"Of course I'm fine. Brother Ye's martial arts is so high, how could he hurt me? My beloved sister fell down, don't you think so, Brother Ye?"
After listening to Yang Xi speak for a while, her voice tickled his cochlea softly and softly, as if there were thousands of strands of black hair pulling at him. Ao Chenye felt that heart-beating feeling rising from the bottom of his heart again, and it came very quickly.
, it’s a bit difficult for him to suppress it.
This situation made him feel at a loss as to what to do, and he pretended not to care and rubbed his brows to avoid the emotion that was about to overwhelm him.
Ke'er immediately noticed that he seemed to be troubled, so she reached out and wanted to touch him with concern.
However, just as her hand came close to him, Ao Chenye turned sideways towards Yang Xi, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and actually avoided her touch.
This misalignment made Ke'er stunned for a moment, looking at his failed hand with dark eyes.
She raised her eyes and stared at him in confusion, staring intently into his eyes, instinctively wanting to explore something?
Ao Chenye felt a pain in his heart when he saw the flash of hurt on her face.
Why avoid her?
He asked himself, but he had no answer.
"Brother Ye..." Yang Xi clearly saw the strangeness between them, so she called him softly, drawing his attention to her.
Her voice tied his heart like a magic spell, making him involuntarily turn his eyes to her tenderly: "Huh?"
He responded gently, letting her hold his arm intimately without breaking away or feeling forced.
Ke'er looked at his tenderness towards Yang Xi and the familiar tenderness in his eyes. Such tenderness... had been shown to her before... could it be...
She was getting more and more panicked, but she didn't know what to do?
Take a deep breath and suppress the suspicion that is about to come out.
No, he only has a brother-sister relationship with Princess Yang Xi.
Her tender eyes... She must have been too suspicious to see it wrong, that must be it!
She kept comforting herself and soothing her messed up heart.
Trying to stay calm, Ke'er ignored what Princess Yang Xi wanted to say and said coquettishly: "Aochenye, it's getting late. I can't sleep without you."
This time, she impulsively ignored her restraint and her strong will, and acted coquettishly towards him to show weakness.
In the past, when he teased her about being unable to sleep without him, she always retorted harshly.
It turns out that for him, she could become so... weak...
After listening to her words, Ao Chenye did not respond to her immediately. He just looked at her silently, with a faint struggle in his eyes.
He found... that he didn't want to sleep with her anymore. Could it be that he was really getting tired of her?
For a while, no one spoke.
Ke'er looked at him breathlessly, waiting for his response.
Princess Yang Xi, on the other hand, is gloating about the good show. Bai Keer will definitely be embarrassed! Because she has already grasped Brother Ye's feelings!
After a period of weird silence, Ao Chenye's calm voice suddenly sounded - "Since it's getting late, let's go back and have a rest."
Ke'er's eyes lit up, her tense heartstrings relaxed, and the corners of her lips curved slightly before she opened her mouth to say yes in response.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xi was one step ahead of her and said sweetly to Ao Chenye: "Okay, I'm sleepy too. Brother Ye, why don't you take me home."
What?!
What does Princess Yang Xi want to do by being so clingy to Ao Chenye?!
When Ke'er was angry, Ao Chenye suddenly agreed softly: "Okay."
boom!
Ke'er only felt a bang on his head and his head began to feel dizzy.
He...what exactly does he mean?
She stared at him blankly, her heart that had just been relaxed tightened again.
And Aochen Ye, from beginning to end, only looked at Yang Xi, as if he couldn't leave her, but never looked at himself again.
Ke'er's face turned pale from the shock, trying hard to pretend that nothing happened, suppressing the sadness in her heart, trying to pretend to reach out to his big hand naturally as usual.
"Okay, let's go together." She smiled and pretended not to care.
However, her hand just touched his, and he suddenly took a step forward as if he didn't notice it. Inadvertently, he missed her touch again.
Where she didn't see it, his brows were clenched tightly, and his heart was torn by a strong and complex emotion.
He saw her reaching out and wanted to hold it as before, but a voice in his heart violently criticized him for not holding her hand again.
The feeling of guilt for Yang Xi when he held her hand almost annihilated him.
Therefore, he could not avoid her on his own and chose to take the first step to avoid facing her.
Staring blankly at their figures walking in front, Ke'er's face turned pale as she could no longer pretend to smile.
Ao Chenye is not like before, when she reaches out her hand, she will hold it tightly, but... avoids it?
Her little hands were trembling slightly, unable to accept this sudden change, so she stepped forward and ran forward.
"Ao Chen Ye!" She called him with a somewhat angry voice.
