She Prince

Third person P. O. V

“You got to spare me for saving your life,” HenYu grunts under his breath carrying WanKe to the land.

Placing him on the dry ground at the bridge, he turns his head to a side allowing the water to drain from his mouth and nose. Turning his head back to the centre he stares at WanKe who has turned pale due to the cold water.

“No, no this should not be happening,” he panics moving his shivering hands close his nose to check his breathing “No.. No please,” he stutters taking hold of his hand he checks the pulse.

Biting his lower lip he wipes off the tears which flows down his cheeks uncontrollably, he slightly slaps WanKe thrice telling him to wake up. Getting onto his knees he clasps his trembling hands, placing his palm on his chest he pumps giving pressure but there is no movement of WanKe.

“Wake up, please,” he whispers within his heavy pants, sitting straight he leans over his body gripping the collar of his hanfu the parts the collar of the right lapel. His eyes widens in astonishment, looking straight he blinks his eyes once and looks down again at the material which is beneath the dress.

“This is impossible,” he utters to himself bending low he separates the collar wider his intention warning him to stop.

“No.. no.. it’s not the time,” scolding his own self he continues the process of chest compression but there is no movement of WanKe, joining the right lapel of the hanfu with the left covering his chest he sits up straight staring at Wanke’s face which is pale, “Don’t beat me for doing this,” stuffing his breath in the mouth he squeezes his eyes shut moving his head down to do Cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

“What..,” the sound of the weak voice in between coughs gets into his ears making him to open his eyes immediately, he stays in the position staring down at him his eyes widening in astonishment.

HenYu hisses when WanKe places his palm over his face pushing him away, turning to his left he coughs out the water.

Wanke turns to face HenYu immediately when the sound of his loud cry gets into his ears “Finally, you woke up,” hanging his lower lip out he pulls WanKe to a hug his red eyes widening.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“You will choke me to death now,” releasing himself from the tight grip he gets up adjusting the wet material sticking over his body.

“I was freaking out, I thought you are…,” HenYu stops and stands up beside him.

“Dead? I thought the same thing too,” he hits on Henyu’s shoulder “I’ll spare you for saving me,” he jumps on his shoulder placing his arm over it with a wide smile plastered on his face.

“Don’t you know swimming?,”

“No,”

“Why?,”

“I just didn’t have the time to learn and there was no one to teach me,”

“I’ll teach you,” HenYu mutters in s low voice keeping a step behind he faces WanKe with an unreadable expression

“Are you a…,” Moving his gaze down his chest he looks up at his face again “A…,” He hesitates to speak.

“A What?,”

“Nothing, nothing, Are you cold?,”

“Of course, Let’s head back quickly,”

Moving his mouth to an ‘O’ shape in response he begins to remove his coat to hand it over “Aren’t your clothes wet too,” WanKe asks pointing at his dress while are soaked, taking time to dry due to the climate.

“Why are you acting weird?,”

“Huh? Do I?,” He laughs awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

“Come let’s go,” WanKe walks forward and HenYu follows him , his mind captured in the thought of what he saw.

“No way, he cannot be a woman. How can he be a woman? He is not even close to it? There is no clue of feminism in his behaviour, but why does he cover his chest? Is that some kind of dress he wears inside? Is that why I felt it hard when he fell over me? How it’s possible? What kind of a weird thing he is wearing? Does he have some wound underneath?,”

“What are you mumbling?,” HenYu comes out if his thoughts when he hears WanKe, he faces him who is staring at him with furrowed eyebrows curiosity written all over his face.

“Was I?,” He asks puzzled of how WanKe has known that he has been thinking about something deeply.

“You’re mumbling under your breath thinking that you are speaking to your mind,” Wanke’s eyes glues on HenYu never missing any single movement of his ” Did you drop your brain in the water?”

“What?,” He blurts his mind still working on something else.

“You better find it quickly,” WanKe points his index finger in the air and bends low with creepiness “Before any animal eats it.”

The surrounding captures silence and the very next second the laughter of WanKe fills in the air. Hitting on Henyu’s arm playfully he walks away “I was just kidding,” he mocks between his laughter.

Feng Lei walks to and fro by the gate watching over the road waiting till WanKe arrives. Noticing WanKe going out after class with HenYu made him anxious to see her return, every passing minute made his head explode in thought of Wanke’s safety. He didn’t appreciate him going out as it’s dangerous because his enemies knows who he is but he decided not to follow them as it’s not appropriate to do so. Stopping in his tracks when the sound of the faraway footsteps gets into his ears he gets out of the gate peeping out by standing inside making sure that no one catches a glimpse of him, a spontaneous smile makes it’s way on his lips when his eyes finds them walking towards the academy.

Hurrying back in he runs to the classroom and walks back by the same path when they enter, pretending like he never knew them coming. He casually strolls away waiting till HenYu calls out.

“Brother Lei,” the side of Feng Lei’s lips turns to smug, turning around he walks towards their direction waving at them his eyes never leaving WanKe.

His smile drops as soon as he notices their condition his eyes scrolling up to down checking if he is fine. Feng Lei did not expect that the scene on that day would turn out to be a mess, he expected a reply with joy but never thought it would turn out to be emotional. He couldn’t hold back at that moment when WanKe fell on him and he still never regrets of doing it. Even though that he cannot have a normal relationship of feelings with him he decided to always stay by his side.

“What happened?,” He questions eyeing at HenYu knowing he will spill the beans.

HenYu faces WanKe who is watching around and thinks about what he told few minutes ago before entering the academy, gulping down his saliva he makes up his mind to let Feng Lei know as WanKe warned him not to tell anybody but he is sure that Feng Lei is not one of that ‘anybody’.

“Keke drowned,” he points at Wanke with his thumb finger his eyes fixed on Feng Lei.

“What? How?,” His voice comes out loud questioning anxiously.

“He…,” HenYu lets out a short shout when WanKe tramples his foot abruptly.

“No.. he didn’t drown,” he states chewing his inner cheek waiting till be removes his foot.

Passing HenYu a deathly glare WanKe walks away to get changed, watching him fade away Feng Lei faces HenYu again.

“What happened exactly?,” His tone forcing him to give an explanation.
