Yan Xi turned back stiffly, "Your Highness, I am not clean and I am afraid that I will dirty your bathtub."
As if he had expected him to say that, Li Yancheng raised his arms and placed them on the shore, looking at him calmly, "Oh? Then take off all your clothes before you come down, so that you won't dirty my bath."
"..." Damn, take off all your clothes?! Why don't you go to heaven?!
Very good, a dog will never change its bad nature, it is still as rude as ever.
Yan Xi steadied himself, hesitating, clutching the corner of his clothes in shame, "Your Majesty, it's not that my clothes are dirty, but... it's that I'm sick."
Hearing this, Li Yancheng was slightly surprised, and felt a little amused in his heart. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, "What disease?"
Yan Xi pretended to be embarrassed and blushed, "It's athlete's foot, it's quite serious, both feet are rotten, and there are serious pus."
Li Yancheng's mouth twitched slightly, "Then you will stand on the shore and rub my back."
"Yes." Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, walked over reluctantly, squatted down, and wiped it gently.
Fortunately, Li Yancheng was honest enough and just asked him to rub his back.
"My Lord, it has been cleaned."
"Yeah, that's fine."
When Yan Xi heard this, he was delighted, as he could finally leave.
But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
Li Yancheng turned around, facing him, opened his hands, and moved his thin lips slightly, "Continue."
“…” Yan Xi widened his eyes.
He squatted on the shore, and Li Yancheng stood in the pool, just at eye level.
Reading the shock in his eyes, Li Yancheng smiled.
Yan Xi's hand trembled slightly as he wiped his chest.
The handkerchief brushed across my chest, and it felt a little itchy.
Li Yancheng's eyes were full of understanding, and he suddenly felt a little regretful for letting him wipe his chest. He unconsciously took a step back, but Yan Xi's hands were empty, and he lost his balance and fell down with a thud.
Li Yancheng was quick to catch him.
Water splashed everywhere, and Yan Xi subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was holding someone like an octopus. He suddenly panicked, his face flushed red, and he quickly let go of his hand. While Li Yancheng was stunned, he climbed ashore.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it."
Li Yancheng felt a sense of loss as his arms felt empty. "Yes, I know."
"My clothes are wet, which is impolite. I will take my leave first." Yan Xi wiped the water off his face and prepared to slip away.
"Wait." Li Yancheng called him.
Yan Xi was going crazy. What was he waiting for? His whole body was wet and he had to change his clothes before he could go back!
"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" He looked at him with a smile.
Yeah, what else...
Li Yancheng wanted to keep him but couldn't find an excuse. Glancing at his wet shoes, he curled his lips slightly and said, "You have athlete's foot. I'm afraid you might get it. You... have to stay. You can only leave after I ask the doctor if this condition is contagious."
Yan Xi: "..." If this doesn't count as shooting oneself in the foot.
His mind raced, he gritted his teeth, and plopped down on his knees. "Your Highness, I don't actually have athlete's foot. I... suffer from hemorrhoids. It's difficult to bring myself to speak, so I dare not tell you the truth. Please forgive me, Your Highness, but I guarantee with my life that I will not infect you."
"Hemorrhoids?" Li Yancheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
In order to get out of this situation, I really risked everything.
"Yes." Yan Xi said awkwardly.
"Oh? How can you prove that it's not athlete's foot but hemorrhoids? What will happen if you deceive me?"
"I...slave..." Damn it, how can I prove this? Do I have to take off my pants for you to see? Get lost!
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Li Yancheng smiled triumphantly, "Then stay here and stay with me for a few days. I'll make a decision after I'm sure you don't have athlete's foot."
Yan Xi moved his lips, but couldn't say anything.
He felt like he did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
Li Yancheng was afraid of pushing the other person too far, so he came up on his own and put on clean clothes behind the screen.
After he put on his clothes, he ordered someone to bring him a new set of servant's clothes.
Yan Xi put it on reluctantly.
If I tell him to stay by my side, then he should stay by my side.
Yan Xi was instantly promoted to the prince's personal servant, following behind him to serve him.
Li Yancheng didn't go to bed after taking a shower, so he went to the study to read.
He seemed to be in high spirits and didn't feel sleepy even after watching for a long time.
It actually made Yan Xi sleepy.
He stood by, leaning against the bookshelf, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was a sound of night watchman's beating outside. Yan Xi woke up suddenly and stood up to listen.
Oh my god, it’s already five o’clock in the morning.
It's already three o'clock in the morning.
This is a complete all-nighter!
He glanced at Li Yancheng who was still reading, yawned sleepily, and couldn't help but remind him: "Your Highness, it's getting late. Take care of yourself. It's time to rest."
Li Yancheng glanced back, caught a glimpse of his sleepy appearance, nodded, closed the book, and said, "You can go down."
When Yan Xi heard this, he felt as if he had been pardoned and walked away.
"Remember to come over tonight."
Yan Xi staggered, responded perfunctorily, quickened his pace, and left as if escaping.
No more, no more. If he goes on like this, he is afraid of sudden death. He has done nothing but is exhausted like a dog.
Li Yancheng looked at his hurried back, rubbed his eyes, left the study, returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.
