She Prince

“What are you thinking about?,” HenYu brings me out of my thought of what happened a couple of days back.

My brain never forgets about it and whenever I be with him I cannot get along as always because my inner being warns me about what he thinks about me.

Will he like me even if he didn’t know that I’m a woman?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’ve been absent minded for a long time,” snaking his hand around my neck he pulls me closer “You look pale did something happen?,” He asks lowly smiling mischievously.

“Nothing,” removing his arm from my neck I walk forward entering the store.

Feng Lei and I did not speak much after that incident as no one pulled up a topic. I kept myself in distance from him and we never made eye contact. We converse when there is something important the other time it’s just a smile which we pass.

ChengLi and HenYu found us suspicious the very next day but I shoved them off by telling it’s nothing.

My heart beat rises when he gets closer and his every gestures makes it feels like I’m special or it can be put as I’m hallucinating.

I brought HenYu along with me after class promising him that I’ll treat him a meal if he helps me to buy something for Xu Xu as tomorrow is her birthday.

I decided to let her know about my identity tomorrow as I don’t want to hide it anymore from her after knowing each other for a long time.

Picking up the container of blush I open the jar to smell it the scent of feminism hitting my nostrils, it’s finely crushed rose petals. Handing over the container to HenYu I examine the other items placed on the wooden rack.

“Whoa,” he pulls me to his side “Look at these KeKe,” he giggles like a kid, behaving like we are here for him.

My eyes glints in awe looking at the carved hairpins, selecting the three most appealing ones I try to choose one. HenYu and I keep on examining each one of the three to choose the best one.

“Which one is good?,” I ask him my eyes admiring the neat cutwork.

I haven’t bought her any hairpins so I think this will make her happy, it’s really worth to bring him along.

“Buy that,” he points at the one which I am holding, replacing the other two pins he takes the one from my hand “It’s a new design I guess, I’ve never seen this before,” he takes a closer look at it.

“Seems like you know more about it,”

“Yes, I do,” taking the object even closer to his eyes he caresses it like investigating on it to feel the details.

“Why are you exaggerating?,” I snap watching his dramatic behaviour.

“Don’t speak,” closing his eyes he takes a deep breath in “This pin is to be gifted for someone special,” he states facing me his chin raised up in pride.

“Really,” snapping the pin from his hold I take a closer look at it making my eyes small when I curl up my eyebrows, turning to my right I see him who is still caught up by his pride ” You think I’m a fool,” I punch on his arm letting his wide smile turn to a weak one.

It’s carved on the top part of the pin below the design the word ‘You’re special’ which can be seen when we take a closer look at it or caress on it.

“Keep this,” Handing over the pin to HenYu who puts it in his pocket I take out the silver stones to pay the shopkeeper so that we can leave early.

The main path is crowded due to a wedding ceremony close by therefore HenYu and I make our way out through the short cut. The view of people rushing over changes to a place where insects are flying making the surrounding capture only the sound of nature combining with our foot steps making my mind to go back to the thought of him.

“Watch out,” HenYu pulls me to his side abruptly the sudden movement bringing me out of my thoughts making me to register what’s happening around us, I turn to see the opposite direction an arrow stabbed into the muddy land by the side of the pond in the bridge we are standing on.

The sound of the blade getting through the air hits my ear, I look up immediately to see another arrow coming towards us. Grabbing Henyu’s hand I drag him with me moving in a zigzag motion as many arrows are coming our way.

Maintaining the bent posture I hold him by my arm around his neck. The arrows come shooting at our direction out of nowhere. I try to stop in my tracks to check who is on the other side but I don’t have the time to do so as multiple arrows makes it’s way toward us.

Pushing HenYu to the bottom part at the end of the bridge where the muddy wall is curved and covered with plants, I step aside to see three men on the horse back with their half face covered in veil, holding the bow with a bunch of arrows in the basket tied behind their back.

The cloudy sky and the mist which is forming by the trees makes my vision unclear, keeping a step forward I stand on my tippy toe to watch over the obstacles which are covering them yet I cannot take a clear picture in distant.

My instinct doubts that it’s JiangYi but I’m not very sure about it as two men seems to be a guard because they are in the royal guard suit. Curiosity is killing me right now distracting my safe alarm. Holding a branch which is hanging out I keep another step forward moving my head up first as the arrows are shot aimlessly.

“What are you looking at?,” HenYu whisper yells coming out of the safe place he pulls me over him into it making me fall over him.

Sitting up straight instantly I look outside hearing the droplets of water dripping from the leaves, the environment captures silence quickly when it begins to drizzle.

“Why are they attacking us?,” He begins to question grumbling ” Who are they? Do you know them? What’s going on here? I’m afraid! I don’t want to di…,”

“Hush,” rolling my eyes I place my index finger on his lips while my eyes focuses outside my ears working on the sounds “They’re leaving,” furrowing my eyebrows I pay attention to the sound of the horses galloping, the sky being clear not showing a sign of rain.

“Why do you have so many questions?,” Puffing annoyingly I walk out of the shelter, standing up I look around to confirm that they are gone.

“That was freaking creepy,” dusting his hands against each other he leans a little forward “Do you exercise, tell me what you do?,” he claps his hands enthusiastically.

Moving my head behind forming the double chin I watch him with furrowed eyebrows “No, Why do you ask?”

“You have a hard chest,” he smiles enigmatically by raising his brows high making me to stare at him with a look of Are-you-crazy?

Let me check he brings his hand forward to touch, my mouth opens without my intention when he brings his hand closer. To stop him I keep a step behind, my eyes widens when I feel the slippery feeling under my boots, I try to hold Henyu’s hand which he brings forward to help me but I miss it as my body loses gravity.

“YuYu I’ll kill you,” I scream aloud angrily when my body gets into the water.

Help me, I don’t know to swim.
