Chapter 69 "A match made in heaven, with no taboos..."
Yan Jiarou pressed her cheek against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and thought to herself, if Xiao Che had treated her like this sooner, they wouldn't have missed so much time together.
The spoiled and willful Miss Yan would never admit that she also has problems!
Thinking this, she muttered softly, "It's all your fault..."
Xiao Che assumed it was the same thing as before, so he rubbed her round head and chuckled indistinctly, "Okay, it's all my fault. Are you satisfied now, baby?"
Yan Jiarou gave a soft hum, snuggled gently against him, and after a while said, "Brother, I'm sleepy..."
She was truly exhausted. The long journey had left her utterly worn out, and then she'd spent ages trying to help Xiao Che with his hands—it was so big, she couldn't even hold it in her hand. She wondered if he was deliberately teasing her, why he wouldn't come out. *Sobbing* She was on strike and then he yelled at her…
And I just had another good cry, which completely drained my last bit of energy. I'm truly exhausted.
She had just said "I'm sleepy" when her long, even breathing was heard.
Xiao Che raised an eyebrow, pried open her face, and saw that her little face was rosy with traces of tears that hadn't dried yet, and her red lips were slightly parted, she had actually fallen asleep.
He stroked her cheek.
Her face was small, and his hands were large, easily covered by a single palm.
He couldn't resist pinching her cheek with one hand.
Her fair, smooth cheeks overflowed from between her fingers, like milk.
He smiled and said, "What a chubby little rabbit!"
"How about calling me Little Pig from now on?"
Yan Jiarou, still half asleep, grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Brother, um...no..."
Xiao Che only realized later that when Yan Jiarou had buried her face in his arms while crying, her snot and tears had already covered him, and he was now a complete mess.
He couldn't help but laugh, thinking that he was the one who made the person cry, and then he had to go out of his way to comfort them. Every time, the rabbit would use his clothes as handkerchiefs. The rabbit was always wet, and once he made someone cry, his clothes would be soaked with tears. He really had brought this upon himself.
But he just couldn't resist teasing her; whenever he was around her, he couldn't help but start being sarcastic.
To some extent, he was probably quite ill.
——
They arrived at the inn as night was falling. Little Rabbit was still asleep, and Xiao Che had no choice but to wake her up, even though he couldn't bear to do so.
Jia Rou, still sleepy after waking up, was unusually languid and clingy.
She leaned on the small table, looked up at Xiao Che who had gotten off the carriage and was waiting for her beside it, and reached out to him, saying coquettishly, "Pull me up."
Xiao Che raised an eyebrow, reached out and took the delicate hand she offered. With a slight pull, she couldn't help but lean forward, falling right into Xiao Che's arms.
Xiao Che carried her directly off the carriage.
Yan Jiarou, still shaken, cried out softly and scolded, "Brother, you scared me!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Xiao Che chuckled. "Would I let you get hurt?"
——
When they arrived at the inn, they found that there weren't enough rooms, so Yan Jiarou had to squeeze into one with someone else. The three of them stood in the corridor between the last two rooms. Xiao Yan looked at her with interest and asked, "Little Jiarou, what do you say?"
Yan Jiarou pursed her lips, leaned close to Xiao Che, and whispered, "It's alright, Second Brother. I'll just stay in the same room as Third Brother."
Xiao Yan exclaimed "Oh!" and deliberately clicked his tongue twice: "They're both older brothers, so why is Jia Rou so biased? She only agrees to share a room with her third brother, but won't come and live with me?"
Jia Rou blushed and said, "I..."
Xiao Che said, "Second brother, stop joking with her."
"Oh, so you're protecting her now?" Xiao Yan chuckled meaningfully, then said nothing more. As he passed by Yan Jiarou, he suddenly caught a faint scent of sandalwood.
The smell was very faint, obviously it had been cleaned up and would not be easily noticed by others. However, he had just smelled this smell in the carriage, so he was naturally more sensitive than the average person.
