The Prince Consort's Beloved

Li Yuanrou did nothing all day long. When he slept with Qingluan at night, he often climbed on top of Qingluan while sleeping. Qingluan finally couldn't stand it anymore and decided to sleep on the floor. Li Yuanrou couldn't bear it and moved out.

The night I moved out, I couldn't sleep because I was not used to it, and I tossed and turned until midnight.

Everyone was asleep and the whole world was eerily silent. The more she closed her eyes, the more awake she became. It seemed as if the fear shrouded in darkness had already been deeply rooted.

Recently, I suddenly feel extremely lonely at night and long for Xiao Luobai's kiss and hug. This feeling is particularly obvious after I learned Xiao Luobai's true identity.

She used to think that it was because she did not receive much love in her childhood and it was an instinctive desire. She didn't think there was anything wrong when the two of them stuck together every day in the princess's mansion. At most, she would feel empty in her heart if they were separated for more than two days, and that was all.

This feeling of emptiness has reached an unprecedented level recently, as if it had reached its peak because Xiao Luobai's identity was exposed, making her unable to control herself.

With a status like his, it is impossible that even someone as thick-skinned as Li Yuanrou would not have any thoughts at all.

Everyone around Xiao Luobai is working hard to pave the way for him to get that identity. Zhuge Hongzhan and the others are going back to Beiluo Kingdom. She has thought about whether Xiao Luobai will go back.

She had been worried for no reason these past two days. She was afraid that Xiao Luobai would leave, and she was also afraid that his identity would be discovered if he stayed in Daiyue.

At this moment, she missed him so much. The magical sense of security and satisfaction she felt when he patted her and hugged her was the medicine that helped her overcome everything.

There were strange noises coming from outside and the leaves rustled.

Li Yuanrou curled up alone in the darkness, endless fear, worry and sorrow rising and falling like the tide, constantly hitting her.

The candle wick has shown a tendency to fall.

Finally, the last bit of light was about to disappear.

The door suddenly opened out of nowhere.

He came in a hurry, and when he saw the dim light in the room and the reflection of an awake person in the window, he didn't even have time to knock on the door. He opened it directly with a palm wind.

When Xiao Luobai saw Li Yuanrou curled up on the bed with her knees hugged, his thick eyebrows were furrowed together, and a deep sense of pity filled his dark eyes.

In his dreams, she had also been so helpless. No matter how hard he tried or how much he cared, he could not touch her. Now he could reach her with just a stretch of his hand. How could he let the situation in his dream happen again?

Xiao Luobai hurriedly climbed onto the bed and hugged Li Yuanrou, whose eyes were red.

Li Yuanrou was surrounded by the broad and strong chest. The familiar cold breath brought her a sense of incomparable peace of mind, as if countless warm currents were rushing into her heart, and the sunshine that filled the sky and the earth was shining on her alone.

Xiao Luobai held her in his arms and coaxed her softly, patting her back again and again like he did every time she was vulnerable.

"Rou'er, you must be scared, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your husband is coming..."

Xiao Luobai patted her, hugged her, and coaxed her. An indescribable sense of warmth and security quickly flowed through her body.

It was fine before Xiao Luobai was around, but once I felt his warmth and meticulous care, my desire for him was like a faucet that could not be turned on.

Li Yuanrou's tears instantly collapsed in her eyes.

Xiao Luobai thought Li Yuanrou was frightened and crying, so he hugged her tighter, and put his big hand on her head to comfort her, and kept muttering to her like he was coaxing a child: "Dear, don't be afraid, Rou'er, don't be afraid..."

Li Yuanrou looked up in fear: "There was a strange noise outside just now..."

When Xiao Luobai thought about the situation when he just met Kunpeng, he suddenly became furious.

Kunpeng stayed up late at night and punched a tree outside. The tree was not far from Li Yuanrou's room. After a few punches, the tree was about to fall down. He was so angry that he scolded the man. By now Kunpeng had left.

