Xie Jing Xing's eyebrows moved, "Good idea."
"Xie Jing Xing!" Shen Miao cried out.
"You call me by my Xiao name smoothly." Xie Jing Xing stuffed the handkerchief that he used to wipe Shen Miao's tears into her hands, "Sleep. I will leave once the rain stops."
Shen Miao was so exasperated that the charming atmosphere in the room disappeared in an instant. How would there be a young lady sleeping with a strange male watching over her? What kind of shameful matter was this? Xie Jing Xing did such unruly things all day long.
"With Prince Rui here, I cannot sleep." Shen Miao looked at him expressionlessly. With Xie Jing Xing's interruption, the depression that she had because of Cang Zai Qing dissipated by a lot and even her face relaxed a lot.
Xie Jing Xing reached out to lift her chin and forced Shen Miao to stare at his eyes as he said slowly, "Look clearly. This Prince is of royal blood and has the aura of a True Dragon. With this Prince staying in your room, demons and monsters would not dare to come so you would not have nightmares. "
Shen Miao laughed instead of getting angry and broke free from his hand, "So to say, I should still thank Prince Rui?"
"Correct."
Shen Miao glared at Xie Jing Xing but her mood gradually relaxed. Xie Jing Xing did not ask her anything else and no matter if Xie Jing Xing really did not guess it or pretended not to ask, it made her feel that she had escaped a calamity. Now she did not have any energy to deal with other people and Xie Jing Xing did not say anything but help. Just like this kind of sarcasm, it was insignificant.
Xie Jing Xing walked to the window and pulled it open to prevent the rain from coming in. He walked to the table not far from the couch and sat down. He casually picked up a book and looked like he was going to sit down and read. He did not even turn his head back as he said, "With this Prince here, you can rest assured and sleep."
Shen Miao moved her lips and wanted to say something but in the end she did not say anything. The wind and rain outside were cold and the lightning was frightening. She wrapped herself in the bedding and only her head was exposed but her eyes unconsciously looked at the person at the table.
Even when the youth was sitting, his posture was slender and tall. He was casually flipping through the book but had a very serious look. Looking from the side, he was really handsome. Under the pale yellow light, his whole person seemed to be gentler. Without the frivolous past, the current Xie Jing Xing seemed calm and gentle. His figure seemed to be able to cover all the wind and rain. Even if he didn't say anything, he could give people a sense of trust.
He was a schemer, cold and ruthless. He deceived the world, but he also had the decisiveness to cut off all means of retreat. Fooling the royal family, replacing the pillar with the beam. On the surface, he seemed to be cynical, but with a flip of his hand, he was able to summon clouds and rain with a turn of his hand. He wasn't a good person, but … He wasn't as heartless as he thought.
Shen Miao's mood, in the wind and rain outside, that little bit of sorrow and pain seemed to be covered under the light of the lamp as she slowly closed her eyes.
The pitter-patter of rain finally stopped after a long time. There was only a little flame left in the oil lamp on the table. The flame swayed slightly, and it looked like it was about to go out.
The purple-clothed youth in front of the table closed the book in his hand, stood up, and walked to the side of the bed.
On the bed, the girl slept peacefully and breathed evenly. Her long hair was spread on the pillow and when she closed her eyes, she did not have the usual dignified look. Instead there was a bit more tranquility, which made her look even more childish.
She was actually only sixteen years old and was still a young girl. In an ordinary family, a sixteen year old young girl would most likely be thinking about which family's youth was better looking or which family's perfume bag was more fragrant.
Xie Jing Xing's gaze was somewhat complicated.
From the first time he saw Shen Miao, Shen Miao had just reached a marriageable age and what she displayed was a shrewdness that was completely different from her age. It was shrewdness and not calmness. The situation that the Shen family was facing was very complicated but she never seemed to panic. She would counter soldiers with arms and water with an earth weir, as if she had long expected it.
