As soon as these words were spoken, Zhuifeng and Lu Pianpian slipped away as quickly as possible, and considerately closed the doors and windows for them to prevent them from being disturbed or peeped.

In the blink of an eye, they were the only two left in the huge room.

Xiao Chuyun still maintained the posture of leaning forward to check Shen Nanzhi's pulse.

The ink-black robe was spread out beside the bed. His ink-black, silky long hair was only half-fastened with a hairpin, and the remaining half was scattered behind him, now hanging beside Shen Nanzhi's hand.

Shen Nanzhi was extremely weak and his strength was no more than usual.

So, even though he grabbed his wrist, he didn't use much strength and easily grabbed Xiao Chuyun's wrist, preventing him from breaking free.

At that moment, Xiao Chuyun looked down at Shen Nanzhi with a hint of evasion in his eyes, which Shen Nanzhi saw clearly.

"Your Majesty, if I don't pretend to faint, when will you see me?"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Xiao Chuyun's eyes. He had underestimated Shen Nanzhi's sharpness and intelligence.

He seemed to be a little unsure about how to face Shen Nanzhi, so he subconsciously turned his head away. Before he could think of how to start talking, he heard Shen Nanzhi say again: "If the prince has something to hide, I won't ask. I just want to make sure that the prince is fine."

Having said that, Shen Nanzhi really let go of his hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuyun subconsciously turned his head, lowered his eyes, and met Shen Nanzhi's candid black eyes.

After making sure that she was not angry and not speaking in anger, Xiao Chuyun seemed to suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

He moved his body and sat down naturally beside Shen Nanzhi's bed before saying, "There is nothing to hide."

Shen Nanzhi raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

She always felt that Xiao Chuyun was a little strange, a little... awkward.

But Shen Nanzhi couldn't tell what went wrong.

After this incident, Shen Nanzhi did have many doubts and many questions she wanted to ask Xiao Chuyun, but she was not in a hurry. If he was willing to talk to her, she would just listen.

If Xiao Chuyun was unwilling, Shen Nanzhi would not have asked until she got to the bottom of it.

Everyone has secrets.

Just like herself, she also had things about her past life hidden in her heart that she had never told Xiao Chuyun about.

Xiao Chuyun had no obligation to tell her everything.

After being together for such a long time, apart from anything else, she believed that Xiao Chuyun would not hurt her, and even valued her more than she originally thought. This was enough.

Shen Nanzhi was mentally prepared for Xiao Chuyun to avoid talking about this.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun turned to look at her, and said with an unnatural look: "I have nothing to hide. I'm just a little...scared."

Scared.

The moment these words came out of Xiao Chuyun's mouth, Shen Nanzhi almost thought she had heard it wrong.

He always seems to be calm and cool, what is he afraid of?

Before Shen Nanzhi could think about it, Xiao Chuyun patiently explained, "I was afraid that my previous actions would scare you."

Whether it was when he saw her life hanging by a thread and he said with red eyes that he wanted to kill all those people, or after he carried her back like a madman and had everyone except Lu Pianpian stopped outside the yard, all these were very different from the gentleness and elegance he always showed in front of her.

What Xiao Chuyun didn't say was that he knew Shen Nanzhi liked a gentleman who was as gentle as jade.

Unfortunately he is not.

But for her, he could always put on that fake appearance and remain self-disciplined, gentle and friendly in front of her.

But he didn't expect that when he saw her life and death on that day, he completely lost his mind and had no time to pretend.

Xiao Chuyun was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would see him like that and that she would want to back out.

Because he didn't want to see her disappointed eyes, didn't want to hear her say words of regret, so he instinctively wanted to avoid her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chuyun turned his head away and said unnaturally: "I am sorry for disappointing Miss Shen and for my rude and disrespectful attitude towards the Shen family before."

Although his starting point at the time was not to let anyone disturb Lu Pianpian from treating Shen Nanzhi, after all, these were all Shen Nanzhi's family members.

In someone else's home, rudely stopping someone from looking at your own girl is a bit excessive no matter how you look at it.

He was paranoid and crazy that day, and the gentle image he had tried so hard to maintain was destroyed.

These are indisputable facts, and Xiao Chuyun is powerless to defend himself.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to meet Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

He seemed to be looking away, but his heart was in his throat, like a prisoner silently waiting for the judge to write.

The judge's pen was now in Shen Nanzhi's hand, waiting for her to decide life and death and make the final judgment.

But Shen Nanzhi didn't expect Xiao Chuyun to think this way.

And his tone was sincere, he wasn't joking with her.

