Shi Xing walked into the room anxiously, but saw no one on Chi Yao's bed.

His heart was empty, but at the same time, he was inexplicably relieved.

It's a good thing that Your Highness doesn't have to go through the disorder period, and there will no longer be times when he has to lie in bed and doesn't want to move.

After closing the door, it was a little difficult to move.

Just when he didn't know whether to move or not, and where to go, Chi Yao walked out of the bathroom, shirtless, with water dripping from his hair. Shi Xing's eyes touched Chi Yao's body, as if burned by something, and he subconsciously looked to the side.

"Your Highness."

Shi Xing called softly, completely different from the domineering voice outside, it was a well-behaved and gentle voice, with only a little uneasiness hidden.

Chi Yao nodded, and although he felt it was unnecessary, he still explained, "I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

When giving instructions to Xu Jin, for reasons he knew very well, Chi Yao thought that Shi Xing would linger outside for a while before coming back to face him. Unexpectedly...

Shi Xing was reserved, his voice was tense, "You said you wanted to see me, so of course I would come right away."

"So obedient?"

Chi Yao asked nervously, "You're not lying, are you?"

Shi Xing was too embarrassed, and despite the embarrassment, he still shook his head and said more awkwardly, "No."

"I, I haven't lied to you..."

Although he wanted to divert Chi Yao's attention last time, what he said was true.

Chi Yao put on his coat, wiped his hair, and looked at Shi Xingxu standing at attention for a moment. He was afraid that he would upset the little boy, so he didn't continue the topic.

Instead, he asked, "Are you tired these two days?"

Shi Xing lowered his head, "Are you okay?"

"Really?"

Shi Xing was silent for a moment, and slowly told the truth, "There is a little bit of decoration."

Chi Yao laughed.

"Have you washed up?"

Shi Xing shook his head. Chi Yao: "Then go ahead, and we'll talk after you're done."

"Oh."

While feeling fortunate, Shi Xing couldn't help but wonder if this was the so-called "death penalty", with a big knife hanging over his head all the time, and he didn't know when it would fall.

Before entering the bathroom, he wanted to say something, but when he turned around, he saw Chi Yao letting a robot blow dry his hair while his pajamas were soaked with water and he was taking them off. Shi Xing's face flushed with heat, and he rushed into the bathroom.

Amid the swirling steam, Shi Xing could not forget the scar on Chi Yao's back that he had just glanced at. It looked like a very deep scar.

Although the Imperials have many military officers, scars on their bodies are not common. Firstly, due to advanced technology, scar removal technology is included in medical treatment when they are sent to the hospital. As long as you don't want to have scars on your body, you can't leave them. Secondly, everyone in this galaxy has mental power to protect their bodies. Even if they don't use their mental power, when their bodies are hurt, their mental power will subconsciously resist, unless they encounter a very...

Thinking stagnated, Shi Xing thought of the crack in Chi Yao's spiritual sea.

Could it be that it was left behind at that time?

There is no answer, but Shi Xing feels that his guess is 100% correct.

If the attack is attached with mental power, it will be difficult to handle in the hospital. The simplest and dumbest way is to sew it up and let it recover naturally. This treatment will leave scars. His Highness

doesn't look like he will go to the hospital specifically for a little scar in the later stage.

Shi Xing immersed himself in the bathtub. The moment the hot water wrapped around him, his mind was empty and he felt relieved.

When Shi Xing changed his clothes and came out of the bathroom, Chi Yao had already blown his hair dry, tidied himself up, and lay on the bed with his eyes closed to rest. Shi Xing

paused.

Chi Yao said again in a slightly lower voice, "Come here."

It was not the slightly tough tone he used when he stood at the door, but a more gentle tone.

It seemed like a statement, but it was also a bit coaxing.

Shi Xing's heartbeat quickened again. He didn't know how he walked, but he walked to Chi Yao's bed step by step.

He stopped.

Chi Yao was lying on his back with his hands flat on both sides of his body, a very proper sleeping posture.

Perhaps it was because the royal family had to pay attention to etiquette in every move, Shi Xing actually thought that Chi Yao's lying posture was also pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness." Shi Xing called again.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Knowing that he couldn't fool Chi Yao, Shi Xing bit the bullet and said the truth, "Afraid."

The two words were said very quietly, like a mutter.

"Afraid?" Chi Yao smiled.

Shi Xing hummed.

I thought Chi Yao would say something about this, but I heard him say in a deep voice, "It's right to be afraid."

Shi Xing: "..."

Chi Yao didn't open his eyes, but patted the place beside him and gestured, "Come up."

Shi Xing: "Huh?"

Chi Yao: "Lie here, let's talk for a while."

After a pause, he didn't disappoint Shi Xing's anxiety and said as he wished, "By the way, let's settle the new and old accounts together."

Shi Xing: "…………"

Shi Xing struggled: "Can I apply for a deferral?"

Chi Yao: "If you want me to use my mental power to lift you up, just like I did to the Tianyuan star people today, I don't mind."

