"So...what do I look like to you?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

She chuckled. "You must have some problems. I heard that something happened to you and you were traumatized. If you want me to tell you in detail, you have to tell me what you have been through first."

Chu Xuanche shook his head, "I don't know."

Um?

Ruan Xinchen: "You don't know?"

"Well, I lost my memory for more than half a year. They wouldn't tell me when I asked them, and I don't know what happened."

"Ah? They mean Mother and the others?"

Chu Xuanche nodded.

If that's the case, then there are some things he's been through that I definitely can't tell him about, because telling him about them would irritate him.

By the way, Chu Li also said it was a royal secret.

This shows that the matter is very far-reaching.

Ruan Xinchen frowned and said, "Then I can't help you."

"Yeah." Chu Xuanche didn't care much.

Ruan Xinchen added: "If that's the case, maybe it's better for you not to remember. Amnesia can be related to strong mental stimulation. That incident was a big shock to you, and your brain forgetting it is a protection for you."

Chu Xuanche nodded, "Maybe."

Ruan Xinchen smiled and said, "Then you should relax and let the past go. You don't remember it anyway. Look forward in the future and try to think about good things. When you can accept the past calmly, maybe you will remember it."

Chu Xuanche didn't care much, nodded casually, and said, "I'll be out for a while, and I'll be back before dark."

It was rare that he actually told her that he was going out. Ruan Xinchen was still a little uncomfortable with it.

She asked, "Should I leave some food for you?"

"No more."

"All right."

Chu Xuanche grabbed the cloak from the shelf, put it on and went out. Ruan Xinchen sat down and finished reading the ancient book.

The reason why she could understand these was thanks to Chu Li, her father's father.

He collected many lost ancient books.

After learning that Ruan Xinchen was interested in these, he collected more and invited an old scholar who specialized in these to teach her.

After all, she was a princess, so it was easy for her to get things that ordinary people couldn't touch.

Caiyu came back and didn't see Chu Xuanling anywhere, so she asked in a low voice, "Is Master Chu gone?"

"Well, the prince is back too."

Caiyu was relieved and wanted the prince to come back, otherwise she was really worried that the prince would embarrass her sister.

There was something wrong with the look in Mr. 괗's eyes earlier.

"Sister Xiao, what are you looking at? These words are so strange."

Ruan Xinchen simply taught Caiyu how to read and do simple arithmetic.

But she didn't recognize this kind of ancient characters.

Ruan Xinchen said: "They are some ancient books, belonging to the prince."

She had almost finished reading it, so she handed it to Caiyu and asked her to put it on the bookshelf.

Chu Xuanche just came back and left again. No one knew where he went. He didn't come back for dinner and didn't come back until she went to bed.

Maybe she was used to it and didn't think much about it.

Just let Caiyu take the hot water pot to warm the quilt.

When she closed the window, she saw a few snowflakes falling.

I reached out and took it, and it was indeed snow.

“It’s snowing.”

Caiyu warmed up the quilt and came over with Tang Pozi in her arms. "This snow looks bigger than the last one."

"Um."

The last snow fell a few times, but disappeared when it landed.

This time the branches should be dyed white. The New Year is coming soon, and it’s time for a heavy snow.

"Caiyu, light up the stove in your room. Don't be reluctant to use the charcoal. We don't need these things anymore."

"It's okay. I'll cover myself with two quilts and I'll have a hot water bottle to warm the bed."

Ruan Xinchen smiled and said nothing more.

This girl is used to saving money.

Habits are often the most feared things and are not so easy to change.

It takes enough time.

While half asleep, Ruan Xinchen suddenly felt the quilt being lifted up, and the body behind her was wrapped in icy cold air and penetrated into her quilt.

She subconsciously pulled the quilt, turned over, and wrapped the quilt tightly around her body, making it impossible to get rid of it.

Then Chu Xuanche's whole body was exposed to the cold air.

He looked at the lump wrapped in the quilt in astonishment.

After thinking about it, he took another quilt, covered the baby with it, and then held the baby in his arms along with the quilt.

In the second half of the night, Ruan Xinchen was awakened by the heat.

It turned out that I was very hot wrapped in the quilt, so I was wrapped in a towel and used as a pillow, and then covered with another quilt.

It was winter, but she was sweating all over.

She struggled for a while before she pulled her hand out of the towel roll and looked at the dark head pushing hard.

Then Chu Xuanche was also pushed awake by her.

"What are you doing?"

What else can I do?

I thought: If I don’t do anything, I will either die of heat or suffocate to death.

"Prince, I'm hot."

"Hot?" Chu Xuanche's eyes darkened. "Have you thought it through? Do you want it?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…” What kind of lewd words are these? Is this what she thinks?

"No, I'm really hot. Really hot. If you believe me, feel me. I'm sweating all over. The quilt is too tight."

Chu Xuanche touched her and actually felt a sweat on her face.

Only then did he let go.

Ruan Xinchen freed himself, exhaled deeply, and opened the quilt to cool himself down.

Just as he opened it, the quilt covered his head again.

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"You're sweating so much and you dare to enjoy the cool breeze. Are you going to get sick again?"

Ruan Xinchen was stunned, and then a warm feeling rose in her heart.

I thought: The prince will be in pain.

"I forgot about it because of the heat. Thank you very much."

So now she is in the same bed with him.

The bedding is very thin, silky and smooth like skin.

Wearing this, if you accidentally touch it, you can feel his solid body.

So hard.

It touched his arm and it was hot and hard.

He was tall and thin, with black hair that made his skin look pale, and he actually looked a little sick.

But I didn't expect the muscles to be so strong.

Ruan Xinchen had a lot of messy thoughts in her mind and felt a little shy, so she slowly moved inside.

"Ah Xin."

Um?

It was the middle of the night, and he lowered his voice deliberately, sounding dull and affectionate.

Ruan Xinchen felt that even after she came out of the towel roll, her ears were still burning.

"Ah Xin?"

He shouted again.

"Are you asleep?"

Ruan Xinchen replied softly, "Soon."

"Then don't sleep yet."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"Talk to me."

What is he going to say?

She was a little curious.

"Okay, you say."

"I'm sorry about what happened today."

Um?

"What is it?"

"Regarding my promise to go back to the Ruan family with you, I..." He sighed helplessly, "I didn't mean to break my promise, I... I can't control it, I can't control myself..."

The voice carried some suppressed pain.

Ruan Xinchen turned around and found that he was trying hard to endure something, his body trembling slightly.