But when those words are spoken, no matter how you listen, they sound so cautious and timid that it makes people feel distressed.

The dignified King of Zhenbei should not be so humble.

But this is how he looked in front of her.

Shen Nanzhi's heart tightened and he suddenly felt inexplicably anxious.

She wanted to say something, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.

However, Xiao Chuyun misunderstood. He felt that time was particularly unbearable and he had not received any response from Shen Nanzhi. He thought Shen Nanzhi agreed with what he said.

"Then you should take care of your body first..."

As he said this, he was about to leave, not wanting to be an eyesore in front of Shen Nanzhi at this time, but the moment he stood up, Shen Nanzhi grabbed his sleeve.

Xiao Chuyun looked back in surprise, and saw that in a desperate situation, Shen Nanzhi had barely supported himself and half sat up.

She was born with unparalleled beauty. Even without makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful and charming.

Because of her weak body, her face was pale. Even though she looked a little sick, it could not hide her good looks, and it made me feel even more pitiful for her.

Xiao Chuyun's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He lowered his eyes and said hesitantly, "Miss Shen..."

For a moment, Xiao Chuyun, who had always been extremely intelligent, became a little slow in the brain. He didn't know, and didn't dare to think about what Shen Nanzhi would say next.

He was cautious and looked at Shen Nanzhi nervously.

But Shen Nanzhi looked up at him and said seriously and firmly: "What kind of person am I in the eyes of the prince?"

Xiao Chuyun looked into Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

Shen Nanzhi continued, "I have a strong personality and cannot learn to be gentle like other girls. I will take revenge when I have a grudge, even if it means killing people and spilling blood, I can remain indifferent. I don't have the gentleness and kindness of other girls, and I even have a cruel and cold-blooded side that the prince has not seen. How does the prince see me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Chuyun's eyes fell on the sleeve that was being pulled by Shen Nanzhi.

The other party clearly didn't use any strength, but he couldn't get rid of him.

What Shen Nanzhi was grabbing was not his sleeve, but his heart.

Facing Shen Nanzhi's question, Xiao Chuyun answered without hesitation: "No matter what it looks like, Miss Shen wants the best."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled slightly: "That's right, just like what the prince once told me, the prince can always be himself in front of me."

Whether it's the gentle and modest gentleman, or the paranoid and cold King Zhenbei.

It’s all him, Xiao Chuyun.

She believed in him and would protect him.

Shen Nanzhi admitted that when she saw him say that he would make everyone pay for her life, she thought of the scene of him breaking the coffin in his previous life. His paranoid and crazy eyes did shock her, but it was not enough to scare her away.

Moreover, this also shows that he cares about himself.

There is no reason for her to refuse to do so when someone is wholeheartedly protecting her.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi tugged at Xiao Chuyun's sleeve and said gently but firmly: "You and I are already engaged. I want to marry the prince, and it's not just talk. The prince doesn't need to be so cautious in front of me. Just act according to your own temperament."

"Whatever the prince is like, it's fine. As long as the prince doesn't break his promise to me, I won't regret the engagement with the prince."

He promised her that he would help her protect the Shen family. She could always be herself and he would always be behind her.

This was the promise Xiao Chuyun made to her.

He did all this for her, so how could Shen Nanzhi criticize his temper?

Moreover, Shen Nanzhi wanted to say in her heart that she didn't want to see Xiao Chuyun being so cautious towards her, even giving her a feeling that he was deliberately being humble.

They will get married sooner or later, and she hopes that in the future the relationship between her and Xiao Chuyun will be easy, harmonious and real.

There was no need for him to cover up or pretend so hard in order to avoid being disliked or dissatisfied by her.

However, when Xiao Chuyun heard these words, they aroused some delusional thoughts in his heart, which he had been trying hard to suppress.

He frowned slightly, his eyes inadvertently brushing across Shen Nanzhi's delicate lips, his eyes darkened: "Really?"

Shen Nanzhi had no doubts and nodded with a smile, "Of course."

Perhaps because she had said it, the tension in Shen Nanzhi's heart relaxed. She had originally been struggling to sit up, but now as she relaxed her whole body, she suddenly let go of the strength.

In order to trick Xiao Chuyun into showing up, she pretended to be exhausted and fainted.

But after propping himself up with his elbows and talking for a long time, Shen Nanzhi was really out of strength.

She originally wanted to let go of Xiao Chuyun's sleeve and then lie down slowly, but as soon as she let go, she fell uncontrollably onto the bed.

