Chapter 77 Close Protection
Seeing that she stopped screaming, Xiao Yuheng took out her finger and examined it carefully.
"How is it? Does it still hurt?"
"Yeah." Shen Yue nodded aggrievedly.
So you hold it for a while longer?
Shen Yue thought so, but Zhang Dayong and Bai Yunfei did not cooperate and brought the kettle.
"Director, hurry up!"
What the hell, can't you see I'm busy? Do you have any good eyesight, huh?
She wanted to cry but had no tears. She stretched out her hand and let them flush again and again until they were sweating profusely from being tired from filling the water again and again, and then she took her hand back embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. Go eat your meat and leave me alone."
Seeing that she looked much better, Lao Zhang and A Fei dispersed and continued to grill the meat.
Xiao Yuheng helped her to a clean meadow, brought out the grilled fish, tore off a piece, and put it to her mouth.
"You're such a grown-up, but you're so clumsy at everything you do. Don't you know it hurts?"
When Shen Yue heard him say this, she immediately felt aggrieved.
"What do you know? If you hadn't said you were hungry, would I have been so anxious?"
Xiao Yuheng was stunned when he heard this, then raised the corners of his lips in surprise.
"So, you're worried that I'll be hungry, so you burned your hand? You're so concerned about me, huh?"
"I don't care!" Shen Yue was ashamed and angry.
"I care about chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, fish, big crabs, and small turtles, but I won't care about you!"
Zhang Dayong, who was not far away, said, "So our status is even lower than that of chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs, fish, crabs, and turtles, right?"
Bai Yunfei: "You're wrong. There's at least a prince behind them, and behind the prince is us."
Zhang Dayong: "Woo woo."
When Xiao Yuheng saw Shen Yue like this, he felt very happy and moved closer to her like a spoiled child.
"Apart from these little animals, you still care about me, right?"
Shen Yue raised her head, looked at him as if he were a fool, turned away and ignored him.
"Talk." Xiao Yuheng moved forward again, "It's okay if you don't talk, just eat some meat first."
Shen Yue looked at the fish meat that was brought to her mouth, thought of her empty stomach, and finally opened her mouth.
“Eh~~”
The shadow guards' booing could be heard from a distance, and the two of them were immediately frightened and moved apart, both blushing.
"You guys are going to die!"
Shen Yue pretended to be calm, sat down among the crowd, picked up the wine jug and took a sip.
"How about a drinking game? I'm going to get you drunk today!"
"Okay!"
The shadow guards cheered in unison for a while, but fell silent when Xiao Yuheng took his seat.
Xiao Yuheng looked at them awkwardly, "You don't welcome me?"
Shen Yue covered her mouth and laughed: Obviously, have you seen any company like to have the boss present at a dinner party?
Zhang Dayong said sincerely, "Your Majesty, how could we not welcome you? The moment you joined us, our subordinates instantly became more energetic. Even the rabbit on the grill perked up!"
The shadow guards echoed, "Yeah, even the wine smells better!"
Xiao Yuheng: That’s not necessary.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Shen Yue smiled and began to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"
"good!"
Bai Yunfei was the first to say, "We didn't bring dice or drums today, so we can't play pass the flower, so we'll have to play finger-guessing or idiom chain."
"Don't take any dragon!" Zhang Dayong stopped him.
"Look at us brothers, we're all either ugly or cracked. How many of us have ever been to school? Let's play finger-guessing!"
"Okay, I agree!" Shen Yue raised both hands in agreement.
Then, a group of people gathered together and started playing finger-guessing games: "Hello, brothers! Four seasons of wealth! Five champions! Six six six..."
Xiao Yuheng was obviously an amateur. He made several mistakes after just a few rounds and was fined half a pot of wine.
Seeing that he was a bit dishy, Shen Yue quickly pulled him aside.
"Your Highness, please don't get involved. You haven't eaten the meat yet, but you've already drunk a lot of wine. You'll feel very uncomfortable soon."
"But, I want to play with you."
Because of drinking, Xiao Yuheng's cheeks were a little red and he spoke in a very obedient manner.
Shen Yue looked at him and couldn't help but be distracted.
"Then let's eat and play at the same time, okay?"
"Um."
Xiao Yuheng nodded, followed her back to her seat, took the rabbit leg she handed over and took a bite, "What are you playing?"
"Let's play brain teasers, or language games. I'll ask the questions, and you answer them. Whoever can't answer them has to drink!"
Shen Yue cleared her throat, suppressed her laughter, and said, "There's a monkey riding on a tree, and a monkey on the ground. How many monkeys are there in total?"
The prince said that he knew the answer to this question, but just as he was about to answer, his mouth was stuffed with rabbit legs.
The shadow guards immediately began to answer, "Eight!"
"Yes, eight! I answered first, you're not the one to jump in!"
Shen Yue couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Very good, all the answers are wrong. Your Highness, what do you think?"
As she spoke, she secretly reached out to touch his lower back and tapped it twice.
A strange shudder ran all the way up my spine, to my brain, and finally, suddenly exploded.
Xiao Yuheng couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, his breathing quickening, "Two?"
The shadow guards were all bewildered, only Shen Yue clapped and cheered.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, for answering correctly! The rest of you, drink!"
"Huh? What the…"
The shadow guards reluctantly picked up the wine jug and took a big sip.
"Next question, what kind of cloth can't be cut?"
"The next one..."
In this way, Shen Yue drank a large amount effortlessly.
By the time the drinking game was over, most of the shadow guards had already fallen asleep with their legs spread out on the grass.
As the night grew deeper, she returned to the carriage to fetch a mat, found a piece of clean grass to spread it out, and waved for Xiao Yuheng to come over.
"Your Highness, you can sleep here tonight. The powder has been sprinkled, and those snakes, insects, rats and ants won't come to disturb you. I'll also leave my cloak with you, so don't worry about catching a cold..."
Xiao Yuheng felt a little awkward when he heard this.
"What about you?"
Didn’t we agree to sleep together?
"The shadow guards are asleep, so I have to keep watch for you."
Shen Yue raised her eyes and smiled, untied her cloak and was about to leave, but Xiao Yuheng grabbed her hand.
"You must protect this king personally."
Shen Yue's face suddenly heated up when she heard this, "How, how close?"
Xiao Yuheng said nothing. He pushed her down onto the mat and laid down beside her. "It's good to be this close."
“…Okay, okay.”
Shen Yue lay quietly beside him, feeling her heart pounding violently. She closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.
But after more than half an hour, she still didn't feel sleepy at all.
Xiao Yuheng should be asleep by now, right? If he is asleep, she can peek at the handsome man up close.
Thinking of this, she secretly turned sideways, opened her eyes slightly, and looked in the direction of Xiao Yuheng.
But to her surprise, the man's eyes were as big as bells, staring at her intently.
"Damn, I was scared to death!"
Shen Yue was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest. Xiao Yuheng patted her and comforted her for a long time before she recovered.
"Your Highness, why aren't you sleeping yet?" It's scary in the middle of the night!
"The moonlight is too bright and I can't sleep." Xiao Yuheng made up an excuse.
"Did you bring the eyepatch from last time? Why not lend it to me?"
