Chapter 24: In Your Eyes, There Can Only Be Me

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Fangye’s breathing suddenly intensified.

His pale eyes fixed intently on him, his expression dark and unreadable.

Song Huaixi couldn’t decipher his expression, tilting his fair face, his eyes filled with anticipation. His crimson lips were within reach.

Zhao Fangye knew very well the taste of those lips.

Suppressing the surging emotions within him, Zhao Fangye reached out, stopping his approaching head. He grabbed the blanket and wrapped him up tightly.

Turning away from him, his calm voice laced with restraint.

“Sleep.”

Facing Song Huaixi, who was like a blank sheet of paper, he often felt excessively despicable.

Exploiting his ignorance to seduce him.

This was not what he wanted; he was willing to wait slowly with Song Huaixi.

Waiting for the day he became enlightened.

Suddenly being wrapped like a dumpling, Song Huaixi wriggled in bed, struggling to free his hands and hug Zhao Fangye’s waist.

Zhao Fangye’s body stiffened, but seeing that he made no further moves, he didn’t stop him.

With a large warm furnace in his arms, Song Huaixi quickly fell asleep. But Zhao Fangye, who was being hugged by him, couldn’t fall asleep for a long time.

Turning over, he pulled the sleeping Song Huaixi into his arms, inhaling the warm fragrance emanating from him, Zhao Fangye barely managed to close his eyes.

However, Zhao Fangye always had restless sleeps.

Childhood experiences once again appeared in his mind. Zhao Fangye, secretly cultivated by the Chancellor, had a close eunuch friend when he was thirteen years old.

They often gathered secretly to play, it was the only relatively happy period in Zhao Fangye’s lonely childhood.

However, when he went to look for him again, he had already turned into a stiff corpse. The young Zhao Fangye looked at the partner who had been playing with him not long ago, lying on the ground, his face turning pale and gray.

A surge rose in his throat, too sad to speak.

A pair of luxurious official boots appeared in his sight. Looking up, the Chancellor’s shrewd and cunning face was filled with anger: “This is the consequence of your stubbornness and lack of ambition.”

Startled awake, the Chancellor’s old face emerged in his mind again. He tightened his embrace around Song Huaixi, and seeing his sleeping face, Zhao Fangye’s mind calmed down.

In the past, he didn’t care about that position, but now he also wanted to fight for it.

The next day.

Zhao Fangye sat in his study, and Deputy General Sun presented a secret letter on the table.

“Your Highness, the business in the capital has been settled.”

“Mm.” Zhao Fangye took the secret letter, read it, and placed it on the candle flame to burn: “Tell the hidden stakes below not to alarm them.”

Deputy General Sun nodded: “Yes.”

Before he could report anything else, he was interrupted by Song Huaixi, who pushed the door open and ran in: “Your Highness.”

“Deputy General Sun!” Song Huaixi greeted him, anxiously running towards Zhao Fangye.

“Zhao Fangye!” Song Huaixi ran all the way over, his cheeks flushed red. Reaching out, he grabbed Zhao Fangye and, without saying a word, made him follow him.

“What are you doing?”

Pulled up to his feet, Zhao Fangye followed him, passing by Deputy General Sun and winking.

Deputy General Sun understood and immediately went to handle the matter.

Song Huaixi’s face was full of happiness, unable to hide his smile. He pulled him impatiently towards the door.

“Come quickly! I’ll show you something fun!”

Today, he changed into a lotus-root pink jacket robe, with twining branch patterns embroidered on the sleeves, elegant and playful. A small bell sachet hung at his waist, jingling as he walked.

He really looked like a puppy.

He led Zhao Fangye to the backyard, where Qing Shan and Qing Yang were already waiting.

A pile of something surrounded their feet.

Coming closer, it was a small brown puppy. The puppy was lying on the snow, its chubby little body curled up. Round, dark eyes timidly looked at the people surrounding it.

Its nose was wet, and its four little paws were trembling.

Song Huaixi squatted down in front of the puppy, gently touching its head: “Look, this is a puppy I found in the yard. It’s so small.”

