Chapter 551

551 Strange

Chen Ming pushed Xiao Hong’s head away from him.

“Hong, it’s just hot”

Xiao Hong smiled. He grabbed the small cup from Chen Ming’s hand, placing it on his palm as if absorbing the heat from the tea. And put it back into Chen Ming’s hand.

“Here, Your Highness, it’s not hot anymore”

Chen Ming pulled his lips.

“Yes, it’s not hot, but I also don’t like my tea to be cold, Hong, how could I drink this?” Chen Ming said because the tea in his palm had now turned cold.

Xiao Hong straightened up, he grabbed the cup and gave the heat back. Soon hot steam appeared again from a small teacup made of select pottery specially carved from the city of Xian Yang.

Chen Ming pursed his lips. Will the bird always use his strength with small things just to please him?

“Too much time doing nothing”

.....

Chen Ming was almost surprised to see that Bai Ying was already behind Xiao Hong looking at the two in confusion.

“Brother”

Bai Ying frowned. He looked at Chen Ming, then at Xiao Hong, and repeated it several times. Xiao Hong bowed his head at Bai Ying and excused himself.

“Your Highness”

Immediately after Xiao Hong moved away. Bai Ying sat next to Chen Ming and held his brother’s hand, leaning closer to whisper.

“Brother, where have you been all this time? Why do I feel that you two are so strange huh?” asked Bai Ying looking at Chen Ming with a pair of big round eyes, a high level of curiosity.

“What do you mean by strange?” asked Chen Ming back.

“Well, strange, looks like, brother and Xiao Hong, erm, how should I put it? Much closer.”

Chen Ming pulled his lips together. He raised his hand to smack Bai Ying’s head.

“This kid” was loud enough to make Bai Ying whimper.

“Aww, it hurts! Why hit my head?”

Chen Ming opened his eyes wide to see Bai Ying who pursed his lips.

“You’re still a little kid and already thinking strange things, what do you mean by closer? What do you know?”

While puffing his mouth and looking at Chen Ming with sharp eyes Bai Ying replied.

“Well, I know, like you used to be with Guard Bei, holding each other, clingy.”

Bai Ying’s words made Chen Ming look even angrier at him.

“Why do you have to mention that person’s name? What does that person have to do with our conversation?” Chen Ming’s voice grew louder.

“Brother is so fierce, why do you have to be so angry, what was I talking about earlier? It’s just saying similar, isn’t that right?”

The stubborn kid actually looked at Chen Ming with his big eyes, even though his older brother was already furious with him.

“Stop talking, this little brother wants to be pinched, didn’t you?”

Bai Ying got up from his seat ready to run when Chen Ming was about to pinch him.

“Ah, Brother! Why are you so fierce!”

Chen Ming chased after Bai Ying trying to vent his frustration, he was excited to pinch him.

“Brother, come here, this brat, why are you starting to be ruder to your own brother”

Bai Ying hid behind a tree, avoiding her brother who was always harsh on her as usual.

“I am not! Brother, what’s my fault, don’t pinch me, big brother’s pinch hurts so much!”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Chen Ming stretched out his hand.

“Brother, come here”

“No way!”

Bai Ying continued to dodge until he almost bumped into someone who was already in front of him. Hit him so hard he would probably have bounced off if it weren’t for that person’s hand holding his hand.

“Hey watch out!” That person pulled Bai Ying’s hand with his whole body drawn towards him to hug him and hold his back waist not to go away.

Bai Ying stuttered. Everything was so fast and he didn’t have time to dodge.

“Insolent get your hands off my brother!” Chen Ming’s loud voice.

The person who was none other than Lo Yi hugged the body and held Bai Ying’s back waist so that the bodies of the two were pressed together.

Bai Ying widened her eyes. Quickly came to his senses and pushed the person who was hugging him off him.

“Eh B-Brother Lo Yi”

It was Lo Yi who smiled widely with one hand still holding Bai Ying’s hand and the other behind Bai Ying’s waist.

“Hey, sweet Young King, why are you so careless? It would be very dangerous right?” The young man spoke so close to Bai Ying’s ear that he almost kissed him. Chen Ming stepped forward and immediately pulled his brother’s hand away from the impertinent man’s embrace.

