Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

"My Lord, the porridge is ready!" Ah Gui and the servants came in with hot porridge. Seeing Jiang Xin looking at him, he couldn't help but said happily, "My Lord, I'm glad you woke up. You've slept for two days and two nights. Get up and eat something."

"Yeah." With so many people coming at once, Jiang Xin naturally felt embarrassed to continue lying on his Highness's body. He struggled to get up, and then he saw the bruises and swellings on Agui and the others' faces. He was stunned for a moment before he said with concern:

"You guys, why, are you injured?"

If it was just Agui alone, Jiang Xin would suspect that it was because of him that Agui was punished by His Highness.

But now these people are all injured, so he is worried that something may have happened in the palace?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin immediately lost his composure and looked at Xie Ze anxiously: "Your Highness, are you injured?"

Everyone in the palace: "..."

"..." Xie Ze said expressionlessly, "I'm fine."

"Then they..."

"Ahem." Agui cleared his throat and said seriously, "Don't worry, sir. The kitchen floor is slippery. We just fell accidentally. It's not a big deal."

Jiang Xin: “…” Did the ground slip so much that everyone fell?

Everyone watched their noses and their hearts, and pretended tacitly not to notice Mr. Jiang's questioning.

"Don't worry about them, just drink the porridge." Xie Ze looked at Agui with disdain, then stood up and took the porridge to feed his lover, and quickly covered up his crime, "All of you go down, there's no need to stand here."

"...Yes." What else could the others do? Of course they left tactfully.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xie Ze didn't want Jiang Xin to focus on other things, so he fed him while changing the subject subtly.

"Yeah." Jiang Xin nodded.

He slept for two days before waking up. The cook in the mansion did not dare to add too much oil and water, so she did not make meat porridge. She just cut some vegetables and mushrooms and put them into the porridge, and only added a little salt.

In fact, the taste was very light, but the cook had a good control of the heat and the porridge was cooked just right. In addition, Jiang Xin was very hungry at the time, so the porridge tasted particularly delicious.

"Your Highness, eat too." Jiang Xin ate for a while before realizing that he had been fed by his own prince. He felt embarrassed and quickly pushed him away with his hand.

What he meant was that he could eat by himself and let Xie Ze eat with him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ze just followed his strength and used the spoon he had used to scoop up and finish the remaining porridge.

Jiang Xin: “…”

"What's wrong?" Xie Ze looked at Jiang Xin naturally, as if he was used to it.

"...No." Jiang Xin wanted to say that you were using my chopsticks, but he didn't know if it was because his highness' attitude was too natural. If he specifically brought it up, it would seem as if he disliked his highness.

That wasn't what he meant, but he felt that it was wrong. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Would you like to drink some more?" Xie Ze quickly finished the porridge and served another bowl. As if he was afraid that his study partner would be hungry, he turned around and asked Jiang Xin.

"No, thanks." Jiang Xin blushed and said embarrassedly.

Your Highness is not particular about trivial matters, but his intentions towards you are not pure. If I agree to it, it would be an overstepping of authority.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin lowered his head in shame and stammered, "I, I'm going to the toilet."

As he spoke, Jiang Xin sat up and was about to get off the bed, but the next second he felt his body lighten and he fell into Xie Ze's arms.

"Your wound hasn't healed completely yet. It will hurt if you walk. I'll carry you." Xie Ze said confidently.

"No, no need!" Jiang Xin's face turned red, and he struggled to get down, but Xie Ze held him tightly.

The next second, Xie Ze's face turned pale, and he swayed as if he couldn't stand steadily. He leaned against the bed and panted slightly, "Ah Xin, be good and don't move."

Jiang Xin heard that Xie Ze's voice was not right, and he looked up quickly. Only then did he realize how bad his highness's face looked, and he immediately panicked: "Your Highness!"

"It's just that I didn't sleep well these two days, don't be afraid, Xin." Xie Ze smiled at Jiang Xin comfortingly, and adjusted the person in his arms to a comfortable position. As he walked outside, he said gently: "I'll carry you to the toilet, and you can have a good rest when you come back, okay?"

