Draft
_____Everyone knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had loved to cry ever since he was a child. He always had a lot of emotions. Although he restrained himself a little when he got older, he couldn't restrain himself this time and cried in front of Xia Chun.
Xia Chun was stunned when he saw his tears, looking a little at a loss, he said after a long time: "I didn't bully you, what are you crying for."
Zang Xu sniffed, he was originally trying to stop crying but then he heard this "I didn't bully you" and made him feel even more aggrieved. His tears fell quickly and his cheeks became wet in an instant. He was extremely wronged: "Yes, brother wouldn't bully me, he would only neglect me. It makes me more uncomfortable than being hit and scolded, doesn't brother know?"
Hearing his accusation, Xia Chun was even more at a loss. He put down the brush and wanted to reach out to touch him but stopped halfway, he said, "When did I neglect you?"
Zang Xu cried, "My brother smiles and talks a lot with his former subordinates when eating outside, but wouldn't say anything when with me. Isn't this neglecting me?"
He grabbed Xia Chun's hand and pressed it to his heart, whispering: "I just said I'm bothered, how could brother think that? Isn't my heart always for my brother? If brother doesn't believe me, I'll show you my heart. We're going to get married but you're still unhappy, my brother doesn't really want to be with me, right?"
Xia Chun looked at his falling teardrops and there was a mess in his heart, he pulled away from his hand.
Zang Xu clenched his hand tightly, he couldn't pull back at all, he could only sigh softly and say helplessly: "I didn't think that."
Zang Xu looked at him blankly. As he watched him, the tears in his eyes suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up a little and he asked in disbelief, "Really?"
Xia Chun lowered his head, after a long time he whispered: "If you were a girl, I would be happier."
Before he could finish, His Royal Highness began to cry again, "Brother doesn't like me because I'm a man?"
Xia Chun's headache was getting stronger, especially after feeling Zang Xu's tears fall on the back of his hand, his heart suddenly hurt and he had to say: "I don't dislike it."
He raised his head and looked at Zang Xu, "I only do what I will for myself, if I truly dislike it, I'll regret the marriage."
Zang Xu's eyes widened, his eyes were originally big and they only looked bigger when ripe with emotion. There were still tears in those eyes, with a blink, tears rolled down, the joy reflected in it gradually became clear and soon turned into great joy. He couldn't help it anymore, he stretched out his hand to pull Xia Chun, and hugged him tightly into his arms, he hugged him vigorously and said, "Does this mean that my brother likes me? Really? Is this true? I- I'm so happy. I've been worrying about my brother not wanting to marry me at all during this period of time. I was so uncomfortable, but I daren't ask and daren't listen to the answer after asking... brother... brother, I really like you!"
He was ecstatic, he didn't know what he was saying, he just knew that he wanted to hug Xia Chun and spin around a few times. After getting a little calmer, he cautiously dropped his head on Xia Chun's neck and whispered: "Brother, tell me again, please?"
Xia Chun's expression was extremely unnatural. They were moving too much just now, the servants and maids outside must've heard everything. Thinking of this, his face became even more unnatural. He stretched out his hand and pushed Zang Xu, saying with a serious face: "This is His Highness's quarters. Be serious."
