Catastrophe Love
Chapter 4's

Early in the morning, Shen Xueyue decided to get out of her bed and go for a walk around the palace area. He wanted to memorize all the corners of the palace and some important buildings in the palace. For example, where is the palace library, where the location of the pavilion where his mother lived and memorize some other places that he needs to know.

He thought back to himself disguised as a prince. Actually, he thought about it. Why should the empress take issue with her being born a woman? The king doesn't even matter. King wanted. Supposedly with her birth as a woman, will not the queen be very dear to the King? Because in the end the empress was able to fulfill the wishes of the King who wanted his beloved empress to give birth to a baby girl.

Xueyue shook her head in frustration. He did not find the answers to the questions that had arisen in his mind.

As he toured the palace, An Xi and An Nan faithfully accompanied him behind his back. Re-describe every building and place they went through in great detail. Both will also tell themselves if they meet someone along the way. If it was a prince, then An Xi or An Nan would whisper telling him thoroughly. And if it was an official, they would also explain everything about that person. Both where the official came from, how his family was, and what his position was.

It was to the point where he suddenly met an official who was blind in his right eye. The official was a bit limp perhaps, as he had a wooden tool to walk on. Everywhere, Xueyue felt that this person was extremely dangerous.

"He's Mr. Wen Zhu. We only knew that he was a single official until this very moment. But he had an adopted son named Wen Tong."

DEG!

Wen Tong's name made Xueyue's heart involuntarily beat unruffled. It was a kind of trauma feeling that hearing something related to her trauma made her tremble. Xueyue was no exception. Perhaps, that feeling arose because the owner of his body still had a deep trauma to Wen Tong until this second even after his death.

Xueyue smirked in mystery as she looked at Wen Zhu who was not far from herself walking over. It seemed like Wen Zhu realized that someone was watching him with a hostile look, so the old man reflexively turned to Xueyue who had now decided to leave without seeing him again.

As the feeling suddenly disappeared, Wen Zhu decided to shake off his strange feeling and walked back. And just then, Xueyue again stopped and looked at Wen Zhu's back full of hostility.

"Let's walk again" Xueyue said, without letting go of her eye contact from Wen Zhu's back which had already disappeared completely.

"Do you know that you've actually been betrothed to Wen's son-in-law?"

"What?!" Xueyue was in shock at his place instantly. Stopping her footsteps until it made An Xi and An Nan hit her shoulder.

"ah! Prince!" screeched An Xi, slightly surprised.

"What did you say, just now?" parrot, ask again.

An Nan and An Xi glanced at each other, before An Nan decided to make a sound. "A few months ago, before you had an unexpected accident recently, the King allowed mister Wen Zhu to speak one eye. Mr. Wen submitted his proposal proposing to you for young master Wen Tong, his only son. At first the King was very angry. How can a man like a man. Then Mr. Wen explained the reason. And the King though presumably reluctant, yet he finally agreed to it."

"Why did my father decide on my marriage?! And.. Same-sex marriage?! So disgusting!" Xueyue burst into rage with a stern expression of disdain. That made An Nan and An Xi scared. The reason, Xueyue dared to blame their King's decision in a public place. Where if someone passed by and if only heard Xueyue's playful words, they could easily be reported and get a punishment that they might never have imagined. Xueyue was no exception either.

"Prince! Please control your words" An Xi whispered, in a trembling voice of fear.

Xueyue would naturally not be afraid. He's not wrong. But for the sake of An Xi and An Nan at the moment, he inevitably had to be able to control his sometimes explosive words.

Xueyue snorted, stomped her feet and decided to go away from her two servants.

Not far from him, Shen Qingtian walked over with a folding fan in his hand. Seeing his sister who could already walk around in the palace environment, his face looked bright. Shen Qingtian sped up his pace then greeted right as they faced off.

Xueyue scowled backwards in surprise. However, seeing who was coming, Xueyue's eyeballs sparkled brightly.

"Sat Qingtian!!" hearing Xueyue's unusual call, Qingtian furrowed her baffled brows. Because usually Xueyue would always call him the crown prince in a polite and reserved manner instead of calling him brother and his name. But just as Xueyue suddenly hugged her, and told her how much she missed her sister, the strange feeling vanished, replaced by her warm smile.

