"Pain!" He yell at the top of his lungs. While i throw down the cottonball with the medicine. "Don't be a baby!You are a grown up man!"
"How can any one tolerate this suffering when the wife is not gentle!"
"Fine go look for a gentle lady!"
I storm off and general Tang appear. "Go in and help your boss! I quit!" Outside the sunny courtyard i look up the bow and arrow start practising. After sweating out, i go into the study room and practise writing. The whole afternoon i have peace and quiet. Till i hear the big baby yelling and the maid come running.
"Madame! His highness is asking for your present."
"I am not moving an inch here. Tell him whatever he wants the servants will do it."
"But madame, his highness is making it difficult. We try to give him the medicine but he is complaining and ..."
"Where is general Tang? Wasn't she with him?"
"General Tang left shortly after his highness yell at her. She was so angry that she slash the poor tree outside the main hall."
I roll my eyes and get up. Walk slowly towards the yelling voice. From the door i see him struggling with the male servant who is trying to put on a fresh new dressing for him. That poor boy looks afraid and unsure how to go wrapping a member of the royal family. While the other stands in a distance with the medicine bottle in hand. Both look as if they are being question as criminals. They bow at my sight and i told them to leave. Dingbat look at annoying at me with his long hair dangle up in a mess while sitting up on his left side. He is holding his cloth wrap which is all dangle up. I kick away the bloody cloth on the floor.Sit on the chair facing the bed. "I thought that i am that childish person between us. It seems like you are alike. Why are you making the life of those poor boys in misery?
"They don't know how to apply the medicine. Also the cloth wrap who on earth will do it like that?"
"They don't know, you can teach them patiently. Aren't you teaching in camp?"
"I don't teach. I yell at my men. I discuss military technics with the other in the main camp. I read the military reports. Go lead a war. Write to father emperor. That's all."
We keep in silence for awhile. "Come here, help me to wrap up." He look at me then he say "Please" I get up and walk over to help. I am thinking if i can wrap him up from head to toe how nice will it be. He won't be complaining, yelling nor saying something odd.
Next few days, i feed him with food and medicine. Fan him to sleep. Wash his hair. Basically i become his personal maid. So i sleep on the side bed near him. Sometimes in the night i check if he is having fever or not as he toss and turn on the bed and kicking the blanket. Sometime later the royal physician came by to look at him. He is delighted to see that he is healing properly. However dingbat is still acting up and demand to be treated like a patient. I give it in to him and as usual to treat him like a child. Again he spend his days reading his books and getting food from my feeds.
A night i wake up to find myself on the big bed. Dingbat is watching me while laying on his side. I did not like the way he look at me. It makes my heart pound. "Shouldn't you be asleep now? You need to get well fast so that you can return back to work." He touch my hair in a gentle way. That really makes me feel strange. That reminds me how Cheung'er touch my hair when he laugh and say that i am a silly girl. "I just want to stay forever as family with you. Whether you are the real Shung Yu or not. I don't care. I like that girl who stay with me and care for me, everyday. I only know that this is the face of my wife. The one i like in this life" At that point my mind is blank. I don't know how to reply him. What i see is those big round eyes with long lashes. He moved near and we kiss.
A strange feeling developed in me. I try to stop him and struggle to get off. As i struggle to get him off, his hands are all over me. and suddenly i feel his hand on my skin. Trying to yelling with his mouth over mine is impossible. Tears keep rolling from my eyes. What am i getting into? Why is this happening?
In the end, something not right is done. He whisper some words, i cannot understand. My mind is block and i only know that i need to be away from this vile creature. I thought that i can live for awhile but how can i live now with this person. He might be of royal blood but to do this is unthinkable. I keep crying in the corner however he keep coming back for more. I hated it.
