Chapter 211: The Crown Prince's Original Wish (The End)
Xie Huailing never imagined that one day she would face such a problem—excessive exercise.
What was that saying again? Aches and pains, dizziness and blurred vision always follow overexertion. She deliberately ignored which product advertisement it was from, sitting on the edge of the bed looking at the bright daylight outside, and unhappily discovered that she had fallen asleep too late and too early because she was so tired, thus achieving the rare feat of waking up very early in the morning.
She felt like something was missing from her body; otherwise, why would she feel uncomfortable and have problems everywhere? It was as if no part of her body belonged to her, yet she was constantly experiencing aches and pains. This wasn't the feeling of being run over; it was the feeling of having run over someone without restraint—the consequence of reaping what you sow.
But to say she regretted it now would be a bit of an exaggeration. Xie Huailing leaned her head against the edge of the bed, contemplating her life and what to do next. She didn't want to overdo it with exercise all the time.
Or rather, the reason why the aftereffect of this is over-training is indeed due to Kudo Kudo's problem.
Xie Huailing banged his head against the edge of the bed and sighed deeply.
While she was questioning her existence, a maid knocked on the door and entered after she gave permission. People from the Prince's residence were more particular about etiquette. They didn't even move their clothes when the maids came in, carrying neatly arranged toiletries. Several others were empty-handed, and their posture was even more submissive. They whispered, "We were sent by His Highness the Crown Prince to serve Miss with her bathing and grooming. You don't need to move. His Highness said you don't have much strength, so we can do it."
Xie Huailing had an inexplicable feeling. Among those in the world, including those who understood Gong Jiu's true nature, there were probably few who believed that the majority of the power last night was in someone else's hands.
She didn't care about any of that, nodded and followed the maid. Then she thought about why Gong Jiu was still so energetic; she hadn't held back either.
I really can't figure out the answer to this question. Most likely, that guy possesses some kind of martial arts technique, and now that's a perfect match, it's like a match made in heaven.
After washing up, Xie Huailing didn't go downstairs. She remained leaning against the edge of the bed, motionless, with her eyes closed, as if her soul had already left this body, and all that remained was an empty shell.
After resting with his eyes closed for an unknown amount of time, he felt a little better, but the soreness in his shoulders and surrounding area became even more intense. He and she were another kind of entangled, inseparable, and tragically fated couple. Xie Huailing tried massaging his own shoulders, and as he massaged, he touched another pair of hands.
As mentioned before, she disliked these江湖人 (jianghu people) who walked without making a sound.
"Does it hurt a lot?" Gong Jiu's voice was still calm, but it had softened considerably and become more docile. He said, "Let me do it."
In his post-coital state, he was a perfect person. After losing his minor flaws, which were quite unfortunate, Gong Jiu was almost flawless. Xie Huailing felt at ease entrusting the massage to him, and instructed him, "Be gentle, I'm very sore, so don't be too rough."
Gong Jiu simply said no, and slowly began to press the buttons.
He learns everything quickly, including massage. In any case, he would never be gentle with himself, but he tried to be gentler with Xie Huailing, slowly relieving her soreness. Even so, she would still groan when the massage touched the sore spots.
...Moderation. These were the only two words in Xie Huailing's mind; without moderation, he would die.
To better massage her shoulders, Gong Jiu sat on the bed. He was behind Xie Huailing, and he brushed her hair down to her front, revealing the back of her neck with some marks. White jade always looks beautiful with some pink marks, and he had them on his body too, which made Gong Jiu even happier, even though the color of the marks on his body had nothing to do with pink.
But as he watched, he couldn't help but have other thoughts. Xie Huailing's head drooped repeatedly, almost falling asleep again. Fortunately, Gong Jiu reminded her by stopping the massage and using his teeth instead of his hands.
"If you bite again, get out," Xie Huailing said.
"Honey?"
"Get out, my dear."
Disappointed at being scolded like a dog, Gong Jiu raised his head, but not wanting to see Xie Huailing really angry, he had no choice but to give up his idea and focus on massaging Xie Huailing.
.
Gong Jiu's education of the Palace Master was very successful, as evidenced by the fact that when Xie Huailing went down in the afternoon, the Palace Master had already learned the Bone Shrinking Technique.
She was smugly showing off to Gong Jiu, asking him to mention her in his letter to the old man and praise her highly, when she saw Xie Huailing coming down from behind Gong Jiu. Then, she instantly changed her expression. Her previously curved eyebrows straightened in an instant, devoid of any smile, replaced by a cold face, as if Xie Huailing were some kind of mortal enemy with whom she shared a blood feud.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of a deep-seated blood feud. The Palace Master will probably remember the kindness of being fed yesterday for the rest of his life.
Looking coldly at Xie Huailing, the Palace Master said, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Before Gong Jiu could speak, Xie Huailing stopped her and calmly said, "Because I'm waiting for someone to pick me up."
