Chapter 84: Overdressed Or Not

Chapter 84: Overdressed Or Not

Si Ning stood in front of the mirror checking his face and hair, he nodded as he slightly touched his hairpin, satisfied with how perfect his face and hair was but that wasn’t the reason he was standing in front of the mirror, the problem was with his attire and his indecisive mind so he started turning over and over, checking his robes from his neck down to his feet then suddenly he felt ridiculous as he removed his outer robe and almost run-up to the wardrobe immediately yanking the door opened and quickly threw the outer robe in like he couldn’t wait to get rid of it before closing the door with a satisfied expression and nodded, his hand akimbo before walking back to the table to take his seat.

After some time of staring into space, it dawned on him what he just did then he looked down at his robes and he felt like what he was wearing was not presentable enough and Xiu Zhicheng mustn’t see him like that so he stood up to stand in front of the mirror to check his attire again without the outer robe and after turning till he was able to at least see at least ninety percent of his attire just like he had done after Ah Dai was done dressing him, Si Ning went back to the wardrobe and brought out the outer robe he discarded, he walked back to the mirror while putting it on, he stood in front of the mirror adjusting the outer robe before standing still and he felt so extravagant like he was overdressed, seemly like he was trying too much to impress Xiu Zhicheng.

For anyone to think he was trying to impress Xiu Zhicheng was something Si Ning doesn’t want, especially Xiu Zhicheng because he didn’t want the Emperor to enter and feel like his Empress to be was dressed up for him. After all, Si Ning didn’t think he was trying to impress anybody with how extravagant he dressed, it was just the attire Ah Dai ended up choosing for him because he was unable to choose one for himself.

Going back and forth from the wardrobe to the mirror then back to sit at the table while removing and putting on his outer robe was what Si Ning had been doing ever since Ah Dai dressed him up that he was even getting tired of his restless motion of walking back and forth then sitting. It was so confusing and frustrating that without the outer robe he felt like his dressing wasn’t complete and he looked too plain even though Ah Dai reassured him he looked good with or without the outer robe but Si Ning wasn’t satisfied and with the outer robe he felt it was too much and now his mind was stuck in between putting on or not putting on his outer robe. To avoid thinking irrationally, Si Ning sat down and closed his eyes knowing he should have done that since to find a suitable solution.

After thinking for some time about what to do and knowing he doesn’t have any outer robe to fit his inner robes to avoid overdressing. He opened his eyes and sighed, to balance the turmoil in his heart Si Ning removed a hand from the sleeve in a way that only one hand is in the sleeve of the outer robe making it that he was only wearing half of the outer robe and was between putting on or putting off the robe.

"Perfect." Si Ning uttered as he took a deep breath, propping an elbow to support his head then he couldn’t help but think if Xiu Zhicheng was finally going to make love to him then the outer robe was going to get in the way making it difficult to quickly get rid of his clothes. The thought made Si Ning’s cheek heat up that he had to slap his cheeks a few times saying.

Stop that Si Ning, stop it!

He scolded himself as he tried to calm his heart that was racing as he pulled off his outer robe and draped it on his shoulder. Xiu Zhicheng wasn’t there but he was already blushing thinking of him, it was making his mind restless because he wanted to be angry for behaving like a teenager waiting for his crush yet he couldn’t help but smile even though he wanted to frown but yet he found himself smiling and not tired of smiling and waiting because he had been dressed since afternoon so it would look like it was just his normal day dressing yet he was a bit excited. It was when the sun went down that Si Ning was aware of him of his attire, it was then he took not of himself with or without the outer robe which made him become disturbed about it and thinking of what Xiu Zhicheng might think after seeing him that any little commotion outside his door made his heart race making him sit appropriately with an eager look but only to feel disappointed if Ah Dai, Xiao Pei, or Jiang Ye comes in.

Si Ning had been trying to be indifferent to Xiu Zhicheng coming but after being eager and looking forward to seeing him, Si Ning stopped fighting it and decided to just accept it. He finally concluded he was just horny because something like this had never happened to him even when he was dating Liu Ting. After all, he used to see Liu Ting all the time and they do make love so he had never been deprived of sex but now he feels like he couldn’t wait and worst he was the one behaving like a woman looking forward to Xiu Zhicheng coming over.

"Si Ning behave yourself, remember you used to be a playboy and always the one making them look forward to you coming over and not the way around." Si Ning said as he folded his hands on the table quite irritated that after talking to himself, it wasn’t helping and didn’t help his racing heart but only made it keep accelerating.

He placed his hand on his chest, rubbing it with the hope it would help but his palm was sweaty that he took the handkerchief on the table to clean his hand before placing it back on his chest just where his heart was and he could feel and also hear the thump thump thump of how crazy his heart was beating crazily. His heart beating fast was the problem he was currently facing as he completely forgot about being disturbed because of his outer robe.

"You are twenty-five for heaven’s sake stop behaving like this!" Si Ning yelled as he grabbed and flung the outer robe away, frustrated with himself and his heart that wasn’t listening to him to calm down that he wanted nothing but to rake his hands through his hair while swinging his hair around and yell out all that he was being frustrated about.

"Young Master!"

When Si Ning heard Ah Dai, he quickly straightened up then his eyes widen when it landed on where his outer robe was, without thinking he jumped and rolled on the floor grabbing the outer robe and rolled back to his previous position, draping it on his shoulder as he quickly sat straighter waiting for Ah Dai to announce that Xiu Zhicheng had arrived and without taking note Si Ning quickly wore a smile as he tried to relax his racing heart, he entangled his fingers looking so eager at the door.
