The Flower Of War

Chapter 63: Not For Both Times

Yiu frowned not understanding, he asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

Wu Xiao raised both of his hands and threw them towards Yiu's shoulder. "Because, you, the only woman I care about right now and I will take care of you strictly from now on!"

Yiu's body was instantly numb, he wanted to slap Wu Xiao's drunken face but now logic and feeling were being involved in a great internal war.

He took a breath and tried to calm down. Yiu painstakingly tried to remove Wu Xiao's hand from his shoulder. "You're drunk. Let's get you back."

Wu Xiao refused and clasped Yiu's shoulder tightly. "I'm not drunk! Liying, I'm telling you the truth!"

"I love you, Liying."

♣♦♣

Yiu's face instantly heated up again, his brown bead met Wu Xiao's emerald green bead charm.

His body began to react strangely, his heart now beating uncontrollably until Yiu himself thought it would come off in a few seconds.

On the other hand, Wu Xiao brought his face closer to Yiu. Yiu dared to swear if he really wanted to hit his head to quickly wake up. However, why did his mind and body not match!

The distance between the two was thinning, Yiu was eager to run away from a situation like this!

He felt dejavu, only that this time there was no wall blocking his movement, it should be easier to escape.

Can't be!

The noses of the two touched each other but there was no sign that if Wu Xiao was going to stop, he was getting closer and closer

Plukkkp....

Yiu had already closed his eyes, unable to see what was about to happen.

His expression grew even more troubled as their noses met. He had to act but Wu Xiao's grip was still very tight on his shoulder.

The breaths of both collide and .....

Wu Xiao was already unconscious, his head falling on Yiu's shoulder. Before falling down, his lips touching Yiu's cheeks and neck made him feel amused because of Wu Xiao who was breathing in the niche of his neck.

Yiu climbed up the apoplexy, he patted and shook Wu Xiao's back strongly. "Wu Xiao, wake up!! Hey, Crazy guy, wake up!"

Instead of replying, Wu Xiao even more comfortable his position on Yiu's shoulder like a sleeping pillow. Yiu circulated his gaze hoping that there would be someone who could help him get rid of this selfless madman.

Suddenly, he saw the silhouette of two men walking over from a distance. Without a second thought Yiu immediately called out to the two, "Weii! A waiter? Can you help me?"

The silhouettes of the two men finally approached, Yiu saw a gleaming black outfit waving elegantly as his footsteps moved.

"You called me?"

"Ah forgive me, Crown Prince. I didn't think it would be you."

Prince Wu Yu Chen stared in surprise at Yiu before turning his expression into peace.

"It's okay. By the way, you were asking for help, what can I help you with?"

Yiu wanted to drown himself in a nearby fish pond. For sure he would be accused of using Wu Xiao and deliberately setting him up in a marriage.

Aghh! Just die, Wu Xiao!

"I'm sorry, Prince. Can you bring your sister back? He was so drunk earlier when I accidentally passed by, I intended to bring him back but he fainted first."

Prince Wu Yu Chen chuckled slightly before shaking his head a few times. "A-Xiao was always like this when she was sad. I represent my sister apologizing for her attitude. Ah-Ding, please take Prince Wu Xiao back to his residence."

The personal servant Wu Yu Chen immediately walked over to Yiu and pulled Wu Xiao who continued to concoct "Don't touch me! I'm not drunk!" then he filled it with shaky steps towards the prince's residence.

Inwardly, Yiu breathed a sigh of relief after Wu Xiao's departure, at least now he could eliminate the shortness of breath and the strange pounding in his heart.

Yiu regained his senses from his daydream, he immediately stood up after noticing Prince Wu Yu Chen was still standing in front of him.

Silence enveloped the two before Yiu took the initiative to immediately escape, it was certain that his face was red in hue now.

"Then ...."

"May you ask for a minute, Princess? We can talk while we're around."

Prince Wu Yu Chen's face shone beautifully in competition with the moonlight. A sweet and sincere smile was etched perfectly on her face.

Receiving such an impromptu offer, forced him to unwillingly accept it let alone this offer coming from Royal Crown Prince Zhang Wu.

Yiu smiled his smile at the agreed sign then walked hand in hand with Prince Wu Yu Chen in the hallway bathed in yellow light from the small candles.

"By the way, how is Qiu Wang?"

"Qiu Wang is still not conducive, we are still continuing to pursue spies who are likely still in the capital."

"I can provide help to eradicate 'pests' in your kingdom, Princess."

"You don't need to, Prince. We're-"

Not yet had Yiu refuted, Wu Yu Chen had already intruded, "Why not? You guys saved Zhang Wu Kingdom from destruction, I must thank you, especially to you, Princess Ying."

Yiu turned her head with a cengo look and slightly opened lips. Wu Yu Chen again continued, "You have also changed my sister. Thanks for that."

Yiu gasped and misfired thinking that Prince Wu Yu Chen was insinuating him, he then denied, "I'm sorry if I made a mistake, Prince. However, I have never done anything bad to Prince Wu Xiao."

Wu Yu Chen's eyebrows shot up high before chuckling lightly at Yiu's puzzled face.

"That's not what I meant. I mean the truth is I'm grateful for changing her life into more color."

Yiu again fell silent, he did not find a single word to say.

"Maybe you already know about the rumors about Wu Xiao, he's a cold and authoritative man and disciplined since childhood. Me and Wu Xiao grew up together, we were very close especially after Consort Kang died while saving six-year-old Wu Xiao back then. My mother who took on the role of taking care of Wu Xiao and her sister, they are already like my younger siblings."

"Wu Xiao was forced into adulthood by circumstances, he was the son of a concubine so much that he was worried if he was taken care of by the empress and fought for the throne with me. People shunned him out of fear or dislike, and public opinion of him was silent and appalling. However, that was before you came here last year, it's getting more and more changed."

