Drinking at 8 o'clock

  Upon seeing this, Su Ying's eyebrows involuntarily wrinkled slightly.

  Like this man in front of us, from the moment he was born, he was destined to have endless wealth and glory, but he is not happy at all.

  So, this is just how the world is.

  A good birth does not necessarily mean a good family.

  Just as Su Ying was thinking about it, she saw the man laugh loudly and then raise his hand and wave.

  "Get out!"

  After saying this, the man again poured a large mouthful of strong liquor down his throat.

  The man was pouring too quickly, and some of the liquid accidentally spilled from his mouth, down his strong chin, into the hollow of his throat, and finally into his collar.

  A pretty boy is a pretty boy, no matter what he does, it's always good-looking and can't take his eyes off.

  Especially now, but seeing a man with a body of enchanting blood red, extremely charming and captivating.

  However, the desolation and sorrow revealed on the man's face made people feel a pang of compassion.

  However, a contradictory aura of "do not approach" emanated from the man's body. Perhaps this was why people didn't dare get close to him?

  At this time, when the man spoke, others would definitely retreat with courtesy, after all, in this era of clear hierarchy, the master was one's heaven, and the master's words could not be disobeyed.

  But at this moment...

  Looking at the despondency and disappointment between the man's eyebrows, Su Ying's own eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

  This man, why is he so lonely at this moment?

  These two expressions shouldn't appear on his face...

  As she thought of this, Su Ying's footsteps seemed to have a consciousness of their own, and instead of retreating, she walked forward.

  Su Ying is a person who does things entirely according to her own will, unrestricted and unbound.

  At this moment, seeing the man in front of her so sad and despondent, she really couldn't bear to leave.

  His own feet, as if they had their own consciousness, stepped one step at a time to the man's side.

  As the footsteps approached, Long Hua Xuan's action of raising his wine jug paused, and he was taken aback. He involuntarily turned his head slightly to look in the direction of the sound.

  When he saw that the black figure was already close at hand, Long Hao Xuan's blood-red eyes involuntarily widened slightly.

  However, the look of astonishment on the man's face only flickered for a moment before immediately returning to its usual calm and collected state. His face was as cold as ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.

  Those excessively bright red lips were slightly parted, and she spoke up.

  "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

  The man's voice was hoarse and not loud, but there was an unmistakable sense of oppression in his tone.

  There was also a chill emanating from his body, as if even the temperature around him had dropped significantly.

  If others saw it, they would definitely be frightened and want to leave as soon as possible, but this "others" did not include Su Ying.

  It's not that she didn't hear what he just said, nor is it that she didn't notice the man's indifference and coldness.

  However, Su Ying was not intimidated by the cold and fierce aura emanating from the man.

  Instead, she faced the man's calm and collected gaze, her lips curling up into a slight smile.

  "Your Highness, I have finished my shift today."

  "What??"

  When Su Ying said this, the man's good-looking eyebrows involuntarily slightly furrowed, and a hint of puzzlement flashed across his eyes.

  Perhaps knowing that Long Huaixuan didn't understand her meaning, Su Ying couldn't help but open her mouth to explain.

  Although I am a guard of the Fourth Prince's Manor, the shift time for the guards is five hours every day. Today, my shift has already ended, so now it's my free time. During this time, I am no longer a guard of the Fourth Prince's Manor, but myself.

  Although he knew that his words would be shocking and unconventional to the ears of these ancient people, who were used to a rigid class system, Su Ying still spoke bluntly.

  And these words fell into the man's ears, were they really shocking and astonishing?

  At this moment, Long Hao Xuan was shocked and amazed, looking at Su Ying's bloody eyes, his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't hide the incredulity in his eyes.

  It was as if he were sizing up the young man in front of him with a new gaze.

  Although Long Hao Xuan knew that the young man in front of him was different from others, he did not know that this young man would say such words to him today.

  Although, this young man is quite right.

  Although he is now a guard of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the guards at the Fourth Prince's Mansion also have shifts every day. After that shift is over, it is free time, and those guards can do whatever they want.

  As long as it doesn't go against the rules of the palace, it's fine.

  However, although this is the case, everyone also knows their own identity and in front of their masters or superiors, they are still respectful and dare not overstep.

  After all, the identity is already there, isn't it?

  However, this young man was really too astonishing for him.

  He also changed his self-address from "slave" to "I".

  Hehe, what an interesting young man!

  Long Hao Xuan thought to himself, his eyes involuntarily lingering on the young man's handsome and refreshing face for a moment.

