This kid is really spoiled. Normally, he only feeds on one side when he is breastfed. He will cry if you move his position to another side. If you only feed one side, the other side will inevitably become swollen.
However, Chen was too embarrassed to ask Tao Yiru and her daughter, so he had to quietly go back to the room, lower the curtain, and rub it himself.
Unfortunately, the place that Silai liked was bitten by Xie Shiguan today, leaving him with nothing. The little boy tried his best but couldn't get any milk. His face immediately turned red and he started crying in anger.
Shen was hurt by his bite and frowned slightly, but he still had to coax her with his hands.
But this kid is flexible. When he was very hungry, his picky temper disappeared. When he moved to the other side, he was willing to eat a meal.
Xie Shiguan walked closely behind Shen Que. There was no floor heating in this country house. His Highness ordered Guyu and Xiaoman to search the yard, but they only found a small pile of charcoal for cooking.
This thing cannot be used indoors. Once it is lit, the whole house will be filled with thick smoke.
But it was cold and humid in the south, and it was even colder inside the house than outside. Chen was drenched in sweat, and if you rubbed him, you'd probably wring water out of him. Now that his baby wanted to feed, he had to half-take off the wide robe he was wearing, and his hands and feet were so cold that they were cold.
Xie Shiguan stuck to his back clingingly. The heat on his body had not yet subsided, and through the single garment he was wearing, his heat was pressing against Shen Que's lower back.
Just now, the mute was lying on the couch with an appearance of being confused and lost in love. But in just a moment, he became the ah-ah of the baby in his arms again, with eyes full of compassion, and even the movement of unbuttoning his clothes seemed holy.
He lowered his head slightly and rested the tip of his chin on the mute's shoulder. He pulled open the wide crane cloak he was wearing and held Shen Que's arms. He didn't realize how heavy he was, and with this pressure, Shen Que was unable to move.
Then Xie Shiguan lowered his eyes and carefully looked at the little boy in his arms. He had never thought that he would have offspring. His Highness did not like children because they were so soft and fragile, as if they would break if touched.
But such a young and fragile little life could actually howl with such an alarming cry. Even though he knew that this little thing was related to him by blood, Xie Shiguan found it difficult to have any good feelings towards him. He didn't want to coax him, but just felt that he was noisy and should be mouthed covered.
But whenever the prince thought of the mute and his son, he would inexplicably feel a sense of unreality in his heart. The scene before him was like a strange dream. It seemed that when he opened his eyes, he would still see the bare sea in the small house in Lansheng Courtyard, and it was all empty.
Perhaps it was because he was thinking about something every day, and during the time when Shen was not around, Xie Shiguan often dreamed of him. He couldn't help it, and every time he dreamed of him, he would make the man in his dreams hot and wet. Even if he ate the man thoroughly, he would still be hungry.
In his dream, he could only see the back and profile of the mute. As long as he forced him to turn around, he would be awakened from the dream.
In his dream, the mute was only represented by his back.
Now that he was really hugging him, Xie Shiguan still felt empty inside. Desire was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. So he buried his head in his neck and sniffed, bit and kissed him, making his neck a mess.
However, Shen's legs went limp after being bitten by him, and she half fell into his arms. She turned around with tears in her eyes and begged him.
"You're so cold," Xie Shiguan was so cruel that he left a tooth mark on his earlobe. He kept saying the word "cold" but his body was burning. "Go back to the couch and feed me, okay?"
He seemed to be asking for his opinion, but he just asked verbally, and without waiting for Shen Que's response, he carried the person to the couch in a rude manner.
Shen struggled to get up a little. He would rather stand here and suffer the cold than go back to the couch. What the prince was thinking was clearly revealed by what was hurting him.
He was unwilling to do this in front of Si Lai. Even though he didn't understand anything, being pampered in front of a child would only make him feel even more despised.
Noticing the mute's resistance, King Yan became a little unhappy.
He is no longer Lin Xie, nor that "death warrior", but Chen Que's master, His Royal Highness Prince Yan whom he longs for. He should be obedient, so how dare he still struggle?
But Shen refused to get on the bed. Xie Shiguan was angry, but he didn't force himself. He endured the pain in his lower abdomen and said hatefully, "It's up to you. Don't blame me if you get a fever from catching a cold."
How could Shen be willing to blame him? He had never blamed His Highness before. Even though Xie Shiguan had asked him to do that just now, he was not angry.
He knew that His Highness liked new things, and that he was probably just treating him like this on a whim. When the novelty wore off, His Highness would probably think that his body was ugly and would get tired of him.
But if his obedience at this moment could gain the prince's leniency towards Silai in the future, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life now.
Xie Shiguan loosened his grip and stopped hugging him. It would be torture for himself to continue hugging him. He went to the small wooden table behind him, poured himself a cup of cold tea, and drank it in a few gulps, but it did not extinguish the anger in his heart.
So His Highness leaned on the table, looking closely at the dumb man's figure, from his ankles faintly visible under the wide robe, to his neck inch by inch, thinking in his heart how he should punish the brat after he fell asleep.
Shen felt uneasy being stared at, so he had to quietly move towards the window. The small window was closed tightly. There was a suitcase on the bamboo cabinet below, which Xie Shiguan had just opened. He rummaged through it, and his sleeves fell out and hung down on the side of the suitcase.
His Highness has been pampered since childhood, and it is already a great honor for him to ask him to find him a set of clean clothes. It is impossible for him to put this suitcase in order.
However, Chen couldn't bear to see such a mess, so he held Silai in one hand and roughly tidied up the messed-up clothes with the other hand.
