"What are you doing?" Xie Chang'an hurriedly pushed Ye Jingchen away with both hands.
Ye Jingchen leaned back, creating some distance between them.
Seeing Xie Chang'an's face even redder than before, Ye Jingchen said innocently, "I just wanted to test if you had a fever."
"Stay away from me!" Xie Chang'an put his hand on Ye Jingchen's shoulder to keep him away.
Seeing Xie Chang'an's flustered state, Ye Jingchen couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The amnesiac limited edition Xie Chang'an is just too cute. I wish he could still be this innocent and naive after regaining his memories.
However, if he had to choose, he would still hope that Xie Chang'an could regain his memory as soon as possible.
During the time Xie Chang'an was suffering from amnesia, he appeared calm on the surface, but he actually felt empty inside.
He had long been accustomed to Xie Chang'an's company. Xie Chang'an had become an integral part of his life, and he was not used to being apart from him for the past few days. He couldn't even sleep well.
He moved into Prince Qian's residence and took the initiative to bring food to the two little brats, all to lure Xie Chang'an to come and find him.
At first, he couldn't figure out Xie Chang'an's attitude, so he just observed him secretly.
However, after having physical contact with Xie Chang'an, he discovered that although Xie Chang'an had lost all his memories related to him, his body's reactions were quite honest.
Yesterday, Xie Chang'an did not bring his two children to visit, but instead secretly slipped into Prince Qian's residence alone. He noticed this, but did not expose him.
He didn't refute his siblings' words only because he wanted to take the opportunity to provoke Xie Chang'an and see if he could make him regain his memory.
It seems that it has had some effect.
When he first lost his memory, Xie Chang'an was very resistant to him, but now he doesn't even resist touching him. It shouldn't be long before Xie Chang'an accepts him again, but when he will regain his memory is still a mystery.
Only Xie Chang'an who shares those memories is Xie Chang'an who truly belongs to him.
"Xie Geng, go to the study and get me a novel I haven't read before to pass the time," Ye Jingchen said, stopping his laughter.
"If you want to read storybooks, why don't you go back to the East Palace to read them?" Xie Chang'an was a little annoyed by his laughter and immediately said.
However, he regretted it after saying it.
Xie Geng quickly brought out a brand new storybook from his study.
"Why are there storybooks in my study?" Xie Chang'an asked Xie Geng.
"That's because I enjoy reading them, so whenever a new storybook comes out, you have people buy it for you," Ye Jingchen answered for Xie Geng.
"This is actually Lord Liu's new work. The protagonist is a woman who transmigrates into a man's body, participates in the imperial examination, and surpasses all the scholars in the country. The noble ladies in the capital city will definitely like this kind of story. Lord Liu's ideas have really been opened up!" Ye Jingchen commented as he read.
"You, the Crown Prince, don't you have any political affairs to attend to?" Xie Chang'an asked, puzzled.
"My brothers and sisters will handle the political affairs for me; I don't need to. Of course, you've shared a large part of it too. So, hurry up and regain your memory; there are still many things waiting for you to deal with," Ye Jingchen said.
"Why should I help you with anything?" Xie Chang'an asked, somewhat annoyed.
"Maybe it's because of love?" Ye Jingchen answered while reading the storybook, looking rather indifferent.
"Xie Geng—" Xie Chang'an looked at Xie Geng, who was standing to the side, with an unfriendly expression.
If he wasn't mistaken, Xie Geng had an expression of anticipation on his face.
"Master, you really did it voluntarily because you didn't want His Highness the Crown Prince to be too tired." Xie Geng finished speaking and quickly left.
While being a spectator at the scene of the drama is exciting, my life is more important.
Xie Chang'an didn't know what to say.
He has truly overturned his own perception time and time again!
Ye Jingchen is extremely addicted to reading storybooks. He becomes completely absorbed in them in no time, and his facial expressions change vividly with the development of the plot.
For reasons unknown, Xie Chang'an did not leave and remained sitting next to Ye Jingchen. Ye Jingchen was reading a book, while Xie Chang'an watched Ye Jingchen.
Time passed slowly until lunchtime arrived, and a servant came to invite Xie Chang'an to lunch.
"Let's eat at Chang'an Residence. I left the palace secretly, and my arrival at Chang'an Residence didn't alert anyone else. The fewer people who know, the better," Ye Jingchen said.
Xie Chang'an didn't say anything, but ordered someone to fetch food from the kitchen and bring it to Chang'an Residence.
The two finished their meal in silence, and Ye Jingchen started reading a storybook again, but he did so while walking around the courtyard.
"What are you doing again?" Xie Chang'an asked suspiciously.
"To aid digestion after a meal," Ye Jingchen replied.
After watching for about half an hour, Ye Jingchen yawned, feeling a little sleepy.
"I'm sleepy, can I borrow your bed?" Ye Jingchen said to Xie Chang'an, who had been sitting under the peach tree, as he closed his book.
"If you're sleepy, why don't you go back to the palace to sleep?" Xie Chang'an hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"The bed in my palace isn't as comfortable as yours," Ye Jingchen said as he walked into Xie Chang'an's room.
Xie Chang'an quickly chased after him.
When he entered the room, Ye Jingchen was already taking off his coat.
"Isn't the bed in the Eastern Palace softer than mine?" Xie Chang'an asked.
"It's very soft, but there's no longer your scent on the bed," Ye Jingchen said, looking at Xie Chang'an.
Upon hearing this answer, Xie Chang'an's mind hadn't even processed it before his face turned red.
He didn't know what to say, and could only watch helplessly as Ye Jingchen took off his boots and went to sleep on his bed.
Not long after, he sensed that Ye Jingchen's breathing and heartbeat were becoming more stable.
Xie Chang'an found it incredible that Ye Jingchen could fall asleep so quickly in someone else's bed.
He tiptoed to the bedside, looked at the person sleeping on the bed, and felt a very complicated feeling in his heart.
The bed is a very private place. Although he is not a germaphobe, he probably wouldn't tolerate other people sleeping in his bed.
But Ye Jingchen was lying on his bed, and he felt no dissatisfaction, but rather a faint sense of satisfaction.
Ye Jingchen slept for the entire afternoon.
He showed no signs of waking up until sunset.
While Ye Jingchen slept that afternoon, Xie Chang'an did not leave his room.
At least half the time, he stood by the bed watching Ye Jingchen sleep, and the other half the time, he sat at the table looking in the direction of the bed.
As the light in the room grew dimmer, Xie Chang'an felt something was amiss. Who could sleep for so long in broad daylight? Shouldn't people usually just take a short nap?
"Ye Jingchen?" He stood by the bed and called to Ye Jingchen to get up, but after calling for a long time, there was no response.
Although he could hear Ye Jingchen's heartbeat and breathing, he still reached out his finger to check Ye Jingchen's breath.
"Xie Geng, go and invite Mr. Li." Seeing that Ye Jingchen couldn't be woken up, Xie Chang'an quickly gave the order.
