The Paranoid Prince is pretending to be pitiful again [Transmigration Book]

The boy named Xiao Ting seemed a little hesitant, "But...he is..."

"Whoever comes, don't disturb the interest of the men, just wait here, and when the two masters finish their meal, I will come and let you know if you want to see you."

"But...that time..."

"Okay, the Tenth Highness is inside, do you think those cats and dogs can compare to the Tenth Highness?"

The woman walked in as she spoke, making gestures to close the door, but she did not forget to turn her head to look at Xiaoting, "Still going in?"

"Well..." He looked at the man, and then at Duan Xingyu, "Then...Master Duan, we'll go in first, please wait a moment, when the Ninth Prince finishes his meal, he will definitely..."

Before Xiao Ting finished speaking, Tsing Yi pulled him in, and the door closed with a "bang".

Ah Qin sighed, walked to Duan Xingyu's side without complaining, "Master, shall we wait?"

Duan Xingyu nodded without saying a word.

The afterglow in the sky was gradually being swallowed up by the night, Ah Qin said softly, "Master, the Ninth Prince probably won't be free tonight, why don't we go back first?"

Duan Xingyu was blown a little cold by the autumn wind, and just about to nod, the door opened at this moment, and a gorgeously dressed man came out.

Duan Xingyu didn't know him, but as soon as the man came out and saw Duan Xingyu, he never looked away. He widened his eyes, "Are you... Duan Xingyu?"

He has already approached and looked at him from head to toe, "Are you Duan Xingyu?"

"who are you?"

The previous woman in Tsing Yi came out again, she pointed at Duan Xingyu and shouted, "Bold, why don't you salute when you see the Tenth Prince?"

Duan Xingyu paused, and immediately saluted, "I have seen the Tenth Prince."

Ah Qin followed suit.

"Don't be too polite, don't be too polite." He looked at Tsing Yi, "Wei Ling, I think you are getting bolder."

"Hmph!" The woman walked in with her hands.

The tenth prince didn't pay any attention, and directly led Duan Xingyu into the door, "Why are you here?"

"I have something to do with the Ninth Prince." Duan Xingyu asked him, "The Tenth Prince knew me before?"

"I don't know... I just saw you in white clothes and your appearance, so I guessed that you should be the Duan Xingyu that Brother Nine often mentioned."

Does Xie Shijue often mention him?Duan Xingyu was a little puzzled, but he just listened quietly and didn't interrupt.

"But it's not a coincidence. Brother Jiu said he was going out for a trip, and even I was kicked out. I pestered him for a long time, but I didn't find out where he was going." He looked at Duan Xingyu inexplicably, He tentatively said, "Isn't it a beautiful woman who has a date?"

But Duan Xingyu didn't respond, so the tenth prince had no choice but to stop talking, just sweating for his ninth brother in his heart.

"Ninth brother, do you see who is here?"

Xie Shijue was arranging his bun and was about to leave for Duan Xingyu's mansion. Hearing the voice of the Tenth Prince, he was impatient why he came back again. Looking back, he saw that it was Duan Xingyu, and his eyes were filled with surprise All lit up.

Duan Xingyu bowed to him as soon as he entered the door, "I have met the Ninth Prince."

Xie Shijue's expression froze for a moment, and he immediately stepped forward, "What are you doing? We haven't seen each other for an hour, and you have a quarrel with me?"

"This is not in the school, you are the prince, I should salute you."

Xie Shijue said, "As I said, you don't need to salute me."

Duan Xingyu didn't change his expression, "Even though we are friends, there is...a difference in respect."

"You've never been like this before."

"Once upon a time I passed over."

Duan Xingyu's words were somewhat angry, but he didn't realize it.

"You..." Xie Shijue was really puzzled, and really couldn't figure out why he was like this all of a sudden.

"That..." The Tenth Prince was also very embarrassed beside him, "Ninth Brother, then I'll go back first."

"Brother Duan, goodbye, I will play with you again when I have a chance."

Duan Xingyu bowed slightly and bid farewell to him.

Xie Shijue looked at him, stepped forward to hold his hand, and asked, "But you've been waiting in the mansion for a long time, and you're angry? The tenth brother stayed here for dinner, so it's my fault for the delay."

"No." Duan Xingyu withdrew his hand and took a step back, "Father asked me to come and learn from the Ninth Prince."

Duan Xingyu's backing action didn't mean much at all, but Xie Shijue's heart ached when he saw it.

He looked outside the door and said softly, "Okay, let's study and go to the study."

Duan Xingyu behaved as always, except for Xie Shijue's answer "Yes" when he asked him if he understood, and didn't say a word of extra words.

Xie Shijue was not in high spirits, and wanted to ask him what was wrong several times, but all his courage was wiped out by his neglectful eyes, and Duan Xingyu's eyes were never on him.

Two hours passed, the night was getting dark, the candles in the room were flickering, and the two sat at the table, looking happy and warm, but in fact they had their own concerns.

