Chapter 68: Saving the Aloof Crown Prince 19

After returning from the suburbs.

He too had spent the day rushing about, exhausted; Xiao Su was so tired in the carriage that he leaned on Jin Chen and fell asleep.

Upon arriving at Tai Zi Fu, Jin Chen didn't wake him, instead carrying him straight back inside.

Everyone inside and around the residence is trustworthy; the spies planted by the Emperor and Xiao Yunye have all been brought under control.

"Instruct the servants below to serve dinner in half an hour."

After Xiao Su entered the residence, he quietly instructed Li You.

Only then did he carry Xiao Su into the Qin Gong.

No sooner had he placed him on the bed than he woke up.

His long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings; Xiao Su frowned and curled into Jin Chen's embrace.

The bed was freezing; sleeping there was utterly uncomfortable.

"Cold."

His voice, still thick with sleep, trembled; his usually aloof demeanor vanished before Jin Chen, and he acted spoiled without restraint.

Like a kitten's tiny paws scratching his heart, it was both tingling and endearing.

Jin Chen lightly kissed his brow, so tender it was beyond words.

"Be good, I'll stay with you."

He removed both of their outer garments, then used his inner energy to warm the blankets before letting Xiao Su lie down, his movements gentle and affectionate.

"Go to sleep."

Xiao Su clutched Jin Chen's inner shirt, blinked his phoenix eyes; his drowsiness was obvious, yet he remained languid all over, unwilling to move.

He yawned, shifted his body, his long hair falling slightly messy, the collar of his inner garment askew, revealing a beautifully shaped collarbone and fair, tender skin.

He poked Jin Chen's shoulder, "I can't sleep."

"Then shall we get up and have dinner?"

"No."

Xiao Su pouted, leaning closer into Jin Chen's embrace, "Just let me lie like this."

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +20, total now 70!】

It's reached 70…

A hint of mischief flashed in Jin Chen's peach-blossom eyes as his palm rested on Xiao Su's slender waist, exploring ambiguously.

"Just lying like this is so boring."

"Why don't we do something that can only be done in bed?"

Xiao Su hummed in confusion, not reacting at once, half-lifting his head, his phoenix eyes doubtful as they turned to Jin Chen.

"What?"

Jin Chen curled his lips, lowered his head to take Xiao Su's soft lips, grinding them gently.

During this time they had not been entirely unfamiliar with such intimacy; thus, although Xiao Su felt a little shy, he still closed his eyes slightly and tried to respond to Jin Chen.

But gradually he sensed something was off.

Jin Chen's warm palm rubbed against the fabric, making Xiao Su's waist grow softer and softer, and he could not restrain a few soft moans from his throat.

"…Mm."

Xiao Su pushed against Jin Chen's chest, finding it hard to catch his breath.

But this time, Jin Chen did not let him go as he usually did.

Instead, he swiftly turned his body, pressing Xiao Su onto the bed, his lips slowly moving downward to lick the collarbone he had long desired.

The hand at his waist also slipped inside his clothing, fingers teasing.

"…Jin Chen!"

Xiao Su's breath grew ragged, he clenched his lips, tears spilling from the corners of his eyes, his phoenix eyes growing ever more dazed.

What a strange feeling…

So hot, so uncomfortable…

Xiao Su, who had never known pleasure in either life, did not understand what was happening to him; instinctively he wanted to cling to Jin Chen and act spoiled.

"Uncomfortable, you… don't… do this."

Jin Chen's cheekbones were deep-set, a doting smile appearing on his face, his hand's motion unceasing: "Be good, it'll feel good soon."

His palm slipped lower.

Xiao Su's eyes were misty, his lashes damp, his gaze unfocused, his lips bitten to keep from making strange sounds.

Yet Jin Chen's kisses fell upon him, fine and dense, landing again at the corner of his mouth.

"Bao Bao, don't bite your lip bloody; there's no one guarding outside."

