For several days in a row, Rong Yu came to see him every day. After he compromised that night, Rong Yu would come to the villa whenever he had free time, regardless of day or night, and stay with him all the time.
Although everything seemed to have calmed down, Geng Qi knew that the defenses in this villa were several times stronger than before.
He never mentioned the shackles on his feet. When necessary, Rong Yu would unlock the chains for him. The shackles were exquisitely made. Without the connecting chains, they looked like ankle bracelets. If he covered them with the hem of his clothes, they would not be noticeable if he stood in the courtyard without moving. However, he rarely saw anyone.
Even so, Rong Yu would become more vigilant than usual when he saw him leave the room. At such times, Geng Qi would go back to the room, put the chains back on, and find it amusing to watch the extremely complicated expression on the other person's face.
Rong Yu would occasionally blush as he locked himself back in, but he never stopped him. Only when he saw him back in bed could he finally relax.
Geng Qi knew that this person needed to be appeased right now.
The more he resisted, the more obsessive Rong Yu became; on the contrary, he always went along with him, and Rong Yu was unable to do anything about it.
Rong Yu didn't want to wrong him, but she was also worried that he would run away.
She wanted to reassure him, but also wanted to put herself at ease, so she looked conflicted.
Geng Qi, understanding and considerate, did for him everything he wanted to do but hesitated to do.
Rong Yu felt as if he had become a completely different person.
But he liked this change.
The servants at the villa gradually noticed that His Highness the Crown Prince, who hadn't set foot there for half a month, suddenly started coming to the villa every day. He would come after court and not leave until dawn. This had been the case for a month, and he seemed to care a lot about the young master living in the villa.
The maid Queyan was the only one who could see that young master. Because she always served with her head bowed, she looked up out of curiosity that day and was stunned when she saw the person on the bed.
The man sitting by the window wore a red robe with black cloud patterns on the sleeves. His long, black hair was loose and almost fell to the ground. Two strands of hair in front of his forehead were tied behind his ears with ribbons, revealing half of his perfect profile.
With her sharply defined features, long, willow-like eyebrows, long, slightly curled eyelashes, and captivating peach blossom eyes, adorned with a vermilion dot at the corner of each eye, she was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Who would have thought that the emaciated and frail patient, after recovering his health, would become such a stunningly beautiful person!
Queyan was stunned. The person turned his head slightly, his fair and slender fingers holding a pair of jade scissors, and was pruning the plum branches on the windowsill.
"What is it?" Geng Qi asked without turning his head.
Queyan was startled and quickly lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Young Master, His Highness sent word that there are matters to attend to at court today, and he will not be back until later."
"knew."
Geng Qi threw the pruned branch out the window, answered casually, and waved for people to leave.
Queyan glanced at the long chain trailing from his ankle, hesitated, then sighed softly and bowed as she withdrew.
After the door closed, the system's voice sounded in my mind:
"How do you do it?"
His host seems to have forgotten why he came here.
Geng Qi looked at the plum blossoms blooming in the snow in the courtyard, their crimson color like blood. A cool breeze blew in, and he shivered, gently closing the window and door. He smiled and said, "I think it's quite nice here. He gives me whatever I want, and I give him whatever he wants. It's as beautiful as a dream. Maybe one day he'll realize it's a dream and wake up on his own?"
Geng Qi pondered for a moment: "Is that so?"
system:
“Since it’s a dream, there will always be a time to wake up,” Geng Qi said. “The people in the palace should know about the Crown Prince’s departure by now, right?”
The Crown Prince is the center of attention, and his every move is scrutinized. He leaves the palace every day, and no matter how well he tries to conceal it, eventually, clues will be revealed, and it's only a matter of time before he is discovered.
Seeing that he understood, the system remained silent.
It was late afternoon when Rong Yu returned to his villa from the palace. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw a man standing under the plum tree, raising his hands to brush the snow that had fallen on the plum blossoms. The plum blossoms looked delicate and beautiful against the snow.
When his gaze fell on the slender, white wrist that was red from the cold, Rong Yu frowned slightly, immediately stepped forward, and took off his fox fur coat to put it on him: "Why did you come out dressed so lightly?"
Then, turning to the maidservant standing guard to the side, she said, "Queyan, you..."
"Why are you blaming her?" Geng Qi interrupted him, "If I don't want to wear more clothes, can she force me?"
"..." Rong Yu was speechless for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh. He pulled the fox fur coat tighter around him, glanced at his ankles hidden under the hem of the coat, and hesitated before saying, "It's cold outside, let's go back inside?"
Geng Qi glanced at him, patted his snow-covered hands, and naturally extended his hand to him: "Here."
Rong Yu was taken aback, somewhat confused.
Geng Qi said, "I don't want to leave."
"..."
Even Queyan couldn't help but look up curiously, but quickly lowered her head after a brief glance.
Rong Yu looked at the hand that was stretched out in front of him, his handsome face slightly reddened, and he nervously stepped forward, leaned down and picked the person up.
Seeing that the two were about to return to their room, Queyan suddenly said, "Your Highness, the hot water in the bath is ready. You can... take a bath now."
The hot water was prepared by the young master before she came out of the room. She assumed that the young master wanted to take a bath himself, but the current situation seemed to be beyond her expectations, and she was so surprised that she could not speak properly.
Rong Yu froze for a moment while holding the person, then forced himself to remain calm and said, "I understand, you can go now."
"yes."
After everyone left the courtyard, Rong Yu lowered his head and said, "You..."
Geng Qi stuffed his hands, which were red from the cold, into his neck and said innocently, "It's so cold."