No, the feeling of being alienated one after another was so obvious, she had to figure it out!
Hearing her angry voice, Ao Chenye's steps froze, and he instinctively felt distressed and wanted to comfort her.
So, he turned back: "Little cutie, how come..."
Seeing his subconscious behavior, Yang Xi's hand holding his arm tightened slightly, and she interrupted him with a low and aggrieved voice: "Brother Ye, I'm really sleepy. Let's go quickly."
Here it is again, the feeling of being affected by her voice, feeling sorry for her, and the uncontrollable distress driving him to care for her, wanting to give her the best and not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
"Okay, let's go." He instead gently comforted the aggrieved people around him. The overwhelming emotion overwhelmed his attention to Ke'er, and he also forgot about Ke'er's anger.
Ke'er walked over and happened to see him coaxing Yang Xi, with such a submissive and doting expression. She had seen him show it to her countless times, but now...
She couldn't accept the surge of rationality, and her eyes trembled as she watched this scene with trembling eyes.
Gritting her teeth, her rational mind finally broke with a bang.
Her eyes were burning with anger, and she glanced sharply at Yang Xi, then stretched out her hand to pull Ao Chenye over, and the speed of her movement caught him off guard.
"Ao Chenye, what on earth are you..." She angrily wanted to question.
"Sister Ke'er, why are you so angry all of a sudden? Are you angry with Brother Ye? Why?" Yang Xi interrupted her suddenly and asked with an innocent and confused look on her face, but in her heart, she was coldly
Watching Ke'er's hands holding Ao Chenye.
Her pupils shrank sinisterly, and she would eliminate all actions that could allow her to have such intimate contact with Ao Chenye from now on!
In response to Ke'er's anger, Ao Chenye felt a pain in his head. He didn't know how to react. His face was slightly white with pain because something was tearing at his heart again, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.
Hypocritical woman, when did she become her sister Keer? She screamed so disgusting and hypocritical!
Ke'er first glared angrily at Ao Chenye, who looked confused, and then shouted angrily at Yang Xi, who always interrupted her: "This is a matter between Ao Chenye and me, you have nothing to do with it!"
She didn't know why, but now she felt that it was weird and very angry that Princess Yang Xi looked scared and weak when she was angry with her, so she yelled at her impulsively.
After she finished her words, Ao Chenye scolded her in a cold and deep voice: "Ke'er, how could you talk to Yang Xi like this? If I make you angry, you should get angry at me instead of spreading your anger to others.
It would be too rude to do this to someone involved. It seems that I have spoiled you!"
His voice became deeper and deeper as he spoke, like a sword light piercing Ke'er's heart.
She turned to him with trembling eyes, and what she saw was his mercilessly reproachful eyes, which shot into her eyes like knives.
Bearing his ruthlessly accusing gaze, Ke'er's lips trembled, and it was with great difficulty that she managed to make a sound from her choked throat: "Ao Chenye, you...are you scolding me?"
Looking at her pale expression of deep shock, Ao Chenye's eyebrows shrank, and his subconscious kept telling himself that he said harsh words, but - "Yes!" The uncontrollable words just blurted out.
Hearing this, Ke'er's eyes suddenly turned red and tears were shining.
My heart felt like it had been whipped hard, it hurt, but I couldn't scream.
Open mouth, speechless...
Seeing her looking at him blankly, as if she could not accept such criticism, Ao Chenye softened his tone and added: "Ke'er, as a woman who is the king of my country, you shouldn't be so disgraceful, it's so easy
Let the servants have something to talk about."
To attract talk? As a woman who is the king of his country? He... began to care about his identity...
Ke'er's eyes holding back tears looked at him fragilely, with unspeakable sadness in her eyes.
Grab his hand and relax little by little.
Ao Chenye had never talked about his superior status in front of her so seriously before, but now...
Is it just because of her that he yelled at his beloved sister Yang Xi?
She couldn't accept this conjecture. She wanted to prove whether Yang Xi was more important to him than she was to him.
So, she blurted out impulsively: "Is it for her?"
Seeing Ke'er losing her mind, Yang Xi's lowered eyes flashed with a sinister smile, and when she raised her eyes, innocent and afraid of facing her anger, she leaned towards Ao Chenye for shelter.
"Brother Ye, why are Sister Ke'er looking at me like this? Did Yang Xi do something wrong, so Sister Ke'er is angry with me?"
She was cautious and looked a little remorseful, as if she was afraid that she would really make Ke'er angry.
Seeing her timid expression, Ao Chenye felt a strong desire to protect her...
