The only way to compensate was to enter a dormant state. After a while, Essence and Soul would be full again, but dormancy was the most dangerous time for them.
Xia Xinyan lowered her head and said again, "I'm sorry."
Lu Muqing surprisingly squinted his eyes and smiled slightly. Xia Xinyan felt a stir in her heart and couldn't help but swallow; this rose was truly beautiful.
Thus, Lu Muqing moved into Xia Xinyan's home.
To help him adapt better to modern life, Xia Xinyan first took him on a tour around various places. After returning home, she taught him how to use household appliances. Every time she finished teaching him something, Lu Muqing would instinctively kneel down. When Xia Xinyan glanced at him, he had no choice but to retract his action.
When teaching him how to use the water heater, Xia Xinyan specifically emphasized the usage of the various bottles and jars, handing him a few pieces of clothing that belonged to her ex-boyfriend that she hadn't thrown away. "It's not very convenient for you to always wear ancient clothes in modern times."
Lu Muqing immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you for the clothes, Your Highness."
After he finished showering and came out, Xia Xinyan was watching a Korean drama. Upon catching sight of him, a bag of chips slipped from her hand and scattered all over the floor. With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his perfect inverted triangle figure and the faint outline of his chest muscles left her stunned by his attractiveness.
Lu Muqing immediately knelt down again and said, "This subordinate is doomed."
Realizing she had lost her composure, Xia Xinyan quickly cleared her throat. "It’s not your fault; come watch TV."
So, Lu Muqing knelt on the carpet beside her, seriously watching the television.
Xia Xinyan patted the sofa next to her. "You can sit here and watch; there's no one else around."
"Here." Then she felt the sofa beside her sink slightly, quiet, quiet... Xia Xinyan felt her heart racing; the faint floral scent emanating from him stirred her emotions.
The atmosphere was eerily unsettling. Xia Xinyan decided to discuss the plot with him: "This girl is really pretty, and the male lead is quite handsome!"
"Not as good as the princess."
"..." Wasn't that Song Hyekyo?
"This dish looks delicious."
"Not as good as the princess's cooking."
"..." Is he on auto-reply?
That day, when Xia Xinyan returned from work, she found all the dirty laundry had been cleaned, including her pink bra and panties. She didn't think she had taught him how to use the washing machine, so he must have hand-washed them!
Xia Xinyan's face immediately flushed with embarrassment, and she couldn't bring herself to look at him during dinner.
Lu Muqing noticed her flushed cheeks and frowned, asking, "Princess, are you feeling unwell? Your complexion seems off."
In a moment of excitement, Xia Xinyan quickly placed a piece of fish on his plate: "Food should not be discussed while eating."
"Here."
After more than a month of being together, Xia Xinyan became increasingly dependent on Lu Muqing. Sometimes, she even felt that having Lu Muqing around made her feel at home. Whenever she worked late, she would call him to pick her up. If anything ran out at home, Lu Muqing would take the initiative to go to the supermarket to buy it, including her sanitary pads and facial cleanser.
Recently, the professor had been pressing harder, and Xia Xinyan once again subtly inquired about the empty coffin. This time, he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Xia Xinyan cleared her throat and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I can change the subject for my report."
"No, I want to talk about it..." He paused for a moment but suddenly choked up. "The princess's empty coffin is because her body... was never found..."
A princess of a nation fell into the river and drowned; no wonder...
