Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

When Gu Qingzhi appeared in the back hall, Feng Zhanye still hadn't touched a single bite of food. Aunt Liu shook her head repeatedly when she saw her coming, and the young man in the room turned around and lay down again when he saw her come in, leaving only his back exposed to her.

"Your Highness, if you don't get up to eat, the food will get cold." Gu Qingzhi came to the couch, carrying a few oil paper bags and putting them aside.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zhan Ye simply closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring her.

Gu Qingzhi curled her lips, not intending to indulge him in avoiding the problem any longer, so she pulled him up and sat him up with the quilt.

Feeling the cool breeze blowing into his clothes, Feng Zhanye could no longer pretend and glared at her: "What are you doing!"

"When I came back last night, I specially bought your favorite Poria cocos cake. You were angry and ignored me yesterday. Do you want to try it now?" Gu Qingzhi pointed to the oil paper bag beside her.

The boy was not greedy, and he did not buy into her tricks. He turned his head away and said, "No."

Expected.

"Well, I also brought some interesting things. If you eat well, I will bring them to you later." Gu Qingzhi patiently persuaded her.

Feng Zhanye snorted expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Gu Qingzhi: “Isn’t it?”

"You!" Feng Zhanye was not going to pay attention to her again.

The last resort!

Gu Qingzhi stood up and sighed pretentiously: "Since Your Highness still doesn't want to pay attention to me, I might as well go to Madam Liu to ask for my resignation. After all, you also said that you don't want to see me again."

Having said that, she pretended to leave, deliberately slowing down her pace to observe Feng Zhanye's reaction.

The boy's breathing sounded in her ears, from light to heavy, becoming more and more disordered. He kept staring at her, and finally, when she was about to step out of the door of the back hall, the person behind her became anxious.

Feng Zhanye stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, "If you leave today, don't ever come back!"

His voice became more trembling as he spoke, and tears fell uncontrollably. He wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and sobbed continuously, but no matter what he said, he could not stop feeling wronged.

Gu Qingzhi didn't expect that her action would make him cry. She suddenly felt that her move was a bit despicable and quickly retreated to the couch.

"Don't cry, I won't leave."

She sat down next to him and patted his back gently to soothe him.

But the boy didn't stop sobbing, instead he cried even harder, throwing himself into Gu Qingzhi's arms and holding her waist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would run away if he was not careful.

"Are you really not leaving?"

The boy's slender eyes were filled with tears. He looked up at her with tears in his eyes. The tears flowed down and wet the back of her hand.

After being asked this, Gu Qingzhi did feel a little guilty. She reached out to wipe away his tears, held his face and comforted him softly: "Really, I didn't lie to you this time, but you have to promise me that you will never go to a dangerous place like Wutong Lane alone again, okay?"

The distance was very close, and the face in front of him, which used to be very cold, now showed real worry. Feng Zhanye couldn't help but forgive her. He buried his head in her arms and nodded gently.

Such a familiar embrace and familiar smell finally made him feel at ease, and his tears stopped immediately.

Gu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. She had finally coaxed the child into submission. It was not easy at all.

When the person in her arms gradually calmed down, Gu Qingzhi reached out for the oil paper bag beside her and untied the rope.

A sweet aroma emanates from it. Although it has been wrapped for a long time and the crust has obviously become much softer, the aroma remains and is even stronger now.

Gu Qingzhi handed the Poria cocos cake to Feng Zhanye's mouth. Seeing him stunned for a moment, then opening his little mouth and biting it obediently, she finally relaxed.

However, even though he took a bite, he didn't hold the food with his hands. It was as if he deliberately didn't want to move. He just raised his face and took another bite.

This posture was really weird. Gu Qingzhi could only sit upright when being held like this. She always felt a little awkward, but she didn't know what to say.

The young man raised his head and glanced at her, with a hint of pride in his eyes and the corners of his mouth curved up.

