Chapter 520 Extra - Sleep Now
Shu Tong felt that her face couldn't be described as just red; it was probably... turned into a shrimp.
She quickly released her hand and took a step back, saying apologetically, "Does Your Highness intend to sleep in your undergarments?"
Chen Ci nodded, raised his hand and buttoned up the first button that Shu Tong had unbuttoned, then casually said, "Would you dare to get into bed if I wasn't wearing my undergarments?"
Shu Tong: "..."
Watching the man's dashing figure head towards the bed, Shu Tong couldn't help but think to herself: Even if you were wearing your undergarments, I wouldn't dare!
Chen Ci walked to the bedside, slipped on his slippers, and waved to Shu Tong who was still standing there: "Come here."
Shu Tong tried her best to calm her flushed face, but it was really difficult. She moved over step by step: "Your Highness... Your Highness should go to sleep first. I still need to sort out the details of tomorrow's sports meet... Me!"
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Ci grabbed her arm and gently pulled her in front of him.
Chen Ci looked at her with his deep, smiling eyes: "Those matters will be arranged by the Imperial Uncle's people. Now it's time to sleep."
He slightly raised his chin, his gaze fixed on her flushed face and wary eyes, while his other hand touched the ribbon at her waist, hooking it with one hand...
Shu Tong quickly raised her hand to cover her waist: "I...I...I can do it myself."
Chen Ci nodded: "Agreed."
He released her hand, looked at her embarrassed face, and said with a half-smile, "Come on, it's late, we have to get up early tomorrow."
"yes."
Shu Tong verbally agreed, but her hands were still dawdling as she did so. However, she quickly took off her outer garment and skirt.
Fortunately, the ancients had very thick inner garments, which were still quite conservative even after taking off their skirts and outer garments.
She breathed a sigh of relief, tucked her skirt away, and then took small steps to the bedside. She didn't dare to look directly at Chen Ci, but she could feel his burning gaze.
She quickly took off her shoes, climbed into bed, lay down, and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
Chen Ci smiled and got up to blow out the lantern by the bed. Because of the clear moonlight, the scenery in the room was still faintly visible.
He went back to the bedside, climbed onto the bed, and could clearly hear Shu Tong's slightly nervous breathing.
He smiled, wanting to tease her even more, and reached out to loosen the curtains.
The cramped space suddenly became dark, but this darkness did not make people feel at ease.
The man beside her seemed to have never lain down, and Shu Tong couldn't see what he was doing.
This feeling is like knowing that a knife is about to stab you, but you don't know when it will come.
That feeling was absolutely agonizing.
After hearing no sound from beside her for a long time, Shu Tong simply uttered a soft "Your Highness..."
"Hmm?" Chen Ci lay down and turned his head to look at the vague figure in the darkness: "What?"
"It's nothing." Shu Tong forced a smile. "Go to sleep, Your Highness, may you sleep well."
Chen Ci remained silent until a moment later when he chuckled softly, "My beloved and I live in the same room but nothing has happened. I doubt anyone would believe that."
Shu Tong's face flushed again. Fortunately, the darkness concealed her, and she felt that Chen Ci would not notice her, but for a moment she did not know how to respond.
After a long pause, he said, "I'm so tired today, and it's also a bit hot. I'm all sweaty, and it's so late that I haven't taken a shower yet..."
The implication was that it was best not to serve His Highness.
Chen Ci actually took a light sniff in the air: "No, there is a faint scent of orange blossom instead."
