World 3.8

"Damn! The bath was so refreshing!"

Wuwu exclaimed as he entered the room, he was smiling while wiping his hair. The man sitting on the bed clicked his tongue, it caused Wuwu to frown and glance at him "What is it this time?" He snorted

Ru Xian crossed his arms "You dare show your half body to me!"

Then Wuwu realized that he was not fully clothed, so he fixed his robe. It was red with black lines on the hems, he took the seat in front of the mirror.

Ru Xian was just watching him, Wuwu was busy combing his hair when he suddenly shrugged his shoulders, his brows frowning while his lips went downwards. "I give up!" He exclaimed

Wuwu leaned to the chair stamping his feet on the floor "Aargh! I don't know how to fix my hair!" He blurted out

Ru Xian finds it funny and cute at the same time, but his face remains straight and emotionless. Wuwu stared blankly at the mirror, waiting for a miracle to fix his hair.

After a few minutes of sulking, Wuwu suddenly felt a light touch caressing his hair, his head leaning on the chair looked up and saw Ru Xian's face.

"Ey! It's fine, I can do it al--" 

"Keep quiet!" Ru Xian ordered, he glare at the man through the mirror, "Sit straight" he ordered once more

Wuwu sit straight, letting his hair fixed by Ruru

Ru Xian couldn't help but glance at Wuwu in the mirror, Wuwu was busy fidgeting his fingers, not even knowing what Ru Xian was doing behind him.

It was the first time for the prince to touch someone else's hair, Wuwu's hair was long and silky, it was black with a little shade of light brown when exposed to the sunlight.

His fingers were carefully stroking the male's hair, he was so amazed because it felt so good to touch. He found it amusing to play, his mind went blank in a moment.

"Uhhh?? Ruru?" 

Ru Xian jolted up to his system, Wuwu looked at him with a puzzled face "Do you really know how to fix a hair?" He asked

Ru Xian felt displeased so he suddenly pulled a handful of hair from Wuwu's head "You dare say that to a prince!". Wuwu secretly smirked and then he looked at Ru Xian's reflection at the mirror. The prince was pouting his lips out with his eyebrows twitched. 

"Ruru...No...Prince Ruru, you are a prince, lowlife like me understands your lifestyle, no need to be ashamed" Wuwu said annoyingly

Ru Xian gritted his teeth as he delivered a cold glare at Wuwu, he lifted his hand and then without any other word, Wuwu's hair was fixed in a perfect bun. He is the crown prince, he was doing his hair for the past years, no physical touch ,remember?

Wuwu sprang from surprise "Wow! You really did it!" he exclaimed cheerfully, he was hovering in front of the mirror in so much awe, then his face quickly turned gloomy in a second "Okay, now I feel sorry" he sat back on the chair.

Ru Xian released a humped sound like he was very proud of himself "I told you, stop provoking my skills, you lowlife" he said sternly, then he took the new clothes on the bed "I'm going to take my bath" he sneered at Wuwu "Stay here if you don't want your head to be cut" he ordered that immediately bring fear to the other man.

He was going to open the door when Wuwu called his name "Ruru, thank you!" then a big smile was shown on his face.

Ru Xian clenched his fist to reduce the redness on his face, he bit his lower lip before looking down. Wuwu was doing it again, saying what runs to his mind without a filter. It was making his heart beat rapidly. Ru Xian sneered at Wuwu before slamming the door closed.

{What's his problem again?}

'LOVE METER RAISED TO 30%'

It was so good to take a bath at night, it clears your mind.

It was the thought inside Ru Xian's mind as he finished his night bath, he was feeling sleepy the moment he entered the room. His gaze went to bed the moment he realized that the room was empty, the man sitting in front of the mirror a while ago was missing. 

Wuwu was snoring soundly on the bed, with his hands spread widely on the whole area. Ru Xian rubbed his head, his mood became annoyed. It was his bed, not Wuwu's. 

He tried to shake the male's shoulders to let him know that it was not his bed alone. Wuwu woke up and blinked half of his eyes. He moved a little, but the moment he saw Ruru, he smiled very widely "Come here" he uttered, patting the empty space beside him.

Ru Xian clicked his tongue "You...Sleep on the settee" he ordered, the other male ignored him. Wuwu was not totally asleep, he was just teasing the prince. He sensed that Ruru was already feeling sleepy when he turned his back, he was going to the couch.

{Oh? Is he going to sleep on the couch?}

AUTHOR: You don't have a shame, it's not your bed

{It's his fault though, he was too soft to be a prince}

Ru Xian turned his back, he wanted to conquer his bed back, but the moment he saw how comfortable Wuwu was, he couldn't do it anymore. Wuwu was a homeless man, he felt pity for him staying and sleeping on the cold street every night. He never experienced such things, as the prince, the place and things on his eyes were always perfect. He decided to sleep on the couch only for tonight, and then tomorrow he will request to clean another room for Wuwu. 

But when he was going to make a step, a powerful force pulled him down on the bed. Wuwu embraced him from behind "Where are you going? A prince should sleep on the bed, not on the couch" he uttered, his breath traced Ru Xian's nape. 

Ru Xian jolted when Wuwu squeezed him more "Let go!" he ordered. The male behind him chuckle "Don't wanna" Wuwu protested

"I said let go!" Ru Xian repeated again, but Wuwu just seized him more "Don't wanna" he said once more

Ru Xian struggle from him, trying to yanked himself away "If you don't let me go, I will compensate you!" he said in his cold voice.

  Wuwu who was behind him smiled, then he buried his face on Ru Xian's neck "Compensate me for what? I should be the one compensating you...First of all, you lied to me about your status, second, you let your guards captured me and let me sleep in that cold cell...the crown prince is so mysterious" he uttered

Ru Xian moved a little, Wuwu's lips were almost touching his neck "You dare touch me like this'' he snorted but Wuwu just ignored him again.

"Hugging someone can make your sleep better" Wuwu said 

"I'm not asking for some skinship!" Ru Xian sneered and then he pinched Wuwu's wrist.

  "Ow! That hurts!" the male squealed 

"Such a short-tempered prince!" Wuwu pouted and then he let go, he turned around facing the other side of the bed.

Ru Xian felt a little bit of guilt. The truth is he was so embarrassed of their position, they're not a lovey-dovey couple to sleep together, beside, it was his first time sleeping next to someone. He has this excitement in his heart and awkwardness at the same time. He didn't want to bother the man by kicking him in the face while they're sleeping. He didn't even know how to behave his inner self when he's this close to Wuwu.

  Ru Xian glanced at Wuwu's back and then he whispered "You can sleep beside me tonight". 

Wuwu stayed silent, he pulled the blanket to cover up himself, he smiled secretly after giving a guilty vibe to the prince.

"Goodnight Ruru…"

***

Meanwhile, in another room at the palace, a man facing the moonlight smirked below his shadows "You don't have enough time, my prince" then he turned his back with his robe dandle along the cold breeze. 

A man in black robe, wearing a mask jumped in from the window, he kneeled down in front of the man "Master, the crown prince was safe" he reported

The man chuckles "Have they done it yet?" he asked

The man in black lowered his head "Not yet, they're just sleeping embracing each other's body" he replied

The man enveloped his arms inside his robe "Very well, continue the mission"

The man in black bowed his head and then he vanished as he jumped out from the window.

The other man who was left in the room sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea "My prince, you need a sacrifice to lift up the curse" he uttered
