The Flower Of War

Chapter 49: Changing Places

Yiu and Wu Xiao turned their heads in unison staring at the man's servant with widened eyes as well as a raised eyebrow line. "What?!"

The name was called, Yiu's heart churned between sad and disappointed. Yiu shifted his head towards Wu Xiao, his hand involuntarily rising and tried to dig out the gap between Wu Xiao's warm hands and his two equally warm cheeks.

Cupping both hands and grasping them tightly, although his face looked like it was in a moment of meaningless confusion. However, Wu Xiao understood very well the meaning behind that view.

Wu Xiao's hand immediately switched from cupping Yiu's cheek and then clasping Yiu's hand that held onto it for a moment. Then, one hand turned to stroke the black hair like a river of ink flowing full of clear luster and tried to convince, "Pacify yourself. You're safe with me."

Yiu's face turned flat then turned his head peeking at the corner of his eyes towards the servant who reflexively withdrew immediately after noticing it.

"Liu Yu beast! Wild Dogs are shameless! What has he come this far for? I have to kill him right now!"

Yiu climbed down from the bamboo bed in one swift motion but Wu Xiao's hand was just as quick to catch and restrain Yiu's movement with more vigor before pulling Yiu back to sit down.

"Don't be rash! He was at the top of the sky now! Even if the entire western and northern kingdoms united forces, its strength would not be comparable to it. At least for now! Be patient until the time comes."

Yiu did not care what Wu Xiao said, with the rest of his energy still recovering he tried to escape the young man's grip and returned maracau, "Detach! I want to kill that fucking guy! Don't block me! He said he was looking for me, right? Alright ... I will come to send him to the deepest hell of this second as well!"

Wu Xiao felt a slight tightness in his chest, staring at the fiery girl in front of him.

With a single move Yiu pulled back, landing in the arms of Wu Xiao who was firmly supporting him who still had not given up on rebelling and raving.

Feeling that it would be useless to try to break away, Yiu's body relaxed changed into a shoulder that shook down with a face hidden behind both hands.

He did not care what kind of person hugging him would react when he saw his weak side. Let him take off all the masks he always wears.

Wu Xiao again stroked Yiu's hair, trying to calm him down. "Sst it's okay, I'm here, don't worry."

Yiu's cry further broke in silence. Honestly speaking, now Yiu's entire body felt very painful due to his internal injuries that had not fully recovered.

However, the pain was not comparable to the wounds created in his heart. Scraping deep and wide makes the wound gaping full of blood splattered with pus, wading through the sea full of other wounds and melting with it like hot lava flowing in the crater of the mountain and will continue to smolder all the time, it'll never go out.

Why is fate so bad for him?

Put him in a difficult position for the second time. In his former life, he was an orphan who was ridge from the abyss by a grandfather and with his own hard work and tears tried to crawl up to the top.

Now that he has been thrown here, he again has to crawl to the top to then begin to understand and feel how warm the love given from a family bond that he had always longed for.

Why is fate so cruel as to drag her back to the fact that she is actually just a lonely, lonely girl?

The girl who was thrown away by fate, despite how hard she tried to get love but why in the end there was nothing left for her?

Her heart was too sick and now became even more sick after learning the hidden fact that she too had fallen into the charm of a wolf! That sheep-furred dog!

Why he had to come make his heart beat fast almost out when he first saw a smile like the radiance of the sun complete with charming dimples.

Yiu admitted that Yiu fell into his trap, the smile that he thought was sincere for him turned out to have other intentions and foolishly he could not read all that.

He was too busy with how to deal with the strange beatings that were in his heart when he was nearby, too busy imagining what kind of future he would live with the young man in his life.

That sweet treatment, that sweet smile, that mouth that would never stop teasing her to redden, and everything that the man had done for her, were all fake!

Yiu was too naive not to realize that, now the one thing he wanted to do, was kill the person who had taken the lives of his two parents, reclaim his kingdom, and also who had taken his heart!

Yiu choked in between her soft cries, her hands trying to hit hard into Wu Xiao's chest that was still constantly hugging her tightly without feeling any intention to let go even loosening her arms just a little.

The young man seemed not afraid that his clothes would be soaked by his tears, not disgusted if he soiled his clothes or even disgusted to see his appearance that was very different from his usual self.

He still continued to hold her tightly, his heart beating very fast, almost making Yiu worry about whether the young man was fine as well.

"Go you! I don't want to see you. Release!" his voice sounded more raucous than full of anger.

"No! I won't!" Wu Xiao's hand that was gently stroking Yiu's hair slowly pushed Yiu's head to lean on him, further restricting Yiu's movement.

