Chapter 168: CH 168

The cool breeze from outside the house blew on his soaked clothes and Tang Qi Yuan shivered involuntarily, reaching out to hug Sheng Cen’s neck and leaning into his arms.

Sheng Cen’s body was hot, and even though he was as wet as he was, he was still emitting a constant stream of heat.

“Now you know it’s cold?” Sheng Cen glanced at him coldly, his breathing was a bit heavy because he was holding him in his arms, and although he spoke with dislike, his hands held Tang Qi Yuan a little tighter, slightly tilting his body sideways to shield him from the wind.

Tang Qi Yuan did not retort, and honestly buried his head in Sheng Cen’s arms.

As Sheng Cen walked forward step by step, the tip of Tang Qi Yuan’s nose would occasionally touch Sheng Cen’s chest, which smelled clean and fresh.

Tang Qi Yuan closed his eyes and said: “Sheng Cen, you were too rude just now.”

Sheng Cen’s voice contained an unresolved anger, “Wasn’t Chen Zi Zhan rude when he kicked you down? Or did you think you looked good when you fell into the water?”

Tang Qi Yuan was depressed, and after thinking about it, he asked, “Nothing will happen if he’s in the water for a day, right?”

“He’s in much better health than you.” Sheng Cen carried him out of the school gate, put him in the car, took a towel and threw it in his arms, saying angrily: “If you have time to care about that bastard Chen Zi Zhan, you might as well hurry up and wipe the water off your body.”

“I don’t care about him, I’m just afraid I’ll get you involved.”

Sheng Cen sneered and turned to the driver: “Turn up the air conditioning.”

The driver looked blankly at the two soaked chickens, but when he heard Sheng Cen’s order, he nodded and turned on the air conditioner.

Tang Qi Yuan picked up the towel and wiped the tips of her dripping hair, looked up at Sheng Cen and asked: “Where are you taking me?”

“Home.” Sheng Cen grabbed the towel and wiped his hair vigorously.

“Your home?” Tang Qi Yuan let him rub his hair, raising his eyes slightly and asking in a low voice.

“En.”

“No need, I’ll just go back to my own house and take a shower.” Tang Qi Yuan hurriedly shook his head, not wanting to go to Orchid Palace in such a mess to trouble Empress Xia.

“Your house? The place where you and your brother live? How will he take care of you now that he’s in class? By the time you faint at home by yourself, no one will even know.”

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me.” Tang Qi Yuan blinked and whispered.

“Cut the crap.” Sheng Cen threw the towel away and impatiently found a thin blanket from the trunk and threw it over Tang Qi Yuan’s head.

The wide, soft thin blanket covered Tang Qi Yuan’s head, revealing only a fair chin. Tang Qi Yuan had been cold, so his face was very white, reflecting his increasingly rosy lips.

Tang Qi Yuan did not reach out to remove the thin blanket, but smiled sweetly in a silly manner, “Sheng Cen, thank you.”

Although his table mate’s temper was a bit bad, he knew that his table mate was caring for him, it was just that the way his table mate expressed it was too rude. Just now his table mate was the first to jump into the water to save him, he saw it all from inside the water.

Sheng Cen looked at his bright red lips, his gaze wavered, and he unnaturally averted his eyes. He took the thin blanket off his head and said nonchalantly: “Drape the blanket over your body.”

Tang Qi Yuan obediently did as he was told, reaching up to put the blanket on his body and draping it over him, he looked up at Sheng Cen’s damp hair and said: “You should wipe it off too.”

Sheng Cen had just been busy with him and hadn’t bothered to clean up after himself, and now Sheng Cen’s face and hair were still covered in water.

“En.” Sheng Cen responded indifferently, picking up the towel that had just been used by Tang Qi Yuan and was already a little wet, and anyhow wiped it on his head a few times.

Tang Qi Yuan wrapped himself in the blanket and smiled, thinking that the way his table mate wiped his hair was very much like the husky his fourth brother had raised, but of course, he only dared to secretly think it, he absolutely must not let his table mate know, or else his bad-tempered table mate would definitely get angry again.

The driver was worried about the two young masters catching a chill and drove the car very fast.

Sheng Cen took Tang Qi Yuan straight back to Orchid Palace and had the doctor there give Tang Qi Yuan a brief check-up. After the doctor’s examination, he said that Tang Qi Yuan was not injured, but had only suffered from a bit of chill from the wind.

After taking a bath, Tang Qi Yuan sat on the sofa wearing Sheng Cen’s clothes, holding the ginger tea that Empress Xia had personally made for him in his hand, drinking it in small sips. The ginger tea was spewing white hot puffs of steam, it was extraordinarily warm in the mouth. The chill that invaded his body just now seemed to have been dispelled a lot, and his whole person was suffused with a lazy warmth.

Sheng Xi took a blanket and covered his legs, raising his hand and gently stroking his hair, his gaze gentle, as if he was comforting him.

Tang Qi Yuan’s nose was a little sour, and he couldn’t help but secretly sigh in his heart that His Majesty really didn’t know how to cherish, if there was no Sheng Lian and Madam Zhen Wei, Empress Xia had such a gentle temper, and Sheng Xi and Sheng Cen were so outstanding, their family would have been happy.

It’s a pity that there is no ifs, everyone should be responsible for their own choices, and so should His Majesty. Fortunately, Empress Xia, Sheng Xi and Sheng Cen are not weak, and he believes they will have a good future.

After lunch, although Tang Qi Yuan drank ginger tea, his physique was too weak and he still had a fever.

As he lay in Sheng Cen’s bed, eyes closed and feverishly dazed, he felt people constantly coming in and out of the room, and the doctor seemed to have come by.

