No matter what, Shen Yi was still a commander. On regular days, only Gu Yun would treat him too casually: two words of deep friendship, immediately quarreling in the next three. Others could not be so impolite and must regard him as a guest. Gu Yun did not manage this matter, Chang Geng himself had to go to instruct the servants.

Shen Yi started to become tense as soon as he entered the manor. He was restless for a moment then carefully glanced at the back of Yan Wang's tall and lean stature, asking Gu Yun, "Did you do it?"

"..." Gu Yun could not express it in one word. Hesitating for a moment, he vaguely made a noise in response, "Mm."

Shen Yi's whole body was in discomfort, he finally understood why Gu Yun was dodging the topic on the way. On one hand he felt shocked. On the other, he was helpless. Spouting 'You, you and you' for half a day, not one complete sentence could be said.

It was not convenient for Gu Yun to explain too much in details, so like how a dead pig would not be afraid of boiling water*, he sat on the side, opening the oil-paper bag and taking out the crispy salted fish to eat.

*idiom that means nothing would bother them anymore

Shen Yi knew that he was partially heartless but did not expect that he was this heartless. His heart resembling a nosy mother surged up and down, he said in pain, "You... How could you... Momentary pleasure, what will we do in the future, huh? Will the two of you continue to entangle like this? Where will the proper order be! No one dares to manage someone like you who dominates one side, but what about Yan Wang? Would the Emperor agree to it? In case of any change in the future, there will be separation, letting go of many years of sentiment! You...what am I supposed to say to you here, Gu Zi Xi? You're an animal!"

Gu Yun wiped the pepper and salt grains from his mouth. Getting hit by the word 'animal', he was so wronged that he had to sit on the side with an unfathomable expression, unable to explain himself.

Shen Yi's words were obvious nonsense. Of course, Gu Yun had thought about it before.

If it was a matter of being unable to hold back feelings, then he could control himself. This world was complex, one could not control others, but they could control themselves.

If deeply ingrained feelings could not be forgotten, then find a brick to smash the head. That way, parents and ancestors and one's own name would all be forgotten, let alone feelings?

But it was not so...
