Chapter 156: Getting Along
Lin Yuan finally knew what it was like for the emperor no longer attending morning assembly.
Chen Baisong was like a lion, his face and body was covered with sweat, his whole person was full of despair, his arms were as strong as steel, his body was fiery hot, but his eyes were full of contentment at long-cherished wishes being fulfilled and the despair of having no tomorrow.
He thought he was going to die, and this was the reward he got before he died.
Lin Yuan looked up at Chen Baisong''s face, which clearly looked very ferocious, but to him it appeared very sexy.
Lin Yuan''s fingers sank into Chen Baisong''s muscles, and he could feel the scars on Chen Baisong''s skin.
Chen Baisong''s body was hot, but his heart was cold.
He couldn''t figure out what Lin Yuan was thinking, and he didn''t understand why Lin Yuan was lying under him at this time.
But he knew that this was the happiest and most despairing moment of his life.
He bowed his head reverently and captured Lin Yuan''s lips.
It was this mouth that spoke frightening words.
He was always worried that he would not be able toplete the tasks entrusted to him by Lin Yuan and could not hold up to Lin Yuan''s expectations. He forced himself to move forward, leaving no retreat and never looking back.
Lin Yuan felt water dropletsnd on his face, he thought it was Chen Baisong''s sweat.
But when he looked up, he found that it was Chen Baisong''s tears.
Lin Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe away Chen Baisong''s tears, but was brought away to another world by Chen Baisong''s ferocious movements.
Lin Yuan didn''t know when he fell asleep, but he slept very deeply, and it was rare that he could sleep so well. Pillowing his head on Chen Baisong''s shoulder, the tip of his nose was surrounded with the scent of sweat on Chen Baisong''s body, but he didn''t find it unpleasant.
Er Liang was guarding the door, and he had already sent all the people who served him away when Chen Baisong entered.
Er Liang was a servant, he didn''t think anything of men being with men, he took the master''s will as his will.
Even if the young master slept with a monster, he still had to guard the door well.
Being a servant, sometimes one must know to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Being a smart person never ends well.
When dawn was about to break, Er Liang cautiously walked to the bedside and called softly, "Your Majesty, today.."
Lin Yuan''s somewhat muffled voice came from inside: "Just say that Zhen has been too tired these days and is not feeling well, Zhen will not be attending morning assembly."
Er Liang bowed his head: "Yes."
He really wanted to open the bed curtains; just how did Chen Baisong, a man who did not resemble a woman at all, manage to fascinate the young master.
If it was Chu Lin, he would understand, but Chen Baisong..
Er Liang shuddered.
He really hoped it was not like what he thought, the young master was not on top, because that was such a big loss on the young master''s part.
After Lin Yuan finished talking to Er Liang, he put his head on Chen Baisong''s shoulder again. Chen Baisong had tired himself outst night, and he hadn''t woken up yet, but his brows were wrinkled in his sleep. A pair of big hands were still resting on Lin Yuan''s waist. The calluses on them were thick and rough, but Lin Yuan felt veryfortable.
He actually couldn''t tell what kind of feelings he had for Chen Baisong.
Say it''s love? It didn''t seem right.
Friendship? No one had ever brought a friend to bed.
Or maybe there was a little love, but other feelings were mixed in it, and it was not pure.
But he was sure that he was possessive towards Chen Baisong, and for so many years he knew clearly that Chen Baisong did not ever have a woman.
There were neither men nor women, Chen Baisong lived like an ascetic monk.
He also knew Chen Baisong''s feelings for him.
When he heard someone persuade Chen Baisong to get married, he could feel anger surging in him.
Any feelings when taken to the extreme were always exclusive and selfish.
So Lin Yuan gave up thinking and acted on instinct, doing whatever he thought of.
He was lying in Chen Baisong''s arms. He didn''t know if he would regret it in the future, but he didn''t regret it at this moment.
The only thing he regretted was that he shouldn''t have fed Chen Baisong that cup of wine before going to bedst night. It was sent by Chen Half-Immortal and did not have ill effects on the body, nor did it make one lose consciousness. On the contrary, it could even nurse one''s bodily functions.
He didn''t know if Chen Baisong''s bodily health had been nursed or not, but he only knew that his butt hurt now.
Lin Yuan''s thoughts wandered all over the ce for a while, then fell asleep again.
"This official, deserves ten thousand deaths for my sin." Lin Yuan was awakened by the sound of someone begging for forgiveness.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Chen Baisong kneeling beside the bed without any clothing covering his bareness, with his head lowered and his hands clenched into fists.
Chen Baisong''s hair was wet with sweat fromst night, and it was notpletely dry yet.
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and said, "Either climb up on this bed or get out."
Chen Baisong didn''t move, as if he had turned into a statue.
He couldn''t just walk out of herepletely naked, could he?
Lin Yuan sneered: "Move, why are you kneeling stupidly?"
Chen Baisong wanted to reach for some clothes.
Lin Yuan''s foot stepped down on his clothes.
Chen Baisong looked at Lin Yuan''s feet. Lin Yuan rarely walked on the ground. Even if he went out for a long journey, he would still have a carriage. His toes were round, the instep was slightly arched, his skin was fair and delicate, and there were no calluses.
Chen Bosong''s breathing suddenly became heavy, and his Adam''s apple rolled up and down.
Lin Yuan stepped on Chen Baisong''s thigh.
"The crime of insubordination." Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Go under the knife. In the future, you will be a eunuch and serve by my side, en?"
Chen Baisong''s eagle woke up, stuck his head out, and seemed eager toe out and have a big fight.
But Chen Baisong himself was still sensible and his brain was still working. He swallowed and said, "This official, deserves to die."
