“That General was looking at me, weirdly…” Sky complained as he ate pastry in Rain’s room while Rain was laying on the bed staring at Sky in curiosity

“Weird, How weird? Which General?” Rain asked as he tried to take a piece of pastry but Sly slapped his hand away, “Mine!”

“I bought them!” Rain complained, Sky smiled and replied, “With my money!”

“Well, I don’t have income!” Rain pouts but Sky ignored and then remembered something, “Did you apply for marrying Prince?”

“Huh? Prince? Marriage? What are you talking about?” Rain sat straight and looks at Sky with full concentration

“Well, Prince Phayu is looking for consort! That’s what Shan and I are working on. People are sending applications to get married to him..” Sky replies

Rain glared at Sky and spoke, “No! Never! That guy is bastard! He never loved female leads and even believed evil sister tried to poison the Royal family! They were married for fucking two years but that guy didn’t even look at female lead’s face even once! Not even on the day of their marriage…”

Sky stared at pissed off Rain and nodded in understanding before he spoke, “Phayu seems to be a sensible guy…”

“I don’t think so! After the sister, I hated his character the most!” Rain complained

“Alright, alright! Calm down… don’t get offended but the female lead doesn’t sound as innocent as she seems. I mean common, Nalin didn’t wish her to come with her to meet her friends and yet she followed her..”

“Um, maybe she wanted to be close to her sister?” Rain tried to reason with Sky who rolled his eyes and continued, “Really? If she ends up offending the daughter of a minister, why was she expecting her sister to protect her? Won’t it lead everyone in their family in trouble?”

“That… that…” Rain became quiet

“Leave it, I’m going home. If anyone catches me here, it will be hard to explain why I am here..” Sky said as he stood up.

“Or you can lie that the priest said, " My yang energy somehow balances your Yin?”

“And has our family got us engaged? I don’t want to babysit you my whole life, Rain. I’m sorry..” Sky said sassily as he fixed his clothes while Rain pouted.

“Meanie…. By the way, are you free tomorrow? Help me buy a shop! I’m going to start a business!” Rain asked Sky who looks at him in confusion

“What business? I suggest you learn how to write with a brush and charcoal first or else it will be hard for you to explain how you become dumb suddenly..” Sky reminded Rain who pouts.

Since Sky used to do calligraphy, Sky was somehow able to blend in here. Also he started to study and learn about this era. Rain grins and then pulls out a blueprint

“What is this?” Sky asked in surprise as he opened it, “A fountain pen?”

“Yes! Then I don’t have to use a brush to write!” Rain said excitedly

“But isn’t it wrong?  It's someone else investion..” Sky was interrupted by Rain who said in annoyed note, “Sky! We are in a novel, we didn’t time travel to the past! So we aren’t doing anything wrong!”

“I guess you are right… I will help you make blue prints of other necessary easy items!” Sky said excitedly

“Hehe, I need your help with that…. Capital, give me lots of capital..” Rain said shamelessly, Sky sighs before hitting Rain’s head, “In our years of friendship, I have spent more on you than myself and yet even now you are shamelessly asking for more!”
