Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

Chapter 112: Relationship Improvement

Seeing that Qiao Shinian kept her brows lowered, Mu Qingchen felt a little frustrated, so he let her go.

"You are afraid of me. You are always afraid of me. You are afraid of everyone. You want to use my power to gain greater opportunities for you and Wen Jiu, but if you are always so timid, how can you gain my trust? Qiao Shinian, you are too timid. This won't work."

Qiao Shinian didn't say anything. She was afraid of this capital city, a city where everyone could easily crush her to death. Everyone she met when she went out was either rich or noble.

She wanted to please Mu Qingchen, but she was always afraid of him. As long as he frowned, she felt that she should kneel down and admit her mistake.

She also hated herself for being like this, hated herself for being timid.

When she first came here, she was reckless, but now she is more cautious. She feels that she is really a failed time traveler. She is not a penniless person who came here through time travel. Compared with the heroine who has to rely on herself after time travel, she is simply a naive person who enters the dungeon and has someone to protect her all the way.

If this happens and things get messed up, her life will be a joke. It would be better for her to become a useful pawn and die together with the enemy.

Qiao Shinian reached out and pulled Mu Qingchen's sleeve, her voice low, muffled and aggrieved with tears in her eyes: "The only person I can trust is Wen Jiu. I am different from you. I don't understand power and conspiracy. If I am wrong, I will kneel down and admit my mistake. This is the only way I know to save my life. For the rest, Wen Jiu will usually save the situation.

However, I came to see you privately and did not anticipate Princess Ping'an's arrival. I relaxed for a moment and said something I shouldn't have said. I saw that you were angry and I was afraid that you would kill me.

So, I don't know what to do. Mu Qingchen, I'm really afraid of you, I'm really afraid of powerful people, you're all big shots, it's as easy to kill me as it is to kill an ant, I'm really afraid.

I always remind myself to be careful, cautious and not speak carelessly, but sometimes I relax and habitually say things that I shouldn't say.

I remember everything Wen Jiu taught me, but sometimes I forget because of nervousness, so..."

Qiao Shinian didn't say the rest of the words because she was choking up. She just pulled Mu Qingchen's sleeve like a coquettish girl.

Mu Qingchen turned to look at Mo Yang. Mo Yang touched his nose and strode away. His back looked as if he would be killed if he didn't leave.

Seeing the person in front of him with her head down and the sound of tears falling on the floor, Mu Qingchen hesitated and reached out to pat her on the back.

Qiao Shinian wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and looked up at Mu Qingchen with a trace of collapse and despair: "I'm sorry, I was still excited just now, I didn't mean to call your name... I'm... sorry, I didn't mean it, I... didn't mean to disrespect or offend you."

"It's okay, you can call me whatever you want. This is the privilege I give you." Mu Qingchen took Qiao Shinian's hand that was pinching the corner of his sleeve, took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears very gently.

"Don't be afraid. You can trust me. As long as you don't do anything to betray me, I won't hurt you in the slightest." His voice was gentle, as if he was coaxing a child. "In the future, I will teach you. I will make you understand the rules, the interests involved, and make you no longer afraid because you can't see clearly."

"Really? You want to teach me?" Qiao Shinian couldn't believe it. She widened her eyes and let the last tears fall.

"Really? I'm not lying to you." Mu Qingchen smiled slightly, "I finally coaxed you into submission. Look, you're almost crying like a kitten."

"No, I didn't put on any rouge, so my makeup wouldn't be smudged." Qiao Shinian pouted, but still turned her head to avoid Mu Qingchen's slightly doting gaze: "I promise, I won't do anything to let you down. If I really have to do it, I will tell you in advance so that you can be prepared. This way it won't be considered a betrayal, and you still have to continue teaching me."

She admitted that she was shameful at this moment. She really couldn't help crying because of her emotions. At the same time, she got the result she wanted most. Her relationship with Mu Qingchen became closer. Now she should be among his people, right?

She still believed in Mu Qingchen's promise. It would be great if he could teach her.

In this way, she can understand the rules of this country. These rules are often the same. They can be used in Zhou State and also in Chuwen State.

"Qiao Shinian, don't retreat, move forward!"

"Well, this doesn't count." Mu Qingchen nodded and let go of Qiao Shinian.

Qiao Shinian stared at Mu Qingchen timidly and called out tentatively: "Mu...Qing...Chen."

"Well, I'm here."

Qiao Shinian couldn't help laughing. The conversation from the intelligent calling system appeared in her mind at an inopportune moment, and it was extremely similar to the current situation.

"Mu Qingchen."

"Ok?"

"Shall we go out for a walk? Just like we planned before." Qiao Shinian reached out to wipe her tears again, but Mu Qingchen held her hand and placed the handkerchief in her palm.

Looking at Mu Qingchen's handkerchief, Qiao Shinian picked it up and observed it carefully: "Do you mind if I wash it before returning it to you? The auspicious clouds embroidered on this handkerchief look very delicate. I can't afford such a good embroiderer. I think this handkerchief can be used again after washing it."

Mu Qingchen couldn't help but turned his head and held his forehead: "Wipe it quickly, if others see it later, they will think I bullied you, you don't have to return the handkerchief."

"That won't work. This is your handkerchief. I think someone who knows you well will definitely recognize it. Our place isn't very safe either. What if someone takes it and makes a big fuss about it?

So, I'll borrow your water to wash my face. I'll clean your towel in a few seconds, and you can find someone to hang it up."

"Okay. Let's go. I'll take you to wash first. Then after you wash my handkerchief, we'll go out." Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian who was coaxed so easily. He felt that she was childish and left quickly.

But she cried so sadly and aggrievedly just now that he was a little at a loss for a moment. He had never coaxed such a grown-up person in his life. He had seen Yu'an cry before, and at that time she was still being coaxed in that man's arms. The man ignored his screams and just coaxed the crying child in his arms.

Since then, he seems to have a cold heart.

Seeing her crying, he just felt that she was extremely scared and wronged, and almost wanted to hug her and comfort her softly.

He almost did something wrong, but luckily he managed to coax her into submission.

He was curious about what the place she had been to was like that made her curious and fearful of everything here and had the same attitude towards everyone. Although she tried her best to hide it, the emotions and actions that she inadvertently revealed made him a little curious about her.

In other words, he would rather be alone with her and didn't even want to see Wen Jiu, the ferocious little fox.

When he was with her, he always felt at ease and no longer felt lonely. He had a hunch that she must be a very interesting person. Perhaps she knew as much knowledge as he did, or perhaps she knew more than he did.

No, she knew more about the world than he did. Even if a dragon turned over on the ground, she could give him an explanation that even though he couldn't understand it, from her expression he knew it was true.

Perhaps he had noticed her uniqueness long before, so he was so patient and gentle with her. He didn't want to scare her, and like Wen Jiu, he hid all his sharp claws in front of her, just to make her trust him and get close to him.

Is the feeling he has towards her now what the rumors say... like...?
