“I woke up a month ago.”
“The next time I appeared in front of the public was at tonight’s unique party.”
After hearing this, Bai Lixin felt something was off, and after some thought, he asked, “You said you had an accident two years ago, and woke up just a month ago. But it seems like you’ve never stopped appearing in public eye for these two years.”
“I shouldn’t have told you these things.” The last glimmer of light in Dijia’s eyes dimmed, replaced by a silent calmness. “Do you know about stand-ins?”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Dijia: “In certain situations, members of the royal family will use stand-ins to attend certain events.”
Bai Lixin: “Do you have a stand-in too?”
Dijia posed another question: “Do you know about the royal family crisis?”
S419M: [Lord Host, I found out. The royal family in the Fairness District faced a crisis of disintegration twenty years ago. This area is revered for its fairness, but at that time, a scandal occurred within the royal family. The nobles of the royal family secretly gained many privileges and favors due to their status and position, which deeply disgusted the people living in the Fairness District. So, twenty years ago, there was a demonstration to question and overthrow the royal family on Star Network.]
[But it was at that time that a prince was born.]
[He was a very cute baby, who everyone couldn’t help but love. In order to salvage their image, the royal family published the prince’s image on the Star Network.]
[That baby became the savior of the royal family. After seeing this adorable prince, the people thought they could give the royal family another chance, and the massive demonstration was thus resolved. For the next decade or so, people have been following the prince’s movements, watching as he grew from a baby to a cute toddler, from a toddler to a sunny and straightforward teenager, and from a young prince to a handsome and upright adult.]
[This prince seems to have been born to save the royal family. Unlike other controversial and decadent royal families, this prince has been in the public eye since childhood, he has no secrets or misconduct, and has become a perfect leader figure. The people expect the crown prince they have chosen for themselves to ascend to the throne in the near future.]
[This prince is none other than the one in front of you, Prince Dijia.[
[If such a special prince suddenly suffers a serious injury, it is indeed possible for the royal family to cover up the fact of the accident in order to maintain stability, using a stand-in to replace the prince in public affairs.]
Bai Lixin’s eyes were uncontrollably drawn to the silver-colored metal torso. The gleaming metal extended downward from the young man’s abdomen, disappearing into his waistband.
Because he had been in a coma for two years, even though his physical age had grown to 19, his mental age remained temporarily lower than his physical age.
The “accident” he mentioned didn’t seem as simple as he described it. Judging from the metal body Dijia displayed in front of him, the metallic body was likely not only the upper half; the lower limbs might have also undergone modifications.
Because he represented the dignity of the royal family, even if only a head and conscious mind remained, the royal family tried everything to keep him alive.
Since that was the case, why choose a consort?
If he were to marry a consort, wouldn’t that expose the truth?
“It seems you’ve heard about the royal scandal twenty years ago.” Seeing Bai Lixin’s silence, Dijia buttoned up his clothes again, covering up those conspicuous metal. “Now you understand why I can’t respond to you, right?”
He glanced at the dark sky outside. “I’ll leave when it’s bright tomorrow. Sorry for bothering you today, I’ll just rest on the sofa for the night.”
As he got up to walk to the sofa, Dijia heard a faint murmur behind him.
The voice was too soft, and he couldn’t hear it clearly, so he turned his head in confusion and looked at Bai Lixin, “What did you just say?”
Bai Lixin’s eyes were fixed on a certain place. “Is everything functioning properly?”
Dijia: “Huh?”
Bai Lixin: “Ahem, sexual function.”
Dijia’s ears suddenly turned red, and his thick eyelashes trembled in the air. The thick bangs swayed, covering his shy and flustered eyes. “Uh, it should be, there shouldn’t be any problem; that part wasn’t… wasn’t injured.”
Bai Lixin glanced at the young man in front of him. “Should be?”
Dijia, whose neck was already red, lowered his head even more, “I haven’t… practiced, but it should be.”
“Oh?” A low, soft laugh echoed in the small room, instantly dispelling the previous tension and casting an ambiguous atmosphere over the entire space. “Then why not give it a try?”
Dijia’s hands hidden in his cloak trembled slightly
‘Try?’
‘How to try?’
The innocent puppy-like prince’s head was almost buried in his neck; he felt that his cheeks were burning, and the uncontrollable heat seemed to burn his entire face.
He even suspected that the metal connected to his torso had malfunctioned, affecting his senses.
He looked down at the smooth floor, and could still hear the soft footsteps around him.
A pair of bare feet appeared in his line of sight.
The soles of the feet were smooth, the toes rounded and full, like five water grapes arranged side by side.
Then came two slender and straight legs.
The young prince suddenly looked up, but before he could see the face of the person in front of him, he was pushed backward by a strong force, and his body, due to inertia, sank straight into the soft sofa behind him.
The body like a water snake quickly climbed up.
