Chapter 164 The Charm of the Young Prince

Qingqing saw Qingyi walk in and quietly watched his master draw the treasure map without making any noise. Was he afraid of disturbing his master?

Qing Yi watched the wolf hair brush in Ye Qingyu's hand moving across the white silk, ink flowing from the tip of the brush to draw winding mountains, even the small mechanisms hidden in the dense forest were clearly drawn.

At this time, Ye Qingyu's study was extremely quiet.

Qingfeng, Qingqing and Qingyi seemed to be watching carefully how Ye Qingyu traced the complicated treasure map onto the silk stroke by stroke, but they all seemed to have their own thoughts, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Half a day passed quickly, and by dinner time, a quarter of the treasure map had been drawn. Ye Qingyu felt tired and could not help but stand up, pounding his waist, and looked up to meet three pairs of staring eyes.

"Huh? What are you looking at?" Ye Qingyu couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Ye, I've wanted to persuade you to take a rest for a long time, but I was afraid of disturbing you!" Qing Yi said.

"Master, I'll go get some water so you can wash up and then serve dinner, okay?" he asked softly.

"Okay, go ahead!" Ye Qingyu nodded, then looked at Qingfeng, wondering in his heart: Has Qingfeng also been watching here for half a day?

"Master, this subordinate..." Qingfeng didn't know how to explain. He didn't understand why he was also in the study, watching his master draw the treasure map. Perhaps it reminded him of the past, when his master painted and Mingyue ground ink, and he watched silently beside him, occasionally listening to their discussion about the painting.

Qing Yi looked at the finished silk and said, "Xiao Ye, you're amazing! You can draw such a complicated thing perfectly!"

"It's a bit tiring, just stay still and wait for it to dry."

"Oh, I see."

At this time, water was brought gently to help the master wash.

Qing Yi was watching from the side and suddenly said, "Qingqing, Qingfeng, is dinner ready? I'm starving!" Qing Yi's intention was very obvious to chase people away.

Qingqing and Qingfeng could of course hear it, and looked at their master, waiting for his instructions.

Ye Qingyu said nothing, picked up the handkerchief that was gently handed to her and slowly wiped the water droplets off her face.

Seeing this, Qingqing took the handkerchief that her master had used to wipe her, picked up the copper basin, and said, "Master, I'll go check on dinner!"

Qingfeng was even more straightforward. Without making excuses, he said directly, "Master, I will take my leave."

Ye Qingyu still didn't say anything, but Qingqing and Qingfeng quickly left the study.

The door creaked shut, and Qing Yi immediately moved behind Ye Qingyu, placing his hands on his waist: "You must be exhausted after painting for half a day. Let me massage your waist for you."

Ye Qingyu glanced at Qing Yi and said, "Nothing, no need."

"Come on, I'm very skilled." Qing Yi didn't allow Ye Qingyu to refuse, and his hands had already touched the waist of the person in front of him. Ye Qingyu's heart trembled, but he did not move away, allowing those hands to gently massage his waist with moderate strength. After a few times, it was indeed comfortable and relieved the pain in his waist. He was so comfortable that he couldn't help but close his eyes.

However, these hands were only obedient for a while, and gradually began to wander up and down his body. Ye Qingyu's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened and he pushed Qing Yi away.

"Hey, what's wrong, Xiaoye?" Qingyi tilted his head and leaned closer. "Is my technique wrong? Or is it..."

"You...stop making trouble." Ye Qingyu didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong with me? Why are you pushing me? Am I uncomfortable with your massage?" Qing Yi pretended to be innocent.

"Okay, let's go eat." Ye Qingyu didn't intend to argue. This kid did it on purpose.

"Okay, okay, but Xiaoye, wait a minute, I want to say something to you." Qing Yi said seriously.

"Well, what's up?"

"That's right..." Qing Yi said it in a flash, and immediately embraced Ye Qingyu. Ye Qingyu, who was very agile, didn't react at all. What happened to this kid? So he didn't move, letting Qing Yi hold him.

Qing Yi did not say anything, but put his arms around the person in front of him, and then began intimate contact, slowly exploring from the tip of the ear to the cheek. Finally, when he reached the corner of the mouth, Ye Qingyu turned his head to the side and dodged.

"Xiao Ye..." Qing Yi's breath was warm against his ear, "When you were painting... I would..." He suddenly lowered his head and explored her lips again, causing Ye Qingyu to tremble all over.

“…” Ye Qingyu looked at the person in front of him silently without saying a word.

"You don't know how beautiful you looked just now!" Qing Yi rubbed his cheek with the tip of his nose, full of intimacy.

"How good-looking is he?" Ye Qingyu was amused. He couldn't understand why Qing Yi always mentioned "good-looking." He knew his looks were decent, but he was still a man, not the most beautiful person in the world. How good-looking could he be to be so captivated by this boy? If this were in a popular storybook, would he be described as a seductive vixen?

"Well, it's just...it's just very beautiful!" Qing Yi described it, but it was the same as if he hadn't said anything.

"..." Ye Qingyu allowed Qingyi's intimate touch and no longer dodged.

"You don't know the look in Qingfeng and Qingqing's eyes when they looked at you while you were painting just now. If I didn't know their character, I would definitely be jealous!" Qingyi sighed.

"..." Ye Qingyu was even more speechless. Why was this kid becoming more and more exaggerated?

"It's true, I'm not lying at all!" Qing Yi looked at Ye Qingyu's expression, who obviously didn't believe what he said, and couldn't help but argue.

"Oh, Qingyi, that's enough. This is the study." Ye Qingyu sighed. It turned out that Qingyi's possessiveness was not just talk.

"The study is better. Your father will definitely not send anyone here to eavesdrop, right?" Qing Yi said with a smile.

Ye Qingyu understood. It turned out that Qing Yi knew everything, but how did he know it?

"Although you can't come here, this is a study, not a place to play." Ye Qingyu would never play around with Qingyi in the study.

"Well, then you wait a little longer until I've kissed you enough." Qing Yi said with a hint of dominance.

"Don't be like this, let's go eat first, and then we'll talk in the evening..." Ye Qingyu omitted the rest of the words, but believed that Qingyi could understand.

"In the evening?" Qing Yi didn't know what he was thinking about. He paused for a moment and didn't respond readily.

"Well, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qingyu of course noticed Qing Yi's pause and couldn't help but ask.

"I... hehe, Xiaoye, I think now..." Qingyi quickly returned to his usual playful look, with the smile spreading from his face to his slender eyes.

"Then you think about it yourself. I'm going to eat!" As he said that, Ye Qingyu exerted a little force, slipped out from Qing Yi's arms, and opened the door of the study directly.

Qing Yi's eyes darkened, and he didn't say anything, but followed Ye Qingyu out of the study.

Why didn’t Qing Yi agree to Ye Qingyu readily?

He had his own considerations. Although the King of the Northwest hadn't contacted him or Xiaoye in the past two days, seemingly tacitly approving of their relationship, what did this tacit approval mean? He would never believe that the King of the Northwest would willingly let his son be with him.
