Chapter 9: Overboard

I think I can describe my next days as hot with water, life is worse than death, but I can't blame me, I just listened to General Shen's dictation once, and I wrote it again, I am not a genius, how can I remember it so accurately.

At this time, I was kneeling beside the King of Joy with my head bowed and listening to the reprimand of Mrs. Ru beside him, while he continued to eat with a nonchalant face, as if none of us existed.

I just put his most hated coriander in his food, and he was so angry. I was unhappy and rolled my eyes at him in my heart, and I accidentally showed an unconvinced expression on my face, which directly attracted a heavy slap from Mrs. Ru.

"Little hoof, you dare not take the words of the prince in your eyes!" She spat and flew, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she stared at me with her hands crossed on her waist, looking like a hostess.

I was a little stunned by her, and my anger came up all at once. No one has ever beaten me since I was a child, even if I got into trouble in the Phantom Sword Palace, the masked man just punished me to stay in a small black room, she was just an insignificant person in my eyes, why beat me!

The more I thought about it, the more unconvinced I became, and I glared back at her. She obviously didn't expect me to have the guts, and the spittle in her mouth became more and more, and she raised her hand again and again, wanting to slap me again.

I didn't mean to be afraid, so I stared at her so hard, thinking that if she dared to give me another slap, I would definitely let her lie on the ground immediately.

Perhaps she was shocked by the momentum in my eyes, but the raised jade hand did not fall, and when she saw that I was not afraid of her majesty at all, she immediately put on the appearance of a little bird, and cried to the King of Ease.

I saw that King Xiaoyao was still chewing the food in his mouth expressionlessly, eating intently, and then slowly drank a full bowl of soup, and after he put down the dishes and chopsticks, he glanced at me coldly and said, "The anger is also out, and the people are also beaten, what else do you want." ”

Although his eyes were staring at me, his words were for Mrs. Ru. Sure enough, Mrs. Ru's originally excited emotions instantly quieted down, she hid her face with a silk handkerchief and wept, and from time to time showed one eye to look at the face of the King of Ease, not daring to make a sound.

Looking at Mrs. Ru's deflated appearance, the bad mood was swept away. I lowered my head and tugged at the corners of my mouth slightly, bringing a burst of hot pain, which made me frown again and snort softly.

"Now you know it hurts?" The faint voice sounded again, and I looked up at him, and there was a faint concern in his deep eyes like the sea, and he quickly regained his composure, so fast that I felt that I must have been dazzled just now.

Ignoring Mrs. Ru beside him, he stood up and came to me, stretched out his hand to pull me up, and motioned for me to follow him.

I walked slowly behind him in the garden, watching him walk silently in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking for a while, and feeling that the atmosphere was too dull, so I coughed twice.

The King of Joy paused, and he turned his head to look at me, still with a cold expression. I smirked at him, swallowed and explained, "It's an itchy throat... Itchy throat..."

He raised his eyebrows, brushed his fingers on my red and swollen cheeks, and said softly: "Is it that this king usually spoils you too much, making you forget your identity and forget the rules, huh?" As he spoke, his fingers deliberately pressed heavily a few times, causing me to cry out in pain.

"The prince is merciful, the villain really knows that he is wrong, and the villain will never forget the fact that the prince doesn't like to eat coriander next time." As I spoke, I dodged the attack of his fingers, but he seemed to be addicted to playing, and poked him several times, so that tears flowed out of my eyes.

In the hazy eyes of tears, I actually saw a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, the fingers that were originally poking me were changed to a flick, and the maids and attendants around him passed by quickly with their heads down, but I still saw the blush on their faces with my peripheral vision, and I suddenly found that my current behavior with him was too ambiguous, such a feeling, like... It's like flirting!

I saw that the figure of the King of Freedom was getting closer and closer to me, and I didn't understand what he wanted to do, so I could only step back vigorously, and when one foot was already in the air, I was stunned for a moment and looked back, and saw a blue wave behind me, and it was too late to stop the body that was falling into the water.

At the last moment, I subconsciously grabbed the placket of the King of Joy with my backhand, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, obviously I didn't think that I would pull him, and by the time he reacted again, it was too late, and I heard a loud bang, and he and I both fell into the river.

The cold, biting water rushed through the clothes into the skin and then into the bone marrow. I'm not an animal that lives in the water, and I've always been an idiot for such complicated things as swimming, gulping out of water into my mouth and nose, and the feeling of suffocation occupies all my sensory nerves, and I can only watch myself sink deeper and deeper, and my body becomes more and more weak.

Maybe I was hallucinating, I felt like I was being put on a ventilator, and a lot of fresh air poured into my mouth, making me greedily inhale.

Only, when did the ventilator become so soft? And it will move on its own! When I opened my eyes, I saw a deep sea that was quiet, and I saw that there was a mesmerizing tenderness in the deep sea, and I saw myself wrapping my arms around his neck and pressing myself tighter.

No, I'm a man, how can I be like this, and how can he be like this! I looked at him with wide eyes and panic, but his body was hugged very tightly, and he crossed the air into my mouth, and swam with me with all his might, and when our heads were all out of the water, he refused to leave, and lingered on my lips for a long time before gradually letting go.

As soon as the King of Joy left me, I immediately pushed his body away, but I didn't expect that it was only a second's effort, and I began to sink down again, but fortunately his arms were long enough, and I was only gently carried by him, and fell into that strong embrace.

"If you sink any further, this king will not save you." Though he had said this, he held me tighter than before, and dragged me ashore with the help of the attendants on the shore.

Although it is early spring, the weather is still cold. I had been soaking in the water for a while, and the temperature on my body had long since been absorbed, and none of them cared about bringing the blankets and clothes to the King of Pleasure, except for a maid who did not look very old, and she held a thick cloak in her hand, and walked up to me and immediately wrapped me in trembling.

"Thanks... I was so cold that I couldn't even finish a sentence, and the maid just smiled and left, so fast that I didn't have time to ask her name.

I squatted on the ground and turned my head to look at the King of Ease, who was surrounded by a crowd of people, and thought that he should not have time to take care of me at this time, so I gritted my teeth and slowly stood up, and walked towards my room step by step.
