The song was clear and sweet, reaching up to the sky.
But what’s really touching was overflowing sense of lovesickness in it.
I wonder Tan You had ever heard it?
Ha, most likely even if he had heard it, he would still hold no care.
Liu Guang spent an afternoon in the woods, and by the time he left, he had become very familiar with Feng Zixi. He secretly made a decision in his heart, so he went to the door first without waiting for Tan You to pester him.
At that time, Tan You was reading in her room. When he saw him, he laughed and asked lazily, “Have you seen that little phoenix?”
Liu Guang knew that nothing could be hidden from him, so he did not hide it and nodded expressionlessly.
”You have always been enchanted with his singing, so I knew you would go find him.” Tan You stood up and took Liu Guang’s hand, sighing with regret, “Oh, I wish I could sing too.”
Just imagining Tan You singing made Liu Guang’s eyelids jump. However, he did not show his thoughts and only asked quietly: “Is he also one of your playthings?”
”Just an old days’ memory.”
”Then, let him go.”
Liu Guang had also been lovestruck and he understood Feng Zixi’s mood at the moment.
It may be very painful to let go of this feeling, but instead of wasting your time on someone who held no affection for you, it would be better to find someone who was more suitable.
Such a bright and lovely young man should always stand in the sun with a carefree smile.
”You are really fond of that little phoenix.” Tan You smiled, as if he had expected Liu Guang to make this request, and said in deep thought, “It would be easy to let him go, but after all, it’s a gift I got from someone else……”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Guang, his eyes burning with heat.
Liu Guang immediately understood what he meant and responded coldly: “If you have any conditions, just say it.”
Tan You smiled happily, lowered his head to play with the pearl on his waist, put his lips next to Liu Guang’s ear, and said softly: “Drink with me tonight.”
He knew Liu Guang’s character very well, and the conditions he proposed were not excessive.
Liu Guang naturally agreed positively and turned around to leave.
That night, Tan You indeed set up a banquet in the pavilion.
The pavilion was also built on the water. It was surrounded by mist, with a faint light faintly visible. The sound of rushing water and the scenery created a very pleasant atmosphere.
As soon as Liu Guang sat down in the pavilion, he said, “Feng Zixi…”
”Don’t worry, I will send him away from Illusionary Island as soon as the arrangements are made.”
”Second Highness is so generous.”
”Ha, so you should accompany me to finish this bottle of wine.” With that said, he filled up the wine cup himself and handed it to Liu Guang.
Liu Guang shook the cup in his hand and suddenly said: “Did Second Highness put something in the wine?”
Tan You laughed loudly, and after a while he said: “If I had never fallen in love with you, I would indeed act like this. But you are my beloved now, how could I be willing to… treat you like this?”
Liu Guang seemed a little surprised and frowned involuntarily.
Tan You quickly stretched out his hand to smooth the furrow between his eyebrows and asked, “Are you wondering why I let the little phoenix go so easily?”
Liu Guang didn’t speak, which was considered acquiescence.
”I’m here to prove to you that I’ve changed my ways now, and all that’s in my heart is you.” Tan You cleared his throat and said seriously, “And I’m also very worried, that if you see the little phoenix too often, you might fall in love with him.”
He blinked his eyes and looked so serious, as if he really regarded Feng Zixi as his love rival.
Liu Guang’s was taken aback, almost laughing out loud, and finally raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
Tan You immediately helped him pour wine, but he didn’t drink anything. He just rested his face on his hands and stared Liu Guang with a smile.
Liu Guang pretended to turn a blind eye and continued to drink one glass after another. Seeing that the wine bottle was almost empty, he still had that cold and indifferent expression on his face, not seeming drunk at all.
Tan You said with wonder: “You have a good drinking capacity.”
”Yes, so if Second Highness wants to get me drunk, I’m afraid there is no hope.”
Tan You was both amused and angry: “So in your eyes, I’m so very evil that I can’t be forgiven? Liu Guang, what do you think of me?”
”Second Highness, do you want to hear the truth or lies?”
Tan You laughed even harder and asked, “Are you willing to tell lies to please me?”
Liu Guang shook his head and immediately replied: “I neither hate nor like Second Highness, I have no feelings at all.”
These words were spoken so frankly and without any reluctance, that Tan You’s expression changed on the spot.
However, he was not angry, he just looked at Liu Guang leisurely, his eyes were deep and unfathomable like water, as he said softly: “But at least I still have a chance, right?”
”That’s right. Had I been trapped on Illusionary Island and could only face Second Highness alone for hundreds of thousands of years, then I will fall in love with you sooner or later.”
”Liu Guang, you are not a sharp-tongued person, why do you always like to use your words to hurt me?”
”Second Highness already knows my temper, why would you insist on me?”
Tan You suddenly became quiet.
It was quiet all around, no sound at all.
He half-closed his eyes, waved his hand gently, and the thick fog on the water dispersed, and the moonlight slanted down, illuminating the pretty side of his face.
Tan You stared at him intently, his expression seemed like he was enchanted, and he sighed vaguely: “Because you are the person I have been looking for, and I want you to be by my side.”
His voice was so soft, and at this moment, his usual arrogance was completely gone. Instead, his eyes were deep, with a hint of unnoticeable loneliness.
Second Highness, who held all the power in the world, would also show such an expression?
Liu Guang couldn’t believe it. “Is it possible for Second Highness to also get lonely sometimes?”
Tan You smiled nonchalantly and said, “Why not? Even if I can achieve great things in the future, wouldn’t it be too boring if I don’t have a close person by my side? Liu Guang, you are the only one who is my close friend.”
Liu Guang was so astonished that he went speechless.
Tan You had already leaned forward, getting closer to him little by little, and his voice was low and hoarse: “Liu Guang, I’m a little drunk.”
”Second Highness has not drunk at all.”
”Not intoxicated with wine…” He raised his hand and slowly traced his fingertips across Liu Guang’s cheek, with an abnormal warmth, “I’m intoxicated with you.”
The last few words melted between each other’s lips.
Liu Guang knew that Tan You must have evil intentions when he invited him to drink, so he kept his left hand on the hilt of his sword. But at this time, he couldn’t draw the sword.
The moonlight was so beautiful.
The kiss that fell was so gentle.
He was so confused that he didn’t even have the strength to move his wrist. He only said vaguely: “Your Highness, I’m afraid you have mistaken me for someone else.”
Then a more gentle kiss covered his lips.
An unfamiliar heartbeat sounded against the chest, and Tan You’s voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, making people unconsciously dwell in it. “Even if I am mistaken, I will only make one mistake to the end.”
