I'll Share With You

The moment Lin Pei Nan walked in, the atmosphere turned icy cold. He was handsome. His crescent eyes and thick brows paired with a prominent noise and sharp jawline. He was the living definition of a god.

Ju Ming gave Prince Nan a smile, not an elegant smile but a smile as if she was hiding something. Chu'mei waited for Prince Nan to walk past her. As soon as his back was facing her, she started to make small gestures towards Ju Ming. Ju Ming's eyes naturally looked her direction. Chu'mei was wiping her face with her sleeve. Ju Ming gave her a dumbfounded look. Prince Nan turned his head slightly Chu'mei's way. She immediately set her hands down and pretended like nothing happened. "Chu'mei, wait outside," She looked at her lady helplessly. Ju Ming on the other hand was literally screaming, "Stay" with her pleading eyes. Chu'mei didn't know what to do. Her lady was scary but compared to Prince Nan, she didn't want to piss him off.

"Wait. On second thought, stay," his voice…it was too calm. Chu'mei sensed it. He was furious. "Consort Pan, I heard you fell into the pond and is on the brink of death? How can you still have the strength to eat?" She wasn't a mind reader but she could definitely sense that he was being hostile towards her. And sarcastic. [Damn it Chu'mei, you didn't fill me in on anything] she secretly cursed Chu'mei. She had just woken up to an entirely new environment and now...she was being interrogated by him? If she knew what the situation was, she felt she could have played along but...nothing! She knew nothing! This was all up to her luck.

"Pei Nan'gege (endearment term of calling someone brother or a close relationship)." Ju Ming wanted to slap her mouth. She just called Prince Nan "Pei Nan'gege". She looked to the ground and squeezed the two drumsticks hidden under the table aggressively. "Consort Pan, what did you just call me? Nan'gege?" as he spoke those words, the irritation was visible on his face.

[Shit…Ju Ming…you're dead now!] She scolded herself before looking up. *Hehehe* "Your highness, I was just kidding with you, don't take it to heart. I wasn't myself just now." she gave an awkward chuckle. Seeing that his face was still as stern as when he first walked in, she wanted to yell at him. No wonder the original Pan Yu Mei died; she probably killed herself to get away from this man. He was simply too scary. But it wasn't something Ju Ming couldn't handle. She had dealed with people like him in the past. "Aiya! I am so weak and fragile, how can your highness accuse me of eating? What have I done to deserve this," Ju Ming played the part of the victim as she began to make sobbing noises. When people play weak, they usually put their hand on their forehead or exaggerate. Too bad she couldn't. Her hands were currently very busy…gripping tightly on those drumsticks. There was no way she would let go of them.

Ju Ming stared back at him. While the two of them were having a heated eye exchange, Chu'mei took this chance to take a few steps to the right, trying to find out where the meat went. She almost fainted at the sight; her lady had the plate of chicken on her lap, tucked under her outer robe. She was still holding tightly onto the chicken legs. Chu'mei was done with her lady.

Ju Ming waited for the lines, "If Consort Pan isn't feeling well, have a good rest." Instead she got, "Hand it over," he was not playing with her. Ju Ming rolled her eyes at him. "I don't have anything," she insisted.

"Chu'mei, did you give Consort Pan food?" without thinking, Chu'mei said no. Ju Ming was impressed. This little girl was loyal. "If I find out you are lying, I will punish you," Lin Pei Nan only needed to take one step forward before Ju Ming gave in. She pouted her lips and looked at the two pieces of meat in her hand sadly. [Even though I don't want to give you two up, I'm sorry] she mentally apologized to the two chicken legs in her hand before lifting both of them up slowly in front of Prince Nan. "Fine I'll share. You can have one. Are you happy?"

"PAN YU MEI!" he muttered loudly. She innocently blanked at him a few times. [What did I do? All I did was hide food from him? Don't tell me he wants it all?] Her hands unconsciously wrapped around the plate on her lap. "Next time you fake your death, make sure you don't have sauce on your face. For not admitting your fault, you are under house arrest for three days." Lin Pei Nan flung his sleeves and left hurriedly.

In the past, Pan Yu Mei always angered him but today…this was a different type of anger.
