Pathological Trapping - Chap 15
 No one answered him.
  Mu Jian slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips touched his slightly red cheek, which made his heart numb as if it were an electric shock.
  The feeling, which was almost blasphemous, made his heart beat faster.
  The fingertips slowly slid along Li Dezhuang’s cheek, and finally five fingers inserted into his temples, supporting his face with the palm of her hand.
  He touched it and slowly retreated.
  Gently touch his lips with your fingertips.
  As soft as imagined.
  He stared at the slightly parted lips for a long moment.
  He took two deep breaths, leaned forward and tasted the sweetness.
  I wish I could suck that tongue into my mouth and taste it well.
  But in the end I didn’t dare to, for fear of waking him up.
  Mu Jian looked at his lips, bent his index finger, bit the joint, and smiled foolishly. After laughing for a while, he lay down on the bed again with resentment.
  So soft and sweet.
  Why didn’t Guard Li let me eat such delicious food?
  Chapter 12 How Can I Let You Get Away?
  When Li Dezhuang woke up, he felt that his spirits had been mostly restored.
  My waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer numb, and the fever on my forehead has subsided.
  He got up, opened the door, and saw someone talking to Mu Jian in a very humble manner. He didn’t know what they were talking about. When she glanced at him from the corner of her eye, she bent down even lower, probably to remind Mu Jian.
  Mu Jian turned around and smiled as brightly as the sunshine.
  ”Guard Li is up?”
  Li Dezhuang nodded, his attention was attracted by the youth’s vigorous vitality, and he didn’t notice the man next to him, who trembled in fear because of his smile. Only after receiving Mu Jian’s order did he dare to retreat.
  Li Dezhuang glanced at him and asked, “What does that person do?”
  The young man’s cheeks puffed out, which was somewhat cute.
  ”Why does Guard Li want to take a second look at everyone?”
  Li Dezhuang smiled.
  ”What? I can’t even look at a person?”
  ”I want Guard Li to look at me…” The young man took his arm and shook it coquettishly. When he lowered his head to look at him, his eyes were wet. Don’t mention how well-behaved he was. “I’m going to the martial arts arena today. Guard Li, are you going with me?”
  Li Dezhuang refused.
  ”I have to go out today.”
  Mu Jian’s expression turned cold. “Guard Li had to go out for something yesterday, the day before yesterday, and today. Is it because the world outside is too beautiful that Guard Li’s soul has been drawn away?”
  Li Dezhuang didn’t think his words were dangerous at all and just thought he was just a child.
  ”Of course the world outside is better than this East Palace. The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.”
  Mu Jian’s eyes were slightly cold.
  The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, and the young man squinted slightly. Under the cover of the sun, the coldness did not reach Li Dezhuang’s eyes.
  ”I would be unhappy if Guard Li always went out to meet others like this.”
  Li Dezhuang pinched his face and said, “I’ll bring you something delicious when I come back.”
  After saying that, he turned and left.
  I was thinking about what I asked Shang Yin to do yesterday.
  I don’t know how it went.
  Li Dezhuang and Shang Yin looked outside for a whole day and finally set their eyes on a three-story courtyard in the west of the city.
  The location is good, the environment is great, and most importantly, it is close to bookstores, which will make it very convenient to travel in the future.
  But it’s a bit expensive. If I want to buy this house, all the expenses added up will exceed my budget.
  Li Dezhuang asked Shang Yin to help him buy the house first, and he would pay the money he owed tomorrow.
  He went back in a hurry, pulled out the bricks on the wall, and felt inside. He was stunned.
  It was empty there.
  There is no such thing as a secret treasury.
  There is not even a penny left!
  Li Dezhuang was struck by lightning and touched it in disbelief.
  Empty!
  It’s really empty!
  It was robbed!
  His big house and beautiful woman disappeared in an instant.
  Li Dezhuang became furious and rushed out of the yard. Everyone looked like a thief to him, but he had no evidence.
  He asked people one by one to question them, but found no flaws, let alone clues.
  The only person he knew who knew where he hid his silver was Mu Jian.
  But what can Mu Jian, a child, do with so much money?
  He stayed in the East Palace all day and had no place to spend the money.
  Besides, when Mu Jian asked for money, he was always generous and would not steal.
  The more Li Dezhuang thought about it, the more his head hurt. He didn’t even notice Mu Jian coming in. It was only when the child’s hand came up that he noticed.
  ”What happened to Guard Li?”
  Li Dezhuang raised his head, his eyes first fell on Mu Jian’s hands that were holding his hands, and then he slowly pulled away.
  ”I lost my money. Your Highness, we have no money to spend.”
  Mu Jian showed surprise on his face and asked nervously, “Was it stolen?”
  Li Dezhuang nodded, still unwilling to face the fact. He had a splitting headache. After losing the money, his plan to escape would have to be put on hold for the time being. His eyelids drooped, and sadness was written all over his face.
  Mu Jian looked at him quietly, his dark and deep eyes becoming colder and colder. However, when Li Dezhuang raised his head, his eyes were clear and bright, as pure and clear as a child’s.
  Li Dezhuang waved his hand tiredly, “Go to sleep.”
  Mu Jian grabbed his sleeve, “Guard Li is unhappy.”
  Li Dezhuang bit his lip and said nothing.
  Of course I’m not happy after losing a huge sum of money!
  The key is that he still doesn’t dare to ask the prince to help him catch the thief! If the prince knew that he saved so much money just to run away, he would definitely not live to see tomorrow!
  He could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
  Mu Jian leaned against him with heartache, stretched out his arms, wrapped them around Li Dezhuang’s waist, and moved intimately like a child, rubbing his head against his chest.
  Smelling the pleasant scent on him, she squinted her eyes comfortably where Li Dezhuang couldn’t see.
  ”Guard Li is unhappy. Can I accompany you? Just like you accompanied me before.”
