Ji Linyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he realized he hadn't concealed it properly. He hurriedly blushed and said, "This is... mine. It might look a bit like the young master..."
"No, something's not right!"
While Zheng Sixuan was pondering, Ji Linyuan had already quickly put on his outer robe, put on his boots, and stood up.
Just as he was about to retort with "Something's not right," he saw Zheng Sixuan pointing at him in shock, her pupils widening involuntarily, filled with terror.
"You...you, you, you wouldn't be so bold as to even covet the young master, would you?"
"He can't do it, he..."
Before Zheng Sixuan could finish speaking, Ji Linyuan shot him a deadly glare.
But Ji Linyuan quickly realized that he couldn't reveal too much emotion.
He looked away again and repeated in a low voice, "These are my own clothes."
"Oh, I understand." Although she agreed, Zheng Sixuan was still very worried.
That means he likes it. If he didn't like it, why would his ears turn red when the young master is mentioned?
On the way to the training ground, after much deliberation, Zheng Sixuan gritted her teeth and told Ji Linyuan the secret in her heart.
"Xiao Yuan, I'm sorry for the morning. I said 'Young Master' because... our Young Master wasn't like this before."
Zheng Sixuan said softly, "He used to neither feed people to the Gu worms nor set off fireworks with ashes."
"But a year ago, I had a high fever and it seemed like I was about to stop breathing. But after a short while, my pulse started beating again, and I came back to life. But since then, my personality has changed a lot."
"The cruelest time was when he threw a man who had been pursuing him for five years into the dungeon, pierced his limbs with red-hot iron chains, and released venomous insects to bite him bit by bit until he died."
“But you don’t need to be afraid.” Zheng Sixuan added a few more words: “Later it was found that the man was sent by the Queen to poison him. Actually, the young master is not bad. He is fair in rewarding and punishing the guards.”
"But since then, everyone says he's had a soul swap, and no one dares to mess with him anymore. How dare you covet the young master? I really..."
Whom do you covet?
As they were talking, a soft, sweet voice entered Zheng Sixuan's ears, and he immediately tensed up and stood up straight.
His voice trembled as he blurted out, "Young Master...why did you come to the training ground today?"
Si Jin smiled and said, "Routine check."
"Yes! We're not late."
Si Jin hummed in agreement, her eyes still curved in a smile, and remained silent. But her gentle and refined smile only made Zheng Sixuan more and more flustered.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and stood in front of Ji Linyuan: "Young Master, it was I who coveted you, it has nothing to do with Xiaoyuan. I deserve to die a thousand deaths and am unforgivable. Punish me!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes tightly, looking as if he were bravely facing death.
Ji Linyuan: …………
"Young Master, I..."
"Come with me." Before she could finish speaking, Si Jin called her away, taking her far away from the training ground.
Judging by that direction, it seems to be... the punishment room!!!
Zheng Sixuan's heart pounded, and she quickly clasped her hands together to pray for Ji Linyuan.
"I shouldn't have told Xiaoyuan about this this morning, what a terrible mistake!"
"Almighty Goddess, please protect Xiao Yuan from death. I am willing to shorten my own lifespan..."
Then, after thinking for a moment, I realized, "Never mind, I'd rather not eat spicy food for a year."
… …
Training in the drill ground began quickly, and even as the door to the punishment room closed, the shouts could still be heard clearly.
The louder the sound, the quieter the room became. Ji Linyuan clasped his hands together, stared down at the silver ring on Si Jin's waist, and was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.
After several attempts to find the right words, Si Jin spoke first: "You're eyeing me?"
"I……"
"Tell me, in the world you dream of, what exactly do you want to do with me..." Si Jin paused, then continued, "What do you want to do?"
