CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE

607 No Feeling

Crown Prince and Bai Ying’s room.

Luo Xiang took a deep breath since Bai Ying still didn’t want to look at him at all. He had been lying on the bed with his back on him ever since.

“Ying Ying, why do you still not believe me? I told you already that brother doesn’t touch that girl at all, let alone rape her, that’s absolutely impossible.”

Bai Ying let go of Luo Xiang’s hand that was holding her arm.

“How can Brother not touch her, that girl is so beautiful, her body is so smooth, sexy, and her plumpy chest, impossible you didn’t touch her, didn’t you?”

Luo Xiang pursed his mouth.

“yeah, I admit that girl is indeed pretty, with smooth skin, big breasts, full tender waist, unlike someone who’s so thin only with skin-wrapped bones and doesn’t have excess flesh.”

Hearing that Bai Ying turned his head to look at the Crown Prince with a sharp look, then pulled his body up and move a bit away from the Crown Prince.

“See? You must have thought about that for so long, isn’t it? Yes, Ying er is so skinny, but every time I eat a little more, rother said Ying Er’s cheeks are rounded. Brother must be tired of me, right? Just say it that’s the truth, isn’t it?” Bai Ying pushed the Crown Prince’s hand that was holding his. His voice was louder, the boy sounded hysterical and unreasonable.

.....

“Heh this kid, what the heck are you really thinking about, after all this time..”

“Brother Xiang Xiang is so mean, How come you did this to Ying er!”

“Do what? Ying Ying, I didn’t do it, how many times I should have told you too? Why don’t you believe me? Come here, look into my eyes, is it possible that I lied?”

“That is possible! Anything can happen” Bai Ying exclaimed.

Luo Xiang tried to hold his hand even though Bai Ying kept pushing it away several times.

“Don’t touch me, after Brother used that hand to touch the girl, let alone hit her, why was Brother so cruel? I didn’t expect that you could hit such a weak woman too”

“I didn’t do it!”

Bai Ying and Luo Xiang’s loud voices could be heard out of the room, where some people like the owner of the house passed and stopped to listen a little longer, but the royal guards asked them to continue on their way.

“Please”

....

Night falls.

Chen Ming stood in front of his room which faced the back garden, standing still and looking at the dark sky with a few shining stars adorning it.

That place is indeed so calm, although it had been quite noisy of Bai Ying and the Crown Prince’s incessant bickering before, but other than that the atmosphere in the old man’s residence was quite calm and comfortable. A cold wind blew against Chen Ming’s hair and clothes which fluttered quite a distance. It was far enough to hit someone whos already standing behind him, draping a long warm robe around Chen Ming’s back.

“Prince, the air is quite cold tonight, you can catch a cold for standing here too long,” said someone who was already standing behind Chen Ming.

Chen Ming turned his head, it was a voice he was quite familiar with, but it wasn’t Xiao Hong. New chapters are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Chen Ming looked in the other direction where Xiao Hong should be, but he wasn’t, it was Bei Yau who was now standing behind him.

“Guard Bei, what are you doing in my room?” asked Chen Ming who subconsciously stepped back a bit away from Bei Yau who was so close as if he stick to him.

Bei Yau smiled. Unstop looking at Chen Ming’s pretty face, raising his hand to tidy up Chen Ming’s messy hair because of the wind earlier, they can even hear the roaring quite clearly.

“He, this is the terrace, right in front of the garden, so it’s not just your room. I saw Xiao Hong come out and leave you here alone in this cold weather, how can he leave you? Look at your hands.” Bei Yau raised Chen Ming’s two hands rubbing his cold palms.

Chen Ming couldn’t move to reject it, his body couldn’t, nor his heart, perhaps he still couldn’t completely reject Bei Yau, although, in his heart, there was already Xiao Hong filling it. But he admitted it, in that tight corner, he still kept the name, Bei Yau. What must he do to make it out?

