Lock and secure

After a night passed, the first ray of sunlight shone onto Luo Yao's face through the gap in the tent curtain. When Luo Yao woke up, the first thing he saw was Bei Zhenting's face.

Luo Yao stared at Bei Zhenting's handsome face in a daze.

Suddenly realizing that the sleeping person was about to wake up, Luo Yao tilted his head to the side and shrank inward, no longer looking at the person.

Bei Zhenting sat up and pulled him back, looking at him with amusement, "What are you looking at me for?"

Luo Yao shook his head awkwardly.

Bei Zhenting touched his head and said, "I like Yaoyao, does Yaoyao like me too?"

Luo Yao thought about it carefully and muttered, "I don't know."

I don’t know what it feels like to like someone… I don’t know what it means to like someone.

Bei Zhenting pretended to be angry and pinched his little face, "If you marry me, you can only like me, you can't dislike me!"

Luo Yao stared at Bei Zhenting's face motionlessly without saying a word.

Bei Zhenting brushed a strand of hair that was covering his eyes behind his ear and touched his head. The atmosphere suddenly became very gentle.

Yaoyao was particularly well-behaved today, and Bei Zhenting felt soft-hearted. He didn't want to ruin this rare warm moment, but he felt a fire burning in his heart.

There was a surge of excitement that made him particularly want to get close to Luo Yao at this moment. In fact, he did it. He pulled Luo Yao out from under the quilt and kissed him.

He kissed the man's mouth until a crimson stain was left on it before letting him go. Luo Yao wiped his mouth violently and looked at him angrily.

Bei Zhenting pinched his cheek and said, "Do you dislike me?!"

Luo Yao nodded in confusion for a moment, pouting and uttering three words, "My mouth... stinks."

Bei Zhenting was so angry that he laughed, "Does your leg still hurt?"

Luo Yao shook his head.

"Get up when the pain stops."

After a quick wash and applying some medicine, Bei Zhenting pulled Luo Yao out.

Seeing the two people walking out of the tent with their fingers intertwined, the guards outside had never seen such a scene before. Person No. 1 did not feel ashamed at all, while Person No. 2 was obviously in a state of shock. The guards were trembling with fear, and they lowered their heads, fearing that if they looked up and saw this scene, they would be beheaded by the prince.

Perhaps it was because he knew someone liked him after the confession, but person No. 2, Luo Yao, was feeling elated. He stared blankly at their hands, their index fingers joined together, a little deer dancing inside him, even having a small urge to show off to others.

There are so many people in this world, and they are all noisy, but his world is the only one that is silent. There are so many people in this world, and they cannot hear his voice, but there is only one person who seems to be responding to his cries.

How lucky it is to be liked by others.

Feeling the hand in his hand tighten a little, Bei Zhenting turned around to look at the man. The man lowered his head and his expression could not be seen. Bei Zhenting stopped and the man also stopped. Bei Zhenting walked over and held the man's face.

The man pursed his lips, tears welled up in his eyes. He wiped away his tears suddenly and turned his head away from him.

Bei Zhenting tucked Luo Yao's tear-soaked hair behind her ears and said helplessly, "How many times does Yaoyao cry in a day?"

Luo Yao threw his hand away, "Don't bother me!"

Bei Zhenting pulled him back, "Why not! I am in charge of everything about my princess!"

Luo Yao wiped her tears and looked at him angrily. Bei Zhenting raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Luo Yao's eyes.

"What to eat?"

"I want roast chicken!"

"It's a bit greasy. I won't eat that in the morning. I'll have them catch some pheasants tonight."

The people of Hualin Village sent some vegetables, and in the morning we had sweet and stomach-warming pumpkin porridge.

The three of them had breakfast together, and this time Luo Yao sat with his younger brother.

Perhaps because he was about to be separated from his brother, the little dumpling was in a bad mood. Luo Yao was infected by his brother's mood and felt depressed.

Bei Zhenting said that his younger brother went to Qingye Valley voluntarily, but did his younger brother really do so voluntarily?

Thinking of Bei Zhenting's fierceness and the possibility that he would threaten Xiaotuanzi, Luo Yao couldn't help but ask Xiaotuanzi softly: "Is Chenchen really willing to go to the Valley of Divine Doctors? If Chenchen doesn't want to go, then we won't go!"

When Luo Xinchen heard this, he was just a child after all, and started crying.

Bei Zhenting looked at the two brothers quietly without urging them.

Luo Xinchen dropped his golden beans for a while, sobbing and nodding.

Luo Yao felt so distressed. His little brother was so young, and he had been abducted so far away, and then experienced a fire. He must have been terrified. He finally saw his family, but he had to be separated from them again so soon. How could such a young child bear it!

"Brother will definitely write to Chenchen, and when things are done, brother will go and pick Chenchen up and take him home!"

Luo Xinchen nodded with tears in his eyes.

Luo Yao touched his brother's head and asked, "Do you want to fly a kite with your brother after dinner?"

Luo Xinchen Bei Zhenting: "What is a kite?"

Luo Yao: "It's a kite."

Little Dumpling: “I want to!”

"If you need anything, I will send someone to find it."

Luo Yao thought for a moment and said, "Bamboo, paper, and string."

Bei Zhenting: "Li Qingyun, go prepare the things the princess wants."

Li Qingyun agreed.

The three of them finished their porridge. The ingredients were ready, and the bowls and chopsticks were cleared away. Luo Yao sat on a small stool and cut bamboo strips.

Bei Zhenting saw that he was not very skilled at cutting bamboo and almost cut his fingers several times. Fearing that he would really cut his fingers off, he took over the work from him.

Luo Xinchen watched Bei Zhenting skillfully carve bamboo and imitated him with a wooden sword. Luo Yao saw envy in his brother's eyes.

"Little guy, when you grow up you will definitely be as powerful as the prince!"

Luo Xinchen stared at his brother intently and said naively, "Really? Then... can Chenchen become a general?"

Luo Yao touched his head and said, "Of course!"

Bei Zhenting threw cold water on him: "When you can beat this king, you can become a general."

Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting resentfully, while Luo Xinchen looked at Bei Zhenting intently, "Chenchen will definitely be able to beat me when he grows up!"

Bei Zhenting: "When the time comes, I will give you the position of General Zhenbei."

Luo Xinchen held his neck high and looked very proud.

The kite was quickly tied, and in the afternoon, the three of them went to the open lawn to fly the kite.

There was a breeze in the afternoon, and the kite flew high into the sky under the influence of the wind. Luo Xinchen was so excited that he ran after the kite while shouting "Brother, the kite is about to fly away."

He was probably the only kid in the world chasing a kite. Luo Yao laughed and shouted from behind, "Chenchen, reel in the line and run back!"

Luo Xinchen stared blankly at the kite in the sky and then at his brother. Suddenly, he seemed to come to his senses and ran towards his brother.

Luo Yao steadily caught his brother who was running towards him. The wind got a little stronger and the kite flew high into the sky. The three of them sat down on the lawn and watched the sunset.

The evening breeze blew across his face. Luo Xinchen was overly excited and hugged his brother and acted coquettishly, "I won't be able to see my brother anymore. Chenchen will sleep with my brother today and tomorrow!"

Luo Yao touched his head lovingly and agreed. Bei Zhenting stared at Luo Xinchen with a fierce look in his eyes.

Luo Xinchen stuck out her tongue, not afraid of Bei Zhenting at all.
