Ways to handle this little demon

The prince was extremely caring towards He Jingyi indeed. Even in preparing water for his princess, he did everything with utmost care. The temperature of water was just right, not too hot or cold. In warm water mixed with pure milk, there were some rose petals which had the same crimson, ruby red color just like his princess' alluring eyes.

First, Ming Zixin had to wash up his princess' legs properly. Only by then did he let her feet soak in warm water. But it would take a while before he could finally serve his princess with a foot massage. His princess should stay like this for a couple of minutes, so that this milk bath would do the trick and leave his beloved's beautiful feet supple and hydrated.

"Your Highness..."

Calling out to Ming Zixin at the corner of the room, who was cleaning his hands repeatedly to give him a proper foot massage, He Jingyi asked with curiosity.

"How do Your Highness know how to give a foot massage? No matter how I think about it, it really doesn't feel right that such an imperial crown prince like Your Highness know how to do this. Is this some kind of strange hobby?"

Ming Zixin paused washing his hands when he heard this daring question of his princess. It was extremely obvious that the reason he secretly learnt to do such a massage, only petty servants did, was all because of this princess. But if it were not for his imperial uncle, Ming Zixin would have never thought of or even found out such an excellent way.....a way of how to earn points from his princess and how to take advantage of her simultaneously.

His imperial uncle was a henpecked yet also an infatuated husband for his wife. For several years, Ming Zixin had been giving this princess hints of his love for her but He Jingyi just didn't realize it at all. He was out of ways, so a desperate Ming Zixin went to his imperial uncle and ask for some practical advice for heart matters. His uncle was an expert in this field though. The enthusiastic uncle told Ming Zixin many ways to capture the heart of his nephew's anonymous crush. And this foot massage was one of the most recommended ways of his uncle.

Ming Zixin's esteemed master who taught him how to do such a professional foot massage was also none other than this uncle of his. Now that he though about it, it was really a right decision that he learnt how to do it. If it were not for that, he wouldn't have the chance to take advantage of his princess like this.

Drying his hand with a towel, Ming Zixin turned to look at his princess who was watching in his direction with a curious look as she soaked her feet in warm water leisurely. Giving a flirtatious look to the other, Ming Zixin chose to give his princess the most honest answer.

"What if this prince say I learnt all this just for you?"

He Jingyi went blank for a moment. But then, as Ming Zixin had expected, his princess only reacted with a laghter. Ming Zixin just didn't know how to get out of this friend zone anymore. Was it just that his ways of showing feelings were just so stupid? Or was it just this princess who could never see him as a real man?

It should be enough by now. It's the time for his princess to get his special service. Picking up a folded pearl white silk towel from a small table, Ming Zixin walked over to his princess to dry his beloved's legs. 

"May I have the honor to touch my princess' beautiful legs?"

Feeling a heart ache due to the prince's overly sweet words, He Jingyi gave Ming Zixin, who was kneeling on the floor right in front of him, a gentle kick in his chest. With a sulky pout, He Jingyi gave a naughty crown prince a glare which seemed to be saying," If Your Highness dare to sweet talk like this again, I'm gonna get nauseous for real....."

Not long after gently patting his princess' legs with the silk towel, Ming Zixin used essential oils to start giving her a relaxing foot massage. With warmup twist, Ming Zixin started his foot massage so that it could help his Jingyi's foot warm up in preparation for further massage.

The usually talkative He Jingyi was abnormally quiet right now because he didn't want to distract Ming Zixin. Even when giving him such a massage, this prince seemed so serious. Glancing down at the prince who was kneeling on the floor and giving him a special service, some sorts of complicated feelings rose from the pit of his stomach.

Ming Zixin was really a good buddy. He Jingyi just couldn't understand why this prince was so good to him and spoil him like this after all what happened in the past. Was it because he saved Ming Zixin at that time when he was about to die? But there's nothing to be grateful about it anyway. It was all because he just wanna use Ming Zixin as a tool. And it's not like this prince didn't know about it either. By then, it was this prince himself who indirectly told him to use him and his status to his advantage but to save him in return.

" You let a crown prince like me die just like this but stole my magical sword? I didn't know that you can be this stupid...

A crown prince and his sword which is nothing but just one of hundreds of legendary swords in his collection.....which one is more useful to you...you can't even differentiate it, right? As expected, even if you're a powerful little demon, a teen's brain is just a teen's brain in the end. You have no real intelligence like adults anyway."

He Jingyi could still vividly remember how little Ming Zixin said those offensive words to him indifferently when he himself was already dying in a bloody pool. If it were not for those words, if Ming Zixin didn't provoke him like this...he would have never saved this crown prince. A prince named "Ming Zixin" wouldn't be in this world anymore. An amazing friend and a bro who took care and spoiled him like crazy day in day out wouldn't be there anymore.

He Jingyi was glad that he did save this prince by then. It was really fortunate that Ming Zixin taunted him like that by then. Otherwise, right now, it was really impossible for him to have such an amazing person in his life. There's no way he would be able to get such a caring and important person in his life anymore....
