126 Heading Back
The boy raised his two little hands to hug BaiYing, the young man patted the little boyâs back with a smile.
âHehehehe XiaoKui smart boy, donât cry anymore okâ
AYa just averted her eyes, raised her arms crossed in front of her chest, this is very uncomfortable, if not for BaiYing she would not want to stand there, really troublesome.
BaiYing smiled seeing aYaâs face which did look very uncomfortable.
âHehehe aYaâ
.....
Shortly after the children came out of the front yard of the mayorâs residence.
BaiYing still couldnât keep the smile off his lips, it was really nice to see how cute the children came to the mayorâs residence to thank the Crown Prince and others for what the Crown Prince and others had done for this city, they were all grateful to have brought some dry food and homemade cakes for them as gifts, and nothing pleased BaiYing more when he saw the delicious food before his eyes.
AYa raised her hand to brush BaiYingâs front hair that was stuck to his forehead due to his sweat.
.....
âYouâre sweating Ying, itâs hot, isnât it?â
âYeah, itâs hot.â
The Crown Prince was already standing behind him.
âYou know itâs hot, then why did you leave the room? You werenât feeling well last night.â
He took BaiYingâs hand and led him towards the shady terrace of the house, the morning sun was indeed very bright.
âYour Highness is awake? Sorry I didnât wake you up, I couldnât bear to see Your Majesty so tired after a night of being awakeâ said BaiYing, he let the big hand pull him like a child, and sat him on the front seat at the bungalow with him.
âIs YingYing feeling better now?â asked LuoXiang feeling BaiYingâs forehead, the young man nodded with a big smile that made his two big eyes disappear.
âUm! Iâm back as fit as ever, ready for the trip back to the capital, Your Majesty neednât worry too much about me, heheâ
Hearing BaiYingâs excited voice made LuoXiang unable to contain his angry face and finally smiled, he flicked the young manâs forehead in exasperation.
âIch this kid, you know that Iâm worried but still doing all the stupid things alone, promise me you wonât disappear like that againâ
BaiYing pulled his lips, for a moment seeing the face of the Crown Prince who was so close to him, he pulled his hand slowly and hugged him, making LuoXiang stutter.
âYingYingâ
âIâm sorry, Iâve made Your Majesty anxious, for these couple days, Your Majestyâs face is always gloomy, does, Yingâerâs matter, is one that is a burden on Your Majestyâs mind? Yingâer who is so careless, and, always cause everyone in trouble.â
LuoXiang held his breath for a moment, he thought the boy wouldnât notice the change in his face, but, it was so obvious, his face that often thought about what was going on, as what the young dragon said. However, all of that only drained his energy, moreover made him look like a helpless Crown Prince, like what the dragon said, he was the Heavenly King, as the Heavenly King he could definitely get whatever he wanted, including his YingYing, So why would he worry so much about things that might not happen? As the dragon said, he should be able to cherish every second of his time with BaiYing by filling their lives with all the happiness he could think of.
The Crown Prince stepped forward, raised his hand to hold BaiYingâs head, and embraced him, lowering his head to kiss the young manâs crown.
âHeh Iâm just tired, itâs nothing, we will go back to the palace and enjoy our boring day again, thatâs better right?â
BaiYing nodded, a boring life suits him better, not fighting any serpents or dragons.
âYeah, thatâs more suitable for us, Iâm actually not willing to leave this city, but, everyone here can handle anything that happened during these decades, so, after this, they will become much better, they will definitely have a much better lifeâ he raised his two arms around the Crown Princeâs huge waist, while LuoXiang didnât stop stroking his hair and kissing it, very gently.
âAre you tired?â
BaiYing shook his head.
âNot tired, but, hehehe hungry, I havenât had breakfast yetâ
LuoXiang chuckled, he was very excited to see the young manâs face frown.
âHehehe this kid, instead of having breakfast first, letâs go in, the waiter must have cooked your favorite food, last night you didnât have time to enjoy the bamboo shoots made by the mayor, he said he would especially make it for lunch on the trip laterâ
BaiYingâs eyes opened wide hearing that, looked up to see LuoXiang with shining eyes.
âReally? Heâs very kind, Yingâer can ask for a lot right? Our journey back to the palace is quite a longâ
LuoXiang pulled BaiYingâs hand towards the door that the maid had opened.
âDonât take too much, it is not good for your stomach if you eat it every day, on the way, there will be many delicious restaurants, my YingYing will not starveâ
BaiYing smiled until his eyes disappeared, he was like a kitten asking to be petted by the Crown Prince.
âHehehehe Iâm getting hungrierâ
LuoXiang held BaiYingâs hand before he sat down on his chair, almost forgetting something.
âWait, here, there is a gift for my YingYing.â The Crown Prince took out something from under his clothes, something sparkling that made BaiYingâs eyes widen.
