Xiang Han saw his narrowed eyes and felt that victory was within grasp. He snorted softly and asked in a deliberate tone, “Since you’ve heard it, how about you tell me. What does it mean to not be rash?”

Looking up, Xu Yan Ze saw the other person’s messy hair and wide eyes. It looked extremely adorable, reminding him of the rich second generation from his previous world.

An inexplicable itch grew in his heart. He hooked up a finger at Xiang Han, “Come closer, I’ll tell you.”

Xiang Han’s face grew black. Was Xu Yan Ze… flirting with him?

However, before he could let his mind wander any further, Xu Yan Ze had already grabbed him by his elbows and tugged. Having lost his balance, Xiang Han could only fall onto the other person.

Xu Yan Ze couldn’t stop himself from reaching over to comb Xiang Han’s hair back into place, using a finger to draw circles along his scalp. If he thought about it carefully, this little fool was quite similar to the rich second generation. It couldn’t be… this was his type?

Xiang Han struggled free and patted his hair back into place, “Can you spit it out now?”

Xu Yan Ze was helpless, pulling him back into his embrace and pinching his soft, tender skin. “How well do you understand the regional commander, his wife, and his brother-in-law?”

“Uh…” He only knew they had a lot of power, but were annihilated by Xu Yan Ze in the end.

Xiang Han had asked this only in order to close the distance between them. However, he never expected the space between them to shrink to such an extent; they were basically pressed against each other. Especially when Xu Yan Ze had pinched him, it felt extremely uncomfortable and caused him to instinctively struggle.

Xu Yan Ze closed his eyes, stroking the little fool in a coaxing manner as he said, “When dealing with an enemy stronger than yourself, you need to understand both yourself and your enemy before coming up with a plan. Your understanding of them is too low. Even if you are able to think of a plan, it may not necessarily be successful. Therefore, it’s better to wait until the investigations are done before continuing. Sleep.”

Although he said ‘sleep’, his hands were gradually inching down from Xiang Han’s waist and towards his ass. With a red face, Xiang Han harshly slapped his arm away.

Xu Yan Ze let out a soft groan and finally stopped. But he continued to hug Xiang Han.

Xiang Han began to wriggle, but he remembered that he now had to take the lover’s route and thus, stopped. He began to relax, allowing himself to be held to sleep.

Realising the person in his embrace had already fallen asleep, the corners of Xu Yan Ze’s lips lifted into a smile. He squeezed this soft ‘bolster’ a little tighter and wondered hazily, judging by the little fool’s reaction, did he liked himself or was it simply a case of immature infatuation?

The next day, they both woke up early. First, they went to the old madam’s dwelling to pay their greetings, before going to the main hall for their meal.

After the old master passed away, it was the old madam who had been managing the internal and external matters of the Jin family. However, her body had grown weary in recent years and she began to allow her two daughters-in-law to share the workload. Now, the son of the main wife, who had been a fool for more than 10 years, had suddenly become clear-headed. This not only left the two daughters-in-law suspicious, but even other people also couldn’t help guessing.

Therefore, this meal was destined to be an extremely tiresome one. His first and second uncle didn’t speak, but their wives couldn’t stop asking one question after another, without a break. They didn’t dare ask the old madam and could only come and test Xiang Han.

Xiang Han played dumb. No matter what he was asked, he wore a blank expression, angering his two aunts greatly.

After they left, he couldn’t help complaining to Xu Yan Ze, “Let’s just use the smaller kitchen in the future. This meal was too tiring.”

“I thought you didn’t understand what they were saying?” Xu Yan Ze threw a side glance at him, once again suspecting this lad was also a transmigrator.

“Uh…” Xiang Han’s eyes flickered before pulling him into a corner and softly explained, “It’s grandmother who reminded me yesterday.”

Xu Yan Ze quickly understood. He raised his brows questioningly, “The old madam wants you to inherit the family, mn…”

Before he could finish, Xiang Han had already blocked his mouth anxiously, “Don’t say it out loud. If my aunts know, they’ll definitely make a fuss.”

Xu Yan Ze stared at him deeply, feeling this situation was a little familiar. That’s right, before he transmigrated into this world, he had been surrounded by the zombie hoard with the rich second generation. The latter had also looked at him anxiously just like this.

That gaze had left his heart flustered. Thinking that they would die either way and that the rich second generation liked him, why didn’t they just become lovers in death. Therefore, he leaned in and roughly kissed the other. Then… he came here.

Probably because he was still alive, Xu Yan Ze didn’t hate the rich second generation as much as he’d thought. Moreover, under those circumstances, it was hard to tell if they could have survived. Even if that lad hadn’t shoved him, it was only a matter of time before he died. Moreover, he’d seen this sort of thing happen too many times and so he wasn’t surprised, even when it happened to himself.

But recalling their kiss, Xu Yan Ze felt his throat grow dry. He turned over to press Xiang Han against the wall. With probing intentions, he passionately kissed the latter and began to grind against him.

Xiang Han stared at him with wide eyes, unable to understand why he’d been awoken with a kiss. But since they were taking the lovers’ route, this wasn’t necessarily bad?

Regaining his balance, Xiang Han wrapped his arms around Xu Yan Ze and opened his mouth to allow the other’s tongue to enter. However, just as Xu Yan Ze was about to enjoy his victory, it was brutally shattered by a timely interruption. A servant abruptly entered, carrying a plate.

Xiang Han’s expression changed and he bit down harshly while pushing Xu Yan Ze away.

