It was the first light of a new day. Feng Xi woke up but did not feel good at all. This was the day she would have to begin her face off with Tang Zhi. Rubbing her eyes and climbing out of bed, she stumbled her way to the bathroom to wash up before getting ready for school. But as she walked into the bathroom her eyes opened wide to see a stark naked Prince Jin drying himself off with her towel. "You!? What are you doing here?"
"I decided that I would move into your courtyard. Although I said I would not interfere with your battle with them. I also said I would protect you. I do not feel reassured if it is only you and the two servant girls here. Anything could happen, to them, and to you. With me and Eunuch Li here we will be able to protect you if and when we are needed." Prince Jin explained as he wrapped the towel around his waist. He looked up at Feng Xi who was looking at him but not looking at him at the same time. She seemed to be lost in thought. "You're not going blush and run away after seeing my body?"
"What left is there to see? I have seen every centimeter of your body already! Remember I have pictures." After saying the last sentence Feng Xi wished she could find a hole to crawl into! 'Why did I open my big mouth!?'
"Oh? So you look at my pictures all the time? It seems my Xi'er is a bit naughty!" A big shit-eating grin formed on Prince Jin's face.
Feng Xi blushed but she stood her ground and said: "I do! So what!? You can't tell me you do not do the same with the pictures you took of me!"
"Seems a little unfair that I only get pajama pictures though." The look prince Jin gave Feng Xi was one that said he was being treated unfairly made Feng Xi want to punch him! 'I'm a girl and you are a boy! You do not lose anything from being photographed naked! Whereas I will!' But as she looked at his pitiful expression her heart couldn't help but soften as she softly said "Bathing suit..." while crossing her arms over her chest and turning her head away.
"Hmm?" Prince Jin did not hear what she said because of how softly she spoke.
Blushing from ear to ear and becoming angry because she had to repeat herself Feng Xi stomped her feet and yelled: "Tonight, I will let you take pictures of me in my bathing suit, nothing else! Now turn around and sit down I will dry your hair.."
Prince Jin did not say anything else, he just smiled away and did as he was told. His Xi'er was very shameless and he loved every bit of it! When Prince Jin was not looking Feng Xi lips curled up into a smile when she thought of how the lofty domineering Prince Jin was willing to lower himself to living in a side room just to protect her. This filled her with warmth which is why her heart softened enough to let him take pictures of her in a bathing suit. But that was her limit.
After drying Prince Jin's hair, Feng Xi went and got ready herself. She, of course, kicked Prince Jin out of the bathroom first. Within an hour the two were both making their way to class. But as she made her way down the end of the trail that led to the pavilions where classes were held, a tall handsome figure was standing there waiting.
Seeing this tall handsome man, made Feng Xi click her tongue. She hugged Prince Jin's arm and completely ignored the young man as they both walked by. "Feng Xi! You owe me an explanation!"
Feng Xi stopped her steps and turned her head. her eyes showing a cold expression as she looked at the handsome man "An explanation? To a man who said I stunk, puked, and then ran out of the garden on our first meeting? Why do I owe you anything? From what I have seen you were also fucking my sister at the time as well. Let me ask you, Tang Zhi, who owes who an explanation? I think you need to take your STD infested dick and find my sister. From what I heard she had been keeping quite a few boys happy lately. I am sure one more wouldn't hurt!"
Finishing her words Feng Xi turned around leaving a stupefied Tang Zhi! He had never expected that the docile and shy Feng Xi he met in the garden was so overbearing! He was so shocked he forgot to retort anything she said! His anger rose up, he was about to say something but at that time Prince Jin turned his head and glared at him. This one glare was enough for Tang Zhi to break out into a cold sweat! But he could not let this slap to the face go! She had said all those things in front of so many students and now they were all giving him weird looks and mocking him! He would not live this down!
"Humph! Act all high and mighty as you want. I will make you scream for mercy after I take your innocence tonight!" Tang Zhi whispered under his breath. He fiddled with the small package he had in his pocket while glaring menacingly at Feng Xi's retreating back. He had not planned to take her virginity himself, he planned to sell it to the highest bidder, but now he wanted to see that tear soaked face while she moaned from his dick! He would teach her that a woman has no place going against him! After deciding his plans Tang Zhi snorted and left heading towards Feng Lan's courtyard.
Meanwhile, Feng Xi was feeling a bit good about herself after seeing that stupid look on Tang Zhi's face. But she also knew he would not leave this alone. "Jin'er, you will stay in my room for a while. Tang Zhi will not give up like this and I have a feeling he will try to make a visit tonight."
"Then I will have Eunuch Li bring a bed in later." Prince Jin was only showing a bit of happiness on the outside, but on the inside, he felt like jumping up into the air and screaming out his joy. For her to invite him into her bedroom at night meant that she trusted him. Which truly made Prince Jin happy.
"No, need. I trust you not to do anything out of line and my bed is big enough for three people. It would be safer if you slept next to me. We will push the bed up against the sidewall so that if Tang Zhi wanted to get to me he would need to climb over you first. I do not want to lose sleep just because of some asshole." Feng Xi knew Tang Zhi's methods, she would take every precaution needed to protect herself. Even if it meant sleeping in the same bed with Prince Jin. Luckily they were engaged so such a thing was not a problem. If someone found out it wouldn't matter. She was no longer worried about her reputation now that she confirmed her feelings for Prince Jin.
