Chapter 67.1
Wen Chi felt like a koala with his whole body hanging onto Shi Ye.
Shi Ye was obviously stunned and instantly froze.
Seeing this, Wen Chi immediately climbed up, stretched out his hands to wrap his arms around Shi Yeâs neck and parted his legs to clamp it around Shi Yeâs waist from behind, even trying to rub against him, in a manner that he would not let go.
Shi Ye struggled a bit.
Wen Chi was afraid of being thrown off by Shi Ye, so he quickly tightened his grip on Shi Ye.
Shi Ye was quiet for a while and then said in a hoarse voice: âLet go.â
Wen Chi didnât let go, leaned into Shi Yeâs ear and asked, âShi Ye, where are you going?â
Shi Ye said, âGoing out.â
If he was still in the Eastern Palace, Wen Chi would have liked Shi Ye to stay away from him but they were not in the Eastern Palace, they were in Jinzhou, which was far away from the capital.
Wen Chi is unfamiliar with the place here and even just came back from a trip from hellâ¦
God knows, when he heard Shi Yeâs familiar voice and saw Shi Yeâs familiar face, he thought he was hallucinating before he died.
Shouldnât Shi Ye be staying comfortably in the Eastern Palace?
Why did Shi Ye come to Jinzhou?
That unbelievable feeling lingered in Wen Chiâs heart like a mist that could not be dispelled. He was afraid that Shi Ye would never come back after he left and that Shi Yeâs appearance was really his hallucination.
He thought he might have a fledgling mentality, but he couldnât get rid of this mentality.
He was too scared.
He was even more afraid of being left behind by Shi Ye.
âShi Ye, donât leave, okay? I donât want to stay here alone.â Wen Chi didnât even care about losing his face, he wiped his tears on Shi Yeâs clothes and begged softly, âIâm scared.â
Shi Ye wanted to leave but couldnât and it took him a long time before he said coldly: âYou left in such a hurry, now you know youâre afraid?â
Wen Chi guessed that Shi Ye would not be angry with him, so he became more confident, buried his face in Shi Yeâs ear and said while sobbing: âIf I had known that I would be kidnapped, I would not have come.â
Shi Ye said coldly: âThere is no such thing as knowing earlier.â
Wen Chi looked up and saw Shi Yeâs face was tense and suddenly remembered Liu Da De and Liu Da Shan brothers who had been kind to him for no reason and suddenly understood something: âBy the way, Brother Da De and Brother Da Shan belong to you, right? â
Shi Ye was silent for a moment, then sneered: âItâs only been a few days and youâre already so familiar with them?â
ââ¦â Wen Chi seemed to catch a whiff of vinegar 1(Jealous) and hastily added with a plea for survival, âI talked with Liu Da De and Liu Da Shan, they were quite nice to me and I wondered how there could be such a nice talking kidnapper. â
Shi Ye said: âThey are Bengongâs people.â
Wen Chi asked strangely: âYour people are also moonlighting as kidnappers?â
Shi Ye fell silent again, and when he spoke again, his voice had a bit of gnashing of teeth: âDo you think the kidnappers can work by Bengongâs side? If it werenât for you, an idiot, who ran to find that surnamed Hua, how could Bengong let the people around you become kidnappers and sneak in?â
Wen Chi automatically ignored Shi Yeâs word âidiotâ. He raised his head abruptly, opened his almond-shaped eyes and stared at Shi Ye with piercing eyes. He couldnât suppress the joy welling up in his heart.
âThenâ¦â Wen Chi looked at Shi Yeâs fluffy face illuminated by the candle and said cautiously, âYou followed me to Jinzhou?â
Otherwise, how could Shi Ye know his behavior well, even know that he went to see Hua Zi Zang at night.
Unfortunately, before Shi Ye could answer, there was a knock on the door.
âYour Royal Highness.â Zuo Zhiâs voice came from outside the door, âThis servant brought some hot water.â
Shi Ye said, âCome in.â
Zuo Zhi freed up a hand, pushed the door open and entered.
She lowered her head, walked straight to the bed and put the basin filled with hot water and placed a handkerchief on the wooden stand beside the bed, then she clapped her hands, and the maidservants waiting outside immediately brought in food and put the dishes on the table in an orderly manner.
Zuo Zhi ordered: âYou all step back.â
Several servant girls answered in unison, greeted Shi Ye and then retreated without a sound.
