The light in the room had already been extinguished, only the full moon light slipped inside from the half opened windows, illuminating the road for a certain person who slipped inside too.

He only saw Mei Qian Deng silently and peacefully slept on the bed. When Madam Mei left, she had helped her to light up an incense. Hence, the room inside was filled with a light fragrance which was mixed with the weak wine smell. The room inside was tranquil, Chu Xun held his breath as he took cat-alike steps with the tip of his legs. Inside his heart, he was very nervous.

No one would ever guess the dignified His Highness Crown Prince would secretly slipped into the young 'man' room in the middle of the night. If it was known by others and got spread out, Chu Xun would not have any more face to be a monarch in the future. Tsk, tsk…… However, even if Chu Xun himself knew it was very shameless, he was still like a dog squatting beside the head of Mei Qian Deng's bed and silently stared at the person sleeping soundly.

Mei Qian Deng had a pretty looking appearance. There was a natural feeling, letting people who saw it felt comfortable. Chu Xun licked his lower lips and stretched out his hand to stroke Mei Qian Deng's forehead. Her eyebrows, they were not too thick and not too thin, they were just right and curved. Her eyes were closed, making her long, curled eyelashes much obvious. Her nose was very straight and her cherry mouth was small. Her face was smooth and exquisite. Because she was drunk, she had a tinge of blush. When touched, the tender feeling was not bad.

Chu Xun's wicked hand was reluctant to leave, touching until Mei Qian Deng slightly frowned and moved her neck to turn her head to the inner side. A certain person instantly straightened his upper body and used his arms to prop on the edge of the bed, persistent to stare at the soundly sleeping Mei Qian Deng.

He was doing a test. When he looked at Xiao Jing Zi or Di Mu Yang, there was none of this current weird feeling. It was as if his heart inside had been inflated by someone, bulging and itchy, wanting to deflate but unable to, wanting to scratch but unable to.

"Now that I look at this boor, he is quite delicate……" Chu Xun thought inside.

He stared for a while before getting a bit fed up of staring. Both his arms were no longer propping up at the bed edge. Again, he half squatted like a dog beside the bed. This time, he put his wicked hand at Mei Qian Deng's quilt. His hand entered and explored a bit and moving deeper. He finally found Mei Qian Deng's hands on her stomach.

Chu Xun pulled one of Mei Qian Deng's hands.

Mei Qian Deng's fingers were slender yet long. The tiger's mouth[1] had callous but the other places were very soft. Although she was usually forceful and bold when holding a sword, it turned out her hands were soft like without bones when touched. Plus, they were not too big. Chu Xun's whole hand could completely wrap Mei Qian Deng's small hand.

Holding Mei Qian Deng's hand, that air inside Chu Xun's heart had been suppressed. He got much comfortable. He didn't let go her hand as he stood up. He pressed Mei Qian Deng's beautiful hand onto his own chest. This time, he licked his lips again. Inside his mind, a very dirty scene appeared.

It was that time at the bottom of the river when Chu Xun almost ran out of air and that life-saving air pa.s.sed by Mei Qian Deng.

The Crown Prince later had secretly asked Senior Official Song after cla.s.s.

How to proof a person like another person?

Senior Official Song was the Crown Prince's Grand Tutor, who in charge of teaching the Crown Prince. Whatever question the Crown Prince had, he could go ask him. For this question related to throbbing of a romantic love during p.u.b.erty, it was not shameful at all to ask the teacher. Of course, Chu Xun still had a large dunce hat.

"Senior Official, previously Imperial Father had introduced so many splendid young ladies to me yet none of them entered my eyes. Tell me, is it because I still too young and childish and doesn't know what is call like? For the Chu family's world and future, as the future monarch I too am deeply worried of it. If I can't find a good empress to stay by my side, from now on won't it be inefficient? Then tell me, exactly how is it to be considered as liking someone?"