A low voice sounded in his ear, Youyou, making his heart melt, his lifeline grasped; Xiao Su now listened to him especially closely.

A soft hum of breath came, Jin Chen gave a satisfied light chuckle, "Bao Bao… are you comfortable?"

With those words, the motion of his palm quickened a bit.

Xiao Su reached the breaking point, his back arching into a beautiful curve, his toes curling; after a while, his whole body went limp.

His pallid cheeks flushed with shame, his lips crimson, faint bite marks appearing, sweat beading at his forehead, black hair strands sticking to him, endlessly alluring and pitiable.

His clothing was in disarray, exposing his pale, tender waist and the red marks left by Jin Chen's grip, his whole body trembling.

He came to his senses, unexpectedly meeting Jin Chen's doting gaze, which also held endless desire in its amber pupils.

"Bao Bao looks so good… I want to bully him."

"This isn't just bullying, is it?"

Xiao Su gave a soft hum, mist gathering in his eyes, his damp long lashes lifting, "You're terrible."

Outside the window it's still bright—how can it be, how can it be just daytime…

"But Bao Bao was clearly enjoying it just now."

Jin Chen removed both of their clothes.

He brought Xiao Su's hand to rest on his own firm abs, moving it ambiguously.

"I haven't even started enjoying yet."

Xiao Su was startled by the scorching sensation, his cheeks flushing even redder.

"I won't."

"You don't need to, I'll do it."

Jin Chen chuckled low, leaned in again, and kissed those red lips.

The soft curtains were pulled down, covering the bed's spring scenery.

The dinner that had been sent up earlier to the outer room gradually grew cold.

But the people inside had no time to come out and eat.

Jin Chen clung to Xiao Su, calling him 'husband' and 'A-Chen' back and forth.

——

Xiao Su fell into a faint sleep, and Jin Chen held him while wiping his body clean.

When he woke again, three hours had passed, and the moon hung high.

His waist sore and weak, he shifted uncomfortably, waking Jin Chen.

"I'm hungry!"

His tone was aggrieved and dissatisfied.

Jin Chen showed no irritation at being disturbed from his drowsiness; he lightly kissed Xiao Su's slightly swollen lip corner and asked, "Shall I make you some porridge?"

"Hmm…"

Xiao Su nodded, "It's freezing on the bed, you'd better come back quickly."

"Okay."

Jin Chen got up and dressed.

He had just stepped out the door when he ran into Li You, who was burning paper outside the Qin Gong courtyard.

The moonlight was dim, Li You squatted on the ground, his face lit by the fire, muttering absentmindedly.

Jin Chen: "……"

What on earth is wrong with this person.

Seeing him come out, Li You widened his eyes and quickly walked up to Jin Chen.

"How did you come out! Is Your Highness hungry!"

Jin Chen pressed his lips together, "How do you know?"

He glanced at the paper money on the ground.

"……Defu said Your Highness hasn't touched dinner, even after reheating it twice no one came out, and you've been staying in the inner chamber—of course I can guess what you're up to!"

Li You explained solemnly.

Jin Chen was speechless, "He's hungry, I'll go make him something to eat."

"Oh oh! Then hurry up, but don't let Your Highness starve!"

Li You squatted back to where he was burning paper money, continuing his muttering.

What weird nonsense.

Jin Chen headed straight to the kitchen to make porridge.

By the time he returned with the bowl, Li You had finally gone back to rest, no longer muttering strangely.

Seeing Jin Chen return, Xiao Su sat up and leaned into his embrace.

"Be good, eat quickly."

Jin Chen held the bowl and fed him in small mouthfuls.

Xiao Su ate the porridge, utterly exhausted, and fell asleep again.

The two slept entwined.

——

Next instance, come pick one quick—I'll see which has more support.

Tentatively, it's the full process of the love variety show featuring the arrogant entertainment‑industry movie emperor and singing‑dancing newcomer Jin Chen.

Or it's the voice‑controlled sleep‑aid cat and the insomniac tyrant CEO Jin Chen.