There were soft pillows and quilts under her, so as long as she didn't hit the edge of the bed, it wouldn't be a big deal even if she fell.

But Xiao Chuyun still leaned forward at the first moment.

He raised his hand and held Shen Nanzhi's shoulders, holding her in his arms.

Because the distance was so close, even if Xiao Chuyun reacted quickly enough, in order to cushion the force of Shen Nanzhi's fall, he and Shen Nanzhi fell onto the bed together.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi was held firmly in his arms and was not hurt at all.

But in this way, the two of them rolled on the bed, Shen Nanzhi's head rested on Xiao Chuyun's chest, with her soft and fragrant body in his arms, in just a moment, Xiao Chuyun's heart instantly lost its mind.

His cheek was pressed against the top of Shen Nanzhi's head.

The unique fragrance of hers filled his face, and Xiao Chuyun's breathing became tighter. Thinking of what Shen Nanzhi had just said, Xiao Chuyun said in a hoarse voice: "Miss Shen said that in front of you, I don't have to be restrained and I can be myself without worry?"

Shen Nanzhi was held in Xiao Chuyun's arms, feeling somewhat puzzled. She was clearly safe, but Xiao Chuyun still didn't let her go.

She was forced to press against his chest at the collarbone, and their breathing was audible.

Shen Nanzhi's heartbeat also suddenly accelerated. Although she didn't know why Xiao Chuyun came back to confirm it, Shen Nanzhi still said seriously: "Yes, since I have decided to marry the prince, I have made preparations to advance and retreat with the prince. In the future, we will be husband and wife. The prince really doesn't need to be so formal with me."

Xiao Chuyun's heart was beating wildly.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Nanzhi's tender and tempting lips. He heard everything Shen Nanzhi said, but his consciousness was a little dazed. He only vaguely heard "marry the prince" and "husband and wife are one".

These words stimulated Xiao Chuyun's breathing to deepen a little.

The hand he held around Shen Nanzhi's shoulders was like holding a fragile treasure. He didn't dare to use any force at all, but the fingertips that were touching her sleeves couldn't help but clench.

But even my clenched fingertips couldn't suppress this desire.

Looking at the lips so close to him and the soft and fragrant person in his arms, Xiao Chuyun's Adam's apple rolled.

He couldn't help but lower his head, but at the moment when he wanted to kiss her lips, thinking of her current body, Xiao Chuyun finally regained his senses. He rubbed his lips against her cheek and turned his head away.

His lips were pressed against Shen Nanzhi's ear, and his hot breath made Shen Nanzhi's whole body stiffen.

Haruhi's clothes were thin, and at such a close distance, their skin was almost touching.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't tell why her heart was beating so fast.

Xiao Chuyun's reaction was a little unusual, and Shen Nanzhi didn't know what was wrong with him.

He could clearly let her go, but he still held her so tightly.

Especially after she had just told him that he didn't need to pretend in front of her and could just be himself, Xiao Chuyun's change was a little strange.

Moreover, what was Xiao Chuyun trying to do just now?

Shen Nanzhi was puzzled and asked subconsciously: "Prince?"

Because she was recuperating at home, Shen Nanzhi was only wearing pajamas.

Because of the struggle between the two of them just now, the collar of the thin nightgown was slightly open.

From Xiao Chuyun's perspective, the exquisite ups and downs seemed looming.

His gaze swept across Shen Nanzhi's cheek, and inadvertently he happened to see this beautiful scene.

Just one glance and Xiao Chuyun's breath was taken away.

He took a deep breath, his fingertips pinching Shen Nanzhi's sleeves turned white, and he used the greatest self-control in his life to barely speak in a hoarse voice: "You said it."

Shen Nanzhi was puzzled: "Yes, what's the problem?"

She thought about it carefully and felt that there shouldn't be any problem.

Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, she felt Xiao Chuyun's breath getting hotter and hotter beside her ear, and then she heard him say faintly: "No problem, but... not now... have to wait until you get better..."

Shen Nanzhi is now as fragile as a piece of blank paper.

No matter how many romantic thoughts Xiao Chuyun had, he would not dare to be the least bit presumptuous.

The inexperienced Shen Nanzhi did not hear the hidden meaning in Xiao Chuyun's words.

She was still thinking, what's wrong with that now?

She told Xiao Chuyun that he didn't need to pretend in front of her and just be himself. What did it have to do with her getting along?

Could it be that he was afraid that her heart couldn't take it and wanted to scare her?

Before Shen Nanzhi could figure out what was going on, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her ear.

Xiao Chuyun bit her earlobe...

Shen Nanzhi: !!!
