Nan Rong Jinghua wasn't annoyed. She raised an eyebrow slightly, ate the half-piece of osmanthus cake, and a smile flickered in her eyes beneath her long silk robe.

His gaze fell upon Helian Si's face, which was now flushed crimson. His thin lips curved slightly, and he spoke, seemingly unintentionally, the meaning of which was ambiguous.

"This is what Sisi ate."

Helian Si: "!!!"

No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

Seeing the little girl's expression, as if she had been struck by lightning, Nan Rong Jinghua sighed softly and gently ruffled her hair.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Well, the little girl is still too young. He can raise her for another two years. It's no problem. He's waited for thousands of years.

Feeling the arms that had been firmly holding his waist loosen, Helian Si shuddered instantly.

He got off Nan Rong Jinghua's lap and sat on the jade stool, deliberately sitting far away from Nan Rong Jinghua.

He patted his cheeks and realized they were burning hot. "Aaaaaah! Helian Si, you're so pathetic!"

So what if I was flirted with by a handsome teacher? Is it really that big of a deal? Where did that childhood courage of kissing any handsome guy go?!

"Is Sisi shy?"

Nan Rong Jinghua's gaze fell on Helian Si, who was far away from her. Her eyes, hidden beneath her long silk robe, were slightly lowered, and her thin lips were pursed, but she did not expose Helian Si.

"No, no, Master, don't talk nonsense!"

Helian Si, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately exploded. He looked up at Nan Rong Jinghua, forcing himself to look directly into Nan Rong Jinghua's eyes, and denied it three times in a row.

Just kidding, she's a player who's determined to seduce every handsome man in the world, how could she possibly get shy from being flirted with so easily?

Does this live up to her ambitions? Even if it does live up to her ambitions, it's still unfair to her father, who conquered various countries and unified the world so that she could seduce all the handsome men in the world.

Fo Lian, whose mind was connected with Helian Si's, was speechless: "???"

What nonsense is 077 spouting now? Helian Nie conquered all the kingdoms and unified the world just so 077 could seduce all the handsome men in the world? ???

Have you no shame? I'm asking you, do you have any shame at all?!

Nan Rong Jinghua simply looked at Helian Si without saying a word, a gentle smile playing on her thin lips.

The silver-white hem of her robe fluttered in the wind, making the blooming osmanthus trees in the courtyard seem like mere background, unable to match her splendor.

Helian Si admitted that she was amazed by his appearance, but it was absolutely impossible for her to show it.

Silently turning her face away, deliberately ignoring Nan Rong Jinghua, she looked at the osmanthus tree in full bloom behind Nan Rong Jinghua.

He took a deep breath almost imperceptibly, casually picked up a teacup from the jade table, and took a sip.

"Wow, this year's osmanthus tea is just perfect."

Nan Rong Jinghua: "..."

Buddha Lotus: "???"

The golden lotus body, floating in mid-air, wobbled and nearly fell. It reached up and, in a rather unladylike manner, picked at its ear.

What the heck? What did it hear? Osmanthus tea, it's blooming so beautifully? Did 077 get flirted with by that god and its brain went haywire?

Helian Si realized he had said the wrong thing and slapped his forehead in frustration, wishing he could die on the spot. What a stupid thing he had just said!

Nan Rong Jinghua's long, slender fingers with distinct joints picked up the teacup on the jade table, took a graceful sip, and parted her thin lips slightly.

"Yes, the osmanthus tea is blooming exceptionally well this year."

Helian Si: "..." Please, please save the child, please open a crack in the ground!
