Chapter 16: Homosexual Love
Proofread by Yin Jing
"Don't you know that the river lamp is for making a wish, master?" looking at the lotus lamp floating away, Liyi doesn't know what to say for a while.
"Ah?" Yan Ling suddenly realizes why they both looked at her like that.
However, Yan Ling doesn't feel regretful. On the one hand, Yan Ling understands that one needs to fight for whatever he wants, rather than just make a wish.
On the other hand, Yan Ling doesn't desire anything special at present.
Since her rebirth, her first notion has been to revenge. However, later Yan Ling realizes that only living a good life can she make it valuable and worthwhile.
Of course, the revenge cannot be in a hurry. As for living a good life, Yan Ling feels that she is working in that direction day by day. Making a wish doesn't make any sense.
"Forget it. Anyway, I don't have any wish now. The Lotus Lantern Festival is held every year. When I have something that I want, I can make a wish again." Yan Ling smiles naturally.
"Well, it does make sense, Ling'er." Liang He nods approvingly.
Yan Ling turns around, smiles brilliantly and asks him with great interest, "May I know your wish, Your Highness?"
Before Liang He opens his mouth, Liyi, who stands beside him, becomes worried. She complains with dissatisfaction, "How can you do this, My Lady? It won't come true if you say your wishes loud."
Although Yan Ling has never been at a Lotus Lantern Festival, she still knows something about making wishes. Hearing this, she feels a little embarrassed.
"Right. It's all my faults." Yan Ling says with a little embarrassment.
Liang He smiles and looks at Yan Ling with his bright eyes. "It's OK. I don't believe that stuff anyway. Since Ling'er wants to know it, it's harmless to tell you. "
Yan Ling was just asking casually, but now, she is somewhat curious about that all of a sudden. Hearing Liang He's words, she listens more attentively.
"The wish I just made is..." Liang He says as he coughs twice, turning his head a little.
However, before he finishes his words, he is interrupted by a voice behind.
"I didn't expect that you are here, Brother." The voice of Liang Yi, the Third Prince, comes from behind. Yan Ling is speechless: Why could she meet this man anywhere?
"I hang out with my friends, but I didn't expect to see you here, Brother." Liang He frowns imperceptibly, turning around to say hello with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, Liang Yi pretends to have just noticed Yan Ling and Liyi standing beside, by taking a glance at them.
In fact, he has been standing in the distance for a long time. At first, it was only because he noticed the man who embarrassed him in the street. Then he looked aside subconsciously, and found Liang He there.
Liang Yi had been looking at them for a while. These two people whom he hated were close, which didn't seem normal.
Liang Yi is a little suspicious by nature, but now he is even more doubtful. On the one hand, he is worried that this man has another identity and is discussing something with Liang He.
On the other hand, he can't help but think in another way. This man is a little skinny, and has a pretty face. Is it possible that his royal brother is actually homosexual?
In any case, Liang Yi feels that he should go there and have a close look.
"Is this the dude I met on the road that day?" Liang Yi asks, with a smile on his face, pretending to have forgotten what happened before.
"I think this must be the Third Prince. It's really different from before." Yan Ling also smiles brightly, but satires him with no mercy.
"You..." Liang Yi's face changes when he hears Ling's words.
But then Liang Yi says casually, as if nothing happened, "How can you say that, dude? In fact, I did something wrong before. I'm sorry for that. I hope that you can forgive me for my mistake. "
"You are too serious, Your Highness. I'm just a scholar. How can I stand your apology?" Yan Ling raises her eyebrows. It is sarcastic, but she feels slightly confused.
Generally speaking, the Third Prince would not say "sorry" to her anyway. Just now, he was obviously angry. Although it was only at a moment, Yan Ling saw it clearly.
However, she doesn't know why Liang Yi suppresses his anger. Something's wrong. Yan Ling becomes a little more careful and waits to see what Liang Yi is going to do.
"That's not right, dude. How can the friend of the Crown Prince be ordinary?" Liang Yi gnashes his teeth in hatred. Quite out of his expectation, the man whose identity is unknown doesn't show respect for his feelings at all.
But this makes Liang Yi more cautious. Last time, only by one glance did the man know who he was. Then, he offended him in the absence of the Crown Prince. Based on all of these, Liang Yi concludes that this man is no common person.
In addition, today, Liang Yi is obviously showing his kindness, but this man is not grateful at all. He just takes it for granted, which makes Liang Yi even more confused.
"May I know your name? Which family are you from? Maybe someday I can pay a visit." Liang Yi seems to ask in a casual way.
Hearing Liang Yi's words, Yan Ling suddenly understands something. It's obvious that the Third Prince is suspicious and wants to explore who she is.
Now that Yan Ling knows Liang Yi's intention, how can she let Liang Yi know her? On the one hand, Yan Ling's identity cannot be exposed. On the other, how can she make him get what he wants?
"That's not necessary, Your Highness. I'm just a poor scholar. I'm not from the capital city. It's just a coincidence that I get to know the Crown Prince." Yan Ling says with her palms put together, pretending to be respectful.
Liang Yi obviously doesn't believe Yan Ling's words, but he also finds a key point---this person may not be from the capital, which can also explain why Liang Yi doesn't know him.
As for those who have power or who have special influence outside the capital, Liang Yi is really not clear. However, it is easy for him to find out such a person due to his position and ability.
"In that case, is it really such a coincidence? You just didn't say what your name is?" Liang Yi pretends to believe her, and continues to ask.
"As long as he knows the name, even if it is just a fake name, it will be more convenient for him to investigate the identity of this person." Liang Yi thinks.
