603 Sweet You
Xiao Hong looks up to Chen Ming.
“Prince please be careful!” he exclaimed.
Bai Ying pursed his lips, Xiao Hong only cared about his brother, even though he was there too. He glanced at the Crown Prince who was still standing watching by the water, calm like he usually was. Although he really wanted to join in he had to maintain his dignity as the Crown Prince.
Bai Ying waved his hand.
“Your Majesty, come here!” he exclaimed.
Luo Xiang just stood straight with his hands behind his waist. Looking at Bai Ying who was standing on Er Wang’s back which was quite slippery.
“This kid, watch your feet, you can fall!”
And it is, Bai Ying widened his eyes when Chen Ming accidentally jump because it was slippery, luckily, there’s Xiao Hong caught him before he fell into the water, although his position was actually not that high from the water.
“Oops, Prince, be careful, you can hurt yourself,” said Xiao Hong who catch Chen Ming and carry him like a princess. Chen Ming smiled sheepishly, letting Xiao Hong hold him for a while, holding his neck so he wouldn’t fall.
.....
Bai Ying pursed his lips, he didn’t expect his brother was very romantic too, even such tacky moves crossed his mind, looks like have to follow his move.
Xiao Hong and Chen Ming looked at each other very closely, until Chen Ming back to his sense and pushed Xiao Hong’s chest away from him, lowering his two feet to the bottom of the water.
“H-Hong, what are you doing? I really wanted to jump into the water, why did you catch me?”
Bai Ying looked at the Crown Prince who didn’t seem to want to make himself dirty to help him, would he do the same with Xiao Hong?
He again waved his hand towards the Crown Prince.
“Your Honour!”
Then without thinking too long he raised his hands and jumped off Er Wang’s back which was quite high from the water. With that height, he could hit the riverbed.
“Yuhuu!”
Luo Xiang widened his eyes.
“That kid what did he do?” without a second thought, not even having time to take off his outer garments, the Crown Prince jumped into the river, catching Bai Ying before he even hits the water.
“Ying Ying!” but he still couldn’t avoid him and Bai Ying who ended up falling into the bottom of the water where their entire bodies were submerged in the water.
“Byussshhh!”
Luo Xiang held Bai Ying’s waist holding him tightly to make sure he was safe, while Bai Ying wrapped his two arms around the Crown Prince’s neck. Due to the low water depth, the two can only enter and reappear quickly, even when their whole body is wet.
Bai Ying smiled broadly, as he could have guessed, the Crown Prince would not let him harm in the slightest, just like what Xiao Hong did to Chen Ming. Even though their love is undoubted and can’t even be expressed in words, Bai Ying just wants to know how romantic the Crown Prince is after being with him for so long, he has never let him down.
“Your Highness”
So close, Luo Xing saw Bai Ying’s face which was completely wet, his hair slightly stuck to his flushed white cheeks, to his wet red lips which often pulled him closer. The young man at that time was very seductive.
“Bad boy, did my Ying Ying really scare me on purpose?”
Bai Ying wrapped his arms around the neck of the Crown Prince who didn’t lower his body either. Seeing a handsome face with a sturdy jaw, sunken and sharp eyes, a big sharp nose, with seductive thin lips. His chest was beating faster, just seeing the face he had longed for made his chest fill with his white flames which swirled more calmly and coolly, getting ready to burst out when he was too excited.
“Your Majesty, thank you for saving me” Bai Ying whispered.
Luo Xiang pressed his forehead against Bai Ying’s.
“Brat, of course, I will always save you, even though you are the most powerful King of Realm of the entire universe, to me you are still my sweet Ying Ying who always needs my protection.”
Bai Ying couldn’t hide his shy smile.
“Really?”
Luo Xiang nodded. He brought his face closer to Bai Ying’s face and noble pressed his lips to Bai Ying’s seductive lips.
“Of course, do you have to doubt that again?” he whispered, kissed Bai Ying’s lips gently, lifted his head, and couldn’t stop smiling at the young man’s attractive face, kissing his lips back to his neck.
