Since receiving Gu Yun's letter to return to the capital for reporting, he had been looking forward to it day and night, watching time flow by every moment was like torture. However, after waiting for the man to arrive, Chang Geng wished nothing more than to escape Gu Yun's sight immediately.

His mind was screaming inside, wanting to escape unconsciously. He turned and rushed out.

Gu Yun: "Stop, where are you going?"

Chang Geng was in a haze, ignoring him.

Gu Yun suddenly gave a low shout: "Li Min!"

From childhood to adulthood, Gu Yun had neither used heavy words towards him nor gotten angry at him. Nevertheless, in the army, Gu Yun never spoke twice. With high authority, such a slight angry shout resembled an absolute order. Chang Geng instinctively stopped.

Gu Yun sat beside the bed with a grave expression: "Get back here for me."

Chang Geng was puzzled, "I..."

"If you walk out of this door today," Gu Yun coldly warned, "I will break your leg. Even the Emperor can't save you. Come back, do not let me say it for the third time!"

Chang Geng: "..."

Gu Yun was the first person who dared to say he would break his leg after Yan Wang commanded the Grand Council. Chang Geng was confused by his sudden outburst, momentarily not daring to walk out. He gathered up all his courage to look back at Gu Yun. All kinds of grievances and pains that were difficult to express in words poured into his heart.

... But there was still the remnant of tears on his face. He had fully awakened, there truly was no more strength to cry.

Gu Yun could not stand such eyes of his. He had to compromise and stood up, pulling Chang Geng into his arms from behind. He somewhat forcefully threw him on the bed and pulled the cold blanket over him. "Why hadn't you told me after so many years?"

Chang Geng took a deep breath and whispered, "... I was afraid. "

What were you afraid of?

Gu Yun was shocked, then raised Chang Geng's face with one hand: "Who are you afraid of? Me? "

Chang Geng looked at him deep in the eyes. This gaze made Gu Yun understand what was called 'fearing because of love'.

Gu Yun wanted to ask, "What are you afraid of with me? Afraid that I will hate you? Suspect you?" But he swallowed these words down after they reached his lips.

Not knowing what to say, he acted, grabbing Chang Geng's collar and kissing him deep and hard. Chang Geng's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Gu Yun placed his hands beside his ears and raised his eyebrows. "Are you still afraid now?"

Chang Geng: "..."

Gu Yun looked down at him from above, suddenly feeling his heart heat up. He licked his lips, planning to be improper to the end. He stretched his hand into Chang Geng's disheveled clothing.
