Ways to handle this little demon

" Ahh.....I'm so tired. I can't even wash myself up anymore.....gonna take a nap right away."

Lying on a small bed and muttering these lines to himself was He Jingyi. He and Ming Zixin had arrived to their little courtyard just a moment ago. It wouldn't be wrong to call this little place their temporary "little home" either though. 

These days, they had been living in a village called " Ying Hua" near emerald jade mountain. To avoid encountering Jianyu sect members, both of he and crown prince agreed to rent a courtyard in a desolate place of "Ying Hua" village. The owner was a small landlord who possessed many lands in this area. But compared to landlords in big cities, the number of lands in his hands was just nothing. Even so, around the villages here, that man was often respected and mentioned as an impressive landlord.

He Jingyi and Ming Zixin could be considered lucky to encounter this so-called landlord in the middle of a street. Otherwise even if they could find a place, it wouldn't be to their taste just like the one they're staying right now. The house was neat. It might be a bit small but exquisite and inviting enough. And the fact that such a little courtyard existed in a desolate part of the village, was even more to their liking.

The only problem for He Jingyi and Ming Zixin right now was that the owner of this courtyard and his family were also living at a nearby yard, so a particular crown prince and his princess had to make sure not to get suspected and be aware of their own manners in front of them.

Being a landlord yet living in such a desolate part of the village.....it might seem like that landlord had an abnormal taste. But that's not it. There's a good reason for it. And it was because of his wife who was suffering from social anxiety disorder.

Removing his red hair tie and letting his hair loose, He Jingyi snuggled his face into the pillow, preparing to sleep without even bothering to take off his outer robes. And that was when a certain crown prince came in with a small wooden basin in his hands. 

" Jingyi, don't sleep yet. Let this prince wash your foot first okay."

Moving his head a bit, He Jingyi took a peek outside as half of his face was still snuggling into the pillow. After their conflict of sleeping in the same room or not, this prince had become like this. By then, when he suggested Ming Zixin to stay and sleep in the same room as him, this prince did scold him, telling ladies should be aware of men and shouldn't casually make such a suggestion.

Just at that very first night of staying in this house, Ming Zixin wouldn't stop scolding him. The clever He Jingyi had to use his old way to reverse the situation. And it was to act pettish and angry back at the other. 

Only when the prince stopped his annoying scolding and coaxed him back, He Jingyi told him the real reason...the reason why he wanted to sleep in the same room with him.....

He Jingyi didn't know why. But that night when he told the prince that it was all because he wanted someone to serve and run errands for him at night, Ming Zixin voluntarily agreed to serve him. He Jingyi was really suspicious of the prince's motive at first. A proud and tyrannical crown prince like Ming Zixin willing to serve him.....No matter how one thought of it, this was really abnormal. 

He Jingyi was even wondering if Ming Zixin was acting this good to him because there's something he wanted from him. Did he wanted him to do something in return? Or did this prince have something to request from him? His head was full of these questions in earlier days of Ming Zixin serving him every night. But now, He Jingyi had no doubt about it anymore. The clever him finally found out the real reason. And it was because Ming Zixin was stupid!

He couldn't even understand how such an idiotic Ming Zixin could be a crown prince of human realm or how he could even handle all those complicated political issues without having a proper brain. How could someone with such a noblest status be this willing to serve him? Though, at first, he wanted to sleep with Ming Zixin in the same room because he wanted the prince to serve him, He Jingyi only thought of making the prince run errands for him unknowingly. Even when he had no other choice and told Ming Zixin this reason, He Jingyi had already expected a big fat "no". But this prince said "yes" just like an absolute idiot.

" I'm sleepy. Just go away.

Do you see the time? It's almost midnight. Don't disturb me...just go away already.."

Saying this, He Jingyi buried his face into the pillow once again. But Ming Zixin was unyielding. He continued to urge He Jingyi to get up and soak his feet in warm water first before sleeping. This crown prince didn't even forgot to use his mellow tone to persuade him, did he?

"Jingyi, come on...get up and let's wash up first. This prince will give you a relaxing foot massage. Didn't you say you like it last time?"

Hearing the word 'massage', He Jingyi's sleepiness wore off right away. These days, though Ming Zixin had been serving him every night.....ahem....Don't misunderstand the word "serve" though. It only meant Ming Zixin doing things like washing his Jingyi's beautiful feet or accompanying He Jingyi by chatting till the other fell asleep.

So, let's go back to the original topic. These days, though Ming Zixin had been serving him, He Jingyi could rarely got a foot massage like this because they had been busy with their own mission day in day out. It had only been a couple of days since Ming Zixin gave him a foot massage for the first time. And He Jingyi really enjoyed it.

Since it's not appropriate for him to take the initiative and tell an imperial crown prince to give him a massage, he had been waiting for the time for Ming Zixin to say it personally. But this prince didn't. He Jingyi was even thinking the previous massage Ming Zixin gave him might be both of his very first and last one. But it turned out that's not true. All he need to do was acting naughty a bit and this prince who liked to pamper him so much was already there to give him a massage.

" Since you really like to massage my foot a lot, there's no reason for me to refuse either, so....."

Saying this He Jingyi kicked the quilt before getting up in a hurry. Though his words seemed like he didn't want it that much, his actions had already sold him out. Seeing such a childish He Jingyi, a small smile curved on Ming Zixin lips as he got on his knees on the floor, placing the small wooden basin just by the bedside so that He Jingyi could readily soak his legs in there once he let his legs dangle from the bed.

Rolling the hem of his pants, He Jingyi exposed his milky feet and slim calves for the price to see. After rolling up the right one, he did the left calmly and leisurely. But for Ming Zixin who was watching this scene whilst kneeling on the floor, his mind had almost been blown away from all perverted thoughts that kept popping up.

Looking and gulping, there's only one thing Ming Zixin desperately wanted to do right now and it was....

to take a bite of his princess' milky legs....
