Chapter 23 That's my lip rouge
Chunyu Han lowered his eyes and glanced at Yu Nian's hands with his narrow phoenix eyes. Compared to yesterday, there were several more fresh wounds on those fair and delicate fingers today.
Did she make this herself today too?
Yu Nian had no idea what Chunyu Han was thinking; her hand was already sore from holding it up, but she still hadn't waited for Chunyu Han to reach out.
Yu Nian glanced sideways at Chunyu Han. Sigh, has this guy's intermittent muteness relapsed again?
Canghai could no longer bear to see the stalemate between the two, and whispered a reminder to Yu Nian outside the octagonal pavilion.
“Miss Yu, the master usually does not eat after noon and also avoids spicy food.”
It has to be said that Canghai's words once again refreshed Yu Nian's understanding of Chunyu Han.
If Yu Nian were made to skip meals after noon, she would starve to death. She should be allowed to eat whenever she wants; why be so strict?
Yu Nian doesn't usually care how Chunyu Han behaves, but if Chunyu Han doesn't eat today, then there will be trouble.
Because Yu Nian's task was to personally feed Chunyu Han.
Moreover, the reward is a whopping ten days of life!
Yu Nian didn't believe anyone could resist the temptation of barbecue, let alone the fact that she had become so fat that she had broken Chunyu Han's vow of abstinence.
"Lord Chunyu, do you truly abstain from food after noon? Or are you simply afraid of spicy food?"
Yu Nian leaned closer to Chunyu Han in a strange voice and waved the meat skewers in front of him.
"Smell it, it smells so good!"
Yu Nian's bold actions terrified Cang Hai. This was hardly the image of a noble lady; Yu Nian looked more like a seductive vixen.
In those shimmering, peach-blossom eyes, a defiant flame flickered, growing ever stronger, seemingly intent on engulfing Chunyu Han.
The girl's unique gardenia fragrance, mixed with the aroma of food, wafted over, and although Chunyu Han sat upright, his heart skipped a beat for no reason.
"Put it down, that's rude."
Yu Nian was already tired of hearing Chunyu Han's reprimands, but whenever this bloodthirsty demon uttered such serious words, Yu Nian inexplicably felt that he had a kind of endearing contrast.
Especially since he has such a handsome and alluring face, if Yu Nian doesn't flirt with him when they meet, she feels she's doing a disservice to herself for being so humble and trying to please him. She has to collect some interest, right?
"Using reverse psychology? Clumsy."
Chunyu Han didn't even spare a glance for the meat skewer, only coldly sweeping his gaze over Yu Nian.
The moment Yu Nian got close to him, Chunyu Han found that Yu Nian smelled much better than the meat skewers.
Yu Nian put down the meat skewers. Chunyu Han was a man of his word; if he said he wouldn't eat, he definitely wouldn't.
However, Yu Nian was not about to give up so easily. She peeled a boiled peanut and held it between her fingers.
"Now let's get down to business. What do you think of my suggestion to you, sir, at the Sanhua Pavilion the other day?"
Yu Nian stood up, put her hands behind her back, looked down at Chunyu Han's head, and quietly approached him.
Chunyu Han remained unmoved and slightly raised his head to look at Yu Nian.
"I've already told you, you lack sincerity..."
As Chunyu Han was speaking, he suddenly felt a cool sensation brush against his lips, followed by a girl's charming laughter.
"I cooked these peanuts myself. I'm showing you my sincerity. You'll see when you eat them."
The girl's happy smile blossomed under the moonlight, her upturned peach blossom eyes dimming the starry sky. The gentle moonlight shone on Yu Nian, casting a faint halo around her features.
The salty and savory flavor of the peanuts melted on Chunyu Han's tongue, while his thin lips felt a burning sensation.
Yu Nian also noticed that while the Ninth Prince's face didn't blush at all during the ambiguous act of feeding him, his lips did turn slightly red.
As his tongue swept across his lips, Chunyu Han tasted the long-lost flavor of chili peppers.
Everyone else just thought he was averse to spicy food, but only he knew that he couldn't eat any spicy food since he was a child, and even a little bit would make him feel very uncomfortable.
"The vast sea, water."
Chunyu Han glared at Yu Nian. She must have done it on purpose. Since she couldn't poison him, she used this method to torment him instead.
Yu Nian: !!
While grilling the skewers, Yu Nian accidentally got some seasoning on her fingertip, but she didn't pay attention. Who knew...
Chunyu Han's red lips gave him a unique, ascetic beauty, but Yu Nian had no interest in appreciating it.
In that instant, Yu Nian's mood was like a rollercoaster. Before she could even be happy about gaining 240 hours of life points, she heard the system notification.
Chunyu Han's happiness level dropped by 20!
"I have tea here!"
Yu Nian quickly picked up the teacup and eagerly brought it to Chunyu Han's lips, trying to make up for her fatal mistake.
Seeing that Yu Nian was about to feed him water again, Chunyu Han snorted and snatched the teacup away.
"I'll do it myself."
Chunyu Han didn't trust Yu Nian to serve him; she was a woman with ulterior motives.
After drinking a cup of tea in one gulp, Chunyu Han felt a little better.
When he put down the teacup, he noticed a small red mark on the rim of the teacup that Yu Nian had handed him.
"What's this?"
Chunyu Han cautiously pursed his lips. This shouldn't be something like chili peppers; it even seemed to have a sweet taste.
"Let me see?"
Yu Nian curiously leaned closer, wondering if a mosquito had fallen into the teacup. Chunyu Han was really unlucky.
Yu Nian glanced over, and after seeing clearly, the smile on her face froze completely.
"What exactly is it?"
Chunyu Han doesn't have much patience. Just look at Yu Nian's expression and you'll know he's no good.
"Well, you have to promise me first that you won't get angry after I finish speaking."
Yu Nian leaned back and glanced at Chunyu Han somewhat timidly.
She was in such a hurry that she accidentally handed her teacup to Chunyu Han... Sigh, why didn't the system refresh an indirect kissing task for her? What a waste of this opportunity.
“You have no right to negotiate with me. If you don’t tell me, then never show your face in the Regent’s Palace again.”
Chunyu Han's deep gaze was fixed on Yu Nian, making Yu Nian feel a sense of oppression from which she had nowhere to hide.
"I'll talk, I'll talk, calm down, calm down..."
Yu Nian dared not provoke Chunyu Han any further, fearing that he would get angry again and lower his pleasure level, which would be troublesome. She quickly raised her hands in surrender and chuckled dryly.
"Actually, it's nothing special."
Yu Nian closed her eyes and decided to go all out.
"That's my lip rouge... made by Chuntao with roselle oil and golden-edged roses, all-natural and free of..."
Yu Nian watched as Chunyu Han's expression grew increasingly cold, and his voice grew softer and softer. Chunyu Han was known for his mysophobia...
"Please calm down, my lord. I really didn't mean it this time. I just acted impulsively."
No sooner had Yu Nian finished speaking than a sharp arrow was heard sticking straight into the barbecue grill next to her with a snap, sparks flying everywhere.
Canghai immediately drew his sword and shouted.
"Be careful, sir! There's an assassin!"
