Qiang Quiyue felt a cold towel pressed upon his forehead . The little prince raised his hands and pulled the clothe down to his eyes . He felt his head ached , it is heavy and also throbs occasionally . Even his eyes felt hot and sleepy , Qiang Quiyue opened his little mouth then suddenly realized that his throat was soar . Its painful , he thought .

The little prince sobbed , he felt unbearable and weak . " Mama " he called out and reached his hand outward .

But as usual , no one held it . Qiang Quiyue couldn't help it anymore and cried . Tears flowed and was absorbed by the wet towel atop his face . Qiang Quiyue's hand weakly fell down in helplessness .

Qiang Quiyue groaned and was about to move again when he suddenly heard slow footsteps walking to his room's direction . Qiang Quiyue paused and didn't move , he immediately raised his weak hand and tucked himself in with the heavy quilt , he didn't even realized that his quilt had been replaced with a thick one . He just felt his body weak and thought that he was too weak so the quilt became heavy .

Mo Xun put down the bowl of porridge and glass of water and dragged a chair to sit beside the bed. Mo Xun properly tucked the quilt and chuckled. 

It seems that the little kid is already awake .

" You're highness , it's time to eat now . " Mo Xun whispered and patted the quilt .

Qiang Quiyue removed the fabric on his eyes and looked at the side . There he saw a handsome young man dressed in a eunuch robe . It is the first time he saw such a good looking eunuch, usually they smell so bad that he always avoided them , they also sound feminine and looked weak . Although he was wondering why do men look like that, it became his beauty standard since he can't see any man aside from the imperial guards and eunuchs . Occasionally , he would meet old court officials everytime they go to the court , Qiang Quiyue always thought that his Imperial Father and imperial brothers were the most handsome in the world .

Qiang Quiyue's eyes turned bright . " Handsome " He muttered in whispery. 

Mo Xun widened his eyes and looked at the cute boy staring at him with admiring eyes . Suddenly , Mo Xun felt that the little prince somehow resembled the mischievous Sean .

Mo Xun blinked and pointed at himself.  " Do you mean me? Your Highness? "

Qiang Quiyue nodded .

Mo Xun immediately showed a flattered expression . " Ahaha this small one is greatly humbled by your highness' compliments . "

He then stood up and helped Qiang Quiyue sat up and lean on the bed .

Mo Xun then lifted the bowl and started feeding the little prince . Qiang Quiyue then stiffly opened his mouth and looked at the Eunuch with curiousity .

The handsome man's face doesn't look angry and uncomfortable . Rather , Qiang Quiyue detected a hint of gentleness upon the man's relaxed and bent eyebrows and eyes . There's a little wrinkle beside his eyes hinting that his good mood and smile is genuine , his thin red lips are also slightly curved up and does not looked exaggerated and flattery . Qiang Quiyue subconsciously felt closer to the handsome man . He instinctively felt that the young man would never hit him like how the former servants do .

Qiang Quiyue then didn't feel as stiff as before . He would usually stay away from people and would subconsciously reject their presence because of their formal attitude .

But seeing the doting look upon the handsome man's face , Qiang Quiyue now regarded Mo Xun as a rare good person .

" How may i address you? " Qiang Quiyue asked in a hoarse milky voice .