“My Ying Ying”
Bai Ying’s body slightly squirmed as the Crown Prince kissed his neck to his chest.
“Akh Your Majesty” Luo Xiang seemed to be impatient to enjoy Bai Ying no matter where they were at that time until Er Wang’s tail movement threw water at the two splashing them quite hard.
“Byusshhh!”
Although that didn’t stop Luo Xiang from kissing Bai Ying who was in his arms, kissing him with his half body to his back long hair floating widely above the water’s surface.
Chen Ming averted his gaze.
“Those perverts, get a room” he grumbled.
Xiao Hong only suppressed a smile, he held Chen Ming’s hand and looked at him with a flirtatious look. Chen Ming pushed Xiao Hong’s stomach.
“Don’t even think about it,” he cried.
Xiao Hong just scratched his head.
“Why? It looks fun” said Xiao Hong following Chen Ming who was heading the other way enjoying the water in another part, he was already getting wet, and it would be a shame to get out of the water too soon.
“Stop it, Hong!” Chen Ming exclaimed.
The sun began to dim slightly as the four of them rose back to the surface of the water. Luo Xiang and Bai Ying sat in front of the bonfire where Bei Yau and the little guard were toasting Bai Ying’s favourite sweet potato. He and Crown Prince already changed their clothes, but his hair was still wet making him start to get cold and sat huddled together in a wide blanket with the Crown Prince.
“Is it cold?” Luo Xiang asked. He grabbed Bai Ying’s two cold palms and rubbed them.
Bai Ying nodded.
“Yes, it’s quite cold”
Luo Xiang patted Bai Ying’s forehead tucking his messy hair behind his ear.
“You can let out your fire if you’re cold Ying, look at your hands, cold and pale,” said Luo Xiang.
Bai Ying smiled.
“Your Majesty, what’s the fun in that, hot sweet potatoes should be enjoyed when we’re cold, look, ouch it looks so delicious, Ying been so hungry”
Luo Xiang couldn’t help but pinched Bai Ying’s sharp nose in exasperation.
“This kid” shifted Bai Ying’s body closer to him.
“Come on, sit closer, hugging each other when it’s cold is also very comfortable.”
Bai Ying nodded, he smiled to his eyes disappeared completely.
“Yes Your Highness”
....
Night came.
The group finally found a halfway house in a nearby village to stay for the night. Bei Yau’s men managed to find a resident’s house with a yard large enough for all the carriage and horses to rest.
In the Xu family rest house, the owner is the former village head who now lives in a small house at the back of a large residential complex that is usually rented out to travellers. The sky was already dark when the Crown Prince and others arrived, of course, Bai Ying couldn’t see the scenery around him, he would just go back to enjoying it the next day.
The owner of the house has two daughters who help her parents serve the group’s needs such as food and toiletries. The two girls of Purple Water village have beautiful faces, with big eyes and small sharp noses and small lips as plums. Slightly tan skin with a small and slim body shape. The two of them served the Crown Prince’s dinner and the others with beaming faces. Either way, the Crown Prince’s entourage were almost all young and handsome men. The Crown Prince became the main attention because of his tall, sturdy body with broad shoulders, and very handsome face with sharp sunken eyes. So was Bei Yau, a tall, burly young man with a large, muscular build that was clearly visible beneath his clothes.
And not just that, the old man even deliberately invited selected girls from the village to serve everyone.
The Crown Prince didn’t care, as long as Bai Ying sat very close to him he didn’t mind if all the girls tried to please his men.
“Hehehe please Young Master, this is a typical food from our village, sweet potatoes with a splash of honey, usually used as gifts for travellers,” said the old man Xu Man, a thin old man with a slight beard on his chin. The man couldn’t stop smiling since welcoming their grand guest this afternoon.
Luo Xiang only glanced at Bei Yau who immediately knew what he was about to do.
“Thank you, Master Xu but it’s getting late, I think all these young women should also return to their respective homes, and we also want to rest,” said Bei Yau.