"Then let's stop here today, are we resting?"

"Okay." Duan Xingyu packed up his books, got up and asked, "Where do I live tonight?"

Xie Shijue was a little taken aback, "Don't you want to sleep in the same room with me?"

Duan Xingyu tilted his head to look at the candlelight, "If the Ninth Prince forgets to have the house cleaned up first, then I can sleep in the same room with Ah Qin."

"." Xie Shijue curled his fingers into a fist and said in a low voice, "Usually the tenth brother will live in the room next to me when he comes over, you can stay here first."

"Thank you Ninth Prince."

Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, Xie Shijue just watched and said dejectedly, "Let's go."

It was very quiet at night, the two walked from the study to the room, there was no sound other than the deliberately light footsteps.

"Here we are." Xie Shijue stopped, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"say what?"

The bright moonlight fell, and the shadows of the two were mottled and intertwined.

"Okay." Xie Shijue pushed open the door, "Go in and rest early."

After Duan Xingyu went in, he didn't light the candle, and lay down on the bed after getting rid of his exhaustion.

He stared intently at the moonlight leaking through the window, his mind was in a state of confusion, not knowing what was wrong with him.

It is clear that Xie Shijue did nothing wrong, and he doesn't understand what he is messing with.

When Xie Shijue returned to the house, Xiao Ting was sitting inside and dozing off, with his head drooping little by little, and he woke up immediately when he heard the sound.

"Your Highness, you are back. I thought you read all night, and I prepared hot water for your eyes. If you don't come back, the water will be cold again!" Xiao Ting went to Xie Shijue with a basin.

Xie Shijue sat down and pressed his temples wearily, "Leave the water first. Let me ask you first, do you know where the boy who came with Mr. Duan lives?"

"Sister Wei Ling arranged for him to live in the west wing."

"Well. You go and call him."

Xiao Ting stared at him with a pair of big black eyes, "Does Your Highness have any orders? The same is true for Xiao Ting."

"No. I saw him...in a bad mood today, and I want to know who made him unhappy, or...what did I do wrong..." Xie Shijue lowered his eyebrows and sighed.

Xiao Ting naturally knew who the "he" Xie Shijue was referring to, but at this moment he didn't know whether to say it properly, "I... Your Highness... Maybe I know what's wrong with Mr. Duan..."

"?you know?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Ting hesitated, "Maybe it's because of Sister Wei Ling. Actually, Mr. Duan waited outside the door for a long time today... He didn't bring him in until His Royal Highness went out."

"What? What's going on? What does this have to do with Wei Ling?"

Xiao Ting stumbled, but it was enough for Xie Shijue to understand. After understanding the ins and outs, Xie Shijue was anxious and angry, "Why didn't you report to me earlier?"

"I want to report to the young master, but sister Wei Ling won't let me disturb the young master."

"..." Xie Shijue took a deep breath, "Okay, I understand, you go to sleep first, there is no need to keep watch tonight."

Xie Shijue didn't want to wait any longer, and immediately went to the room where Duan Xingyu was.

He knocked on the door lightly, but after knocking, he regretted that he was too impatient, and at this moment he might have fallen asleep.

He didn't knock on the door again, and he didn't leave.

A rustling voice came from inside, "Who?"

Immediately afterwards, the candlelight lit up from inside, and Duan Xingyu was only separated by a door, "Who is outside?"

"I."

After a moment of silence inside, Duan Xingyu asked again, "Is there something wrong?"

Xie Shijue said in a muffled voice, "I want to go in, can I?"

His voice seemed a little wronged, Duan Xingyu hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door.

Xie Shijue embraced him as soon as he entered the door, but hugged him tightly without speaking.

"You..." Duan Xingyu was startled, and reached out to press his stomach, trying to push him away.

Xie Shijue locked him hard, resting his chin on his shoulder, silent.

"You let go."

"I already know. I'm sorry, I made you wait outside for so long, it's my fault, it's my fault for not disciplining the people in the house, it's all my fault..." Xie Shijue whispered in his ear, "But don't be angry with me, okay? Don't treat me like a stranger, okay? Don't treat me like a prince, just treat me as a friend, can't you?"

His whispered words scratched Duan Xingyu's ears like a dog's tail, making it difficult for him to concentrate and listen carefully to what he was saying.

"Let go first..." Duan Xingyu used some strength to break free from his arms.

Xie Shijue's hands were drooping, his head was drooping, his eyelids drooped downwards, his eyelashes cast a shadow, and he looked extremely depressed.

"I'm not angry." Duan Xingyu looked at his aggrieved look, sighed, closed the door, pulled him to sit by the bed, and defended himself, "I'm just...a little tired today."

These words are to coax Shi Jue to thank him, but also to coax himself.

He was irritated for no reason, maybe it was because of Wei Ling's words, or maybe it was because his father reminded him that Xie Shijue was a prince, and he was different from his friends after all.But, what's so annoying about it, Duan Xingyu couldn't figure out what he was suffering from.
