CHAPTER 269 (1/2)

Collapsing 8 Boundaries 13

Jiang Xie used to come and wake Xie Xi up in the morning. This might be a strange place but the habit he maintained for so long couldn’t be changed.

In particular, he had such a dream again and felt a deeper guilt. He couldn’t help wanting to see Xie Xi.

He couldn’t have imagined that he would see such a sight when the door opened.

The national teacher, who was usually covered up with a cloak, had a slightly open collar and he was holding Xie Xi who had messy clothes.

Xie Xi’s cheeks were red and there were pale pink marks on his neck. His clothes were messy and most of his shoulders and chest were exposed, while his long legs were covered. The rounded toes exposed to the outside were like dew covered flower bags. They were cute and sexy.

Early in the morning, two people in the same bedroom…

Jiang Xie’s head buzzed and his fingers pierced his palm so strongly that he seemed to break his fingers.

At this moment, Xie Xi couldn’t wash himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

He hadn’t promised anything to Leo but they were certain to have a love affair in the future. The current opening method was like having an affair and parting ways!

Xie Xi was panicked even though the national master didn’t let him go.

The national teacher felt the tightness of his body and his eyes sank. “What’s the matter?” He was asking Leo.

The lion shifted his gaze away. “Nothing.” It was spoken through gritted teeth.

Xie Xi awkwardly spoke. “You go to the dining room first. I have to go to the medicinal bath.

The lion was silent.

Xie Xi also told the national teacher. “Put me down, I can walk by myself.”

The national teacher leaned down and whispered, “Your clothes…”

Xie Xi, “!” There were still the aftereffects of the dream!

This dialogue had another meaning in Leo’s ears. He felt sour and that it was stupid to stay here. He couldn’t maintain the etiquette as he turned and strode away.

The national teacher stared thoughtfully at his back.

Xie Xi didn’t have time to guess what this person was thinking.

The effect of the medicinal bath was very good. The taste was unpleasant and the skin felt a bit itchy when soaking in it but Xie Xi felt unprecedentedly light after coming out of it.

He was like a plant full of water. His body was full of vitality.

Xie Xi’s mood was much better. “The medicinal bath is really comfortable.” Unfortunately, he didn’t know the herbs and couldn’t draw them himself.

The national teacher stared at Xie Xi’s chest with sad eyes and whispered with lowered eyelashes, “It is this subordinate’s privilege to worry after Your Majesty.”

In fact, this national teacher was quite strange. He had a high position and could claim to be the minister. Yet he used ‘this subordinate’ and his identity was almost like a personal attendant.

However, it was true that he was personally taking care of Xie Xi one-sidedly.

Xie Xi didn’t want to ask a lot and could only temporarily speculate on their previous business. Did the national teacher start as the beast king’s servant?

The daytime clothes were grander than last night. They were black and Xie Xi’s skin was white, making the black royal clothes especially stand out.

This outfit had a waist section. Once the maid tied it well for Xie Xi, the eyes of the national teacher kept drifting to his waist.

Xie Xi gazed at him through the mirror. “I don’t look good, right?” He was too thin and his waist was too weak.

The national teacher retracted his gaze. “…It looks good.”

Xie Xi didn’t care. “Once my body is better, I have to eat more food.” Then he would match the clothing.

The national teacher stared at him. “Your Majesty…”

Xie Xi wondered, “Hrmm?”

“I want you to be healthy and prosperous.”

This seemed a bit sudden? However, Xie Xi’s body meant he really needed lucky blessings and he replied, “I’ll borrow your words.”

At breakfast, they saw Leo.

The little lion was sitting at the end of a long table. Half the meat hadn’t been eaten and he stared at the plate like the meat was a heinous sinner.

Xie Xi inwardly sighed but it wasn’t good to say anything in front of the national teacher.

He ate breakfast but Leo didn’t eat anything.

The national teacher leaned closer to Xie Xi, almost attached to his ears. “I have a meeting. Your Majesty, would you like to go and see it?”

Leo’s gaze shifted over but he took only one glance before retracting it.

Xie Xi saw the look but what could he do?

He was such a slag…

“I won’t go.” Xie Xi told the national teacher. “You can decide on your own.”

“Do you want them to come to the small hall to see you?”

The meeting was in the main hall while the small hall was equivalent to the royal study room and was the king’s own study.

Xie Xi was afraid that seeing more people would reveal something and he said, “No, you have been doing very well. I’m relieved.”

The national teacher didn’t insist and he glanced over at Leo.

Leo’s brain was on their intimate words and Xie Xi’s trust in the national teacher.

He clenched his fists again, as if it was the only way to stop the stinging of his heart.

Of course, Xie Xi trusted this person. Two people who shared the same bed, what couldn’t be trusted?

Leo got up and made a polite bow. “Your Majesty, I have finished. I will go back first.”

His tone was cold and hard, containing a fiery temper that a young person couldn’t hold back.

Xie Xi told him, “Wait.”

In the end, Leo didn’t leave. It wasn’t because he was afraid of disobeying the king but because he didn’t want to defy Xie Xi who raised him to adulthood.

Xie Xi spoke to the national teacher. “You are busy so go. I will take a walk with Little Xie to the back garden.”
