Pathological Trapping - Chap 3
During the twelfth lunar month, Li Dezhuang heard from the palace maid that Mu Jian had talked to her for a long time today and they became much closer.
The progress bar in Li Dezhuang’s mind has reached eighty percent!
He is so beautiful!
The foreman asked him to drink in the evening, and he drank two more bowls. He stumbled towards his residence.
Passing by the plum garden in the south of the palace, I couldn’t help but stop and vaguely saw a dark shadow over there.
”Meow–”
Li Dezhuang walked over with a lantern.
A kitten was lying in the snow, thin, small, and dirty, staring at Li Dezhuang with its glass-like eyes.
Li Dezhuang rubbed its head and his expression suddenly became sad.
”You are alone too, right? Me too. This palace is dangerous. Come with me, or you will be caught and poisoned someday.”
Li Dezhuang picked up the kitten.
The kitten struggled and was reluctant. Li Dezhuang coaxed it.
”I’ll sing a song for you! Snowflakes are fluttering… the north wind is howling… the world is vast and desolate—”
Li Dezhuang sang with great passion. When he turned around, he met a pair of dark eyes.
He said, “That’s my cat.”
Awkward……
The parties involved were very embarrassed!
Li Dezhuang calmed down for a few seconds, raised the lantern in his hand, and the bright candlelight illuminated the other person.
A person was lying on the high palace wall. He was thin and small, a bit like the cat in his arms.
A pair of bright eyes stared at him blankly, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity. His hands, which were clinging to the wall, were red as ten carrots.
Li Dezhuang thought that this little radish was perfect to go with wine.
He smiled at him.
The man was stunned.
He saw a tall and graceful man wearing a dark blue gown, holding a cat in one hand and holding a lantern high in the other, under the sparse red plum blossoms in the snow-covered plum garden.
He said, “It’s high up there, it’s dangerous, come down quickly.”
Li Dezhuang’s voice was a little drunken, and his pronunciation was slow, which made people feel warmer than the candlelight in the lantern.
The man leaning against the wall asked, “Do you recognize me?”
Li Dezhuang smiled, “Kid, why should I recognize you?”
The “child” pursed his lips, “I’m not a child, I’m an adult.”
After saying that, he still stared without saying a word.
Li Dezhuang thought he wanted his cat back, so he stood on tiptoe and handed the cat to him. He took it, but still lay on the wall and looked at him.
Li Dezhuang thought about it and handed him the lantern, fearing that he might fall while walking at night.
”Yes, take it.”
He didn’t answer and asked, “What about you?”
Li Dezhuang smiled, “I’m older than you, so I’m not afraid of walking at night.”
Mu Jian wanted to say that he was not afraid and that you are not much older than me, but he still slowly reached out and grabbed the lantern.
Li Dezhuang asked: “Do you like this cat?”
”I can’t say I like it.” Mu Jian paused and added, “If you like it and want to see it, you can come find me.”
Li Dezhuang was stunned for three seconds and thought, who are you? You are so free. Is the palace your home?
The man on the wall stared at him and spoke word by word.
”My name is Mu Jian.”
Li Dezhuang froze in place.
I took several breaths of cold air.
Damn!
It really is his home!
Mu Jian slowly moved the lantern to the wall on his side, jumped down skillfully, and ran in the night wind holding the cat.
He ran faster and faster, unable to stop smiling. He ran all the way back to the cold palace, then he stopped and carefully put the cat on the ground, touching the place where Li Dezhuang had touched with his swollen hands.
”He likes you, I won’t eat you anymore.”
Li Dezhuang returned to his room, feeling unlucky no matter how he thought about it!
He sang like crazy in front of that lunatic! He almost stole his cat!
But this is not the worst!
The worst thing was that the next day, when the palace maid came to chat with Li Dezhuang, she told him that she had already told Mu Jian that he was the one who asked her to deliver the things.
Li Dezhuang was petrified in the cold wind.
Cui Er held her little face in her hands. She didn’t know if her lovely face was red because of the cold wind or because of herself. She looked at Li De Zhuang with an evasive look.
”Brother Li, you are such a nice person. There are very few people as nice as you in the palace.”
Li Dezhuang had a splitting headache.
”Didn’t I tell you not to tell him it was me?”
”I didn’t say it at first.” Cui’er lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, “But I let it slip once.”
”Brother Li, you didn’t do anything bad, why are you afraid that His Highness would know?”
”Uh…” Because that crazy guy will be gay in the future!
Li Dezhuang still had a headache, “This is a good thing, why didn’t you tell him that it was you who did it?”
”How can that be possible!” Cui’er’s voice immediately rose, “Brother Li, you are the one who did the good deed, how can I take your credit?!”
Li Dezhuang held his forehead with his hand.
Blame him!
Found such an honest person!
Girl, why don’t you have any ambition?
Li Dezhuang began to worry and had trouble sleeping.
I always dream of that crazy guy saying, you gave me a steamed bun, I want to make you happy!
Chapter 3 Will you always be nice to me?
In order to protect Chrysanthemum, Li Dezhuang re-arranged the story line from the beginning.
The reason why Mu Jian became gay was because of those brainless young men in the palace.
One day, he was drunk and saw that Mu Jian was good-looking, so he dragged him behind the rockery and bullied him.
Later, when he found out that he was a prince, he did not restrain himself. Instead, he took advantage of his unpopularity and bullied him even more fiercely.
It was because of this experience that he became gay.
As long as you don’t have this experience!
Mu Jian is a good person!
Li Dezhuang made up his mind, and that night he took the “Kneeling Is Easy” that he had not been able to give away and two boxes of frostbite ointment, and went to the cold palace.
