I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince
Chapter 69
Su Xi's cheeks were very hot, and his heart was going crazy. Did she not make it clear enough?
How could she make it more clear?!
Did she have to use a loudspeaker to announce it?!
But since things had already come to this, it was better to do it in one go.
Su Xi grabbed his pajama pants with both hands and said in a low voice, "It means … Lu Huan, I think I also like you!"
Lu Huan held his breath. When he finally heard her words, his mind exploded with a rumble.
It was as if he had been waiting for a very long time, and his lips were so dry that his oasis had finally arrived.
His eyes unconsciously turned red, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
There were very few equal feelings in this world. Most of them were unattainable. Lu Huan had always understood this principle.
Therefore, although he tossed and turned in bed and longed to be closer to her one day, he also knew in his heart that there was absolutely no reason for her to give him the same feelings just because he liked her.
It didn't matter if she treated him as a virtual character in a game or as a friend who had accompanied her for a long time. Although he was disappointed and sad, he never had the thought of rushing her, let alone blaming her.
He only thought that as long as he was patient enough and waited day by day, there would be a day when sincerity could move metal and stone.
Before the curtain disappeared that day, when he saw that she was deliberately avoiding him, he was a little flustered.
He also had things he wanted to say these days that he didn't have time to tell her. He originally wanted to tell her that he had thought of a way to refuse the consort selection arranged by the Empress, but because he didn't have any thoughts of marrying and having children, he didn't want her to have any psychological burden.
But he didn't expect that she would stand in front of him at this moment and tell him that she also liked him.
Lu Huan was like a child who had waited for a long time and finally got his favorite candy. He stared at Su Xi with red eyes and couldn't help but beg a little more, "Does it mean that you also like me?"
Su Xi lowered his head in embarrassment and said in a low voice, "Yes."
Lu Huan asked again, "Does that mean that you won't go on blind dates with Huo Jingchuan and won't accept movie tickets from men other than me?"
Su Xi felt that something was off, but when he looked up and saw Lu Huan's eager eyes, he still agreed, "… Yes."
Lu Huan was overjoyed. He tried his best to keep a straight face, but the joy and brilliance in the corners of his eyes could not be suppressed.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Does it mean that she will become my imperial concubine in the future and won't allow me to look at other women?"
Su Xi: "…" Your Highness Ninth Prince, aren't you pushing your luck a little too far?
Moreover, why are you so insistent on forcing me to become a jealous woman?!
Su Xi couldn't help but explain, "Lu Huan, you might not know this, but the legal age of marriage here is 20 years old. It's different from your world …"
Lu Huan's eyes suddenly dimmed. "I understand what you mean, Xiao Xi. You're saying that you like me, but you don't want to marry me in the future."
"Then, what's the difference between this and the 'play' and 'pua' in your world?"
Su Xi: "…???"
Su Xi asked in confusion, "Who taught you pua?"
Lu Huan said, "Huo Jingchuan."
Su Xi simply wanted to beat Huo Jingchuan to death.
Seeing that the young man in front of him was getting more and more disappointed, his shoulders slumped, and he looked like he had been played with, Su Xi could only hurriedly say, "Marry, marry, but, but this kind of thing can only be discussed in the future. Who can say for sure now …"
However, Lu Huan seemed to have only heard the first three words.
He stared at Su Xi with shining eyes, and his chest was about to be filled with joy. "Once the people in our world make a promise, it's for life. Xiao Xi, you can't go back on your words."
Su Xi said faintly, "I won't go back on my words, but let's make a deal. There are so many women in your world, and they are everywhere on the streets. If I don't let you look at other women, won't I dig your eyes out?"
Su Xi didn't expect that after she said this, Lu Huan's heart seemed to be about to explode like fireworks.
Su Xi could hear his wildly beating heart at such a close distance.
He hurriedly turned around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down a little. Then he turned back and said in a hoarse voice, "If you really want to dig my eyes out because of jealousy, I'm very happy."
Su Xi: "…"
Su Xi was just about to bargain. So, she couldn't go to the movies with Huo Jingchuan in the future?
