Arc 3: Chapter 17
Lin Yuan couldn’t fully understand Jiang Qian’s pain. No one could. Any person was unable to completely feel another's pain.
But his heart hurt for Jiang Qian. He was so distressed that he would rather Jiang Qian be a purely bad person. If Jiang Qian was a bad person, then he wouldn’t feel miserable and disappointed to this point.
Lin Yuan could only hug Jiang Qian tightly, kiss his cheeks, kiss his lips, and coax him gently: “Of course you’re worthy, who said you can’t compare? You’re already very, very good. Jiang Qian, in my heart, you are the best.”
Jiang Qian shook his head in Lin Yuan’s arms. He was not good. He had been a bad person for a long, long time.
The pair of hands that used to read and write now held a sword and killed people. Where was the goodness?
Lin Yuan was unhappy seeing Jiang Qian refute himself like this. He calculated Jiang Qian’s merits using his hands: “You are good at studying and won first place in the country. And you are the first liu yuan in history. Even if you gave me another thousand years to study, I wouldn’t be able to do it.”
“Also you are very handsome. No one in the city can compare to your looks, man or woman.”
“And…… you are determined. When I brought you back from Prince Yanping’s mansion, even though you were unimaginably hurt, you didn’t give up and survived. If other people had to go through what you did, then they would’ve already abandoned life. But you endured it all.”
Lin Yuan said everything sincerely and seriously. He truly believed that Jiang Qian was the best.
“And, and, Jiang Qian, there is no one else like you. You became a second-ranked admiral straight from slavery. You are very, very powerful, where is it not good?”
As he thought of Jiang Qian, his love, and all that the other had to go through, Lin Yuan’s own eyes became red-rimmed and slightly damp. He looked into Jiang Qian’s eyes with unknown grievance as if he was about to cry.
“Where are you not good?”
“Jiang Qian, you’re so amazing, where are you bad? You’re already really good. Truly. You are good enough……”
Jiang Qian quietly listened to Lin Yuan’s words and listened as Lin Yuan called him good over and over again. His lips suddenly curved and his hand rose to cup Lin Yuan’s cheek. His cold fingers were finally dyed with Lin Yuan’s warmth.
All of Jiang Qian’s warmth came from Lin Yuan. Since long ago, the source of his body temperature was Lin Yuan. Alone, he was just an empty and cold living corpse.
Jiang Qian thought to himself that when Lin Yuan entered the Admiral’s mansion, the number of bodyguards around the house should be doubled, no, tripled.
This way, even if Lin Yuan regretted being with him one day in the future, even if Lin Yuan’s heart cooled and took back his promises, even if Lin Yuan no longer wanted to grow old with him, it didn’t matter.
As long as Lin Yuan couldn’t leave, he would stay by his side forever.
In life or death, he would never leave.
That was enough.
Jiang Qian thought of such an ending and was extremely satisfied. When he and Lin Yuan died, their ashes would be mixed together, unable to be distinguished.
In this world, nothing would be better.

The sky outside was bright and Jiang Qian, who had not slept all night, reluctantly let go of the sleeping Lin Yuan.
Before getting out of bed, he looked at Lin Yuan’s peaceful sleeping face and couldn’t help pressing a kiss and whispered: “Sui Sui allowed me to lock you up today. Sui Sui can’t regret it afterwards. I don’t want to force Sui Sui, so Sui Sui has to behave, okay?”
Of course, Lin Yuan didn’t answer him, but Jiang Qian took his silence as acquiescing.
After bathing, Jiang Qian put on a white brocade robe with embroidered moon designs and ordered Lü Yi and the others to start packing. He also made Lin Qiu give him half of the workers in Lin courtyard.
At this point, Jiang Qian’s words were equivalent to Lin Yuan’s order, so Lin Qiu quickly agreed.
Once everything was ready, Jiang Qian woke Lin Yuan up and helped him to get ready.
Lin Yuan ate breakfast in a sleepy daze and was led into the carriage. Once he sat down, he slowly woke up. He looked at the moving carriage and just remembered that he allowed Jiang Qian to lock himself up last night. So…he took the initiative to go to the little black room?
521 patted Lin Yuan’s shoulder: “Senior, you finally reacted.”
