Chapter 118 Sleeping in the same bed, Shen Chu actually acted coquettishly.
Pei Yuan wanted to ask Shen Chu what he had seen in the dossier, but when he opened the door, he saw him holding the dossier and sleeping soundly on the soft couch.
How dare they sleep on his soft couch!
He strode forward, ready to lift Chen Chu up.
When he reached the bedside and saw Shen Chu lying on it, his outstretched hand slowly stopped in mid-air.
The morning light streamed in through the window, illuminating his fair face and making his features appear even more handsome and defined.
Perhaps because of the heat, his face was flushed with a faint blush. His long eyelashes were thick and curled, his nose was straight and delicate, and below them were soft, red lips, as if they had been rouged, slightly pouting as if inviting someone to pluck them.
Pei Yuan's gaze slid over his lips, and he inexplicably felt his Adam's apple tighten.
He couldn't help but snort, his lips even redder than a woman's. How could Shen Chu, a man, be becoming more and more effeminate?
The hand that had been hovering in mid-air finally fell down and landed on Chen Chu's ear.
"Chen Chu, wake up."
He intended to pinch Shen Chu's ear to wake him up, but his earlobe was so soft and slippery that it seemed like it would break if he pinched it.
Pei Yuan's hand froze instantly.
Chen Chu seemed to sense someone disturbing her in her sleep. Annoyed, she turned over, buried her head under the pillow, and murmured softly:
"I'm so sleepy, let me sleep a little longer, just a little longer, okay~"
His voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of sleepiness, quite different from his usual clear and melodious voice. In particular, his drawn-out voice had a soft and sweet quality, like that of a spoiled little girl.
Pei Yuan seemed to be struck by lightning, instantly withdrawing his hand. His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
Shen Chu... she's actually acting cute!
How can a grown man act so coquettishly? He won't even wake up in his sleep!
When he wakes up, we must give him a stern reprimand, and we must put the initial training plan on the agenda.
He rarely found a court official he liked, and he wouldn't allow Shen Chu to become a sissy!
Well, this time... never mind, considering how hard he worked digging up the grave, let him sleep a little longer.
Pei Yuan sat in front of the couch, staring at Shen Chu's sleeping face for a moment, the familiar scent of wisteria lingering around his nose, and his eyelids gradually closed.

Li Chengxuan didn't sleep well all night. He forced himself to carry Zhang Da's body back to the Flying Eagle Guard despite his fear. However, he was then conscripted by Sun Yan, who had brought people back, to help record the testimonies of the doctors at Huimin Pharmacy.
Li Zhuangding spent the whole night painstakingly recording, feeling that he had written more words in the previous seventeen years than he had in this one night.
After finally finishing his work, he grabbed one of the Flying Eagle Guards and asked, "Have you seen Lord Shen?"
"Young Master Shen is discussing matters in the Sixth Prince's office."
Li Chengxuan was exhausted and sleepy; his legs were flying ahead while his brain was chasing behind.
Uh, I didn't catch up. My legs were a step faster, and with a push of my hands, I opened the door.
My God, what did he see?
The Sixth Prince and A Chu were actually sleeping together, head to head and shoulder to shoulder!
Achu turned her body slightly to the side, making it look as if she was nestled in the Sixth Prince's arms.
Li Chengxuan's world collapsed, and he subconsciously let out a bloodcurdling howl, "Ahhh!"
Pei Yuan and Shen Chu, who were fast asleep on the soft couch, opened their eyes at the same time and sat up with a start.
Bang.
Because they got up so quickly, their foreheads collided violently.
Shen Chu gasped when she was hit, and then fell back onto her pillow.
"You...you all!" Li Chengxuan's wailing continued.
Pei Yuan shot him a cold glare, "Shut up!"
Li Chengxuan shuddered, his voice abruptly stopping, as if a chick had suddenly been grabbed by the neck.
At the same time, the Flying Eagle Guards heard his voice and quickly gathered over there. "What happened, young master?"
Li Chengxuan glanced behind him as the Flying Eagle Guards approached, while in front of him sat the Sixth Prince and Achu on a soft couch.
We mustn't let them see what happened between the Sixth Prince and A-Chu.
His tired mind suddenly became exceptionally clear. He gritted his teeth, rushed into the house, and slammed the door shut behind him.
He leaned against the door frame to catch his breath, and when he looked up, he found the Sixth Prince and A-Chu staring at him speechlessly.
Did he do something wrong?
Li Chengxuan originally wanted to ask if the Sixth Prince had done anything to him, but restrained by the Sixth Prince's piercing gaze, he swallowed hard and asked in a low voice:
"A-Chu, are you...are you alright?"
Chen Chu gritted his teeth, "It was fine before, but it's not now."
"Why?" he asked, looking bewildered.
Pei Yuan glanced at him coldly and said, "Get out."
Li Chengxuan shrank back, swallowing the question that was on the tip of his tongue, and quickly opened the door and slipped away.
As soon as he stepped outside, he was surrounded by the Flying Eagle Guards.
The Flying Eagle Guards looked at him with the same piercing gaze one would give a mosquito the sight of blood, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Young Master, His Highness and Lord Shen are inside..."
Li Chengxuan blurted out, "They didn't do anything inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Flying Eagle Guards exchanged knowing glances and smiled knowingly.
"Oh, you didn't do anything~"
Li Chengxuan belatedly realized that his action of closing the door just now seemed too deliberate.
It's common for brothers and friends to talk all night and sleep side by side.
His hasty slamming of the door shut would spark endless speculation.
“They really didn’t do anything,” he explained in vain.
The Flying Eagle Guards gave him an expression that said, "No need for explanation, we all understand."
Some even whispered, "I knew His Highness treated Lord Shen differently."
Li Chengxuan felt a chill run down his spine. Oh no, oh no, what if the Sixth Prince twists his head off?
Pei Yuan's icy voice came from inside the door, "If I hear another sound, you're all going to Yunnan to eat poisonous insects."
The Flying Eagle Guards quickly dispersed, dragging Li Chengxuan with them.
Inside the room, Shen Chu rubbed her swollen forehead and muttered softly, "Now I really can't explain myself even if I jump into the Yellow River."
"What? Did I insult you by getting entangled with this prince?" Pei Yuan stood in front of the bed and glanced at her.
Shen Chu found it unbelievable, "Your Highness, aren't you the one who despises homosexuality the most?"
Otherwise, why would he have swiftly and decisively beheaded the Third Prince?
Her eyes widened in terror. "You...you can't be...me..."
Upon hearing the words "homosexual," Pei Yuan's eyes flashed with intense disgust. "You don't actually think that I, the prince, have taken a liking to you, do you?"
"No...isn't that right?" She swallowed. "Otherwise, why would you sleep with me?"
Pei Yuan suddenly leaned closer to her, his peach blossom eyes slightly upturned, revealing a captivating smile.
"This is my soft couch. You climbed onto my soft couch. I would like to ask you what your intentions are."
"Tell me, haven't you been lusting after me all along, trying to seduce me?"
The two were very close, so close that she could see her own reflection in Pei Yuan's pupils.
A sudden panic gripped her, and she rolled off the couch, crying, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
After a pause, she regained her composure and retorted, "Even if I climbed onto His Highness's soft couch first, why didn't His Highness wake me up when he came back? Instead, he lay down and slept with me."
Who knows if His Highness harbors other feelings for this humble subject?
Pei Yuan wanted to refute, but suddenly the image of Shen Chu sleeping soundly flashed before his eyes, along with his soft, drawn-out, coquettish voice. His eyes subconsciously fell on Shen Chu's face again.
