Chapter 680: Chapter 680 - 680 Are We Back?

680 Are We Back?

The cheerful sound of birds chirping, followed by the heat of the morning sun broke through into the curtains that blew softly. A cold breeze came from the sidelines of the vents and slide into the room, carrying the refreshing smell of grass and dew from the Pai Hua valley with him.

Morning came quickly. Slowly, Bai Ying opened his eyes. A pair of big round light brown eyes with curly eyelashes blinked a few times. Trying to clear his vision the moment he opened it. The delicately fluttering curtains, the decorations on the bed, the smells, the soft touch sheet on his hand, all of that, was so familiar to him.

“Your Highness, watch out!”

He can still hear the bang and scream in his head. After that, everything went dark, what happened?

Slowly, Bai Ying shifted his shoulders, his body didn’t feel so good, and he was drenched from his own sweat. His head was unbelievably heavy, his throat sore and very dry. And that room. Bai Ying opened his eyes wide to see a room he was very familiar with, this was his own room in Xin Hua palace, in his Plum villa. Did they already out of the world in memory coins?

Bai Ying held onto the bedpost, his body was very limp, was it because of the effect of that attack? Then, what about the Crown Prince and the others? How cant he remember anything?

“Ouh” his headache was so bad.

He raised his head when he heard the sound of the door being opened from outside.

“Sreet”

.....

His eyes widened to see who had entered and approached him.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang came in carrying a tray with bowls of congee and medicine on it. He placed the tray on the table and approached Bai Ying. He immediately supported Bai Ying’s weak body who almost fell off the bed.

“Ying Ying, what are you doing? Don’t get up yet”

Bai Ying held Luo Xiang’s hand that was about to help him lie down, he looks at thoroughly at the young man’s face and body.

“Your Highness, Your Highness is alright? Is there any part that hurts?” he asked.

Luo Xiang smiled. He held Bai Ying’s cheek with his broad palm”

“Silly kid, of course, I’m fine, see, instead you should be worried about yourself. Come here, lie down, be careful,” said the Crown Prince gently helping the young man lower his body half lying on the bed.

Bai Ying was still confused. Had he been unconscious for that long? What about the attack?

“What happened, Your Highness, who are they? Did Your Highness, and the others managed to defeat them?”

Luo Xiang lifted the bowl of congee and stirred it, blowing it to reduce the heat that was still visible from the congee that the maid had just prepared.

“Who do you mean?” asked Luo Xiang.

“Em..” Bai Ying was about to answer when Luo Xiang thrust a spoon of congee in front of his mouth.

“Here, open your mouth, slowly”

Bai Ying complied, though he pulled back his head when he felt that the porridge was still too hot for him.

“Ah, it’s still hot, Your Highness”

Luo Xiang blew the spoon with the porridge back. Tried it with the tips of his lips.

“Em, it’s warm, come on, or do you need to eat it from big brother’s mouth?”

Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince’s hand away.

“Your Highness, that’s disgusting”

Luo Xiang chuckled.

“Hehe, come on, open your mouth, finish this, and after that take the medicine okay”

Bai Ying pulled his lips and nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty”

Even though he was still confused about what happened, he would not really care about it, the important thing was that he is now with the Crown Prince, in his room.

“Look at this, how can you eat messy like this” Luo Xiang said looking at the remaining porridge at the corner of Bai Ying’s lips.

Bai Ying was about to raise his hand and clean it, but Luo Xiang stop his hand.

“Hold on, just let me” he held Bai Ying’s hand gently, moved his head forward, and kissed Bai Ying’s lips. Picked up the rest of the porridge with his lips.

Bai Ying’s eyes widened. How can the Crown Prince take a chance at such a time?

“Umm”

Luo Xiang smiled. Wiping his lips enjoyed the gruel from Bai Ying’s lips which turned out to taste much better than the porridge in the bowl.

“Hehe, so sweet, why does my Ying Ying lips always this delicious?”

Bai Ying pursed his mouth. The Crown Prince’s pair of big eyes were indeed staring at him as if he was part of a very delicious meal.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang laughed, unable to bear to see Bai Ying’s cute face which grew even cuter as he scrunched up in annoyance like that.