“Mn!” Xu Yan Ze had just pushed his tongue into the other person’s mouth when he was bitten. He bent forward in pain, wanting to punch a hole in the wall.

If he didn’t want to kiss, so be it. Why did he have to entice him to use his tongue before biting him? Was he desiring flesh or deliberately messing with him?

Tears sprang to his eyes, but for the sake of his reputation, Xu Yan Ze forced himself to endure. He quickly covered his mouth and wasn’t surprised to see his hands stained with blood. Glaring at Xiang Han, he mumbled, “Are you trying to kill me?”

It was just a kiss, was this necessary? Why was he so similar to the rich second generation… hmm?

A sudden epiphany struck Xu Yan Ze and he abruptly thought of a possibility. Before his transmigration, they had been tightly surrounded by zombies. Although he was the first to die, the other person was weaker than a chicken and couldn’t possibly have lived any longer. Since he was able to transmigrate over, couldn’t the rich second generation also have…

Stumbling upon such a possibility, the gaze he used to look at Xiang Han also grew strange.

After biting him, Xiang Han was feeling somewhat anguished. He carefully asked, “Are you… okay? Do you need me to call the doctor?”

Saying so, he noticed Xu Yan Ze’s strange gaze on him and couldn’t help touching his face in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” he mumbled and went to find somewhere to spit out the blood in his mouth.

Xiang Han trotted after him, explaining, “A servant suddenly entered earlier, so I panicked… I didn’t mean to bite you…”

“Where’s the servant?” Xu Yan Ze suddenly turned around, his voice muffled.

“Ah?” Xiang Han thought that the other person doubted his words and began to look. He finally found the servant in the corridor, “There.”

The servant suffered a shock. Upon turning around and seeing Xiang Han pointing at herself, she had dropped to her knees in fright.

Xu Yan Ze said, “Tell her to bring a spittoon here.”

Xiang Han, “…”

“She’s holding snacks, I’ll go.” In order to display his apology, Xiang Han waved a hand and allowed the servant to leave. Then, he quickly went to find it.

After hearing Xiang Han’s explanation and seeing him desperate to oblige his every request, Xu Yan Ze couldn’t help thinking to himself that this was perhaps not momentary infatuation. Xiang Han had probably fallen for him, right?

He had treated the Jin family as a temporary residence. But now that he knew the little fool was probably in love with him, his heart grew somewhat unwilling, but had a little joy. Couldn’t he just snatch the little fool away when he left?

But they’d only known each other for a day, unless it’s love at first sight? Or could it be that the other person was really the rich second generation?

Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted towards Xiang Han, “Su Han!”

Xiang Han froze, looking around. Not seeing anyone else, he turned back to Xu Yan Ze in confusion, “Who are you talking to?”

Xu Yan Ze had been observing him and his reaction left him doubtful. If the other person was really the rich second generation, he should have instinctively answered when he heard his name.

But the little fool’s reaction was genuine, clearly unfamiliar with this name. Could it be that he was wrong? Jin Bao Han wasn’t a transmigrator and wasn’t the rich second generation?

Xu Yan Ze shook his head, and said, “Nothing.” However, his heart was still in tangles. He was unsure if it was from melancholy or joy.

It didn’t take long for Xiang Han to return. After spitting out the blood and rinsing his mouth, Xu Yan Ze plucked a couple of leaves to munch on in the courtyard.

“What’s this for?” Xiang Han asked out of curiosity.

“To stop the bleeding”

He didn’t want to continue talking due to the pain in his mouth and during dinner, he also ate less. This only made Xiang Han feel more guilty and so, he suggested, “Do you want me to… call the doctor?”

Xu Yan Ze immediately shook his head. No matter if it were Xiang Han or someone else who’d bit his tongue, it was too embarrassing to let others know. No one else must know.

Noticing Xiang Han’s guilt, he couldn’t help teasing, “Just let me pinch you tonight, it’ll be better.”

“Bullshit.” Xiang Han’s face turned dark.

When Xu Yan Ze heard this, he began to explain earnestly, “Pinching you can help divert my attention away from the pain.”

Xiang Han was struck speechless and instinctively thought of another question. Did Xu Yan Ze feel he was very fat?

Speaking of which, Big A was too much. When he wasn’t taking the lover’s route, he would always find him a good-looking body. But when he decided to take the lover’s route, he ended up in a chubby body. Doesn’t he know that in this world, there are many people who judge others based on their physical appearance?

He silently touched the meat on his waist and asked in a small voice, “Am I… very fat.”

Xu Yan Ze paused. Seeing Xiang Han’s uneasy expression, as if afraid he would dislike him, his heart sped up. He felt somewhat suffocated and felt some heartache. This little fool probably likes him, right? Otherwise, why would he be afraid of being disliked after such a passing remark?

He pulled Xiang Han into his arms and rubbed his meaty hands in consolation, “How could that be? You’re obviously very well-proportioned, neither thin nor fat. Your hands are soft, waist is soft… your entire body is soft, so it’s really comfortable to hug you…”

Towards the end, his tone carried a trace of obsession.

It was Xiang Han’s turn to be speechless. He silently thought to himself, so Xu Yan Ze had been treating him as a bolster? Looks like it was necessary to lose weight if he wanted to walk down this lover’s route.

Xiang Han, “Don’t guess blindly. Don’t tell me you have no idea why you were pushed and bitten?”

Xu Yan Ze, “No…”
