But Yu Jingchen seemed to have become addicted to it.
"Why are you feeling unwell?" Yu Jingchen asked again, activating his ultimate pull.
“Because His Majesty held it,” Nan Zhiyun said.
"Why did His Majesty pinch your nose?" Was Yu Jingchen teasing a child? Nan Zhiyun felt a little overwhelmed.
"I don't know," Nan Zhiyun replied.
"Because someone was pretending to be asleep just now," Yu Jingchen said, and Nan Zhiyun felt a little guilty.
"I just woke up," Nan Zhiyun said softly.
"So what do you want?" Yu Jingchen continued to ask, then added, "Make it clear, or I won't release you."
"Your Majesty is pinching my nose, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Could Your Majesty please let go?" Nan Zhiyun's voice was soft and sweet.
Yu Jingchen was satisfied after hearing this, and then slowly let go of his hand.
"Pretending to be asleep?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
Nan Zhiyun was covered by the blanket, with only her head showing, and her nose was pinched red, making her look like a bullied little rabbit.
"I know I was wrong," Nan Zhiyun said, lowering her eyes.
"Is admitting your mistakes enough? You've said enough about your mistakes before, but aren't you still making mistakes? This is deceiving the emperor. Tell me, why were you pretending to be asleep?" Although Yu Jingchen asked this question, there was no anger in his tone.
"This concubine is afraid of Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun said.
Yu Jingchen pinched Nan Zhiyun's face again.
"Ugh..." Nan Zhiyun couldn't help but murmur.
"You never learn!" Yu Jingchen increased his strength slightly.
"Your Majesty, it hurts..." Nan Zhiyun's tears came out.
"It'll hurt you to death," Yu Jingchen pinched her twice more before letting go. Nan Zhiyun's face was red from being pinched, but she didn't dare to say anything.
"I can't be bothered to see you, I'm leaving," Yu Jingchen said, and made to walk away. But Nan Zhiyun grabbed his hand.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun called out. Yu Jingchen didn't actually intend to leave; he was just teasing her.
"What? Can't I leave?" Yu Jingchen asked her deliberately.
Nan Zhiyun simply grabbed Yu Jingchen's arm tightly with both hands.
"Can we not leave?" Nan Zhiyun asked.
Since noticing Yu Jingchen's change, Nan Zhiyun has gradually become bolder, and... clingy, yes, clingy.
"Why can't we walk?" Yu Jingchen didn't move, letting her hold his arm.
"I'm afraid, and I want Your Majesty to stay," Nan Zhiyun said without hesitation.
"What are you afraid of? Afraid of the dark? Didn't you seem to be sleeping soundly when I wasn't here?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"I'm afraid Your Majesty won't come anymore. I'm afraid Your Majesty will think I'm useless. I'm afraid Your Majesty will be the same as before," Nan Zhiyun said.
Yu Jingchen paused slightly. Why did he suddenly think like that again? Could it be that he was provoked by what he said today?
"Then why are you pretending to be asleep?" Yu Jingchen changed the subject, not wanting Nan Zhiyun to think about these things.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty to come, and I don't know how to react," Nan Zhiyun replied.
"If I hadn't exposed you just now, how long were you planning to keep up this act?" Yu Jingchen pulled his arm out of Nan Zhiyun's hand.
Nan Zhiyun felt a little panicked. She was afraid that Yu Jingchen would still leave, but she didn't have the courage to try to stop him.
Who would have thought...
"Lie down, it's cold," Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun followed Yu Jingchen's movements and fell asleep.
Happy National Day!
