"Bai Zhi, why aren't you saying anything?" Feng Guang tilted her head and asked, but then smiled sweetly and said, "Never mind, it's better if you don't say anything."

She cupped his face in her hands, bent down slightly, and placed a gentle kiss on the corner of his mouth.

Bai Zhi's expression froze instantly.

A quick, light kiss, and she stood up smiling again. "It's always me taking the initiative like this. As a girl, it's really bothersome."

"If you do nothing, you won't have any problems."

Bai Zhi finished speaking coldly and was about to stand up when a loud shout came from above, "Watch out!"

Feng Guang closed her eyes, bent down, and hugged him tightly, shielding his head in her arms. Just as she completed this series of instinctive movements, a flowerpot fell heavily beside them, shattering into pieces.

A man's head popped out of a fourth-floor window of the building next door. "Sorry, I didn't hit you, did I?"

Feng Guang let go of Bai Zhi, tilted his head back, put his hands on his hips, and angrily said, "Uncle, can you be a little more careful when you're growing flowers? Do you know who I am? You can't afford to pay for even a single hair on my head if you hit one of my flowers!"

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and it fell down." The person upstairs kept apologizing.

"You!...Hey, don't pull me away!" Feng Guang was about to argue with the careless man, but Bai Zhi grabbed her hand and pulled her away. When she noticed the crowd gathered around her, well, she finally understood why he had pulled her away.

But he just kept not saying a word, and she was getting really frustrated.

"Hey, Bai Zhi, why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared? Don't be afraid, I was here just now. I'll protect you..." Before she could finish speaking, the man pushed her forcefully into the alley, and she was forced to lean against the cold wall. She couldn't help but flinch.

Looking up, she saw Bai Zhi's hand braced against the wall, trapping her in his arms... Wait, this scene seems a bit familiar. Isn't this the same pose the male and female leads were in yesterday's alleyway when they were cornered against the wall?

Feng Guang's expression was somewhat subtle. She crouched down slightly, trying to slip under his arm, but the man's other hand gripped her wrist tightly, preventing her from moving.

Especially at this moment, his face was frighteningly cold.

"Bai, Bai Zhi, what's wrong?" Although Feng Guang had flirted with him quite a bit to complete the mission, she was still nervous when it came to this serious situation. There had been instances of the second male lead turning evil before, which made the mission a completely different level of difficulty.

Because it's not just about making the target fall in love with her, it's also about making the target feel happy.

"A dating game the young lady plays when she's bored." Bai Zhi's eyes darkened, and he moved his face closer to hers. "Does she really have to go to such lengths?"

"What are you talking about? I've already said I want to be with you, not that I'm playing games because I'm bored." Her tone was tinged with anger; even when it was just doing a quest, she genuinely poured her own feelings into it each time.

Bai Zhi scoffed as if he had heard a joke, "Like me? Miss Xia's fiancé is the famous Song Mo. I'm just a lowly secretary. What makes me worthy of your favor?"

"Do you simply judge a person's worth based on these superficial things?"

He paused slightly. "Otherwise what?"

"Fine, let's judge a person's worth based on these things, as you say. But the value of something varies from person to person. In my eyes, you are priceless. What makes you think you're not qualified?" By the end, Feng Guang's temper had completely flared up. What she hated most was people who belittled their own worth. She knew that Bai Zhi had been hiding his inferiority complex because of his childhood experiences, but in the eyes of those who liked him, this kind of inferiority complex was completely unimportant.
