Chapter 48.1
The chilly night wind blew on Wen Chiâs face, perhaps because it was still spring, the breeze did not make him cold but rather it was very refreshing.
But what made Wen Chi very displeased was that his acupuncture points have been tapped and only his pair of eyes can still move around.
So, it is also very difficult to turnâ¦
Because the man holding him moved extremely fast, almost flying around on the eaves of the palace roofs, like a night bird, as long as Wen Chi opened his eyes a little bit, he would feel the cool wind pouring into his eyes.
Originally, Wen Chi wanted to see the manâs face clearly but the wind was too strong for him to do that.
He opened his eyes and watched for a long time but he could only see a blurred face outline but his eyes hurt because of the wind and tears kept coming out from the corners of his eyes.
Later, Wen Chi gave up.
He closed his eyes and layed very peacefully in the manâs arms.
He didnât know how long it took, the cool wind made Wen Chi feel drowsy again and the very faint wisp of sandalwood kept drilling into his nose along with the night wind.
It was not until the man seemed to be carrying him inside somewhere that the sound of the wind in his ears gradually weakened.
Just as Wen Chi was about to open his eyes, he suddenly felt his body plummeting down.
Before he could react, he felt warm water rushing from all directions, scrambling to get into his mouth and nose.
A strong sense of suffocation overcame him, instantly sucking away all the air that Wen Chi could breathe.
âAhâ¦â Wen Chi waved his hands and feet desperately, âF*ck! Help meâ¦â
Halfway through the struggle, his hand suddenly touched something.
He hurriedly touched it a few more times, only to realize that the man who carried him was standing not far from him and his body instincts made him subconsciously climb on him.
At this moment, Wen Chi felt that his whole body was covered with water and the soaked clothes hung heavily on him, as if a pair of hands were dragging him downwards.
Wen Chi recklessly hugged the manâs waist and climbed up, hanging on the man like a koala. When the suffocating feeling of being engulfed in water finally left him, he gasped and wiped his water-soaked clothes on the manâs clothes.
Looking up againââ
Those pairs of cold black eyes were looking at him intently.
âIt really is youâ¦â When Wen Chi thought of how he had finally fallen asleep but was inexplicably kidnapped and thrown into this pool full of water he suddenly became furious, âShi Ye1Wen Chi directly calls him by his name instead of You Highness, are you crazy? Do you know that what you just did was breaking into peopleâs homes?â
Shi Ye stood firmly in the pool, he took off the half-face mask, half of his frosty face was covered with terrible burn marks but Wen Chi didnât know if it was because he was used to seeing it but Wen Chi unexpectedly didnât think these burn marks are as scary as usual instead, they had an eerie sense of seduction against the other half of his perfect face.
âThe East Palace is my territory. From now on when I ascend the throne, the whole imperial palace and even the whole world will be in my possession.â Shi Yeâs thin lips parted slightly and he raised his hand to pinch Wen Chiâs chin, which was dripping with water. His voice was deep and slow, âThis is Bengongâs territory, why should I break into my own house?â
Wen Chi, who struggled to climb onto Shi Yeâs body, blushed with anger, and retorted loudly: âEven if you are not breaking into a personâs house but forcibly taking someone away from their original place against their will is called kidnapping, do you know that what you are doing is kidnapping?â
The answer to Wen Chi was a faint chuckle and the corners of Shi Yeâs mouth raised an imperceptible curve. He looked down at Wen Chiâs flushed face and said, âItâs not someone else that Bengong took away, what Bengong  took away was Bengongâs person, so why should Bengong kidnap them?â
Wen Chi: ââ¦â
What a crooked argument! It was all sophistry!
He didnât expect the dog prince to spew out nonsense one after another.
Wen Chi felt that his mouth was going to twist with anger, so he resolutely gave up talking with Shi Ye.
He turned his head to check the surrounding environment, only to find that it seemed to be a bathroom and some of the furnishings were somewhat similar to the bathroom in Bamboo Flute Residence but this bathroom was larger and more luxurious, unlike as in Bamboo Flute Residence, a wooden barrel for bathing was replaced in the middle by a large pool. The water in the pool was warm and white mist lingered on the surface of the pool.
He took a closer look at Shi Yeâs body submerged in the pool and water only reached his abdomen, it seemed that the pool was not very deep.
After realizing this, Wen Chi felt relieved and planned to jump off Shi Ye.
Who would have thought that Shi Ye seemed to have sensed his intentions and the moment he loosened his arms around Shi Yeâs neck, a pair of strong hands cupped his buttocks from behind and even lifted him upwards with ease.
By now, Wen Chiâs clothes were already soaked. He only wore thin white undergarments when he slept. After getting wet, they became translucent and clung to his body, so much that when Shi Ye looked down, he could see the two light pink spots on Wen Chiâs chest.
His long black hair was also wet on his shoulders and a steady stream of water droplets condensed at the ends of the hair, wrapping that white and rosy face. His skin was white, like freshly squeezed milk so pure white that there was not a single flaw to be found and his face was truly red, as if it could drip blood, with the red gradually spreading towards the roots of his ears.
Originally, Shi Ye had only wet the lower half of his body but after Wen Chi made such a fuss, the upper half of his clothes were not spared either.
The two wet people pressed against each other without any gaps, especially when Shi Ye moved, the inexplicable feeling became more and more obvious.
Shi Yeâs body gradually became stiff and he felt a fire running wildly in his body and it was faintly moving in a certain direction.
