The confidant was his brother, who had grown up with him since childhood, nad Han Li, a military general. Trusted with the national surna by Han Ziqi, he was very trusted. Han Li was different from the always gentle and refined n of Sannan, being very rough and robust. Unlike Han Ziqi, he didn’t pay much attention to Xie Jue and Fang Chuning, so he shook his head.
"Are you overthinking it?"
"Aren’t I? Beining is quite sensitive, one is a prince, and the other is a general in command, they wouldn’t dare, would they? Otherwise, how could Xie Xun keep his throne stable?" Han Ziqi thought, maybe he really was overthinking!
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he saw Fang Chuning picking wild fruits from the forest and stuffing them to Xie Jue’s mouth, where Xie Jue naturally opened his mouth to eat. Fang Chuning didn’t know what he was saying, but Xie Jue’s face was expressionless, while he smiled ambiguously and tenderly.
Han Ziqi, "..."
He swore, this was definitely flirting!!!
In the afternoon, when they were reorganizing the troops, Fang Chuning and Lin Xiao went into the woods to find so wild ga. There were many kinds of wild fruits in the southern mountains, sweet and juicy, which the soldiers of Beining were very fond of. Every ti during breaks, so liked to search for wild fruits in the forest or hunt so ga, and Fang Chuning always went with the soldiers, washing the found fruits clean for Xie Jue. Han Ziqi even heard a soldier complain that the wild fruits he picked were snatched by Fang Chuning!
Almost any good thing, Fang Chuning would give to Xie Jue, and he took care of him very attentively. Obviously, Xie Jue had a Shadow Guard, but it was Fang Chuning who attended to his needs. The two were inseparable, even sharing a room at the post station. Han Ziqi had investigated Xie Jue thoroughly and naturally knew his preferences and temperant; for him to allow Fang Chuning to be so playful and intimate was rare, as this Prince Yan wasn’t soone even his own brothers could get so close to. Though along the way, Xie Jue never showed Fang Chuning a pleasant face, it was like the story of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai—one willing to give a beating and the other willing to take it.
Fang Chuning just delighted in teasing him, take the wild fruit, for instance, though Xie Jue couldn’t walk and was in a wheelchair, his hands were unhard, why was there a need to feed it to his mouth?
These were the flirting tricks between lovers!
And they acted so naturally!
Han Ziqi grabbed Zhang Boxin asking, "Does your General Fang typically feed people fruit like this?"
"No, he only feeds Prince Yan like this." Zhang Boxin replied straightforwardly.
"Don’t you find anything strange?" Han Ziqi looked at Zhang Boxin with surprise.
Zhang Boxin found Han Ziqi baffling, thinking he must be mad, "What’s strange about it, the prince is injured, feeding him so fruit, what’s astonishing about it?"
"Good heavens..." Han Ziqi asked, "Little General, are you betrothed?"
"No, and don’t call Little General!" Zhang Boxin corrected angrily, "I’m a Grade Three Great General!"
"General Zhang, do you have a girl you fancy?"
"No!"
"No wonder..." Han Ziqi looked at Zhang Boxin with a tender expression, "How old are you this year?"
Poor thing, so old already, still without a girl he fancies or a betrothal; Beining n get betrothed so late, none of these generals are engaged, it’s truly strange.
Even soone as thick-skinned as Zhang Boxin felt insulted, angrily turning away, Han Ziqi clicked his tongue in exasperation, but he was no Zhang Boxin or Lin Xiao among adolescents. He was always flirtatious and tangled with many won’s hearts, making them fall hopelessly, regardless of whether they were dignified young ladies or lively innocent girls, he had all sorts of thods. Therefore,, he understood imdiately what Fang Chuning’s gaze and actions ant.
But since the object was Xie Jue, he felt it was peculiar. So he pondered that maybe he was being overly judgntal, perhaps he was overthinking it. Now the more he looked, the more it seed like sothing was there; he wasn’t overthinking!!
This was exactly how he flirted with girls!
Fang Chuning was so blatantly feeding him wild fruit, and Xie Jue couldn’t even stop him, he indeed ate one or two before realizing he needed to avoid scandal. During this period of injury, after being taken care of by Fang Chuning, his attitude was too natural. After noticing Han Ziqi’s gaze, Xie Jue said, "Han Ziqi keeps staring at us along the way, don’t be so blatant."
"How am I being blatant? If he likes to stare, let him, as long as we have a clear conscience."
"You have a clear conscience?"
"Of course!" Fang Chuning spread his hands, stuffing another fruit in his mouth. The fruit was sweet and tasty, without a hard shell, which Xie Jue liked very much.
Xie Jue felt a bit angry, more so helpless.
Fang Chuning said, "He is just an Heir of Sannan, why care about him?"
"I don’t want our gossip spreading to Sannan."
"What gossip?" Fang Chuning raised his eyebrows, sarcastically mocking Xie Jue, "Wasn’t the prince intending to never have anything to do with again, what gossip could there be between us?"
Xie Jue, "..."
He was speechless by the retort, not knowing how to respond. Fang Chuning, seeing the situation, retracted just in ti, pretending to be good once he’d pressed to the limit, a tactic that never failed, making it hard for Xie Jue to lose his temper.