Huo Jingchuan should be excluded from the category of male creatures. But before she had time to say it, she suddenly heard the sound of the master bedroom door opening.
Mother Su wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but she heard whispers coming from Su Xi's room. She couldn't help but walk over and knock on the door. "Xixi, haven't you slept yet?
Did you stay up to watch movies in the middle of the night again? "
Su Xi shuddered. She was afraid that Mother Su would open the door and come in the next second. She didn't lock the door before she went to bed. If Mother Su came in, she wouldn't be able to hide under the table. She couldn't sit in front of the table in the middle of the night, and the wardrobe was full of clothes. Her heart was beating wildly, and she looked around. In a panic, she could only push Lu Huan onto the bed.
Lu Huan cooperated and curled up. He grabbed a large pile of quilts in the corner and covered himself with them. Then, barefoot, Su Xi gently grabbed a bear and put it on the bedside, creating a large pile of quilts that looked like a bear.
"Xixi?" Hearing no sound, Mother Su stood outside the door and asked, "Are you still watching movies?"
"No."
Su Xi was scared out of her wits. She quickly jumped onto the bed and said in a sleepy voice, "No, I'm sleeping. Mom, you heard wrong. Maybe it's from upstairs."
Mother Su was a little suspicious, but she also suspected that she was hallucinating. She reminded Su Xi, "Go to sleep quickly. School is about to start. You're in your third year of high school. Don't stay up late."
Then, she turned around and went to the bathroom.
'Mom didn't open the door and come in?!'
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Okay!"
Su Xi didn't dare to breathe loudly. Lu Huan, who was pressed under the quilt, also held her breath. After hearing Mother Su come out of the bathroom and go back to the room and close the door to the master bedroom, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
But then, the room fell into a dead silence with their hearts beating wildly.
Su Xi's bed wasn't big. It was 1.4 meters by 2 meters. She reached out and touched Lu Huan's body.
Lu Huan was pushed onto the bed by her just now. In the chaos, he couldn't care about anything else. His robe was wrinkled. He slowly removed the quilt covering his face and held it in his arms as he looked at Su Xi.
It was also at this time that Su Xi clearly realized that boys and girls were different.
Usually, when she lay on this bed, she felt that it was already very big. No matter how she turned, she wouldn't fall off. However, Lu Huan was lying next to her with the quilt. Although the young man's figure was slender and his muscles were strong but not bulky, the bed still felt small all of a sudden …
It was also at this time that Su Xi realized that the young man next to her was not only tall, but his shoulders were also very broad. He could pull a longbow. Lying next to her, he suddenly became very aggressive. How could she have always treated him as a cub with short arms and legs — the game system was really misleading!
In addition, her cheeks were hot. She didn't know whether it was her or Lu Huan's heart that was about to jump out, but it made the bed seem even smaller.
As the ancients said, "Love is important, but etiquette is important." Moreover, in Xiao Xi's world, one could only talk about marriage when they were 20 years old.
Lu Huan's rationality told him that he should quickly get up and go back. However, he was also afraid that everything that Su Xi said to him tonight was like a beautiful dream. When he went back, he would wake up from this dream.
Su Xi also never had the experience of lying on the same bed with a boy. Although she was wearing her clothes properly, it still made her heart skip a beat.
Her rationality told her that she should kick Lu Huan back to his bedroom. However, once one's first awakening of love, many thoughts of reluctance would arise.
She actually didn't feel sleepy at all. She even wanted to cover her head with the quilt and chat with Lu Huan or something.
Lu Huan turned over and got out of bed.
However, Su Xi couldn't help but stop him. She whispered, "Are you leaving?
Let's talk under the quilt. Be quiet. With the quilt wrapped around us, my mother won't hear. "
"I'm not leaving."
Lu Huan squatted by the bed and looked at her with bright eyes. He whispered, "If you don't drive me away, I won't leave."
Su Xi was finally happy.
Lu Huan reached out to iron the pillow for her and covered her with the quilt. He lowered his voice and said, "Lie down and sleep."
Su Xi laid down and put her hands under the quilt. She turned her head and looked at him. "What about you?"
"I'll be by the bed."