Lin Yuan was nestled in Jiang Qian’s embrace and he tilted his head up slightly. He first saw the man’s pale chin, then slightly curved lips, drooping eyelashes, and quiet eyes like a pool of stagnant water.
Jiang Qian noticed Lin Yuan’s movements and looked down, his eyes rippling with gentle waves: “Is something wrong?”
Lin Yuan smiled happily and his dimples bloomed: “I feel like you are very happy today. Is it because you’re going to lock me up?”
Jiang Qian’s thoughts were accurately guessed. He looked at Lin Yuan’s smile and felt the tip of his heart soften.
Jiang Qian lowered his head and his lips brushed Lin Yuan’s dark hair.
How can Lin Yuan be so good?
Even obediently walking into the cage.
Was it because of himself?
Jiang Qian thought that he was really an insatiable and greedy person. He wanted Lin Yuan’s indulgence, and he wanted Lin Yuan’s willingness for a lifetime.
“Yes.”
Jiang Qian’s voice was soft and his gaze was overwhelming: “I’m happy, very happy. I want to lock Sui Sui up, so that Sui Sui will always stay by my side and never leave me.”
Lin Yuan knew it would be like this. Jiang Qian didn’t trust his words from the beginning and didn’t believe that they would stay together for a lifetime.
But he didn’t blame thim. If Jiang Qian was still the Jiang Qian of the Jiang family, the high-spirited young man whose achievements were known throughout the country, then he wouldn’t feel insecure or worry about uncertainty.
Lin Yuan sighed heavily in his heart. Well, what else could he do? Who made him like his husband so much? Since he liked the other so much, he could only spoil him.
The little black room it is.
Lin Yuan thought back to the novels that he read before. What were other people’s little black rooms like? They seemed to be…… indescribable to say the least.
He thought of some messy scenes and his whole body flushed like it was cooked.
Jiang Qian saw that his little prince was suddenly acting shy and couldn’t understand.
Jiang Qian lifted up Lin Yuan’s blushing face and asked softly: “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”
Lin Yuan reddened even more and quickly hid his face in Jiang Qian’s neck.
Jiang Qian was even more confused. He gently pinched the back of Lin Yuan’s hot neck and said into the other’s ear: “Sui Sui, what’s going on? Tell me, tell me.”
Lin Yuan definitely wouldn’t tell him. He quickly shook his head and muttered: “......not telling……I won’t say……”
Jiang Qian was curious and coaxed, kissed, and cheated until he got Lin Yuan to talk.
Lin Yuan didn’t dare make eye contact with Jiang Qian. His round apricot eyes were full of tears and the ends of his eyes were red. He obediently leaned towards Jiang Qian’s ear and whispered: “Jiang Qian…”
Lin Yuan was so nervous he started stammering: “You…… you can lock me up… but…… but you can’t force…… force me to do strange things…… you can’t……”
Jiang Qian still didn’t quite understand what his little prince was talking about. He kissed Lin Yuan on the face and said lovingly: “What do you mean strange things? We’ve been husbands for a long time, those things can’t be called strange right?”
Lin Yuan shook his head and said: “Not that! That doesn’t count, I’m talking about……”
He was shy again. He hesitated for a bit and picked up Jiang Qian’s hand and put it over his flat stomach and said slowly: “You…… you can’t tell me to have a baby…… I…… I’m a man, I can’t give birth……”
In those little dark rooms, all of them said it like this. The people locked in the little dark room had to give birth in order to go outside. He was afraid that Jiang Qian would think the same.
Jiang Qian’s mouth suddenly felt dry and something hot burned in his eyes.
Even if his Sui Sui was a man, what his little prince said was very interesting. Occasionally…… playing like this was okay.
The hand on Lin Yuan’s stomach rubbed twice and Jiang Qian smiled slightly. He said meaningfully: “En, I know. I won’t make Sui Sui give birth.”
Lin Yuan was relieved and nodded happily, not knowing that he had opened a road he’d soon regret.
He hugged Jiang Qian and whispered: “Jiang Qian, you’re the best.”
Jiang Qian had heard these words many times, but he still did not feel secure enough. He pinched the other’s chin and said a little coldly: “I’m going to lock you up for a lifetime. You won’t be able to go anywhere, are you still okay with it?”
