Only then did I understand… the blind one wasn’t Mo Ran… it was me.
My face suddenly turned red, and that kid… I took off my shoe and threw it at him! “Damn it! You little brat, won’t let me have chest muscles, huh?! Understand?!” The shoe made contact with his face. I quickly picked up my shoe, put it on, and fled! Only Mo Ran was left lying on the ground, stunned – whatever, he won’t die; running away is the best strategy!
That night, I couldn’t sleep at all. What if that kid knows I’m a girl? If he tells the emperor, wouldn’t that be a serious crime of deceiving the monarch? What if I have to pay a fine?!
Miraculously, I wasn’t late in the morning. I ran to Shang’s palace before he even got up. Severely sleep-deprived, I ran over without putting on proper clothes, and it was so cold! I immediately climbed into a bed and burrowed under the covers.
But who would have thought this was actually Shang’s bed! “Han, you’re in the wrong bed,” Shang’s voice was icy cold, yet oddly shy. “Huh?!” I screamed and quickly propped myself up, seeing Shang’s charming face – it really made me want to… devour him in one bite.
A palace maid entered with a water basin, and we both turned to look. Seeing us in bed, with me looking disheveled and my chest binding clearly visible as a male, it was hard not to misunderstand!
“Ah!!! This servant deserves to die!!!” The maid exclaimed, turning and running away in shock, dropping the water basin. I screamed even louder, grabbed the blanket, and fled outside in a panic, leaving Shang frustrated on the bed, thinking about how to cover himself.
I ran wildly, wrapped in the blanket like a rice ball—no, I’m a beautiful woman! I ran with my eyes closed, not considering who might be around. My head hurt as I crashed into someone’s embrace.
