DS Chapter 4

Yu Lin thought about it for several days and felt that he needed to find someone to answer his questions.

He left in such a hurry that he left all the important things in Yu Country, and it was only recently that a shadow guard sent them to him. He stroked the jade flute around his waist a few times, finally pulled it out, placed the transverse flute in front of his lips, and played a light and cheerful tune. As soon as the music fell, a shadow guard dressed in night clothes was already kneeling in front of him.

Yu Lin was silent for a moment, “You guys are shadow guards, don’t you think it’s silly to wear night clothes during the day?”

Shadow Guard:……

Yu Lin casually tapped his palm with the jade flute, “Hey, what do you think I should do to sleep with Chu Shuai? Isn’t it enough to make it clear?”

Shadow Guard:……I feel like you are making things difficult for me.

The shadow guard struggled to say, “Maybe Chu Shuai likes it a bit more subtle?”

Yu Lin grew up in Yunmeng Ze, where most people are straightforward and honest, he had some difficulty understanding the roundabout thinking of people in the south, “I just like him, I want to kiss and hug him, and be passionately entwined with him. Why should I hide my feelings?”

Shadow Guard:……

Seeing that he couldn’t get a fart out of three blows, Yu Lin didn’t hold any hope for him, and instead asked, “What is the most famous brothel in Luoyang?”

Finally, there was a question that the shadow guard could answer: “Fusheng Pavilion.”

“Life is like a dream, how can we enjoy it? The one who named it must be a person of elegance.” Yu Lin praised, untying the jade pendant from his waist and handing it to him, “Take this to the bank to withdraw twenty taels of broken silver, I want to go to the Fusheng Pavilion.”

The shadow guard breathed a sigh of relief and went on his mission.

As soon as Yu Lin left the house, the family steward went to the training grounds to report to Chu Yi. Chu Yi would never agree to someone going to a brothel under his nose, so he immediately led a horse and rushed to Fusheng Pavilion.

“Young….Sir.” Yun Ji, the top courtesan of the Fusheng Pavilion, cradled the pipa and gently pushed the door open. When she saw his face, she paused slightly, thinking it was a lady from a family dressing up as a man to satisfy her curiosity at the brothel. Upon closer inspection, she found it was actually a man.

She had been a top courtesan for so long, and she had seen all kinds of big winds and waves. She laughed and covered up her previous loss of composure.

“Miss, please sit.” Yu Lin raised his eyes, seemingly uninterested in her, and peeled the grapes in the fruit plate by himself.

Yun Ji didn’t know what kind of service he liked for a while, so she had to sit quietly across from him, stretching out her soft fingers to pour Yu Lin a cup of famous Luoyang wine – Drunken Spring Breeze.

“What kind of song does the sir want to hear?” Yun Ji picked up the pipa again, gently plucked the strings, and asked softly.

Yu Lin held the wine glass and shook it, but didn’t drink it. He propped his head with a lack of interest: “I don’t want to listen to songs, I just have a few questions to ask Miss.”

So there are also patrons who come to the brothel not to seek pleasure but to ask questions, which was a bit strange.

Yun Ji did not show her emotions, and still held the pipa with a knowledgeable and dignified demeanor: “Sir, please feel free to speak.”

“Does Miss know how to get someone’s true heart?”

Yun Ji: … She was just a courtesan who played the field, and as long as the silver was in place, she didn’t care whether anyone had feelings for her or not. But since Yu Lin asked, she had to live up to the silver he paid, so she answered seriously: “Beauty, talent, caring nature, and equal sincerity.”

It was similar to what the girls in Yu Country and Yunmeng Ze said. Yu Lin felt that he was decent looking, he was a disciple of Bai Xiaosheng, and his talent was barely passable, as for caring and true heart, he asked himself, and he was not less than Chu Yi’s to him.

“Then why doesn’t he want to sleep with me!” Yu Lin slammed the table in anger, “Is it because I’m old and ugly?”

Yun Ji: … She barely held a smile on her face: “The suggestion here is, please go out and turn left, go to the next door clinic to find a physician to check your eyes.” Yu Lin was only in his early twenties, and his face was the most exquisite and beautiful Yun Ji had ever seen in her life. She was ashamed of herself, but he said he was old and ugly? If it weren’t for Yun Ji’s good upbringing and soft temper, she would have greeted his face with the pipa long ago.

“That’s not right, I’m only twenty-six, and I’m not old, am I?” Yu Lin sat back down and talked to himself, “Since he won’t sleep with me, I’ll go sleep with him. Tell me how to sleep with someone.”

….Yun Ji felt that the questions this Sir asked were really strange, as if he was deliberately making things difficult for her. The guests who came to the Fusheng Pavilion to find her either listened to songs or wanted to sleep with her. She really had never taken the initiative to sleep with anyone.

Seeing that Yun Ji couldn’t answer, Yu Lin waved his hand. Yun Ji understood, bowed with the pipa, and left.

When she opened the door, she saw Chu Yi standing at the door with a blank expression. She didn’t know how long he had been standing there, or how much he had heard, but looking at his “catching adultery” look, the strange Sir in the room seemed to be his sweetheart.

Yu Lin didn’t feel like he was “caught in adultery” at all, and gave him a slight smile: “I didn’t expect that Shidi would come to this place of fireworks.”

“I came to find you.”

Just like before in Yunmeng Ze, when he took him back before Master Bai Xiaosheng arrived. But every time he saw the women coming out of the room, they were all neatly dressed, and he didn’t know what Yu Lin had done with people in the room. But today, after listening to the whole process, Chu Yi roughly understood, and the originally gloomy face softened, “You go to the brothel every time to ask these?”

“Otherwise?” Yu Lin looked at him inexplicably, and suddenly laughed out loud, “Hahahaha… Shidi, you wouldn’t really think that I’m like the rumors, and I’ve slept with all the women in the brothel, would you?”

Chu Yi reached out to wipe away the tears of laughter from his eyes, and gently responded.

Yu Lin seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly: “Shidi, did you think I was ‘sleeping’ with so many women and was dirty, so you didn’t want to touch me?”

Chu Yi shook his head.

No.

Yu Lin was the god in his heart, the dream he had been chasing for half his life, a drop of fresh blood on the tip of his heart, and the existence he dared to touch only when he was drunk.

Whether he was pure and innocent or fell into the mortal world, whether he was self-disciplined and dignified or romantic and dissolute. As long as he is Yu Lin, he likes him.

He was taught by the King of Qi from a young age that he was not worthy of anything. Later, he went to Yunmeng Ze and carefully explored what he deserved. Yu Lin’s liking for him made him panic. He didn’t know if he was qualified to accept this joy, and he didn’t dare to test it, for fear that it was a big dream that would be shattered at the touch of a button.

He hoped that Yu Lin would stand still and wait for him, and give him all the good things he had, including the heart that was beating faster because of him. He just needs to stand still, and he will work hard to catch up, stand by his side, love him, protect him, and not annoy him, that’s enough.

Chu Yi’s expression was a bit helpless and sad. His lips moved twice, and then he slowly said, “No matter what you look like, you are the best in my heart. It was my fault that I didn’t go to find you for eight years. This is what I owe. The auction is a new beginning, please let me repay you slowly.”

He closed his eyes, and the figure of Yu Lin leaving that year appeared in his mind, and he swallowed the last sentence –

Just begging you, please don’t leave me alone again.
