I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (3)
3. PANIC
Along the way, the flowers were full of fragrance, and the yard was deserted. It does not seem to be a permanent residence, and there were very few people in the yard.
Gu Xian was sitting on top, his black eyes were long and narrow, slightly shining like black gems. His fine sword eyebrows were like a brushstroke flying on his temple. His exquisite nose was tall, the lips were just right, and he wore a lavender robe without any other decorations. His long black hair was partly pulled up with a jade hairpin, and some broken hair naturally fell on his forehead.
Seeing her, Gu Xian was puzzled at first, and then asked, "This is the little girl?"
Yong Mei nodded, "Yes, Wang Ye. There should be nothing wrong with Miss Chu."
Gu Xian asked, "What's your name? Do you have a family in the capital?"
Chu Ran walked in and glanced at Gu Xian who was sitting above her. Her chaotic brain buzzed as she held breath unconsciously. After that, she kept her head down, her long eyelashes concealed the panic in her eyes, and she replied tremblingly, "My name is Chu Ran, and I have no family in the capital." After saying this, she clenched her hands slowly.
Gu Xian walked towards her. The sound of footsteps made her more and more frightened... The slender figure slowly shrouded her as he stopped in front of her. Gu Xian bent down slightly and then pinched her face.
Chu Ran almost couldn't contain her shocked expression. She can't help but start to tremble. She did not dare to move even if he pinched her face. She recognized this face, it was her nightmare.
Chu Ran's heart was pounding, almost forgetting to breathe, her head was blank, her body was already soft. Her waist was instantly encircled by one of his hand, and his other hand pinched her chin to force her to raise her head.
He stared at her with cold eyes.
After a long silence, Gu Xian said, "Then you will stay here."
She turned her head away and didn't say anything. She was so surprised that her tiny fist was gripped to death by her.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Gu Xian asked, "Why, you don't want to?"
Suddenly, she raised her head. Gu Xian saw her eyes. They were extremely dark, so dark that there was not a trace of light.
Was it an illusion? Gu Xian clearly saw hostility in those eyes. There was a strong hostility between her eyebrows.
Before he could think about it, the girl threw herself into his arms. She was wearing a blue dress that she had just changed into, and it exuded a faint fragrance. Gu Xian was a little surprised. He had never been hugged by a woman like this before. Like a little bird that had just escaped from the cage, and fluttered into his palm, making people helpless but to gently caress it's head with their fingertips.
Then came her voice filled with grievances which made people feel their heart ache for her.
"Gege..."
Gu Xian was caught off guard by her call.
The man was bright and peerless in the world. But at this time, his dark eyes contained a faint inquisition. When he looked at Chu Ran, his voice was as clear as the spring, and he asked with a voice so soft that only she could hear him: "Why is young miss calling Ben Wang brother?"
Gu Xian didn't wait for her answer, he looked at her a few times, and his gaze fell on her cold apricot eyes. He was slightly startled, and a light flashed in his eyes.
Chu Ran opened her eyes wide, raised her head and called out in her glutinous voice, "Gege!"
There was a chilling silence all around. Chu Ran glanced over, Gu Xian's guards and attendants were all there, and everyone looked shocked.
She raised her head to face Gu Xian, with moonlight reflected in her apricot eyes, and big teardrops rolled down her face suddenly .
These tears were not shed when she was alone in the vacant room for two years, she did not shed it when she drank the poisoned wine either, and not even when she was shot through her body by a sharp arrow into a sieve. But at this moment, she shed her tears when she faced him for the first time.
After all, she couldn't be without resentment.
She didn't want to hate him, but she couldn't forgive him either. Since fate has tied them together again, she will stay by his side and look at the right opportunity to strike first.
"Wang Ye is like a brother." She tried her best to calm down as she coughed violently because of her overwhelming emotions.
The beautiful and sick little girls are always harder to criticize. People couldn't bear to criticize at all. Yong Mei, who was next to her, was afraid that the prince would punish Chu Ran for her disrespect, so she couldn't help but show a worried look on her face.
Gu Xian looked at her for a moment, his dark eyelashes drooping slightly. He suddenly sighed softly, "The young miss must be hungry right?"
"Ah? Oh." Looking at his face close at hand, Chu Ran was lost in thought for a moment.
When she looked up, he saw her staring at him blankly. Gu Xian tilted his head slightly and gently squeezed her face with his slender fingers. He sighed, "Too skinny."
"Will have to nurture." He added after a pause.
Only then did they start to realize that they were too close, Chu Ran hadn't spoken yet and Gu Xian had let go of her naturally, no longer holding her.

Běn Wáng - 本王. translates to 'This King'. A pronoun used to refer to oneself in third person. Commonly used by the royals.
Gēgē - 哥哥, means brother.
T/L: As many of you prefer pinyin, I have decided to use pinyin where it fits, as I figured too much of pinyin can ruin the sentence as well.
Also, I have a lot of free time so, I decided to post two chapters per day. If I can, I will post more. ^^