âWow, itâs so pretty.â
A shiny silver chain with small scale-like pendulums framed by silver-colored stones that matched the chain.
âThis is so beautiful? Where did Your Highness get it from?â
LuoXiang turned BaiYingâs body and put the necklace around his neck, the young man still couldnât stop admiring the beauty of the simple jewelry that looked quite luxurious, which was now hanging around his neck.
âThis is a gift from ErWang, especially for my YingYing.â
The Crown Prince turned the young man back to face him, seeing the fresh and dazzling face that had held his heart for a long time, completely.
âWow, this is so pretty, Your Majesty.â
âHey look at this kid, why are you so attractive?â
BaiYing raised his chin.
âIndeed I am, no need to say that again Your Majestyâ
AYa who followed the two in could only see how the two people in front of her really needed each other, the Crown Princeâs love for BaiYing, she could even see with the naked eye, everything around the two of them seemed to be blooming beautifully, she could feel it, that warm feeling, which she recently knew, as something it called the feeling of being in love, itâs very beautiful.
............
Klop Klop klop.
The sound of the golden carriage belonging to the Crown Princeâs entourage treading the small road connecting the city of DuAn, leaving the LiuYang valley plain which was now slowly changing for the better, one of the requests of the dragon ErWang that had been made to the Crown Prince, was for the people of LiuYang to build a tall, towering pagoda, so high to the sky as a place to rest once in a while, a pagoda that can reach the sky so that one day the dragon ErWang could ascend, and the mayor of ZhangYo agrees, how difficult is it to build a pagoda to honor a supernatural being who can provide welfare for all the people in the LiuYang valley and surrounding.
BaiYing parted the window blinds, his eyes flashed at the busy road they were currently on, all of them gave way to the group that looked very conspicuous through the city market that almost no official had passed before, many residents who passed by the group lowered their bodies to pay respects to the Crown Princeâs entourage who was famous for its big name, even the news of the settlement of the problem at the LiuYang Valley had been heard everywhere.
âLong live The Crown Prince! Bless the Crown Princeâ
LuoXiang who was sitting in the carriage trying to use his time to rest opened his eyes when BaiYingâs hand shook him.
âYour Majesty, I want to do some shopping, thereâs a lot of delicious food.â
âNo YingYing, weâll stop at the restaurant in a bit, donât buy random food on the street.â
BaiYingâs face was frowning, he was still holding LuoXiangâs sleeve.
âAch Your Majesty, but the food on the street looks delicious, come on, just for a while, okay?â
âYingYing donât be naughty, sit properly, after arriving at the restaurant we will go out for snacksâ
Hearing that BaiYing stopped his hand movements, he smiled wide look at the Crown Princeâs serious face.
âEm, Your Majesty is the best.â
âYou just know that? now sitting properly.â
âYes, Your Majesty.â
The carriage was moving slowly and steadily, the main street of the small town of DuAn was not so big that the large carriage group covered the road completely, the carriage was a bit swaying to make the curtains part occasionally, at a glance the Crown Prince could see the face of a girl who was so stubborn and decided to come with her back to SanPo, who else but princess aYa.
Before leaving this afternoon.
The Crown Prince had just turned his head after seeing his men prepare the carriage that was brought back from DuAn after being left there during the avalanche, and he saw Princess aYa approaching and stopping behind him.
âPrincess aYa, you havenât get back yet?â he asked, he was too lazy to make sort talk with the princess who irritated him a bit, but for BaiYingâs sake, he would try to open his heart.
Princess aYa lowered her head in salute in front of the Crown Prince.
âI sent aLu to return to Kili, aMi will come with meâ
The Crown Prince finally turned his body to face the girl, frowning at what the girl said.
âIt means?â
Aya raised her head.
âServant, will come with Your Majesty to the palace, if Your Highness the Crown Prince doesnât mind, I would like to stay longer, to confirm my feelings for Yingâerâ
Hearing those innocent words the Crown Prince smirked.
âHey, confirming feelings? Havenât you given up yet? YingYing is already mine, even if you confirm your feelings, then? What would you do?â
AYa looked into the Crown Princeâs eyes for a moment, then lowered her head back down.
âIâm sorry Your Majesty, but, this is my feeling, I hope Your Majesty can understand, how much I also donât want it, but, I can go crazy if itâs always like this, even though, I know, all this will be in vain, but, servant have plenty of time to confirm, I beg you, let me do it, just being near Yingâer is enough for me.â
The Crown Prince took a deep breath.
.....
Back in the carriage, he couldnât understand what was going on in the girlâs head, for sure, the girl was stubborn.
LuoXiangâs hands held BaiYingâs body sitting in front of him, holding his small waist close.
