Help! The innocent prince always tries to seduce me clumsily

Chu Shifan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would be heard talking about others behind their backs.

If it was anyone else, it would be fine, but the one who died had to be the most petty and vengeful person in the whole capital.

Chu Shifan heard Chu Shitong's chuckle, and came back to his senses. He said with embarrassment, "Your Highness, why are you eavesdropping on others?"

Si Jingli refuted confidently: "Who eavesdropped on you? You have such a loud voice, I heard you saying bad things about me as soon as I got to the door! Do you still want to quibble?"

Chu Shifan was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to explain after being caught, so he had to secretly pull at the corner of Chu Shitong's clothes.

Chu Shitong naturally received the hint of help from his cousin, but Si Jingli was angry, and Chu Shitong's open words of help would only add fuel to the fire.

She pulled out the gold-inlaid white jade screen fan from her waist, slowly opened it and waved it gently. She looked at Si Jingli with her eyes as light as glass, and the inky hair beside her ears was blown by the breeze. She spoke slowly, with a teasing tone in her voice.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and your highness is getting more and more angry."

Si Jingli had been secretly watching Chu Shitong for a long time, but he was embarrassed because Chu Shitong didn't take the initiative to speak first.

As soon as Chu Shitong opened his mouth, Si Jingli could no longer suppress the longing that had accumulated over the past few days. With a look of resentment on his face, he said, "Chu Shitong, I haven't seen you for a few days. You didn't care about what your cousin said about me."

Chu Shitong knew very well that the young master was not blaming these things. The four words he emphasized in this sentence were the real reason why he was sulking.

But she just wanted to play a trick on him and pretended not to understand Si Jingli's implication.

"Your Highness has misunderstood. It's not that I don't care. But before I could say anything, His Highness came in. What my cousin said was just a joke, right, cousin?"

Chu Shifan nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was just joking. Your Highness, don't take it seriously. Little Prince, send the best wine from the restaurant over. I will apologize to Your Highness."

Si Jingli snorted coldly and gave up.

Then he sat down next to Chu Shitong reluctantly.

Chu Shifan knew that he had made Si Jingli unhappy, so he quickly and attentively handed over the menu.

"Come, come, come, His Royal Highness, order the food."

In fact, he didn't need to be so servile, but he had an inexplicable premonition that if he made Si Jingli unhappy, Chu Shitong might not be happy either.

Si Jingli didn't even glance at the menu and said directly, "What's good to order? Bring me one portion of all the dishes."

Chu Shifan's face suddenly became grim: "Ah?"

Chu Shitong couldn't help laughing, as if he heard the sound of Chu Shifan's broken heart.

Si Jingli leaned back in his chair, like a naughty child playing a prank, with the corners of his mouth raised with pride.

"Why? You can't bear to part with it? You can't bear to part with even a little bit of silver and yet you want to apologize to this prince?"

Chu Shifan thought about his plan for tonight, then gritted his teeth and endured it, accepting defeat like a defeated rooster.

"Then have them all."

The waiter saw Chu Shifan's painful expression and immediately agreed happily.

"okay!"

There was a table full of delicacies from land and sea, a total of eighty-four dishes filling the entire table.

The waiter brought up pot after pot of fine wine as if it were free.

Chu Shitong reached out to pick up the food, but before he put it in his bowl, he felt like he was being stared at by death.

She secretly glanced at Chu Shifan, who was drinking alone. She breathed a sigh of relief and put the food she had picked up into Si Jingli's plate.

Si Jingli's expression looked better, but he still put on airs and looked like he didn't want to talk to anyone.

"I thought His Royal Highness Prince Qi was so busy lately that he forgot everything."

This is a deadly familiar ambiguity.

Chu Shitong said softly, "Your Highness is joking."

"Humph, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you had completely forgotten about me."

Chu Shitong quickly poured wine for the little ancestor.

"Your Highness, you are too kind."

Si Jingli was about to say something sarcastic, but unexpectedly Chu Shitong appeared calm on the surface and suddenly grabbed his hand silently under the table.

Si Jingli was about to open his mouth, but immediately closed it again.

Not only were they closed, but the tips of their ears also turned red.

He glared at Chu Shitong, who looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Si Jingli was startled and immediately looked down. If Chu Shitong's hand had not been still carefully feeling the back of his hand, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.

His face was slightly hot, and he tried to keep his tone steady: "No, nothing, I just feel it's rare. His Royal Highness Prince Qi will also pour me some wine."