It turns out that the one who was having a good time in the carriage just now was not only him, but also his good third brother.
However, although Yan Jiarou was not of royal blood, she was still a princess and had been taught etiquette and morality since childhood. She was not a promiscuous woman from a brothel. It was somewhat unexpected that she would engage in illicit sexual relations.
Given her intimate behavior with Xiao Che today, and even her initiative to ask to share a room with him, it's hard not to have some suspicions. He's known for his unrestrained and outspoken nature when it comes to matters of love and sex, so he couldn't help but tease her, "Speaking of which, when Xiao Jiarou came to me that day, saying she was suffering from a strange illness and couldn't be separated from Third Brother, it seems that she's just lovesick."
"What is it about Third Brother that you are so obsessed with?"
"Little Jiarou, after this experience, I'm afraid you'll never be able to leave her side again, right?"
With no one else around but the three siblings, Xiao Yan spoke without restraint.
Yan Jiarou blinked, looking at him blankly, seemingly not understanding what he meant.
Xiao Che suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, "Second brother, she is not one of your concubines and favored maids. She is your younger sister. You can't joke like that. Don't say any vulgar things in front of your younger sister. She can't stand it."
"Please be careful with your words and actions, Second Brother. There will be no next time."
This was quite ruthless, and even Xiao Yan, who was usually jovial, couldn't help but look embarrassed, his lips twitching slightly.
He couldn't help but recall some rumors he had heard not long ago, that Xiao Jue and Xiao Che had gotten into a fight in Chenghuan Palace for some unknown reason. Although it was just a baseless rumor, Xiao Jue explained to everyone that the bruises on his face were just from an accidental fall, and that the roads were indeed slippery due to the rain in those days.
However, Xiao Yan had a vague feeling that this matter was inextricably linked to Yan Jiarou.
Otherwise, why would it be in Chenghuan Hall of particular interest?
What he saw today only confirmed his previous suspicions.
—The reason Xiao Che hit Xiao Jue that day was probably because he was jealous of Yan Jiarou.
Needless to say, even his second brother, who was always close to him, was not spared any mercy by him just now.
He only said a few dirty words to his precious daughter. These dirty words were just for fun. Xiao Jiarou is his sister. How could he have any feelings for her?
He's not like Xiao Che or Xiao Jue, who wouldn't even spare his own sister. Although he's obsessed with women, when it comes to doing outrageous things, he's far inferior to Xiao Che and Xiao Jue. At least, no matter how much he wants women, he wouldn't covet his sister whom he's watched grow up!
But because of those two lewd remarks, Xiao Che immediately turned hostile and almost hit him.
His expression was also rather unpleasant.
However, he was more tolerant of Xiao Che than others. After thinking about it, he realized that his third brother usually didn't treat him like this. He was just too concerned about Xiao Jiarou, which was why he spoke so rudely today.
Moreover, he hit Xiao Jue, but only said a few harsh words to him. What does that mean? It means that he still cares about his second brother.
Forget it, just admit your mistake and give his brother a way out.
What else can we do? We're brothers, are we really going to turn against each other over a woman?
But before he could even speak, Yan Jiarou quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
She had witnessed Xiao Jue and Xiao Che fight over her last time, and it left her traumatized; she was terrified that such a thing would happen again.
Both of them are her brothers, and she would be very worried if either of them got hurt.
She quickly stood in front of Xiao Che, secretly took his hand and shook it, signaling him not to add fuel to the fire.
She said to Xiao Yan, "Actually, Second Brother is right. I like Xiao Che, and there's nothing to hide in front of you... Besides, Xiao Che does have a treasure. I can't live without him. But what does this mean? We've done that many times already."
Xiao Che: "?"
Xiao Yan: "Uh, Xiao Jiarou, you..."
Even though he was a seasoned veteran of the world and had heard and said all sorts of nonsense, he was still taken aback when he suddenly heard his younger sister say such a thing.
