Chapter 1961: Out of Bed

In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone in from the curtains and landed on the wide and soft bed.

The handsome and noble man slowly opened his eyes. As he had just woken up, his usually cold and dark eyes were slightly dazed.

His fever had subsided, but he was still exhausted.

He moved his arm, only to find that it was terribly heavy, as if something was pressing against it.

The sleepiness in his mind disappeared immediately and his dark eyes looked sharply to his side.

Seeing a delicate figure lying in his arms, he froze.

The girl in his arms seemed to be sleeping soundly, her head leaning against his uninjured arm, one hand holding his waist and the other on his leg.

Ye Jie froze for a moment.

His blurry memories from last night flooded his mind.

When he was cold, he felt a heat coming toward him.

At that time, he was in a muddled state and did not know what it was.But now that he saw clearly, all of his blood froze.

Moving her hands and legs away from him, he was about to get off the bed quietly when something tightened around him.

She hugged him again and patted his back unhappily. “Don’t move around and rest well.”

She was still not awake and was in a daze. She was woken up by the noise and was angry, so her tone was fierce.

Ye Jie looked down at the girl in his arms.

She must have slept very late last night. There were faint shadows under her eyes and she looked a little tired.

He pursed his lips tightly and did not move. His clear and dark eyes looked at the ceiling.

His body stiffened as he felt her embrace.

Bo Cixue slept for a few minutes and suddenly thought of something. The sleepiness in her dissipated.

What had she just done?

She had shouted at the Crown Prince and even slapped him on the back!She was always grumpy in the morning and had a bad temper.

However, only those who knew her the best would know that she was always gentle and elegant outside.

But just now, she was like a tigress…

Bo Cixue closed her eyes tightly, feeling like ten thousand alpacas were running through her heart.

She had been too carefree in front of him over the past few days!

After sobering up, she naturally felt herself hugging him tightly, with one leg on him.

Even though she no longer had any feelings for him, this intimacy still made her feel awkward and ashamed.

She retracted her hands and feet, looking up at him with an ashen face.

He was looking at the ceiling and even when she looked over, he was not looking at her.

The moment she let go of him, he got up from the bed.

Without saying anything, he strode toward the bathroom.After a while, Bo Cixue heard the sound of water dripping.

He was a clean freak. It must be because she hugged him to sleep last night and was too close to him that he felt disgusted!

Bo Cixue lifted the blanket and got up from the bed. She picked up her clothes and put them on, a mocking smile on her lips.

Fortunately, she had already let go and would not care too much about his reaction.

Bo Cixue went downstairs.

After washing up in the bathroom downstairs, she went to the kitchen.

After making breakfast, she sat in the dining room to eat.

Footsteps sounded behind and Bo Cixue looked up at the man.

He had taken a bath and changed into a loose white knitted shirt and grey pants. His soft black hair was wet and covered his forehead. His face was still slightly pale from the fever and the faint stubble on his jaw was cleaned. Under the morning light outside, he looked like a university student who had just come out of school.

They locked eyes but remained calm.

His scarlet lips moved. “Thank you for last night.”His voice was slightly hoarse from the aftereffects of the cold, but there was an indescribable sexiness to it.

Bo Cixue took a sip of milk and smiled lazily. “It’s nothing. I will take care of any Tom, Dick, or Harry who is not feeling well…”

Realizing that she had compared him to anyone, her smile widened. “I don’t mean anything else, as long as you don’t misunderstand that I still have feelings for you.”

She admired herself for saying such things in front of him three years later.

If it was in the past, she would never have dared to think about it.

This was the advantage of letting go. She did not have to repeatedly consider his feelings and thoughts.

He hummed faintly and turned to enter the kitchen.

Bo Cixue only made one breakfast for herself. He went into the kitchen and made one for himself.

Before long, he brought out a bowl of noodles.

There was long and thin shredded meat on the noodles, two small dishes, and a fried golden and crispy poached egg.

Bo Cixue glanced at the breakfast on her plate.The fried eggs were half cooked and the toast was still cold.

She had no appetite.

Ye Jie brought the bowl of noodles to the dining table. Bo Cixue sniffed and smelled the tantalizing fragrance.

The Queen was a gourmet and was a good cook.

Brother Xiaojie had been influenced by her since he was young, but after entering the training camp, he had to be independent in everything. She heard that the food he made was delicious.

However, he was busy with work after becoming the Crown Prince and did not have time to cook.

Bo Cixue had never eaten what he had made!

Bo Cixue felt indignant that he had cooked such a scrumptious bowl of noodles for himself!

Even if he hated her getting close to him, she had still helped him last night!

Couldn’t he have made an extra bowl of noodles?

Bo Cixue saw that he was eating noodles with his head lowered and smelling the fragrance. She had no appetite for her breakfast.

Bo Cixue was slightly surprised to see a bowl of noodles that looked exactly like the one Ye Jie had eaten on the kitchen counter.

Was this for her?

Bo Cixue glanced at the dining room and the man was eating slowly without looking at the kitchen.

Bo Cixue resisted the urge to bring the noodles out to eat with him. After putting down the plate, she endured the temptation and went out of the kitchen, leaving the dining room without looking elsewhere.

She did not notice that after she left, the man, who had been focused on eating his noodles, looked up at her.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

…

Bo Cixue washed and dried her clothes. When she came out, Ye Jie was no longer downstairs.

Ah Zuo came over with a middle-aged woman. “Miss Bo, this aunt will make lunch for you later. His Highness said that if the situation in the city is good, he will send you back to the capital tomorrow morning.”

Bo Cixue heard Ah Zuo’s words and squeezed out a smile. “Then help me thank him.”

Seeing that Bo Cixue went upstairs after speaking, Ah Zuo touched his nose and left in confusion.

Did Miss Bo get angry because she didn’t rest well after taking care of His Highness last night?

Sigh. It seemed like Miss Bo really did not like His Highness. When she liked His Highness in the past, she was gentle and soft-spoken to him and Ah You!