There was no place to put the spare clothes that Xie Shiguan brought, so they were all stuffed into his small suitcase. Just as Shen Que started to rummage through it, he unexpectedly saw the brocade socks of His Highness squeezed in the corner, and he was hesitant to touch them.
I secretly complained in my heart, how could His Highness have the nerve to put such a private thing here?
Not daring to move, Shen Que picked up a robe to cover it, and kept a blank expression on his face, pretending that he had seen nothing.
But halfway through, he suddenly felt something strangely soft on his fingertips, which felt like human skin. Shen was startled and accidentally startled Silai in his arms. The kid whined in dissatisfaction, but then he coaxed himself and didn't make a fuss.
Shen was a little curious, so he investigated further and found that it seemed to be an outer coat of His Highness, but there seemed to be something underneath the coat.
His heart beat inexplicably faster. If he just turned the coat over, he would know what it was.
But his subconscious mind gave him a hint, quietly warning him not to act rashly, and not to explore beyond his capabilities.
After much hesitation, Shen finally reached out his hand and gently lifted up the robe of His Highness.
After seeing clearly what was underneath, Shen's breathing stagnated and he stood there in a daze.
It was a human skin mask that was made with great craftsmanship. Such an ordinary face was so familiar that it made him feel timid and terrified.
Shen seemed in disbelief and closed his eyes, but his eyelashes were still trembling violently.
He heard the prince's footsteps behind him. After seeing the face in the suitcase, Xie Shiguan's expression did not change. Instead, he picked up the face calmly and played with it in his hands.
This was made by a special person. It is a thin piece of leather, but it is worth a fortune. Not only does it feel like the texture of a human face to the touch, but if it is pasted properly, even in broad daylight, if someone looks closely, they will not be able to make out any clues.
What’s more, it was in that small house, under the dim candlelight?
The reason why Xie Shiguan kept the skin and didn't throw it away was because Shen Que had to know about this matter. If it weren't for the accident in his arms, it wouldn't be a big deal if he kept it secret for a few more days.
But with this kid, if he has to pretend to be the non-existent assassin, when he returns home, who knows how many lies he will have to cover up. It would be better to make things clear right now.
But His Highness had not intended to say it tonight. Today was cloudy and rainy, and he should just talk about old times with this mute, and make love with him. He should arouse his emotions and desires, but he should not use his brain.
However, since he was forced to confront the mute in advance, Xie Shiguan did not take it as a problem. He believed that he had done nothing wrong to the mute. He was the mute's master, and even if the mute wanted his life, he should give it to him happily.
It was just an insignificant deception, and he didn't really mean to blame him even though he had taken it upon himself to hide in this water town for nearly a year. As he had been treated so tolerantly, the mute should be content.
"Why are you closing your eyes?" Xie Shiguan laughed, "Open your eyes."
"Open your eyes and look at me..." Xie Shiguan forced him to look at him, and then rubbed the leather on his face with ease, "Does it look familiar?"
Shen stood there in a daze, not even blinking. All the blood left his face and his expression became uglier and uglier, like a crumbling piece of white paper.
Xie Shiguan didn't like his reaction, so he pushed hard against him, pressed him down and kissed him, pushing him against the wall, reaching his long fingers down, and then strangling his neck neither lightly nor heavily.
"Lin Xie" often treated him like this, but his attack was much harsher than what the prince did now, so the fear that he had deliberately suppressed and hidden in the deepest part of his heart was easily awakened.
"Are you familiar with him?" There was no trace of remorse in his tone, he was still teasing, still teasing, "I am your man, even if you have forgotten who 'Lin Xie' is, you should not forget the person who made you pregnant."
Shen felt a knot of pain in his heart, as if countless hands were clutching his heart and lungs, and his internal organs were twisted and painful.
He dared not think about it, dared not admit it, how could his highness be so despicable?
If everyone was Lin Xie, he probably wouldn't be as sad as he is now, except Xie Shiguan.
It was he who pulled him out of the long and dark night, and from then on he had enough food and clothing and no longer had to endure hunger and cold; it was he who brought him back to the palace, and he no longer had to be a livestock for people to pick and choose in the bustling market; it was also he who let him live in Lansheng Courtyard, giving him a place that felt like "home".
His Highness freed him from slavery and taught him calligraphy, which were unforgettable favors in his heart...
He suddenly felt so ridiculous. All those painful struggles, sleepless tossing and turning, and desperate roars seemed like a joke.
In Shen Que's heart, His Highness had almost no flaws at all. He was supposed to be a flawless gentleman like white jade, bright and clear as the moon.
He was a slave he bought, and even his life should belong to him. If Xie Shiguan wanted it, as long as he opened his mouth, there was nothing he could not give him.
But why did you lie to him like this? Using such a despicable method.
How painful and desperate he was when his already extremely fragile self-esteem was chipped away bit by bit.
The invasion and demands were like a nightmare. In the countless days and nights after leaving Beijing, whenever he saw the slightest shadow of them, he would still grit his teeth in fear and tremble with trepidation.
Why is it the prince? Why?
Unlike what Xie Shiguan expected, Shen did not seem to be happy or angry, nor did he seem to be in grief. Instead, there was a moment of lost confusion in his eyes, and then the look he gave him suddenly became very strange.
This was obviously not the reaction His Highness wanted to see.
The author has something to say:
I checked and they said it would take a long time to review. Sigh... I am more sad now than if I found out my husband was cheating on me (I don't have a husband, I'm just talking nonsense)
Let's keep our voices down in the comments section from now on, shush shush, don't mention Hua City, and wear your pants tighter~
