What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 279 - 275: I Won’t Change

Qin Rong looked at Miss Tang who came out of the shadows, and couldn’t help but gloat: "Since Ah Xiao can still manage, we won’t disturb his rest, let’s go!"

Li Mu wanted to oppose, but didn’t know how to say it.

Did I just block my own way?

"Sister Qin is busy with something, go ahead, I’ll stay and take care of Ah Xiao." Tang Xiaobai said instead.

Qin Rong was surprised: "He needs your care?"

Tang Xiaobai smiled: "Ah Xiao just treated his wound, I’m afraid he’ll have a fever at night. I won’t feel at ease if I leave, so I might as well stay and watch." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Qin Rong curled her lips and said: "Second Miss really treats our Ah Xiao well."

Being spoken of by the sister of the little ancestor, Tang Xiaobai suddenly blushed and lowered her head awkwardly.

Li Mu frowned and glared at Qin Rong: "Are you not leaving yet?"

Qin Rong snorted lightly and swept away.

After everyone had left, Li Mu grasped her sleeve and carefully asked: "Are you not angry?"

She turned her face slightly, the blush on her face still not fading, her bright eyes glanced at him with a mix of embarrassment: "Angry about what?"

Li Mu felt both sweet and anxious: "Angry at me for lying to you..."

She burst into laughter.

"But you didn’t lie to me!" She laughed while she spoke, bending down to remove the mask he had worn to meet Li Shu.

Earlier he had sat on the couch meeting Li Shu, though his position was lower, his aura did not fall behind.

Now, he was sitting on the couch, looking up at her.

After removing the mask, his complexion was like snow, his eyes dark as ink, his thin lips seemed to have a layer of autumn frost on top, pale and fragile, his confused expression appeared more soft and compliant.

Tang Xiaobai squatted in front of him, lowered her gaze onto his chest.

Her hand unconsciously touched the wound lightly, softly saying: "You were already severely injured and in great pain, I knew whether you said it or not. You could have endured not to shout out, but you didn’t, just to make me feel sorry for you..."

Li Mu’s face heated up, he grasped her hand: "It doesn’t hurt that much."

"Pain or not, you’re injured, resting more is what’s most important." Tang Xiaobai said, pulling her hand out, and went to take off his coat.

He sat still, his eyes bright and deep, the tip of his ears turning red, with a look as if submissively ready for her to mistreat him. Watching this made Tang Xiaobai’s hands itch, and when she helped him lie down, she couldn’t resist pinching his left shoulder and muttering: "What’s there to be happy about..."

The curve at the corner of his lips grew more apparent, looking endearingly innocent, inviting one to take a bite.

Tang Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh: "Childish!"

His eyes froze with laughter, showing a bit of helplessness, gently pinching the corner of her clothes, lingering and stroking, softly asking: "Earlier outside, what were you watching from the side?"

Tang Xiaobai paused, only realizing what he meant about before the enemy attack, feeling a bit embarrassed: "You saw that..."

Li Mu "hmm-ed", asking: "Testing me?"

"No...just happened to be passing by..." Tang Xiaobai babbled a few words, then counterattacked, "Didn’t you say you’d ignore it? Why couldn’t you move when she called you brother?"

He chuckled softly.

Tang Xiaobai blushed, flustered and angry, trying to get up, only to find her clothes tightly held in his palm.

"Ah Jiao also called me brother." He said.

"Did she?" Tang Xiaobai thought about it, but couldn’t remember.

She always considered the little ancestor as her younger brother, how could she call him brother?

"Yes," he reaffirmed, "back in Turkic times."

Tang Xiaobai still couldn’t recall.

"When she called me brother, I remembered the way you called me."

Tang Xiaobai frowned: "Was I like that?"

"No—"

"Then is it her way you want me to mimic?"

Li Mu paused momentarily, shaking his head in a hurry: "No, I just—" unable to explain.

Is it really not?

He rejoiced in her care yet resented her for treating him as a child.

"That time...when you called me brother, my heart...was filled with joy." He said softly.

Tang Xiaobai remained silent for a long time, then said: "I wanted Mo Huan to advise you about this yesterday—"

"You now are in a high position, in the future you may rise even higher, there will be people scheming against you, catering to your preferences, sometimes even without your knowledge, your enemies might have already thought ahead for you;"

"Imitating someone you like is nothing, the most frightening thing is, forcibly creating someone you like, more perfect and as you wish compared to reality;"

Someone who resembles her in appearance doesn’t matter, someone who resembles her in both appearance and character isn’t problematic either, if it’s fake, it’s just fake, but someone who resembles her in appearance and has a personality carefully designed as per the little ancestor’s preferences is truly terrifying.

Tang Xiaobai held his fingers which were clutching her clothes, leaned down slightly and gazed at him.

"Ah Xiao Brother..." she called softly and tenderly, seeing the light in his eyes like fireworks scattering.

Indeed, as he said it would be, extremely joyous, even a bit dazed.

Tang Xiaobai sighed softly in her heart and gently said: "You like hearing it, I can call you that more often, but you should know, no matter how many times I call you brother, I’m not that person you wish for."

If what he truly wants is someone who sweetly calls him brother, who admires him and relies on him, then she is definitely not.

"What kind of person do I want?" Li Mu broke out in a cold sweat from her words, grabbing her fingertips instead, "What nonsense are you thinking?"

Her gaze froze slightly.

"Sister..." he suddenly called in a low voice, the tone carrying an inexplicable allure, "do you like Ah Xiao calling you this way?"

Dammit!

The slightly hoarse voice lowered penetrated her ears, electrifying Tang Xiaobai all over, her face gradually heating up, she struggled to distance herself.

Li Mu grabbed her collar, instead pulling her closer.

"If someone else called you that, would you like it in the same way?" His voice still tender, but his gaze became pressing.

Tang Xiaobai seriously thought about it.

At her age, there really aren’t many who call her sister.

"That Yu Family boy calls you sister, do you like it?" Li Mu thought of one for her.

Tang Xiaobai paused, finally realizing he meant Yu Kuang.

Yu Kuang is Gu Yuan and Gu Wan’s cousin, not even a direct cousin, her relationship with him is even more distant.

Although they interacted a few times, she quite liked the kid, but how can it compare to the little ancestor?

"Do you like it?" He persistently pursued, "when others call you that, is it the same liking as when I call you?"

"Of course not." Tang Xiaobai replied.

It wasn’t then, and it isn’t now.

In this lifetime, there won’t be another person who can make her surrender just with a single "sister".

"Neither do I," Li Mu cupped her face with both hands, saying earnestly, "when others call me brother, I think of you. When you call me brother, I think of you too!"

"Maybe I haven’t matured to the age where you feel I’m old enough or sensible, but I clearly know what I want—"

"Ah Jiao, don’t worry, I won’t change."
