Chapter 255: How come Your Highness the Prince has time to hang around a commoner like me?
Eastman's brain exploded.
Although he didn't know what he was hiding.
Perhaps he was mistaken for a commoner from the beginning, so after going with the flow, he was unwilling to overturn his previous acquiescence.
Perhaps, his father's resolute attitude taught Eastman a lesson that there was no possibility between a commoner and a prince.
Rather than giving up on his own, he was more worried that Xie would leave without hesitation after learning his identity.
Seeing Xie Si clearly having trouble breathing, he stood up straight in surprise and asked him his name in a deafening voice: "Isn't his name York?"
Eastman did not bother to reflect on himself. Faced with the possibility that his "beloved insect was about to escape", he almost desperately and recklessly accused Heras of being too harsh, hoping to make up for it.
This... is undoubtedly flattering the horse on the leg.
Xie Si's look at him changed from confusion to anger.
Even if Heras competed with him in public, every move he made was fierce, but Xie Si did not feel any resentment towards him.
For a moment, Eastman felt that they were the true love and he was just an intruder.
Seeing the situation going from Eastman helping Xie Si to blame Heras for the damage to Xie Si defending Heras, Eastman made a prompt decision, stepped forward in a few steps, and expressed his intention to challenge Heras in a duel.
This is clearly a case of using one's status as a prince to bully insects.
There's no way he could beat Heras.
Eastman made the harsh words, but he was still a little unsure, fearing that Heras would really accept his challenge.
Fortunately, Heras was sensible enough and did not really agree to it. Instead, he let Xie go.
Eastman stepped forward.
He picked up Xie handsomely and prepared to leave.
…So heavy!
Eastman raised his arms with difficulty and held the slightly uneasy female insect in his arms: "Don't move! I can't hold her anymore!"
Xie Si wanted to get out of Eastman's arms.
But Eastman refused and held the worm affectionately in his arms.
"General Xie's men should now know that you are a shy bug."
Even though Eastman's arms were already straining, it did not prevent him from laughing at Xie, whose face was flushed.
Normally, Xie Si's shyness was always calm, not like now, when she was a little overwhelmed and bewildered, and could only snuggle in his arms, her face gradually turning red.
The big bird was like a bug, and was unable to move after being teased by a few sweet words.
Eastman wished time would stop at this moment, the scenery was so picturesque.
But he couldn't move it. His body was used to it and he had never held an insect bigger than himself.
Once out of the bugs' sight, he let Xie Si go, shaking his overexerted arms and elbows and patting his suffering knees and legs.
Xie Si looked at him with some amusement.
You were just trying to be strong, but now you’re complaining about being tired.
Although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, he was not prepared to ask outside. After all, Eastman had just come out to protect him and his identity was exposed by Heras.
"Let me carry you back."
Although Xie Si had consumed a lot of energy in the fight with Heras, it was still easy for him to hold a male insect.
Eastman did not refuse, but silently thought about how to explain it.
When I returned to the house, the big knife above my head could not wait to fall down.
"Are you a prince?"
Including what he said just now, Xie Si has said "you" twice in a row.
For Eastman, these words were obviously an act of drawing a line in the sand, which was more painful than being suddenly called "York" by Xie Si in bed.
"Is it okay to be a prince? My real name is Eastman."
Eastman tried to solve the problem the old-fashioned way, but his outstretched hand was avoided.
"His Royal Highness Prince Isman..."
Xie Si wanted to say something, but was stopped by Eastman: "The prefix is so long. You called me the hero before, but now you are dissatisfied with me?"
As she said this, she tried to touch Xie's cheek, but was avoided.
"Isn't the prince even as valuable as the common people?"
Xie Si was not friendly with him: "How can Your Highness have the time to hang around a commoner like me?"
Xie Si didn't look very happy.
Although Eastman felt a little guilty, his original thought was that Xie would naturally like him more once he knew his identity.
Instead of being like now, with suspicion in his eyes, and distrust in his actions and expressions, it is obvious that he is hurt after being deceived.
"Thanks?"
"You're not angry anymore, are you?"
Eastman had never experienced being fooled, and at this moment he seemed a little restrained and at a loss.
As expected, Xie Si just shook his head: "Not angry."
