Chapter 49.1

Wen Chi tried to put on Shi Ye’s clothes but it was too big. They were loose on him and tended to slide down his shoulders.

“Shi Ye…” Wen Chi weakly shouted at Shi Ye who was standing behind the screen. After yelling, did he realize what he had said and hurriedly changed his words, “Your Royal Highness…”

Shi Ye hummed lightly and after a while, he said, “What’s the matter?”

Wen Chi tugged at his broad sleeves: “The clothes don’t seem to fit well.”

Shi Ye asked: “Where is it inappropriate?”

Wen Chi approached the screen put his hands on the screen and carefully exposed half of his head to look from behind the screen. Only then did he see that although Shi Ye was standing not far behind the screen, his back was facing it. His silent figure almost melted into the darkness that was not illuminated by light.

“The clothes are too big for me to wear and the color…” Wen Chi paused and said bravely, “Your Highness, can you send someone to Bamboo Flute Residence to fetch my clothes?”

After all, in ancient times, there were many taboos. And a coward like Wen Chi naturally didn’t have the guts to wander around outside in this bright yellow dress, even at night, if someone saw it, it could lead to his death.

However, Shi Ye refused succinctly: “No.”

The barely maintained smile on Wen Chi’s face suddenly froze.

Shi Ye said coldly: “If you think Bengong’s clothes are not suitable for you, you can just go out naked, Bengong will not interfere with your decision.”

Wen Chi: “…”

This Dog prince!

Wen Chi was cursing in his heart, he struggled for a long time but finally he didn’t have the courage to put on Shi Ye’s bright yellow coat instead put the coat back on the screen and walked out wearing only the white inner coat.

Shi Ye, with his back turned to him, heard his footsteps and turned around slowly. His indifferent gaze fell on Wen Chi’s thin figure and his eyes suddenly dimmed a bit.

“Why aren’t you wearing the outer robe?”  Shi Ye’s voice was slightly hoarse but it wasn’t unpleasant, instead it was like a walking subwoofer.

Wen Chi scratched his head and casually gave a reason: “Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness but unfortunately my hair is still wet and I’m afraid I’ll get water on it.”

Hearing this, Shi Ye beckoned to him: “Come here.”

Wen Chi tensed up instantly, he swallowed silently, clenched his palms and walked over with stiff steps.

When he came in front of Shi Ye, he stopped and looked up at Shi Ye’s face immersed between light and shadow.

Shi Ye was much taller than him. When he lowered his eyes and looked down at him, it was like an immortal looking down on the mortal beings. They were so close to each other but they forcibly opened up an insurmountable gap.

Wen Chi felt the pressure and stepped back subconsciously.

Shi Ye noticed his movement, his eyes darkened a bit but he didn’t say anything about it instead he said: “Turn around.”

Wen Chi didn’t know what Shi Ye was going to do to him, so he was very nervous. After thinking about it, he turned around obediently and turned his back to Shi Ye.

The next moment, he felt a hand caressing his hair.

Shi Ye’s movements were very light and his cold fingertips brushed against Wen Chi’s ears from time to time.

I don’t know if it’s Wen Chi’s illusion but there seems to be a ray of heat lingering in Shi Ye’s palm, swimming through his hair from top to bottom.

Not long after, Wen Chi found that his hair was not as wet as before.

Wen Chi was shocked.

Although he has always known that wu gong1martial arts are miraculous, he never thought that one day Shi Ye would use them as a hair dryer.

He quickly reached out and touched his hair. It was almost done and he couldn’t help but sincerely admire: “Your Highness, you are awesome!”

As a result, before the words fell, Wen Chi’s voice stalled.

His eyes turned to the side and he saw Shi Ye’s hand pinching his earlobe from the corner of his vision.

Shi Ye got very close, his warm breath sprinkled on his ears and neck, like light feathers brushing over his skin, it was very itchy and it made him want to laugh.

Wen Chi quietly dodged to the other side.

“Y-Your Royal Highness…”

“Your ears are so red.” Shi Ye stopped pinching his ears. He seemed to feel the temperature of Wen Chi’s earlobe with his fingers and then he came to the conclusion, “It’s still very hot.”

Wen Chi: “…”

They were so close together, it would be strange if they weren’t hot.

Although Wen Chi was very afraid of Shi Ye, all he could feel at this moment was embarrassment and awkwardness. The lingering sandalwood on Shi Ye’s body blended into the air, wrapping Wen Chi tightly. 

Wen Chi tilted his head and saved his earlobe from Shi Ye’s grasp.

“Maybe it’s just been soaked for too long, so it’s a little hot.” Wen Chi uncomfortably picked at the hem of his clothes with his fingertips and whispered,  “If Your Royal Highness has nothing else to do, I’ll leave first and go out for a breeze.”

Who knew that Shi Ye directly ignored his previous words: “Do you want to go out for a breeze?”

Wen Chi only wanted to leave this hellish place as soon as possible, so when he heard Shi Ye’s words, he replied without even thinking, “Yes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ye suddenly bent down and easily hugged Wen Chi horizontally.

Wen Chi was so frightened by Shi Ye’s sudden action that his heart was pounding, and he couldn’t even care about etiquette. He patted Shi Ye’s shoulder helplessly: “Hey, what are you going to do? Let me go!”

Shi Ye firmly held him in his arms: “Don’t you want to go out for a breeze? Bengong will help you.”

Wen Chi had a bad premonition and panicked: “Wait, wait… What I said is that I want to go out for a breeze.”

Shi Ye said: “Bengong will take you out.”

After he finished speaking, Shi Ye strode out of the bathroom with Wen Chi in his arms.

Outside the bathroom, Eunuch Zhu was still guarding loyally. When he suddenly saw Shi Ye coming out with Wen Chi in his arms, Eunuch Zhu was also startled and quickly lowered his head.

After Wen Chi noticed the existence of Eunuch Zhu, his face blushed inexplicably, and he simply closed his eyes so as not to look at Eunuch Zhu.

Only to hear Eunuch Zhu say: “Your Royal Highness, it’s getting late now, it’s time to go to bed…”

Shi Ye interrupted him: “You go and rest, don’t worry about me.”

Eunuch Zhu was shocked: “But Your Royal Highness…”

It’s a pity that Shi Ye didn’t intend to let Eunuch Zhu finish his sentence at all. After he walked down the steps, he actually flew up on the spot.
