Chapter 26.1: Stirrings of Love in the Youth

"Tsk. How cold blooded. We are still brothers afterall you know!" The man said as he clicked his tongue at the corner of his mouth. Climbing down off the soft lounge, he picked up the flask of wine from the table and took a long drag from its spout.

The crystal clear liquid spilled out from one end of his lips and dripped down from his perfectly sculpted chin, running down his neck and into his clothes.

"Ah Chi, I told you that you must not drink for awhile!" Xuanyuan Che creased up his brows, reaching out with his large hand to s.n.a.t.c.h the wine flask over.

The man was not bothered but merely propped his chin on one hand to look at Xuanyuan Che. "Is the Crown Prince always such a busybody? That he doesn't even allow people to drink?"

It had not been clear earlier with the light behind him, but after he had turned around, it could be seen that the man was extremely good looking, his pair of eyes that could smile from birth were able to hook away a person's soul, those brows more alluring and seductive that a woman's.

A pair of full luscious lips, glistening brightly under the nourishment of wine, were incomparably enchanting. They were curved up in a devilish smiling arc at that moment, giving of a feeling of a bad boy.

Xuanyuan Che could not help but lost his senses for a moment, before his gaze deepened. "I heard that Father came to see you. Did you reject him?"

"What a joke. He thinks he can see me just because he wants to. Who does he think he is! ?"

"Xuanyuan Chi, he is your Imperial Father!" Xuanyuan Che was a little displeased, and he called out his full name.

The man put a finger in his ear to dig it nonchalantly as he cast a sideways glance at Xuanyuan Che. "Have you gotten old and have grown forgetful? Ten years ago, he had already decreed to the world that he has broken off all ties with me! If not for you, I will not even care to come to this place!"

Pausing for a while, he then continued: "And one more thing. I am now called Mu Chi. Don't call me by the wrong name. Xuanyuan is the Imperial Family's surname and anyone using that surname carelessly will have to lose his head, and I still want to live for a few more years!"

Xuanyuan Che's eyes then dimmed.

The two of them, were originally the two most qualified candidates in compet.i.tion to become the heir apparent to the throne.

But because of an unforeseen accident, Xuanyuan Chi incurred the wrath of the Green Wave Emperor, causing him to fly into a rage and removed his t.i.tle as a prince, completely severing their ties as Father and son.

But the real reason behind it was not known by anyone.

Xuanyuan Che's character had been cold and one of indifference from young and only Xuanyuan Chi was able to really get him to play together. Hence, the two of them had naturally been inseparably close.

That incident had happened too suddenly and even Xuanyuan Che had not been prepared for it.

But Xuanyuan Chi who had always talked to him about everything had not said a word about that to him. After he endured the palace's punishment, he had then left the place without any hesitation.

And with that departure, it was for ten whole years.

Xuanyuan Che had only just met him about a year ago, the brothers reunited.

But it seemed like something had changed.

He was clearly still a jovial guy, who loves to play and laugh, but between them….. there seemed to be a certain kind of obstacle, and they were no longer able to return back to the way they were before.

Xuanyuan Che sat down beside him, and slowly opened his mouth to say: "Just why did you….. have to leave, to abandon your brother so callously?"

Back then, they had clearly said that, they would be brothers for life, never turning their backs to that brotherhood.

Mu Chi smiled, and slapped Xuanyuan Che on the back of his shoulder. "Why are you doing looking so gravely depressed? Who abandoned you, you strange freak? Is it because you couldn't find anyone to play with when I was not around?"

Xuanyuan Che stared fixedly at him, there wasn't the slightest bit of mirth in his expression.

Seeing Xuanyuan Che looking like that, Mu Chi then sighed and said helplessly: "Alright. I said that we are brothers, and we forever will be. No matter for whatever reason, it will never change."

That just clearly showed that he was not willing to speak much about that.
