Chapter 8.2: Indulging in Carnal Desire Chapter 8.2 \nâUncle, I want to hear a story.â
\nAfter having slept for a while, Chu Jiao didnât have any drowsiness at all. She leaned on the bed, blinking her big eyes, staring at Chu Minshen.
Heng. Since you left me alone.
Iâll punish you with telling me a story.
Tell a story?
Chu Minshenâs brain was only filled with military rules. What kind of story was appropriate to be told to a child?
He suddenly thought of something and walked towards the book shelf.
On the top, there was an unopened book. That book was the birthday gift he had prepared for the little lady this year.
This was good since it had now come into good use. \nChu Minshen tore the packaging off, held the book and sat back down on the bed.
He turned the bedside lamp on and under the bright yellow light, he slowly turned to the first page.
âIn a little princeâs planet, there was a group of simple one petal flowers that grew since a long time ago. Although these flowers were very small, they didnât take up a lot of space and they have never troubled anybody. They would bloom in the early morning among the underbrush and would wilt by night. Suddenly, on one day, a seed sprouted and the people didnât know where the seed came from.
The little prince took special care watching this bud because it differed from the rest. This thing must be a new Baobab tree. He thought. But, soon, the little bud stopped growing and instead began to produce a flower. Looking at the bud growing out a very very big flower bud, the little prince felt that this flower bud was going to show a miracle.
However, this flower hid herself in its lush green room and took a really long time to dress herself up. She meticulously picked out the color she was going to be and slowly decorated herself, matching her petals one by one. She didnât want to look like a corn poppy with a face full of wrinkles. She wanted to be born into the world with a bright and beautiful appearance.
Thatâs right. She loved looking pretty. She used several days to dress up like a goddess. Then, one early morning, just when the sun was rising, she bloomed.
She had already meticulously made such preparations yet she yawned while saying:
âI just woke up, Iâm really sorry that you had to see my hair still tangledâŚ.â\nThe little prince couldnât control his own adoring feelings at that moment:
âYou are so beautiful!â
The flower contentedly replied:
â
âRight? I was born at the same time the sun came outâŚâ
The little prince could see that this flower wasnât too modest but she was indeed really gorgeous.
â
She soon spoke again. âItâs now time to eat breakfast. Could you please be thoughtful to prepare something for meâŚâ
The little prince felt a bit embarrassed so he took out a watering can and poured in a pot of cold water before irrigating the flower.
âYou better protect me well at night. Your place is too cold. Itâs not good for living. The place where I came beforeâŚâ
\nShe was still small and weak so he will have to wait for a very very long time for her to grow up.
She would still need him to protect her from strong winds and irrigate and fertilize her.
She would then slowly grow up and become a beautiful, aromatic and alluring rose.
A rose that belonged to a little prince.
And before all of this, he will carefully protect her.
