Xiao Jingying was furious when he saw this.

Not only did I not sleep all night yesterday, but even during court sessions, I kept thinking about him.

But he's different.

He's actually lying at home taking a nap!

Xiao Jingying walked straight towards him, looking like he was determined to teach him a lesson.

But as soon as he approached and reached out his hand, Minghe seemed to sense his presence and, groping around, grabbed the hem of his clothes.

Xiao Jingying looked at it, and for some reason, his heart softened.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his eyes, and then lay down again.

Then he leaned closer, frowned, and kissed Minghe on the lips. After the kiss, he stared at him and spat at him.

You damned lackey!

After spitting out the insult, he hugged Minghe tightly, pulled the blanket over him, and then fell asleep with him.

Both of them slept very well.

There was no physical exertion, just the two of them snuggling together.

They seemed much more affectionate than usual.

Minghe woke up groaning, her vision gradually clearing. As soon as she saw Xiao Jingying lying next to her, she immediately showed an expression of extreme disgust.

Minghe stared at him sideways for a long time.

Seeing that he showed no sign of waking up, Minghe mustered her courage and moved closer to him, her face contorted with disgust as she looked at Xiao Jingying's face...

"Pooh--"

Xiao Jingying immediately opened his eyes, and the chilling glint in them told everyone that he had actually been awake for a while.

Minghe looked at him, clutching the blanket, her eyes darting around.

Xiao Jingying suddenly rushed over and grabbed his chin.

Before Xiao Jingying could do anything to him, Minghe started screaming like a piglet being put on a grill, running around wildly.

Xiao Jingying held him down so tightly that he almost couldn't hold him down.

Not only that, he even scratched his own face and arms.

He had never known that Minghe, who always pretended to be docile, could have such great strength.

He had no idea how desperately Minghe was screaming.

"Little Darling—Little Darling—I don't want to live anymore—Little Darling—Help—Help—"

Xiao Guai: "...Cooling-off period, cooling-off period...This is only the first day, hang in there, hang in there! Come on! Keep going!"

After struggling and struggling, Minghe stopped struggling.

Xiao Jingying covered his mouth, and he casually spread his limbs out, just looking at the room.

He tilted his head back, grabbed Xiao Jingying's hand, and forced the hand that was gripping his chin to rest on his neck, then said, "Kill me..."

Xiao Jingying: "..."

Xiao Jingying's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He thought that Minghe was deliberately going against him by not studying properly.

But now it seems that this person is just plain stupid.

Did I really push him too hard?

“If you don’t pass the exam this time,” Xiao Jingying lifted the hand that was on his neck and touched his face, “you can take it again next year. I won’t cut off your hand.”

Minghe turned his face away, and tears streamed down his face.

Xiao Jingying looked on, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Are you hungry? I'll have someone make you two more braised pig's trotters."

"..."

Minghe sniffed, looking resolute in the face of death, and closed her eyes.

Xiao Jingying looked at it and smiled.

He pulled the blanket off Minghe, lifted his body up, and made him face him, sitting in his lap.

He then reached behind his back and tidied Minghe's black hair.

Those hands, with their prominent, bulging veins, long and powerful, stained with countless drops of blood, were inserted into Minghe's hair, patiently stroking it along her strands.

Xiao Jingying brought the black hair to his lips, sniffed it, and then put it back to him.

Then, he gently picked up Minghe and put his coat on him.

After getting dressed, Minghe acted nonchalantly, lying back down on the bed, covering her eyes with the back of her hand to scare herself away, and simply ignoring him.

Xiao Jingying ignored him, casually picked up his shoes, grabbed his ankle, and put them on him.

When Minghe realized what he had done, her toes twitched slightly with nervousness.

Xiao Jingying... actually put shoes on him...

“I’m free these days,” Xiao Jingying said, launching a gentle offensive. “You’ve been cooped up in the yard for too long these past few days, how about I take you out for a walk?”

Minghe: "..."

Minghe rolled over, buried her face in the blanket, and ignored him.

Xiao Jingying simply told him that he had prepared food, including four braised pig's trotters.

Since we've already let him eat, let him eat his fill.

When the food was delivered, Xiao Jingying didn't call Minghe; he just sat there and ate by himself.

Minghe tossed and turned in bed, and finally quietly opened her eyes. Without a word, she got out of bed, walked over, and sat down.

He took a braised pig's trotter and started eating.

Xiao Jinying looked up at him.

Minghe thought to herself, "Anyway, he'll be leaving in a month. What does he care about saving face? Why should I mistreat myself?"

Minghe ate all four braised pig's trotters.

After he finished eating, Xiao Jingying asked him again, "Do you want to go for a walk to digest your food?"

Minghe covered her mouth and hiccuped, “…”

Xiao Jingying took out a handkerchief, grabbed his hand, wiped it, and then said, "Let's go."

He said he would ask Minghe about everything he did, but Xiao Jingying only asked politely. In reality, whatever Minghe said was what he meant.

He was like a hunter, gently luring his prey.

It's not like I'm making him study. Minghe thought to herself, if he wants to go out for a walk, then let him go out for a walk.

He hadn't expected that Xiao Jingying would take him to the Xiao family.

Apart from the time he came to the capital with Xiao Jingying, Minghe had never been to the Xiao residence before.

It wasn't that he didn't want to come, but no matter how much he tried to curry favor with Xiao Jingying, Xiao Jingying never paid him any attention. Every time Xiao Jingying returned to the Xiao residence, he always brought Xiao Shan with him.

Minghe stood at the entrance of the Xiao residence, looking at the imposing plaque. Because she was tilting her head back so high, her mouth was slightly open.

Xiao Jingying, sitting in the carriage, leaned against the window, looked at him, and coughed.

Minghe immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Jingying.

Xiao Jingying looked at him, then turned his head towards the horse's head, "Go help me down!"

Minghe: "Oh~"

Although that's what she said, Minghe thought to herself, "Since when has Xiao Jin needed someone to help him after winning the carriage?"

Xiao Jingying placed his hand on Minghe's hand, looked at him, and held it.