Lu Huan knelt by the bed with one knee. He propped his elbows on the bed and supported his head. He repeated, "I won't leave. Is that okay?"
This was exactly what Su Xi wanted. She happily said, "Okay."
The young man was very tall. Even when he squatted by the bed, he was still a big ball. The moonlight came in through the window and fell on his face. Although his long black hair was like a waterfall and his robe was like an immortal's, just by looking at the expression on his face, he didn't look like someone who had traveled through a thousand years. Instead, he looked like a young boy who was full of vitality and had fallen in love.
He looked at Su Xi. Su Xi also tilted her head and looked at him.
Su Xi couldn't help but get up and lie on the bed. She pulled the quilt over her shoulders and covered her head. She also covered Lu Huan's head.
Su Xi and Lu Huan were very close to each other. Their breaths fell on each other's breaths.
Lu Huan's ears were a little red, as if they were about to drip blood. He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I feel very magical."
Su Xi whispered, "Although my parents always put me together with Huo Jingchuan, if they knew that I was really in love at a young age, they would definitely beat me to death."
Lu Huan said, "Seventeen years old in your world is actually in love at a young age. Those seventeen-year-old princes of the Yan Dynasty already have groups of wives and concubines."
Su Xi said, "You still dare to say that? Look at them. They have groups of wives and concubines at seventeen years old. What about you? You're still forcing others to not let you look at other women."
Lu Huan smiled. He looked at Su Xi and suddenly said, "Xiao Xi, I want to always be with you. I want to always be with you, no matter what happens in the future.
No matter what lies between us, time or difficulties, I only want you.
Although I can't let go of the Yan Dynasty, if I really had to make a choice, I would still come to your world … "
— — Even if it was very selfish.
There were many things he wanted to say.
He understood that to Su Xi, he wasn't a boy who often played basketball on the playground in this world, nor was he a boy who could invite her to a movie. Dating those people would definitely be much easier. She wouldn't have to think about things in two different worlds, and she wouldn't have to worry about the other person suddenly disappearing from this world one day.
However, he also wanted to say that if she liked it, he would also learn from her. Just like any other ordinary boy in this world, he would get a driver's license, drive a four-wheeled carriage, take out a bouquet of flowers from the trunk, and invite her to watch a movie together …
Being with him, there might be some setbacks, but no matter what difficulties there were, he would run to find her.
He wasn't afraid of anything else.
The only thing he was afraid of was making things difficult for her one day.
He was afraid that one day, he and his world would become something she wanted to escape from.
The quilt covered their heads. It was a little hot, and there was also a burning sensation that made their faces and ears red.
Lu Huan didn't finish his words, but Su Xi understood all of his uneasiness.
Her heart softened, and she couldn't help but rub her nose against his tall nose. She tugged at the quilt and whispered, "No matter what happens, I will be with you.
Don't you understand? This is a choice I made because I finally realized that I like you. You didn't force me. "
Hearing the word "like" from her mouth again, Lu Huan felt like he had eaten his most beloved cake. His heart was filled with satisfaction.
He thought that he wanted to give her the best in the world, but he couldn't say this out loud.
Su Xi looked at Lu Huan up close. Some moonlight shone in through the gaps in the quilt, making his handsome face very close. Su Xi stared at his eyebrows, eyes, and all the way down to his lips. Su Xi couldn't help but become a dog that was about to faint from Gu Qi's looks.
She thought of something and suddenly covered her face with her hands. She said happily, "When you get your ID card, you can appear at my school once."
Lu Huan reached out to tidy up Su Xi's messy hair under the quilt and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
He thought that Xiao Xi wanted him to pick her up from school like the boys in this world, but —
Su Xi's eyes lit up. "My boyfriend from ancient times is so good-looking. If I don't show off, it'll be a loss."
Lu Huan, "…"
Lu Huan thought faintly in his heart. He wished that everyone in the world was blind so that he was the only one who could see her. Or he could bring her back to the Yan Dynasty and hide her so that no one could see her.
But she didn't seem to mind others looking at him at all.
Fortunately, the word "boyfriend" made Lu Huan slightly excited.
No matter what, a recognized boyfriend was better than an unrecognized boyfriend.
