[Chapter 26, Chapter 353: The Princess and the Young Tyrant 8]
Xie Jin seemed to be trying to brainwash her.
As soon as he left her lips, he would bury his head in her ear and stubbornly tell her that he loved her.
Wen Shinian was taken advantage of, but his final defense was never broken through.
Xie Jin, still enduring.
Wen Shinian's suppressed tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
My inner voice screams: Hurry up, force it! No mercy! Just do it!
Unfortunately, Xie Jin couldn't hear her inner thoughts.
After meeting her several times, the boy, who was always strong, stopped all his movements after catching a glimpse of her tear.
He was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head and gently kissed away the tear. His movements were gentle and apologetic.
"I'm sorry, I..."
The boy's already hoarse voice became even drier, like an old bellows, pale and weak.
Wen Shinian didn't say anything. Xie Jin's eyes were dim, and the courage he had mustered tonight was completely exhausted.
He hung his head in frustration and planned to try again tomorrow.
Just as I was about to leave, someone grabbed my wrist.
Xie Jin paused, and when he looked back, there was a hope in his eyes that he himself didn't even know was there.
Wen Shinian's eyes were red and accusing.
"After treating me like this, you want to leave like this?"
"I'm not. I just want to come back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? I'll give it to you tomorrow?"
"Then the day after tomorrow."
“…”
Wen Shinian pursed her lips, amused by the naivety he unintentionally revealed.
She turned her head away to hide her smile, but the boy who had been staring at her saw it early on.
Xie Jin's eyes lit up and he immediately crawled back quickly.
"So, you're willing?"
"...If you don't want to, get out."
"No! You do!"
Xie Jin automatically ignored the words after the ellipsis and clearly saw the shyness in Wen Shinian's eyes.
Suddenly, the situation took a turn for the better and spring came again.
Xie Jin pounces on his prey like a tiger.
…
Dark clouds cover the moon, and fireflies chase it.
One of the fireflies was tired of flying, so it randomly landed on a fragile flower bud in the garden.
The buds could not bear the weight and the petals sank.
The firefly sinks head first.
It struggled, its butt moving left and right.
The originally tightly closed bud was slightly opened by the firefly's struggle.
This time, half of the firefly's head went in.
The relaxed flower bud slowly and slowly swallowed the fireflies in the following period of time.
Until the whole insect is completely wrapped.
………
The strong wind blew, and the flowers and leaves in the garden swayed continuously.
Fireflies hide in the flower buds. As the strong wind blows past, the fireflies will occasionally reveal part of their bodies from the flower buds.
In order to avoid being blown away, it holds on to the pistil tightly, and no matter how strong the wind blows, its upper body remains buried in the bud.
…………
It was dawn, and Xie Jin's breathing became calm and disordered.
He looked up at the whitened window.
Quickly turn over and get out of bed.
After a while, he came in carefully carrying warm water, not knowing where he got it from. After wiping the unconscious Wen Shinian clean, he left quietly.
When leaving, the window was opened a crack.
Fresh air poured into the room, blowing away the ambiguous smell in the house.
"Princess, is it time to get up?"
Less than a moment after leaving, Xiao Cai appeared at the door.
She knocked on the door gently and called out to the person inside.
The room was silent, and there was no response.
Xiao Cai knocked a second time, and after receiving the same quiet response, she scratched her head in confusion.
She didn't continue, nor did she push the door in rashly.
Things are different now. They don’t need to greet anyone, so they don’t need to get up on time.
Wen Shinian would occasionally get up late, so Xiao Cai didn't suspect too much and turned to go to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast.
After the yard was cleaned up, there were only the two of them, master and servant, in the courtyard.
On weekdays, no one comes to disturb us.
Every day I just eat and sleep, and occasionally tend to the flowers.
This is much more comfortable than the days of fear in Wen State.
It's just too comfortable and loose, Xiao Cai even feels like she's become lazy.
She quickly prepared breakfast and went to the garden to loosen the soil and water the plants.
After finishing, I felt that the yard was a bit dirty, so I went to find tools to clean the yard.
Time passed slowly and the sun climbed to the highest point in the sky.
Xiao Cai was sitting on the swing in a daze, bored, holding her screaming stomach.
I’m so hungry. Did the princess sleep too long today?
Xiao Cai realized belatedly that something was wrong.
Did something happen to the princess?!
She stood up suddenly, not caring about the dizziness from not having eaten breakfast and standing up suddenly, and staggered like a drunk as she ran to Wen Shinian's door.
"Princess? Princess! This servant is coming in!"
Fearing that going in directly would be too rash, Xiao Cai maintained her composure and knocked on the door.
When she still received no response, she pushed the door open.
When he trotted into the room and saw Wen Shinian still sleeping in bed, his tense expression relaxed a little.
"Princess?!"
Xiao Cai trotted to the bedside and gently called Wen Shinian.
Wen Shinian frowned in his sleep and changed his lying position.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Cai finally felt relieved.
Fortunately, I just slept too deeply and nothing happened.
"Princess, it's almost noon. Would you like to get up and have dinner before going back to sleep?"
Wen Shinian was quiet for a few seconds, then turned around and opened his eyes with difficulty.
"Xiao Cai, you go ahead and use it. I was so engrossed in reading a storybook yesterday that I didn't sleep the whole night. Call me later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Shinian fell asleep.
Xiao Cai looked at the dark circles under her eyes and believed her explanation.
She said nothing more and considerately tucked the quilt in for Wen Shinian.
In the middle of the process, he caught a glimpse of the marks on Wen Shinian's neck and squinted his eyes to take a closer look.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the mark seemed bigger and darker than yesterday.
Xiao Cai frowned and walked out of the room carefully.
After leaving the room, Xiao Cai did not go to eat immediately.
She trotted out of the yard, found the housekeeper, and asked him to buy ointment.
After the housekeeper agreed, she quickly ran back to the yard, fearing that the master would call her during this time.
She tiptoed back to the room and saw Wen Shinian still lying there, so she closed the door and left with peace of mind.
As soon as the door closed, a dark shadow slowly walked out from the end of the bed.
Xie Jin, holding a food box in his hand, glanced at the closed door, then walked to the bed and carefully helped the sleeping Wen Shinian up.
"Stop it! I'm tired!"
Wen Shinian impatiently hit Xie Jin's chest with his head.
After a sleepless night, her mind was foggy and she didn't even think about maintaining her persona.
This act, mixed with coquettishness, made Xie Jin's eyes brighten up again and again.
He subconsciously lowered his voice to coax her, but the voice that came out was not only gentle but also had an unpleasant hoarseness that lingered.
"It's almost noon, get up and eat something first."
After saying that, Xie Jin immediately shut his mouth.
He wanted to say more, but his voice...
Xie Jin pursed his lips and his expression became complicated.
There is inferiority and resentment...
The cheerful mood just now suddenly became depressed.
Xie Jin's hand on Wen Shinian's arm tightened silently.
"pain……"
At this time, the person in his arms rubbed against him twice.
Xie Jin came to his senses and immediately let go of Wen Shinian's hand.
The ice in his eyes disappeared, leaving only warmth.
"Sorry, I won't do that again next time."
