Chapter 261
26
The Fifth Prince recalled that before he got married, Cheng Zhao would go to his place to tutor him every time he had a holiday. Even if it wasn't for tutoring, he would stay with him for a while and talk to him.
I always invite him to go out and play, but he doesn't like hunting, so he never goes with me...
He thought of how he had asked Cheng Zhao why he didn't spend time with Qiao Ayun during the holidays. If you like someone, shouldn't you want to be with that person all the time? Now that you have a vacation, you should be with each other all the time.
When he said that, wasn't Cheng Zhao right beside him?
As a result, he asked Cheng Zhao why he didn't stay with the person he liked. Cheng Zhao always stayed with him, didn't that mean she liked him?
Before, he was too confused to see Cheng Zhao's feelings for him. If he distanced himself from the situation and recalled their past as if watching a TV drama, Cheng Zhao would not only accompany him every holiday, but also give him extra lessons when he saw that his grades were not good, and replace the palace servants around him when she saw that they were not serving him diligently. She also remembered his favorite dishes and sent him different kinds of delicious food every day.
Looking back further, when Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang were still around, Cheng Zhao would come to see him during the New Year and other holidays, sometimes bringing him things, and sometimes inviting him to his home for dinner.
When he was in high school, he was bullied by his classmates, so Cheng Zhao always took him to and from school and even exchanged seats with the teacher so that they became deskmates.
Thinking about it this way, it is very similar to the plot of an idol drama. If the heroine misunderstands that the hero doesn't like her, does she also misunderstand that Cheng Zhao doesn't like her?
He thought this idea was incredible. How could such an outstanding person like Cheng Zhao like him?
But doesn’t the heroine in the play also doubt how the hero, who has a good family background, is good at studying, and is handsome, could like her?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Cheng Zhao say to him: "The time spent in a daze is also counted as part of the two hours."
The fifth prince: “???”
I'm definitely overthinking it! Cheng Zhao told him to watch for two hours every day for the good of his eyes. He didn't use his eyes when he was daydreaming, so why should that be counted in the time?
Seeing him pouting and trying to press the play button angrily, Cheng Zhao finally gave up and said, "You can watch it for an extra hour today. You can watch it while you're soaking in the hot spring later."
"Really!" The fifth prince was happy again, but he soon realized that Cheng Zhao might really like him...
How could he no longer have the heart to watch TV series? His head was swollen and it felt very unreal.
He looked at Cheng Zhao quietly, his heart pounding wildly. After getting this result, he was more excited than ever, even a little happy and proud.
The fact that such a great person likes me, doesn’t it prove that I am better?
Just like the TV series he watched, the heroine has always been inferior and feels that she is not good enough, but from the hero's perspective, the heroine is the best person in the world. Even if she is not so perfect, the hero's love for her adds a layer of perfect filter to her.
It’s hard to say, when Cheng Zhao looked at him, he also had this filter in his eyes, so the imperfect self also became perfect in Cheng Zhao’s eyes.
No wonder Cheng Zhao arranged him into the elite class. Even though he couldn't keep up with the progress at the beginning, Cheng Zhao did not give up helping him with his lessons and even arranged for him to build cars. This shows that in Cheng Zhao's eyes, he is capable of doing these things.
I didn't expect that even I didn't like myself, I would be cherished so much by Cheng Zhao.
Seeing that he was not eating or watching TV, but just staring at him, Cheng Zhao couldn't help but frown, "What are you thinking about?"
The fifth prince suddenly held his hand and said affectionately, "Thank you."
There were tears in his eyes when he spoke, which made Cheng Zhao full of questions.
"What are you going to do later?" the fifth prince asked him.
"I'm going to go hunting in the woods. If you don't want to move, you can stay and watch TV. When I come back, we'll go for a walk around the neighborhood and soak in the hot springs in the evening." Cheng Zhao has already made all the plans.
He didn't like watching TV dramas. Whenever the Fifth Prince rolled around on the bed because of the sweetness of the TV dramas, he would either read a book nearby or go out to do other things. He was completely unable to integrate into the Fifth Prince's world.
Today he allowed the fifth prince to watch TV series for a while longer. He used this time to walk around in the woods to see if he could find any prey.
"I'll go with you." The Fifth Prince felt that Cheng Zhao had always been with him. Cheng Zhao's love for him was so pitiful. He had to give some response, otherwise he would appear too cold-blooded.
"Can you ride a horse?" Cheng Zhao asked him.
"Aren't you here with me?" The fifth prince thought about sitting on the same horse with Cheng Zhao and sitting in Cheng Zhao's arms. Cheng Zhao held his hand, pulled the bow and arrow and aimed at the prey. The scene seemed like a plot from an idol drama, so romantic.
"Okay, I should teach you how to ride a horse." All Cheng Zhao wanted was to teach the fifth prince how to ride a horse.
After he asked someone to bring the horse over, he turned into a strict teacher, showing no mercy at all.
The Fifth Prince had a gloomy face the whole time he was scolded by him, and he thought to himself that he didn't want to learn how to ride a horse and shoot a bow! He just wanted to spend some time with him, but Cheng Zhao scolded him to death. This is not romantic at all!
He even begged Cheng Zhao to let him go, saying he didn't want to study anymore and wanted to go back to rest. However, Cheng Zhao refused to let him go and said, "You wanted to study, how can you give up halfway? You must correct your habit of being short-lived in everything you do."
"But I don't have any talent. Why don't we not learn how to ride horses and I go catch butterflies, okay?" The Fifth Prince saw that begging for mercy was useless, so he tried to act like a spoiled child instead.
"There's a time to catch butterflies." Cheng Zhao knew that he liked to be lazy, and someone had to be by his side to urge him, so that he could learn the skills he wanted to give up. For example, in the previous class, the Fifth Prince always said that he was stupid and couldn't learn, so he forced him to learn for a while, and he really learned it.
The Fifth Prince's face fell completely. He felt that he must be being too sentimental. How could Cheng Zhao really like him?
He asked Cheng Zhao: "Are you my husband or my teacher? Or are we just superiors and subordinates? Don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
