C32 (2/2)

Ju Xiang thought, ”This can be considered to be forbidding young miss from taking action.” After thinking for a moment, he added in his heart, ”At least I took Miss's life.”

During dinner time, Zhongshu Officer told Nangong Waner about his decision calmly. Nangong Waner was so angry that he almost died from it. Zhongshu Officer turned a blind eye, looking like he did not care.

Nangong Waner then acted like a spoiled child towards Madam Yang, wishing that he could lie on the ground and roll around. Madam Yang wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

In the past, he would either die or live, half of his life. Zhongshu Officer never got angry, and now that he had heard the rumors that he liked acting, even Zhongshu Officer got angry, ”As expected, he's not his father”, Nangong Waner concluded, and started flipping through the painting again.

Recently, Ju Xiang had borrowed an interesting book called ”A Special Way of the Celestials and Demons”. Inside, there were some descriptions of underworld, ghosts, and strange things. Nangong Waner was very afraid, but the more he was afraid, the more he wanted to read them. Nangong Waner stood up and closed the window to sleep, he faintly felt that there was a person under the banyan tree in the courtyard, ”Mother!” Nangong Waner was extremely afraid, but he still looked alright.

”Believe in science and oppose superstition! ”Believe in science and oppose superstition!” After thinking for a while, Nangong Waner's heart started beating even faster. She closed her eyes and pushed open the window again, if she didn't confirm it, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Slowly, he opened his eyes. Nangong Waner blinked his eyes.

Nangong Waner felt her heart beating even faster, and she couldn't control herself from thinking more. The scenes that were described inside were instantly replayed into a TV show in her mind, and as the scenes played out one after another, she felt even more afraid.

He had no choice but to sit on the steps in front of the house and watch the grass rustle in the yard with wide eyes.

After staring for a while, he felt really sleepy, yet he didn't dare go back to sleep. He sat straight up on the stairs and was confused, shaking his head as if he was about to fall asleep.

Vaguely seeing Prince Zhan standing in front of his eyes, Prince Zhan reached out and gently caressed Nangong Waner's head. Nangong Waner asked him, ”Why are you here?”

The Prince Zhan spoke in all seriousness, ”Tonight, I came to the Zhongshu Officer Palace to discuss political matters with the Zhongshu Officer.”

”It seems like it's not good to be the prince either.” Nangong Waner felt that his voice was a little distant.

”Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?” Nangong Waner felt that Prince Zhan's tone was very gentle.

”I'm afraid of ghosts, so I don't dare to sleep.” Nangong Waner said while shaking his head.

Hearing Nangong Waner's words, the Prince Zhan did not know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing Nangong Waner sitting on the stairs and not wanting to sleep, not willing to go back to his room, without saying a word, he picked Nangong Waner up and carried him into the room, carefully placing him on Nangong Waner's bed.

Seeing that Nangong Waner had fallen asleep the moment he touched the bed, Prince Zhan covered him up with a thin blanket.

After doing all that, Prince Zhan stared at Nangong Waner for a long while before turning to leave.

”Don't go!” The sleeping Nangong Waner suddenly extended a hand out and grabbed onto Prince Zhan's wrist. Prince Zhan attempted to pull away, but Nangong Waner held tighter and tighter. Prince Zhan smiled charmingly, ”Since that's the case”, and pushed away Nangong Waner's blanket, Prince Zhan also crawled into Nangong Waner's bed, and pulled Nangong Waner into his embrace.

The sleeping Nangong Waner took the opportunity to arch his back in Prince Zhan's embrace a few times, as if he had found a comfortable position, and fell soundly asleep, without any further movements.

Prince Zhan also fell asleep along with him in a very good mood.

The next morning, Nangong Waner was sitting up on the bed in a daze. She looked at her bed and saw that it was the same as usual.

During breakfast, Nangong Waner asked Zhongshu Officer, ”Father, did Prince Zhan come to the mansion to discuss political matters with you last night?”

Zhongshu Officer was baffled by the question, ”Prince Zhan and I are separated by a few ranks, why are you looking for me to discuss political matters?”

Nangong Waner laughed, and thought, ”I'm really dreaming!” After thinking about it, he lowered his head and continued eating.