Shi Xing was completely silent.

Knowing that there was no choice, he closed his eyes, broke the jar, and lay down next to Chi Yao.

As soon as he lay down, he yawned.

Chi Yao saw through it, "You still say you're not tired?"

Shi Xing touched his nose and whispered, "Actually, the rest time is enough."

Chi Yao agreed, "Well, the rest time is the same as usual, and the workload has tripled and quadrupled, is that what you mean?"

Shi Xing was silent again.

If you stick your head out, you will get a knife. Shi Xing broke the jar and asked about the most important things at hand, "Your Highness, Wei Wenshu, Chairman Ren, and Speaker Wei are all very anxious about today's diplomatic situation. What do you think?"

Chi Yao actually wanted to talk about this topic, and Shi Xing took the initiative to bring it up, so he went on.

"What I said is what I thought."

Chi Yao: "The border has been established for hundreds of years, and no one owes anyone anything. Both sides have their own advantages in the galaxy. There is no need for the Empire to give in to the Alliance. Instead, the forces within the Alliance are used to not knowing how to advance or retreat, and everyone wants to control the Empire."

After a moment of silence, Chi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "Although now is not the time to praise you, I think you have performed very well in the past two days and made the decision I have been hesitating about."

"While being responsible, you have not brought shame to the Imperial Family."

Shi Xing showed a silent smile on his face.

He was praised, and was happy.

But he was happy for only two seconds when a hand reached out and pinched his face, catching Shi Xing off guard. Chi Yao used force with his fingers and jokingly said to him, "What a good thing."

Being pinched, Shi Xing spoke unclearly, "But I'm happy."

"I felt you smiling."

Shi Xing: "..."

Shi Xing pointed out, "Actually, Your Highness, you must have sensed it with your mental power."

Chi Yao pretended to be surprised, "Oh, you discovered it."

Shi Xing seriously: "...Your Highness, your tone can be a little more exaggerated."

Chi Yao withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and became serious again, saying in a light voice, "No, I don't have the energy."

His voice weakened, and if you listened carefully, you could hear it with a breath.

Chi Yao was still feeling uncomfortable, Shi Xing felt a pang in his heart, and said subconsciously, "I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Chi Yao refused to respond, "Keep the apology to yourself, it won't be too late to tell you later."

Shi Xing: "..."

Sighing, Shi Xing thought, okay.

It seems that I can't get through this.

Accept my fate.

Once people accept reality, they will start to act inertially. Shi Xing was originally nervous and uneasy, but after accepting his fate, he suddenly felt calm. He

calmly reached out and rubbed his eyes, and yawned again.

"Are you sleepy?"

"A little bit." Shi Xing promised, "But I won't fall asleep, Your Highness."

After saying that, Chi Yao stretched out his hand again. Neither of them could see each other. The fingertips just lightly touched Shi Xing's cheek, and the atmosphere became sticky for some reason.

Shi Xing found that he was still somewhat attached to this gentle touch. He didn't know where the courage came from. When he realized what he had said, the words had already come out.

"Your Highness, I didn't lie to you that day."

After receiving Chi Yao's two words, which could not be distinguished from his joy or anger, "Then?"

Shi Xing felt depressed.

He suddenly turned over, as he often did in the past few days, and hugged Chi Yao with his hands, shamelessly pulling him, burying his face in Chi Yao's chest, and shamelessly took the initiative to say, "Then I really like you."

Emphasized, "Really."

With a sincere heart, frank and honest.

Chi Yao put his hand on Shi Xing's shoulder, but it was hard for him to push away such a warm Shi Xing.

He couldn't bear to push him away. He

couldn't bear to push people away, and he couldn't bear to push away this hot and straightforward feeling.

After a pause, he finally hugged Shi Xing back, and his flat voice finally had some imperceptible ups and downs, "I heard it."

The three words were unnaturally lowered in tone, as if he was afraid that his voice would be too high and scare something.

Chi Yao imagined that he should ask a few more questions to find out what kind of love it was.

But at this moment, he felt that this was a very clear thing, and he asked even though he knew the answer.

It was no longer necessary.

But let's put it one thing at a time, Chi Yao was not that easy to fool.

After hugging each other for a while, Chi Yao said, "It's true that you like me, and it's also true that you want to distract me, right?" Shi Xing:

"..."

Chi Yao: "I asked you not to let Qiye continue to input mental power, but you never thought about obeying me, right?"

Shi Xing: "…………"

Chi Yao: "Speak."

Shi Xing muffled his voice, "Yes."

Shi Xing weakened his momentum and said, "Punish me, I admit it all."

This made Chi Yao laugh, "Admit it all?"

Chi Yao raised his hand, and his hand slid down Shi Xing's cheek to his neck, stroking lightly. The force was not strong, but the slight itching it caused could penetrate straight into the bones.

Shi Xing couldn't help but shudder.

Chi Yao suddenly said, "You know, we signed a marriage agreement, right?"

Shi Xing: "Yes."

