On the other side, Fu Junli took Taehyung away.
He did not send him back to the court where he lived, but brought him back to his room and called over a doctor to examine his legs.
Fu Junli acted like a gentleman on the surface and seemed to be an exceptional young master. But in actuality, he, more than anyone, acted without reason and when he handled tasks, he did things completely by his own preference.
For example, in the original plot, when he easily dug out the original host’s pair of eyes, one could see just how much of a sick bastard he is from that.
Fu Junli now, once again, decided Du Taehyung's fate. No one dared to defy his orders, and no one dared even more to stop his conduct. Thus, Taehyung obediently remained still when he brought him back.
The doctor finished examining his leg, which had been dislocated , set it back into the right position, and bound it up well.After he left, Taehyung bowed his head and whispered, “Many thanks to Elder Young Master’s just decision…”
“No need to thank me, second brother’s conduct has been licentious. He needs to be taught a lesson.”
Fu Junli said with a gentle expression.
Seeing Taehyung’s head was lowered, making him unable to see that pair of familiar and cherished eyes, he immediately knit his brows again, and reached out to lift the youth’s head up. Only when he saw the azure eyes again did his face show a gentle smile, and he continued.“Why won’t you look at me when you’re speaking?”
Taehyung resisted the desire to get away from him with great difficulty and quietly said, “When I first entered the residence, the housekeeper said that the first and foremost rule after entering the residence is that one is not allowed to lift one’s head and look at Eldest Young Master…”Fu Junli paused, remembering this rule he had made, and was inexplicably annoyed for a moment. The fact that he only discovered this youth’s eyes today, turns out it was because of this rule.
“This rule only applies to others. You don’t have to follow it in the future. You have to look up at me when you speak…”
He turned Taehyung's face squarely towards him and stiffly made this request.
Taehyung was very cooperative and immediately raised his head and, using those beautiful eyes to look towards him, nodded obediently.
Fu Junli was fond of this well behaved appearance, and he immediately bowed his head and kissed his eyes, praising, “Your eyes are very pretty…”“…”
Taehyung did not speak, his eyes showing some panic and his uncertainty of what he should do, like a lovable little bunny. Fu Junli’s heart went soft upon seeing this.
The well-behaved youth in front of him reminded him of the scene he saw when he first saw that person many years ago. At that time, the youth also exposed a panicked and overwhelmed expression. Those azure colored eyes were so beautiful, he was such an enchanting person.
He couldn’t help but overlap the figure in his head with Taehyung in front of him. Because he was so close to Taehyung, he suddenly smelled the scent of orchid incense on him, and could not help but inquire, “You have the fragrance of orchids on your body? Do you like orchids?”
The corners of Taehyung’s lips hooked up. Shallowly smiling, he nodded
“En."“Why do you like orchids?” Fu Junli was somewhat moved.
Because you like it, ah. Because orchids emitted a type of secretive fragrance and gave off a noble and pure disposition, ah. Because your white lotus is your lofty and unsullied orchid, ah. This grandpa wants to get closer to you, even if you don’t like it you still have to like, ah!
Taehyung secretly said this in his heart, but he smiled lightly on the surface. “Autumn orchids, are so pure, the green leaves and purple stalks… in a field of beautiful flowers, it would standout this kind of orchid, how could anyone not like…”When these words fell, Fu Junli only felt that things became a blur in front of him. He seemed to have seen the person in his heart whom he had already been thinking of for a long time.Suddenly he reached out and hugged Taehyung, his chin pressing against his forehead, murmuring, “Lianzhi Lianzhi, I’ve finally found you…”
Taehyung did not speak, but the fists hidden under his sleeves clenched tightly without a word or movement. Only then was he able to endure and suppress the pain and resentment that suddenly arose from the pit of his stomach because of the original host.
