Chapter 200. Drowned In Vinegar
Arc 7 : Last Nightmare
However, this problem was exposed today, and it was solved just in time.
Du Yan raised his chin and motioned Cheng Yu to sit on the sofa.
In this mansion, he was originally a guest, but his manners were even superior to that of the host, Cheng Yu.
Of course, Cheng Yu, the owner of the mansion, has always indulged him. He knows that Prince Yan has been high and mighty since he was a child, and these characteristics will never change even if he becomes a ghost. Cheng Yu was happy to see such a Prince Yan and even wanted to change the name on the land deed directly.
Du Yan sat down opposite Cheng Yu and said directly: “I know you deliberately let yourself be captured tonight to test me. You are still upset about the arrow shot from the city wall.”
Du Yan only thought that Cheng Yu’s memory was incomplete. If he only remembered that fragment, it was normal for him to have some misunderstandings about himself.
Du Yan was not angry about this suspicion. He was angry that Cheng Yu actually used such a stupid method to test him. He has never been an adventurous person. He always plans carefully before doing anything.
Cheng Yu’s behavior of letting a criminal put the dagger on his neck was particularly unreasonable in his opinion.
Cheng Yu denied it, looking a little anxious: “Not at all, that arrow for me and you…”
At this point, Cheng Yu suddenly got stuck. His memory was not complete, mostly some vivid scenes. When he woke up, what he remembered most was the young man in the King’s clothes, standing on the city gate with a cloak and pulling the bowstring from a distance.
It snowed heavily that day, and the only thing between sky and earth was a touch of color in the distance.
After that, he forgot what he was thinking. He only knew that the man finally softened his heart and shot a sharp arrow that only broke his hair-binding jade crown.
Prince Yan is an excellent archer, and he can shoot through a target from a hundred paces away. Cheng Yu knows this, and the opponent definitely would not change his target because he was worried about missing the target.
Du Yan saw Cheng Yu stop talking and thought that Cheng Yu could not come up with a suitable excuse in a hurry. He smiled and said: “Some things between you and me should be discussed openly. There is no need to speculate secretly and add to the trouble.”
Seeing Cheng Yu’s expression slightly changed, he said directly: “The arrow shot from the city wall was to completely cut off our past.”
“That was in my plan. You were going to unify the world, but I was the biggest obstacle on your way to becoming emperor.”
Cheng Yu finally spoke up and said: “I know your purpose. You were afraid that I would do something stupid because of my feelings when we met in battle in the future.”
Du Yan smiled and said: “I will give you an arrow in exchange for your ruthless heart that belongs to an emperor. That’s what I thought at the time.”
Cheng Yu said seriously: “I know all this. Even if my memory is incomplete, I have never felt any resentment towards you because of that arrow.”
Du Yan saw that he was serious and didn’t seem to be perfunctory at all, and he felt even more puzzled: “Then why did you test me like this tonight?”
To Du Yan’s surprise, Cheng Yu fell silent. Then, he saw Cheng Yu’s ears slowly turn red, as if there was something he couldn’t say.
Du Yan didn’t want this guy to cause any more trouble, so he said forcefully: “You did such a stupid thing tonight, don’t try to get away with it in front of me.”
Seeing this, Cheng Yu could only sigh and whispered: “I’m jealous.”
If Du Yan had not been very confident in his hearing, he would have even suspected that he was hallucinating.
“Jealous?”
He blinked, finding it difficult to digest the word he heard.
Cheng Yu raised his head, with a desperate look in his eyes: “You were soft-hearted at that time. Under that situation, to cut off the past between us, you clearly shot me with an arrow so that you can pretend that you wanted to take my life.”
“……”
Cheng Yu is indeed still the Cheng Yu who could unify the world. Based on some memory fragments, he was able to infer the facts of that year to be almost correct.
Du Yan asked: “Since you know, then why…”
“You treat me special only because I am Cheng Yu’s reincarnation. Even if I die in front of you, you won’t have any emotional ups and downs. After all, it is all the same to you as long as I can be reincarnated.” Cheng Yu said: “That’s what I thought at the time.”
“?” Du Yan was completely speechless. What the hell is with this stupendous logic?
“Plus, at the banquet, those wealthy businessmen all wanted to introduce their daughters or meimei to you, and I lost control for a moment.”
Cheng Yu finished speaking in one breath, and seeing the indescribable look on Du Yan’s face, he understood what he said sounded like.
Du Yan was silent for a long time and finally spoke, with some uncertainty: “So, you are jealous of yourself?”
Du Yan thought that after saying something as ridiculous and stupid as being jealous of himself, Cheng Yu would change the subject or deny it.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu seemed to have completely disregarded his dignity at this moment and said: “Yes, I am jealous of myself. When I was dreaming, I completely put myself into the role of my previous life, as if I were the Cheng Yu who had experienced everything with you.”
“But after waking up, I felt that I was just watching a play between you and someone else, and I was just a bystander. This feeling lingered in my heart like a poison, and made me completely lose my mind tonight.”
Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said: “After all, all your memories and all your special feelings are given to Cheng Yu in your previous life.”
In this situation, if Du Yan were a sentimental and considerate person, his reaction would probably be to throw himself into the other person’s arms and express his feelings to comfort the other person.