Empress Xia whispered something softly and a cooling patch was placed on his forehead, which was cool and comfortable.

After a while, the room gradually quietened down and everyone seemed to have left, but he could feel Sheng Cen sitting next to him, reaching out to touch his forehead every now and then. He wanted to open his eyes to see Sheng Cen, but his eyelids were so heavy that he could not open them, so he could only let himself drift off to sleep.

He slept very deeply this time, and it was already evening when he woke up. He lay on his side, facing the window. When he opened his eyes, he saw the dim sky outside. After shaking his head, he realised it’s already dark.

The evening lights are lit outside the house, the light shining into the room. Tang Qi Yuan stayed for a while before moving and turned back to see Sheng Cen standing in front of the full-length mirror, putting on his clothes, no lights were on inside the room, only a small dim light was lit in front of the mirror. Sheng Cen was wearing a white shirt and was bowing his head to put on his cufflinks. He should be worried that he would wake Tang Qi Yuan, so he was very careful and quiet.

Tang Qi Yuan saw him in this kind of suit for the first time and could not help but fix his gaze, a little lost in thought. Sheng Cen usually wore casual clothes and had a stern and handsome look, but now he was wearing a suit, his posture was clear and bright, the hostility in his body had been restrained, there was a sense of maturity in his exquisiteness, and his young face looked extraordinarily charming and handsome.

Tang Qi Yuan could already imagine how charming he would be as an adult, and it was only at this moment that it dawned on him that his table mate is the real second prince of the empire, the rightful heir to the throne, and naturally had a noble spirit.

Sheng Cen saw him awake, turned the light on, turned his head and smiled, came over and asked: “How do you feel?”

The light suddenly brightened up, and Tang Qi Yuan squinted for a moment to adjust before looking up at Sheng Cen and saying: “Much more comfortable, it seems less uncomfortable.”

Sheng Cen reached out and probed his forehead, the corners of his lips curved into a smile, “No more fever.”

Tang Qi Yuan nodded obediently, his eyes were a little watery from the fever, he had sweated a lot earlier and the black hair on his forehead was stuck to his cheeks.

Sheng Cen helped him to tuck his broken hair behind his ears, his gaze slightly dropping, he couldn’t help but gently touch his face that was red from sleep, moving his hand away after a slight touch, looking at him and whispering: “The doctor said you had a cold, after the fever passes, pay attention to rest and you will be fine, try to wear more clothes when you go out in the next two days, don’t catch a cold again.”

“En, got it.” Tang Qi Yuan sat up from the bed, his head was still a bit dizzy because he had just got up, he leaned against the bed and said: “Does my brother know?”

“Yes, I’ve called him to inform him that you won’t be going back tonight.”

“Ok.” Tang Qi Yuan nodded, it was getting dark and he was too embarrassed to bother the driver to drive him back, he looked down at the clothes he was wearing and said: “I want to take a shower.”

He had sweated when he was sleeping, and now his body is sticky and he felt a little uncomfortable.

“Wait for a while before you wash.” Sheng Cen pressed him back into a sitting position, covered him with the blanket, and then walked out. After a while, Sheng Cen came back with a bowl of nutritious porridge in his hand.

He handed the porridge to Tang Qi Yuan and said in a warm voice: “Eat something before you get up.”

Tang Qi Yuan took the porridge and opened the lid, at a glance he knew that the porridge was cooked by Empress Xia, the rice was soft and sticky and the fragrance was fresh. When he smelled the refreshing smell, his stomach unconsciously growled twice, only then did he feel that he was really a bit hungry, he picked up the spoon and eagerly took two sips.

“Slow down.” Sheng Cen helped him adjust the pillow behind him to a comfortable position so that he could pad his back and lean against the head of the bed.

Tang Qi Yuan nodded, feeling a little more comfortable in his stomach, and gradually slowed down his speed of drinking the porridge, “Auntie’s cooking is so delicious.”

“She’s not here, your mouth doesn’t need to be so sweet.” Sheng Cen looked at him and smiled, taking a tissue and wiping the corners of his mouth for him, before standing up and going back to the mirror and continuing to put on his cumbersome outfit.

“Where are you going?” Tang Qi Yuan looked at the clothes on Sheng Cen’s body and asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, Sheng Cen was dressed so formally, he should be going out.

“Going to the front yard.” Sheng Cen raised his eyes indifferently and said without any extra emotion: “Today, the old man is celebrating his birthday and is holding a charity auction at the palace, I have to go over there.”

Tang Qi Yuan nodded, understanding that today was supposed to be His Majesty’s birthday, so on such occasions, whether they wanted to or not, Empress Xia and Sheng Cen had to be there, and as for Sheng Xi, he heard in previous years that he was not well, so His Majesty had given him special permission for him not to go there.

Everyone felt that this was His Majesty’s affection for the First Prince, but Tang Qi Yuan understood that this was because His Majesty did not want Sheng Xi to appear in front of people, but Sheng Xi himself also did not want to go out, so no one had raised any objections over the years.

“Are you going?” Sheng Cen suddenly asked, raising an eyebrow lightly as he looked at the clothes rack where a suit sat, looking at the size, it should have been prepared for Tang Qi Yuan.

He said breezily as he straightened his cuffs: “If you’re interested, go over and have some fun, if not, stay and rest.”

“What’s so fun about it?” Tang Qi Yuan rubbed his eyes and glanced out of the window, the direction of the palace was brightly lit and occasionally came the sound of noisy and boisterous people, it seemed that guests were already arriving one after another.

“Fun……” Sheng Cen tied his bow tie and looked at himself in the mirror with a sneer, “You can see a bunch of hypocrites there.”
