130 General Po’s Residence
Not long after, the group was greeted with a variety of delicious food prepared by General Po’s family, all the delicious food glistening on the round table which made BaiYing’s saliva not stop flowing.
“Wow, this is delicious, Ying’er is really hungry, Grandpa.”
BaiYing didn’t want to wait long to reach the table but LuoXiang’s hand grabbed he’s and held it tightly.
“Ekh Your Majesty, let go of your hand”
“YingYing behave, General Po will think that all this time I have not given you good food make you look like a hungry worm”
BaiYing tried to let go of the Crown Prince’s grip, General Po couldn’t help but laugh at BaiYing’s attitude which was really very cute.
“Hehehehe, let it be Your Majesty, I did prepare all of this for Your Majesty and XiaoYIng as well as the others, just an ordinary simple dish.”
No matter how hard BaiYing tried to break free, LuoXiang’s hand wrapped tightly around his wrist, he didn’t even need much strength to hold it in.
“Your Majesty, let go of your hand.”
.....
The Crown Prince glanced down at BaiYing’s feet, while in the carriage he was still whimpering in pain in his leg until it was throbbing, but the boy was now like a rabbit jumping here and there, he really couldn’t miss any food.
“This kid”
General Po can’t contain his laugh.
“Ha ha ha ha”
.........
Night came very quickly,
BaiYing finally got the bath that he had longed for, he soaked in a tub of warm and fragrant water until his skin wrinkled, the sound of splashing water with hot steam filled the room as the smell of soap and aromatherapy made BaiYing’s tense nerves relax, Yan and Bi helped him scrub his back and wash his beautiful long hair.
“Owh, this is so nice.”
Soon the Crown Prince came into the room, took off his clothes leaving only his wide shorts, and went into the bathtub with BaiYing.
“Emh it looks really good, YingYing how long do you want to soak? I’m also itching and want to take a bath”
“Your Majesty there is still another restroom, why do you have to be crammed here?”
LuoXiang grabbed the sponge and rubbed BaiYing’s innocent chest.
“Owh, what should I do? this bath is the most comfortable at the moment, and YingYing really takes a long bath.”
BaiYing pulled his lips, that pervert has a thousand reasons to always approach him.
“Just say it you do it on purpose”
Shortly after,
The Crown Prince put on his outer clothes assisted by two of his maids, BaiYing who had finished putting on his nightwear approached, he waved at the two maids who were about to comb the Crown Prince’s hair, both of them lowered their knees after the Crown Prince’s hands were waved telling them to come out of the room.
“Your Majesty, are we going to stay here long? I didn’t expect that we would visit Grandpa Po’s house, just haven’t had a chance to chat yet.” BaiYing slowly took a wooden comb not far beside him and brushed the shiny black long hair, didn’t stop smiling while doing it, imperceptibly, it had become his habit almost every night, only, recently so much had happened that he often missed it. LuoXiang raised his hand to touch BaiYing’s hand which was holding the comb, a delicate hand which he then pulled in front.
“YingYing, your hands are so soft”
LuoXiang closed his eyes, lifting BaiYing’s palms to his cheeks, smooth palms with long slender fingers.
“Em, Your Majesty, what, do you want Ying’er to massage you tonight? Your Majesty has been tired lately, haven’t slept enough, erm, Ying’er will massage Your Majesty, and tomorrow let’s wake up a bit late, it’s very cold here.”
LuoXiang smiled, he lifted his hand to hold BaiYing’s waist and embraced him, taking a deep breath at once. BaiYing’s body odor that he liked so much, what should he do now? he can’t live without that smell, why does he have to carry such a heavy burden that the thought that it might not last forever made his chest hurt, his dependence on his YingYing, made it hard for him to breathe.
Slowly, BaiYing raised his hand to caress the Crown Prince’s crown, dropped his head on top of him, and hugged him.
“Your Majesty, what, Your Majesty is worried about something? Does, Ying’er has made Your Majesty anxious? Your Majesty has a burden, I can feel it, what, did the dragon say to Your Majesty?”
Hearing BaiYing’s question made LuoXiang open his eyes, just silently staring away, still hugging BaiYing tightly.
“Does, according to YingYing, what worries me?”
BaiYing swallowed his saliva? He wanted to let go of his embrace and ask but the Crown Prince’s hand was still holding him.
