Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Chapter 495 Parental Love Extra 11: Fu Lan x Ji Yuzhen

In this way, Ji Yuzhen settled down in Xuan Palace as she wished.

On the day she woke up, Doctor Qin came over to check her body. After a careful examination, he told her that her body had not fully recovered and she needed to stay in bed for a few days.

Ji Yuzhen was a person who could not sit still and loved to move. It was even harder to ask her to lie quietly in bed than to kill her. But she had to listen to the doctor's words, so she lay in bed for two days with difficulty. On the third day, Ji Yuzhen really could not lie still any longer and got out of bed for a walk.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Fu Lan. It seemed that he was about to go out.

Ji Yuzhen's eyes suddenly lit up and she waved, "Hi! Are you going out? Where are you going?"

Fu Lan did not answer her question, but looked at her, with a hint of doubt in his calm eyes, as if saying: Why are you still here?

During these two days, Ji Yuzhen had been staying in her room obediently and was so quiet that Fu Lan almost forgot that such a person existed.

Coming back to his senses, he said, "What's the matter?"

Ji Yuzhen: "Nothing, I'm just bored and want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?"

Fu Lan: “No.”

Ji Yuzhen: “…” It’s really not surprising.

She was almost used to Fu Lan's cold way of rejection.

However, the unyielding spirit in her bones suddenly surged up.

Okay, so cold, right? She just didn’t believe that he could remain so indifferent in the face of her enthusiasm!

"Then I don't care. You brought me back here, so you have to be responsible for me." Ji Yuzhen straightened his back and said confidently.

Fu Lan: “…”

Seeing that Ji Yuzhen was about to start making trouble, Fu Lan said first: "Go find Uncle Du to accompany you."

She was left behind by Uncle Du, so what responsibility does he have?

"No." Ji Yuzhen refused, "Uncle Du is so busy, how can I bother him?"

Fu Lan: “…” You mean he’s not busy?

He is indeed not busy.

Seeing that Fu Lan was silent, Ji Yuzhen continued, "I have heard clearly that you, the Xuan Lord, are very leisurely. You either go to the beach and daydream, or carve wood sculptures in the study. I guess you are going to the beach now, take me with you."

Ji Yuzhen didn't just lie in bed for two days without doing anything. She asked her sister who brought her food a lot of information about Fu Lan.

Fu Lan frowned when he heard this, "You've crossed the line."

"What's the point of crossing the line? Isn't it my duty to know my benefactor?" Ji Yuzhen put her hands on her hips, "You and I are about the same age, so what's wrong with you taking me along to play!"

"..." Fu Lan didn't know what to say.

He found that no matter what he said, Ji Yuzhen could quickly find a reason to refute it.

Since he couldn't win the argument, Fu Lan simply stopped talking and turned away.

Seeing this, Ji Yuzhen raised a smug smile and quickly chased after him, shouting, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

"..."

Ji Yuzhen followed Fu Lan to the beach as she wished.

Feeling the sea breeze, Ji Yuzhen looked up at the sea, took a deep breath, and then let out a sigh of satisfaction.

She finally breathed some fresh air. She was suffocated after being locked in the room for two days.

Although she really wanted to run around on the beach, Ji Yuzhen held back and followed Fu Lan closely, sitting next to him wherever he sat.

She just wanted him to get used to her presence, so that it wouldn't be so difficult for him to take her out in the future.

In the past, he always watched the sea quietly by himself, but today, with the chattering Ji Yuzhen beside him, Fu Lan felt uncomfortable and awkward everywhere.

But he didn't say it out loud, and Ren Ji Yuzhen kept talking beside him.

"Fu Lan, what do you often come to the beach to see?"

"Fu Lan, why is the sea blue?"

"Fu Lan, the cloud over there looks like a little lamb."

"Fu Lan..."

From beginning to end, Fu Lan acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't respond to any of Ji Yuzhen's questions.

Ji Yuzhen didn't mind at all and continued to talk enthusiastically without stopping.

"Fu Lan, can you build a castle with sand?"

When this question popped up, Fu Lan finally responded.

His gaze slowly moved away from the sea and fell on Ji Yuzhen's face, and he asked, "Can you?"

"Of course I do."

It can be said that Ji Yuzhen is very good at eating, drinking and having fun.

"You don't know how to do it? Then I'll teach you!" She rolled up her sleeves, ready to show off her skills, "Watch."