  But seeing the young man facing his gaze, he was not afraid at all, and still smiled at him.

  Really astonishing?

  Although that was the case, Long Hao Xuan quickly regained his composure after being taken aback, and a faint smile appeared on his lips as he said.

  "You don't seem to be afraid of me, Your Majesty?"

  Although it was a question, the man's tone was very affirmative.

  From the moment he laid eyes on the young man in front of him, Long Hao Xuan knew that he was different from others.

  So he couldn't help but pay attention to this young man.

  Later, after coming into contact with this young man, he found out that the young man admired him but was not afraid of him.

  Also the first person who dared to look him straight in the eye...

  Now this young man actually says such a thing to him, isn't it interesting?

  What kind of family can raise such an interesting person?

  Moreover, he somehow felt that this young man seemed to be out of this world.

  After all, a young man's way of speaking and treating others is different from that of someone with a clear social status...

  Long Hao Xuan thought in his heart, he paid more attention and explored this young man.

  Compared to Long Hao Xuan, Su Ying on this side only gave a calm and collected gaze in response to the man's direct stare.

  Upon hearing the man's words, the corners of his mouth curled up even more, and he immediately spoke with a hint of playfulness.

  The prince is not born with three heads and six arms, a mouthful of fangs, and a ferocious face, why should I be afraid? Besides...

  Su Ying paused for a moment before continuing.

  I believe that the king is not a person who can't tell right from wrong and won't punish people without reason, so I'm not afraid."

  As she said this sentence, Su Ying was surprised at herself, why her tone was so firm and trusting towards the man in front of her.

  Perhaps it was this man who helped her bandage her wound.

  After all, in this era of strict hierarchy, a man like the one before me was born with a noble status and power that placed him high above others, standing at the pinnacle, while others could only crawl beneath his feet, gazing up at him with reverent eyes.

  However, a person like him would care about someone who is almost a stranger, which made Su Ying feel surprised and also confirmed in her heart.

  The man in front of me has a warm heart under his cold exterior.

  Is he just not good at expressing his emotions?

  Su Ying spoke the truth and didn't hide anything.

  But he didn't know that his words had caused a stormy sea in the man's heart.

  After all, this young man in front of him said that there was no flattery or fawning intention, his words were so honest.

  What shocked him the most was the boy's clear and transparent eyes.

  Black and white are distinct, clear and pure, paired with that heroic brow, making people know at a glance that he is an upright person.

  Moreover, this young man is very bold and actually said things that others dare not say.

  In this world, someone as wonderful as him is truly a rare find.

  Long Hao Xuan thought to himself, and his mouth couldn't help but curve into a slight smile.

  Hehe, you're the first person to dare say these things to me. Can only say that you have a big guts? But it seems not entirely, you make me feel really strange, just like...

  At this point, the man paused for a moment, furrowed his brow in thought, and said.

  "You seem like you're not from this world?"

  With a loud "boom", after hearing the man's words, Su Ying felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt on a clear day, her mind went blank, and her heart was also shocked, as if a bomb had suddenly been dropped.

  A heart, even more rapid and intense.

  Bang bang bang, jumping non-stop.

  And for this man in front of him, it was also a shock beyond words.

  What sharp insight?

  Suddenly one sentence revealed that she is not a person of this world?

  However, Su Ying also knew that the man was only surprised by her peculiarity and did not really know that she was not a person of this world.

  Otherwise, he might bind her up and burn her as a witch or demon.

  At the thought of it, Su Ying's heart skipped a beat with fear.

  However, his face was full of smiles as he said.

  "Your Highness is joking, if I weren't a person of this world, where else could I be from?"

  "Hmm, that's true..."

  Hearing Su Ying's words, Long Hua Xuan sneered and continued to raise the wine jug, pouring a large mouthful down his throat.

  Seeing the man drinking like he was drinking plain water, Su Ying's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  What is he thinking? This man is going to be the death of himself! Even if he has a good capacity for liquor, drinking like this will definitely harm his body.

  Su Ying thought to herself and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. It's hard to find a good man.

  However, her sigh caught the man's attention.

  Raising his head slightly, Long Hao Xuan saw Su Ying furrowing her brow and couldn't help but also furrow his own brow, asking with a hint of puzzlement.

  "What's wrong?"

  Uh...

  It wasn't until she heard the man's sudden words that Su Ying realized that her gaze had been fixed on him all along.

  Good heavens, how embarrassing! I just hope others won't misunderstand her and think she's got some kind of disability or something.
