Chapter 76 I've Got You
Jiang Liyue realized it was an illusion and refocused her attention on the book.
The book she picked up was a travelogue, which recorded the local customs and culture of many places, with annotations in the margins.
Clearly, the owner of the book was someone who had traveled to many places.
Unfortunately, Jiang Liyue flipped through several books, but none of the owners seemed to have a habit of leaving their names. Only one book had the character "Xuan" written in the corner of the last page.
I don't know if it's the name of the book's owner.
Unable to confirm, Jiang Liyue picked up the travelogue again and started reading it.
She was engrossed in watching, and time flew by; she soon grew hungry.
Jiang Liyue eats at a very regular time; whenever she feels hungry, it's at least five or six in the afternoon.
I pushed open the door and looked out; it was already pitch black outside.
She picked up a lantern and went out of the room. Sure enough, she saw the dinner that Wang Cuifen had specially left for her outside the courtyard gate.
Jiang Liyue returned to her room carrying a white lantern in one hand and dinner in the other.
The paper figures in the courtyard all huddled together. After being tormented for the past two days, none of them dared to look in her direction anymore.
After returning to her room and opening dinner, Jiang Liyue sighed softly.
Wang Cuifen's cooking skills are not very good; the dishes for several meals were almost the same.
Jiang Liyue's tastes had become too refined after fighting the bosses in the previous two dungeons, so she felt a little uncomfortable eating ordinary food now.
No matter what, Jiang Liyue was even less willing to go hungry.
She sighed and continued eating.
Meanwhile, in the shadows of the corner, a burning gaze was fixed on her direction, and when it saw that she wasn't interested, it frowned in annoyance.
Is she unhappy? Why?
Is it because the food doesn't taste good?
Seeing that she was eating the food that others had prepared made her feel uneasy again.
It seems that he instinctively felt that he should take care of everything for her, and that things shouldn't be like this.
No trash should be left around her!
Jiang Liyue finished her dinner under intense gazes.
That gaze seemed to have no intention of concealing anything, it was exceptionally open, and he didn't seem worried about being discovered by her at all.
This is exactly the same as the previous two instances.
In the first instance, she could coax him into not being too close to outsiders, but in the second instance, he made no attempt to hide it at all.
Now, even though the person hasn't appeared in front of her, their eyes are practically piercing through her.
"You bastard, let's see how long he can hold out."
Thinking of this, Jiang Liyue slowly blinked her eyes, stretched, and inadvertently revealed a slender, fair waist.
She could clearly feel that gaze lingering on her waist, burning with infatuation.
Jiang Liyue snorted inwardly, withdrew her movement, and her waist was covered again.
Under the other person's slightly regretful gaze, she slowly took off her coat, but stopped when she was about to take off her short-sleeved shirt underneath.
He muttered to himself, "Then forget it."
He lay back down on the bed.
That gaze shifted between regret and intensity, but remained fixed on her.
Jiang Liyue found it amusing.
The man who teases the dog is really funny!
Then she slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing gradually calmed down.
At that moment, a dark figure appeared in front of Jiang Liyue's bed, just like the night before, and condensed into a human form.
The figure stared at her with infatuation, his hand unconsciously reaching towards the exposed part of her waist.
So white, so delicate, her skin seemed to glow in the candlelight; I wonder if it would feel soft to the touch.
Why didn't he think to try it last night? The figure wondered with some confusion.
But the moment his large hand touched Jiang Liyue's waist, her hand reached out at the same time.
They caught the large hand that was about to cause trouble.
She opened her eyes, her pupils bright as stars, and looked at him triumphantly: "Got you."
When the figure met Jiang Liyue's bright eyes, it wanted to run away, but was made to pause for a moment by her gaze.
When he tried to leave again, Jiang Liyue grabbed his hand tightly, making him unable to move.
Of course, he wasn't unable to break free, but when her soft, warm hands enveloped him, he simply couldn't bear to let go.
While he was being hooked by Jiang Liyue, Jiang Liyue was also observing his appearance.
She still has delicate and three-dimensional facial features, and her appearance is different from the previous two instances.
He was dressed in ancient costume, with long black hair cascading down his back, exuding the air of an ancient nobleman.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
She was worried that the scoundrel was too ugly to show his face, so she secretly followed him out.
If she's really ugly, considering the relationship we developed in the first two instances, she's still acceptable...
Forget it, she can't.
She only wants to flirt and date handsome guys.
Fortunately, the scoundrel in this instance is still quite handsome.
It perfectly matches Jiang Liyue's aesthetic.
Oh, her aesthetic is all about being tall and handsome.
After all, Jiang Liyue herself is a beauty. If she really falls for someone ugly, not only would outsiders find it unacceptable, but she herself would also feel a bit sorry for herself.
So Jiang Liyue's lack of interest in astringency is her problem.
This is clearly a virtue.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Liyue's scrutinizing gaze, he struggled, as if he wanted to leave again.
Jiang Liyue sensed his intention to leave and snorted, "If you leave now, I won't talk to you anymore."
These words made the figure pause for a moment, but in the end, he did not leave.
His voice was hoarse, but his tone was much better than last night: "Don't leave, don't, don't ignore me."
"Then tell me your name first." Jiang Liyue paused after saying that, her beautiful eyes showing a satisfied look.
She proudly raised her chin: "Let me tell you first, my name is Jiang Liyue, how about that, fair?"
“Yue, Yueyue…” he called her name obsessively.
I love it so much...
It was as if his endless waiting was all for her.
His tone was slow and his voice was deep, with a hint of tenderness when he called her name.
Jiang Liyue's ears itched from listening.
He quickly said, "Tell me your name first before you call me."
The figure seemed to think for a moment before slowly saying, "Feng Xuan."
“Feng Xuan.” Jiang Liyue repeated, recalling the character “Xuan” she had seen in the study. Sure enough, the owner of those books was him.
Feng Xuan felt a tremor in his heart, which had been still for a long time, and his gaze unconsciously returned to Jiang Liyue.
Jiang Liyue smiled sweetly, her eyes crinkling, and asked him, "Did you sneak into my room because you like me?"
Feng Xuan was surprised by her directness. His ears burned slightly, and he softly hummed in agreement.
"I like it, I really like it."
I liked it almost at first sight.
Feng Xuan looked at her expectantly, waiting for her reaction.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Liyue's smile vanished, and she simply gave a nonchalant "Oh."
Then she released his hand, looked at him expressionlessly, and said, "It's time to sleep. This is my room. You can leave."
Feng Xuan stared at her in disbelief, still not having reacted.