Jiang Xin: “…” I always felt that if I didn’t say it well, His Highness would faint in the next second.

Sure enough, after Jiang Xin pursed his lips and nodded, Xie Ze's complexion immediately became much better, and his steps were no longer unsteady. He held the person steadily all the way, and he was completely different from the guy who was so unwell that he was about to faint.

Jiang Xin: “…” I don’t know why, but I always feel like I’m being fooled.

No matter how depressed he felt, Jiang Xin was eventually carried to the toilet by His Highness, and then carried back to the room. Amid his futile protests, his Highness simply washed his body.

After washing and changing into clean clothes, Jiang Xin looked like a ripe apple, even redder than when he had a high fever.

He felt that there was something wrong with His Highness's attitude towards him, but he was too embarrassed to ask, so he just kept his head down and said nothing.

Fortunately, Jiang Xin is still ill, and Xie Ze is not in the mood to think too much. He just wants to take good care of the person he loves most, and he will not feel at ease with anyone else taking care of him.

After struggling for a while, I finally tucked the person safely into the quilt.

Jiang Xin looked at the busy prince and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull the corner of his clothes, looking at him eagerly: "Your Highness, take a rest."

"Yeah." Xie Ze, who had regained his senses, became particularly easy to talk to. He skillfully crawled into Jiang Xin's bed and held his study partner in his arms, which was exactly the perfect fit.

Jiang Xin: “…”

"By holding you like this, I can feel your body temperature. If you catch a cold again, I can find out immediately." Before Jiang Xin could question him, Xie Ze gave the most perfect answer. Then he lowered his head slightly and buried it in Jiang Xin's neck, and said with a sigh and fear:

"Ah Xin, stop scaring me."

Jiang Xin's nose was sore, and he grasped Xie Ze's clothes helplessly. He wanted to apologize, but was interrupted by Xie Ze patting his back: "Okay, go to sleep, I'll stay here with you."

Jiang Xin raised his head slightly and looked at Xie Ze, and suddenly realized that His Highness was different from his former father.

His Highness never needed his apology. All he wanted was to be healthy.

After figuring this out, Jiang Xin swallowed the words he wanted to say, curved his eyebrows, and couldn't help but rubbed Xie Ze's chest, and whispered: "Your Highness, together..."

Xie Ze smiled: "..."

Although he had slept for two days and two nights, Jiang Xin did not feel energetic at all. Instead, he was extremely tired.

He still clearly remembered everything that happened in the dream, and could even recall the biting pain in the cold rain, which was so real as if he had really experienced it.

It was a long and desperate nightmare...

With this thought in mind, Jiang Xin fell into a deep sleep again.

But this time, maybe it was because His Highness was holding him and because His Highness said he would stay by his side, the world in the dream was not so painful after all.

He was not at the Jiang family, nor was he homeless, but just like in reality, he was in His Highness's palace.

He also dreamed of His Highness! Just like in reality, he was right beside him!

Jiang Xin was a little happy and was about to say something when he felt a piercing pain in his right leg.

"Well--!"

"Your legs hurt again?" Xie Ze seemed to have sensed his discomfort, and he frowned and said helplessly, "The doctor said that your illness is an old one, and it can only be relieved, not cured. I'll ask Ah Fu to prepare a medicinal bath. If you still feel uncomfortable, I'll ask Doctor Xu to come and give you acupuncture."

Jiang Xin shook his head, thinking that there was no need to go through so much trouble, but perhaps because he was in a dream, he found that he had become mute again and could not speak.

Jiang Xin frowned, and just as he was about to express his doubts, he found that he had skillfully laid on Xie Ze's thighs. He also hugged Xie Ze's waist and rubbed it coquettishly, using such practical actions to tell him that he was fine.

Jiang Xin: “…”

Just when he was frustrated and angry about his subconscious behavior, something even more confusing happened the next moment.

He saw that the prince who was hugged by him was not angry, but chuckled, then leaned over and kissed his lips in this position.

Jiang Xin: “!!”
