Le Yao Yao comforted herself, and in no time, she was fine.
Actually, Le Yao Yao had the mindset of an unbeatable cockroach. But just as she was feeling better, Nangong Jun Xi had to start up drama again.
“Bai, you are too nice to this servant! This is why this servant is so stupid. He is crude and can’t even eat properly. Last time when you weren’t here, he didn’t eat so politely! He was like a starving ghost. Today, he’s just pretending to be on good behaviour!”
Hearing Nangong Jun Xi mention her embarrassing moments, Le Yao Yao was furious.
She was sick and tired of this 7th Prince. Each day, he had to insult or pick on her. Would he die if he treated her nicely for once?!
Le Yao Yao couldn’t help it anymore as she gave Nangong Jun Xi an evil smile and violently stepped on his foot.
Humph! You want to pick on me? I’m going to step you to death!!
So, Le Yao Yao used all her strength as she gritted her teeth.
But how come he didn’t have a reaction?! Was he acting? She was clearly stepping on him, yet he was still smiling so happily?!
So strange! Could she be stepping on something else?
Suddenly, it was as if someone heard her thoughts and coolly cleared her mind.
“You are stepping onto this Prince’s foot….”
“Eh…?!!!!”
*bang* This time, Le Yao Yao was stiff as a rock.

After eating that unforgettable meal, the King of Hell and the others moved to the Bamboo Gardens to continue their chat.
It was a hot summer day. In fact, it was hot enough to feel roasted in this temperature.
The green leaves were rolled up, while the tree branches appeared weak as they remained low and droopy.
At this moment, they were sitting underneath the white jade pavilion.
Le Yao Yao was standing and leaning against the railing. She was falling asleep.
For some reason, these days, she keeps taking naps.
Perhaps it was due to the heat, so she was often tired.
Normally, after the King of Hell goes to the Imperial court and she was finished with all her tasks, she would go take a nap.
But now that everyone was here, as a lowly servant, she couldn’t go and take a nap. So, she was doing it while she was standing against the railing.
Currently, her head was lowered and her eyes were closed.
A warm breeze blew across the bluish green lake and many ripples appeared on top. With the Sun shining down, everything had a golden radiance. It was a spectacular sight.
But even though the scenery was as beautiful as a painting, it was incomparable to the three gorgeous men.
As long as they were around, everything else automatically becomes the background.
But suddenly, there was a sound of snoring. In addition, it was very rhythmic and increasing in volume.
Now, everyone in the pavilion were shocked.
Nangong Jun Xi blurted, “Senior brother, when did you start raising pigs in Bamboo Gardens?”
“Eh….”
The corner of Leng Jun Yu’s mouth twitched. He seemed to be very speechless.
Then, his cold pupils turned towards the source and his mouth twitched even harder.
After all, this was the first time he had ever seen someone sleeping vertically.
Was “he” really that tired?
While Leng Jun Yu was thinking, the other two also turned towards the source.
Dongfang Bai was initially shocked. But then, his mouth curved into a gentle smile. There was a bit of love and warmth coming from his eyes, but he probably wasn’t aware of it.
However, Leng Jun Yu saw it and his eyes instantly flickered as his heart tightened.
Could Bai…
Thinking of this, Leng Jun Yu couldn’t help but suck in his cheeks. There was another layer of frost over his eyes.
But no one noticed.
As for Le Yao Yao, she was sleeping soundly and had no clue that she had angered the King of Hell once again.
Remember, not only was the King of Hell unstable and cold, he was also very possessive.
When Nangong Jun Xi realized Le Yao Yao was the one making those snoring noises, his chin almost fell off from shock.
“Oh God! Senior brother! Are you sure your servant isn’t a reincarnation of a pig?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well, he could eat like a beast. He could even fall asleep standing up! If he isn’t a pig reincarnation, then what is he? We shouldn’t call him Xiao Tu Zi anymore. He should be called Xiao Zhu Zi!” (Zhu is pig in Chinese)
Aside from snoring, Le Yao Yao also looked like she was drooling.
Her behaviour was seriously unbeatable. It was as if a crow was flying by everyone’s heads.
After all, how many people in this world could sleep standing up? Very few….
But Le Yao Yao had no idea what was happening. She only knew she was very tired. Subconsciously, she wanted to lie down.
But she had no idea that behind the railing was a clear lake.
So, as she was falling backwards, everyone else were panicking!!
No one expected her to suddenly fall backwards. Nangong Jun Xi was closest to her, but it still hadn’t hit him yet.
But when he realized Le Yao Yao was about to fall in, he was about to fly out to catch him.
But a black shadow beat him to it.
Nangong Jun Xi felt a black shadow flashing by like wind. The person next to him was gone.
Leng Jun Yu had caught Le Yao Yao just in time.
“Senior brother…”
Nangong Jun Xi’s peach blossom eyes were round. Earlier, when he realized Le Yao Yao was about to fall into the lake, he felt like his heart was going to come out of his throat. Now that he was fine, he should be relieved.
But why was he so upset when he noticed how soundly and sweetly Le Yao Yao slept in his senior brother’s arms?
Aside from the disappointment, Nangong Jun Xi also felt frustrated.
If he had reacted faster, right now, Le Yao Yao would be in his arms….
As for Dongfang Bai, he felt relieved knowing that Le Yao Yao was fine.
Earlier, he was also going to rush out to save him. But when he noticed the lightning speed from his buddy, he stopped himself.
After all, there was someone else that cared more about “him”. So there was no need for him to do anything!
But this little guy was truly something else.
Although he hadn’t spent a lot of time with him, Dongfang Bai felt a strange feeling towards him.
For some reason, he really wanted to protect and spoil Le Yao Yao.
This was the first time he had felt this way in his twenty years of life.
But no matter what, he was quite happy to have met this little brother.
If he hadn’t lost his sister in the flood back then, she would probably be around the same age as Le Yao Yao now.
As for Leng Jun Yu, he had no idea what the other two were thinking. He was busy embracing the little guy as he watched him sleep soundly in his arms.
His long and cold pupils flickered and turned warmer.
