The romantic and arrogant villain is forced to love him every day

Even though he agreed to Chi Zhou coming to see him, Jiang Du waited for less than half a month before taking the time.

Every time he hurriedly passed by Chizhou's residence, his eyes would stay there for a while.

The guard reported that Chi Zhou had gone out once in the past half month.

He was dragged out by the Southern proton.

Arriving in front of Chizhou's study again, Jiang Du knocked on the door three times and waited for the person inside to answer before entering.

Chi Zhou was dressed in blue clothes, which made his face look pretty.

Jiang Du's heart skipped a beat when he heard Chi Zhou's salute.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

His voice was a bit cold and distant, not coquettish at all, he was completely different from last time.

Are you blaming him for taking so long?

Jiang Du pursed his lips. "No gift."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince." Chi Zhou Shiran sat back in his chair.

Jiang Du walked up to him.

What is placed on the table is rice paper with most of the blanks filled.

Chi Zhou is writing.

His words are like the person he is, delicate and beautiful, only occasionally hiding a bit of edge in the hook.

Seeing that he had written a few words and had no intention of chatting with him, Jiang Du couldn't help but explain: "I've been busy with things these days, so I'm free today."

"Yeah." Chi Zhou responded lightly. "Your Highness is showing mercy to me by coming here."

"You don't even look at me, but you're angry?" Jiang Du walked behind the table, picked up the inkstone, and studied ink for Chi Zhou.

"I am terrified. I must not be angry with His Highness." Chi Zhou put down his pen and looked up at Jiang Du. "It's just that if His Highness doesn't come again, I'm afraid I will forget His Highness's face."

"I'm here." Jiang Du said firmly. "You can't forget it."

Chi Zhou smiled: "...Your Highness is really..."

Jiang Du was dazzled by the smile. He stopped studying the ink and whispered, "Where is me you said you wanted to draw?"

"Your Highness, you are so rude." Chi Zhou stood up, walked to the painting vat, and decisively pulled out a painting. "...I drew a picture for His Highness, but...the person painted in it is not His Highness."

Jiang Du was a little disappointed, so he chased after him, held one end of the scroll and asked, "Then what did you draw?"

Chi Zhou stuffed the painting into Jiang Du's arms. "Your Highness, you can see for yourself when you get back."

"Oh..." Jiang Du was confused, still missing himself in the painting. "Did you really throw away that painting before?"

"Throw it away." Chi Zhou said simply.

Jiang Du pursed his lips and said nothing, quietly becoming awkward.

Chi Zhou looked funny. "I have repainted His Highness."

Jiang Du's face immediately turned from cloudy to clear, and he asked with some excitement: "Then why don't you give it to me or show it to me?"

"I didn't know His Highness the Crown Prince was so narcissistic that he wanted to secretly collect his own portraits."

Jiang Du: "...I am not narcissistic."

He just likes Chi Zhou's paintings, and even more likes him to focus on himself when painting.

-- though he doesn't realize it yet.

"That painting was originally going to be given to His Highness." Chi Zhou said in an innocent tone. "But His Highness never comes...I suddenly remembered that the portrait of the person I love should be left to appreciate by myself. Otherwise, how can I survive the lonely days?"

"Heart, the one you love?" Jiang Du stuttered a little. "You and I are both men, how can you treat me as your beloved..."

"Your Highness doesn't know that it's okay for men to be with men?" Chi Zhou pretended to be surprised. "I thought that His Highness would have understood my thoughts last time."

Last time... Jiang Du just thought his behavior was strange and didn't think about it at all.

"You...it's wrong for you to do this." Jiang Du persuaded in a low voice. "Are there too few women in the palace? How about I take you outside the palace?"

Chi Zhou wanted to refuse, but then thought again and said hello with a smile.

*

After stuffing Chi Zhou's painting into his arms and telling the servant to take it back and put it away, Jiang Du took Chi Zhou out of the palace alone.

Chi Zhou was a little worried: "For the sake of His Highness's safety, it's better to bring some people with you."

Coming out of Chi Zhou's territory, Jiang Du looked more majestic.

"No, it's inconvenient to have too many people, and there are secret guards following me, so you don't have to worry."

Chi Zhou's eyes raised up: "Then my safety should also be entrusted to His Highness?"

Jiang Du didn't dare to look at him.

"……it is good."

The carriage they were riding in stopped in front of a restaurant, and Jiang Du jumped out of the carriage first.

Chi Zhou followed him, but hesitated to jump.

Jiang Du glanced at Chi Zhou's frail appearance and simply walked over, closed his legs, and took him out of the car.

Chi Zhou let out a soft cry and firmly grasped Jiang Du's shoulders.

Jiang Du was rough when he hugged her, but gentle when he put her down.

"I don't have a bench in my car, I will prepare one next time."

Chi Zhou smoothed the wrinkles in the clothes that were carried out by Jiang Du and spoke with a smile. "Is there a next time?"

Jiang Du paused: "...Yes."

Afraid that Chi Zhou would wait any longer, he added: "But I don't leave the palace often, so don't miss me too much."

"What I'm thinking about is not leaving the palace..."

"Ahem." Jiang Du understood quickly this time. "Maybe after returning to the palace today, you will only think about getting out of the palace, but not..." I said.

Chi Zhou was noncommittal. "maybe."

Jiang Du walked towards the restaurant. "Come here and introduce me to you."

Reaching the end of the second floor, Jiang Du pushed the door open and entered.

The people inside must have been waiting for a long time. As soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, they shouted impatiently: "Brother Jiang! You are here... huh? This is..."

Chi Zhou turned around, closed the door, and said to the yelling person in front of him: "Hello, I am Mr. Jiang's... good friend."

Jiang Du pulled out a stool for Chi Zhou and motioned for him to sit next to him. Then he said to Yuan Heng opposite, whose mouth was wide enough to hold two eggs, "His name is Chi Zhou, and he is the fourth prince of the Chen Kingdom."

Then he said to Chi Zhou, who had just sat down, "This is Yuan Heng, the eldest son of Yan Bohou Mansion."

Yuan Heng felt a little sour.

Jiang Du always only looks for himself when leaving the palace. Where did this fourth prince of the Chen Kingdom come from...?

It sounds nice, but it's just a proton. Why?

"Meet the Crown Prince." Chi Zhou lowered his head slightly.

Jiang Du: "After introducing the identity, there is no need for the prince to come to the prince, just call him by his name."

Jiang Du poured a glass of sake for Chi Zhou. Just as he was about to put it down, he raised his hand and poured a glass for Yuan Heng opposite him.

Yuan Heng: "..."

Usually Jiang Du would sit upright, waiting for him to pour him wine.

Jiang Du didn't bother to pay attention to Yuan Heng's slightly sad eyes, and turned his face to talk to Chi Zhou: "Eat something first, and I will take you to... the romantic place later."

"Pfft -" Yuan Heng spit out all the tea in his sip. He didn't even have time to wipe his soaked clothes, so he hurriedly muttered: "Go, go, go to the windy and windy places? Don't you never go there?"

Jiang Du went out of the palace most of the time to understand the sentiments of the people, and rarely to take him to drink or go hunting outside the city.

Regarding Fengyue, he didn't care at all.

"That's why I called you." Jiang Du glanced over in disgust. "Aren't you a well-known dandy in the capital? You should be familiar with that kind of place."
