Chapter 16
Luo Tingshi's eyes moved up and down as the hand patted his cheek. To others, this action might have been a bit humiliating.
But the young man's force was not strong, and it landed lightly on the side of his face, as if he was caressing him.
Luo Tingshi said absentmindedly, "I leave it to your majesty to decide."
Yu Zhi withdrew his hand, supported his waist and slowly straightened up. When his eyes passed Luo Ting who was kneeling on the ground, he looked at the bright moon under the eaves and thought to himself.
How should Luo Tingshi be punished?
Yu Zhi rarely punished others. Court officials and palace maids who made mistakes were dealt with according to the law, and he never interfered.
Yu Zhi bent his knuckles and tapped his chin, feeling a little distressed.
However, he did not notice that in the dim night, the dark eyes of the person in front of him were circling around the slender fingers at his chin, and his eyes looked quite regretful.
As Yu Zhi thought about it, he yawned involuntarily, and tears of sleepiness welled up in the corners of his eyes. He raised the back of his hand and rubbed his eyes, his tone full of fatigue: "We'll talk about the punishment tomorrow. I'm sleepy."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tingshi immediately said, "I will help Your Majesty to bed and rest."
Yu Zhi glanced at him, stretched out his hand, and tacitly agreed.
Luo Tingshi immediately stood up and supported Yu Zhi's forearm, then raised his other hand to hold Yu Zhi's waist. Yu Zhi didn't bother to talk to him anymore. After pregnancy, sleepiness always came without warning, and now he just wanted to sleep.
The two of them walked around the table, chairs and screen and came to the bed.
Luo Tingshi lit the lamp, helped Yu Zhi take off his clothes, helped him lie down on the bed, and picked up the thin quilt beside him to cover Yu Zhi carefully.
The light shone obliquely from behind, stretching Luo Tingshi's shadow into a long dark river. Half of the person on the bed fell into the river and was swallowed by the bottomless black heavy water.
Luo Tingshi stood by the bed, gazing at the peaceful sleeping face of the person in front of him. After a moment, he turned and left.
"What are you going to do?"
An indistinct question came from behind, with a hint of sleepiness, and the tail end of the question drifted off lightly, as if one could fall asleep at any time and anywhere.
Luo Tingshi turned around and said, "I'll go rest on the couch over there."
"Who allowed you to sleep on the couch? Hurry up and get on the bed and sleep with me." The person on the bed raised his eyes with difficulty, and his cat-like eyes opened a slit. The words were quite powerful, but the soft tiredness rolled down along with his voice. Every word he uttered was sticky and lingered in Luo Tingshi's ears.
It doesn't sound like a scolding, but more like she's acting coquettishly.
Luo Tingshi's feet took root and he couldn't help but want to listen to a few more words.
The person on the bed saw that he hadn't moved for a long time and opened her mouth to curse angrily: "You bastard! I told you to get on the bed, why are you standing there?"
The little beauty acted coquettishly and begged him to go to bed.
Luo Tingshi thought to himself, a smile in his eyes. He obediently stepped onto the bed and got under the quilt, coaxing the beauty in a low voice: "Go to sleep."
Yu Zhi: "Hold me and sleep."
Luo Tingshi was slightly stunned, but his hands were faster than his brain, and he took the lead to put his arms around Yu Zhi's waist and hold him in his arms.
The soft jade in his arms smelled fragrant. Luo Tingshi's eyes were deep. He held the pregnant belly of the person in his arms with both hands. He lowered his head and gently rubbed his ink-like hair with the tip of his nose, secretly placing a few kisses on his hair.
"Touch me, kiss me."
The person in his arms murmured inaudibly, as if he was talking in his sleep.
Luo Tingshi didn't dare to take it seriously, but this request really made him itchy. When he was hesitant, the person in his arms turned his head and raised his face.
Luo Tingshi immediately understood what he meant and lowered his head to kiss those lips.
He roughly understood.
Yu Zhi suddenly changed his attitude and was willing to let him sleep in the same bed, kiss and caress him. It was definitely not because Yu Zhi had a good impression of him. It was most likely related to the child.
Luo Tingshi gently stroked the belly of the person in his arms, with a smile in his eyes.
My child is really sensible.
"Before you were even born, you knew how to bring your parents together. When you are born, your father will definitely reward you handsomely."
With his comfort, Yu Zhi gradually fell asleep.
But the breathing was not as smooth and long as that of ordinary people when they were asleep, but rather a little rapid.
Luo Tingshi was reluctant to let him go. He hooked his tongue around Yu Zhi's and entwined it several times before slowly withdrawing. The man's lips were rubbed red and glistening with moisture, which was particularly alluring under the warm yellow candlelight. Luo Tingshi couldn't help but hold his lower lip again and rub it gently.
After Yu Zhi fell asleep, Luo Tingshi picked up Yu Zhi and gently turned him over, and the two of them slept facing each other.
A waterfall of black hair fell on Yu Zhi's neck, half of his face buried in it, only his tall nose was visible. Luo Tingshi leaned forward, lightly touched his thin lips, kissed from the bridge of his nose all the way down, and gently bit the tip of Yu Zhi's nose.
