âYour Highness, when will you return with us?â
âYour Highness, Her Majesty the Empress said if we canât make you return, we shouldnât return either.â
âYour Highness⦠Your Highness, please donât close the door!â
âYour Highness!â
Chuzheng turned around and picked up something from Fang Shengâs hand, hurling it directly at the person preparing to climb over the wall.
The person who hadnât climbed over the wall yet ducked with a yelp, shrinking their head down.
Just as they felt relieved to have dodged the attack, they looked up to find something even larger flying towards them.
Fang Sheng: ââ¦â What Miss Jun just threw was a priceless treasure!! Can I still retrieve it?!
After hitting someone, Chuzheng exuded a fierce aura all over.
Your Highness, Your Highness! Who is Your Highness!
How could she possibly be below!
Pah!
Theyâve been told hundreds of times, sheâs not Chu Yingyu, yet these people are relentless, coming to hassle her every day.
The manâs light laughter rang out, and Chuzhengâs expression became restrained as she looked over with an impassive face.
The man stood under the eaves, his red clothes fiery, his face as bright as the moon, and with a hooked smile, he was a stunning sight.
âWhat are you laughing at?â
âNothing,â Xie Shu reined in his smile, shook his head obediently, and blinked his eyes gently, trying to look as innocent as possible.
âHmm?â
The womanâs expression was cold, and even that âhmmâ sounded chillingly menacing.
âItâs justâ¦I was thinking about the first time I met you.â
Chuzheng walked towards him, leaning on the column behind him with one hand: âWhat about me?â
Xie Shu was pinned against the pillar by Chuzheng, her familiar scent invading him, and as he lowered his gaze, he could see Chuzhengâs slender neck.
Beneath the collar of her clothing, her skin was pale and delicate.
Vague traces were still visible on it.
Xie Shu suddenly averted his gaze: âBack then, you suddenly changed, and were just as fierceâ¦â
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
Fierce?
The Good Person Card actually called me fierce!
Where was I fierce!
Havenât I been good to him?
Xie Shu felt that the aura emanating from Chuzheng was fierce, and it was directed at himâ¦
âChuzhengâ¦â
âMhm.â
Xie Shu found the face before him suddenly looming closer, and his words were stuffed back into his mouth as he instinctively scanned the surroundings to find that the people who had been around just now had vanished.
Xie Shuâs body slid down slightly, and Chuzheng steadied him.
âI only kissed you for a bit,â Chuzheng expressed her dissatisfaction: âAre you that weak?â
Why is the Good Person Card getting weaker and weaker?
Xie Shu: ââ¦â
Xie Shuâs pale cheeks were tinged with a blush, making him appear even more enticing.
Chuzheng picked him up horizontally and walked towards the room.
âWhat are you doing?â
âTaking you back to rest,â Chuzheng said seriously: âWhat do you think I was going to do?â
Xie Shu: ââ¦â
Who knows what you might do?
Acting on your thoughts without restraint.
âHavenât you been eating properly recently?â Youâre lighter than before. No, you need to eat more.
âIâve been eating well.â
Xie Shu replied in a low voice.
Chuzheng placed him on the roomâs soft couch: âIs that so.â
She didnât believe it at all.
Chuzheng covered him up, but Xie Shu caught her hand, not letting her leave: âWill you stay with me?â
âIâm going to get you something to eat,â Chuzheng replied: âBe good.â
âI donât want to eat; I just want you to be with me,â Xie Shu suddenly acted like a petulant child.
Chuzheng was utterly unmoved: âIâll be with you in a bit.â
Ignoring Xie Shuâs reaction, Chuzheng pulled her hand away and left the room to bring back some snacks.
The soft couch was spacious. Chuzheng laid beside him, embracing him and feeding him the sweets.
The pastry touched Xie Shuâs soft lips, but he turned his head away.
âBe good,â Chuzhengâs voice was low, sounding less cold, as if she was coaxing him.
Xie Shu instinctively opened his mouth, and Chuzheng fed the pastry into it.
âIf you had woken up even a little later at that time, I would have really killed you,â Xie Shu suddenly said.
ââ¦â But I did actually kill you once.
Thatâs something I donât need to tell the Good Person Card.
What if he no longer thinks Iâm a good person?
I canât let the Good Person Card hate me.
At the bottom of her heart, Chuzheng was a bit puzzled, seemingly not understanding why she couldnât let the Good Person Card hate her, but thatâs what she thoughtâ¦
If the Good Person Card hates me, then he wonât think Iâm a good person anymore!
Chuzheng quickly found a reason for herself.
âYouâre different from Chu Yingyu,â Xie Shu kept talking, âI noticed it back then, but I wasnât sure if it was intentional or not.â
Suddenly, Chuzheng pinched his chin, and Xie Shu paused mid-sentence.
âDid Chu Yingyu touch you?â
Xie Shuâs gaze met Chuzhengâs in midair.
There was a coldness in her eyes, like the great snow of Dongyuan.
Xie Shu suddenly laughed, âSo what if she touched me?â
âNo big deal.â Iâll tear her apart piece by piece to apologize to you.
Chuzheng let go of him and leisurely straightened his clothes, âSo did she touch you or not?â
Xie Shu leaned in close to her, with the sweet scent of the pastry, âBoth my body and heart have only been touched by you.â
Chu Yingyu indeed wanted to touch him, but after being aggressively threatened by him a few times, Chu Yingyu dared not do anything to him.
âI havenât touched your heart.â Donât talk nonsense, your heart is beating inside your body! Itâd be too bloody if I touched it.
âHow have you not?â Xie Shu frowned, his whole heart belonged to her, and yet she denied it?
âI havenât!â Youâre talking rubbish!
âYou have.â
âI havenât!â
âYou have.â
âI havenât!â
âYouâ¦â Xie Shu was pinned down on the soft couch by Chuzheng, the pastry blocking his lips, he pushed it out with his tongue, feeling wronged and angry.
You canât shut me up with pastry so rudely if Iâm not admitting it!!
But suddenly, Chuzheng leaned down and pushed the pastry back in.
Xie Shu was kissed until he was dizzy and completely forgot to question Chuzheng.
He felt uncomfortable, âChuzhengâ¦â
âNo,â Chuzheng covered him, seriously refusing, âYour body needs to recover.â
ââ¦â
Then donât kiss me!
Bastard!
Xie Shu was quite angry, but he was still uncomfortable, his gaze hazy, with a faint panting.
Chuzheng held him while Xie Shu bit her neck, his breathing becoming heavier by the second, the room filled with an ambiguous air.
After Xie Shu had calmed down, Chuzheng changed him into a new set of clothes.
Xie Shu was like an obedient little doll.
âDo you still feel uncomfortable?â Chuzheng asked him.
âStay away from me,â Xie Shu said sullenly.
If youâre not going to⦠then why kiss me!
Chuzheng draped a coat over him, âIâll be outside, call me if you need anything.â
Xie Shu nodded. He really needed some quiet time. With her here, he would lose control very soon.
As Chuzheng reached the door, Xie Shu suddenly spoke up, âDonât go out, just stand there, I want to look at you.â
Chuzheng: ââ¦â
Are all men this fickle?
Chuzheng opened the door and moved a rocking chair to lie in.
It wasnât crowded with just one.
Comfortable.
Lie however you want.
Chuzheng reached into her embrace contentedlyâ¦
Whereâs my âLittle Mouseâ!!