"Can't you just go ahead and walk? You're a grown woman." The Palace Master scoffed at this spoiled young lady's attitude, tossing her head away before realizing something. "Wait, tell me first, who's coming to pick you up?"
A delicate and slender hand rested on the palace master, and a beautiful ghost appeared.
Bai Feifei said calmly, "Me."
Then Xie Huailing saw her favorite show of the year: The Palace Master's Hasty Escape.
Xie Huailing wasn't sure if this counted as a Pavlovian dog, a form of training, or adult education. In any case, after meeting Bai Feifei and enduring several beatings from her, the Palace Master's temper improved, her actions became more meticulous, and her martial arts skills steadily progressed; she dared not slack off for a single day. Except when facing Xie Huailing, the instigator of her beatings, she gradually developed a smile for everyone and changed her devilish ways, showing particular respect to Bai Feifei.
Xie Huailing thus concluded that all arrogant people are those who have been beaten too few times; if they were busy getting beaten, they wouldn't have caused so much trouble.
She shared this truth with the palace master, who wanted to spit on her.
At that moment, the girl had already disappeared out the window in an arc. Xie Huailing looked into the distance and asked, "Is there a big lake outside?"
Bai Feifei didn't care at all: "There are trees, so you won't fall in and drown."
She raised her hand at Xie Huailing, not even wanting to look at Gong Jiu, who annoyed her just by looking at him, and called Xie Huailing over: "Go back, how long are you going to stay here?"
Xie Huailing still listened to Bai Feifei. Without saying goodbye to Gong Jiu, she ran over. She stopped beside Bai Feifei, and the parts of her body that should be sore were still sore. In fact, she didn't expect Bai Feifei not to notice, not to mention that in Bai Feifei's eyes, the parts she covered were the same as not covering at all.
As she approached, Bai Feifei keenly sensed something, but there was only one possible person here.
Bai Feifei didn't look at Gong Jiu because he was a bit scary and disgusting; she had just finished lunch. She chose to deceive herself, saying, "Tell me it's not what I mean."
Xie Huailing shook his head and said to her, "It means exactly what you think."
Bai Feifei's stomach was churning. She suppressed the urge to vomit, her beautiful face nearly turning pale, and repeated, "Tell me it's not."
Xie Huailing said, "But you wouldn't be happy if I lied to you."
"..."
Bai Feifei felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. Words could hardly describe her current state. She flung Xie Huailing away and said coldly, "I didn't come here today. Go back by yourself."
She took a few steps away, then turned back, still seething with anger. She couldn't contain herself, nor did she want to. All she wanted was to give this guy a good, cathartic answer: why did he choose the worst one? She didn't even want to call him by his real name: "Are you out of your mind? There are so many men in the world, so many who are even remotely good-looking. Why did you choose this one? What do you see in him?"
Bai Feifei didn't even want to mention Gong Jiu's quirks, and almost rolled her eyes involuntarily, leaving everything unsaid.
Xie Huailing tried to soothe Bai Feifei's fur, and said softly, "Actually, you have a lot in mind... Don't hit her in a moment, be gentle!"
Even though she was shouting like that, Bai Feifei didn't actually hit her. He just stared at her sharply, wanting to open her head and see what was inside.
Bai Feifei herself couldn't remember how many times she had mentioned Gong Jiu. Yes, it's true that, putting aside the major flaws, Gong Jiu's conditions are excellent, but is that something that can be ignored? Is that right? Is that what should be expected? Isn't this one flaw enough to overshadow everything else?
Bai Feifei would never belong to that circle. She truly couldn't understand it and asked her from the bottom of her heart, "Don't you find it disgusting?"
Xie Huailing glanced at Bai Feifei twice, then answered everything with silence.
In an instant, Bai Feifei lost all her strength and resources. She was probably the person in the world who understood Xie Huailing better than anyone else, and therefore not unaware of Xie Huailing's subtle tendencies. At this moment, she suddenly didn't want to say a word, and lowered her head to cover her forehead. This was the most helpless day of Bai Feifei's life.
When she looked up again, Bai Feifei had changed her expression, regaining her composure and becoming ashen-faced.
In the end, she still chose to spoil him, making her last stand: "Don't tell me anything about him, I don't want to hear a word of it, treat him as if he's dead in front of me."
Xie Huailing immediately agreed, "Okay."
Then Bai Feifei tried to glance at Gong Jiu, but couldn't overcome her disgust. She didn't force herself; she couldn't bear to hit Xie Huailing, and she didn't want to hit Gong Jiu at all because she felt nauseous. But she could hit someone else. And wouldn't you know it, there was someone here who was on good terms with Gong Jiu.
Bai Feifei asked, "Where did that go now?"
She's furious right now, extremely furious, incredibly furious.