"How are you doing? Does it feel better?" whispered, soft.

"Ein!" Xueyue nodded enthusiastically, "I've always been very kind!"

"That's great." Qingtian gently patted the crown of his sister's head with an affectionate look. Recollecting that Xueyue had actually forgotten everything about her identity, but not with her and her mother. Maybe even the King's father. As if, Xueyue was just someone from an ordinary folk. So Xueyue only had unusual memories.

But as long as Xueyue remembered it, it was enough for her. Merely, why did Xueyue not remember her second brother Shen Wei? Why did Xueyue only know she was his brother? Forgetit. There was probably a reason why Xueyue did not remember Shen Wei. Both of them have never been close.

"You want to go for a walk together?"

Hearing Qingtian volunteering to accompany her, Xueyue's eyes flashed and she happily accepted. He screeched, "Good idea!"

Then the two walked in tandem with Xueyue who was fondling Qingtian's arm.

"An Nan, An Xi, you guys go back. I'll be in charge of dropping Xueyue off later."

"Good Crown Prince. We retreat." said An Nan, retreating.

"En." Qingtian nodded at a glance, before looking back at the gentle Xueyue and Xueyue replied no less gently.

"Where do you want to go? Let brother accompany you for a walk." Xueyue pretended to pose in a hard-thinking pose, muttering long before she let out a desperate sigh while shaking with a frustrated look on her face.

"There's no idea" he said, lethargic.

Qingtian chuckled softly, "We go first."

Xueyue remembered something about some of the 'Xueyue' memory fragments in this world that were missing. That the person closest to him in this palace other than his mother was his elder brother as well as the crown prince named Qingtian. It was clearly the same as he used to be in the modern world.

So even though in this world he was only close to Qingtian, he was helped by some memories of the two that still existed and made himself no longer awkward.

Qingtian wanted to ask about how the accident happened. But after seeing Xueyue, it felt like she was in doubt. Is it true that he should ask or better not ask.

If there was no problem, Xueyue couldn't possibly have intended to kill herself, right?

He had to investigate the matter as soon as possible and find the meeting point of Xueyue's matter that had brought him into depression. Do not let him know what problems have happened to his real sister. Otherwise, whoever it was, he would have killed her even if it was his own family.

"Sister Tian, I'm sorry. I'll probably forget a few things about you. I..really forgot." Xueyue said, pretending to forget and trying hard to think.

Qingtian smiled gently, he said, "What makes you sad? It was just an accident. One day you will remember it."

Xueyue immediately chimed in, "But if I never recall it..."

Qingtian did not despair, and again said, "That's enough for me because you still remember who I am for you. If you forget some memories of us in the past, it doesn't matter. Sometimes, something to forget, forget it. Don't take it back." He took a pause to take a breath, "his grace, the pain you may have felt in the past, you no longer feel. So, happy. Don't be too overwhelmed by memories of the past."

"Oh...." Xueyue also agreed with Qingtian's remark. He also did not want to know even though he was a little curious. But that memory is also needed to be able to adapt to the environment in the palace in the future.

When they were busy talking, it did not feel like they had gone out of the palace and headed to the supermarket. Xueyue was a little afraid that she would be recognized on the street by some of the people she had played with. Although in the past he often smeared his face with a little dust and mud in order to cover who he really was, but if their eyes were very observant, then he would still be discovered.

Xueyue remembered about her matchmaking with Wen Tong. He squealed suddenly and made Qingtian turn his head looking at him confusedly full of question marks.

"Sister, is Wen Tong the son of the Wen official a chopping hand? Why did he submit a marriage proposal to the King to marry me?"

Qingtian frowned at Xueyue's unexpected question. Seeing how Qingtian was reacting, it seemed that Qingtian did not know about this matchmaking. But how could An Nan and An Xi know the news? Whereas Shen Qingtian didn't know about it? If An Nan and An Xi knew about it, wouldn't they have to hear it after the news had spread first?

It's freaky.

"Who said that you were in a match with a man? You are a man. How can you marry a man too? Has the King's father gone mad? Don't be silly."

"But the news?" Xueyue still wanted to know the truth.

