CROWN PRINCE'S CONCUBINE - Chapter 686 - 686 Meet the Others

686 Meet the Others

The boy cheerfully left Bai Ying, who stands alone in the middle of the room. The youth looked around, Bai Ying touch his stomach, he could even smell the hot porridge which seemed to also have a bit of meat and vegetables, kind of.

His legs were tired, maybe they would let him sit there for a while because he was too tired to stand up.

“Heh”

He was starving but looks like his tiredness overcame his hunger so that all the sounds in the room seemed to be outside his ears, buzzing more and more. He hasn’t slept last night, maybe, he’ll sit down and sleep there for a while.

…

The sound of laughter is so loud as if it’s right outside his ears.

“Hahaha, Brother is so pretty, look at his face, it’s so smooth and white” the voice of a little kid.

“Yeah, is he a fairy? His hair is so beautiful, his clothes too” another child’s voice said. Followed by the sound of cheerful laughter and witty children who are now sitting around him.

Bai Ying opened his eyes wide, lot’s of kids surrounded him. He fell asleep in their bed.

…..

“You guys”

Bai Ying woke up and sat quickly. Surprised to see a lot of kids already surrounding him.

“Uh, you guys?”

The little ones were maybe six to the eldest ten years old. About a dozen boys and girls, maybe more. Their big round eyes looked at Bai Ying with cheerful faces. One of them the little boy who had brought him there pushed his way through the crowd and stood at the very front preventing the other kids from touching Bai Ying.

“You can’t touch pretty brother, look at your dirty hands, what if he gets dirty because of you”

The kids saw their little hands.

“It’s not, I already washed it”

Another child responded.

“Earlier you grab it again, you eat the bun and then licked your hand,” cried another child.

“No, I didn’t lick my hands, see, it’s still clean”

Bai Ying was amazed, surprised at the children who surrounded him turned into excitement, they were so innocent and cute kids.

“Hehehe, you guys can touch me”

He chuckled, but immediately the children turned back to him and approached him again and almost pushed the little boy who was standing like a hero in the middle.

“I want it”

“Me too”

The little boy who had invited him to come over was overwhelmed and finally pushed backward.

“What are you guys doing, you guys!”

They dropped Bai Ying’s body back onto the bed.

“Hehehe” the kid’s small finger instead make him ticklish.

All that sweet commotion made Bai Ying laugh so heartily, he hadn’t felt it in a long time. Until a rather loud voice stopped them.

“Hey you guys what are you doing? Don’t disturb our guests like that”

Bai Ying raised his head and saw someone already standing in front of them, someone he had been looking for for a long time.

“Guard Bei?” could hardly believe his eyes at that. But it was Bodyguard Bei Yau, the Crown Prince’s personal bodyguard, with a slightly dirty face and scars from his cheeks to his neck. His clothes were also very ordinary. He is indeed Guard Bei, but, what is he doing here? Why he looks so different?

Bei Yau saw him and bowed his head.

“Your Majesty”

Not very long after.

Bai Ying sat by the bonfire to warm up his body. Bei Yau came over to bring him a bowl of warm porridge.

“Your Highness, please,” said Bei Yau and sat beside Bai Ying.

Bai Ying took the bowl of porridge, even though it looked very ordinary, the porridge was so delicious for his already too-hungry stomach.

“Thank you guard Bei”

Bai Ying was very hungry, since last night he had not eaten anything. His head hurts from not getting enough sleep, it’s not a good day for him. But, looks like, this was more than a bad day for Bei Yau who sat with a tired look unlike any he had ever seen from him.

“According to His Highness the Crown Prince, Guard Bei was practicing at the field, I don’t think he’s lying, isn’t it??” Bai Ying asked innocently.

Bei Yau squeezed his hands. He was looking at Bai Ying with pitying eyes. As if the boy had missed a lot of things.

“Servant, have already left the palace, Your Majesty, and right now, might already be a fugitive for Yue Yang or even Wah Ye”

Bai Ying who was enjoying his meal almost choked, Bei Yau’s answer took him by surprise.

