Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 184 Night Bath (Part )

The weather in early spring always changes rapidly. It's still a bit chilly in the morning, but as midday approaches, the sun rises high in the sky, shining on the roof beams of the houses, and the house is also warmed by the sun.

The incense burning on the small flower table beside the bed had burned out at some point, and the wisps of green smoke no longer rose. Only a little ash remained under the incense burner, which still emitted a faint sweet fragrance.

Tao Yao fell asleep out of exhaustion at some point, and when she woke up she found herself resting her head on Chu Huanjun's arm, with a lock of his hair in her hand.

Chu Huanjun was facing towards him, sleeping soundly, with a pure and harmless look on his face, just like a child.

Tao Yao stirred and suddenly felt a soreness all over her body. She had wanted to sneak away while Chu Huanjun was still asleep, but when she looked up, she saw her wet clothes still hanging on the hanger outside the tent, clearly not yet completely dry.

Tao Yao shrank back into the quilt somewhat embarrassedly, and suddenly felt warmth on her back - a strong arm wrapped around her waist, pressing her in place so that she could no longer move.

"You...are you awake?"

Tao Yao raised her eyes and smiled unexpectedly, meeting Chu Huanjun's inquiring gaze.

Obviously, he was not asleep just now, he was just pretending to sleep.

"What? You want to turn your back on me after this?"

The hand that had been lingering on her back suddenly moved upwards, and when she wasn't paying attention, he grabbed the back of her head and forced her to move closer to his lips.

Chu Huanjun curled the corners of his lips, rubbed Tao Yao's nose with his nose, and looked into her eyes closely.

"Where do you want to run to?" His voice was gentle, a little hoarse from being still asleep, and it actually sounded strangely attractive, as if it could pull you into falling asleep with him again.

Tao Yao blinked guiltily and retorted, "Who said I wanted to escape?"

"In that case..."

Chu Huanjun's eyes, full of water, curved up along with the corners of his mouth, like a pair of crescent moons. He grabbed Tao Yao's wrist, turned her over, and pulled her under him again, gazing down at her from above.

"I won't let go easily again," he said.

Tao Yao took a deep breath and smelled the rich fragrance of pine wood. His heart was broad and warm, and there was an aura that made her unable to withdraw.

Sometimes, Tao Yao felt like a grass growing on a wild ridge, and Chu Huanjun was this mountain, majestic and towering, supporting her and preventing her from falling into the abyss of the valley.

But once the cracks in this mountain collapse, she will have no soil to survive.

Chu Huanjun leaned down, and countless strands of black hair like waterfalls poured onto Tao Yao's chest. He wanted to kiss her again, and Tao Yao stretched out her arms and hugged his smooth back.

Tao Yao was about to say something when Chu Huanjun's hand immediately touched her lips, blocking all the words she wanted to say.

"Don't talk..." His voice was low and soft, sounding more like a request than a command. "You always do this, saying things that make me sad. I don't want to hear it."

Tao Yao was stunned. She hadn't realized she had the ability to break the heart of the hardened Prince Yi. When? What had she said? In an instant, Tao Yao racked her memory, searching for clues to her past.

Tao Yao pushed his hand away and asked with a smile, "What do you want to hear?"

Chu Huanjun really thought about it for a moment, then resumed his playful smile. He buried his head in Tao Yao's neck and murmured, "I want to hear you say...you like me too, you can't leave me, you want to stick with me every day."

Tao Yao suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body and pretended to push him: "That's so corny."

"Then I'm just corny..." Chu Huanjun raised his eyes and smiled at him. His eyes were watery and there was a little red at the corners of his eyes. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't slept all night.

"However, I'm only mushy towards Xiaotao. If Xiaotao doesn't like it, I won't do that again." He said, and there was obviously some pitiful meaning in his words, trying to gain sympathy from Tao Yao.

Chu Huanjun has always been good at judging people, and the sympathetic Tao Yao really fell for his tricks and immediately began to comfort him guiltily.

"So, do you like me or not?" Chu Huanjun pressed. "Yes, I do, right?"

Tao Yao looked at Chu Huanjun steadily. The word "like" was like a piece of taffy, stuck in her throat, unable to be swallowed or spoken out.

"If you don't tell me, I'll assume you like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Huanjun hugged Tao Yao tightly in his arms again and took a deep breath of the scent on her neck.

Just when Chu Huanjun was about to enjoy this hard-earned time together, someone knocked on the door.

Song Zhishou's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the person you are looking for has been found."

Chu Huanjun responded impatiently, his voice lazy: "I know."

Song Zhishou was stunned for a moment outside the door, then hesitantly said, "Your Highness... why... haven't you gotten up yet? It's already noon..."

If Chu Huanjun had the chance to give Song Zhishou a kick, he would have done it long ago. Tao Yao smiled and patted his back to calm him down, but he yawned three times in a row out of sleep and yelled at the door, "Stop talking! If you keep talking, I'll deduct your monthly salary."

As soon as these words were spoken, the outside of the door really became quiet.

Chu Huanjun gave Tao Yao an embarrassed smile and said softly, "I'm sorry, I still have to be busy today."

Tao Yao smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, you've been with me all morning."

"Yeah." Chu Huanjun nodded, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and quickly got himself ready. When Tao Yao looked up at him again, he was already dressed neatly and handsomely, looking very energetic.

Chu Huanjun took out one of his own clothes and threw it to Tao Yao, saying, "I have been single for many years and have never bought women's clothes. You can just make do with mine for now."

Tao Yao took the clothes, held them in her arms, and stared at him for a long while. Chu Huanjun was a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? You don't know how to put on clothes? Do you want me to put them on for you?"

"Stop!" Tao Yao immediately interrupted his active thoughts and said, "How can I put on my clothes if you don't turn around?"

Chu Huanjun looked at her with amusement and asked, "I've seen every part of you before, and yet you're saying something so strange..."

Before he could finish his words, Tao Yao grabbed a shoe and threw it at his face, making him feel very embarrassed.

Chu Huanjun reluctantly took the shoe in his hand, smiled and compromised, "Okay, okay, I'll turn around."

After saying that, he turned around obediently, leaving his back facing Tao Yao.

Tao Yao quickly put on her clothes while making arrangements: "You go through the main door and I'll go out through the window. Do you have a ladder or rope? I don't have the skills to scale walls and jump over rooftops like you do, and I'm afraid I'll fall to my death."

Chu Huanjun asked curiously, "Huh? Why do you want to go out through the window?"

Tao Yao immediately said, "Nonsense! Do you want others to know?"
