The breath with a faint aroma hit his face and pierced his heart, itchy and warm.

Chu Rui condensed his face, and looked at the snow-white cheeks in front of him carefully in the moonlight.

She had a healthy flush on her cheeks, and her red lips opened and closed, revealing the white teeth inside.

Chu Rui got closer and closer, but suddenly stretched out his right hand, pinched Yuan Shanjia's nose, and had a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, which was stiff in the past.

"What? Still pretending to be asleep? Chu Rui said with a smile in his tone, and pinched her face again.

The slippery touch on his hand shook his heart.

If his subordinates saw it, they would definitely be surprised, and they couldn't believe that the man in front of him was his cold-faced master.

Yuan Shanjia's eyelashes were like startled butterflies, suddenly spreading their wings and taking off.

Her thick eyelashes fanned in the air, there was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes, and in the moonlight, her clear eyes reflected the bright-eyed man in front of her.

"Who's pretending to be asleep?" Yuan Shanjia sat up, slapped his hand away, and straightened his clothes, "Miss Ben is just closing her eyes and recuperating!" ”

"You're so loud, aren't you afraid of waking up that maid of yours?" Chu Rui reluctantly withdrew his hand, and swept her cherry lips without a trace, with a faint regret in his heart.

He hoped that Yuan Shanjia had really fallen asleep before.

"Miss Ben is not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Yuan Shanjia pretended to be arrogant and raised his head and sat on the bed and looked at him.

Ran Zhu is so smart, he guessed something a little earlier. And unless she shouts, Ran Zhu won't come in!

Chu Rui pinched her nose with a smile on his face.

"If you're not afraid, I'm naturally even more afraid."

With the light on his back, there is a moonlight behind him, which is very romantic.

Yuan Shanjia clapped his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't pinch Miss Ben's nose!" ”

She has always pinched him, but after a few years, she has become more bold and dares to pinch her nose.

Chu Rui withdrew his hand and looked at Yuan Shanjia fixedly.

It's been seven years since we last met.

The little girl who used to stand in front of him has grown up, and the baby fat on her face has disappeared without a trace.

He regretted that maybe he shouldn't have left in the first place.

If he hadn't left, he wouldn't have missed her so many years.

But if she didn't leave, she would be in endless danger.

Chu Rui's face was condensed, but there was a gentle aura around him.

Yuan Shanjia frowned and turned his face uncomfortably, "What are you looking at Miss Ben?" You haven't explained where you've been all these years! Haven't you told me how you became a prince? And ......"

As she spoke, she felt that it was too tiring to always talk about Miss Ben, and decided not to use the word.

"And your fiancée, what's going on?"

Chu Rui looked at her dotingly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Shanjia was a little unaccustomed to it.

She pounced on him and pinched his cheeks, "Why don't you answer?" Hurry up and explain what happened to your fiancée?! I don't even agree! You can't just take a wife! ”

Chu Rui caught her and lifted her ass with both hands, just like when she was a child.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he only said one sentence, "I never admit it." ”

Yuan Shanjia let go of his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "What do you mean by not admitting it?" Yes is yes! No is no! But I heard that your fiancée ran away? ”

She gloated a little, and suddenly thought that she seemed to have done a favor, and deeply felt that she had done too well.

"Xiao Jia is very happy?" Chu Rui asked, touching Yuan Shanjia's head.

Yuan Shanjia shook his head and said innocently, "How could it be? Little Rock, you are my good brother, and I have raised you for several years. I'm so sad that you are so good that you were run away from marriage by another woman. ”

As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes, leaned on his shoulder and pretended to be really sad.

Later, I felt that something was wrong, why was it warm under my buttocks.

She looked down and saw that Chu Rui was holding her hip with one hand and hugging her waist with the other to prevent her from falling.

Alas? Why did you hang on him?

Yuan Shanjia looked at the ground, and some couldn't come back to his senses.

And! Why did the small stones get so tall?

"Little stones? Why are you holding me? Yuan Shanjia held Chu Rui's shoulders with both hands, his eyes vicious.

"You pounced on yourself!" Chu Rui touched her earlobe, and her eyes were like stars.

"Really? I pounced on you and you hugged it? Whoever pounces on you, you have to hold it? Yuan Shanjia waited for Chu Rui with angry eyebrows.

It was as if as soon as he said a word, she was going to bite him.

The corners of Chu Rui's mouth continued to rise, "No, it will only catch you." ”

Yuan Shanjia patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Then you can put me down now." ”

"Okay." Chu Rui put it down as he said.

His fingers involuntarily retracted, feeling that Yuan Shanjia's body temperature was still on it.

He thought that even if she didn't say it, he would have to let it go.

If he doesn't let it go, what he can't stand is himself.

Yuan Shanjia jumped on the windowsill, pointed to a stool and said, "You sit there!" ”

Chu Rui did not refuse.

Yuan Shanjia asked, "Why did you grow so tall?" There was a look of disgust when he spoke.

Chu Rui looked at her straightly, "Didn't you always say that you wanted me to eat more and grow taller so that I could protect you?" ”

Yuan Shanjia's lips squirmed, and he wanted to say: Isn't that trying to motivate you to eat more? Every time I eat like a cat, so little.

"The little stone is taller now, and it can protect you." Chu Rui looked at Yuan Shanjia with a smile, and her shadow was reflected in his eyes.

Yuan Shanjia was stunned, and recalled his oath at the beginning.

She replied with a hippie smile, "Okay! After that, I was protected by the little stones! ”

After knowing that Chu Rui was the prince of Chu State, she went to check.

His current situation is not very good, and it can even be said that it is very bad.

His father, that is, the emperor of Chu, really favored him not as a concubine, but the son of another concubine.

Named Chu Rui the crown prince, firstly, because Chu Rui is the son of the former queen, secondly, because of the support of the former queen's mother's family and the support of the Wei family, and thirdly, the emperor of Chu wanted a target to help his favored son at the beginning.

The matriarchal forces only want to get power, and the support of the Wei family is only to get benefits, and cooperating with these two families is no different from seeking skin with the tiger.

Chu Rui is equivalent to a pawn in the game of several major forces, surviving in the cracks, and several parties don't take him very seriously.

Yuan Shanjia thought of this, he felt a little distressed, the shy and shy little stone turned into a cold-faced prince in the mouth of outsiders, how did those people practice him?

She looked down at Chu Rui, who was looking at her, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Chu Rui saw the hidden heartache in Yuan Shanjia's eyes, knowing that she was feeling sorry for herself, and at the same time knowing that she didn't believe in herself.

But it doesn't matter, he's not paying lip service.

A lot of things take time to prove.

He smiled and looked back at Yuan Shanjia, as long as he knew.

This time, he won't let go of his important people again.

He is no longer the little boy who is at the mercy of others and has nothing to rely on, he can already spread his wings and fly.

Yuan Shanjia slowly recounted the experience of these years and told him interesting stories that happened with his master.

Chu Rui also picked and talked about his own experience, some things were just brushed aside, but Yuan Shanjia saw through the difficulties.

As the two spoke, the moonlight had shifted away from one side of the window and shone in through the other window.

"You sleep." Chu Rui said, his tone was not hurried or slow.

Yuan Shanjia nodded, "I'll sleep and you will leave!" ”

Chu Rui agreed with a smile.

When the two met again seven years later, there was no trace of unfamiliarity, but a more tacit understanding.
