Pathological Trapping - Chap 104
 Li Dezhuang couldn’t utter a word.
  Mu Jian rested his hand on his shoulder, his eyes slightly lowered, quiet and obedient, which made Li Dezhuang feel as if he had been possessed by someone else.
  Li Dezhuang had seen him in various crazy states, but he had never seen him like this. For a moment, he didn’t know how to deal with it.
  Mu Jian’s voice dropped.
  ”I like you so much, Guard Li.”
  ”I know.”
  ”Hmm…” Mu Jian kissed the back of his neck gently, and the hot breath from his nose sprayed on the small piece of skin on the back of his neck.
  The skin turned a little pink.
  Mu Jian liked to see the changes in him because of himself.
  ”Can’t we just be nice?”
  Li Dezhuang closed his eyes.
  Slowly exhale the foul air in the chest.
  ”Mu Jian, I have never forgotten what you did.”
  Mu Jian pressed his finger against the back of his neck and chuckled softly.
  ”I think so. That’s it… As long as I can hold you like this and stay with you forever, I’m willing to be in pain.”
  Li Dezhuang lowered his eyes.
  No more words.
  The room fell into an eerie silence.
  Li Dezhuang thought, sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, that’s all.
  Mu Jian was so ill that he did not even attend General Liu’s funeral.
  The general loved the people and had made great military achievements during his lifetime, so many people along the way set up roadside memorial services.
  Liu Zhuangshi, with his small body, walked in front, holding his father’s tablet in his arms. He held on, not letting a single tear fall.
  When the servants told Liu Yong the news, he sighed again and again.
  ”My baby has suffered.”
  Li Dezhuang handed him a glass of water.
  ”When will you tell Shier?”
  Liu Yong’s eyebrows were almost twisted into knots due to worry.
  ”We have to wait until the situation stabilizes.”
  After so much effort in putting together this game, we naturally want to make sure it goes perfectly.
  Liu Yong said: “He is a child, he can’t go back to the border, so he can only stay in the capital. When I recover from my injury, I will go to the border. You take care of him for me. When I return victorious, I will come to pick up my son.”
  Li Dezhuang nodded and said yes.
  When the weather just showed signs of spring, Liu Yong left the city in plain clothes, blending in with the crowd leaving the city. When he left, Li Dezhuang saw him off.
  He stood at the city gate, looking at Liu Yong’s back from afar. He didn’t notice the pair of eyes staring at him from behind. The owner of those eyes was afraid that he would run away from the capital.
  But he didn’t.
  After staying for a while, Li Dezhuang returned to the palace and sat alone for a while.
  When he heard from the servants that General Liu had hidden away and cried secretly again, he stood up and went to Liu Zhuangshi.
  A teenager who lost his brother, his mother and his father.
  Just like a drifting duckweed, floating on the water, helpless.
  Li Dezhuang looked at his thin figure and felt a sense of sympathy. He came here alone, alone and helpless, and had to deal with Mu Jian and be bullied by him.
  Li Dezhuang didn’t want Liu Zhuangshi to suffer as much as he did, so he treated him very well.
  I would tell him stories and put him to sleep.
  After a while, Liu Zhuangshi started crying secretly, and only Li Dezhuang could comfort him.
  The child huddled in the corner, his nose red from crying. When he heard Li Dezhuang’s footsteps, he seemed to have someone to confide in, and said in a trembling voice, “Brother Li… I dreamed of my dad…”
  Li Dezhuang stepped forward and squatted in front of him.
  ”What did your daddy say?”
  Liu Zhuangshi sobbed, “He told me to get lost…”
  Li Dezhuang raised his hand and touched Liu Zhuangshi’s head.
  Liu Zhuangshi, with tears in his eyes, asked him, “Brother Li, why are the Yi people so annoying? Why don’t they all die!”
  Li Dezhuang held him in his arms, patted his back gently, and coaxed him with soft words, just like coaxing a baby. Slowly, he coaxed him to sleep.
  He turned his head and met Mu Jian’s cold face in front of the window.
  A hint of cold murderous intent flashed in the other person’s eyes, and then he curled his lips into a smile.
  ”Guard Li is being partial to one and not the other. Why don’t you hug me?”
  Chapter 81 If You Make a Move, I Will Fight You
  Li Dezhuang put the child on the bed, tucked in the quilt, and walked to the window.
  Mu Jian was lying on the windowsill, looking up at him.
  His eyes were focused, as if these beautiful, bright eyes could only accommodate him.
  He curled his lips and stretched out his hand, but before he touched Li Dezhuang’s skin, the wind blew Li Dezhuang’s hair onto his fingertips, lightly and itchy.
  Mu Jian laughed.
  ”Guard Li is so handsome.”
  ”You look at Shi’er like that, don’t you want to kill him?”
  Mu Jian pursed his lips, probably struggling in his heart for a moment, then smiled and chose to tell the truth.
  ”Yes, I do.”
  ”Your Highness is so frank.”
  Mu Jian placed his hand on his cheek and rubbed it gently.
  ”I like Guard Li and I don’t want to lie to you.”
  Li Dezhuang snorted, “Weren’t you the one who lied to me last time?”
  It was a terrible deception!
  He was tricked into crying.
  He was deceived so much that he wanted to kill, and he stabbed the person with a knife.
  Li Dezhuang walked out of the room slowly.
  Mu Jian walked up to him, smiling sweetly and obediently, pulling his sleeve in a flattering manner.
  ”Are you still mad at me?”
  Li Dezhuang stopped, looked at him for two seconds, and warned him, “If you make a move, I will fight you to the death.”
  A trace of gloom flashed across Mu Jian’s brows. After a moment, he slowly let out a breath, “I’m not happy that you’re so nice to him. In the past, you were only so nice to me…”
  Mu Jian shamelessly pressed himself against Li Dezhuang, breathing in his scent with his eyes closed.
