Chapter 26 – Fairy Tales Are All Lies (26)
This… is not just light.
Xiuyin’s pair of azure-blue eyes looked at the golden strands held by the small, fair hand. The corner of his lips lifted slightly, still carrying a voice that seemed not fully awake, “Don’t you want to ask anything?”
Yan Luo hesitated for a moment before asking, “What exactly happened?”
“It’s just that Father Emperor has thought it through and decided to leave the throne to me.” He said casually, maintaining a serious demeanor.
Yan Luo was left speechless. Little Pink had already scanned the surroundings and informed her about the situations of the Old Emperor and the Princes and Princesses. Each one was more miserable than the other. It was truly incredible how Xiuyin could say such things with a straight face…
Seeing Yan Luo’s expression, Xiuyin chuckled, “I was just kidding.”
That was really hard to tell _(:з」∠)_
Xiuyin’s lips maintained a playful smile, but his eyes gradually darkened, as if a storm of wind and rain was brewing. His head moved slightly, allowing his golden strands to slip out of Yan Luo’s grasp.
“Luoluo, this is what they owe me…” Xiuyin let go of her hand, propping himself up slightly. The light in his eyes flickered, and the corner of his lips remained hooked. “Do you think I’m wrong?”
An inexplicable aura surrounded him, though he was clearly smiling, the atmosphere around him felt like he was going through those times again.
Yes, they owed him. Originally, he didn’t want it to happen so soon, this absurd and ridiculous struggle. He wanted to witness more…
But unexpected circumstances arose.
However, it was enough. This boring game should come to an end.
Yan Luo instinctively shook her head and spoke, “I know, I’ve seen it. They treated you badly.”
Oppression, cruelty, though not overt, the palace had its ways to make someone mentally collapse, aside from the physical harm. Moreover, after this period of understanding, his mother’s death was not as simple as it seemed, especially when he was just a child.
So, no, he’s not wrong.
A glimmer of light passed through the azure depths of Xiuyin’s eyes, dispelling the dust within, revealing a clear radiance.
His lips curled up, and his golden head nuzzled against Yan Luo’s neck.
Then, Xiuyin straightened up, his eyes seeming to hold a certain glow. His fingers slowly traced Yan Luo’s cheek, lingering affectionately. The ticklish touch made Yan Luo slightly tilt her head.
“You rest well for now,” he whispered with a low laugh. Xiuyin descended from the bed, looking somewhat slender as he wore a loose white shirt, revealing delicate collarbones. With golden hair and azure eyes, he looked astonishingly attractive.
Yan Luo hesitated, attempting to sit up, but found herself devoid of any strength. She looked at Xiu Yin in surprise. Unconcerned, he began dressing one piece of clothing at a time, and soon, he was fully clothed. The attire was noticeably different from before, altering his aura.
However, when Xiuyin looked over, it seemed as if nothing had changed. He returned to the bedside, bending down to look at Yan Luo lying on the bed. His hand gently touched her waist.
Yan Luo : !!!
Just as Yan Luo was about to say something, Xiuyin’s fingers subtly shifted, tucking in the blanket that had slipped from her waist. Straightening up, his eyes were crystal clear, causing Yan Luo, who was subtly feeling something inappropriate, to unconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.
“To prevent you from getting frightened, I had someone administer medicine to you in advance. If I’m not mistaken, the effects of the potion haven’t worn off yet. Rest well for now.”
