When Tang Shishi returned to her tent, she quietly touched the book in her bag. She wanted to take it out to read, but she gave up since Prince Jing was outside.

It was alright, wait until tomorrow when there was no one.

Tang Shishi cleaned up casually and was ready to go to bed. It was not a relaxing journey on the way here, and everyone was tired. Soon, the campsite was quiet.

Tang Shishi originally wanted to sleep, but after she lied down for a while, and she suddenly felt itchy. There were many mosquitoes and insects on the grassland. Even though Jing Wang's main tent was deliberately set up on the higher ground, it was impossible to avoid all the mosquitoes and insects.

Tang Shishi was stung by mosquitoes which caused her not able to sleep. She even suspected that there were insects on her bed. This kind of thing was not good. Tang Shishi could not bear it anymore when she was going to lose her sleep. She quietly got up and struggling to find mosquitoes by using a faint light.

While Tang Shishi was shaking her pillow, the tent door behind her was suddenly pull opened. Zhao Chengjun stood behind and looked at her coldly, "What are you doing?"

Tang Shishi was still holding a pillow in her hand. She quietly threw the pillow back to the bed and pointed to the bed innocently, "There are insects here."

Insects? Zhao Chengjun frowned. He thought about many situations, but he did not think of insects. In other words, before Tang Shishi, Zhao Chengjun did not realize that there were insects on the grass.

At the moment, Tang Shishi was wearing her inner clothes, her hair was loose, her shoulders and neck were slender. Tang Shishi gradually felt a little chilly, wrapped her arms around but could not help scratching her neck.

Zhao Chengjun was looking at her under the night light and seemed to have seen some red swellings on her neck. Zhao Chengjun did not know what to say. He turned around and walked outside. Tang Shishi thought Prince Jing was gone. She was about to relax, and then Zhao Chengjun returned with a lamp.

Previously it was dark, so Tang Shishi did not pay attention to her surroundings. Now with the lamp, Tang Shishi discovered that Zhao Chengjun was also wearing white inner clothes. Zhao Chengjun usually wore red and black prince attire or military attire. This is the first time Tang Shishi saw him in his casual appearance.

Unexpectedly, with Zhao Chengjun's mercilessness and unreasonable, he was much more amiable and approachable when he put on his bedclothes. He was actually very good-looking. Although he has been stationed in the frontier for many years, his face was still as fair as jade. When he stands together with a group of officers and soldiers, their appearances could not challenge his at all. At the moment, Zhao Chengjun changed into thin inner clothes. In fact, without his princely attire that looks threatening, his complexion was fair, his eyes were clear, his jaw was sharp, and he was somewhat a little handsome and harmless.

Once the light was clear, the other problems followed one after another. Tang Shishi found that she was not dressed properly and facing Prince Jing in a disheveled manner. Tang Shishi was embarrassed. Zhao Chengjun put the lamp on the table as if he did not care about what Tang Shishi was wearing, "Quickly move, or someone will come in a while if they didn't see lights in the main tent."

Tang Shishi was dazed for a moment. She realized that Zhao Chengjun was reminding her and was overwhelmed by his unexpected favor, "Yes. Thank you, Wangye."

It was so much more convenient with a lamp. Tang Shishi hurried to search in her bed, hoping to find the hidden insects. Her neck and arms were bitten by some kind of insects that it was so itchy that Tang Shishi could not help scratching her neck and arms. The more she scratched, the more inflamed she was. She has delicate skin, so it looked like she had put on a blush all over and it was simply ghastly.