“I said, let my brother off!”

Bai Ying was pulled towards Chen Ming who was already standing in front of him, blocking him from the young man who was still smiling while kissing the hand that had held Bai Ying’s body earlier.

“Ehm, it smells great.”

Chen Ming looked at Lo Yi sharply. In this world only that rotten Crown Prince he allowed to touch his brother, even though he’s not fully agreed with that too. And now, there’s another brash man who takes advantage of adversity. He will not assume that person exists. Bai Ying took hold of his hand and walked towards the path.

“Come on brother, let’s go back to the room”

Bai Ying stuttered. He occasionally still looked at Lo Yi who was still stunned in his place. Xiao Hong and Bi followed behind while Chen Ming pulled Bai Ying up like a big brother pulling his younger brother home after playing all day and forgetting to go home.

“B-brother, why did you scold brother Lo Yi, he just saved me from a miserable fall”

Chen Ming knocked Bai Ying’s head back.

“Aww brother, why hit me again, what if I get stupider?” Bai Ying exclaimed.

“Well, you really are stupid, don’t you see that person’s reaction every time he sees you? He looks like he just wants to eat you, his gaze is more terrifying than the Crown Prince’s.”

Bai Ying who was still groping his head pursed his lips.

“What do you mean by wanting to eat me? Does he like to eat human flesh? This big brother is just scaring me right?”

Chen Ming rolled his eyes upwards, his stupid little brother, too innocent and stubborn. He got annoyed talking to him

“This little brother, just listen to what brother said, I said not to go near him so remember it carefully, do you want brother to complain to that rotten Crown Prince, do you know what that person will do if he finds out someone else is touch you even to the point of hugging you?”

Hearing that Bai Ying waved his hand.

“No brother, don’t tell His Highness the Crown Prince, he’s even worse, he can cut his hand later”

“You know that, so next time you meet that person quickly avoid him, did you hear that brother?” Chen Ming exclaimed.

Bai Ying pursed his lips. Looking at his brother who seemed quite serious with his words.

“Yeah, I heard you,” he answered with a heavy heart.

Meanwhile where Lo Yi was standing. A young man dressed in red, a clan member who was with Lo Yi, approached the Crown Prince of the Dai Yang country. So far only the Crown Prince and the others knew the identity of the young man, not even the members of the White Cloud Clan even if it was Sang Guan Yi Lu.

The young man lowered his head while passing something into Lo Yi’s hand.

“Report Your Majesty, according to our people in the border area, several Yue Yang soldiers are seen closely monitoring the road, it is very unlikely for our people to enter the city” whispered the young man.

Lo Yi, who was still looking at Bai Ying’s back, looked at the scroll that was now in his hand.

“Tell them to spread out and enter in sections, lest they arouse suspicion.”

The young man nodded.

“Ready Your Majesty”

Lo Yi clenched his fists. Handing the roll of paper to his men.

“Burn this, don’t leave any traces.”

The young man nodded back. Without the two of them realizing it, not far behind a tree near them, someone seemed to be eavesdropping on their conversation. It was none other than Xu er who happened to be passing by and was about to call Lo Yi over for lunch. Xu Er frowned. What are these people really talking about?

When the man in red who was standing in front of Lo Yi headed towards the bungalow again and passed Xu er’s position now, the young man came out from behind the tree, he walked quickly towards the man and accidentally bumped into him. Xu er immediately straightened himself up and helped the young man who nearly fell because he was standing up straight.

“Ouch, forgive me, I didn’t see you, are you okay?”

The young man smiled, he waved his hand at Xu er.

“Eh it’s okay”

“Eh, young masters, what a coincidence to meet you here, it’s already lunchtime and I was also ordered by the elders to call everyone to the main room because there will be an official announcement”

.....

Lo Yi looked at the youth and his men to do what he had ordered, the young man lowered his head and backed away to leave.

Lo Yi smiled at Xu er, extending his hand forward.

‘Oh, thanks for the notice, please Master Xu”

“Please Young Master Lo”

Xu Er then led the way. He walked in front of Lo Yi and held something quite small in his hand, the roll of paper that the man had dropped when they collided. Whatever it was, it probably wasn’t that important, he’d have a look at it later, better put it under his clothes first.
