Chapter 181

181 THE SONG AND THE FISH

Bai Chen had lowered his pride when he finally decided to play along with the sulky man, but the man was just an ungrateful brat who would always ask for a mile every time he gave an inch.

Polishing a deadpan expression on his face, Bai Chen finally jumped off Zhu Ge’s back before he walked away from the man. Now, it was his turn to sulk because of the ungrateful Zhu Ge, and he could see how the taller man was trying to chase after him while laughing amusedly.

“Now it’s your turn to sulk, ah? Do you think I’ll grant your wish just because you sulk, Prince Bai Chen?”

“...”

Bai Chen was already too irritated, and he told himself that he didn’t need to hear anything from the man wearing the red hanfu. He also knew that he wouldn’t need to open his lips to reply to the man, and that was why he kept his lips in a thin line.

“Aiyah! You’re really cranky, ah? You really don’t want to talk to me?”

“...”

Bai Chen continued to ignore Zhu Ge’s words as if the man’s voice was brought away from him by the wind, and without realizing it, the two of them almost arrived at the palace where the second Prince of Dong Lang was living.

Bai Chen’s mind was tired from what happened at today’s court meeting, and his stomach was also starting to voice its protest, so he planned to find his old servant and order the man to prepare his lunch as soon as he arrived at his palace.

.....

Unfortunately, before he could reach the front gate of his palace, someone grabbed his arm, and before he could react, his lips were already locked by another pair of lips.

The pair of blue eyes immediately bulged as soon as their owner could feel something warm with a soft texture pressing against his lips. His eyes were wide open, and that was why he could immediately see that it was Zhu Ge who was kissing his lips right in front of his palace.

The kiss was soft and gentle, but Bai Chen knew that it was too risky to do something like that out in the open, and that was why he quickly pushed the man’s shoulders before using the back of his hand to wipe his wet lips.

“Are you crazy?!” The Prince snapped while glancing around him.

Fortunately, there was no one in front of his palace, and no one seemed to have witnessed how brave Zhu Ge was when they were still out in the open.

“Do you think I’m crazy just because I dared to kiss you in the open?” Zhu Ge asked back instead of answering Bai Chen’s question, and his voice even sounded confident even after hearing how the shorter man snapped at him.

This time, Bai Chen didn’t immediately refute, but he finally stopped wiping his lips with the back of his hand. However, it didn’t mean he would stop glaring at the taller man after the man dared to do something so impudent right in front of his palace.

“You still remember that you already have a bad reputation in public, right?” Zhu Ge asked again when he got no answer from the other man. “Both the people in Dong Lang and Wu Li already know what kind of person you are, and they all know about you because of the famous song circulating in the two kingdoms. You are aware of that, aren’t you?”

Once again, Bai Chen didn’t give the man an answer after the man continued to question him. It seemed that Zhu Ge was not offended by his earlier scolding, and instead, the man was simply reminding Bai Chen of the situation in Dong Lang and Wu Li.

True, Bai Chen had indeed almost forgotten that he was the famous gay Prince of the Dong Lang Empire. The song about how he even dared to have sex without closing the pavilion door was quite famous in both Dong Lang and Wu Li, and even Bai Renshu kindly sang the song for him in his poor voice a few weeks ago.

Bai Chen had indeed almost forgotten that fact, but now that he heard how Zhu Ge reminded him again, he didn’t even know how to answer the man’s question. Even the anger in his heart gradually subsided after hearing the man’s question, and he could only stare blankly at the taller man.

Seeing how the pair of blue eyes just stared at him blankly, Zhu Ge sighed before speaking again, “What I want to tell you about the fish is related to that song. You know about that song, don’t you?”

Bai Chen did know about the song, and it was thanks to Bai Renshu who was even willing to use his ‘beautiful’ voice to introduce the song to him. He just couldn’t understand the connection between the song and the fried fish swimming in the fish pond a few weeks ago.

Zhu Ge had just asked if he knew the song or not, but Bai Chen assumed that he didn’t need to answer the question. Instead, he felt that it was more important for him to ask for clarification from the man in red.

“The fish is related to the song? What do you mean?” Bai Chen was finally able to reply to the taller man, and his voice was filled with curiosity as he asked the man two questions in a row.

“If I told you that someone deliberately poisoned the fish back then, would you believe it?” Zhu Ge asked, and Bai Chen’s pair of blue eyes widened again upon hearing the question.

“What?” Bai Chen asked back instead of answering, and the surprised tone in his voice was too obvious. “Someone deliberately poisoned the fish? Was that the reason why you threw the fish into the pond back then? Are you sure about that? But, how could someone poison the food in my palace? And who would dare to do such a thing in my palace?”
