38 World 2.15

"It wasn't me!! I'm the one who's ordering to send him flowers but I didn't know the scented poison, this is unforgivable! Somebody's tainting my name!!"

Xiao Zhen yelled with his broken heart, he defended himself that he just wanted to give Wei Shin flowers to show his gratitude and apology. He told Prince Yuzuo that he didn't know what they're talking about. He told them that he has this personal servant who's the one buying and delivering the flowers to Wei Shin.

"State the information" Zi Yuzuo ordered

Qi Feng replied and bowed his head then one of his subordinates handed him a scroll. He rolled it open and read what was said in it.

"According to my research, Prince Xiao Zhen's servant was found dead near the river after the Palace discovered the poison. It is stated that his cause of death was also the scented poison itself, because of it the palace are now lacking some other evidences"

Xiao Zhen was stunned that his knees trembled and made him slide down, his servants quickly supported him. He was shocked by what happened, he was almost speechless.

"W-Who m-made t-this?" He mumbled as he gritted his teeth. The pleading expression on his eyes turned to hatred "I will never let this slide! I make sure to pay anyone who dares to taint my name!" He yelled in anger

Zi Yuzuo stood up with a cunning smile and moved towards Xiao Zhen. He cupped the male's cheeks and rubbed his lips. "My Prince Xiao Zhen, I will show no mercy to anyone who dares to taint your name" he grinned and locked his cold eyes which made the other prince petrified "I want to hang their head on the front gate...What do you think?" He stretches a smirk before letting go

Xiao Zhen quickly stood up and bowed his head "I w-will go n-now, y-your highness" he stuttered. His glaring eyes a while ago vanished right away as he exited the door with his shaking knees.

Qi Feng saw this and sighed "Your highness, you're scaring the second Prince so much" he commented 

Zi Yuzuo ignored him and went straight to the window. He parted the curtains and watched the wide field of his kingdom covered with green grasses and shady trees under the warm sunlight. A mischievous grin conquered his expression when he glanced at Qi Feng "His gestures of sending flowers secretly to Wei Shin without my consent are still unforgivable" he replied

Qi Feng almost brushed his own face "Your Highness, you are too obvious" he commented in dismay tone

Zi Yuzuo quickly glared at him "I don't know what you're talking about!" He replied

Qi Feng sighed "At least hide it a little more" he mumbled

"Do you have any death wishes, Qi Feng?" Zi Yuzuo asked, piercing the male beside with his emphasizing his words

The other male felt the chills from that so he unconsciously took two steps back "I-I apologize, y-your majesty" he smiled nervously

"Heh?" The Prince smirked "Why don't you try to assist Wei Shin for a while? It's much better than slacking your job and blabbing something nonsense"

***

"Is that so…"

Wei Shin shrugged his shoulders down with Qi Feng. They're in the royal garden and it's so obvious that they're gossiping about the Prince while secretly laughing.

[I can taint Qi Feng all the time]

DICCU: You will get your head cut from what you're doing

Wei Shin turned serious and leaned his head on the bench, looking above the shady leaves while the birds above were chirping their joy out. The wind passes through them, letting the fragrance from the flowers fluttering its petals invade their nostrils.

"I wonder what's the big deal…" he uttered, not even making a move

Qi Feng looked at him "Wonder what?" he asked, tilting his head with a puzzled face

The other male half smiled "I wonder what will they gain by killing me, I don't have anything though...those murderous people are insane" he said as he lowered his head back

From what Qi Feng saw, the male was thinking very deep that he was almost drawn onto his side profile. Wei Shin may be this jolly and easily go lucky all the time, but Qi Feng can sense something behind those little gestures. 

He was still confused about these lingering feelings crawling inside him when he's with Wei Shin and it's giving him the urge of wanting to know more about the male. 

The leaves above them once again sway with the calm air, he watched how Wei Shin's hair danced gracefully with it while his long lashes were blinking gently. Qi Feng gulped, his sight went down to Wei Shin's small perfect nose down to his plum cherry lips. 

Wei Shin was beautiful and Qi Feng found it enchanting like when he's covering his lips when he was laughing real hard, his cheeks would turn red from so much excitement and his ears would completely descend when he was feeling upset. 

A piece of leaf accidentally landed on Wei Shin's head, the male was very unaware about it. Qi Feng gently moved towards his side, very close. His heart started to beat rapidly like it was going to burst, deafening him from their noisy surroundings. 

"Wei Shin?"

Wei Shin jolted when he heard his name, he turned to his side and was stunned. Qi Feng suddenly switched closer to him, it made him jolt and blushed. The spaces between them are getting tight and he can feel the male's breath, he couldn't speak. 

Completely frozen, Wei Shin closed his eyes so hard. If the male was going to kiss him and the Prince found out, they're both dead. Just when he was about to gather his strength to push Qi Feng….

"You have a leaf stuck on your hair" 

Wei Shin flinched and leaned back while rubbing his hair rapidly "I-I-I d-d-didn't n-n-notice!!!" he stuttered between panic and embarrassment. 

Qi Feng froze the moment he saw the male's reaction with his tomato face.He scoffed "..pffttt!!!" he curled his back and giggled which made Wei Shin more cherry red.

"H-Hey! Don't l-laugh at me!!!"

The other male paused and wiped the tears beside his eyes "Wei Shin, you're so funny" he scoffed again, trying to suppress the enjoyment he's imagining "I was just trying to get the poor leaf from your hair, What were you thinking?" he commented still with his cunning smile

Wei Shin turned his head sideways as he made a humped sound, pursing his lips out "You are so bad!" he snorted

[Is he mocking me or something?!]

DICCU: You're pissed because you're expecting a kiss, aren't you?

[Humph! I-I'm not! ]

DICCU: Then why are you blushing?!!

[ ~_~ ]

"Why don't you show this side to the Prince?"

Wei Shin stopped sulking and glanced at Qi Feng "Side what?" he asked, giving a very puzzled and confused expression 

Qi Feng leaned closer and tucked the male's little hair to his ears. "Show him the real you, Shin" he mumbled. It made Wei Shin's heart pound without a reason but he was taken aback when Qi Feng pinched his cheeks.

He lightly slapped the male's hand "Ow! That hurst!" he snorted

Wei Shin paused then he rubbed his red cheeks, his face turned plain and serious. Thinking what Qi Feng said, he stared into the wide garden walls with colorful flowers. 

He was always this stiff and scaredy cat when he was facing Zi Yuzuo and of course because it was the character he was portraying and the side he was showing to Qi Feng wasn't Wei Shin, it was Jinli Yu. 

"Should I do it?" he mumbled
