Before Shen Ye could say anything, he spoke again, "What's wrong, are you shy or embarrassed?"
As he spoke, he walked over to Chen Ye, pulled him into his arms, and said, "Then I, the king, will reluctantly take the initiative."
"Hey, hey, hey, hey." Shen Ye's heart tightened, and she pushed him away, but unexpectedly, he was hugged tightly. "Are you having another episode?"
Lian Jingzhi was silent for a few seconds, then released him, expressionless, and said, "You can go now."
"yes."
"What was I doing? I actually hugged him..." Lian Jingzhi sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"So the plague god called me in just to watch him have an attack?" Shen Ye scratched his head. "That's really strange!"
The sky was now covered with dark clouds, a far cry from the clear blue sky of moments before. The young women remained motionless outside the main hall.
A scheme flashed through his mind. Shen Ye cleared his throat and pointed to several young women who caught his eye, saying, "You, you, and you, hurry up and go in. Don't keep the prince waiting." With that, he chuckled and left. He wasn't about to stay any longer and wait for that plague god to lash out at him.
He ran back to his little nest without looking back, then hid under the covers and chuckled to himself. It felt so good. If he could see that scoundrel's disgusted expression, it would be even better than winning the lottery.
But this joy didn't last long, because someone came and said, "Attendant Yu, His Highness requests your presence."
"I'm not going!"
"This..." The person outside sounded embarrassed.
"Please tell the Prince... oh no, I mean tell him that I'm sick, I have a high fever, and I don't have the strength to get up!"
Knowing that this plague god would seek revenge, Shen Ye resolutely refused to go, even if it meant death!
Lying in bed, Shen Ye felt very uneasy, unsure whether it was because of the weather or Lian Jingzhi's strange behavior earlier. She felt inexplicably hot.
They kept faking illness, even skipping dinner late at night. Luckily, they didn't call a doctor, otherwise they would have definitely been exposed.
Lying in bed with nothing to do, he soon fell asleep. Before he knew it, a warm hand gently caressed his face, tenderly stroking his lips.
Lian Jingzhi, who had entered at some point, sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a complicated gaze. In his hazy state, Shen Ye seemed to read a hidden pity and worry in his eyes—was it an illusion or a hallucination?
"I heard you were sick? Even when I sent someone to invite you, you couldn't come." He remained sitting by the bed, his slender fingers gently stroking Shen Ye's face.
"..." After hesitating for half a second, Shen Ye sat up in shock. "Damn it! How did you sneak into my room and spy on me while I was sleeping again?!"
He became angry, "What do you mean by spying? Everything here belongs to me, including you!"
"What the hell! I didn't sign a contract of servitude, how is it yours?" Shen Ye retorted without any politeness.
"You..." Lian Jingzhi was clearly angry, his hands gripping Shen Ye's head, forcing him to look him in the eye. "If I wanted, your contract of servitude would already be signed. From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to get too close to Su Yan. Even your life belongs to me, understand?"
"I don't understand. Besides, it's none of your business who I get close to. Is it any of your business?"
"......"
"Do you have to speak harshly to me? Do you have to make me angry?" He pressed his head down hard, all the gentleness and pity from before gone.
"Yeah, it's quite fun to make you angry." Shen Ye laughed heartlessly.