Without waiting for Fu Lan's consent, Ji Yuzhen simply crossed her legs and started fiddling with the sand on the spot.

It rained last night and the sand was still a little wet and sticky, perfect for building a castle.

I saw her skillfully piling up and pressing the sand with her hands, and soon the base of the castle was formed.

Fu Lan stared at Ji Yuzhen's movements without blinking, like a student who was studying hard.

Ji Yuzhen kept moving his hands and explaining, "Look, the sand needs to be compacted, otherwise it will collapse easily. And the shape needs to have some curvature to look good."

Soon, an exquisite sand castle was born under Ji Yuzhen's skillful hands.

"Look, it's done!" Ji Yuzhen patted the remaining sand on her hands and smiled proudly, "It's very simple, isn't it? Come and try it."

Fu Lan hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his hand, stood next to Ji Yuzhen, and started to operate, imitating her.

However, his movements were a little clumsy and the shape of the castle was crooked.

Ji Yuzhen couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh, that's not the case, you have to do this..." As she said that, she held Fu Lan's hand and guided him.

Fu Lan's hand trembled slightly, but he did not struggle.

With the help of Ji Yuzhen, Fu Lan finally built a simple castle.

"Great!" Ji Yuzhen did not hesitate to praise Fu Lan, and her tone was as if Fu Lan had accomplished something great.

Fu Lan looked at the sand castle he had built with his own hands. While he was happy, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

After eight years, he finally built his own castle.

Ever since he could remember, Fu Lan had been chosen as the next Xuan Lord. From then on, his life was filled with all kinds of rigorous training and learning.

Every day, he had to keep his nerves tense, and any mistake would result in severe punishment.

Compared with children of the same age, he had almost no time to play. He could only study numbly day after day, learning how to be a qualified puppet.

At that time, he was like an emotionless machine, without his own thoughts and happiness. It was not until he was fifteen years old, when the former Xuan Lord passed away and he took over as the new Xuan Lord, that he had a chance to breathe and no one was nagging him anymore.

This sea is the place he visits most often after he took office as the Xuan Lord.

No one knows him here, so he can stare at the sea in a daze, with his mind empty, thinking nothing and doing nothing, allowing his heart to gain a moment of peace.

Once, he saw some children playing and laughing on the beach, building sand castles. Curiosity welled up in him, so he decided to try too.

However, he failed.

Children have parents around to teach them patiently, but he doesn't. He is all alone and no one can teach him.

Having recognized the reality, he no longer harbored any delusions and honestly continued to be his lonely self, hiding all his desires in the most secret corner of his heart.

But today, he succeeded.

Fu Lan's eyes slowly moved from the sand castle to Ji Yuzhen's face covered with fine sand, and he said sincerely, "Thank you."

This time, Ji Yuzhen did not respond with laughter as usual, but looked into Fu Lan's eyes seriously, "Let's make another one."

She saw everything about the way Fu Lan looked at Shabao just now. Somehow, she felt a deep sense of loneliness in Fu Lan.

Obviously he had so many people surrounding him, such a high status and power, but at that moment, Ji Yuzhen felt as if he was the loneliest person in the world.

This kind of loneliness is not the loneliness of being alone, but the feeling of being empty and helpless even in the midst of hustle and bustle.

He closed his heart.

Ji Yuzhen thought.

She had to help him.

She wanted to help him.

……

In the next few days, Ji Yuzhen knocked on Fu Lan's door at dawn.

As soon as the door opened, Ji Yuzhen's energetic smile came into view. "Good morning, shall we go fly a kite today?"

"No." Fu Lan refused without even thinking about it and was about to close the door.

Ji Yuzhen was quick-witted and quick-handed. She stepped forward and hugged the door frame tightly to prevent him from closing it.

"Come on, let's go. It's windy today, perfect for flying a kite." Ji Yuzhen said coquettishly.

Fu Lan remained indifferent and said expressionlessly: "Ask someone else to accompany you."

"No, I want you, I want to play with you."

"I don't want to." Fu Lan still refused, "Let go."

Ever since returning from the beach, Fu Lan noticed that Ji Yuzhen was becoming more and more "unbridled".

Throughout the whole day, except for sleeping and going to the toilet, I spent almost the rest of the time with him.

