Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 828: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 17

It was unknown how long this scene lasted. A quiet atmosphere permeated between the two of them, as if time had stood still, until those gentle words broke the tranquility.

"Okay, the hair is almost dry. Your Majesty should rest." Qi Zhi said softly, with some gentleness and concern in his voice.

As he spoke, he skillfully folded the wooden towel in his hand and gently placed it on the cabinet beside him.

After doing all this, he raised his eyes to look at Shen Xi who was still sitting unmoved beside the bed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

He repeated it patiently, his voice still gentle, but with an unquestionable firmness hidden in it.

Shen Xi seemed to have all his strength drained away. He nodded dejectedly and muttered softly, "How come my hair dries so quickly?" His tone was full of reluctance, like a child who hadn't played enough.

Qi Zhi's hearing has always been good, and he heard clearly what Shen Xi just said, but he just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile. He didn't say anything, but just watched Shen Xi lie down obediently.

Then, he reached out and gently pulled Shen Xi's quilt inward. His movements were gentle and careful, ensuring that the cold wind would not blow in, allowing Shen Xi to sleep peacefully in warmth.

After doing all this, Qi Zhi stood up and turned to leave. But just as he took a step, Shen Xi suddenly stretched out his hand from the warm quilt and grabbed his sleeve, with a bit of urgency.

"Uncle, can I come tonight..." Shen Xi just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his words, Qi Zhi choked him back: "No."

Shen Xi's eyes widened, his heart filled with grievance and surprise, and he couldn't help thinking: 'How could you predict what I would say?'

Qi Zhi has been with Shen Xi for so many years and knows his personality very well.

As long as Shen Xi said the first half of the sentence, he could roughly guess what the second half meant.

"why?"

Shen Xi asked unwillingly, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

"Your Majesty is older now." Qi Zhi's answer was concise and clear, and his expression was calm, as if this was an indisputable reason.

"It's always the same excuse. Uncle Emperor may not get tired of saying it, but I'm tired of hearing it. We are both men and we sleep in the same bed. What's the problem?" Shen Xi couldn't help but raise his voice, his words full of dissatisfaction and confusion.

But what he didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, the room fell into a strange silence.

Qi Zhi just stood quietly beside the bed, neither leaving nor making any movements, not even saying a word. He just looked at Shen Xi quietly, and there seemed to be some emotions in his eyes that Shen Xi could not understand.

Shen Xi saw that the hard approach didn't work, so he had no choice but to use the soft approach. He quietly raised his hand on the quilt, gently grasped Qi Zhi's hand, and shook it gently, looking like a coquettish kitten, with a hint of coquettishness and weakness.

"Uncle, you see, my leg injury got worse when I was taking a shower today. You know I'm not a very good sleeper.

What if I accidentally roll off the bed and my leg injury gets worse? " Shen Xi said as he looked at Qi Zhi pitifully, his eyes full of expectation and pleading.

"Just this once. I don't often live in the Emperor's uncle's mansion."

Qi Zhi sighed and finally agreed. In fact, he would never tell Shen Xi. He regretted it the moment he said no.

Qi Zhi sighed and finally agreed. In fact, he would never tell Shen Xi that he regretted it the moment he said "no".

"This won't happen again." Qi Zhi said softly, his voice was a little helpless, but also full of doting.

When Shen Xi heard this, his eyes lit up instantly and a bright smile spread across his face, like a little fox who had stolen something fishy.

"Okay, the emperor's uncle is the best!" Shen Xi said excitedly, moving to the side of the bed to make room for Qi Zhi. Qi Zhi looked at him and shook his head helplessly, but still sat down on the side of the bed obediently and slowly lay down.

The room fell silent again, with only the sound of the two people breathing softly.

When he woke up the next day, there was no one around Shen Xi and the sun was already high in the sky.

Normally he slept alone in the palace, and he had to get up early the next day to study and handle government affairs, so he had never slept so well.

He had just stretched when Qi Zhi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a set of clothes.

"Your Majesty has finally woken up. If he doesn't wake up soon, it will be time for dinner."

Although it was a teasing for him getting up late, the gentleness in his tone made the words sound particularly like flirting.

"Where is it?"

Qi Zhi walked up to him and handed the clothes in his hand to him. He had gotten up early and bought this piece of clothes in person at the cloth shop in the west of the city.

Moreover, that cloth shop was actually quite far from his mansion. The reason he chose to go there was because all the fabrics for the clothes in the palace were provided by that shop. If he went to other places to customize clothes, Qi Zhi was afraid that Shen Xi would not be used to them.
