“Hey…”
How did she manage to pinpoint the bed without even turning on the light?
I was about to activate the light-energy magic stone when she stopped me.
“Chuye! Don’t turn on the light…”
My hand froze mid-air. The door was still open, and light from the corridor streamed in, partially blocked by my body.
“Close the door…”
Her voice lacked its usual vitality. I didn’t know what she was up to, but I complied.
Now the room was utterly dark, and my eyes adjusted even better. Truly, the darker it was, the clearer I could see.
She buried her face in the pillow, her thoughts a mystery. Why didn’t she want the light on? So we sat there in the pitch-black room, silent, without any exchange.
“Come here…”
Her right hand patted the bed beside her.
What was she up to? Was she going to toy with me like she did in the hot spring? Or pull one of those jokes she made when I woke her up? Why did I always end up being her plaything?
I stood my ground, not moving. She didn’t say another word, just continued to be silent… silent…
“Um… I’m sorry for taking you to the hot spring without permission earlier…”
“…”
I couldn’t explain why I couldn’t answer her, but I remained silent.
“Chuye… what kind of person do you think I am…?”
Why was she asking this? Fine, I’ll answer honestly.
“An optimistic, fearless, innocent optimist, I guess… just… like that…”
“…”
Another stretch of silence fell over us.
“Mm… and very kind-hearted, like taking in me and Xiao Linlin…”
“Then what if I told you I’m actually someone with a fragile heart, who cries alone at night?” she suddenly said after a long pause.
“…”
“What if I’m also really childish and clingy? Would you accept that? A version of me completely different from usual? I mean… if… if I were like that…”
“It doesn’t matter… Maybe my true purpose in coming to this world is to spend my life with you… Maybe when that day comes for you… I’ll go back… maybe…”
Even though I already knew my real mission here, maybe answering her like this was for the best. I quietly walked to her bed and sat down.
“It’s really great that I can let off steam with you! Chuye, will you still let me… will you still accept me… will you still listen to me like this, stay by my side like everyone else, always? Will you still put up with my childish tantrums and unreasonable requests, and…”
I placed my hand on her head, gently stroking it up and down. She bore the pressure of this entire city, unfairly treated by other royal members… she carried too much alone.
“I will. Always, always, always… by your side. I’ll listen to you, Young Master.”
She turned over, covering her face with her hands.
“Phew… I guess only you would listen to me…”
“But there are limits to unreasonable requests!”
“Huh? Aren’t my requests usually quite normal?”
I sighed.
“That attitude of yours—if you don’t get your way, you just stop listening—I find it hard to accept.”
Actually, I found it very hard to accept.
“Huh? Really? Okay, okay, I’ll change.”
“Oh, I’ve always been curious about one thing: don’t you have a mother? You could talk to her about all this…”
“Mm… come to bed, and I’ll tell you slowly…”