“Hehehe this sweet kid” Luo Xiang’s big hand gently caressed Bai Ying’s cheek to clean up the leftovers. In the end, he again couldn’t hold himself back and squeezed Bai Ying’s cheek.

“Ich this brat”

“Brother Xiang Xiang!”

Not long after, the porridge finally ran out too. Of course, because the Crown Prince patiently fed him to the end even though Bai Ying didn’t even want to.

“Come on, now drink your medicine, this is a concoction from the royal physician, you have to finish it”

Bai Ying turned his head as Luo Xiang thrust a ladle filled with pitch-black liquid in front of his mouth.

“Em, I don’t want it, Your Majesty, it looks like it is very bitter”

Luo Xiang lowered Bai Ying’s hand that was covering his mouth.

“This brat, if you don’t drink how will you recover, come on, don’t argue, how about this, drink it in one large gulp so the bitterness won’t be tasted too bad”

“It’s the same, Your Majesty, from the smell alone it is very bitter. I don’t want it”

“Not a chance, come on, open your mouth, or else big brother will drink it and put it in your mouth by force.”

Bai Ying tried to dodge.

“No, I don’t want it!”

The sound of commotion in the room attracted the attention of anyone outside. It was Chen Ming who entered quickly.

“Hey rotten Crown Prince, what are you doing? My brother is very sick now, why do you keep forcing him?”

Luo Xiang only pursed his lips, not caring about Chen Ming screaming behind him. Bei Yau was trying to restrain him.

“Prince Chen, eh” though he didn’t dare to touch him.

Bai Ying was slightly amused by the commotion, and in an instant the room became lively.

“Hey”

“Don’t ignore me, you Rotten egg!”

Luo Xiang really dint care and kept on shoving the medicine back at Bai Ying.

“Come on my Ying Ying, open your mouth, my dear”

Bai Ying shut his mouth tightly.

“No, Your Majesty”

Soon after that. The atmosphere finally calmed down. Despite all the struggle, finally, the Crown Prince succeeded in persuading Bai Ying to finish the medicine. It was seen that the empty small bowl was already on the tray, soon the maids will come in and clean it.

Bai Ying turned to see his maids, Yan and Bi who came in and brought a basin of hot water for herself to rinse. Bai Ying was very weak, his chest hurt uncontrollably and occasionally it was difficult to catch his breath, maybe it was a reaction from whatever attack happened that made him helpless now.

The maids excused themselves from the room. Leaving Luo Xiang and Bai Ying alone in there.

Slowly, very gently, Luo Xiang helped Bai Ying take off his top, and lowered it off his shoulders, exposing his smooth chest and back, bare without his clothes.

Bai Ying held the Crown Prince’s hand.

“Your Highness, don’t. Just let sister Yan and sister Bi helped me to wash. Your Highness is a Crown Prince, a future Emperor, you shouldn’t use your precious hand to serve me, it’s unappropriated.”

Luo Xiang looked into Bai Ying’s eyes for a long time, took Bai Ying’s hand away from him, and gripped it tightly.

“For my Ying Ying, this is very appropriate, in fact, my hands are not necessarily worthy enough of touching you” he lowered his head kissing those hands one by one.

Bai Ying was at a loss for words, the faint glow in the Crown Prince’s eyes was now much brighter than he normally saw him. As if he could see very clearly how the love that floated above his head, his love, for him.

“Your Majesty”

Luo Xiang grabbed the cloth that had been soaked in hot water, squeezed it, and use it to touch Bai Ying’s cheek.

Bai Ying’s eyes widened, the cloth was very hot, so what about the Crown Prince’s hand who was holding it?

“Your Majesty, your hands” he held the two large hands stopping him from moving.

.....

“Look, it’s turning red like this”

Luo Xiang smiled. He helped Bai Ying lower his body leaning back.

“It’s nothing, just hot water. Did my Ying Ying forget that your formidable brother of yours can fight even hot flames, not to mention just hot water”
