The man had a whole bunch of things he wanted to say to Lin Xiuyan, but he stopped talking when she hugged him.
His neck turned red first, then his face turned red, and then his ears turned bright red.
He wanted to push her away, but was afraid of hurting her. His originally loud voice suddenly became weak: "Lin Xiuyan, what are you doing? Let go!"
Lin Xiuyan leaned against his chest, closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She whispered, "Xu Qianting, it's so good that you're still alive!"
In her past life, besides her family, the person she wronged the most was Xu Qianting.
Xu Qianting comes from a family of military generals and is the youngest son of the garrison commander of Yucheng. Like Lin Xiuyan, he is also a notorious playboy in Yucheng.
The two became friends after a fight; they used to be like-minded and had a pretty good relationship.
However, after Zhou Chenyang returned to Chongqing, she stopped paying much attention to Xu Qianting because he always spoke ill of Zhou Chenyang.
The two had even fought several times over this.
In her past life, she only wanted to marry Zhou Chenyang, and her attitude towards Xu Qianting worsened, eventually leading her to unilaterally break off all contact with him.
Later, when Zhou Chenyang caused her family to be destroyed and she was surrounded by enemies, only Xu Qianting offered her a helping hand.
That winter, Xu Qianting was tortured to death by Zhou Chenyang after his hands and feet were chopped off and he was put into a jar in an attempt to save her.
His only wish before he died was for her to hug him.
She unexpectedly met him today, and remembering his wish from his past life, she instinctively hugged him.
This embrace had nothing to do with love; it was something she owed him from a past life.
Xu Qianting didn't know where to put his hands, and he said somewhat helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Of course I'm alive and well!"
"Hey, can you let go of me! You're a young lady, this isn't appropriate!"
He felt something wet on his chest, looked down and saw her crying. He panicked: "What's wrong? Did Zhou Chenyang bully you?"
Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "No, it's just that my head hurts a little."
Xu Qianting quickly helped her up and said, "I'll take you to see a doctor."
Lin Xiuyan had already come to her senses and realized that it was inappropriate for her to keep hugging him like that, so she quickly let go of his arms.
She sniffed, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and smiled, saying, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Xu Qianting was still worried: "You didn't cry out in pain when you broke your leg in a fight last time. Just to be on the safe side, I'll take you to see a doctor first."
He hadn't taken more than three steps with her when he saw a man with a beauty mark under his eye standing at the alley entrance, smiling at them.
Ye Junfei was clearly smiling, yet it sent chills down Xu Qianting's spine; a dangerous aura emanated from him.
Xu Qianting shielded Lin Xiuyan behind him, asking warily, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Ye Junfei ignored him and said to Lin Xiuyan with gentle eyes, "Are you alright? I'll take you home."
Lin Xiuyan's expression changed slightly when she saw Ye Junfei. She asked, "You've already got the stuff, why are you coming to see me?"
Ye Junfei said calmly, "I am your etiquette teacher. Master Lin asked me to stay by your side at all times. Who else should I ask if not you?"
Xu Qianting asked Lin Xiuyan with some surprise, "Why would your father hire a etiquette tutor for you out of the blue?"
Lin Xiuyan felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing Ye Junfei's words. She said to Xu Qianting, "This is a long story, I'll tell you the details next time."
"I have to go first. You should also go home early and not wander around outside."
After she finished speaking, she walked out. Xu Qianting wanted to follow her but was stopped by Ye Junfei.
Xu Qianting wanted to chase after Lin Xiuyan, so he subconsciously reached out to push him. Ye Junfei flicked his hand a few times, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't lift his entire arm!
He looked at Ye Junfei in utter shock. Ye Junfei glanced at him with extremely indifferent eyes, then walked away with great elegance.
Ye Junfei didn't deliberately conceal his aura, and the aura he exuded made Xu Qianting's heart skip a beat, and his whole body went cold:
How could someone like that possibly be willing to be Lin Xiuyan's etiquette tutor?
Who exactly is he?
Lin Xiuyan didn't wait for Ye Junfei and went straight back to the Lin residence.
Lin Yunzhi and Jiang Xinrou were not at home, and the mansion was very quiet.
Lin Xiuyan poured herself a cup of tea, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, but she still couldn't suppress the raging fire in her heart.
Ye Junfei sat down next to her and picked up a teacup, gesturing for her to pour tea.
She got angry as soon as she saw him, and this time she didn't give in to his wishes.
She stood up and glared at him, saying, "You've already got the Blood Jade Grass, we're even! Why are you still following me?"
Ye Junfei asked gently, "Which eye of yours saw me obtain the Blood Jade Grass?"
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "We agreed before that I would help you hold off Zhou Chenyang while you go to his study to get the Blood Jade Grass."
"You burned down his study today, how could you not have gotten the Blood Jade Grass?"
For some reason, she felt that Ye Junfei was in a bad mood. Could it be because he didn't get the Blood Jade Grass?
Ye Junfei smiled faintly: "That was your wishful thinking. I never agreed to it from beginning to end."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Upon closer examination, she realized that it was indeed true.
She asked, "If that's the case, then why did you burn down Zhou Chenyang's study?"
Ye Junfei replied, "I saw you were having a good time outside, so I lit a fire to add to your enjoyment."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Lin Xiuyan: "!!!!!"
To light a fire and add to the festivities?
Does he see him as King You of Zhou and her as Bao Si?
She tried to calm herself down: "Since you went to his study, you should be able to find the Blood Jade Grass."
"Did you set fire to the study after you obtained the Blood Jade Grass?"
Ye Junfei smiled slightly: "I did see the Blood Jade Grass and took it, but I used it as a kindling to start a fire."
"The fact that the fire in Zhou Chenyang's study could burn so fiercely was largely due to the Blood Jade Grass; it burns very well."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
Indeed, the actions of a madman can never be judged by common sense.
She took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Ye, shall we talk?"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Okay."
Lin Xiuyan wanted to slap him when she saw his appearance, but she held back because of his status.
She tried her best to remain calm as she said to him, "Young Master Ye, there are so many people in this world, why do you choose to follow me?"
Ye Junfei asked indifferently, "Of all the people in this world, why did you take off my clothes?"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She wanted to slap herself hard. Why did she have to be so impulsive as to take off his clothes?
Ye Junfei laughed when he saw her expression, his peach blossom eyes full of amusement: "You look really funny when you're angry."
His words calmed Lin Xiuyan down. He was a pervert; the angrier she got, the more excited he became.
The more excited he got, the more he wanted to see her angry, and the more he would tease her.
After she understood the logic, she glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
As soon as she left, Ye Junfei tapped the table a few times, and a figure leaped down from the lush, towering tree beside her...
