Chapter 66.2
She quietly glanced at Wen Chiâs hand gripping Shi Yeâs hair, her whole heart rose to her throat and even her breathing was a little uneven.
She admitted that Young Master Wen holds a certain amount of weight in His Highnessâs heart but no one in this world dares to pull His Highnessâs hair so hard. To be precise, many people who accidentally bump into His Highness donât even know how they died.
He may be His Royal Highness the Crown Princeâs favorite, but he may not tolerate such behaviors from Young Master Wen.
But soon, the servant girl realized that her worries were unnecessary.
Shi Ye didnât pay attention to his hair, he seemed to hesitate for a while, then bent down and put Wen Chi on the bed.
Unexpectedly, Wen Chi resisted breaking away from Shi Yeâs embrace, as soon as his back touched the bed, he struggled desperately, wrapped his arms around Shi Yeâs neck and kept pushing into Shi Yeâs embrace.
âNo, I donât want to sleep.â Wen Chi still didnât open his eyes, his voice was trembling, âI donât want to sleep.â
Shi Ye immediately hugged Wen Chi up.
Only then did Wen Chi become quieter. After the struggle just now, he was panting a bit.
Shi Ye looked down at Wen Chiâs extremely pale face and said lightly, âIf you donât want to sleep, you can lie down and rest.â
Wen Chi shook his head hastily, as if trying to avoid something: âI donât want to rest.â
Shi Ye asked: âThen what do you want?â
Wen Chi was silent for a while, his thin lips trembled and he said softly: âI want you to just hold me like this â¦â¦â
After saying that, he leaned into Shi Yeâs arms again like a small animal, wishing he could stick to Shi Ye. It wasnât enough for him to bury his face on Shi Yeâs chest so he climbed up Shi Yeâs neck and buried his face in Shi Yeâs warm neck.
Before, Wen Chi could only vaguely smell Shi Yeâs scent through his clothes but now his face was directly attached to Shi Yeâs skin and in an instant, his entire sensory world was enveloped by the faint fragrance of Shi Yeâs body .
Shi Ye has always had a very faint sandalwood fragrance on his body.
The strange thing is that ever since Wen Chi fell off the eaves of the palace, he could smell aromas other than sandalwood from Shi Yeâs body, like a faint floral fragrance, or a faint herbal fragrance, with the fragrance in his hair and on his skin being slightly stronger.
Wen Chi was addicted to this aroma and even felt an unprecedented sense of security.
âShi Ye.â Wen Chi said, âYou smell so good.â
When Shi Ye heard this, his eyes suddenly sank. Wen Chiâs words brought back some bad memories and he inclined his head, âZuo Zhi.â
Zuo Zhi beside him immediately said, âYes.â
Shi Ye ordered: âGo get a basin of hot water and prepare some food.â
Zuo Zhi said: âYes.â
After Zuo Zhi went out, Shi Ye still put Wen Chi on the bed. After Wen Chi noticed Shi Yeâs movements, he still struggled as hard as before and also tried his best to get into Shi Yeâs arms.
Itâs a pity that Shi Ye was unmoved, he climbed onto the bed, pressed on top of Wen Chi and bound Wen Chiâs hands above his head.
Wen Chiâs strength was not as strong as Shi Yeâs, so no matter how hard he struggled, he was like fish on a chopping board and could only be slaughtered.
He was anxious in his heart, so he raised his legs to kick Shi Ye recklessly and ended up kicking Shi Ye in the calf, and he heard Shi Yeâs breath instantly get a little heavier.
Shi Ye said in a deep voice, âWen Chi!â
Wen Chi was startled suddenly, for some reason, he was half awake for a while, he slowly opened his eyes,and saw Shi Ye looking down at him from above with a sullen expression.
âIâ¦â Wen Chi said with difficulty, âWhatâs wrong with me?â
Shi Yeâs eyes were dark, as if there were candle lights dancing inside, he looked at Wen Chi fixedly, until he was sure that Wen Chi was awake, then he let go of the hands that bound Wen Chi and turned to caress Wen Chiâs cold cheek :âAre you hungry?â
Wen Chi shook his head: âWhat happened to me just now?â
Shi Ye said, âNothing.â
Wen Chi knew that Shi Ye wasnât telling the truth, he could sense his strangeness, as if he had been possessed by something just now, he couldnât control his words and deeds, he could only instinctively rely on Shi Ye, get close to Shi Ye⦠â¦
And this happened once not long ago, when he accidentally fell from the eaves of the palace.
Intuition told Wen Chi that it might be Shi Yeâs physique that caused him to undergo these inexplicable changes, at least before these changes happened to him, he could not smell the faint fragrance from Shi Yeâs body.
But he canât think so much now, the bloody images are repeated in his mind â when Liu Da De and Liu Da Shan killed the others, when Shi Ye killedâ¦
He knew that if he hadnât been rescued by Shi Ye, perhaps what awaited him wouldnât have been much better than those people.
It was the first time he saw so many dead people and it was also the first time he smelled such a strong smell of blood, as if even the air was filled with the wet smell of blood.
Wen Chiâs eyes were red and his eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to keep calm these days. He thought he could face death head on but it wasnât until Shi Ye came that he realized that he was very afraid of death.
Especially when the kidnapper pulled his hair from behind, the fear that was suppressed in his heart overwhelmed him in an instant.
Wen Chi blinked, tears overflowed from his eyes, slid down the corners and wet the white pillow cover one after another.
âI thought I was going to die.â Wen Chi reached out to hug Shi Yeâs neck but Shi Ye turned his head to avoid it but Wen Chi did not give up and grabbed the clothes on Shi Yeâs chest with his hand. He choked up in a low voice, âIf you hadnât come, I would have died.â
Shi Ye let Wen Chi grab his clothes and he wiped away the tears from the corners of Wen Chiâs eyes with his thumb: âBack then, when Bengong gave you the chance, you chose to leave, you would rather come to this barbaric land and hide from this Bengong.â
âI regret it, Shi Ye, I want to go back.â Wen Chiâs tears became more and more wanton, his face was flushed from crying, his shoulders twitched, he let go of Shi Yeâs clothes and lifted his arms to wrap around Shi Yeâs neck again.
But it was still avoided by Shi Ye.
âYouâre not awake yet, youâll be fine after a good sleep.â It seemed that Shi Ye did not want to see Wen Chiâs tear-stained face, so he turned his head, pulled the quilt from the bed and covered Wen Chiâs face without saying a word.
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
Shi Ye got up and was about to get out of bed.
Wen Chi dazedly understood that Shi Ye thought he was still mesmerized by the wisp of fragrance to do these actions, he was instantly a little angry, fiercely ripped away the bedding covering his face, got up from the bed on his hands and knees, and jumped onto Shi Yeâs back.