Fu Lan was resistant to this kind of intimate relationship. To be more precise, he was not used to it because he had never been so close to his parents.

He was used to being alone and the silence of being alone. The appearance of Ji Yuzhen directly disrupted his original rhythm of life.

This is wrong, he needs to correct it.

"If you don't go with me, I will keep pestering you like this." Ji Yuzhen hugged the door frame tightly and refused to let go.

"...If you want to hug me, just hug me." After saying this, Fu Lan turned around and went back into the house.

"!!! Why are you like this!" Ji Yuzhen stomped her feet angrily, then changed her mind and realized that she came to make Fu Lan happy and she couldn't lose her temper.

So, Ji Yuzhen took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, and called out at the door: "Fu Lan? Brother Fu? Big Brother Fu? Handsome Fu? Good man Fu?"

When Fu Lan in the room heard this series of names, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, but he still forced himself not to make a sound.

Ji Yuzhen continued to shout, "Uncle Fu, please be kind and accompany me out. I promise it will be fun this time!"

"Not talking? That means you agree. Change your clothes and I'll wait for you at the door!" Ji Yuzhen used her "secret weapon" again.

At this time, Fu Lan had just woken up and was still wearing pajamas.

In the end, Fu Lan accompanied Ji Yuzhen to fly the kite because she was so annoying.

If he didn't agree, Fu Lan believed that he would never have a moment of peace in the rest of his life.

But the truth is, he believed it too early.

Even if he agreed to go fly the kite, Ji Yuzhen had no intention of letting him go easily.

During the more than one week that Ji Yuzhen stayed in Xuanzhou, she took him to play different things every day. He didn't know that there were so many things to play with in this world.

On the tenth day, Ji Yuzhen suddenly became interested and took Fu Lan to go shopping.

Fu Lan now no longer refuses Ji Yuzhen's various proposals, because he knows that refusal is useless. Besides, he seems to be a little accustomed to her chattering and making noise in his ear.

There was a stall selling headbands on the street. Ji Yuzhen's eyes lit up, and she ran over to pick up a white dog-ear headband and put it on her head. Then she turned around, like a puppy waiting for praise, tilted her head slightly to one side, her eyes sparkling, and asked Fu Lan, "Does it look good?"

Fu Lan glanced at it and asked, "Why a dog?"

Ji Yuzhen blinked and said with a smile, "Because dogs are cute, loyal and lively, how great."

As she spoke, she picked up a headband with cat ears and handed it to Fu Lan: "Wear this."

Fu Lan didn't move, obviously not wanting to wear it.

Ji Yuzhen pretended not to notice his expression and continued, "Okay, I'll put it on for you. Come on, lower your head."

"...I don't--" Before Fu Lan could finish his refusal, Ji Yuzhen grabbed the back of his neck and forcibly put the cat headband on his head.

Then he took two steps back, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Cute! The cat suits you so well."

Fu Lan: “…”

Because Ji Yuzhen didn't allow him to take off the hairband, Fu Lan really didn't take it off.

The two of them wore animal headbands and ate and strolled along the way.

Although it was said that there were two people, in fact it was mainly Ji Yuzhen who was happily shopping, while Fu Lan was paying in the back, just like a "mobile wallet".

When passing by a jewelry store, Ji Yuzhen stopped and pulled Fu Lan in without thinking.

Across the glass cabinet, she pointed at one of the rings and asked Fu Lan: "Yiyun, do you think this ring looks good?"

"Yiyun" is Fu Lan's nickname. No one knows where Ji Yuzhen heard it from. From then on, she never called her "Fu Lan" again, but "Yiyun" all the time.

"It's okay." Fu Lan couldn't see what was so good about this ring. It was just an ordinary plain ring without any decoration.

He originally thought that Ji Yuzhen came in to buy earrings, necklaces or something like that, but he didn't expect that she only took a fancy to such an inconspicuous ring.

"I think it's simple and beautiful. Can you buy it for me?" Ji Yuzhen looked at Fu Lan expectantly.

Fu Lan felt something was wrong, "Why do you want a ring?"

"Because we are friends, giving rings to friends is a way of expressing friendship." Ji Yuzhen answered seriously.

Really? Rings have this meaning?

Fu Lan looked at her doubtfully, "Is it really just like that?"

Ji Yuzhen nodded vigorously, her eyes clear as water, "Of course, what else can I do? Or do you think I like you?"
