Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it star...
Fang Ruotang raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Does she think her approach to the situation was correct?
Since Rong Xing has suffered a backlash, she must save Rong Xing first before considering anything else.
But if this behavior displeases others, didn't she just back down and let Rong Xing have a bye? Why is Huo Zhige still acting like this?
What's wrong with him?
[You know you were wrong, right? After all, being jealous isn't a good habit.]
The little mirror held its head high, not forgetting to step on its predecessor.
【I'm different from them. I just want the adults to be happy. They can take in whoever they want, whether it's a spirit weapon or a spirit pet.】
Fang Ruotang ignored the small mirror that had suddenly caught fire.
A thought arises.
Of the six men, none of them had any secrets from Gu Yanjin at this moment.
[Xiao Liu, do you really not like me at all? If I stop clinging to you like this, you wouldn't care either?]
Huo Zhige's feelings were very strong, and Fang Ruotang was standing very close to him, so she could hear the grievances and resentment in his voice.
Fang Ruotang was taken aback, feeling a little guilty.
How did she become a bad woman in Huo Zhige's mind?
Was she not good to them?
Fang Ruotang tilted her head and asked a surprising question: "Do you want to leave me?"
Huo Zhige suddenly looked up, the color draining from his face instantly. The other five people had very complicated expressions.
What's wrong with my little sister today?
Does Xiao Liu find us annoying?
[Oh my god, oh my god! Xiao Ruoruo has always disliked me the most. If she doesn't want Huo Zhige today, will it be my turn tomorrow? What should I do? What should I do? No, no, I will never be jealous again. I can't give Xiao Ruoruo the chance to abandon me.]
【How...how could this happen? Yesterday I was just afraid that Xiao Liu would think I was better and stop caring about me. I never expected it to develop like this.】
All four people shared a sense of urgency, a feeling that their fates were intertwined with the fate of the family.
Fang Ruotang looked at them with a puzzled expression and a headache. They all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. The proud young man in front of her even had tears in his eyes and looked at her stubbornly.
Don't even think about it! I'll haunt you until the day I die!
"What are you doing? Are you going to cry?" Fang Ruotang tiptoed closer to Huo Zhige, staring at his reddened eyes. "I was just asking you. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed in me because I stood you up yesterday and want to leave me."
Huo Zhige stared intently at Fang Ruotang, not daring to speak.
What does she mean by this? Is she going to abandon me? Does she care about me? Does she miss me? Really?
When Fang Ruotang felt awkward, she subconsciously wanted to scratch her head, but she couldn't pull her hand away, so she had to give up and said apologetically, "I know! You're jealous because you want me to spend more time with you, but if you leave me because you're jealous, I definitely won't feel indifferent, I'll care a lot."
Huo Zhige: ...
"But I want to make one thing clear first: I'm worried about you, not because I did anything wrong, but because I want to make you happy. But if what happened yesterday happens again, I will still choose to go through with it."
Fang Ruotang told Huo Zhige with a serious expression.
Although Cong Rongxing had already sensed something fishy about last night's backlash from his inner thoughts.
But the strange fire has backfired. Even if we want to investigate, we should save the person first. She can't just let Rong Xing die just to teach him a lesson!
"Xiao Liu, are you not angry?" Cui Shixu asked softly.
Fang Ruotang shook her head, "No!"
"Then why did you look so angry just now?"
"Is there?"
Fang Ruotang recalled that she didn't think so.
She was just confused and lost in thought.
This isn't the first time, so why is Huo Zhige making such a fuss?
Although they didn't understand, considering that they had indeed made concessions to Rong Xing several times for his sake, they immediately changed their minds and told Rong Xing to skip the next round.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's how you were just now!" Gu Nancheng mimicked Fang Ruotang's deep, thoughtful expression.
Fang Ruotang tilted her head to look, recalling her feelings just now, and shook her head firmly, "No! I'm not angry, I just don't understand."
“But now I know why!” Fang Ruotang looked at Rong Xing and frowned as she asked, “Did you deliberately let the strange fire devour you yesterday?”
Rong Xing's heart tightened, and without offering any explanation, he said, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."
I was just afraid you'd misunderstand me. I was already on the verge of losing control. Even if it wasn't last night, it would have been today or tomorrow. I'm not that strong; I can't hold on that long.
But I did use some tricks, so it's understandable that Xiao Liu is upset with me. I just hope that Xiao Liu won't distance herself from me because of this.
Fang Ruotang looked at Rong Xing with a complicated expression.
At once……
These people are all so dramatic!
"...Don't do that again next time."
Fang Ruotang muttered something, but after hearing Rong Xing's thoughts, she didn't want to scold him anymore. Besides, Rong Xing was always considerate, and this kind of thing shouldn't happen again.
“Okay, there won’t be a next time,” Rong Xing replied.
[Fairness!]
I knew Xiao Liu liked Rong Xing the most.
That's too much! That's so biased!
【Oh……】
Fang Ruotang was utterly speechless as she listened to these heartfelt words. Her expression changed, and she said sarcastically, "Stop making up stories about me being biased. I can hear you."
[Really? Little Six can hear my thoughts?]
【!!!】
Everyone stared at Fang Ruotang in disbelief, still trying to discern the truth in her words, while Fang Ruotang rolled her eyes to the heavens.
"I can listen whenever I want. I overheard your thoughts last time, and you're all such big rascals, so I couldn't be bothered to listen anymore. I only listened again because I noticed Zhige seemed a bit off. Stop thinking about all that nonsense. If I didn't like you, would I spend all my time playing house with you? Just relax! I won't abandon you. Even if we fight and break up, we can always make up, right? I don't know what you're thinking all day."
Fang Ruotang chattered away, leaving no room for the others to get a word in edgewise. But just because she couldn't speak didn't mean she wasn't thinking.
You're so outstanding, I'm afraid I'll be left far behind.
Upon hearing the voice, Fang Ruotang knew it was Ye Wuxia.
"What are you thinking! You're such a top student, you're so much smarter than me, you're excellent too! Why are you playing the inferiority complex game with me?"
This time, Fang Ruotang was serious. She broke free from Huo Zhige's hand and teleported behind Ye Wuxia, giving him a hard slap on the waist.
"Don't let your mind wander."
Ye Wuxia stared wide-eyed at Fang Ruotang in surprise.
"Can you really hear my thoughts?"
"Nonsense, I was just joking! I just don't have as much free time as you guys, and I don't like listening to your innermost thoughts," Fang Ruotang said with her hands on her hips, her tone righteous and awe-inspiring.
