Bab 101: Contagion

That night, Prince Yi revisited the flower field in his dreams.

This time it was just him and Lei Xing on the scene, alone together in a sea of flowers. Like before, she jumped into his arms and they fell to the ground. She looked at him wide-eyed with shock at first, then she smiled brightly. He smiled back and brought a hand up and caressed her cheek. 

She blushed and looked down shyly, then glanced up at him with wide teary eyes. He could not help himself and rolled over and pinned her down on the soft grass, below him. She was startled and blinked a few times, he gently stroked her face then leaned down to kiss her lips. 

Just as their lips met, he was startled awake by a woman's scream. His eyes flew open and he sat up and looked around to find himself in his bedroom, with no Lei Xing present and one of his concubines naked on the floor by the bed. He glared angrily at her, and she flinched and looked down.
