In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 293: Pearl Cakes Invitation

Just as his hand was about to touch Yue Mingxuan’s face, Yue Mingxuan suddenly snapped out of it.

"What are you trying to do?" he asked.

Shang Qinghua said nothing.

Instead, he pulled Yue Mingxuan into his arms and held him tightly without a word.

Yue Mingxuan either lacked the strength to push him away, or perhaps simply felt there was no need to do so, because he made no movement at all.

"I’m not as foolish as you think."

Shang Qinghua still did not reply.

He simply took Yue Mingxuan by the hand and led him out of the tomb.

It was clear to him that Yue Mingxuan was in urgent need of rest.

Therefore, no matter how pressing other matters might be, the most important thing at the moment was to make sure Yue Mingxuan got proper rest.

Yue Mingxuan had no idea how long he had slept.

He only felt that his head was heavy and foggy as though all the pressure he had been carrying during this period had finally been released in a single day.

Shang Qinghua who is lying beside Yue Mingxuan was also sleeping soundly.

His breathing was steady and calm as if he felt completely at ease.

Perhaps as long as he remained by Yue Mingxuan’s side, he would feel this kind of peace.

Even he did not know why.

He only knew that it did not feel like a bad thing.

Having someone who could calm his mind like this was not a bad thing at all.

At the very least, when he felt unhappy there would still be a place where he could take shelter.

Early the next morning, when they woke up the sky was only beginning to brighten.

A faint light of dawn broke across the horizon as though everything had suddenly become clear and open.

If everything in life could be like that, then things would be wonderful.

But reality was obviously not so simple.

As usual, Yue Mingxuan instructed Sui He that Shang Qinghua would be coming over for breakfast today.

After giving her the order, he stretched his body lazily and began dressing himself.

He could not help but feel grateful that people in this era had invented the habit of sleeping while wearing clothes.

Although if he really thought about it carefully, Shang Qinghua had already seen him without a single thread on his body before.

Even though Yue Mingxuan had been extremely unwilling, it was still an undeniable fact.

"Is Mingxuan here?"

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

The one who entered was Rong Qinglei.

Over the past few days, Rong Qinglei had not appeared very often.

However, ever since Yue Mingxuan had performed the heart surgery on him, Rong Qinglei’s condition truly seemed to have improved.

At the very least, the heart illness that used to plague him had not flared up even once.

He was also very satisfied with his current physical condition.

At the very least, he could now do things that he had never been able to accomplish before.

More importantly with such a healthy body he was no longer as helpless and pathetic as he had once been.

In the past, no matter what he wanted to do, he always had to consider the limitations of his health.

Now, however, his body had grown much stronger.

In his heart, he felt deeply grateful to Yue Mingxuan.

Although if he was honest with himself what he felt for Yue Mingxuan was even more than gratitude.

He would never forget that night beneath the moon, when he had first seen the figure who looked like an immortal descending from the heavens.

That image had engraved itself in his heart forever.

He truly liked Yue Mingxuan.

But he also feared that such feelings might be too abrupt, too forward and that Yue Mingxuan would be unable to accept them.

He did not want to appear rash or impulsive, so he decided that it would be better to begin as friends.

And step by step, he would try to win Yue Mingxuan’s goodwill.

He believed that Yue Mingxuan would gradually come to accept him.

It was simply a matter of time.

So during this period, he had been making an effort and doing his best to make Yue Mingxuan grow fond of him.

"Mingxuan, would you like to go try the pearl cakes from that shop in the city with such a good reputation?"

The moment Yue Mingxuan heard him mentioning about food his eyes nearly lit up.

Recently, everyone around him had been restricting how much he was allowed to eat, refusing to let him indulge too much.

Now that Rong Qinglei had invited him out for pearl cakes, how could he possibly refuse?

Without hesitation, he immediately nodded.

"Alright! I’ll get ready right now!"

Shang Qinghua who had been completely ignored by the two of them did not show any obvious dissatisfaction.

He merely said calmly, "Since the two of you are in such high spirits, I won’t disturb you." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Then hurry up and go!" The moment Yue Mingxuan heard that Shang Qinghua intended to leave, he looked rather pleased.

Sometimes he could not help but wonder about it.

No matter what, Shang Qinghua was still a prince.

Even if he was merely a hostage prince did he truly have nothing better to do every single day?

Yue Mingxuan simply did not believe it.

Yet Shang Qinghua came to see him every day regardless.

Yue Mingxuan’s martial skills were nowhere near high enough to deal with it, so aside from feeling that Shang Qinghua appeared and disappeared like a ghost, he had no other way to stop him.

And there was one thing he least wanted to admit.

Shang Qinghua’s embrace was undeniably warm.

That was something he could not deny.

Whenever he was held in Shang Qinghua’s arms, he always slept more soundly.

It was almost as though that embrace had been made for the sole purpose of holding him.
