Why was this prince getting more and more of an eyesore these days? The more he spent times with him, the more this prince showed his true colors. Just some bites of a small sweet potato…..how come this Ming Zixin was asking something as an exchange for this tiny little snack?
Last time too...when they finally found a house in the village which could give them a small vacant room to stay during their mission, he just couldn't convince this prince to share it with him. The bed was small...that's right. And the place was too crappy to suit his taste. Even so, he willingly approved to spend his days in emerald jade mountain there…. just because he believed this prince would serve him well.
They were both men, so it's nothing peculiar to share a room. And he himself was also willing. Because only by sharing the room with that prince would He Jingyi be able to have someone around to run errands for him. But this prince refused it with no second thought, not to mention he got an addition bonus with some harsh scolding from Ming Zixin.
" Ladies shouldn't share a room with a man…..don't you know? Okay...you are lucky since your first time asking to do this kind of thing is me. If it were others, you must have been deflowered already…..ahh….shit….this is getting frustrating. What should I do with her?"
He Jingyi could still hear those harsh words from a few nights ago. That was his first time getting scolded this severely. Even his father, a tyrannical demon which were feared by others, hadn't mistreat him like this.
It would also be correct to say that's the first time he got reprimanded so hard from Ming Zixin as well. This prince must be a hypocrite who managed very well to hide his true nature all these years. Not even a week had passed since he came to help this prince's tasks… but Ming Zixin was already mistreating him already. How could he even manage to accomplish the entire mission just like this?
He couldn't even eat properly just from this horrifying thought alone. And now that he was in a bit of a mood to swallow down some food, this prince was here getting parsimonious just for a bite of his snack. This was so unjust that He Jingyi couldn't bear it anymore. He Jingyi had to show this prince he was not some young lady the prince could bully as he wished.
" What exchange?.....you have me already….. to help you with the task. I'm the party here who is taken advantage…. I have to spend my precious time helping you. The one who should collect compensation...is it not supposed to be me?…so just give it to me if you don't want to eat …."
With that said, He Jingyi stretched out his hand to snatch it away. But what's surprising here was Ming Zixin didn't protest and the prince let him snatch it with so little effort. Ming Zixin really loved to get to him, didn't he? He Jingyi just wondered what made him think this prince was a gentleman in all these years.
With a snort, he took a bite at the mouthwatering sweet potato only to feel like whether to spit it out or swallow it down right in the next second….this one…this baked sweet potato is just so hot like hell. Earlier he didn't realize it because he was getting carried away for a bit.
Blowing on the steaming sweet potato, He Jingyi glared at the prince besides. This must be his scheme, right? Ah….no….even his hand couldn't bear the heat anymore.
" Zixin" In a hardened tone, He Jingyi called out as his steps came to a halt. This prince... as though he's not the one who had provoked him just a moment ago, how come he could be so engrossed in inspecting the light of pendant. That damn prince didn't even realize the entire assistant of his being left behind?
" Ming Zixin!"
Seeing the prince not heard him, the pissed off He Jingyi called out once again.
Ming Zixin whose forehead occupied with some black lines, hearing the angered tone of his beloved, was yanked out of a little puzzle world he was in.
Confused, the prince glanced beside only to tumble to a realization that his Jingyi had gone vanished into thin air from who knew since when. In a fluster, he checked, glancing left and right. Still, his Jingyi was nowhere to be found. But then, he turned around, sensing a piercing gaze coming from some little angered bunny behind.
Ahh…so, she's here…..
Feeling relieved and guilty at the same time, Ming Zixin walked over to his little angered bunny. The word "guilty" was written all over his face. If it were someone else in this situation, they might asked " Why did you stay behind without uttering a single word? You made me worried big time." But since this was prince Zixin and the person who made him worried was also no other than his very beloved, how could he react like this?
" This prince apologize. I should have pay more attention to you than this fuckin pendant. This prince is wrong, okay? "
If outsiders were to overhear this conversation, they might even wrong it for a husband coaxing his little wifey. But for them, this was already a tradition. Every time, his beloved Jingyi was angered, this prince had responsibility to coax his demonic princess and admit he was wrong ...whether he was the one to blame or not. You see…..it's safe to say this was also one of the main reasons how Ming Zixin could get along very well with his princess all these years.
Contented with the prince's apology, He Jingyi's let the matter go. Raising steaming sweet potato in his hand so that it was just in the line of Ming Zixin's eyesight, he said in a commanding tone.
" Cool it down for me. It's too hot. My cheeks hurt from blowing it."
Mild surprise flickered across his eyes. But, it didn't take long before that surprise got replaced with genuine amusement. A mischievous smile curved on his lips. And instead of taking the steaming thing from the youth's hand, Ming Zixin grabbed the wrist of his beloved Jingyi before lowering his head a bit and blowed on the so-called steaming snack.
Not forgetting to give a flirtatious look, Ming Zixin also made sure to let the youth's pearl white hand made contact with his hot breathe. He Jingyi froze a bit. But then, he was quick to relax before giving another command.
" Blow on my fingers too. They might have been scorched from the heat as well."
Well….this command surprised a particular prince though. The command earlier was still understandable. But this one….was she even sure that she was not flirting with him right now? Or, maybe it's just that this princess was simply too good at flirting without her own knowledge?
Seriously...Jingyi....how come you have such incredible ability to seduce this prince both knowingly and unknowingly? Every minute this prince is going crazy….just because of you.....
Just wait and see…..one day, this prince will make you take responsibility for everything...every...single….thing….you did to seduce this prince.....