"Not only will I pour wine for His Royal Highness, I will also toast to His Royal Highness."

After Chu Shitong finished speaking, she picked up the wine jug and wanted to pour herself some wine, but found it was empty. Before she realized what was wrong, she picked up another jug, but found it was still empty.

Only then did Chu Shitong and Si Jingli realize that something was wrong.

The wine has just been served. I’m afraid there’s not even enough time for a cup of tea?

The two turned to look at Chu Shifan, who had been silent, and found that Chu Shifan was drinking like crazy.

Five or six of the wine jugs on the table were empty.

This scene stunned both of them.

Si Jingli glanced at the empty wine jar in front of Chu Shifan, frowned unhappily and said, "This prince knows that this meal cost you a lot of money, but there is no need for you to force yourself to drink like this, right? Do you think you don't have to pay if you are drunk and unconscious?"

Chu Shifan waved his hand with a worried look on his face, "It's not what Your Highness thinks. I don't care about the money for this meal."

Si Jingli asked: "Why is that?"

"Ugh--"

Chu Shifan let out a long sigh, then lay on the wine table and howled like a ghost.

"Xiao Qi, what should I do? I'm still a little timid. I feel like I'm very timid when I see her. Am I a coward?..."

Si Jingli seemed to have tasted the melon, his eyes brightened and he quickly looked towards Chu Shitong.

Chu Shitong smiled and said, "Cousin, if you are really timid, it is not too late to give up now."

"Don't give up! I absolutely won't give up!" Chu Shifan was instantly strengthened by Chu Shitong's encouragement, "I will definitely talk to her today! No one can stop me!"

Si Jingli secretly squeezed Chu Shitong's hand and asked, "Chu Shitong, what is he talking about?"

Chu Shitong whispered in his ear, but deliberately said in a voice that Chu Shifan could hear: "He is bragging."

Si Jingli looked at him in confusion, with an innocent expression. Under the bright light, her peach blossom eyes were incredibly beautiful.

Chu Shifan was so stimulated that he instantly got excited and slammed the table with a loud noise.

"Xiao Qi! Who are you talking about? Are we still good brothers?"

Chu Shitong turned his head and pretended to be innocent and said, "No, how could I say that my cousin was bragging? My cousin said he would go, so he would definitely go. Even if I told him not to go, he would have to go, right?"

Chu Shifan was obviously drunk. Being provoked by Chu Shitong, he stood up and said in a loud voice with full confidence: "You two, one is my cousin and the other is my good brother (Si Jingli showed a look of disgust at this point). You are both close to me. I am not afraid to tell you that even if Xie Chuchu rejected me today, I am not afraid. I will pester her to death. If she disagrees, I will pester her until she agrees! If Xie Chuchu has the guts, break my legs, otherwise I will follow her to the ends of the earth. Even if she really breaks my legs, I will chase her to the ends of the earth in a wheelchair!"

"it is good!"

The moment he finished speaking, Chu Shitong couldn't help but want to applaud, but he remembered that he was still holding Si Jingli's hand, so he didn't applaud.

Chu Shifan was so flattered by the praise that he was just crossing his arms and squinting his eyes, enjoying the pleasure of bragging, when he suddenly heard Chu Shitong's next words.

"Xie Chuchu, have you heard my cousin's feelings for you?"

Chu Shifan was so frightened that he sobered up immediately and looked towards the door quickly.

Xie Chuchu was standing at the door holding a plate of newly developed desserts. She was wearing a plain and elegant white and blue dress, her long hair was tied up, and she had a translucent jade hairpin. There was a hint of surprise in her calm eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

Chu Shifan was completely stunned. Chu Shitong later used the words to describe his expression when he confessed:

He stood there like an idiot, his eyes glued to Xie Chuchu, his saliva dripping. In the last second, he wanted to proudly declare his love to the whole world, and in the next second, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, wishing that a crack would suddenly appear in the ground for him to crawl into, rather than humiliating himself in front of the house.

If it weren't for that handsome face, anyone with this expression and action would be considered a pervert with lustful intent.

Xie Chuchu shifted her gaze away from Chu Shifan and walked towards Chu Shitong with the dessert on the plate.

There were several pieces of cut dessert on the plate, which was very similar to the birthday cake before, except that the cream was sprinkled with soybean powder.

"His Royal Highness King Qi, His Highness the Crown Prince."

