Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 829: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 18

Qi Zhi put his clothes next to him and walked out the door.

Afraid that he would continue to stay in bed, I added this sentence after he left.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up. If you are late, the food you prepared will get cold."

In fact, even if Qi Zhi didn’t say that, Shen Xi would get up quickly.

He slept very soundly last night and now he was full of energy and full of vitality.

Hearing Qi Zhi's words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile, and he quickly stood up and began to put on his clothes.

After getting dressed, Shen Xi raised his hand and opened the door.

Just as he opened the door, something suddenly flashed through his mind - he was still pretending to have leg pain!

He almost forgot about it, and he was secretly alert in his heart. The next second, Shen Xi's body suddenly became weak and helpless, as if all his strength was drained away, and he rushed straight towards Qi Zhi.

"Uncle, my feet still hurt."

Seeing this, Qi Zhi's eyes flashed with helplessness, but it was quickly replaced by doting.

After spending some time together, he became more and more skilled in holding Shen Xi. Almost subconsciously, he picked up Shen Xi steadily and carried him sideways, striding towards the dining room.

"Then why didn't Your Majesty ask me to come in after I changed my clothes?" Qi Zhi lowered his head slightly, looking at Shen Xi in his arms, his eyes full of concern and inquiry.

Shen Xi blinked his eyes and said innocently, "I thought I could make it this short distance."

After hearing what Shen Xi said, Qi Zhi couldn't help but chuckle. The laughter was low and warm, and gently echoed in Shen Xi's ears.

"Your Majesty is showing off."

He shook his head slightly, the doting look in his eyes became more obvious, and he held Shen Xi's hand even tighter, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly slip out of his arms.

Soon, the two arrived at the dining room.

Qi Zhi carefully placed Shen Xi on the chair, his movements gentle as if he were treating a rare treasure. The table was already filled with exquisite dishes, steaming hot and fragrant.

Shen Xi looked at the table full of delicious food, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Just as he was about to reach out to grab the chopsticks, he seemed to suddenly remember something, paused, and looked at Qi Zhi pitifully: "Uncle, I'm afraid my hands are not stable enough to hold the chopsticks."

As he spoke, he shook his wrist, pretending to be weak.

Qi Zhi smiled helplessly and did not expose him. He just picked up the chopsticks silently and carefully picked up food for Shen Xi.

What he picked up were all Shen Xi's favorite dishes, and each dish was cut into small pieces to make it easier for Shen Xi to eat.

"Come, your majesty, try this."

Qi Zhi brought a piece of fresh fish to Shen Xi's mouth, his eyes full of concern.

Shen Xi was not polite either. He opened his mouth slightly and ate it in one bite, with a satisfied look on his face: "Uncle, you still understand me the best."

Although pretending to be weak and unable to pick up the food was a trick Shen Xi came up with on the spur of the moment, he really didn't expect that he would agree so easily.

When Qi Zhi noticed him, he quickly opened the task panel and checked his favorability.

'Did it rise to 78% last night? I haven't had time to check. It seems to have risen further.'

After finishing his meal, Qi Zhi planned to take his people back to the palace.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the mansion, there was a carriage waiting for them. Qi Zhi personally helped Shen Xi onto the carriage, and then he got in as well.

The carriage started slowly, and the interior was quiet except for the "gurgling" sound of the wheels rolling over the cobblestone road.

Shen Xi leaned on the soft car cushion, his eyes casually looking through the car window at the familiar yet unfamiliar streets outside.

Then he stared at the street outside the car window and said with a sigh: "I still can't go out for a walk."

There were only two people in the car, and Qi Zhi naturally understood that the little emperor in front of him deliberately said this to him.

But he still made a promise.

"After a few days, when your Majesty's feet are healed and he can walk on his own, we will go out and play."

"Really?" Shen Xi's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that. A gleam of surprise flashed in his originally dim eyes.

He seemed to be suddenly injected with energy. He sat up straight and held Qi Zhi's arm tightly with both hands.

Qi Zhi reached out and tapped him lightly on the forehead.

"When have I ever lied to Your Majesty?"

After returning to the palace, Shen Xi began his previous boring life again, but the good thing was that he could use his foot pain as an excuse to force Qi Zhi to stay with him.

Not only during the day, but also at night.