Yiu did not particularly grasp Wu Yu Chen's intentions about the changes to Wu Xiao, as he knew Wu Xiao's nature was always as annoying as ever.

"I'm sorry, but I don't really understand the word 'getting changed'."

"When he returned home from Qiu Wang after helping defeat Tian Lu Kingdom, his attitude gradually began to change. He became more familiar with Prince Huang and he became a jolly and smiling child when he was with me or my mother. At first, I thought he changed because he finally got a friend, so I freed him to go wherever he wanted so he could make more friends."

Wu Yu Chen fell silent before smiling widely as a memory flashed through his mind.

"But after that I realized. Wu Xiao changed not because of Prince Huang or the others, he changed because of you, Princess Ying. He became very excited when he heard your name called or when he saw you from a distance in Guang Ming. However, after that, if not mistaken news of your marriage began to spread widely. Wu Xiao suddenly returned to his former self, even worse. He was drunk every night and made a lot of trouble. Finally, my father tried to distract him by having him hold a town near the border but ended up with him urging my father to look for you and your two brothers in Qiu Wang and afterwards I'm sure you already know."

Yiu's left chest suddenly felt tight, his steps slowing down a little. His mind came back to the moments where Wu Xiao had been with him lately, despite repeatedly provoking his emotions but in fact he was always there for him.

"Ah sorry, I talked too much tonight. You must be a little distracted and uncomfortable."

Yiu tried to re-carve his smile on Wu Yu Chen. "No, not at all. Thank you for telling me about this."

Wu Yu Chen reached his point, he stopped his steps and turned his body towards Yiu who was half confused.

"Then can I ask for one last thing?"

Yiu slightly nervously replied, "Please explain."

"Maybe this is a little outrageous but can I leave my sister to you? I wish you two could be together"

"No!" a slightly loud heavy voice interrupted the conversation of the two. In front of the two were already standing a man in dazzling jade green clothes although the owner's face seemed to be holding back in annoyance.

The man immediately infiltrated inside at the distance created between Yiu and Wu Yu Chen. The man's gaze was a little disrespectful to that Crown Prince Zhang Wu.

"I'm sorry for my leniency, Prince. But my sister is still too small to understand such a thing, I hope you can understand it. Ah, it's so late, we're asking for permission to return."

Yiu and Wu Yu Chen looked at each other while bending his eyebrows down and narrowed eyes saw the behavior of the man who was between the two who turned out to be Prince Huang.

Wu Yu Chen could only smile and invite Huang to bring his sister back. The two brothers greeted before walking in a slightly fast rhythm and Yiu's hand was dragged by Huang.

"Gege, off!"

There was no answer, there was only the sound of footsteps getting faster.

"Gege, what's the problem? .... Gege!!"

His steps stopped instantly making Yiu hit the brother's back.

"A-Ying, say it honestly. Do you like Wu Xiao?"

Yiu froze instantly, what kind of question is this?! He thought his brother was having a little problem with his brain.

"Tell Gege! Tell me honestly, do you like Wu Xiao or not?!"

Seeing the look on the face of the brother who was not in a joking condition made Yiu answer with a little fear and a slightly quivering voice, "Ti-no!"

Huang simply fell silent as he continued to cast a sharp glare that pierced Yiu's retina. Yiu who felt awkward immediately refuted that gaze, "I said honestly, Ge. W-why did Gege suddenly ask like that?"

Huang stared fixedly at the glowing brown bead that belonged to his sister.

"Alright, Gege believes. Don't get close to her anymore, let alone her brother. She's an accomplished seducer, her mouth so sweet that I want to vomit every time I hear her say."

Yiu himself did not understand what the elder brother was talking about, he was escorted back to the royal guest room.

After cleaning up, Yiu was now preparing to head to dreamland. However, from earlier his mind floated about what Wu Yu Chen had told him.

Wu Xiao's childhood must not have been easy, his destiny was a little similar to Wu Xiao's.

They are forced into adulthood by circumstances, by circumstances, Little Wu Xiao had already been abandoned by his mother and surely the father was also very busy and the circumstances demanded him to be a prince to be proud of plus he still had to take care of his little brother who was even more unfortunate fate any more.

Yiu could feel the loneliness and tiredness of living the way Wu Xiao felt. He understands the feeling of not having parents and losing his way.

Suddenly his thoughts were thrown at Wu Xiao's statement to him, that flushed drunk face was clearly drawn in his mind.

As soon as Yiu felt his chest back pounding very hard, he tried to turn his attention to anything that could distract him from that crazy man named Wu Xiao. However, the result is nil.

The more Yiu tried to forget that face the crazier his delusion was, for example, he suddenly saw Wu Xiao standing leaning against the wall in the corner of his room, looking at Yiu with a smile made Yiu's hair sit up instantly.

He threw away his face and found that Wu Xiao was already sitting right beside his bed, still with the same gaze.

Sontak Yiu screeched in shock to fall from his bed and his body hit the ground quite hard.

His mind is crazy! He's gone crazy!

Suddenly, the door of his room was knocked and a female voice shouted, "Daughter, is there a problem? Are you okay?"

Yiu replied as he reached for the end of the bed to support him standing up, "I'm good! Just drop the stuff."

As the servant left, Yiu lost interest in entering the dreamland. He chose to occupy himself by reassembling some secret weapons of his creation which he brought some here.

Spending his night thinking of a strategy to raid Bai Qing.

This is not the time to relax, it is not the time to think about things that are not important. There was still one big task he had to complete for the security of the world, for his people, and for the immortality of Princess Ying.

It must not be swayed by feelings, feelings will only bring disaster in war.

He did not want to be doomed because the feeling reoccurred on him, not a second time.
