Troublemaker Prince Chapter 19
Translated by Sylver (ko-fi)
Chapter 19
Young people must never indulge in pleasure; at such a tender age, they must never ruin their health.
You Yusui had lived for more than ten lifetimes and had never lived past twenty, but looking at the young man before him, he suddenly had the thought of wanting him to live a hundred years. Therefore, such behavior of youthful indulgence had to be stopped.
Just as You Yusui was about to speak and lecture Huo Xiling about taking care of his body, Huo Xiling lowered his eyes and silently carried him back to the bed without saying a word.
You Yusui's body was placed on the soft bed, his raven-black long hair spread across the bed like seaweed. In the next moment, Huo Xiling's body leaned down, and the unique scent of grass and wood on the young man enveloped You Yusui. That exquisite face with deep contours suddenly enlarged before You Yusui's eyes, his pupils a beautiful black color like obsidian, reflecting only his figure within them.
He could feel the warm breath Huo Xiling exhaled, tickling him. Especially at the moment when Huo Xiling lowered his head, You Yusui's pupils involuntarily widened, feeling somewhat nervous, vaguely anticipating something.
If Huo Xiling acted coquettishly again, nuzzling his neck and hair while calling him "brother," then whatever Huo Xiling wanted to do, he would not resist.
The current You Yusui had long forgotten about young people not being able to indulge in pleasure; he had long been blinded by desire.
Just when You Yusui thought Huo Xiling would kiss him, unexpectedly he only reached out to smooth You Yusui's hair, then carefully tucked the blanket around You Yusui.
You Yusui couldn't help but freeze on the spot. What did this mean?
"Your Highness, please rest well. I will guard you from outside," Huo Xiling stood up and said.
Without waiting for You Yusui to react, Huo Xiling had already left the bedside and returned to the couch by the window.
The next moment, You Yusui suddenly sat up from the bed.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Huo Xiling, who was just about to lie back down on his couch, asked.
"Nothing," You Yusui said in a deep voice. "It's just that this bed is biting this prince."
"Huh?" Huo Xiling was confused and was about to refute that beds don't bite people, but thinking that his earlier request to share the bed had angered the Crown Prince, he didn't dare say more and silently lay back down on the couch.
You Yusui looked through the thin gauze hanging from the bed at Huo Xiling's figure lying on the couch, and for some reason felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"You are not allowed to turn over during the night. You must maintain one position until this prince wakes up," You Yusui commanded imperiously.
This requirement was extremely difficult to fulfill, and if others heard it, they would think You Yusui was being unreasonably demanding. However, Huo Xiling obediently agreed and then maintained one position without moving.
Seeing this, You Yusui felt an inexplicable sense of great frustration for some reason. Annoyed, he pulled the bedding tightly around himself, then turned away to stop looking at Huo Xiling, silently reminding himself in his heart that this relationship was just a transaction. He needed to pay sufficient benefits to continue being coaxed, to obtain all the emotions he wanted to possess from Huo Xiling, even if they were fake.
After noticing the movement from You Yusui's side, Huo Xiling couldn't help but sigh softly. He had initially wanted to use emotions to bind the Crown Prince, but what the Crown Prince gave him in return was a pile of lifeless objects. Regarding his feelings, he only smiled and said, "You coax me, and I'm very happy."
Therefore, Huo Xiling couldn't help but resort to this desperate measure, starting to establish a connection through physical intimacy, but he was sternly rejected by the Crown Prince.
Huo Xiling couldn't help but wonder: hadn't the Crown Prince initially saved him precisely for his body and face? Why was the Crown Prince now increasingly resistant to closer contact with him?
Huo Xiling's gaze fell on the Crown Prince's back. He thought he needed to take things slowly and steadily.
Thus, Huo Xiling maintained the same sleeping position all night. Early the next morning, when You Yusui woke up, he saw that Huo Xiling was still maintaining last night's position.
Seeing this, You Yusui couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused. He would actually comply with such an unreasonable request. It had to be said that he had indeed slept very well last night.
"Your Highness is awake," Huo Xiling immediately sensed You Yusui's movement and got up from the couch, then walked to You Yusui's side, taking the clothes from the rack to dress You Yusui.
You Yusui glanced at Huo Xiling indifferently, then said, "So obedient to this prince's words. If this prince told you to die, would you listen too?"
Huo Xiling reached out to pull You Yusui's long hair out from under the collar of his outer garment and said, "Your Highness can ask me to do anything, let alone die."
After saying this, Huo Xiling nuzzled You Yusui's neck again and said softly, "Moreover, brother has me in his heart and can't bear to let me die."
Hearing this, You Yusui's lips couldn't help but curve up slightly, then he pretended to be reserved and said, "You certainly know how to coax this prince."
After saying this, You Yusui called for Laibao to bring out a box of pearls for Huo Xiling to play with as marbles.
"A reward for you. This prince is very happy," You Yusui lifted his chin and said.
Huo Xiling picked up the large, round pearls one by one and looked at You Yusui, saying, "Does Your Highness really want to spoil me into a sycophantic male favorite who 'endures hunger and cold while chasing golden balls'?"
You Yusui, who was combing his hair, glanced at Huo Xiling lightly and said, "This prince is willing to."
After finishing his grooming, You Yusui began his morning meal. Just then, a young eunuch walked into the inner chamber, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, the feathered cloak that you asked the seamstresses to make is ready."
Hearing this, You Yusui was delighted and put down his silver chopsticks, saying, "Quickly bring it for this prince to see."
As soon as he finished speaking, another young eunuch brought the feathered cloak forward. You Yusui immediately took it and shook it open. The hem, like peacock tail feathers, shimmered with dazzling brilliance in the sunlight, and after being interwoven with gold thread, it became even more luxurious and magnificent. The large areas of black patterned fabric on the cloak also made this feathered cloak appear grand and opulent.
This was precisely the feathered dress that You Yusui had spent a fortune to purchase. He had only wanted the most gorgeous hem portion and had it made into a feathered cloak for Huo Xiling.
"Try it on," You Yusui said, then helped Huo Xiling put on the cloak.
After Huo Xiling wore this feathered cloak, You Yusui had to admire that someone so handsome could carry off even such an extravagant and flamboyant feathered cloak, even transforming it into an air of nobility that was pleasing to the eye.
However...
You Yusui looked at the simple training outfit Huo Xiling was wearing underneath and couldn't help but frown. He needed to change into something else.
"Where are the clothes I had made for you?" You Yusui asked.
"They're..."
"Never mind, this prince will personally choose for you," You Yusui interrupted Huo Xiling and turned to have someone bring out Huo Xiling's clothing chest.
Seeing the clothing chest being brought out, Huo Xiling's heart jumped in alarm, and he hastily tried to stop it, but it was too late. You Yusui had already reached out and opened it.
The moment the clothing chest opened, You Yusui froze. The clothes inside were all extremely familiar—his worn socks, handkerchiefs for wiping sweat, and intimate undergarments were all stored in this chest.
However, You Yusui quickly regained his composure. He used his slender, pale fingers to gently pick up the pure white undergarment that carried his scent from the chest, then held it up to Huo Xiling with a half-smile, saying in a voice both teasing and ambiguous, "Can you tell this prince what you were planning to do with them?"