"I live in the wing room. If your Majesty is in danger, I will be able to sense it."

How could Shen Xi allow such a thing to happen? He had spent so much effort to keep Qi Zhi by his side, how could he let her leave like that and leave him alone in an empty room?

What's more, the favorability between the two has reached 78%. In Shen Xi's opinion, this is a good opportunity to take the relationship to the next level. How can he just watch Qi Zhi leave?

But Shen Xi didn't know that it was precisely this 78% favorability that made Qi Zhi realize that he had developed special feelings for Shen Xi.

This feeling came too suddenly, leaving Qi Zhi at a loss, and he even had the idea of ​​staying away from Shen Xi.

At first, Qi Zhi planned to leave Shen Xi and live back in his own house, but he was worried about Shen Xi being alone in the palace and worried that the palace servants would not take good care of him, so he stayed there. Unexpectedly, he forgot the time.

It was already late at night, and Shen Xi was not willing to miss this opportunity, so he kept persuading Qi Zhi to stay.

Qi Zhi hesitated for a moment and then accidentally agreed. Now that he had said it, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Seeing Qi Zhi giving in, Shen Xi became more and more demanding, and said pitifully: "But even if the emperor's uncle arrived in the first place, my feet would still fall to the ground. The emperor's uncle was obviously not like this yesterday. Yesterday, the emperor's uncle was afraid that I would fall to the ground, and he held me in his arms and protected me tightly..."

Shen Xi became more and more excited as he spoke, his face full of grievance, as if he was accusing Qi Zhi of being heartless today.

Before he finished speaking, Qi Zhi reached out his hand helplessly, gently covered Shen Xi's mouth, and said with a smile: "Alright, I'm scared of you."

Qi Zhi's palm was broad and warm, and when it touched Shen Xi's lips, Shen Xi calmed down instantly.

He blinked his big eyes and looked at Qi Zhi innocently, but there was a hint of triumphant cunning in his eyes.

Qi Zhi looked at Shen Xi's appearance, and felt even more helpless, but also faintly sweet. He secretly sighed that he could not do anything about this little emperor.

Qi Zhi's hand stayed on Shen Xi's lips. The warm touch made both of them startled slightly, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Shen Xi's eyes widened, his eyelashes trembling slightly, as if he was shocked by this sudden intimate action, but a secret joy welled up in his heart.

Qi Zhi also realized that his actions were a bit inappropriate, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face. He wanted to pull his hand back, but Shen Xi reached out and grabbed his wrist again.

"Uncle, you are not allowed to regret it."

Shen Xi held Qi Zhi tightly, his eyes full of stubbornness, fearing that he would change his mind in the next second.

Qi Zhi looked at Shen Xi holding his hand and smiled helplessly: "If you don't regret it, I will stay."

After hearing this, Shen Xi let go of his hand with satisfaction, and a bright smile bloomed on his face again.

This went on for several days in a row, and each time Qi Zhi first refused and then agreed.

Shen Xi even suspected that he said that just because he wanted to act coquettishly in front of her.

However, this relationship only lasted until the moment when Shen Xi's foot injury healed. The scars on Shen Xi's feet had already scabbed over, but in order to prevent him from noticing, Shen Xi would sometimes deliberately let Wangcai open the scar, making it look bloody.

It just looks very painful, but Wangcai gave him a pain blocker, so it doesn’t actually hurt at all, it just looks scary.

And the scar is not permanent, it will disappear naturally later.

On the day he was discovered, Qi Zhi had to leave the palace to deal with an urgent matter. Without Qi Zhi by his side, Shen Xi completely relaxed in the palace and stopped pretending to have a sore foot.

From early morning to dusk, Qi Zhi did not return to the palace until the evening. Shen Xi thought that he might be stuck and would not come back tonight. So, when he returned to his room, he did not limp as usual.

When Shen Xi walked to the door happily and was about to push it open, for some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

He turned around subconsciously and found Qi Zhi wearing black clothes, standing quietly at the door.

The moonlight was shining behind him. Against the light, Shen Xi couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only feel a strong sense of oppression. The surroundings were terribly quiet. Only the breeze blew gently, blowing the corners of Qi Zhi's clothes, making a rustling sound, which added a bit of tension and oppression to the originally quiet night.
