Chapter 74

Xiao Xixi, seeing that the Crown Prince was unmoved, could only try to tell another joke.

"Once upon a time, there was a fool who loved to say 'no.' No matter what others asked him, he would always say 'no.' Has Your Highness heard this joke before?"

Luo Qinghan: "Do you think you're being foolish?"

Xiao Xixi: "……"

Why doesn't the Crown Prince play by the rules?

Xiao Xixi tried again: "I have another joke for you, Your Highness..."

Luo Qinghan interrupted: "Enough, I don't want to hear any more jokes."

"Then would you like to hear me sing?"

Luo Qinghan thought about it for a moment.

Between listening to her sing and hearing her tell more cold jokes, he decisively chose to sleep.

He got up and walked into the room.

Xiao Xixi lifted her skirt and followed: "Why isn't Your Highness speaking? Do you think the song I just sang wasn't good? I can sing another one for you. I have many interesting songs!"

Before she could start singing, Luo Qinghan covered her mouth and said coldly.

"Be quiet, go to sleep!"

Xiao Xixi obediently closed her mouth and fell silent.

Luo Qinghan withdrew his hand.

The place where her lips had touched his palm felt warm.

He clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and nonchalantly took off his cloak, getting into bed to sleep.

Xiao Xixi lay down beside him, let out a long breath, and finally could go to sleep!

She pulled the blanket up to cover her chin and closed her eyes contentedly.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard the man beside her speak softly.

"What do you think I am like?"

Xiao Xixi just wanted to sleep, her mind was hazy. She turned to see the Crown Prince looking at her, clearly waiting for her answer.

Without much thought, she blurted out the standard answer.

"I think you are a good person."

Luo Qinghan was very dissatisfied with this "good person card."

He thought to himself that he must have been out of his mind to ask Xiao Liangdi such a question.

With her brain focused only on eating, drinking, and sleeping, she wouldn't think about anything beyond that.

Luo Qinghan turned away, closed his eyes, and decided to put this aside and go to sleep.

But he heard Xiao Xixi's voice from behind.

"Your Highness is still young, and the future is long. No one knows what kind of person you will become."

Luo Qinghan didn't turn back, but he opened his eyes.

"Your Highness, your future has infinite possibilities. Don't let others' opinions limit you. Do whatever you want, and I will always support you."

Luo Qinghan turned back and saw Xiao Xixi looking at him intently.

Her eyes were clear and bright, reflecting his image clearly.

Being looked at with such eyes made him feel as if he had moved into her heart.

He wanted to ask:

"Will you always be with me?"

But he thought this question was too sentimental and couldn't bring himself to ask it.

No one in this world would stay with another person forever.

Even if that person was his bedmate.

She might leave, she might betray him, she might disappear from the world like his mother did.

He couldn't keep her.

Luo Qinghan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were calm.

He reached out and covered Xiao Xixi's eyes, blocking her bright gaze.

"It's late, go to sleep."

Xiao Xixi obediently closed her eyes.

Luo Qinghan could feel the gentle touch of her eyelashes brushing against his palm.

It was as if a small feather fan was lightly sweeping across his heart.