“You urgently called this Prince here just to see a puppy?”

Zhao Fangye stood beside him, his tone indifferent.

“It’s not! Can I raise the puppy?” Song Huaixi held the puppy in his arms and looked at him, his eyes full of longing: “Qing Yang said that only if you agree… Can I raise it?”

He had wanted to raise a puppy for a long time, but his mother always said that puppies were dirty. Raising it near him would easily make him sick.

He found this puppy that had sneaked into the yard through a small hole when he was playing snowballs in the backyard, he really wanted to raise it!

Two pairs of large and small black eyes looked pitifully at Zhao Fangye. Looking at Song Huaixi’s hands tightly holding the puppy, what else could he say?

If he didn’t agree, this little fool would probably be very sad.

“As you wish.”

Upon hearing these words, the three people standing in place became happy.

Qing Shan and Qing Yang said to Song Huaixi: “Your Highness, give us the puppy, it’s dirty, we’ll take it back and wash it before you hold it.”

“Yes! I’ll also build a small house for it in the yard.”

Song Huaixi immediately became excited, holding the puppy and getting up: “Then let’s go quickly. Little puppy’s going to take a bath!”

After speaking, he walked towards the yard, his mind entirely focused on the puppy. Completely disregarding Zhao Fangye, whom he had urgently pulled along.

Zhao Fangye’s face turned cold.

He watched Song Huaixi’s retreating figure without speaking. Qing Yang and Qing Shan, seeing his expression, didn’t dare to act rashly.

Song Huaixi, with his mind entirely focused on the puppy, walked halfway and saw that the two hadn’t followed.

Turning back in confusion, seeing them standing still, he anxiously said: “Come on, it’s very cold in the snow. The puppy will get cold.”

Zhao Fangye was really amused, he left his affairs in the study to accompany him to see the puppy in the snow.

Song Huaixi, on the other hand, threw him away after using him, not caring about him at all. In the past, as long as he was present, Song Huaixi’s eyes would definitely be glued to him.

Now, his gaze was taken away by a small animal.

Stepping forward, he picked up the puppy from his arms and threw it into Qing Shan’s arms. Zhao Fangye grabbed Song Huaixi and walked towards the side hall.

Song Huaixi didn’t understand, he was pulled into the room. Before he could speak, Zhao Fangye pinned him against the door and blocked his lips.

“Mmm…”

Zhao Fangye’s scorching heat invaded, forcefully seizing the air in Song Huaixi’s mouth. The moist and hot sensation caused Song Huaixi to tremble.

Zhao Fangye wrapped his arms around his waist, pressed him against the door, and kissed him hard. Forcing him to gasp for breath.

It was clearly meant as punishment.

Song Huaixi had difficulty breathing, keenly sensing that Zhao Fangye was a little unhappy. He reached out, pressing against his chest, his brow furrowed as he turned his head to pant.

“Ha…you…”

Before he could even catch his breath, Zhao Fangye kissed him hard again.

Unlike the previous two times of gentleness, this time it was full of aggression. Song Huaixi couldn’t resist, his whole body softened.

If Zhao Fangye hadn’t reached out to hold him, he would have already slid to the ground.

When Song Huaixi was released, his entire face had turned a moist red. He leaned weakly on Zhao Fangye’s shoulder, panting.

Covering his swollen lips, Song Huaixi complained with a pout: “It hurts, Zhao Fangye.”

He didn’t know why this time was different.

Zhao Fangye pinched his chin, looking at his crimson lips with a satisfied expression: “This is punishment.”

“Why are you punishing me?” Song Huaixi was a little aggrieved, grabbing Zhao Fangye’s chest and asking.

He hadn’t done anything wrong again.

He didn’t like this, it hurt. He liked Zhao Fangye gently kissing him, it was very comfortable.

Looking at his aggrieved pout, his fair face looking pitiful, Zhao Fangye couldn’t help but peck him again.

In his confused and aggrieved eyes, he said forcefully: “Because in your eyes, there can only be me.”