Dijia’s pupils dilated, and what appeared before his eyes were a pair of dazzling eyes that that could make people fall deeply into them.
Those eyes seemed to be able to speak, and when they blinked, it seemed as if they were going to suck him in.
The buttons that had just been fastened was unfastened again, warm hands slid into the shirt and slowly touched the cold metal.
The young man’s face was close. Dijia lay stiffly on the sofa, clearly feeling the warm breath of the other person’s fluctuations between each inhale and exhale.
“You…” His Royal Highness’s Adam’s apple rolled up and down, and when he squeezed out a word from between his teeth, he found that his voice had become unusually hoarse, “Don’t you feel repulsed?”
The young man narrowed his eyes, once again leaning close to the prince’s cheek. His gentle breath no longer just disturbed the neck but began to tease his cheek. Nose touching nose, lips almost touching lips, he whispered, “Repulsed by what?”
Prince Dijia’s body stiffened even more.
Their bodies made contact.
As the young man spoke, he felt the other party’s lips graze his own.
Different from his own cold lips, the young man’s lips were soft. Even though it was just for a moment, he still felt it.
The prince’s Adam’s apple rolled again, “My body has become like this, and you still admire me like this?”
The young man chuckled lightly, “I like you as a person, not your body. Even if you turned into a wolf, I would still like you.”
‘What a joke, it’s not like you haven’t changed before.’
‘I’ve experienced storms and waves, don’t underestimate me.’
To be honest, compared to Dijia’s other forms, the mechanical body is just so normal!
Dijia: “…”
‘It seems he really loves me to death.’
‘It’s too crazy, he’s starting to talk nonsense.’
‘But I seem to like him a lot too, otherwise, why do I feel like my heart is beating so fast even though I don’t have a heart?
S419M: [Storm and Waves…]
Bai Lixin said disdainfully, [Back off, don’t disturb us, disappear quickly and cut off the signal.]
S419M: [Wuuu, okay, Lord Host.]
After a brief interruption by the system, the atmosphere returned to ambiguity.
Bai Lixin: “Do you know what will happen next?”
Dijia’s cheeks were slightly red, “I think… I know.
“Let me ask you, then, are you repulsed?” Bai Lixin hovered over the man’s chest, looking down at the prince beneath him, his thick golden hair cascaded down, pooling at the collar of Dijia’s clothes.
Dijia stuttered, though bashful, he spoke the truth, “No, I’m not.”
“Very obedient.” Bai Lixin couldn’t help but reach out and caress the shy cheeks of Dijia, who was caught between youth and adulthood, “Now, open your mouth, okay?”
As if possessed, Dijia obediently parted his lips slightly.
Soft lips met, and delicate kisses fell one by one…
He was like a teacher guiding a fledgling bird in flight, trying to lead Dijia.
But the self taught Dijia soon took the initiative.
The overhead light flickered twice, then with a “snap,” it went out.
The whole room plunged into darkness in an instant, and only the sound of lips intertwining could be heard.
———————————–
In the live broadcast room.
[The long lost black screen!]
[Slowly showing the Auntie smile… hehehe, as I said, virtuous women are afraid of persistent men, and no big boss can escape God Xin’s hands.]
[“No matter what you become, I still like you,” kidding, what hasn’t God Xin seen?]
[That’s right, after all, our God Xin Shen is already a mature and veteran player who has already experienced many copies and successfully climbed over 700 floors.]
[This copy had me so confused. Finally, the long-awaited sweetness. I’m so happy. I declare, tonight I’m going to write a story after a long time !]
[Ahem, brother, tell me the truth, are all those little stories circulating on the market written by you?]
[Yes, what’s the matter, do you have any objections?]
[No! I just want to say, hurry up, Mom, the child is about to starve!]
——————————-
When Dijia woke up, the young man beside him was still sound asleep.
He lay quietly beside him, his whole body imbued with his scent and traces.
Seeing the mottled marks on the young man’s body, the prince’s face reddened, and he carefully pulled the blanket over the young man.
His gaze swept across the room, slowly falling on the messy clothes scattered on the nearby sofa and carpet.
Clothes were strewn about, creating a mess on the floor.
Dijia couldn’t help but sink into memories. It all started on the sofa, then unknowingly moved to the carpet, near the window, on the table… Every corner in this small house bore their traces.
His cheeks burned hotly, and the prince gently sat up and wiped his face.
‘Too crazy’
Just then, the mechanical part of his body trembled, followed by a continuous trembling in his chest.
The tremors stimulated the prince’s nerves, causing him to frown slightly, a hint of pain showing between his eyebrows.
He silently pounded his chest, then glanced at the still sleeping young man, before getting up to quietly search for his clothes.
Once dressed, he returned to the bedside, lightly kissing the young man’s forehead and whispering, “Wait for me, I will come back to marry you, my princess.”