Xiao Luobai took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Someone was cutting down trees outside just now."

Li Yuanrou was puzzled, her voice still choking with sobs: "Who would cut down trees in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Luobai frowned, and hesitated to speak: "He is a mentally retarded person taken in by the village."

After Xiao Luobai finished speaking, his tone became gentle again: "I have just sent that man away, don't think about him, everything is fine now."

Li Yuanrou nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Is your leg okay if you come here like this?"

Xiao Luobai shook his head gently, staring at her with doting eyes, reaching out to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and said with a smile: "Little crybaby."

Li Yuanrou felt his tenderness and slowly began to sob.

As she was smoking, she started to cry loudly: "I want to be more sober and less dependent on you..."

Xiao Luobai listened to her words and saw how she relied on him. His laughter was intoxicating and magnetic: "You should rely on me. I like you to rely on me."

Li Yuanrou raised her head, her long eyelashes slightly raised, tears falling a few times, she sniffed again: "What if one day you are gone?"

Xiao Luobai gently stroked the top of Li Yuanrou's head with his chin, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "No."

He seemed to feel that what he said was too vague, so he repeated it again: "I will not be absent."

Seeing her silent and gloomy, Xiao Luobai held the person in his arms tighter, as if no matter how close he was, he was still far away.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his eyes filled with tenderness: "If I leave you, my longing for you will kill me."

It was a long time before Li Yuanrou finally understood that lovesickness could actually kill people...

Xiao Luobai stood up and tried to get out of bed, but Li Yuanrou grabbed him anxiously and asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Luobai looked over with soft eyes and suddenly smiled: "I'll go change the candle, it's almost out."

He quickly went downstairs to trim the wick and replace the candle with a new one. When he turned around, he saw the little face looking at him expectantly. He quickly went onto the bed and hugged Li Yuanrou tightly, unable to help laughing out loud.

Li Yuanrou grabbed his collar and rubbed her tears on him, then glared at him with her red eyes: "What are you laughing at? I'm about to cry to death, and you're still laughing. Is it that funny? Are you laughing at me..."

He pulled the person into his arms again, as if no matter how close they were, they were still far away.

Li Yuanrou blinked her watery eyes and looked at him: "Xiao Luobai, you are so kind... You are much better to me than to others..."

Xiao Luobai's phoenix eyes curved slightly, and he wiped the tears from her face again. His voice was gentle, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was filled with tenderness and endless affection: "Sister Hua always says that I am cold and indifferent. Maybe I am really cold and indifferent by nature, and my tenderness is limited. I want to give all my tenderness to you...all my love, also to you..."

At this extremely vulnerable moment, Li Yuanrou was deeply moved by his love words and hugged him and broke down crying.

She cried sadly, and he smiled contentedly...

She said, "Stop laughing, I'm going to cry to death."

He laughed even more wantonly and kept calling her a little crybaby.

The two hugged each other for a while, and Li Yuanrou felt sleepy. Xiao Luobai was worried and said he would accompany her for one night. Li Yuanrou looked at the simple single bed under her and said against her will that she was fine now and was not afraid anymore.

With the warmth from his arms on her body, she felt that she should be able to fall asleep soon. Moreover, her bed was particularly small, and she was afraid of hurting Xiao Luobai, so she insisted that he go back to his room.

After she yawned several times, Xiao Luobai left obediently, and Li Yuanrou fell asleep with a candlelight.

When she woke up at dawn, she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Luobai sleeping on the table not far from the bed. It had been a whole night, and the candle was still burning. She didn't know whether Xiao Luobai was watching over her or the candle.

At this moment, Li Yuanrou felt that she was healed.

Li Yuanrou didn't wake her up, but secretly sobbed silently under the quilt.

Later, in countless nights without Xiao Luobai, Li Yuanrou would think of this night that made her feel safe. This night was like a trickle of hot spring water that soothed her lonely heart.

With him around, she doesn't need to be strong, Xiao Luobai will carry the burden for her.
