Ling Xiao stand up from his chair then proceed to removed his armor, leaving him only with his inner robes. He made it at the same room of the sleeping person. He was not ashamed to show his body to Li Yun, he was even shameless because he wanted to show it off to him to gained his adoring and scanning eyes but the person was asleep.
Asleep? Well, Li Yun was not asleep. He was talking to the void inside his mind about his plans.
Li Yun was now aware that Li Yan's virginity was now given to the second prince according to the system's notification.
*ping*
[ While host fight for his life in the battlefield, the protagonist shou tumbled and fight between the sheets with the fake male lead...~~ ]
' They were really following the story, ah! What a powerful Plot God!!! '
Li Yun opened his eyes and what welcomed him was the muscular and manly body of the crowned prince with no. clothes. on!
System: [ Hahaha! He was seducing you, host~~]
Li Yun rolled his eyes secretly. He looked at the back of the crowned prince. It was full of scars and fresh wounds. He can't help but be worried about it. He stand up and tiptoed quietly at the side to fetch some water and medicine to treat it.
Ling Xiao was unaware that his beloved feasted his eyes on his body. He continued to change his clothes, his back toward the bed. He arranged his own hair and tied it with a simple black ribbon. He turned his head behind him and noticed that the sleeping person disappeared.
Li Yan completed his task with the help of the system. The system indicated every correct medicinal herb around the vicinity that should be use to treat Ling Xiao's wounds. Luckily, he didn't encounter some enemies while venturing. He gently picked the herbs and placed it in his basket.
----
" Xiao Yun? Where did you go? I even sent out some men to find you because of your sudden disappearance! "
Li Yun went inside the tent and what welcomed him was the living photo of the web drama's promotional photo that was brought to life. He staggered a bit and nearly dropped what he was holding.
Oh my fudge! This was... fudging awesome!!! I didn't thought that the web drama really don't exaggerated his princely and handsome aura when wearing robes.
Ling Xiao saw it and carried Li Yun in princess style in the couch. He didn't let go of him despite his cute protests.
" Now. Tell me why you suddenly disappeared. "
" T-The basket! "
Ling Xiao held Li Yun's hand while gently carressing it. He feel the warmth of the hand and squeezed it.
' Hey, prince! Don't be touchy feely to me!'
Li Yun wryly smiled while tugging his hand away from the crowned prince's that he firmly held.
----[ Oh? The Plan B was smoothly proceeding. Why do you want to protest, host?~~]
Actually, Li Yun was a little virgin. He was not touched by a man like this. It was his first time so he was a little flustered.
Ming Lan hugged, kissed his cheek, hold his hand often but he was not flustered, unlike this time because it was a man.
" Your Highness, this one gathered some medicine to treat your wounds. "
Li Yun kindly informed the shameless crowned prince while eyeing the basket filled with herbs on the ground that was tossed because of their bickering.
" Wounds? I don't have any. "
Ling Xiao's response made Li Yun inwardly smirked.
"But I clearly saw it at your back. The blood, the scars and the injuries. "
Ling Xiao froze then his seductive laughter came out from his thin lips.
" You saw this prince... naked. I should really marry you, Li Yun. "
" Shut up! "
Li Yun pouted while picking the basket. He proceed in preparing the herbs at the side. He dampen a piece of white cotton cloth and ordered the prince to disrobe.
The crowned prince obeyed. He stripped his robe, leaving only his trousers.
Li Yun: OAO *spurts blood from nose*
" Do you like what you see? "
Ling Xiao teasingly asked when he noticed the young man focusing his gaze at him.
'I really wanted to kiss you right now, Xiao Yun'
" Are you kidding? Now, sit there! I'll treat your wounds. "
Li Yun glared at Ling Xiao. He didn't know it incite Ling Xiao's desire to kiss Li Yun more.
Li Yun earnestly treated Ling Xiao. He cleaned his wounds, apply some herbs then cover it with clean cloth. Afterwards someone dragged his hand above his head and pinned him down at the couch.
" Are you doing this to gain some favor? or you are seducing me? "
Li Yan was confused. 'Favor? I'm not your lover or whatnot, ah!'
