Chapter 24 (1/2)
Chapter 24: His Ihness, the Crown Prince
That day, Fang Hua told s, but my memory was too hazy to reed to hold on to one thing: Han Zichuan was a very special person Fang Hua thought he was very special
I couldn’t describe the feelings I felt upon hearing those words… I could only toss and turn on the bed, ht
Dawn ca, when I heard a noise
I tidied myself up a bit, tiedoutside, a fresh greenbranch behind his back Soft light spilled on his person, creating a vision so beautiful that it seemed irreverent and profane to even set eyes on his person
“Aren’t you going to let me in?” he smiled softly
“Yifu, look at what you’re saying” I didn’t even have time to move out of the way or invite him myself before he brushed me aside and walked indoors He looked around a bit, brows furrowing, before heading towards the bed Lifting up his robes, he took a seat

He really acted casually around me
“Shao’er, why are you being so distant?” he raised his head and looked over, s as he patted the space beside him
I did as told, sticking my butt to sit by a corner
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to get closer
Just, whenever I s off his person, I would start thinking of all sorts of foolish fancies, wondering exactly what the relationshi+p was between him and Han Zichuan Perhaps…
Han Zichuan was Fang Hua’s real foster son
Fang Hua sighed and turned around I gave a start, heart pounding Truthfully speaking, I didn’t knohen I started reacting like this I only knewthat was almost unbearable, yet hard to understand
“Shao’er, look at you You’re agitated again”
I forced a s from me?”
“I told Zichuan to prepare some clothes for you, see if they fit” His hands touched a wrapped-up bundle of clothing resting on his knees
“Yifu, the clothes you giveThere’s still robes fro I haven’t worn them yet”
He s to control his expression Fingers shaking, he opened up the cloth packaging
Inside was a unique, brightly-colored pale pink fabric Beneath that was a dark red silk embroidered with apricots and butterflies
I blinked a few times
Was this for me to wear?
Why was it so girly?
His eyes were gentle and soft as a woman’s “Zichuan picked this, the et me one too This material is really beautiful”
I seized the package, trehly appraise it It was the type of clothing worn by gentle and graceful females

“You really want sohly doubtful He didn’t reply, but took my hand and spoke
“Shao’er, I didn’t think enough of you these few years I neglectedme another smile My heart violently shrank back Panicked, I quickly avertedAll I could hear was that furious thu uncontrollably
Yifu, you beautiful blockhead
It’s not just females, but I bet all the men in the world who saw your face would have the same reaction
“What are you spacing out for? Why not hurry up and change into those clothes?”
I nodded and hid behind the folding screen, dazedly lifting the two layers of fabric I moved them around a bit and finally slipped them on
It felt a little weird
Though I couldn’t tell exactly how…
Before when I put on my robes, they ide and loose, with lots of extra space left over
This tiht I liftedmy sleeve to cover my chest, and aardly walked back out
He got up involuntarily fro ht
“What is it?” I tugged and pulled at the e?”
“I wouldn’t” He gently stroked rown up”
I blanked out
He took htly on my shoulders so I could sit down, and started to comb my hair…
Though I’d lived with Fang Hua for so long, he’d never been so inti his drunken periods The way he was acting now made me feel a little restless
As seen in the bronze h his face was filled with a harmonious warmth, he still exuded a tranquil mildness, and the teardrop-shaped mole at the corner of his eye was a dark red that startled one to see
“Yifu…you…”
Recently, he’d been acting a little differently than usual To be closer to a person was obviously a good thing…why did I feel so disturbed and extremely uneasy?
He rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the wooden hairpin off the table, sticking it through my hair with a tilt of his head
“Shao’er, I’d like to request one thing from you”
I saw the careful, cautious expression on his face, leaning in so close to me The two people in the mirror looked like they were about to touch
His breaths brushed againstsense of joy rose withinwithinwith it a sense of impatient anticipation
Not just one request Even if he asked for the hardest thing in the world, I’d still do it for him if I could
I raisedas yifu tells me to, I’ll do it”
“Is that so” he smiled
I hurriedly noddedthese clothes back off, I’d still do it…
“Let me check your pulse…”
Confused, I nevertheless gave him my hand
His eyes brightened, “Can you describe your symptoms to me?”
“Swollen stos, occasional stomachaches…”
“That’s really, really, wonderful” I don’t knohere he got ink, brush and paper fro erness “What else?”
