By the time Le Yao Yao woke up, the Sun had already set.
After waking up, Le Yao Yao felt very recharged. She began to stretch out her hands and lazy waist.
“Mmmm… I slept so well!”
“Brother Yao, you’re awake?”
“Huh? Brother Bai? You’re still here?”
Dongfang Bai was lying next to her. There was only an inch of a distance between them.
Le Yao Yao could smell the medical scent on him. It was a very soothing scent.
Currently, the Sun was setting and the sky was red. The sky looked like a colourful silk.
“Unlimited sunset beauty. Only near dusk.”
“Wow! What a great line! Brother Yao, you’re young yet so intelligent!”
Hearing this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
Because, she knew that Dongfang Bai had misunderstood. He thought she created this line. But in actuality, this was a famous line from history. She wanted to explain, but Dongfang Bai had already gotten up from the grass.
He began to elegantly flatten his crinkled white robe. Then, he kindly suggested, “Brother Yao, it’s already late. We better head back.”
“Huh? Oh. Ok.”
Le Yao Yao also patted her robe and put on her socks and shoes.
“Alright. Let’s go!”
Just as Le Yao Yao was about to take a step forward, Dongfang Bai stopped her.
“Wait, brother Yao.”
“Eh?”
Hearing this, Le Yao Yao gazed at Dongfang Bai in confusion. She looked up at him. Since she was so short, she was only at his chest level.
Although Le Yao Yao had seen Dongfang Bai’s face multiple times, she was always stunned by his good looks.
For some reason, he was gazing at her very gently. It was as if he was hooked onto her.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao’s pupils flickered. Especially when the man began to bent down his waist…
W-… what was he doing?
If a man gets closer and closer towards you, what would you assume?
If a handsome man that could make people go insane begins bending down towards you, would your heartbeat accelerate?
Currently, Le Yao Yao stared as Dongfang Bai brought his face closer and closer towards her.
In addition, his long, slender hand was gradually reaching for her face as well.
He touched her, but only for a second. There was nothing else.
“Haha. Brother Yao, you have a piece of grass stuck in your hair!”
“Ohhh..so that’s what you were doing.”
Hearing Dongfang Bai’s words, Le Yao Yao curved her lips upwards and gave him her brilliant smile.
However, she failed to realize that although she felt no romantic feelings towards this man, it wasn’t the same for him…
Seeing the cute and beautiful face in front of him, Dongfang Bai suddenly felt something striking against his heart.
He didn’t know what this unfamiliar feeling was, but his gaze deepened and his eyes showed an increase of intensity.
“Bai!”
The sharp voice brought Dongfang Bai back to reality. Dongfang Bai and Le Yao Yao both turned towards the source of the sound.
So, after seeing Nangong Jun Xi, she bowed out of respect and then turned to leave.
Initially, she thought Nangong Jun Xi came to find Dongfang Bai. Unexpectedly, Nangong Jun Xi said, “Bai! You have to return to the medical clinic now, right? Perfect timing. I have some things to say to this servant.”
“Alright. Then I’m going to excuse myself first. Have a good chat.”
Dongfang Bai nodded at Le Yao Yao and then left gracefully. He took huge strides and Le Yao Yao stared as he gradually disappeared from her line of sight.
“Are you done staring?”
Nangong Jun Xi was furious again.
Damn this servant! He triggers him so easily!
Does he not exist in front of him?! He was standing here, but “his” eyes were always on someone else.
Was he not as good as the other guys?
Damn that 7th Prince! What the heck is his problem?! Why can’t she stare? Huh? Was it hindering him?!
He’s messed up like his senior brother!
The moment Le Yao Yao thought of the King of Hell, she felt a bit conflicted.
Ever since that night at the Ruyi tavern, the King of Hell has been giving her his icy face and the cold treatment.
Le Yao Yao was a bit speechless, but if he wanted to remain mad, then so be it. She couldn’t do anything about it.
“So, what does the 7th Prince want to say to servant?”
Le Yao Yao’s voice was cold and emotionless.
Seeing this, Nangong Jun Xi was more upset.
Because he realized that whenever Le Yao Yao was with Dongfang Bai, he would have unlimited things to say. In addition, he would have a smile on his face.
But it comes to him, Le Yao Yao would always be cool and collected. Deep down, he could sense his irritation.
After coming up with this realization, Nangong Jun Xi’s heart felt stuffed. Yet, he couldn’t request him to do anything.
He couldn’t request a servant to treat him better, right?!
He has way too much pride! Plus, he was the 7th Prince of the ancient kingdom of Khotan! How could he beg a eunuch?!?!
That was be absurd! He would only do it if he was insane.
So thinking of this, Nangong Jun Xi’s face turned nastier. But he didn’t forget his purpose for coming.
So, after rearranging his mood, Nangong Jun Xi made eye contact with Le Yao Yao and said, “I came here because I want to ask you what happened between you and senior brother?”
It has been days since then, yet his senior brother’s face was still so cold. He was colder than he had ever been.
From the tone of his senior brother’s voice, at the time, he thought the little servant had drowned.
But he wasn’t aware of what happened. Nangong Jun Xi only knew that his senior brother felt tricked.
So, he was extremely curious about what had happened that night. Nangong Jun Xi knew he cannot get the answer from his senior brother. So, he came to ask the little eunuch.
“That is between Prince Rui and I. If 7th Prince wants to find out, then 7th Prince can ask Prince Rui.”
Le Yao Yao didn’t want to tell Nangong Jun Xi what happened. After all, everyone has secrets they do not want to share.
Especially what happened that night….
The moment Le Yao Yao recalled what the King of Hell had done to her, she couldn’t help but feel infuriated.
Although he was Prince Rui and she was merely a servant, she still couldn’t accept it.
If it were someone else, the person probably wouldn’t dare to resist.
However, she was not from this ancient era.
During her 18 years of education in the 21st century, she was taught that humans were equal. There was no low or high social hierarchy. No one can force her to do something she doesn’t want to do. Even if he was the almighty King of Hell. So what?!
So although she could tell the King of Hell was purposely treating her coldly these days, she wasn’t going to apologize. Worse comes to worse, they can just ignore each other. That might be for the best!
The more Le Yao Yao thought about it, the more upset she became.
Now, her face had turned grumpy.
“Since the 7th Prince has nothing more to say, this servant will return now.”