Lin Yuan withdrew his foot: "Indeed you deserve to die."
Chen Baisong''s heartbeat slowed a few beats.
Lin Yuan said, "Chen Baisong, were you so timid before?"
"You were much more courageousst night than you are now."
Chen Baisong pursed his lips into a straight line, his voiceing out with difficulty: "It''s me..I''ve offended.."
Lin Yuan raised his head: "I allowed it."
Chen Baisong raised his head and looked at Lin Yuan with eyes like torches.
If the eyes have power, Lin Yuan would have been pierced by Chen Baisong''s eyes.
Lin Yuan asked him, "Do you regret what happenedst night?"
Chen Baisong shook his head without even having to think about it.
Lin Yuan: "Then what are you afraid of? Afraid that I will eat you?"
When Chen Baisong heard the word "eat", the eagle was practically about to spread its wings.
Lin Yuan also saw it, and Chen Baisong covered it with a flushed face.
He thought ofst night.
Chen Baisong felt his mouth dry.
Last night, he seemed to have lost all reason, and only knew to use all his strength to embrace the person in front of him.
Lin Yuan: "Don''t hide it, I''ve seen everything I should see, does it hurt?"
When Lin Yuan mentioned it, Chen Baisong finally felt the pain. After all, it was made of flesh, and it was difficult for him to even walk with the pain from having done it too much.
Lin Yuan also mocked him: "Eight times, even an iron bar would be broken."
Chen Baisong''s face turned even redder.
When he was in the barracks, almost all of his personal guards had paramours, and as it was lonely at night, sometimes they would talk about their paramours.
He never felt anything when he heard it.
What joy was there in doing that? It was no different from using your own hands.
But now he understood the difference between doing that thing and using your own hand, it could not bepared.
"Don''t go anywhere today, stay with me here." Lin Yuan lifted the quilt.
Chen Baisongy down obedientlyhe felt like he was dreaming, but the dream was too real. The more real it was, the more frightened it made him. He was afraid that if it was really a dream and he woke up, what would be of him.
Lin Yuan was already leaning back on his shoulder.
A hand was also ying with Chen Baisong''s hand: "I''m going to do infrastructure construction."
Chen Baisong was in a daze.
Lin Yuan continued as if speaking to himself: "Currently, there are still too few jobs. Only by promoting infrastructure construction and increasing jobs can themon people have work to do. With fewer people idle, society will be more stable. In contrast, with more people idle, all kinds of crimes will happen."
Chen Baisong was still in a daze.
Lin Yuan sighed and said, "It''s just that it''s difficult to implement, let''s start with the capital, what do you think?"
Chen Baisong watched Lin Yuan hold his hand, but he just watched without moving.
Lin Yuan was exasperated, reached out and patted Chen Baisong''s forehead, Chen Baisong then returned to his senses: "What did you say?"
Lin Yuan sighed: "Forget it, it''s useless to say anything to you now."
Just when Lin Yuan was about to get up to have a bath and read the memorials, Er Liang''s voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, it''s time for breakfast."
Lin Yuan: "Bring it in."
Er Liang brought it in alone.
Breakfast consisted of two bowls of porridge, two fried dough sticks, a few steamed dumplings, and two salted duck eggs.
Lin Yuan called Chen Baisong over to eat with him.
Chen Baisong didn''t refuse, he moved in small steps, and if he stepped a little to wide, it would hurt.
When he sat down, the muscles all over his body tensed.
Lin Yuan couldn''t helpughing: "You look like you have it harder than me."
Although his butt hurt, it didn''t hurt to the point where he had to walk in small steps.
Chen Baisong drank the porridge. He was still in a daze. He felt that this must be real, but he also felt that he was still dreaming. He was very conflicted, drinking the porridge without tasting it and scalding his throat.
Seeing his conflicted expression, Lin Yuan knew that he had scalded his throat and asked Er Liang to bring a cup of cold tea.
"You say something." Lin Yuan urged.
Chen Baisong pursed his lips tightly.
Lin Yuan felt like he was forcing a good maiden to be a prostitute, and sighed, "I''m afraid that your throat will be injured and it will be troublesome to talk in the future."
Chen Baisong: "There''s no problem."
When Lin Yuan heard his hoarse voice, he knew that it must have been scalded.
But it was not like one could rub the scald medicine in the throat.
Lin Yuan sighed.
"Speaking of scald medicine, I''m going to prepare to have the medicine merchants fence offnd for arge-scale nting of herbal medicine." Lin Yuan ate a mouthful of fried dough sticks, "If it is sessful, there will be medicine fields everywhere in the future, but it''s not very easy to process them."
"It would be great if I could find talents in this field."
The biggest problem with traditional Chinese medicine was that it was difficult to process and cure. Only after processing and curing could traditional Chinese medicine be stored for a longer time.
But processing and curing was a craft, and even the medical clinics couldn''t guarantee how long the traditional Chinese medicine processed and cured by themselves could be stored for.
If it identally became damp and moldy, the medicine would be wasted.
Lin Yuan wanted people to develop western medicine, but he didn''t understand it himself, so he couldn''t describe it.
It seemed that he could only think of a wayter.
But there was one thing that could be done.
Over-the-counter drugs, especially formon diseases such as colds. The doses of adults and children would be separated. After the diagnosis, there was no need for the doctor to measure out the medicine and the patient could just buy the medicine directly.
Lin Yuan informed the medical department and asked the doctors to do research on their own.
He had a bunch of ahead of the times concepts, but unfortunately it was difficult to implement them.
Lin Yuan nced at Chen Baisong and sighed.
Don''t know when Chen Baisong would be able to get along with him morefortably and naturally.
