Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!????

Chapter 62: Here Is My Home (ǀ)

When Xu still wore this silly look, s.h.i.+ already stood in front of him.

Xu didn’t resume his consciousness until s.h.i.+ got so close to him.

After that, Xu brightened his eyes.

“Sister-in-law!” shouted Xu in excitement.

All the eunuchs and palace maids, “…”

s.h.i.+ almost got chocked on Xu’s words, but Xu ran inside already.

“Ah, sorry.” Xu instantly apologized to s.h.i.+. “Elder brother told me not to call you like this, for you would be unhappy. He asked me to call you Elder Brother s.h.i.+.”

All the eunuchs and palace maids, “…”

s.h.i.+ said with his eyes narrowed, “Elder brother?”

“Yes.” Xu continued in excitement, “Elder Brother s.h.i.+, you’re more beautiful than I imagined.”

s.h.i.+, “…”

Xu said with intoxication, “Elder Brother s.h.i.+, I deemed it womanish to describe a man as beautiful, but now I finally understand there are different kinds of beauties! Well, I only can use ‘exceedingly charming’ to describe you.”

s.h.i.+, “…” He suddenly found himself stupid after he had felt unpleasant for such a long time because of Xu’s appearance.

Perhaps, the intelligence was not right as if what the naked eyes saw might be false…

Long had explained to s.h.i.+ that they got drunk and purely slept together.

However, the rumor told another story.

Seeing the teenager in front of him, s.h.i.+ considered Xu a little silly, especially for Xu’s eyes.

If Xu disguised himself, then Xu must be really good at it, for even s.h.i.+ couldn’t spot a flaw.

What if Xu didn’t disguise himself?

s.h.i.+ slightly curled the corners of his lips. “Elder Brother s.h.i.+, is it fun fighting at the border?”

“Fun is an inappropriate word to depict wars,” said s.h.i.+ lightly.

“Uh…” Xu immediately scratched his head with embarra.s.sment. “I know that…Elder Brother s.h.i.+, er, I was only asking. Can you tell me something about the border? I haven’t been there yet!”

s.h.i.+ slightly narrowed his eyes.

After a long time, s.h.i.+ talked about the border…

Xu listened to s.h.i.+ with bright eyes, a scene that Long saw after finis.h.i.+ng the morning session and coming to the Qiankun Palace.

Was his sworn little brother having a nice talk with his empress?

Long couldn’t help twitching the corners of his lips and walked inside.

“Xu You, what are you doing here? Your Elder Brother s.h.i.+ just got back last night and needs rest now. Did he wake up to welcome you after you showed up?”

Hearing this, Xu fiercely tapped his head. “Ah, I didn’t think of this…right, Elder Brother s.h.i.+ just came back and must be very tired. I was too excited…”

Long sighed and sat beside s.h.i.+. “Qingzhou, are you tired?”

As he spoke, Long squeezed s.h.i.+’s shoulders, which looked like that Long curried favor with s.h.i.+.

s.h.i.+ narrowed his eyes again.

An emperor wasn’t supposed to do such an action, but Long did it.

s.h.i.+ paid careful attention to Xu’s reaction and only saw tease, not jealous, in his eyes…

s.h.i.+ was silent for a moment but didn’t refuse Long’s behavior.

Thus, Long used his two hands to ma.s.sage s.h.i.+ with more strength.

All the eunuchs and palace maids lowered their heads as if seeing nothing.

As a modern person, Xu had lived in this world for six years, but he wasn’t afraid of Long, because Long was a modern person, too.

Therefore, Xu directly made fun of Long. “Elder brother, you’re awesome. Your ma.s.sage skills are really good!”

“Of course.” Long said with a sneer, “You should learn this from me. Otherwise, I’m afraid Fang Shuoyang will desert you.”

“Fang Shuoyang?” asked s.h.i.+ with his brows c.o.c.ked. “Who is Fang Shuoyang?”

Long explained with a smile, “Fang Shuoyang is his lover and the young master of Sky Hermit Fort. But, Fang’s parents didn’t agree them to be together, found a woman for Fang, and wanted to harm him, so he escaped.”

“Elder brother,” cried Xu. “How could you tell my matters so loudly…it’s too embarra.s.sing, isn’t it?”

Long grinned at Xu. “Don’t worry, your Elder Brother s.h.i.+ isn’t an outsider and is way better than you in martial arts. So he may help you.”

“Uh.” Xu said with a nod, “You’re right…Elder Brother s.h.i.+, thanks for this!”

s.h.i.+ said with a faint smile, “En…”

Long asked, “Haven’t you eaten breakfast?”