Yu Zhi suddenly grumbled, "Damn Luo Tingshi, bastard!"
Luo Tingshi quickly left Yu Zhi's nose and apologized: "Your Majesty..."
After uttering only one word, Luo Tingshi stopped talking.
Luo Tingshi reached out and brushed away the dark hair on the side of Yu Zhi's face, tucking it behind his ear. His deep gaze lingered between Yu Zhi's tightly closed eyes, and a hint of laughter tinged his cold voice: "Is it always me in your dreams?"
The big palm behind the neck slowly slid towards the side of Yu Zhi's face. Luo Tingshi's thumb rested on the soft flesh beside the ear and gently stroked it. In a moment, patches of crimson seeped out from the porcelain-white skin.
Luo Tingshi stared quietly at the face in front of him.
There is no doubt that Yu Zhi is a beauty.
This face has been beautiful since childhood.
Luo Tingshi could still find some of Yu Zhi's childhood appearance in his eyes and eyebrows. The long-forgotten memories came to his mind and Luo Tingshi chuckled.
When they first met, he didn't like Yu Zhi very much.
After he caught Yu Zhi who fell from the rockery, the Emperor of Yu asked him to take Yu Zhi out to play. The child chattered and said that he wanted to take him to the nearby rockery forest to play hide-and-seek.
It was a forest made up of strange rocks, with a cave in the middle of the forest.
Yu Zhi hid in the cave.
In the haystack outside the cave, Luo Tingshi accidentally found a lost Taowu mask, which had long and sharp fangs and looked ferocious.
Luo Tingshi came up with an idea. He picked up the mask and put it on, wanting to scare the child.
No reason, just pure malice.
The thought of the child screaming in fear filled him with joy.
The cave wasn't completely dark; from time to time, sunlight filtered through cracks in the rock, casting streaks of light across the rock walls. Luo Tingshi walked along the mossy grass, following the beams of light.
Not long after, he found Yu Zhi's trace. The child was hiding between two stone walls and it was difficult to find him without careful observation.
Luo Tingshi slowed his pace and stepped lightly to the edge of the stone wall. In the silence, he suddenly peeked out, his dark eyes piercing through the mask into the figure in the stone wall. He lowered his voice and said, "I found you."
“Ah! Wuuuuuuuu… Help! Brother…”
As expected, the child was frightened and started crying, curling up into a ball and screaming.
Luo Tingshi was very satisfied.
He leisurely left the cave, walked far away and buried the mask in the soil. Just as he turned back to the cave, a crying and screaming lump of flesh slammed into his arms.
"elder brother……"
The child was crying breathlessly, but Luo Tingshi did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. He just perfunctorily touched the child's head and pretended to be anxious.
"What happened to your Highness? Don't cry, don't cry, tell your brother."
"Brother..." The child looked up and cried.
Luo Tingshi's heart suddenly trembled.
The pretty little face was red from crying, and the cat-like round eyes were filled with tears, which fell down. The pupils, which were washed bright by the tears, were filled with grievances.
Luo Tingshi felt panicked for the first time in his life.
He regretted it.
Years later, that guilt still lingered in his heart.
That night, outside Wangyan Pavilion, a beautiful woman jumped into his arms. Luo Tingshi originally wanted to pull her down and throw her away.
It was not until the beauty raised her face that Luo Tingshi saw a pair of tearful eyes hidden deep in his memory.
At this moment, his reason was instantly swallowed up by desire.
Luo Tingshi picked up the beauty and walked into the dark night.
-
When Yu Zhi woke up, a magnified handsome face appeared in his eyes. He was caught off guard and was startled.
A burst of heat came from between his lips. Yu Zhi opened his mouth subconsciously, and his lips unexpectedly brushed against something warm and soft. Yu Zhi reacted, widened his eyes, and retreated at lightning speed.
After separating his lips from Luo Tingshi, Yu Zhi rolled to the inside of the wooden bed, reached out his fingers from his sleeves, and gently pressed his slightly swollen mouth.
Is Luo Tingshi a beast?!
I kissed him all night long.
Yu Zhi was so angry that he kicked Luo Tingshi.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Luo Tingshi opened his eyes and stood up suddenly, raising his hand to hold down the thing that attacked him. Suddenly, a snow-white, slender foot appeared in his sight.
He quickly stopped his attack and let the foot kick him off the bed.
“Bang—”
Luo Tingshi's knees hit the edge of the bed, sending stabbing pains through him. He ignored them. He turned over and sat on the edge of the bed, saying to Yu Zhi earnestly, "Don't kick me anymore. You're getting heavier, and it's hard to lift your legs. What if something happens?"
Yu Zhi glared at Luo Tingshi angrily, "I didn't punish you last night, and now you've made another mistake. I'll punish you for both crimes!"
Luo Tingshi was confused: "What mistake have I made?"
Yu Zhi angrily scolded: "I asked you to kiss me, not to kiss you all night long!"
Almost at the moment he opened his mouth, there was a knock on the door, and Lu Jing's voice penetrated the door: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask——"
After a long pause, he finally uttered the last two words, "...I want to report it."
