"the prince of the book has all gathered together, are you sure you'll read the whole book?"

"of course not, I only read a few pages related to the jade pendant alone, other than that miss it. after all, if we read the entire contents of this book is not necessarily related to what we are looking for"

"that's really the prince, fortunately we came quite early today, so we can have a lot of time to read it here"

"that's right, well, without wasting any time, let's get this over with"

"yes of course"

they continued reading and searching for information about the jade pendant page by page, they searched and searched but still did not get results.it was difficult to get the results, indeed, but they still struggle to continue reading and browsing every page of the book.

did not feel they have been reading for 2 hours but have not got the results as well, they had a break a while and then resumed reading.the day began already afternoon and soon will be night, soon, but they still haven't found the answer.

Xiao Yan began to feel heavy drowsiness, he accidentally fell asleep while reading a book.See Xiao Yan who was asleep because of the fatigue of reading the book then the prince let her.time has shown seven o'clock at night, the time has been shown, there are only 3 books left to read.

two books have been completed, but the results are still nil. now only 1 book is left, the book under the hands of Xiao Yan. The prince took it with great care. after getting the book then he opened and read it. finally he found a clue about the jade pendant. then he was very happy with his discovery. he read and searched every page with great precision.

after getting the necessary information, the prince also reassembled his book, while Xiao Yan was still fast asleep there, the prince could not bear to wake him up. after finishing compiling the prince's book back to his seat then he thought of waking Xiao Yan up but seeing his exhausted face he instead let him. then the prince just sat quietly in the place while reading some other books there.

when reading the book, the prince also felt sleepy at last he also fell asleep at that place.time showed Already at 10 pm, Xiao Yan who had enough sleep was awakened from his beautiful dreams. he also glanced at his desk, saw the table was clean and the books had been arranged.he also felt guilty to the prince, he did not think he could fall asleep before.then he saw the prince, he saw the prince, it turned out that the prince was also asleep then Xiao Yan let him fall asleep while the sleeping prince Xiao looked for the perpus guard to ask what time it was.

when he looked out the door it was already night, he immediately asked the perpus guard in front of him.

"sorry sir, if you know what time it is?"

"miss, it's 10pm now and soon we'll close the perpus.please finish reading immediately"

"well then, thank you"

"same as miss"

unexpectedly it turned out that the day was so late, this time he would miss his promise to his cousin to celebrate the new year together.

"prince, oh prince can you hear me" Xiao Yan said softly

"Hem turned out that the prince did not hear.well I try again.maybe my voice must be stronger in order to be heard by him"

"teng ring" a loud bell ringing sign of the time the library will be closed

"fell prince, come on, wake up the library will be closed soon, we could be locked in here"

apparently the sound of the bell and his call failed to wake the prince.he was forced to use another way.how this time is to pat hard the table where the prince slept.

"all right I'll do, this time don't blame me prince, who told you hard to wake up"

"brukkk.

"sorry prince I surprised you, I thought you'd be hard woken up if you didn't, so I was forced to do that hope the prince understood"

"it's okay, thanks for waking me up. I was too carried away by a dream until it was hard to wake up, luckily you woke me up earlier"

"*thankfully, I thought the prince would be angry, but he wasn't"

"why be angry, what matters now is that we have to hurry home, and then your cousin is worried"

"he's right prince, I'd better be so*"

they rushed back home, but on the way to Xiao Yan's house, he saw a lot of people celebrating the new year's night, many people were selling and many food stalls and interesting knickknacks. Seeing Xiao Yan who was so enthusiastic, the prince invited him to go see. Xiao Yan, who was happy to be invited by the prince, then pulled the prince's hand to get there immediately.

seeing Xiao Yan who suddenly pulled his hand, making the prince feel something he was unable to say with words, he felt happy and happy when Xiao Yan withdrew his hand. but in the midst of the fun, there was a disturbance from the older cousins Xiao Yan who suddenly emerged from the food stall.

then they immediately approached Xiao Yan and the prince.See Xiao Yan who was still pulling the prince's hand, they could not bear to tease him.

"look at the two of them, so friendly that they don't realize that we've been waiting for them for so long" said Rong Ji

...Xiao Yan was still unaware that he was still pulling the prince's hand, but after being given the code by the prince he immediately released the prince's hand....

"what are you saying, you don't just talk if envy says it"

"Who is envious, besides you where ever why the clock has just returned" said Rong Ji

"this is your basis, the promise to celebrate the new year's night together, but in fact you even celebrate with the prince" said Rong Ji

"already, this is not his fault this is also my fault, I'm sorry for bringing Xiao Yan away for so long.what if we celebrate the new year's night together this time?" the prince

"Hem how yes, we are afraid to disturb this matching couple.you should celebrate it" said Rong Ji

"yes, you're the only ones celebrating.we've been here long enough and we plan on going home soon to rest, then you guys just move on" Ye Jing said

"you guys from now on always mocking me yes, just be careful if I go home later I will beat you both"

"hem before you beat us up, we would've locked the door and you wouldn't be able to get in"

"if you dare to lock the entrance, I will complain to Miss Wei, if you have locked me outside and you will definitely feel the consequences"

"don't fight anymore, we should celebrate together" said the prince

"no prince you and Xiao Yan alone, we have to go home now bye" said Rong Ji who left while pulling Ye Jing

"how is this, do you still want to be here Xiao Yan?

"of course the prince, ignore them both. I still want to enjoy the new year atmosphere here, rarely can play in a place like this"

"well then"

...walk to the food store...

"prince what if, we*to the food store in front there seems to be good food there"

"yes well, let's go there"

"wah it turns out that here there are selling satay, I like it very much with this. Prince you want not to, if you want I can pay you consider it as a sign of my apology for bothering you earlier"

"no need, you just order me to pay"

"no prince, you can't refuse this, so let me do it"

" boss order 2 servings yes"

"alright lady, please wait a moment" said the store boss*

Xiao took the money to pay, but he did not expect that if the money was not there or lost, he suspected that the money had been taken by his older cousin.Did not feel good about the prince, he also ventured to speak to the prince with the intention of borrowing money.

"*the prince can come closer for a moment, there's something I want to tell you"

...*nearest...

"what's going on Xiao Yan"

"prince, please bow a little"

...*prince was down*...

Xiao Yan whispered near the prince's ear then he said something.

"prince I'm sorry, actually I'm ashamed to say it but inevitably I have to tell you, if I have lost my money and now I want to borrow your money first. when I get home, I'll be back"

" it's okay, take this buy whatever you want.just assume I'm treating you this time"

"no prince, don't do it. You just think of it as a loan huh"

when Xiao Yan had gone to pay for his food, the prince's face suddenly turned red and slightly misbehaved as Xiao Yan suddenly whispered near his ear. he almost misbehaved when Xiao Yan borrowed his money earlier.he now felt a little comfortable when he was near Xiao Yan when they had not known him for so long. he felt that there was something unnatural about him because it had been a few years of being single and closed off from women.

soon after Xiao Yan, returning with his food, turned out that he was not only paying for food but he was also ordering some other food. the prince did not expect that it turned out that Xiao Yan liked to buy snacks like this. After that Xiao Yan invited the prince to go find a seat so that he could enjoy the food he had bought earlier.

precisely under the lush cherry trees they sit under it while enjoying food, not long after that comes the moment where fireworks are lit. Fireworks are lit as a sign of the beginning of the new year.

the sound of fireworks so lively, then balanced with the cheers of the spectators and also Xiao Yan, made the prince feel very happy with tonight. something that he had not felt for a long time now returned he felt.it felt like he wanted to hug Xiao Yan at this time, but he felt that the time was not right.