“What does that mean, left the palace? And fugitives? Guard Bei?”

Bei Yau nodded.

Bai Ying stuttered. His eyes widened.

“But, that’s impossible, right? I mean, His Highness the Crown Prince, trust you so much. All this time, you guys have been relying on each other, how come, uh, who made you leave His Highness the Crown Prince? Was it, because of my great-grandfather? Or.. uh”

“It’s because of me”

A voice from the other direction made Bai Ying stop his words. Someone entered gracefully from the doorway. With clothes that are quite clean and magnificent and long hair that sways when he steps. Bai Ying widened his eyes, that his brother, Prince Chen Ming.

“Brother? Brother Ming Ming!” without thinking Bai Ying got up from his seat and approached Chen Ming, opening his arms wide to hug him.

“Brother!”

Prince Chen Ming who appeared behind the door saw Bai Ying who suddenly came to hug him, his eyes widened as if he was surprised by the young prince’s attitude.

“Wow, Your Highness the Young Prince, no, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are here? That’s weird, what if that rotten Crown Prince came looking for you all the way here, don’t you think your presence will bring harm to everyone here? ”

Bai Ying stuttered. Even though he often heard his older brother call the Crown Prince the rotten Crown Prince before, for some reason it sounded very different now. He let go of his hug and saw his brother’s face which did look different from Brother Chen Ming he knew.

“Eh, Brother, then, what are you doing here? It’s also not close to the palace.” He looked at his older brother from head to toe, the clothes he was wearing were beautiful but not like the clothes he usually wore. Different colors and patterns, it’s not from the palace. As far as he knew his brother always has great taste in the clothes he choose to wear. Something looks odd.

Chen Ming held onto Bai Ying’s arm, looking at his face from a very close distance. The gaze is also very different. Bai Ying swallowed hard as he noticed the look in her brother’s eyes.

“B-brother” and he held his hand so tight.

“Young Prince, you look very attractive, perhaps, it’s not a bad day seeing you here.” picked him up and almost kissed him.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Bai Ying withdrew his hand quickly. Looking at Chen Ming with big round eyes. He pushed his brother away from him.

Chen Ming grinned. Looking at Bai Ying who looked somewhat afraid of him.

Chen Ming turned to Bei Yau and shook his head at him, asking him to get out and leaving him and Bai Ying alone there.

Bei Yau cleaned up his and Bai Ying’s bowls of porridge and excused himself from the room.

“Hey, little prince, you shouldn’t come out of that very beautiful palace, down to a world full of disease and filth like these people. It would be a shame if a rough person touched your delicate hand, I don’t know what that rotten Crown Prince would do, he could cut off everyone’s hands, gouge out everyone’s eyeballs, even burn everyone’s mouths because they dared to kiss you” he approached again Bai Ying to that young man had nowhere to escape.

Bai Ying swallows hard, he felt his Brother is kind of scary as if he is a stranger.

Chen Ming held Bai Ying’s jaw, pulled his hand towards his, and attempted to kiss him.

“Older brother!” Bai Ying tried to push him away, but Chen Ming’s strength was far greater than he’s, even so, he can’t let Chen Ming really kiss him, was he crazy?

“Brother! We are cousins, what do you think you are doing, eh”

Chen Ming held Bai Ying’s hand tightly, not giving the boy a chance to escape.

“So what? We are distant cousins, after all, I could have liked you if I wanted to. Do you think that rotten Crown Prince deserves you more than me?”

Chen Ming pushed Bai Ying down on the bed, like crazy, he even pulled Bai Ying’s clothes from his shoulders.

“Akh!” Bai Ying groan as Chen Ming’s strong hand gripped his hands tight.

Chen Ming grabs Bai Ying’s hand and locks him in the bed, his hand moves to touch the smooth skin behind the boy’s thick layered clothes. He almost kisses the boy’s neck.

“Brother, Brother, stop it! Don’t do this!”
