1790: What Is There To Hide

What Is There To Hide

Long Yin did not say anything for a long time. It took him a while before saying, "It was a natural reflex for me to save you."2

Hexin was taken aback. "Why?"

Long Yin turned back to look at her as a smile twinkled in his eyes. "When I saw the arrow shot toward you, I didn't even think twice before running toward you." He paused. "I didn't want anything to happen to you."

Hexin's heart thumped wildly as she stared at him in a daze.

Long Yin smiled and rubbed her head. "Alright. Stop thinking so much about it. We should go back and get you into some dry clothes."

"Alright." Hexin shook off the messy thoughts in her head as she followed him back to camp.

Hexin and Yuan You shared a tent and by the time she returned, her luggage was already placed inside.

Yuan You was stunned to see her return in Long Yin's robe. She pointed at Hexin woodenly and could not say a word.

When she saw Hexin go into the tent, Yuan You followed her inside.

"Cousin Hexin, why did you come back in Crown Prince Long's robe?"

Hexin darted her a look and took off Long Yin's robe. "My dress was wet."

Yuan You was further shocked to see Hexin's wet dress sticking close to her body.

"What did you do with Crown Prince Long to get your dress all wet like this?"

"Can't you see that my hair is all wet as well? I fell into the water," Hexin replied with slight exasperation. "Go on out first. I'd like to change into some dry clothes."

"Alright." Yuan You wanted to ask how she fell into the water, but had no choice and had to leave when she saw Hexin about to get changed.

She had just walked out of the tent when she saw Long Yin coming over with a basin of water.

When Yuan You saw him, she was reminded of her arrow and suddenly felt guilty. She was about to turn away when he stopped her.

"Can I trouble you to take this hot water to Hexin?"

Yuan You had no choice but to turn back and take the basin from him.

A question crossed her mind and she could not help asking, "Crown Prince Long, what were you doing with my cousin? How did she fall into the water?"

Long Yin raised an eyebrow. "What did she tell you?"

Yuan You shrugged. "I didn't get the chance to ask her." She paused and whispered, "Are you planning to marry my cousin?"

Long Yin looked at her with slight surprise. "I can't believe you found out about it."

Yuan You felt a little proud of herself. "Of course, I did."

Qi Heng could not help bursting into laughter as he watched the young girl walk into the tent.

"She must think that she's really smart."

Long Yin glanced at him. "She is pretty smart, which is why you're so tempted to tease her every time you see her."

Qi Heng was taken aback. "Did you misunderstand something?"

"What have I misunderstood?" Long Yin asked.

"I…" Qi Heng choked.

In the tent.

Yuan You placed the water on the ground and said to Hexin, who was changing, "Cousin Hexin, Crown Prince Long is really concerned over you. He even brought over this hot water personally."

Hexin paused in the middle of changing and looked at the water on the ground. She pressed her lips without saying anything.

Yuan You sat down at the side and looked at Hexin while leaning her cheek against her hand. She suddenly felt envious and said, "Cousin Hexin, you've got a really shapely body. If only I had a body like yours."

Hexin quickly covered herself with her hands when she heard this. "You should go out."

"What is there to hide when we're both girls?" Yuan You pouted. "Besides, aren't you wearing undergarments? I can't see a thing."

Hexin laughed in exasperation. "What else do you want to see? You have everything I have."

"It's different. Compared to you, mine is nothing. There is nothing to see on me," Yuan You said honestly.

Hexin's face blushed slightly when she heard this. She lowered her head to take a look and felt that she might have been a little too much.