Gu Qingzhi was keenly aware of his little movements and knew that he did it on purpose, but after coaxing him into submission, she did not intend to expose him.

She ate two pieces of Poria cocos cakes in a row until Feng Zhanye felt his mouth was a little dry, and then he let her go.

Gu Qingzhi finally had time to catch her breath, and helped him to sit down at the table with a sense of relief. She poured him a glass of water, and watched him eat all the food on the table bit by bit.

Gu Qingzhi put the dishes back into the kitchen, and when she returned to the back hall, Feng Zhanye was squatting on the doorstep waiting for her.

Seeing her coming over, he held his cheek up and asked her, "You just said you brought me something interesting. What is it?"

Gu Qingzhi looked at the sky which was still early and planned to keep it a secret for now. Just then, the hot water in the side room was ready, so she said, "Go take a shower first, and I'll tell you when you're done."

"Okay." Feng Zhanye was obedient, but when he reached the door of the side room, he realized something was wrong and stopped belatedly.

"You...I'd better wash it myself."

Gu Qingzhi looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Why? Didn't I wash you last time?"

Feng Zhanye's face turned even redder, and he stammered in a low voice, "Last time... I didn't know you were a woman, but now I know, there are differences between men and women..."

Gu Qingzhi burst out laughing. It was a good thing that the child had awareness of the gender of the child. But wasn’t it a bit too late for him to realize now that she had already seen everything?

She coughed twice to cover it up, opened the door to the side room for him, and leaned close to his ear to tease him: "Then you better be careful and don't fall again, otherwise I will have to go in to 'help' you."

Feng Zhanye's neck was now completely red, as red as a cooked shrimp. Seeing Gu Qingzhi looking at him with a smile in her eyes, he could not say anything to refute her, so he could only scold her: "You! You have no shame!"

After saying that, he fled into the side room, closed the door, leaned against it, covered his red face, and muttered softly: "Why are you smiling so beautifully? It's really annoying..."

When Feng Zhanye came out of the shower, he did not see Gu Qingzhi at the door of the side room. He looked around for her, but when he walked into the yard, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, there was only a ray of sunset in the sky, and the moon was in the sky, with spots of light rippling in the microwave.

Under the cotinus coggygria tree, in the pond in front of the pavilion, lotus flowers are floating on the water.

There is a candle in the center of each lotus, and a thin figure is squatting by the pool, fiddling with something in his hands.

She noticed his presence and raised her hand to call him over.

Feng Zhanye walked closer and looked at the moving scene, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

"Take it." Gu Qingzhi handed him the lit lotus lantern in her hand and pulled him to squat by the pool.

Feng Zhanye looked at the lotus lantern in his hand that reflected the warm candlelight. The faint flame was dancing vividly, looking fragile yet tough.

She held his hand, gently placed the lotus lantern into the water, and stirred the water surface twice, and the lotus lantern slowly floated into the pond.

Feng Zhanye remembered that when he was a child, there was always a custom of lighting lotus lanterns during festivals in the palace. However, he and his mother could never join in the lively scene, so his mother had to fold paper into small boats and put them in basins of water instead.

He always envied those who could release lotus lanterns and envied them for being able to make many wishes, but he never thought that one day he would be able to release a lotus lantern with his own hands.

"Like it?"

The warm candlelight and the silver moonlight reflected on Gu Qingzhi's face at the same time, making her look like a dream and somewhat unreal.

Feng Zhanye nodded blankly: "I like it."

"Then make a wish." Gu Qingzhi took out the last lotus lantern and put the flame into the wick.

Unconsciously, Feng Zhanye's eyes were moistened. He smiled and said, "If it could come true... it would be great if my evil spirit was fake."

The candle wick was lit, and the boy's wish was so simple that it made people feel sad.

Gu Qingzhi held the lotus lantern, looked at him seriously, and said slowly and firmly: "Believe me, your wish will come true one day."