Bei Yau smiled. Chen Ming did not refuse as he rubbed his palms together and blew hot air into his hands. Pulled Chen Ming’s hand closer and lifted his two hands to hold Chen Ming’s cheek. Trying to warm him with his still-warm palms.

Chen Ming’s pair of big round eyes looked at Bei Yau with his innocent gaze, like a child looking at his idol, blinking several times with his eyelashes fluttering beautifully. Bei Yau couldn’t stop smiling, looking at Chen Ming’s cute and adorable face and tugging at him.

“Prince, you look very attractive tonight, please forgive me,” whispered Bei Yau in his heavy strong deep voice.

Chen Ming clenched his fists, he didn’t have time to say anything when suddenly Bei Yau lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.

“ump”

His eyes widened, and his body froze in place and couldn’t move at all, Bei Yau’s hand gripped his jaw while the other held his back waist.

Xiao Hong who had just entered the room after looking for a long robe for Chen Ming stopped in front of the door, stunned to see Chen Ming and Bei Yau kissing.

He held his breath for a moment, his chest hurt uncontrollably, and his blood boiled as if the red fire was ready to explode out of him at that moment, but, he couldn’t, he had to be able to hold himself from doing that.

Xiao Hong turned his head the other way and clenched his fists. He’d better get out or else he might unleash his limitless power uncontrollably due to the pressure on his chest.

Chen Ming who realized what had happened pushed Bei Yau.

“Guard Bei” he clenched his fists to stop himself from hitting the young man who had been presumptuous to kiss him.

Bei Yau stepped back, he realized that he had done something dishonourable.

“P-Prince, please forgive me.”

Chen Ming lowered his head, holding himself back from anger then turned his back on the young guard.

“Please, get out of my room”

Damn you, Bei Yau, what have you done? cursed Bei Yau in his head.

Chen Ming sounds very angry at that time. But Bei Yau pulled Chen Ming’s hand again, he couldn’t let things continue like this.

“Prince, please forgive me, but I do it because my feelings for Prince remain the same as before, please, give me a chance, I beg you.”

Chen Ming takes his hand off Bei Yau. He didn’t answer him right away, silent for a long time while taking the air that felt very heavy for him to breathe on, all seemed to be pulled away from him. Chen Ming held his chest, whether it was because he still liked Bei Yau, or because he felt guilty towards Xiao Hong, he didn’t know what to feel at that time.

“You know, that’s impossible, Guard Bei, I’ve already chosen Xiao Hong, just like Xiao Hong chose me, everything that happened between us in the past can’t possibly go back to how it used to be, you know that right?”

Bei Yau stuttered, he clenched his fists to hold himself from touching Chen Ming. He missed him so much that made him go crazy from it, his love for Chen Ming couldn’t just go off just like that, and that was the same for Chen Ming too. It couldn’t be lost so easily, he definitely still has a place in his heart.

“Prince, give me another chance, no matter how hard I try, I can’t ever forget my feeling for you, I believe, you too”

“That can’t be, Guard Bei, at this state you don’t really expect me to still harbour feelings for you right?” Chen Ming’s voice sounded trembling.

Bei Yau was about to talk again but Chen Ming turned his body towards the other direction without even looking at him.

“Please leave me alone, Guard Bei, I want to rest”

..........

Past midnight.

After all the efforts made by the village head and his officials, as well as Ms Hu and her women, none of them was able to get near or even arrest the Crown Prince to be taken to the village hall. Everyone immediately retreated as Bei Yau and his men advanced.

There was nothing they could do but wait outside the Xu family residence. Just like Miss Hu who set up a makeshift tent right on the field that was located in front of the exit of Xu’s private residence. The woman sat where she was enjoying her hot tea facing the gate of the Xu family’s simple but spacious house. A young woman who was probably his personal adviser was standing right beside her.

“Those people, where did they come from? They are so great, but Mrs Mao will be so angry if we don’t bring anyone back with us, then, what should we do now?”
