"Let’s not talk about these bad things anymore," Shen Yi interrupted his thoughts. "By the way, does His Highness Yan Wang still live in the Marquis' Manor? What on earth is going on between the two of you?"

Gu Yun: "..."

Shen Yi wasn’t able to catch the expression of ‘one word could not describe it all’ on his face. He chattered to himself: "I heard that in the past, His Highness Yan Wang always lived in the Grand Council for a long time. Recently, he started to go home on time. It seems to have started with your return to the capital... Even if he does not take it seriously, he would not dare to use you as entertainment either.”

He talked about his feelings. Gu Yun did not know whether he was expressing his feelings for Yan Wang's difficulties, that the surname Gu should quickly go with him, or he was warning Gu Yun that this love would shock the world, that he should stop when appropriate. Gu Yun could not grasp his meaning. He frowned and said, "I don't understand, what do you mean?"

"It means I don't know what to do about this either," Shen Yi said, scratching his ear, "I am only worrying about you."

Gu Yun: "..."

He felt that Shen Yi was not worrying about him, but simply bringing further discomfort to him.

But either way, they had already slept together, Shen Yi’s words were already eight lifetimes too late. Although Marshal Gu had thick skin, it was not convenient to announce this to the world either.

Seeing that Shen Yi was still following him and did not seem to want to go back to his own house, he raised his eyebrows angrily and said, "What are you following me for? Are you going to come to the manor and watch how I worry?”

Shen Yi let out a stiff laugh and said, "Zi Xi, we have been friends for so many years. Let me have a meal?"

Gu Yun said in surprise, "Your family is too poor to cook?”

Shen Yi, contrary to his usual broken mouth, hesitated for a while before saying, "My father... recently, he wanted to arrange a marriage for me, um... he was a little too enthusiastic, I cannot provoke the old man, hence I had to hide everywhere — hey, do you have enough, stop laughing, is there anyone who would repay kindness with betrayal like this? Hmp, when you are sorrowful, I am there with you, when I am sorrowful, you rejoice in my misfortune..."

In the middle of his speech, Gu Yun laughed until he was unable to breathe: "I... truly had my eyes opened. For the first time, I saw a general who had to ask for a free meal due to being forced to marry.”

Shen Yi: "... Gu Zi Xi, are we still friends? Just shut up and treat me to a good meal, then I will forgive you.”