"Let me go, there's no other way. That damn troop will sooner or later get here and find me, so let me go before you get in trouble too."

"Calm down first. Cool your head. I have strong enough advice to trick him." As it gained strength in the blink of an eye, Yiu pushed his hand back and broke free from Wu Xiao's embrace.

There was a slight glint of clear twinkle in the corner of his sharp eyes making the gaze of elegance and sharpness that is usually always painted in the eyes was finally replaced with a gentle gaze more in the direction of surprise. "really? Tell me quickly!"

Wu Xiao slightly relaxed before bringing his face closer to Yiu's ears, whispering a few words.

"Rest we think of tomorrow."

Mentari had just poked out of her contest along with the winter breeze and a little snow left over last night dancing down so beautifully.

"It's done! Now let's look at Miss Wu Xiao's charms! .. aihh no no. Must be Miss Ji!"

Yiu placed the lip-brushing paper onto her container which was on the room table of Wu Xiao's room which had switched functions to a dressing table for this time.

Wu Xiao raised his head quite high looking at Yiu who was standing with a face full of pride implied on his beautiful face, he then looked towards the copper mirror that was in his hand then slightly bent his face by holding a hint of annoyance on his face.

"This is not what I mean ... Why am I the one who dresses up like a woman? That person should be my men!"

Yiu waved his hand lightly in the air. "Dad it's okay. Just for a second. After all, if you look back, you do look beautiful like a woman! That officer will definitely not be able to guess you are a man."

Wu Xiao further bent his lips down then looked at Yiu with a baby-like gaze that was preparing to blow his tears, "But my height is not the height of a woman. Look, the bottom of this outfit alone is too short!"

A/N: forgive if it is not in accordance with expectations because I edit sober.. The rest of you are the shadow.

Yiu racked his brain to look for an excuse. "Aiyah .. You just sit in that oversized chair and practice female voices. It's easy, isn't it?"

Easy jidatmu! inner Wu Xiao.

Wu Xiao initially wanted to return to protest. However, seeing Yiu who he had just realized it had been trying hard to hold back his increasingly unstoppable laughter but failed and then his laughter immediately exploded.

Wu Xiao suddenly fell silent stiffly staring at Yiu who was bowing while holding his stomach to release a laugh without blinking. The corner of Wu Xiao's lips was involuntarily drawn curving upwards.

After stopping his hard-earned laughter. Eventually, Yiu was able to regain control of her emotions. His expression turned flat, immediately speaking as he pulled Wu Xiao's arm to stand up and pulled him to the door, "Alright now it's my turn to change clothes. You out!"

Before reaching the doorway, Wu Xiao immediately broke free and now slightly looked down at Yiu who was only as tall as his chin. "Hey hey! Why was I dragged out? Is your brain out of your mind?! Where else would this handsome face of mine be placed in front of my men?!"

Yiu looked at him no less sharply and again gave off a cold aura full of emphasis in each word, signifying not to accept rejection, "Then I have to change clothes where? In the living room? In hall? Hey crazy please use your brain, you've dressed like a woman to fool the officers and come out now or later it'll be the same! Out!"

Blaam!!

The wooden door closed in a loud voice a moment after Wu Xiao was forced to push. Wu Xiao could not help but be surprised, shocked at the sound of the door echoing loudly in his ears as well as surprised by Yiu's change in attitude which from despair to excited and now back to cold?

Oh come on he is more adorable to see if he is laughing like he was just a moment ago, Wu Xiao thought.

Wu Xiao tried to neutralize his heart and mind and then turned around and saw five of his men who were on guard or just passing by, now each one of them was frozen with wide faded eyes and trying to hold back their laughter.

"What do you see?! Is it time to relax?!"

Wu Xiao was bluffing furiously with his heavy voice but because his appearance now made him look so much like the angry girl puffing her cheeks it was just that the heavy voice was too disturbing her beauty.

The crowd of statues came to a realization and soon passed by obediently.

Wu Xiao grew increasingly irritated and wagged the small fan Yiu gave as a complement to his appearance quickly, walking towards the nearest chair to calm down.

Not long after, Yiu came out of his room in a white suit with a rough textured cloth scarf wrapped around his neck, the same as the clothes his men wore.

The hair is branched up then put together with the broken to tie a pincher on the back of the head. Oh, is that what's on his face? Ah ... Yiu was wearing a thin mustache apparently. Little handsome.

Suddenly came a man dressed entirely in deep blue, clearing a hint of snow on his shoulder before closing in on Wu Xiao and bowing. "Report Prince, officer Bai Qing has arrived and started inspecting every house from the end of the street."

Wu Xiao nodded. "execution time. Command the others to head to the living room to greet the officers. Liying, hide yourself."