Ling Xiao released his hold and sighed. Li Yun was really clueless. Maybe he was the one assuming the other party was deliberately seducing him this time.
" Prepare yourself. We're going to the capital. There will be a feast there and... I'll marry someone from your family soon. "
Ling Xiao left the tent. Li Yun remained lying at the couch and rested his cheek to his hand.
' He's really toying with me earlier! That marriage proposal was all a joke. He will still marry the protagonist. '
----[ Host, we're approaching your fated death scenario.~~You should think of a way how to reconcile the two before you die.~~]
[ I'll not drink the poison, ah. What am I? An idiot? I'm not that lovestruck Li Yun, ah! ]
Li Yun went outside the tent and prepared himself. He wore a light blue robe and tied his hair with a jade hairpin. He look more scholarly than a soldier now. It was like, he was not a soldier from the start.
A female warrior approached Li Yun and punched him softly at the arm.
[ Li Yun! Please take care! I hope we met again in the future! And... We're still friends, right? ]
Wei Xi Yan smiled with tears in her eyes, she hugged Li Yun and gently left.
" Of course! Our friendship still counts! Until the very end, Wei Jie."
Li Yun shouted to the retreating figure. Wei Xi Yan stopped and abruptly turned then she flashed a really dazzling smile.

What really was Li Yun's plans?
Li Yun was currently sitting at a chair at their family residence. A few days ago, he arrived here from the country's border where the army camp was situated. He also received a gift from someone. It was a quill pen that came from the west.
He tinkered it and with great effort, learned to use it for writing. He wrote his detailed plan in English at a clean paper to remind himself. This days, his life was very exciting and a little chaotic.
Plan A: Seduce The Prince
Seduce the prince to avoid the marriage agreement. Forced the prince to marry me while using the arranged marriage formed by the two families as a card. In return, Ling Xiao and Li Yan will separate ways and live a happy and normal life with their respective partners.
Possible Resulted Scenarios:
Ling Xiao might used the reason of me being a man to avoid to marry me. He can still marry me but he will make me his concubine or plaything though.
---That was not a problem. My real aim was the two to separate ways. Ling Zhen will not let Li Yan out of his sight if Li Yan was married to him. This way, Li Yan will not put green hat to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao might get married to a nobilty. He may attain happiness in that.
Status: Failed
Plan B
Befriend the crowned prince. Show excellent performance at the battlefield. Let the prince know the shocking truth about his Li Yan's affair then persuade him to let it slide.
The two will separate ways and will attain their happiness.
Possible Scenarios:
As a friend, I can persuade Ling Xiao to eradicate the hidden dangers at the palace before and after the banquet. I will not be taking the poison that was originalliy intended to him and my life as the crowned prince's trusted friend will start.
Status: Ongoing
Li Yun smiled while folding the paper. He can't help but chuckle a bit because his plan B was really going well.
The crowned prince even dared to joke around him these last few days. He even think about marrying him. He even proposed in front of many soldiers and warriors and told that he was taking him as his wife.
The crowned prince also dared to teased him by pinning him down at the couch. His actions were really different at private than in front of the public.
Is this the effect of him being a hardworking sodier and his good archery skils? or his efforts paid off like helping the crowned prince taked care of his necessities such as 1.food, (Li Yan cooked it himself. He also made some for other soldiers.),2. clothing, (He prepared the armor and robes of the crowned prince neatly everyday.) and 3.helping him let out some of his frustations.
(They talked about it under the moonlight occasionally)
He was like a full time nanny and friend, right?
Li Yan checked his clothes if there were any holes or misplaced seams. He also checked if he brought the letter with him. He placed it inside his robe and patted it. He heaved a sigh and went outside the residence and hopped on a carriage.
The I-should-marry-him scene will be played live infront of Li Yun later and also his special drink will also be served at the banquet.
This was also the time that Li Yan will declare his love to Ling Xiao big time and this will lead to the last chapter scenario the I-realized-lately-that-I-love-you scene starring Ling Xiao and Li Yan.
Li Yun can't help but be excited.