"If Wen Tong really wants to marry you, then before the wedding happens I will kill him first!" Qingtian suddenly passed leaving Xueyue filled with anger. If her brother just didn't know the secret, then An Nan and An Xi....

Uh! I don't know. Inner Xueyue, feeling a little dizzy.

It was very quick for Qingtian to forget about the matter he had just received. But even so, he still very clearly remembered everything. He just wanted to forget about it for a while until he managed to make his sister have some fun during this one day.

He did not want his time with Xueyue to end just because of his explosive emotions.

During the time at the supermarket, Qingtian let Xueyue go around and ran to and fro while watching her. A smile rang on his lips, his handsome face attracting the attention of countless single women along the way. But seeing how the suit was worn by Qingtian, they did not dare to approach him recklessly.

Although Qingtian only knew that his younger brother was a man, but his regret never made him think of treating Xueyue so harshly. Somehow, he did not want to treat Xueyue the same as how he treated Shen Wei. Both are her younger brothers.

Or maybe... This was what made Shen Wei never get close to Xueyue? He doesn't know. Surprisingly, whenever he wanted to treat Shen Wei the same as Xueyue, it just looked awkward and embarrassing.

"Sister! Looky. Vaaahh...." Xueyue rarely took a walk to the supermarket in the modern world. Moreover, even though he had once walked to the supermarket, but the atmosphere was very different from the atmosphere in this world. I don't know why the atmosphere in this world makes him happy and new-looking. So even though the goods or food in this world seems ordinary, it looks extraordinary to him.

Qingtian walked over to see what his sister saw. Xueyue's brightly glowing eyes made her smile warmly. She did not know what was of interest to her sister about the jade sold in front of her sister. To him it looked ordinary and it was cheap. But his sister was so very enjoying that it made him inevitably interested as well.

"Which one you like, take."

"really?" Qingtian nodded and said 'En'. "Then I won't be sad." Xueyue took out a few interesting jade hangers in her eyes. Letting Qingtian pay for it and he went to the next stall.

Xueyue enjoys street vendors along the way. For him, enjoying a snack even though it was able to make him full could not quench his thirst. Eating as much as it was, Xueyue would always taste other dishes and not feel full. Qingtian was a little surprised. When did his brother become a food lover? She was only afraid that one day her sister would gain weight.

"Xueyue, enough. Don't be too much. What if your body turns fat?"

Xueyue giggled, "I won't be able to get fat!" he said exclaiming cheerfully.

.

Nightfall, the gentle Qingtian turned into a ruthless Qingtian. Behind him, there were four bodyguards who were always with him. Qingtian looked at someone before him with a look of condescending eyes.

"What makes you think that the King will accept your proposal? Is your brain crazy? Huh uh?!" Qingtian stared at the violent Wen Tong who had already battered in his face.

Initially, Wen Tong did not know who Qingtian was who had suddenly come and beat him up. But he did not expect that the one who came to see him was the crown prince himself. He knew he was wrong for having liked his youngest brother Prince Shen Xue. Yep. Prince Shen Xue. Everyone knew Shen Xueyue by the name of Shen Xue as a prince. Only the royal family could name Xueyue by her full name. The common people knew him by the name of Shen Xue. That was why Wen Zhu, Wen Tong, and some ordinary officials knew him as Shen Xue. And when Xueyue introduced herself as Xueyue while disguised as a commoner, they were unsuspecting.

"I love her! What harm?!"

Qingtian was inflamed, his eyes narrowed with a dangerous aura. Pressing Wen Tong's chin, Qingtian gave an implied warning. And that made Wen Tong shudder in horror unconsciously.

"You are not allowed to like any of my royal families, commoners. Wake up! You're just dreaming. If you still wish that you could marry her, I alone would make you and your family die horribly."

"Ughhh!" Wen Tong bellowed as Qingtian pushed him very hard against the wall before he actually left. The four Qingtian guards were still watching Wen Tong's movements. After being completely convinced that Wen Tong would not dare to resist, they disappeared following Qingtian's disappearance.

"DEVIL!" Wen Tong cursed out in anger, before he coughed up blood violently from his internal injuries that had become increasingly severe.