"Then you also know that partners need to fulfill their marriage obligations?"

Shi Xing was confused.

The long finger slipped into his collar, and Chi Yao asked again.

Shi Xing felt that his whole body was heated up by the questions. After a long while, he whispered very quietly, "I know." Then he

reminded with great difficulty, "But Your Highness, I haven't passed the maturity period yet..."

The skin of the Blue Star people in the maturity period can absorb mental energy, and it is also related to emotions. Before maturity, Shuchao does not recommend too deep intimate behavior... In

the past, there have been one or two accidents, and finally they were sent to the hospital, which was... very embarrassing.

Shi Xing didn't want to find a doctor for Chi Yao in the middle of the night to solve the problem of his mental power being suddenly drained... It

was too, too embarrassing.

Wouldn't everyone know about it? If they knew...

Chi Yao only replied Shi Xing with three words, "I know."

"You think too far ahead. This matter is not over today. We still have to deal with the alliance tomorrow."

A very light laugh rang out, "And I'm still in a period of confusion... Did you overestimate me?"

Shi Xing felt his face flushed.

"I, didn't mean that."

He just wanted to remind him, and didn't mean that Chi Yao would do it, to that extent!

Chi Yao

said in a leisurely voice, "What do you mean?" Your Highness did it on purpose!

Responding to Chi Yao's knowing question, Shi Xing could not escape the question again. The itching flowed to his collarbone. Shi Xing dodged again and said with shame, "It's not about what you want to do, it's about what I want to do."

"What should I do?" The long finger went down again.

Shi Xing collapsed, "Your Highness!"

In return, Chi Yao laughed lightly, and his cheeks were hot.

The itching made Shi Xing subconsciously dodge for the third time, and the movement was a little bigger. Chi Yao finally felt it and asked him, "No?"

Shi Xing was asked to the point that his sanity was on the verge of collapse.

This time, he didn't want to say a word to Chi Yao. In order to show the answer to this question, he did a move that Chi Yao didn't expect.

Shi Xing unbuttoned the buttons of his pajamas one by one. Chi Yao was stunned for a moment, but in a short moment, Shi Xing quickly unbuttoned them all. After unbuttoning, he buried his face in Chi Yao's chest, held his hand and pressed it against his skin again.

Shi Xing abandoned his rationality, "Okay."

"All is fine."

Now Chi Yao was silent.

After a while, Chi Yao let out a long breath, his voice became a little hoarse, and his teasing tone, which had always been easy, also carried a bit of anger, "If you want to do this, I have to take back what I said about 'overestimating me'."

Shi Xing closed his eyes: "As long as you are happy."

Chi Yao's breath was choked, "Do you know what you are saying?"

Shi Xing asked back almost naively, "Don't you want to punish me like this?"

Yes, you do.

But Shi Xing was too cooperative, that was another matter.

In the silence, something was rapidly brewing, fermenting, and boiling.

"Xingxing..."

Chi Yao let out a rough breath, "You are right."

The next moment, Shi Xing was pushed to sit up. As soon as he sat firmly in the dim light, a scorching kiss came over him. Shi Xing cooperated and parted his lips.

The light seemed to be distorted in front of his eyes.

Everything was shrouded in scorching breath.

It was a kiss started by Chi Yao, but Shi Xing took the initiative afterwards, pulling Chi Yao's collar and chasing him more deeply.

His breath was disordered.

His mind was broken.

But Shi Xing didn't hate it.

The corner of his mouth was bitten, his neck was bitten, and his chest was not spared.

When Shi Xing's energy became disordered and he began to absorb a large amount of spiritual power due to the excitement of his emotions, the two had to stop, and the intimacy ended with a hug.

Chi Yao touched Shi Xing's pajamas from the bed, wrapped him up and hugged him, isolating the skin contact and preventing the mature blue star people from absorbing spiritual power unconsciously and madly.

After a moment of silence, Chi Yao suddenly said, "Don't breathe." Shi

Xing was ashamed and buried her face in Chi Yao's shoulder to cover her breathing.

Chi Yao whispered: "You sleep here tonight."

Shi Xing nodded.

Chi Yao touched Shi Xing's cheek and suddenly said, "Say again what you said to deceive my attention that day."

Shi Xing's mind was already a mess.

Chi Yao asked this abruptly, and Shi Xing was confused. It took him more than ten seconds to recall.

What did he say at that time?

- "Your Highness, do you like me a little?"

- "Your Highness, actually you know, I like you a little."

- "Maybe more than a little."

- "I didn't dare to think about it carefully."

Oh. These.

I thought Chi Yao wanted to hear him confess again.

Shi Xing had already made up his mind and didn't feel embarrassed. Chi Yao said he wanted to hear it, so he followed his memory and repeated, "Your Highness, do you like me a little?"

This time, Chi Yao replied without waiting for him to say the second sentence. Just

one word.

Chi Yao: "Yeah."

Shi Xing's heart suddenly shrank.

A kiss fell on the corner of his eyes, Chi Yao: "But more than a little."