Senior Official Song rubbed his chin while grinning. When he answered, it was pregnant with meaning, "Your Highness Crown Prince, this liking someone is a matter based on the heart. Laofu had no way to properly answer you. When your eyes keep locking at a certain person, just ask your heart if you like that person. If you really can't determine this feeling is liking someone, you can try kiss her once. After kissing her, if you still want to kiss and not feeling nauseated and disgusted, then you must be liking her."

Senior Official, this Crown Prince feels this way of yours is not a good one.

Senior Official, how can you teach a future monarch to be a pervert?!

When Chu Xun had just listened to Senior Official Song, he rejected it in his heart. He was a righteous Crown Prince.

However, right now when Mei Qian Deng's small face was near his eyes, Chu Xun completely forgotten that despise he had when facing Senior Official Song that time. He agreed with Senior Official Song's statement. It was a very direct and good idea. After all, the suspicion whether he liked a man or not had been entrenched in Chu Xun's heart for some time now.

Chu Xun couldn't make clear of it. This tense, shyness mixed with panic and uneasiness type of couldn't refrain from continuing. Actually, at what time of what day did it develop? It was just like that humid, silent spring rain, just like that spring breeze blowing repeatedly. He's a man! How could he like another man?! How could he like another man?!

Ai, he had pressed his luck.

Chu Xun's other hand held Mei Qian Deng's chin and turned her head to face him. Then, Chu Xun lowered his body, wanting to do a forced kiss at Mei Qian Deng's small cherry mouth——

Just at this decisive moment——

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Someone knocked the door.

"Qian Deng, Qian Deng. Are you asleep?"

It was Old Master Mei's voice.

But, obviously Old Master Mei knew Mei Qian Deng's alcoholic tolerance and knew too Mei Qian Deng should be sleeping at this moment. Knocking the door was just a formality. He had developed it into a habit because this was his daughter's room after all and it was bad to directly enter.

At this moment, he was really thankful of this habit of Old Master Mei. It gave Chu Xun a very short time to climb down the bed. Chu Xun seemed to be instinctively and reflectively laid on the floor. He rolled his body and squeezed into under the bed. After experiencing Mei Qian Deng and Di Mu Yang's trainings, Chu Xun had some grasp on martial arts attainments.

He used his hand to cover his mouth and nose, trying to hold his breath as much as possible.

Before Old Master Mei this martial arts expert level, it might be possible he could notice Chu Xun's breathing. If he was noticed by Old Master Mei, why the Crown Prince secretly slipped into his 'son's room, a single man and a single man[2] in a room, and were even on the bed.

Chu Xun really didn't know how to explain this dirty question.

Coincidently, tonight Old Master Mei had drank too much wine, a part of his nerve had blunted. Plus because he drank wine to propose a toast to eliminate his worry, when he looked at his daughter, he was in a disturbed state of mind so he didn't notice the hooligan Crown Prince hiding under the bed.

Old Master Mei only silently sat beside Mei Qian Deng's bed. Firstly, he helped fixing Mei Qian Deng's quilt, then looked at his daughter. He sighed in despair.

After finished looking, he continued his hand upwards to stroke the forehead Chu Xun had stroked earlier. This time, Mei Qian Deng didn't move, only frowning. Old Master Mei continued to sigh, "Ai……ai……ai!"

Chu Xun hiding under the bed heard until he was bewildered. What was Old Master Mei so distressed about? It couldn't be because Imperial Father summoned this Mei child into the palace to be Chu Xun's study partner and Old Master Mei was unwilling to part with her so he grieved greatly? (Baobao[3] is very bitter in the heart, but baobao can't say!)

If Old Master Mei continued to sigh, Chu Xun felt he would not be able to stop himself from climbing out and console Old Master Mei a few words.

He would in the pa.s.sing tell Old Master Mei. This Crown Prince really didn't bully Mei Qian Deng. Old Master, you don't have to be this grief. Really!

However, Old Master Mei didn't give Chu Xun the chance to climb out.

Old Master Mei had seen enough of Mei Qian Deng so he stood up, preparing to leave.

Before he left, Old Master Mei said to the soundly sleeping Mei Qian Deng, "My good daughter, it is father that let you down! Ai!"

This place had a deathly stillness from the ancient primeval times……