“Your Majesty”
“Heh, I’m sorry YingYing, for making you seem like a burden on my mind, but, the truth is, now I don’t know what I would do if one day, you really leave me, I, might die too”
BaiYing also felt something in his chest as he thought about that, the Crown Prince had also become a burden on his mind, he was also thinking, what would happen if one day he and the Crown Prince parted ways, that pain, kept pressing on his chest, not the pain when he could feel his connection with ErWang , but, more to the pain where something was pressing down on him until he could hardly breathe, he dropped his head back into the Crown Prince’s arms.
“Your Majesty, I’m also afraid, then, we, should be able to share the burden together, my hands are shaking too, at the thought of something bad that will make us part one day, it feels like all the walls are clamped together so that we can’t move, but we can’t do anything, does Your Majesty feel like that too?”
LuoXiang thought, he nodded his head, lifted his head, and pulled BaiYing to sit on his lap, looking at the young man’s face for a long time, stroking his hair, and kissing his temple gently.
“Chup”
“I’m sorry, for making you think like that too”
BaiYing looked at the Crown Prince’s hand holding his, gripping it tightly.
“However, we can’t prevent all of these fates from happening, so, I don’t want to think about it too much. How about, let’s just pretend that everything doesn’t exist and live for today, although, always think about it won’t change anything, will it?”
The Crown Prince pulled his lips, he smiled seeing BaiYing’s face that looked so mature that night, he nodded.
“Yeah, that would be better.”
BaiYing took out his hand, holding out his pinky.
“Come on, we make a pinky promise, if one of us is gloomy, they will be given a severe punishment”
The Crown Prince glanced at BaiYing’s pinkie which was stretched out in front of him, he chuckled, raising his hand to flick the young man’s forehead.
“Ich this kid”
BaiYing smiled even though he was groaning in pain.
“Your Majesty”
LuoXiang stretched out his little finger, hooking it with BaiYing’s finger which was much smaller than his.
“Let’s promise”
Best
BaiYing laughed out loud, his beautiful smile made all the burdens of LuoXiang’s mind ease, he hugged BaiYing tightly and lifted him towards the bed.
“Come on, massage my body, tonight I will sleep very well, tomorrow we will wake up late, I forgot to tell Bei, don’t let him knock on the door early in the morning, just watch out”
Slowly and very carefully the Crown Prince put BaiYing’s body lying on their bed, looking at his face very closely, stroking his hair, kissing his forehead.
“Stop it, Your Majesty, you said you want to have a massage,” BaiYing said trying to hold LuoXiang’s body still clinging to him, the Crown Prince frowned, he narrowed his eyes.
“Erm, well, I changed my mind, how about I just enjoy you tonight?” BaiYing held back his amusement as the Crown Prince’s big hands went under his clothes and touched his neck and shoulders.
“Hehehe, it’s tickling Your Majesty”
“Umh you taste so good”
LuoXiang kissed every inch of BaiYing’s neck up to his chest, feeling the heat from his thin body that almost felt his bones to his heart’s content, but BaiYing’s hand tried to push him away.
“Hehehe Your Majesty stop it, I’ll just give you a massage, this is so tickling, hahahaha Your Majesty”
..........
The rain just fell in XianYang city that morning, the big city that became one of the bases of the YueYang country which was known to be very strong with its military, General Po who became the city guard is the most respected person even in the eyes of the governor, so once a month there will be residents who come to give crops or goods such as cloth to high-quality shoes, so that sometimes the doorman is overwhelmed with the residents, lucky adviser Kao, a thin, unpretentious old man who is the right hand of General Po’s family who is also the head of the housekeeper, always ready to serve the residents who come.
“Heheheh thank you old man Lie, how about the shop? is still very busy as usual?” Old man Kao asked the merchant who had just left the cloth for him, the fat old man nodded with a face that couldn’t stop smiling.
“Hehehe, it’s very crowded, thanks to General Po, who was very wise in opening the east lane so that many foreigners stopped by, hehehehe”
Old Man Kao fingered his beard.
“Hahahaha how lucky, really lucky”
General Po’s mansion was occupied by General Po and his two daughters, both of whom were married and would come to visit every once in a while, the grandsons themselves were mostly mature enough, much more mature than BaiYing himself, that’s why the general always considered BaiYing to be his youngest grandson.
After the death of his beloved wife due to illness General Po experienced many difficulties in life, traveled far with his men to all corners of YueYang even visited the Hua family’s mansion in the past, until he became his adoptive grandfather when he was little, now, General Po’s large residence is only occupied by General Po himself, with his men who were like family to him.
Beautiful little birds of various colors flew low on the still-wet grass, the sun even though it was warm was slowly shining in some places between the dense trees so that some adorable little animals would run over, bask for a while and return to their nests when they saw some servants passing by.
