Mu Mingtang didnât pay attention to what kind of bun she wore today. She rested on the dressing table with one hand and fell asleep accidentally. When she woke up again, she found that there were no sounds around her and the servant who was dressing up behind her had long since disappeared. In fact, there wasnât a single servant in the whole room.
Xie Xuanchen was sitting beside her, playing with the tassel on her hair. He saw her open her eyes and smiled, âAre you awake?â
As soon as Mu Mingtang saw him, she became angry. She changed the direction her head was looking at and closed her eyes, completely ignoring him.
Xie Xuanchen didnât think it was particularly disobedient and skillfully switched to the other side, asking, âAre you really still sleepy? Can you fall asleep even when Iâm combing your hair?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWouldnât you know the reason why I slept so long last night and why my hair is this tangled?â
Xie Xuanchen was speechless as he gently wrapped his arms around Mu Mingtangâs waist and asked, âAre you still tired?â
Mu Mingtang closed her eyes and didnât want to talk to him. Xie Xuanchen felt wrongedâ he really couldnât be blamed for it, itâs just that Mu Mingtang needed to exercise more. He was almost coaxing her as he said, âOkay, blame me. Eat first and then go back to sleep for a while. If you canât fall asleep, I can accompany you.â
âNo need,â Mu Mingtang firmly vetoed, âI can sleep and I will go by myself.â
âHow can I let you do so?â Xie Xuanchen refused righteously, âI remember that I dragged you to accompany me when I was sleepy last time and now, itâs you who need to make up for lost sleep. How can I not repay you? Letâs go back to sleep later and eat now. Ah, if you are too sleepy to walk now, I will carry you. â
Mu Mingtang was half-angry as she laughed. She opened her eyes and pushed his hand, âStop trying, let go!â
When Xie Xuanchen saw her, he wanted to carry her even more. The tassel on Mu Mingtangâs bun was loosened by Xie Xuanchen just now. As Mu Mingtang hid back, the tassel was now dangling precariously. The two of them were playing around when they suddenly heard the servant girl reporting outside, âYour Highnesses, Prince Jin, Princess Jin and the Concubine are all here.â
After she finished speaking, the tassel finally couldnât take it anymore and fell to the ground with a click. Mu Mingtang frowned and muttered to herself, âWhat are they here for?â
Xie Xuanchen ignored the servant girl, picked up the tassel hairpin and inserted it into Mu Mingtangâs hair again, âNever mind them, I wonât grant them an audienceâ