Well, this younger sister's behavior is far bolder than he imagined.
He coughed, then glanced up at his third brother with a hint of schadenfreude. Sure enough, he saw that his brother also had a complicated expression. When their eyes met, he immediately put on an innocent look, as if to say, "I didn't say anything after that. She said it herself."
Xiao Che frowned, reached out and covered her mouth expressionlessly: "Royal sister, stop talking."
"Ugh... Waaah." The imperial sister looked aggrieved.
Xiao Yan finally realized what was going on. He thought that according to Xiao Jiarou, they must have been together a long time ago. No wonder Xiao Jue was so angry that his nose was crooked and he dared to fight with Xiao Che.
Good, good, so it turns out Xiao Jue got cuckolded earlier than he thought. That's really gratifying!
His third brother truly lives up to his name!
It was so satisfying to make Xiao Jue suffer a setback.
He was in a great mood and naturally didn't care at all about Xiao Che giving him a hard time today.
On the contrary, when his younger sister said something wrong, he was afraid that Xiao Che would be angry, so he didn't lash out at his younger sister, but instead took his anger out on him. It has to be said, this is really something that Xiao Che would do.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Yan decided that leaving was the best course of action. He looked at Yan Jiarou, chuckled twice, and said, "Little Jiarou, this is actually your private matter, and your second brother has no interest in knowing. Well then, I'll be leaving now. Cough cough, I won't disturb you any longer..."
After saying that, he turned and went into the room on the left.
After Xiao Yan left, Xiao Che lowered his head and pinched her cheek, frowning as he said, "Silly girl, what nonsense were you spouting just now?"
"Why are you talking big, hmm?" His tone was slightly deep, and he looked at her with an almost scrutinizing gaze, but there was a clear hint of bewildered confusion in his eyes: "We clearly haven't even once."
"You said it several times," he chuckled, a playful tone in his voice, "Who said it to you several times?"
"Yan Jiarou, don't you know what shame is?"
Yan Jiarou blinked, a hint of confusion showing in her clear, innocent eyes: "But, didn't we do it several times?" She stretched out her slender, white fingertip and gently tapped his neck: "I've drawn blood here so many times, I can't even remember."
Xiao Che: "…………"
Xiao Che sighed and leaned down to touch her forehead: "Baby," he said, "I'm really defeated by you."
He swallowed hard, leaned close to her ear, and whispered slowly, "The meaning behind Xiao Yan's two sentences is clearly..."
Yan Jiarou slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and her fair cheeks flushed crimson almost instantly!
If the ground could crack open for no reason, she would have loved to crawl into a hole and disappear.
After the initial shock and shame, tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Xiao Che gently comforted her, "Don't cry. I doubt Xiao Yan will dare to talk nonsense in front of you again. Baby, you must remember that from now on, you will not allow any man to make such jokes in front of you, even if it's a joke about you or me. Do you understand?"
Yan Jiarou nodded, looking at him with a somewhat questioning gaze, her eyes clearly saying: "You're a man too... When it comes to the ability to tell dirty jokes, even ten Xiao Yans might not be able to match him." In this world, there was probably no other man who would say so many lewd things in front of her.
Now he's warning her to be careful of other men... How strange! It's like the wolf chief warning a little rabbit to be careful of other wolves, but shouldn't he be the one she's most wary of?
Yan Jiarou couldn't hide anything; whatever she was thinking was written all over her face.
Xiao Che: "?"
He was amused and reached out to flick her nose: "What are you thinking, little bunny? Do you think I'm the same as them?"
"You heartless bastard, do you think I'm some other man?"
His breath brushed against hers, his low, husky voice mingled with laughter, his breath falling on her neck, sending a burning, ticklish sensation through her.
From a distance, it looks like they're kissing, like a pair of inseparable lovers: "I am your man. My royal sister, I am yours."
“I told you, we’re a match made in heaven,”
"Nature has no taboos."