She bowed and placed the snacks on the table of Chu Shitong and Si Jingli.

"This is the restaurant's new dessert, soy milk cake. Please try it."

Si Jingli glanced at Chu Shifan, who was sweating profusely due to guilt, and then looked at Xie Chuchu who turned a blind eye, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

This smile made Chu Shifan's entire face turn red all the way to his neck.

Xie Chuchu said, "There is something else going on in the kitchen. Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you."

"Well, let's go."

Chu Shitong had no intention of stopping him.

Xie Chuchu turned around and left without any reluctance or even a glance at Chu Shifan.

Chu Shifan panicked, his expression became flustered and pitiful, but he didn't dare to go out and chase Xie Chuchu directly, so he could only wink at Chu Shitong frantically.

Chu Shitong seemed to be blind. He didn't even look at it. He just used the knife on the plate to cut a piece of soy milk cake and handed it to Si Jingli.

Si Jingli seemed not to notice Chu Shifan's expression as if he was about to cry. He took the cake and took a bite. He seemed to like it very much. His watery peach blossom eyes curved with satisfaction.

After Xie Chuchu walked out of the door, Chu Shifan seemed to have regained his breath. He was so nervous just now that he even held his breath tightly.

"Xiao Qi! Why didn't you stop her?"

"Why would I stop her?"

Chu Shifan couldn't help but plead, "Ask her what she thought when she heard what I just said."

"I asked."

Chu Shitong said, "She didn't answer me, did she? Besides, it's not my place to get involved in the matter between you two. I'm grateful to Xie Chuchu for helping me, and I don't want her to reluctantly agree to my cousin's request just because of this relationship. It's not good for my cousin either."

Chu Shifan lost his temper instantly and slumped down in his chair, his face full of despair.

Si Jingli also understood why Chu Shifan came here to eat tonight.

Seeing Chu Shifan like this, he suddenly laughed and said, "Chu Shifan, you don't think you have failed and decided to give up on yourself, do you?"

Chu Shifan didn't say anything. He looked so dull and depressed that it made people feel distressed for no reason.

Si Jingli looked at him half dead, couldn't help but sighed, and urged: "Go after her quickly."

Chu Shifan said in a low voice: "She doesn't want to answer this question, isn't it because she is embarrassed to reject me... If that's the case, why should I keep pestering her... She hates me in the first place..."

"Idiot." Si Jingli said, "She is a woman. Chu Shitong and I are here. How can she have the nerve to answer you directly? Didn't you just say that you would pester her to agree? You said it, and she listened to you. Now she looks so cowardly that this prince really despises her."

"Your Highness, can't you say something nice to show your sympathy for me?" Chu Shifan said helplessly, "I don't dare to pursue her because I know she doesn't like me. I know she hates me, and I don't want to see her look of disgust towards me."

"Has she ever told you in person that she hates you?"

Chu Shifan was stunned.

Si Jingli said very seriously: "If not, then you are just imagining things. If yes, then you should keep chasing her until her indifference and ruthlessness make you give up. Being brave is always better than being cowardly."

Chu Shifan seemed to be moved, but still a little hesitant.

"Your Highness, are you not framing me with these words?"

Si Jingli sneered, "Does this prince really need to do that? Don't use this princehood as an excuse to find an excuse for yourself to escape. This princehood is not as cowardly as you."

He suddenly looked at Chu Shitong, "If this prince really likes someone, it doesn't matter if I have to rob her, even if it means breaking her legs or locking her in a cage for the rest of her life. This prince can do it. Chu Shifan, you can't do it. In the final analysis, either you don't like her enough or you are too cowardly."

Chu Shifan fell into deep thought, and he really began to think seriously about Si Jingli's words.

Chu Shitong touched his leg silently.

Fortunately, it's still there.

It is extremely effective for a straightforward and innocent puppy like Si Jingli to persuade Chu Shifan, who is also impulsive and straightforward.

Chu Shifan pondered for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Only then did Si Jingli feel better.

"If he doesn't go today, I won't play with him anymore."

Chu Shitong praised sincerely: "Your Highness is really amazing."

There were only two of them in the room, and it seemed that the temperature had risen quite a bit with one person missing.

Si Jingli looked at Chu Shitong, and suddenly he felt like he was addicted to hugging her.

But he didn't dare to do so because Chu Shifan, a coward, might give up at any time and break into the house and find out.

So I can only resist this urge.
