Xiao Ai opened his door and began walking down the candle-lit hallway in search of the 5th Prince.

Turning the corner, he observed five of his courtesans attempting to carry the tall body of the 5th prince into one of the chambers for who knows what purpose. When Xiao Ai saw the face of the 5th Prince, he stopped moving toward them.

Xiao Ai's cheeks began to flush red, and his heart began to beat rapidly. It was the first genuine emotion he had experienced this entire time.

He had fallen in love with the 5th Prince at first sight. He didn't care if it was his own emotions or the originals. He only knew that he needed to possess that man for himself.

But he still kept the originals personality in mind.

"Excuse me, what do you think you're doing," Xiao Ai raised his voice as he approached the five courtesans.

The 5th Prince was dumped to the ground as they all stopped moving, evoking a grunt from the man. With pallid faces, the five courtesans bowed and cried out "Madam!"

Hearing the man's groan of pain, Xiao Ai frowned. For the time being, Xiao Ai ignored him and kept staring at the courtesans while saying firmly, "I believe I asked what you were doing."

All of the courtesans looked at each other hesitantly till one of the courtesans finally chose to speak, saying, "Madam... a nobleman paid for us to take care of this man."

"You do realize we have a policy of not taking in drugged clients, yes?" Xiao Ai sneered at the courtesan.

The courtesan clenched her teeth and made the decision to get down on her knees. She dropped down to the floor and pleaded with Madam, "Yes, yes Madam's correct. It was this servant who got greedy." It was then the rest of the courtesans followed her lead.

Then, five courtesans were on their knees in front of him pleading with him not to throw them out. Xiao Ai sighed, closed his eyes, and raised his palm to signal for them to rise.
He then approached the man lying on the ground and Xiao Ai tiredly ordered, "20 lashes for each of you, stand up and go receive your punishment. I'll take care of him."

The courtesans hastily rose to their feet, bowed to the Madam, and expressed gratitude for his benevolence before departing to receive their punishments.

The heavy man was gathered up by Xiao Ai and carried on his back. Xiao Ai's ears flushed bright red when he felt the man's rough, heated breathing against them. Xiao Ai continued to carry the man back to his room after taking a long breath to calm himself.

Upon returning to his chamber, Xiao Ai threw the 5th Prince on his bed and searched his cabinets for the drug's antidote.

As much as he desired to possess this man, he preferred to do it only after they were both sober and both consented.

He soon found the antidote and brought it over to the man who kept heavily breathing and couldn't stay still.

The man held his teeth tightly together, despite Xiao Ai's attempts to pry open his mouth with his fingers. In order to give the man the antidote, Xiao Ai made the decision to feed him mouth to mouth.

Xiao Ai positioned his lips that held the antidote to the man's lips and used his tongue to pry open the man's clenched teeth. The man's teeth loosened and the liquid flowed into the man's mouth.

As the man coughed and choked on the antidote, Xiao Ai released the man's lips and observed the man slowly open his clouded gray eyes.

The man clumsily stretched out and grasped Xiao Ai's pinky while squinting his eyes in an effort to make out the blur in front of him. " Who are you?" he questioned in a raspy voice.

Xiao Ai calmed the man by cupping his cheek and stroking his hand down his neck. "Shh sleep now, I'll see you in the morning, my Dear," Xiao Ai said as he watched the man reluctantly closing his eyes and releasing his pinky.

After giving the man a deep adoring stare while he slept, Xiao Ai made the decision to get ready for bed so he could snuggle the man into his arms. He changed out of his crimson silk robe for another one and untied his red ribbon-tied hair that now draped behind his back.

Xiao Ai crawled into the bed with the man and took the man into his arms. Xiao Ai giggled while burying his face in the man's hair. He was utterly elated. Even if he died suddenly in this man's arms, he believed he would still remain this happy.

Xiao Ai slowly closed his eyes and drifted off into a peaceful slumber with warmth within his arms.

Soon, ebony eyes fluttered open to the sound of chirping birds and the sunlight pouring in through the drapes.

To gaze at the man who was lying next to him, Xiao Ai shifted his head to the side. Xiao Ai sat up, bent over to kiss the man on the cheek, and then got out of bed to change out of his red gown into another.

As soon as he sensed the other go, the man on the bed opened his clouded eyes and moved his hands to his cheeks to caress the heat that was still present from the kiss. His ears, which were covered by black hair, burned red.

The man with cloudy eyes quickly closed his eyes and appeared to be asleep as soon as he heard footsteps approaching the bed. The man's face stiffened slightly as he felt fingers poking his cheek and felt warm breath suddenly come near to his face.

Nearing his ears, the man heard soft laughter and the person saying, "Dear, I know you're awake."

The man's cloudy eyes opened once more as he turned to face the source of the voice, as his face burned, embarrassed at being caught pretending to be asleep.

In response to the man's embarrassment, Xiao Ai smiled and asked, "Now, would you tell me your name, Dear?"
