A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor - Chapter 235

End of the Main Story (5)

Extra 1 – Gold and Jade Alliance (Ban Yuren x Li Yu)

In this small temple, many little bald men lived there.

They were called Huizhen, Huiming, and Huifang……

The only one who did not have his head shaved and did not have a Buddhist name was a very young man who hadn’t come of age. Although he wore a plain colored monk’s robe, it could not hide his beautiful appearance.

They called him “little young master”.

The little young master’s surname was Li, and his name was Yu.

He was the youngest son of the Marquis of Yanjin in Luoyang.

He came from a noble background but unfortunately couldn’t enjoy the blessings. Because he was sickly since childhood, he was said to be infested by evil spirits, so he could only be kept in the temple to wash away the evil spirits in his body.

The little monks took care of him.

They always kept him in mind when there was something good, so he was raised with a bit of the former pampered air.

At a time when summer had just begun, the temple maintained a pond of lotus flowers that somehow hadn’t bloomed yet.

The youth sat on the pond’s edge, hand supporting a long pole, and was about to get into the water when a little monk came running over. “Little young master! Little young master……”

“I don’t want to eat sour date cake today, toothache.” The young man answered without turning around.

“No, not sour date cake.” The little monk was breathless from running and said, “Your family is coming to find you.”

The young man stood up in a flash; his face showed joy, and his eyebrows and eyes lit up.

He fished out the hem of his water-stained monk’s robe and walked quickly toward the outside.

When he reached the temple entrance, the abbot and several respected senior brothers and uncles were already standing there.

The young man’s heart jumped for no reason, and he stepped out the door.

He didn’t see his parents, elder sister, or even the familiar male servants and wet nurses.

He saw a young man riding on a tall horse under the stone steps, wearing a jade crown and a white robe with a ten-thousand character and a vine pattern printed on the top, making him look handsome and elegant. A jade flute hung from his waist, the color glistening like his person.

The teenager stood there and momentarily failed to move.

The man was suddenly smiling, and the indifference between his eyebrows immediately went seven or eight points.

He stretched his hand towards the teenager and said, “Don’t you remember me, A-Yu? I am your brother-in-law.”

‘The one that hadn’t married yet.’

A-Yu thought to himself.

His elder sister was betrothed to Ban Yuren, the only son of the Ban family, when she was still in her mother’s womb.

Ban Yuren was a year older than his elder sister and five years his senior.

Three years ago, when he went home to visit his family, he vaguely remembered that Ban Yuren was a successful candidate in the highest imperial civil service examination. He was full of spirit and slowly became a member of the crown prince’s inner minister circle. But he heard the Ban family was imprisoned for a crime the day he left. His mother told them not to alienate Ban Yuren because of this; if he were released from prison, he would still be their son-in-law.

Had he been released?

A-Yu hesitantly walked forward.

At this time, Ban Yuren was also looking at him.

The little young master wearing a moon-white monk’s robe looked no different from when he was dressed in brocade and fur coat. He was born pure and beautiful.

Ban Yuren actually could not quite remember what Li Die’s younger brother looked like.

But when he saw him again, the teenager’s appearance was suddenly embedded in the bottom of his eyes.

He was like a piece of jade.

Living up to his name.

When Ban Yuren’s eyes moved slightly, he suddenly bent down and leaned over. He stretched out his hand and strongly clasped the teenager’s wrist, grabbing him with a strong grip. Then, he grabbed the scrawny teenager onto his horse’s back.

A-Yu jumped in shock and called out spontaneously, “Brother-in-law?”

Ban Yuren said in a loud voice, “Farewell!”

His voice was nice.

When it fell on A-Yu’s ears smoothly, it was like a musical instrument striking.

Ban Yuren strangled his horse and turned around, patting A-Yu’s butt as he said, “A-Yu, hold on tight.”

A-Yu’s eyes widened.

He was shocked at how the man could act crudely and impolitely with such the impression of a graceful gentleman.

However, he didn’t know this act could not even be considered crude and impolite compared to later.

Ban Yuren took him and traveled for three days and nights, finally stopping outside a manor house on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Outside the manor stood many pink-dressed maids.

The maids bowed towards them in unison, “Greetings, master.”

A-Yu couldn’t help but twist his head and ask, “Aren’t we going home?”

The man said casually, “A-Yu, this will be your home from now on.”

“I want to go back to my home in Luoyang City!”

Ban Yuren rolled over and dismounted, opening his arms towards him.

In these three days, Ban Yuren always did this kind of action. Because Li Yu couldn’t ride a horse, and he never learned. Every time he wanted to come down, someone had to carry him.

The sun was shining viciously overhead, calling for a minute of anxiety.

A-Yu hesitated for a moment but still jumped into Ban Yuren’s arms.

At this time, he heard Ban Yuren say, “Where do you have another home? A-Yu, more than 400 people in your family were all slaughtered in one night, and the murderer has not yet been found.”

A-Yu’s brain buzzed, and he involuntarily gripped the lapel of his coat.

Two lines of tears rolled down from his eyes.

Ban Yuren lowered his eyes and looked at his silent tears.