“No, no.” Xu immediately nodded. “Elder brother, I’m hungry.”

Long rolled his eyes. “You’re a pig. What else are you capable of except for getting hungry and eating?”

Xu felt a little sad. “Elder brother, how could you say this to me?”

s.h.i.+ interrupted them with a smile, “I’m hungry, too.”

Long said immediately upon hearing this, “Qingzhou, you get hungry? I’ll order breakfast to be served.”

Such a distinct treatment made Xu shout. “Elder brother, you’ve done too far. How could you act like this?”

Long said with a smile, “A sworn brother is different from a lover. Don’t you know this? I don’t mind if you treat your lover better than me!”

Xu instantly turned darkened.

s.h.i.+ raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

Long ordered breakfast to be served, so breakfast was placed on the table shortly.

The three sat together to enjoy breakfast. Among them, Xu had the worst table manners. s.h.i.+ slowly ate breakfast, which formed a beautiful picture to behold.

Long squinted at Xu up and down and said, “Xu You, just then I learn of your ugly table manners. Is this the reason why your parents-in-law don’t like you?”

Xu twisted the corners of his lips. “Elder brother, you turn bad. You were not this before. When Elder Brother s.h.i.+ came back, you’ve changed. You like to give blows to me!”

Long grinned at Xu with his white teeth shown. “Is that so?”

“Yes!” Xu complained of Long with indignant.

However, Long totally neglected Xu.

Under the circ.u.mstances, Xu sadly finished breakfast.

After breakfast, Long made s.h.i.+ lie on the bed to rest after asking Xu to leave!

s.h.i.+ couldn’t sleep while lying on the bed against his will.

Long didn’t expect s.h.i.+ to fall sleep right away and just declared his stand that he didn’t want to s.h.i.+ to get tired.

Hence, Long placed all the imperial reports at s.h.i.+’s bedroom and dealt with them right in front of the bed.

s.h.i.+ watched Long and then asked, “Did you meet the envoys of the Northern Barbarians?”

“No, I didn’t. I plan to neglect them for two days. It isn’t urgent,” said Long directly.

s.h.i.+ nodded and asked again, “Are you going to agree on the peace proposal?”

“Eh.” Long said with a nod. “Qingzhou, I’m honest with you, I don’t want to dominate the world. Our people aren’t fit to live in the Northern Land. What if we defeat them? Frankly, I dislike there at all.”

s.h.i.+ thought about it for a while and nodded after a pause. “Point taken.”

Long said with a smile, “Do you think I’m not ambitious?”

s.h.i.+ replied while shaking his head. “No, I don’t. Your Majesty, you have far-reaching thoughts. After conquering the Northern Land, we have to manage it. Besides, the people there will fight against us. Even if we can resort to force, the price is rather big.”

“That’s right.” Long said with a nod, “It’s easy to occupy the Northern Land, but the management is rather difficult. What’s more, when the country is going down, its people will put up a desperate fight, so we’ll pay big prices. If the small country in the east takes advantage of this, chaos will be made. In that case, we can’t seize the Northern Land for the time being.”

s.h.i.+ nodded and smiled. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid you’ll utilize this chance to dominate the world considering the good situation.”

“Haha.” Long burst into laughter. “I’m not that ambitious. After all, our country is vast enough.”

s.h.i.+ chuckled. “Eh. Your Majesty, when you agree with the Northern Barbarians to enter the imperial city, I know the war is about to be over. I think it’s good.”

“Eh.” Long said with his eyes fixed on s.h.i.+, “Qingzhou, I haven’t extended my thanks to you yet. Thank you for not only guarding against the border but also fighting bravely to seize three cities of the Northern Land. Qingzhou, you’re awesome!”

s.h.i.+ paused for a while and felt bashful for such a compliment, especially for the softness in Long’s eyes…

“Your Majesty, you were flattering me.”

“Alas…” Long sighed. “Qingzhou, why do you still call me Your Majesty?”

Long winked.

Seeing such an innocent look of s.h.i.+, Long couldn’t help bowing his head down to kiss s.h.i.+’s lips. “Qingzhou, are you in pain?”

“What?” s.h.i.+ felt confused.

Long whispered in s.h.i.+’s eyes, “I was too excited last night….there were so many times I couldn’t control myself…”

s.h.i.+ shook his head and said with his ears reddened, “No…”

“Not in pain?” Long kissed s.h.i.+’s reddish ears. “Then can we continue tonight?”

s.h.i.+ subconsciously changed his look, making Long laugh unconsciously. “Qingzhou, you’re still in pain, aren’t you?”

s.h.i.+ looked away and directly neglected Long.
