Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

Xiao Jingxuan slowly woke up from his endless sleep, and felt every muscle in his body aching.

Especially the hideous knife wound on the right side of his chest. Even a slight breath would cause a piercing pain, making him almost faint again.

He endured the pain and slowly opened his heavy eyes with difficulty, but what he saw was a completely unfamiliar scene.

He frowned, pressed his head tightly with one hand, and tried hard to recall everything that had happened on the battlefield.

However, it felt as if millions of ants were gnawing at his head, causing excruciating pain. Those originally clear scenes of fighting and killing now became blurred as if covered by a layer of fog.

He only vaguely remembered that their team seemed to have been ambushed by the enemy and was surrounded by heavy enemies, with shouts of killing deafening all around.

He led his men to fight desperately to break out, but the enemy kept pouring in like a tide.

In the chaotic battle, he gradually lost strength and was eventually stabbed and fell from the steep cliff...

Where exactly is this place?

He supported his weak body and slowly looked around.

This is a simple, clean and tidy room with very few furniture inside. There is only an antique mahogany round table and a few matching chairs standing there quietly.

A strong desire to survive surged in his heart, and he wanted to get up from the bed and explore. However, as soon as he moved his body, he felt an unbearable pain in the wound, which instantly froze his movements.

He took a deep breath helplessly, trying to calm his disordered breathing. After resting quietly for a while, he mustered up the courage to try again.

Just as he struggled to sit up straight, the familiar pain came again like a storm.

Just then, a sound of light footsteps was heard outside, coming closer and closer.

He slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the door, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, a look of strong vigilance on his handsome face.

I saw a young and beautiful woman gently push open the door and walk in gracefully.

She has delicate features, pretty face and skin as white as snow, just like a beautiful flower blooming in spring.

Under the curved eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes sparkled with lively light. Under the high nose bridge, a cherry mouth was slightly raised with a charming smile.

"Hey, you finally woke up! Did you know that you have been sleeping for three whole days?"

The woman's voice was clear and pleasant, just like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

However, Xiao Jingxuan just glanced at her coldly and quickly looked away. His face was as cold as a piece of ice and he did not respond at all.

"Don't look at me like that. It took me a lot of effort to pull you back from the brink of death!"

The woman smiled, with a hint of tenderness and concern in her smile, but Xiao Jingxuan remained expressionless, as if he had not heard her words at all.

"Don't worry! I will never harm you! I am your savior!" The woman continued with a smile, a sincere light flashing in her eyes.

But Xiao Jingxuan just snorted coldly, turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

Seeing that he remained silent, the woman took a few steps forward and moved closer to him.

She slowly reached out her hand, gently pinched his chin, and looked at his face carefully. "It would be a pity if he was mute with such a beautiful face!"

Xiao Jingxuan raised his hand without hesitation and slapped her hand away fiercely, his eyes full of disgust, as if she was some disgusting and dirty thing.

His cold gaze shot at the woman like a sharp sword, causing her heart to tremble involuntarily.

Then he closed his eyes tightly, ignored the woman and completely isolated her from his world.

When Hu Xiyue saw him like this, she didn't feel the slightest bit of anger in her heart. Instead, she felt an even stronger curiosity and goodwill towards him.

From the moment she saw him for the first time, her heart seemed to be gently touched by something.

During these three days, she took good care of him, and every time she saw his peaceful sleeping face, her heart was filled with ripples.

She knew that she might have fallen in love with this strange man.

She began to look forward to his speedy recovery, to having more communication with him, to learning about his past, and to entering his world.

She was willing to do anything for him, just hoping to see a warm smile occasionally on his stern face.

Hu Xiyue took good care of Xiao Jingxuan. She would bring him medicine that she prepared herself every day.

He would also tell him some interesting stories about the Western Regions, trying to ease his vigilance and anxiety.

Two more days passed.

Xiao Jingxuan's physical condition gradually improved, and he could finally walk freely. The wound on his chest was no longer as painful as before.

That day, Hu Xiyue came to feed him medicine as usual.

Xiao Jingxuan looked at the medicine bowl in her hand, frowned slightly, reached out and took the bowl directly, tilted his head back and drank the medicine in one gulp.

Then, he stared at Hu Xiyue with a cold gaze and said firmly: "Thank you for saving me. I will leave tomorrow."

This was the first time he spoke. His voice was low and pleasant, and Hu Xiyue felt a numbness in her heart when she heard it.

But when I heard that he was leaving, I became anxious.

She had finally met a man who made her heart beat so fast, how could she let him out of her sight so easily?

There was a flash of determination in her eyes, and she confessed in front of Xiao Jingxuan without hesitation: "I love you. From the first time I saw you, you have lived in my heart. Please don't leave."

However, Xiao Jingxuan still had that stern expression on his face, and he refused coldly without hesitation: "I'm married."

A strong sense of unwillingness surged in Hu Xiyue's heart. She was unwilling to lose him like this.

Driven by a strong possessive desire, she made a crazy decision.

At night, she secretly put medicine in the food she prepared for Xiao Jingxuan.

When the effect of the medicine took effect, she came to Xiao Jingxuan's room with trepidation.

She thought she could take this opportunity to get together with Xiao Jingxuan and keep him by her side forever.

But she never expected that Xiao Jingxuan's willpower was far beyond her imagination.

Although Xiao Jingxuan felt extremely uncomfortable, he still endured it with his tenacious willpower.

He glared at Hu Xiyue, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

In extreme anger, he used all his strength, raised his hand and knocked Hu Xiyue unconscious, then mercilessly threw her out the door like an object.
