The Moon is Clear Tonight (Part 1)

Su Xiao was moving in with me.

When I heard that Su Xiao would move in with Second Brother, I changed my stance without even realising it.

I don't trust Su Xiao in my room, but I'm even more worried about my junior brothers.

The two of them are accident magnets. What do I do if they think that Su Xiao's pretty and can't resist the urge to go down on him? I don't want to see my straight brothers be bent! Even if Second Brother can resist the urge, given Fourth Brother's lively character, if he heartlessly sleeps with Su Xiao, how is he going to resist the urge?

'Not even I sleep with Su Xiao!!'

'Uh… Using myself as a standard somehow seems weird. I never thought about sleeping with Su Xiao. I'm worried that someone will give Su Xiao a fright. Yeah, that must be the reason.'

After I got rid of Liu Yuan and company, I tried to come up with reasons to convince Second Brother that it would be better if he didn't live with us. I was afraid of him blurting out my relationship with Divine Moon Sect, which was why I didn't dare to let Tang Ye leave the room.

And so, it took me an entire afternoon to explain it to him. Before I knew it, the sun was setting, thereby leaving a red sky in sight.

The Princess couldn't hold it in any longer after everyone left. Her legs were finally released, so she immediately got up and walked around to mobilise her limbs. As she stretched out, she frowned, "Your bed is too small. Given how tall you are, you should get Yiren to make you a bed."

I laughed, "A big bed would cause us to sleep too soundly, right? Hence, Boss does not allow us to sleep on big beds. Not only does it make us more prone to lazing in bed, but also makes us more susceptible to causing trouble."

Curious, the Princess asked, "What trouble could you cause?'

I touched my nose, "Asking girls to lie down."

The Princess went slightly red in the face. She frowned and bluntly remarked, "Pervert! You are not to say such things in my presence again in the future."

The Princess didn't refer to herself using the "I" reserved for royalty, which meant that she drops her status as a Princess when she's outside of the palace, I think. That's amazing self-awareness.

"Your Highness, I do not know when Su Xiao will come, so you need to be careful."

"I know."

The Princess was focused on performing her exercises and didn't look at me. She appeared to be angry, yet seemingly not interested in talking.

The Princess is actually very easy to get along with. It's just that she maintains formalities.

'Perhaps I angered her.'

I recalled the intimate interaction with her last night and the visual blessing from today.

'Indeed, I have been blessed with a fair bit… I'd say that they're all reasons for her to be angry.'

'If we don't clear this up, it's going to be a disaster sooner or later.'

"Your Highness, I have not cleared up yesterday's matter, yet."

After organising everything that happened last night in my mind, I recounted the events. This time, the Princess just silently listened. She didn't give me any emotional reactions.

"It is true that I spent quite the amount of time chasing that individual, except that I did not chase them until the sun came up as I claimed. The main reason for that was because you were on the bed while the effect of the drugs had yet to wear off. I was afraid that something would happen…"

Noticing her face turn subtly red, I quickly added, "I did not come back right away last night; instead, I went to the forest outside of the city and soaked in the small creek. I swear that every word I said is true."

The Princess finally seemed slightly interested, "You soaked in the creek for the entire night when it was that cold?"

"Uhm…" I scratched my head and embarrassingly replied, "You would know that I would be affected by the drug, as well, since you were affected by it. I felt my entire body burning up last night; therefore, I had no choice, but to find a cool place to rest. That was why I decided not to sleep in the office last night."

Princess Hongzhuang is big girl that's still wet behind the ears, and therefore didn't understand the details. Hence, she didn't realise I was fine despite being poisoned. Now that I just explained it to her, she couldn't help feeling ashamed and even somewhat remorseful, because she felt that she falsely accused me.

The Princess scanned me a few times, but I didn't know what she was thinking."

'This is his room; I was the one who came here on my own accord, yet caused him to have to soak in a creek in the mountain in the middle of winter. When he came in, I immediately hit him, s
