The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 28. A Desire That Has Never Been Accorded

Xiao Mingyui sat awkwardly, she actually hated this awkward state. Although from the outside he looks calm and relaxed, but inside he is nervous half to death. How not? In front of him sat a bare-chested prince and stared at him continuously!

"What about the wound on your back?" xiao Mingyui asked to break the silence.

Xiao Jiwang raised his left eyebrow at a glance, then replied with an indifferent look on his face. "It's fine."

Xiao Mingyui nodded slowly, after which he did not ask anything more. Silence shrouded them again, until Xiao Jiwang finally stood up and walked up to his bed and lay down. The man was lying on his stomach because the wound ointment on his back was not completely dry.

Xiao Mingyui noticed Xiao Jiwang, then suddenly Xiao Jiwang looked at him from above the bed. "Tomorrow if your legs have improved we will return to the Capital."

Xiao Mingyui nodded small. "I also have a lot of things to do. I'll try to get better soon."

Xiao Jiwang who was about to close his eyes immediately paused his intention to ask, "Your sentence is as if you are someone who is very busy."

Xiao Mingyui chuckled slightly, then replied, "Your majesty, I am indeed very busy every day, you are the one who does not know that. My busy life is a pleasure to try new things, I want to do whatever makes me curious."

Xiao Jiwang chose to close his eyes as he continued to respond to Xioa Mingyui. "Then so until now you have no desire that is not granted, so?"

Xiao Mingyui shook her head again. "No, it's not that. I have two categories for the things I want to do. Official activities or activities contain a good reputation that makes me curious, and activities that are purely from my own little heart. Until now, the only thing that has been granted is the first category."

Xiao Jiwang was still closed. "What stupid thing do you want from the heart?"

Xiao Mingyui thought for a moment, then replied, "I want to wander around the Capital Market carelessly and have fun like any other noble lady."

Xiao Jiwang opened his eyes again, this time his brows were tangled in confusion. "You've never been around the Capital Market?"

Xiao Mingyui once again shook his head. "No, it's not like that. I once toured the Capital Market, but the goal was not to have fun, but to carry out the mission of the late Xiao Wangye. When I was free, my parents forbade me to go to the Capital Market freely without Xiao Xiangqing. While Xiao Xiangqing since childhood has been trained and educated as the heir to the title of my late father, so his schedule has always been very busy. The only place I could visit freely and alone was the Palace, but .. honestly I didn't really like the Palace very much. I prefer a market full of crowds."

Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly, exactly like a wry smile. "And therefore do not be born as a noble who has the blood of the Royal family."

Xiao Mingyui let out a thin sigh, then her lips returned with a smile. "I never hated this fate, I was even so grateful for having both parents so dignified. But, I'm just a little sad ...." At the end of the story, Xiao Mingyui's gaze appeared slightly softened. It seemed like the woman was enjoying the moment of telling a story with Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Jiwang who caught the change in expression at the end of Xiao Mingyui's sentence fell silent, he again felt something strange full of uneasiness in his heart. Unknowingly all his eyebrows were clinging to it because of that feeling.

Xiao Mingyui again stared perfectly at Xiao Jiwang. "How about your majesty? Does your majesty have something that has not yet been realized?"

Xiao Jiwang's eyes turned cold upon hearing Xiao Mingyui's question, then he began to stare up at the ceiling of the tent and said, "Treated like a human."

"Eh?" Xiao Mingyui was a little confused, but after that he understood. Xiao Mingyui's gaze turned into a hard to interpret gaze, there was sympathy, concern, and other rarely-appearing gazes.

Xiao Jiwang suddenly changed his lying position, now he was turning his back on Xiao Mingyui. "Forget over. I have no desire whatsoever. If there's anything, I can grant it myself."

Xiao Mingyui frowned, then replied, "You said something earlier."

Xiao Jiwang clucked in annoyance. "Ck, nothing."

"There!"

"No!"

"Why are you so stubborn? Who speaks to me!"

"But you lied, you said something before!"

"Ah, motherfucker! So annoying! I didn't say anything!"

Xiao Jiwang finally turned his head again with a look of annoyance, while Xiao Mingyui was still smiling faintly, making the man even more annoyed and turning his back on Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui slowly stood up, then painstakingly walked closer to Xiao Jiwang's bed. Without hesitation, Xiao Mingyui immediately sat on the edge of the man's mattress.

Xiao Jiwang turned his head back, the man glared ferociously as he was surprised Xiao Mingyui suddenly sat on the edge of his bed.

"You want to die? Who let you sit in my bed?!" xiao Jiwang said.

Xiao Mingyui nodded briefly. "I don't hesitate if you want to kill me, go ahead."

"Xiao Mingyui, we're not that close! Don't be so presumptuous!" Xiao Jiwang was getting upset.

Xiao Mingyui dissipated her smile, the woman was expressionless as usual. He did not offend in the slightest by Xiao Jiwang's words, he came here to sit here because he wanted to do something that could help the man.

"When we slept together on the rock with Xiangqing last night, I didn't know that you seemed to have a sleep disorder." Xiao Mingyui said that while leaning against Xiao Jiwang's bed board and staring at the man.

"It's none of your business." Xiao Jiwang replied.

Xiao Mingyui shook his head slowly, then smiled faintly again. "I'll help you reduce that distraction."

Xiao Jiwang kept silent, not answering. But it seemed that the man was secretly struggling in his heart to accept or reject Xiao Mingyui's offer.

Xiao Mingyui realized Xiao Jiwang's dilemma, and she finally got back to her feet and said, "Alright, you don't seem to be so bothered by it. I'm sorry for being too-"

"Sit's quiet there." Xiao Jiwang cut in, then turned his head back to stare at Xiao Mingyui sharply.

"Okay, your honor." Xiao Mingyui smiled deeper and deeper to see Xiao Jiwang finally manage to defeat his high ego.

Xiao Jiwang turned back to Xiao Mingyui. "Please give up your abilities if it doesn't interfere with your arm's medication. In return I will grant you the useless silly thing you wanted before."

Xiao Mingyui nodded briefly. "This treatment does not use supernatural powers like other major medical sciences. The way that I will use is the way that my late mother used to use when my late father had difficulty sleeping. But it looks like you have to ointment the wound on your back to dry first in order to be able to take a recumbent position."

Shortly after Xiao Mingyui said that, Xiao Jiwang quickly lay flat on his back on the bed, making Xiao Mingyui a little surprised.

"Your highness, isn't-"

"It's dry. So do it fast." Xiao Jiwang cut off indifferently, he was secretly curious as to what kind of treatment Xiao Mingyui would use. Because dozens of good-quality senior Palace tabins who tried to treat him always failed, this time the woman came and offered an offer like this, so ... there is no harm in Xiao Jiwang accepting it, right?

Xiao Mingyui let out a thin sigh, then nodded and began to take a sitting position closer to Xiao Jiwang.
