prevent him from standing up, Mu Zhan snugly encircled his waist. However, in reality, he had no strength, and his legs had given up.
Wen Mingyu could only blush and behave, enabling Mu Zhan to assist in wiping his head of pitch black hair.

Wen Mingyu cocked his head to see whether everything was already done, but Mu Zhan gave him a light tug on the hair and inquired, “In the Imperial College, did anyone walk over you?”
Wen Mingyu stopped. The moment he started a question, he lost focus and was diverted.
The scene of returning from school and recounting what had transpired to his family was something he had always fantasized about.
Wen Mingyu’s eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth exhibited small dimples as he smiled quite sweetly, clearly extremely happy. He recounted interesting events that had occurred while he was at school to Mu Zhan.
He spoke highly of his classmates, praising their keen minds. He thought of many things he didn’t expect, saying that they are very young and maybe they will be the top scholars in the imperial examination. The single female student is exceptionally erudite. Your Majesty has made the right decision by allowing women to take part in the imperial examination and so on.
Wen Mingyu carried on to speak excitedly. A red haze blanketed his entire face, from his ears down to his neck. “The book I wrote has actually been read by them, and they really like it very much. When the last volume is released in two days, perhaps everyone will be eager to beat…”
He hesitated suddenly before ending his sentence. His face immediately chagrined in response to what he said, and he wished he could rewind time to change it. Mu Zhan was aware that he had written the story, despite the fact that he had never approached him about it. The last time Mu Zhan read his bone-explicit novel, it was so blatantly obvious that he wanted to dig himself a hole. Was he not now digging his own hole to bury himself?
He thought Mu Zhan didn’t look at it. He really didn’t want to describe the plot in case he was prodded to inquire as to what was written. It was fine when he wrote it, but this man’s mouth was inexplicably scandalous as he read it out loud. When he listened to his classmates discussing the plot, he had been toe-picking the ground.
But what Mu Zhan said caught him off guard. “I’m waiting for the end, too.”
In shock, Wen Mingyu whipped his head. “Your Majesty has also read it?”
Mu Zhan nodded.
“But I wrote the ending a few days ago. Why…” didn’t you ask me?
Subconsciously, Wen Mingyu wanted to ask.
“You didn’t offer it to this one,” Mu Zhan then said.
His eyes gazed sullenly at Wen Mingyu.
“You instead offered it to Wen Changlan.”
It was mixed with a bit of bitterness.
Wen Mingyu’s body tingled at the sound of it. He said with uncertainty, “I’m going to present it to Your Majesty now?”
Mu Zhan shook his head. “We’ll see tomorrow. It’s late. Time for bed.”
Wen Mingyu sighed with relief. He didn’t want Mu Zhan to look at it in front of him. Simply put, the shame was bursting.
Suddenly, as he was getting ready to stand up, Mu Zhan put his chin on his shoulder and remarked, “Very well penned.”
Then Wen Mingyu paused. Was he referring to his script? Praising him?
In the next second, Mu Zhan further affirmed.
“There are some reform approaches there that could possibly be enacted.”
Wen Mingyu jerked in surprise and nearly leaped to his feet.
“Really?!”
Although it was written in words, the author didn’t deliberately input his own thoughts, not to mention that this one too mostly centered on the dynastic struggle. Lessons he learned from scholar teachers and things he discovered around Mu Zhan were not merely for show.
Mu Zhan nodded at him. His hot breath grazed his ear, stirring up an unbearable itch. Wen Mingyu, however, was not in the mood to dwell on this. He was only thinking that what he wrote might come to fruition. In reality, he may actually make the lives of people better, so he couldn’t stop his excitement.
He was therefore highly lively, even though it was bedtime. He sat in bed, restless and unable to fall asleep. He was compelled to inquire about everything, and even rabbit ears had appeared.
Mu Zhan reached out and, with proficiency, mercilessly petted Wen Mingyu, making him wobbly and weak.
“You won’t be able to wake up the next day to go to school if you fail to get a rest.”
Wen Mingyu was aware as well; he just slightly lost control. His eyes, which were watery as he cocked his head, reminded him of a coquettish milky cat.
Mu Zhan moved and took him into his arms, pressing him close to his chest. “If you can’t get up, this one will carry you to court.”
Wen Mingyu yielded and stopped moving. His entire being was enveloped in the comforting scent of rich wine. He was enraptured and lightheaded, and soon after, he dozed off in an unmatched sense of security.
Mu Zhan noticed it, was motionless for a moment, and couldn’t resist giving Wen Mingyu’s nape a little bit of an angry pinch. After repeated encounters, he also realized that this was an extremely special spot for Wen Mingyu, although he had no idea what glands were. Wen Mingyu indeed curled up to hide as soon as he touched it, whimpering lowly as though pleading for mercy.
After feeling Wen Mingyu tremble, Mu Zhan pinched him twice more and stopped, stroking his hair to pacify him.
He stared at the person in his arms, remembering the report of the attendant. The junior of the Ye family rested his arms on Wen Mingyu’s shoulder and sat intimately with him at the same writing desk.
Mu Zhan felt irked at the thought of this.
But then, when he listened to Wen Mingyu recounting what transpired at school while grinning brightly and evidently enjoying himself, he didn’t want to spoil it.
…for the time being. If he ventured to engage in any unlawful behavior, he would dump Ye Xu somewhere.

Aw they’re getting so affectionate! I will be so patient until the next release. Funny thing, it’s actually easier for me to take a break from a story when the characters have gone to sleep, so that’s when I taught my kids to put down a book and go to sleep 😄. Otherwise we’re all inclined to stay up reading all night. See you next time!
