Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 176 Ingratitude and Deceit (11)

Gu Yao went to the small kitchen, leaving Baili Weisheng and Bu Shaoluan staring at each other.

Baili Weisheng felt a chill run down his spine under the gaze of the Tenth Prince.

He genuinely didn't know what he had done to offend the young prince.

Now he's so restless he can't sit still.

He looked at the boy in front of him, took a deep breath, and said, "Tenth Prince, aren't there lessons you can't learn?"

Bu Shaoluan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

He looked at the somewhat nervous young man in front of him and smiled slightly. "There's no rush. What is the relationship between Mr. Baili and the Chief Inspector? Didn't we hear before that you were young and impetuous and offended the Chief Inspector?"

So when exactly did your relationship improve?

Could it be because of those two books from last time?

The thought that he had handed over those two books himself made Bu Shaoluan feel a pang of unease.

Baili Weisheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and his face flushed slightly as if he had thought of something.

"These are all old stories, we shouldn't say more, we shouldn't say more."

Bu Shaoluan's lips curled slightly, forming a cold arc, without forcing the issue.

This feeling of being excluded by the two of them is really annoying.

Looking at the spotless, transparent top scholar in front of him, without a trace of darkness, Bu Shaoluan gripped his teacup tightly.

It's so clean it's almost unbearable.

Having been in the imperial court for over two years, he still maintains his proud and aloof demeanor, his edges not having been worn down by those old foxes in the court.

He had accompanied Shen Xuntang to the imperial court and witnessed Baili Weisheng and the old men from those centuries-old families arguing heatedly, neither giving an inch.

Who gave him such a calm and confident attitude?

It is Shen Xuntang.

When Baili Weisheng spoke eloquently in the court and put forward his ideas, Shen Xuntang always looked at him with a strange kind of admiration.

That was a look he had never seen before.

Sadness and nostalgia.

It was like the desolate atmosphere of late autumn, with the moonlight so intense it seemed to be impenetrable.

It exudes an indescribable chill.

One look and my heart sank.

Bu Shaoluan couldn't see through it.

Shen Xuntang is a man with too many secrets.

He had seen him with a cold face, his words leaving several stubborn old men speechless and embarrassed.

He had witnessed Shen Xuntang's masterful planning and his ability to manipulate people with ease.

But that was the first time he had seen Shen Xuntang like that.

It was as if the autumn moonlight fell on him, covering him with frost.

Lonely and desolate.

It's as if they want to isolate themselves from this world.

No one can get close to him.

He also refused to let anyone get close to him.

However, Baili Weisheng was the only exception.

When Baili Weisheng was being harassed by those stubborn old men, Shen Xuntang would change the subject and help him out.

This was a level of favor he had never experienced before.

Although Shen Xuntang usually seemed to indulge him, he would not show any leniency when Shen Xuntang was reprimanded by the school teacher or severely whipped by Chen Qing on the training ground.

He thought Shen Xuntang had already been extremely good to him.

But when a control group appeared, he was no longer satisfied with the status quo.

He wanted it all.

She wanted all of Shen Xuntang's favoritism.

The more I thought about it, the more resentful I felt.

Bu Shaoluan wanted to seize Shen Xuntang's opportunity and reach his peak at this moment.

He wanted to catch this person.

Regardless of Shen Xuntang's motives for being kind to him.

Since you've already shown this kindness...

He wouldn't allow Shen Xuntang to take it back so easily.

When Shen Guyao brought in the snacks, she sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.

An indescribable, inexplicable feeling of stagnation.

One was fidgeting, while the other had a gloomy expression and seemed lost in thought.

Gu Yao pretended not to see it and carried the almond pastries into the house.

"The osmanthus cake will have to wait a while. Today, the kitchen only has almond shortbread. I wonder if Lord Baili will like it?"

Bu Shaoluan was brought back to his senses by the familiar voice. He looked up abruptly and saw his master placing the plate of almond cookies in front of the person who was in his way.

The smile that had just appeared on his face faded slightly.

There was a hint of heartbreak in her eyes.

Seeing the little brat's affected manner, Gu Yao felt a desire to tease him.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I forgot you were here too."

Upon hearing this, Bu Shaoluan cracked his knuckles, lowered his head, and concealed his unwilling expression.

"It's alright, Mr. Baili is a guest, so we should naturally be more accommodating to him."

Seeing the little wolf cub's clearly unhappy expression as he forced himself to stay calm, Gu Yao smiled, pursing his lips.

Just as he was about to say a few more teasing words, Shen Shenwei came over carrying a tray.

Upon hearing the sound, Bu Shaoluan looked over, and Shen Shenwei placed the tray in front of the boy. "Your Highness, this is steamed sweet cheese that Master had prepared in the kitchen early this morning, knowing that Your Highness likes it."

The boy stared blankly at the milky white pastry drizzled with osmanthus sugar in front of him.

Gu Yao clicked his tongue lightly upon hearing this, as if he were somewhat regretful.

He hasn't even teased the child again yet.

We can still tease him now, but after the imperial examinations next year, we won't be able to tease him so easily anymore.

That's a bit of a shame.

Seeing that no one spoke, Shen Shenwei lowered his head and dared not say anything more.

Did he do something wrong?

Bu Shaoluan was the first to react. He picked up the spoon from the tray, gently scooped up a spoonful, and put it in his mouth.

The aroma of osmanthus and milk blend together perfectly.

He looked up at the languid-looking young man in front of him, his tone tinged with uncertainty, "Was this specifically ordered by the Sect Leader?"

The boy's gaze was fixed on the young man, seeking only an answer.

Gu Yao lazily raised his eyes, only to meet the expectant gaze of the young man.

In those dark eyes, it was as if a thousand lights had been lit up.

In every lamplight, the figure of Shen Xuntang is reflected.

It was so bright it was dazzling.

Gu Yao looked at it and clicked his tongue softly, as if he were somewhat helpless.

Seeing the young man nod, Bu Shaoluan's tension faded, revealing a genuine smile.

He stared intently at the young man in front of him, then scooped up a spoonful of steamed sugar cheese and put it in his mouth, where it melted instantly.

It's so sweet it warms your heart.

Gu Yao felt somewhat uncomfortable under the wolf cub's fierce gaze.

He felt that what Bu Shaoluan was eating wasn't steamed sweet cheese, but himself.

Baili Weisheng, standing nearby, observed the subtle interaction between the two.

Try to minimize your presence.

Looking at the almond cookies in front of me, I didn't dare to pick them up.

She was afraid that the Tenth Prince's gaze would fall on her.

Gu Yao avoided the boy's gaze, looked at Shen Shenwei who was still standing there, and waved his hand to let him go down and serve the dishes.

Shen Shenwei, as if he had received some kind of pardon, quickly bowed and retreated.

The battle taking place inside this room was beyond his control.

Seeing that the little brat wanted to eat a second bowl of snacks, Gu Yao frowned and raised his hand to press down on Bu Shaoluan's hand.

"Your Highness, it's almost lunchtime. This steamed sweet cheese is delicious, but let's save it for after lunch."

The cool temperature of the young man's fingertips traveled through his fingertips to the back of his hand and then into his heart.

Seeing the young man's disapproving frown, Bu Shaoluan smiled.

Gently put the spoon down.

"Alright, we'll do as the Master decides."

The vibration of the vocal cords was accompanied by the erratic trembling of the heart, a scene of chaos and turmoil.
