Xi Xingxue sat up: "What happened?"

The system's mechanical voice panicked: "I was just about to activate the command to take you away, but unexpectedly, nothing changed after the command was activated. I suspect that this world is being covered by something!"

Xi Xingxue was first surprised, then thought of something.

It's likely that Xie Jiuchuan realized he had been ejected from this world and couldn't find a way back, so he used some other method to cover this world and prevent him from leaving.

Xi Xingxue looked somewhat heavy-hearted.

Because of the information gap, Xie Jiuchuan was unaware that he would use points to exchange for points to go to his world.

He was just about to go too.

This time, I was directly prevented from going.

Xi Xingxue was helpless.

The wind was too strong on the roof and it was a bit cold. Since she couldn't think of a good solution for the time being, Xi Xingxue had no choice but to climb down the stairs and go back to her room to rest.

However, he was stunned as soon as he opened the door.

The room is full of flowers.

A riot of colors and an irresistible fragrance burst forth in his field of vision.

Just as Xi Xingxue was in a daze, a person walked out from behind the door.

Dressed in red, Ye Chenxing was so beautiful that she almost blended into the flowers.

He smiled and looked at Xi Xingxue with bright eyes.

Do you like it?

Xi Xingxue was stunned for a long time before looking up as if to say something.

The result was a loud "Ahhh!"

A loud sneeze came out of nowhere, startling Ye Chenxing. He rushed over and stared intently at Xi Xingxue.

Are you alright?

His outstretched hand almost touched his shoulder, then abruptly withdrew.

Xi Xingxue definitely didn't want him to touch her, since he didn't like her yet.

Ye Chenxing thought to himself.

Xi Xingxue covered her lips to suppress a sneeze as she turned and walked outside.

Ye Chenxing thought he must hate what she had arranged, his eyes were dull, and he was even hesitant to take another step.

He was afraid that Xi Xingxue would blame him, that he would be angry and tell him never to come again.

"Ye Chenxing." Xi Xingxue stood outside the house and took a while to catch her breath before speaking.

"I'm here." Ye Chenxing looked up at him cautiously.

He used to be fearless, but now he's terrified of Xi Xingxue.

Fear of losing.

Xi Xingxue said, "Thank you for sending me these flowers. I really like them. It must have taken you a lot of time to arrange them. Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Chenxing shook his head, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

"It's not hard work, it's worth it."

Xi Xingxue said, "Don't misunderstand, are there orchids in that room? I'm allergic to orchid pollen."

Ye Chenxing was taken aback for a moment, then said worriedly, "I'll go find the imperial physician."

He had just turned around when Xi Xingxue grabbed his arm.

Xi Xingxue said, "Don't go, it's not serious. I got out in time. We can't waste all those flowers. Once I remove the orchids, I can go back in."

Ye Chenxing's eyes softened and became gentle.

He's so kind.

Ye Chenxing stared into Xi Xingxue's eyes for a long time, and a fragment seemed to flash through his mind. He couldn't help but blurt out.

"I feel like I fell in love with you a long time ago."

Xi Xingxue was slightly taken aback, subconsciously assuming that this guy was confessing his love again, and didn't take it seriously.

These past few days, Ye Chenxing had been pursuing him, but he wouldn't play games with her; he directly stated that he didn't like her.

However, he still didn't give up, and Xi Xingxue couldn't very well kick him out, so they maintained a friendly but not quite friendly relationship, in any case, they wouldn't cross any lines.

During their conversation, Xi Xingxue's personal servant suddenly came over.

"Grand Preceptor, Young Master Xie is looking for you."

Even after Qi Jinzhao ascended the throne, Xi Xingxue remained the Imperial Advisor.

Xie Yin restored the Xie family's prestige, but his father suffered a hidden injury due to exile and could only recuperate and live out his remaining years.

Therefore, Xie Yin became a young marquis.

He was highly intelligent and assisted Qi Jinzhao in accomplishing many practical tasks.

In reality, the two didn't get along, because Xie Yin always felt that he was a threat, such as someone who wanted to take Xi Xingxue away from him.

However, Qi Jinzhao disguised himself very well, and seemed to have no such intentions at all.

Therefore, Xie Yin remained silent and maintained a stable cooperative relationship.

Xi Xingxue said to Ye Chenxing, "Then I'll go to the Xie residence. You should go home too."

Ye Chenxing: "No, I'll wait for you, and I'll take care of the flowers while I'm at it."

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Xi Xingxue had no choice but to leave.

Anyway, he won't be staying with Xie Yin for long.

However, things spiraled out of control when Xi Xingxue fainted as soon as she got into the carriage.

There was a sleeping potion inside the carriage, which he couldn't guard against.

Xi Xingxue had no choice.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a house.

The house looked very luxurious, no different from those in the palace, but it felt strangely unfamiliar and made people uneasy.

Xi Xingxue stood up, feeling dizzy. He tried to push the door open and go out, but found that he couldn't open it.

Who is it?

Xie Yin?

Could it be Qi Jinzhao?

They knocked him unconscious and brought him here.

Xi Xingxue found it terrifying.

These people seem quite normal on the surface.

After discovering that he couldn't open the window either, he sat on the edge of the bed and began to ponder.

About fifteen minutes later.

The sound of a lock being opened came from outside the door. The door was opened, and a tall, slender figure walked in.

Xi Xingxue's pupils contracted.

It is Qi Jinchao.

Qi Jinchao was dressed in casual clothes, with a kite embroidered on the hem, its claws outstretched, fierce and unrestrained.

After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, his demeanor changed, and he exuded a more imposing aura.

When he lowered his eyes to look at Xi Xingxue, he felt as if he were being stared at from the abyss.

Are you surprised to see me?

Qi Jinzhao smiled slightly.

He walked in, closed the door, and gently placed a lunchbox on the table.

"So why did you do that?"

Xi Xingxue asked.

Qi Jinzhao sighed, a hint of sadness appearing on his handsome face.

He stated slowly and deliberately, "They can all chase after you at will, but I can't get close to you, so I have no choice but to resort to such despicable means."

He was the crown prince before, and now he is the emperor.

If he were to resort to such despicable means, he would likely be drowned in the spittle of the people.

He used it secretly.

Xi Xingxue smiled.

"You've kept it well hidden."

"If you hadn't done this, no one would have ever guessed that you actually liked me!"

He curled his lips into a sarcastic smile.

Qi Jinzhao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she walked towards him.

He sat down next to him.

The two sat together chatting like "good friends".

However, Xi Xingxue noticed a hand approaching her waist; Qi Jinzhao wanted to hug her.

He stood up, choosing not to stay with him.

Qi Jinzhao seemed somewhat hurt: "You hate me?"

Xi Xingxue said, "I feel for you..."
