In the early morning, Ming Xi woke up from her sleep and saw countless bright sunshine like diamonds streaming in from the window. She smiled sweetly.
She chose a pure white dress and her long, silky hair, as elegant and pure as a princess. After dressing up, she came to the living room and saw the king playing chess with her grandfather.
He was still wearing a black gown, but his long, slightly curly hair was tied up and rolled into a wild posture. He held a wine glass in one hand and a chess piece in the other, playing chess with Xia Shihao slowly.
"Haha, I finally beat you in a game." Xia Shihao smiled happily, and the joy of turning a long defeat into a victory made his face glow red, "Although I know you deliberately let me down, I am still very happy, haha..."
"Haha." The king smiled softly, revealing his white teeth, as bright as diamonds.
Ming Xi paused on the stairs and stared at him blankly. His smile was rare, yet so beguiling, with a warmth that could melt even icebergs, which deeply touched her heart.
"Xi'er!" Xia Feng's gentle voice suddenly came from behind. Ming Xi couldn't help but shudder. She turned around and saw Xia Feng's handsome face.
"Come downstairs for breakfast." Xia Feng had a faint smile on his face, elegant and kind. He always had an innate elegance and an unstoppable noble temperament.
Today's summer wind seems to be a little different. Ming Xi lowered her eyes and felt a little strange. What's the difference?
The five-meter-long European-style dining table was filled with a variety of rich and delicious breakfasts. Everyone was talking, laughing, and eating breakfast together.
Late last night, Xia Zihan had already called Mo Liuli and Gu Xiyan to report that they were safe. He said that the injured Minglang had been found and they were planning to come back in the next two days so that everyone did not have to worry.
Everyone is in a relaxed mood, so the atmosphere this morning is very good. Everyone is smiling and in high spirits. Even the usually cold and cold king has a faint smile on his face.
He sat opposite Ming Xi and raised his eyes to look at her. Ming Xi lowered her eyes shyly, not daring to look at him.
Both of them were thinking about the passionate kiss last night, one was infatuated, the other was shy, each had their own concerns.
"King." Leng Qin put a piece of frozen seafood porridge in front of the king. The king started to eat. Everyone was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
"The king's constitution is relatively hot and he doesn't like to eat hot food. Especially now that the weather is so hot, his food must be frozen before he can eat it." Leng Qin sat down next to the king and explained with a smile.
"Do you want to turn down the air conditioner temperature?" Mo Liuli asked with concern.
"No need." The king raised his eyes and smiled lightly.
"The king has considered you. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the temperature if it's too low. Haha." Leng Qin compensated.
"Since you are afraid of the heat, you should wear less clothes. In today's weather, everyone is wearing thin short-sleeved shirts. Why are you always wearing a black gown?" Gu Xiyan was puzzled.
"I'm used to it." The king continued to eat breakfast.
Ming Xi looked at him, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes. Could it be because of that dragon tattoo? That ferocious dragon tattoo wrapped around his whole body, and it would be visible as long as he wore short sleeves. Did he not want to be seen?
"No wonder Miss Leng said that your living habits are different from others, and it is difficult to adapt to living with everyone. It turns out that is the case. I finally understand now." Gu Xiyan suddenly realized.
"If you feel hot, we can turn down the air conditioning temperature. It's okay. I see you're sweating on your forehead. It must be very hot." Mo Liuli looked at the king with concern.
Leng Qin waved his hand, and a servant immediately brought a frozen wet towel from the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. Leng Qin took a towel and wiped the sweat from the king's forehead. It was really difficult for the king. He had never been in such a hot city before.
In the summer, the temperature in the castle in the dark night never exceeds sixteen degrees.
The summer in Haicheng is extremely hot, sometimes as high as thirty-seven or eight degrees, and the indoor temperature is also twenty-eight degrees. Wearing thin shorts, you may not feel the heat, but the toxins in the king's body make his blood temperature extremely high. As long as it is slightly
If it gets hotter, he will feel uncomfortable.
"No need." The king raised his eyes again and glanced at Mo Liuli. He accidentally touched Ming Xi's complicated gaze. Thinking of her misunderstanding last night, he suddenly raised his hand and took the wet towel in Leng Qin's hand to wipe his sweat.
Leng Qin was startled for a moment, then she caught his pointed gaze, understood what he meant, and began to eat breakfast silently.
All this was seen by Xia Feng. This respected king definitely had some ulterior secrets. For the past two days, he didn't even go out of his house, or even went to the garden. He stayed at home all day long, and at night
I just went for a walk in the garden, and I didn’t look like a normal person at all.
"I've finished eating, please use it." The king put down the tableware and Leng Qin was about to wipe his mouth with a napkin, but was stopped by his indifferent eyes. He picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of his lips before getting up and leaving.
Ming Xi was overjoyed that the king could refuse Leng Qin's service in front of everyone, which proved that there was nothing between him and Leng Qin.
"I've eaten too. Please use it, I'm going to the company." Xia Feng stood up.
"Wait a minute, I have to go to the company too, let's go together." Gu Xiyan took the last sip of milk.
Leng Qin waved his hand, and four men in black came over and followed them. Xia Feng and Gu Xiyan were stunned. Leng Qin explained: "Before Mr. Xia and Mr. Ming come back, your access must be protected by someone.
.”
"Oh, okay." Gu Xiyan nodded.
"No need, just protect others. I don't need anyone else to protect me." Xia Feng smiled slightly and walked out.
The two men in black looked at the king inquiringly. The king was going up the stairs without looking back or slowing down his steps.
Leng Qin understood what he meant, turned his eyes coldly and said to Xia Feng's back: "Young Master Feng, since you don't need our protection, if something happens to you, don't blame us for not protecting you enough."
"Nothing will happen to me." Xia Feng confidently dropped these words and drove away directly.
Everyone looked at each other, and Xia Shihao frowned. You are obliged to protect you, but you still have such an attitude. It is really ungraceful. Mo Liuli apologized to Leng Qin and said, "I'm very sorry. I will correct Ah Feng's attitude."
Leng Qin wanted to get angry, but thinking of the king's warning, she didn't dare to show her anger. She could only smile at Mo Liuli and turned around to leave.
After breakfast, Mo Liuli accompanied Ming Xi to the piano room to practice the piano. The servant pushed Xia Shihao to the study room, where the king read.
"You, like the descendants of our Xia family, all like reading." Xia Shihao looked at him with a smile.
"Haha." The king smiled slightly.
"I have a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War. Please help me get it from the bookcase."
"Okay." Your Majesty stood up, with a beguiling curve on his lips. Grandpa is really cunning. That Sun Tzu Art of War is a rare original edition. He kept it in the drawer of his desk when I was four years old. He didn't even think about it.
He just deliberately tricked me to see if I knew about it.
