Chapter 42 A beauty in a peapod

TheZhi, Chu Yu couldn't look away It wasn't that he was particularly handso was rather…idiosyncratic

Rong Zhi was lying on his side on the stone platforainst the parasol tree near him Beneath him were four layers of cotton blankets, while even more were draped over hiant beauty into a cocoon Chu Yu had to control her gaze to prevent herself fro out how many layers he rapped in

When she was young, Chu Yu had read a fairytale It was about a prince wanting to find a true princess for his wife He went througha rainy night, a girl arrived at the castle who asked for a place to stay for the night She claimed that she was a true princess To prove this, the queen prepared a bed for the girl She placed a single pea beneath twenty-two mattresses and twenty layers of down blankets

The second day, they asked if she had slept well She replied that she barely even fell asleep, as there see her skin until it was black and blue Because of her unbearably tender skin, this princess was determined to be the real deal

Right now, Chu Yu also felt like putting soh he looked somewhat ridiculous in his current balled up state, underneath the soft blankets his face was so pale that it was almost transparent, his dark eyes half-lidded He looked like soile art piece that had been wrapped up in silk for protection, one that couldn't afford to be hurt

Seeing Chu Yu's astonishlanced down at himself and smiled helplessly ”I said I wanted to co this to ize for my ridiculous state, Princess”

He looked cal that had happened yesterday was nothinghis intentions, Chu Yu s it out of concern for you In the state you're in now, you can't suffer the chill of wind But…wouldn't such a thick layer of blankets press into your wounds?” Of course she couldn't forget or forgive what had happened yesterday But at theZhi's true intentions It was too early to publicly declare hinorance was perhaps the best plan now

That hen Chu Yu recalled that she had never seen the ill boy swords her head quickly toward the redness in the corner of her eye, she expected to see a skinny, pale , splendid red

Hua Cuo wasn't what one would call an exceedingly handsome man When studied separately, his features looked quite plain But all together, they eht red robesWhile his lips were pale and bloodless, they were fixed at a hard, proud angle, alht hurt so at him that he relied on expensive medicines to survive

He looked twenty-three or four In his hand was a sword that seehtly narrower and thinner than norht taint of red It wasn't clear if that was a reflection of his red clothing, or if that was its natural color

Seeing that Chu Yu forgot to ant s of yours under control, and restrain hi people at will If someone's hand slipped and he was killed, that would be terrible”

Theveiled behind his words was more than obvious, and was aat Yue Jiefei and cussing hier needed to restrain hied at Hua Cuo at top speed

That was exactly what Hua Cuo aiting for With a cold chuckle, his wrist trembled to deflect Yue Jiefei's attack After the first blow landed, neither of them seemed inclined to stop, but instead went back at it with even ht the further they drifted, al Zhi

Chu Yu couldn't quite distinguish theirZhi seenore the had said that if they really got into a fight, Hua Cuo would likely lose because his lack of staht noas the tiuess was correct or not

Even if she wanted to stop them, she would wait until they finished their ”extended battle” and there was a clear vieould win and ould lose Hua Cuo had a sharp tongue, and Yue Jiefei couldn't keep his temper in check; perhaps it was best that they both learned a lesson

Seeing that Rong Zhi had nothing to do, Chu Yu put the tray in her hands down on the platforht you soe Drink it while it's hot”

Rong Zhi stared at her for a entle s his body, he pulled his uninjured hand from the blankets and picked up the spoon on the tray He scooped up half a spoonful, and moved it to his mouth slowly
