Arc 2 – Gege, Don’t Stop – Chapter 2

The next morning, when Yu Xiaoyu woke up, she reached out and touched the bed beside her; it was cold, the person had left a long time ago.

Yu Xiaoyu got up from the bed, there were not that many servants in Prince An’s Residence, and the only ones serving her were those two maids. The two maids probably hadn’t expected her to be awake and had still not come to serve her yet.

Yu Xiaoyu put on the cumbersome clothes by herself, raised the bronze mirror and looked into it. She found that the face reflected inside was her own face, which made Yu Xiaoyu sigh with relief. It would be such a terrible thing to wake up and see another person’s face in the mirror.

Yu Xiaoyu came out of the house after tidying up, quickly noticing that it was already late autumn and the floor was covered with fallen leaves. She had barely taken a few steps down the corridor when she heard the sound of a few servants talking from one of the rooms.

“If you ask me, His Highness Prince An shouldn’t even have gone there today.”

“How could he not go? Even if it was a Swan Goose Gate banquet, he still has to go.”

T/N: “Swan Goose Gate Banquet”

When Yu Xiaoyu heard His Highness Prince An’s name, she hurriedly began straining her ears to listen in on their conversation.

The sounds of chairs being pulled across the floor echoed through the room, then a man whispered under his breath in a shrill voice, “If we can make it through this one too, His Highness Prince An will be able to have a few good days to enjoy.”

“Look at what you’re saying, you’re such a busy body, to think that a horse brusher like you is taking pity on His Highness Prince An.”

There was a roar of laughter from the room, then a timid female voice called out to Yu Xiaoyu, “Ai-ya, there you are little mistress.”

At these words, there was a thick silence in the room, and a bearded man with a bun came out of the room and bowed to Yu Xiaoyu, “Little Mistress.”

“Did something happen to His Highness Prince An?”

“This …… this, I don’t know ……”

“Aren’t you the one who knows everything?” Yu Xiaoyu raised her voice in a chiding manner.

“I was wrong.” The man flopped down on his knees in front of Yu Xiaoyu and began slapping himself.

Looking at that man’s dog-like manners, Yu Xiaoyu became even more angry, and before she could blow her temper, she heard someone’s voice from the hall, “His Highness Prince An has returned.”

Yu Xiaoyu sent a glare in the direction of these gossiping servants, before saying, “What should or should not be said, as servants, this should be extremely clear in your minds.” After saying this, she spun around and walked towards the main hall.

His Highness Prince An had indeed returned, but he had been carried back horizontally.

Right where his heart was positioned, there was an arrow sticking out of it, upon seeing this Yu Xiaoyu felt a little dazed. If she remembered correctly, that bullet, had also shattered in the very same part of Ye Zhiyang’s body.

Basins full of blood were carried from Prince An’s room, Yu Xiaoyu stood outside the door, both hands clenched into fists, her fingernails close to digging into the flesh of her palms.

“What happened?” Yu Xiaoyu asked of Prince An’s pale-faced attendant.

The attendant knelt down in front of Yu Xiaoyu with another thud and choked up, “The minute we exited General Wang’s residence, His Highness happened to be shot by someone with an arrow.”

“That arrow …… that arrow ……,” the attendant hesitated before continuing, “That arrow had been shot from the direction of General Wang’s residence. “

General Wang, Yu Xiaoyu thought she had heard this name somewhere before, something like the female lead was actually the daugher of this powerful Great General.

Yu Xiaoyu’s face also changed, in the last world, Ye Zhiyang had been killed by the female lead, so this time …… no that won’t happen, it won’t happen. Yu Xiaoyu shook her head, in the last world Ye Zhiyang had died for her, this time she vowed that she would do everything to prevent Prince An from dying.

After another moment, the sweat-drenched doctor came out of the room, and Yu Xiaoyu was hurriedly tugging on the doctor and asking, “How is His Highness Prince An doing?”

The doctor wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead with his long sleeve and said, “His Highness Prince An is greatly blessed with good fortune, if that arrow had struck but an inch further sideways, it would have embedded itself directly into His Highness’s heart. However, because of this inch of a miss, the whole injury is merely a flesh wound, and he just needs a few days to recuperate.

Yu Xiaoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then she pushed the door and entered the room. The entire space was full of the pungent medicinal fumes, and Prince An was lying motionless on the bed, his lips white.

Yu Xiaoyu tip-toed gently over to him, smoothening down a few up-turned corners of his blanket. Then, just as she was about to turn around, a pair of large hands suddenly wrapped around her waist. Yu Xiaoyu looked down and saw that somehow His Highness Prince An had woken up, and his dark eyes burned red with the fire of lust.

Yu Xiaoyu froze as a busy tone came from the System Lord in her head, “Du… Smut Story Male Lead Compatibility Test 10 starts now.”

Instantly, His Highness Prince An’s large, restless hand caught hold of Yu Xiaoyu’s lurching breasts with unerring accuracy.