However, Du Yan will always be the dream-eating beast with the most unique thinking that Xiao Ba admires.
He looked at Cheng Yu and smiled, a smile that looked extremely sweet, just like the first time they met in the snow.
“You want memories that belong to you alone? You want to see some kind of emotional fluctuations that I never had towards you in your previous life?”
Cheng Yu didn’t understand Du Yan’s intentions for a moment, nor did he discern the danger in his words. Instead, he was bewildered by his rare sweet smile and nodded blankly.
Du Yan stood up, his voice was like honey, and said: “There are things that I haven’t done with Cheng Yu in my previous life.”
After that, he hooked his finger at Cheng Yu and said: “Come here.”
Cheng Yu saw that he was smiling and whispered to him to come closer. Naturally, he had no ability to resist and came closer without hesitation.
Just when Cheng Yu was thinking about whether he could get a hug or even a kiss, Du Yan’s fist came towards him. The force was not too strong, but it knocked Cheng Yu in daze.
Du Yan succeeded in one strike and shook his hands lightly: “Get started. Due to my status, I have never thought of beating up the former Cheng Yu, and now this is your unique treatment.”
After that, Du Yan attacked again. Cheng Yu was just trying to resist, but Du Yan frowned and glared at him. In addition, the opponent’s skills were not much worse than his own, so he started to fight seriously.
The room was in a mess during the fight. Although the two of them had a great time fighting, they also restrained their strength and did not attack the vulnerable parts.
The final fight ended when Du Yan pressed his elbow against Cheng Yu’s neck, knocking him to the ground.
Perhaps because he had already vented all his emotions, Du Yan had completely calmed down. He lowered his body and spoke into Cheng Yu’s ear.
“What do you think of this unique treatment?”
Du Yan just thought that beating up this jealous guy would probably clear his mind a little and prevent him from doing stupid things for such ridiculous reasons.
He moved his elbows and stood up to leave, but he felt a tightness around his waist.
Du Yan looked down and found that Cheng Yu’s hand had been wrapped around his waist without him noticing. The force was not strong, but it was undeniable.
“Do you still want to be beaten?” Du Yan raised his eyebrows and said provocatively.
Cheng Yu smiled and said: “I want to continue, but I don’t want to be beaten.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his arm muscles tensed up, and Du Yan felt the surroundings spinning, and then he was pinned down by Cheng Yu.
The two men were very close, their foreheads touching. Because of the intense fight just now, their breathing had not yet calmed down.
Du Yan could feel the violent rise and fall of Cheng Yu’s chest and the entanglement of their breathing.
The atmosphere became somewhat ambiguous. They were just looking at each other, but it seemed like sparks were ignited in the air. Perhaps the hormones released in the previous fight made people lose their minds easily.
Cheng Yu’s lips came up, kissing along the corner of Du Yan’s lips to his collarbone, and then all the way down.
Everything happened as it should.
That day, housekeeper Cheng Bo discovered that Governor Cheng, who had a very regular schedule, was staying in bed for the first time. He stood in the garden, looking at the curtains that were closed for a long time, thinking that his young master had been busy all night yesterday, so it would be better not to go in and disturb him.
Cheng Yu, who had indeed been busy all night, was not sleeping soundly as Cheng Bo had thought.
He sat leaning against the head of the bed, wearing only a military shirt with the buttons unbuttoned, revealing his muscular chest and well-toned abdominal muscles.
Cheng Yu’s hand was on the shoulder of Du Yan, who was sleeping beside him. Du Yan’s skin was very white, so it was easy to leave marks.
Naturally, the red marks extending from the neck to the clavicle are the result of Cheng Yu’s long hours of hard work.
Cheng Yu’s fingertips brushed over the red marks, and a distressed expression appeared on his face.
If this person wakes up and sees these marks on his neck that can not be covered, even if he buttons his shirt to the top, he will probably get furious again.
Cheng Yu touched his ribs, which were still aching slightly, and decided to call Cheng Bo to ask him to go to the hospital to get some special medicine to remove the bruises.
Although these traces, which represent a certain meaning, fully satisfy Cheng Yu’s dark desire for exclusivity, the beating he received yesterday made him realize that even after a thousand years, Prince Yan is still extremely ignorant of romance.
To others, these marks might be sweet evidence of deep love, but to Prince Yan, they were probably a sign that Cheng Yu was too unbridled and needed to be disciplined.
Cheng Yu smiled and left a kiss on the temple of the person beside him.
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t understand romance. The person in front of him looks like someone he has never seen before, even in his previous life. He is Prince Yan who belongs to him, Cheng Yu.
After Cheng Bo brought the medicine over, Cheng Yu carefully applied the medicine before lying back on the bed and closing his eyes.
When Cheng Yu’s breathing became steady and he fell into a deep sleep, Du Yan opened his eyes.
He got up, looked at Cheng Yu’s lips, which were smiling even in deep sleep, and whispered: “The vinegar is so strong. If you wake up later and still remember those things about the dream world, you will be drowned in vinegar.”
After saying that, Du Yan tapped Cheng Yu’s forehead and said: “Enter the dream.”
