The Target Always Thinks That I Like Him!
/ The Target Always Thinks That I Like Him! Chapter 3 part17
Hearing the little Crown Prince's words, Xiang Han gave a smile that wasn't quite a smile. He snorted, “En, I've seen it.”
Everyday, he could clearly see Song Rui Jian picking a fight with Zhao Ze, so how could he not know what this brat was thinking?
The little crown prince swallowed his saliva and carefully asked, “Then...what does Imperial Father think?”
“You may proceed.”
The little Crown Prince's eyes lit up as he persuaded with an artificial tone, “Imperial Father, teacher is still young and a major figure in the government. If he were to leave, I'm afraid the court will be unable to find someone suitable to replace the current Head of Secretary. Imperial Father needs to think thrice.”
Xiang Han closed his eyes and waved, “Zhen has decided, you don't need to say anymore.”
The little Crown Prince saw that he was tired and could only leave reluctantly.
What he didn't know was that the moment he left, the rebellious and disobedient Teacher Zhao came out from behind the screen. He leaned towards Xiang Han and planted a kiss before whispering, “After selecting so carefully, I didn't think we'd still chose an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.”
Xiang Han waved his hand, “Who told you to always bully him.”
After the little Crown Prince left, the feeling of something amiss continued to grow within him. His imperial father regarded Teacher Zhao so highly, how could he easily allow the other person to retire without even trying to stop him?”
He planned to continue probing Xiang Han's thoughts on this matter over the next two days. Unfortunately, he hadn't even had the time to act before Xiang Han announced he was going to inspect the country and ordered the Crown Prince to supervise the country.
The little Crown Prince was dumbfounded. He did not have time to react before Xiang Han had already packed his bags and left with Teacher Zhao, only leaving behind a letter for him.
After reading, the little Prince's expression instantly cracked.
Xiang Han did not have any intention of inspecting the states and directly went to the coastal region instead. Bringing along Teacher Zhao and Luo Bai, they sailed the seas.
The little Crown Prince was upset. It was too unfair, his imperial father refusing to bring him along to play, not even leaving behind Little Bai to make biscuits for him.
After Xiang Han left, four years flew by. He only came back after the little Crown Prince's coming of age ceremony and then directly abdicated, bringing Zhao Ze along and disappeared.
The little Crown Prince's heart might as well have been shattered into a million pieces. He tugged on his sleeves and pleaded, “Imperial Father, at least leave Minister Luo for your child, ah.”
Xiang Han was reluctant. Luo Bai made good food, he really could not bear to let him go.
Zhao Ze had long had enough of seeing Luo Bai, so he hurriedly helped to convince Xiang Han.
Xiang Han thought for a long time. Little Bai was talented, staying by his side as a chef was truly a waste. Moreover, he had just dug a pit for his cheap son and thus, reluctantly agreed to leave him a few capable and trustworthy ministers.
The two people disappeared for another four years and when they returned, it was because Song Rui Jiang was going to take an Empress.
The entire way back, Xiang Han was just thinking, this rascal was just like him: he did not like women. After he ascended the throne, he had rejected the idea of marrying an Empress. He wondered which maiden was powerful enough to capture his heart.
Xiang Han returned to Chang'an very quickly and before he even entered the palace, he was stopped by a crowd of sobbing old ministers crying, “Dowager Emperor, you need to stop His Majesty!”
Xiang Han's brows rose. When he entered the palace, Luo Bai also bitterly said, “Your Majesty, you have to urge...uh, the little Emperor, ah. This minister is almost thirty already and furthermore, I'm a man. This is not appropriate, ah.”
Song Rui Jian wore a red celebratory robe and took large strides forward. He dismissed the palace maids and said, “Imperial Father, you don't need to concern yourself with this matter. You threw the country to Zhen and roamed free and unfettered with Teacher Zhao for so many years, Zhen hadn't even uttered a single word of complaint. Today, Zhen only wishes to marry the person I like, it's not too much, right?”
Zhao Ze stood by the side and smiled, “It's not too much at all.”
“Uh…” Xiang Han was speechless. He carefully gazed at Luo Bai and secretly wondered, could it be that Little Bai cannot escape his fate of having a love affinity with the Emperor?
He seemed to finally understand why the world did not collapse despite not completing his main mission. Because Little Bai was the protagonist and as long as he ended up with the Emperor in the end, the mission cannot be considered a failure. As for who the Emperor was, ah, was that important? This was a novel centered around the shou protagonist.
In order to keep the world from collapsing, Xiang Han could only pat Luo Bai's shoulders solemnly and gravely say, “Little Bai, ah. That year, Zhen stole you from...cough, cough. In short, Zhen is returning one to you. Your life is predestined to end up together with a monarch and changing it is not bad. At least Zhen's son isn't a scum and as long as you don't hate him, why don't you just put up with him?”
Song Rui Jian was not satisfied, “What do you mean put up with, is there anything bad about being with Zhen?”
Therefore, when Luo Bai was changed into a set of ceremonial empress robes, his head was still spinning. “That year, this servant only wanted to learn a few more culinary skills and open a restaurant, but never thought…”
He became an imperial chef then went on a marine expedition. He became a general and now, the Empress.
Song Rui Jian smiled happily, “Little Bai, a general who doesn't want to become the Empress isn't a good chef, ah.”
Xiang Han and Zhao Ze did not stay too long in the palace before Song Rui Jian disdained them for getting in his way, constantly interrupting his intimate time with his Empress. In the end, he chased them away.
Xiang Han, “I never thought there would be a day we would be snubbed like that.”
Zhao Ze, “I already told you before, that brat is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.”
Both of them travelled across famous mountains and great rivers, ultimately settling down at an imperial residence in Jiang Nan to pass the rest of their days in peace. On Xiang Han's 60th birthday, Song Rui Jian stepped down and handed the throne over to his nephew. He took Luo Bai and also came to this imperial residence to live.
Xiang Han accompanied Zhao Ze everyday, watching flowers and catching fish. Occasionally, he would even learn some culinary skills from Luo Bai.
As for Xiang Han's cooking, Song Rui Jian only tried it once and never did again. But Zhao Ze would always eat it all up happily. When there was no one around, he would hug Xiang Han's waist and whisper, “This servant is lucky to be able to eat His Majesty's hand-cooked food.”
Although Xiang Han had retired long ago, he still liked to use that form of address when they were alone.
Xiang Han continued to accompany Zhao Ze until they were more than eighty. Before the other man could die of old age, the system forcefully pulled him back. Right before he left, Zhao Ze's clouded eyes were filled with grief, causing Xiang Han to feel heart-broken.
Entering the simulation space, he only recovered his senses after half a day before he asked in disappointment, “Why couldn't you wait a little…”
At least...for Zhao Ze to leave first before pulling him back.
Big A coughed lightly, “It's like this, everytime when you leave first, the general's consciousness will fluctuate and thus, it has the highest probability of creating a resonance. That's why...we let you ‘die' first.”
Xiang Han frowned and asked, “Until now, how many times has it fluctuated?”
“Four times,” Big A lifted up four fingers and explained, “The first time was when you left halfway through and caused yourself to fall into a coma for over ten days in front of Lu Ze. The second time was when you ‘died' in front of Zhou Yue Ze. The third time was when you, cough cough, with Zhao Ze, and the fourth time was just now.”
Saying this, he shrugged and continued regretfully, “But it's a pity there wasn't resonance even once.”
