Transmigrated Into The Book

"So what is your plan?" Xianyu asked as he twitched his brows and crossed his arms. Qi Zhou and Sun Wei were with him outside the Inn while they left Yuan inside.

Qi Zhou gazed at the big magnolia tree beside them as its leaves slowly fluttered with the wind, making the little petals fall slowly. He opened his palm and caught one. "He must be from the royal family," he commented.

"R-Royal family?" Xianyu gazed at him, completely shocked. "What do you mean?" he asked.

Sun Wei, who was also standing beside Qi Zhou, clicked his tongue in disappointment. "Are you really that dumb?". He rolled his eyes and glared at the male. "You slept with him last night without even knowing his true identity?!" 

Xianyu slightly pushed Sun Wei, who was now closer to him, "Excuse me! I am not a nosy person." he averted his gaze. "Besides.." he paused as he recalled how Yuan would tease him non-stop.

"Besides what?!" Sun Wei saw how Xianyu blushed. "Are you interested in him?!" He didn't wait for a reply.

Xianyu flinched. "What?! What are you interested in talking about?!!" he exclaimed, but the redness was completely crawling into his cheeks. "I don't like him!" 

"I didn't say that you like him!"

Qi Zhou stepped between them and pushed them from each other. "Stop talking sh*t things in front of me," he said, massaging his forehead. 

Sun Wei snorted, then he rolled his eyes again," We didn't mean to leave you, but since you jumped into the idea, you deserve it," he said, which made the other male more irritated. "What? I don't deserve to be abandoned by you two!" Xianyu snorted back. 

"Xianyu, you need to calm down," Qi Zhou tapped his shoulders. "We already knew that you would not like this idea, but you are the only one that fits the case," he said. He made a warm smile, which Xianyu saw for the first time. 

Xianyu stepped away from him. "That's gross!" he commented. 

Qi Zhou explained that the red pill from the old woman wasn't just an ordinary pill. According to the lady, that pill had a small crown design, which means that a royal made it. And since this Village is the land of the royal, they suspect that the true maker of that pill was a royal. 

"Besides, the crown Prince was missing," Sun Wei added, cupping his own chin as he was mulling over.

"Ehh?!!" Xianyu widened his eyes, "T-The P-Prince is missing?!" he exclaimed. 

Qi Zhou nodded his head. "The prince was missing in the Palace and no one knew where he went or what happened to him." he gazed at Xianyu. "Do you know what's more suspicious here?"

Xianyu beamed his eyes. "Tell me! Tell me!" 

"The day he disappeared, that was also the day the lady was given the red pill," he said. 

Xianyu blinked his eyes for a minute, then he rubbed it two times. "So you 're saying that Yuan must be the crown Prince?!" he exclaimed.

Sun Wei gave Xianyu a smack on the head, "You are not listening, idiot!" he snorted. He crossed his arms for the third time. "It's impossible!" he commented.

Qi Zhou agreed with him, "It was indeed impossible,because according to the urban legend, the crown prince wasn't a human," he said.

According to the urban stories, no one saw the true face of the royal prince from outside the palace. There are also rumors that your head will be cut even if you just accidentally glanced at the Prince. 

Xianyu felt the shivers down to his spine, "That's scary!" he commented. 

The three headed inside again and there they saw Yuan sitting on the windowpane. He was smiling, which was making more handsome under the rays of the noon sun. Sun Wei and Qi Zhou went to the cafeteria to order some food, so Xianyu headed upstairs first.

Xianyu knocked on the door. "Y-Yuan?" he called out.

Yuan, who was gazing into somewhere,slowly spun his head toward the entrance. He nods and smiles at Xianyu. "Oh! You're here already!" He brushed off the dust on his long black robe, then he stepped forward, meeting the other male at the door. "Am I proven innocent now?" he asked.

Xianyu lowered his head, "He's too close again!" he exclaimed inside his thoughts after realizing the inches between their faces. "D-Don't worry, my friends are kind." he replied.

A light chuckle escaped Yuan's lips. "It's okay," he mumbled. "I trust you more," 

That last word made Xianyu flutter like the butterflies inside his stomach opened up their wings. His heart pondered like a racing car, which made him nervous. It made him speechless for a couple of minutes. 

Yuan saw his reaction, again he found it cute. Blushing Xianyu in front of him was very amusing and adorable. He trudged inside, but the moment he took a step; he felt something from his sleeves. When he turned around, he saw Xianyu gripping the hem of his sleeves. "W-Why?" he mumbled. 

Xianyu bit his lower lip, then he gasped. "Why?!" he exclaimed, looking straight at Yuan. "Why do you trust me that much? You don't even know me!" he blurted out. 

It's true that they didn't know each other that deeply. He'd never ask Yuan questions because he finds it being nosy. But the feeling he was experiencing when the male was beside him was unexplainable. He just found it weird. His heart would ponder loudly when Yuan was closer to him, that's why he couldn't stand his teasing. 

Yuan widened his eyes. He was stunned. "Eh?" That's the only word he uttered at the moment. 

"Yuan!" Xianyu called out, not even averting his gaze from the male. "Have we met from the past?!" 

The words echoed in Yuan's ears. He clenched his fist when he felt his chest tightened immediately. Is it right to tell him? Does he have to fill in the empty spaces? 

"X-Xianyu, I…."

Before he could open up his lips again, two figures entered the door. One with crossed arms and one with a frown expression. "What are you two doing? The food was already served, so don't make us repeat ourselves and go down," Sun Wei snorted.
