Just as Xi Xingxue's hand touched Xie Yin's hand...
Suddenly, a strong force pulled Xi Xingxue over, her chest pressed against Xie Yin's back.
Their bodies were pressed together, their warmth flowing between them, creating a position where Xie Yin was sitting in Xi Xingxue's arms.
Xi Xingxue was initially shocked. Why had Xie Yin suddenly become so proactive? Wasn't he supposed to be filled with hatred, almost reaching 18,000 points?
Then, feeling his broad back, Xi Xingxue, who was barely able to encircle him, fell silent again.
Why is someone with a weak and frail appearance so tall?!
He refused.
Xie Yin had already prepared to abandon the path of becoming the Crown Prince and instead take the path through Xi Xingxue.
He took Xi Xingxue's hand and wrapped it around himself, exhaling suggestive breaths.
"My lord, are you sure you want to stay here with me...?"
Xi Xingxue had never known that Xie Yin was so alluring.
No wonder he's the most handsome man in the capital.
Ye Chenxing came in second, and Qi Jinzhao came in third.
But now that he's here, he should be able to compete with Xie Yin for first place, right?
Xie Yin called out to him, "My lord... are you stunned?"
Xi Xingxue continued, "This... is the reward for bringing you to the banquet?"
Xie Yin laughed, his voice as clear and crisp as pearls falling on stones: "That's not all, Grand Preceptor."
Having said that, Xie Yin turned around, revealing his handsome face. His eyes were clear and bright, and his face, flushed with a blush, became somewhat sensual and exceptionally captivating, like a blank sheet of paper covered in paint, layer by layer, little by little, blossoming with ultimate beauty.
Xie Yin put his hands on Xi Xingxue's shoulders and leaned closer to her.
As he lowered his head, their black hair intertwined, adding an even more enchanting atmosphere to the carriage space.
Xie Yin completely abandoned his pride and took the initiative to offer a kiss.
Just as their lips were about to meet, Xie Yin whispered, "Grand Preceptor, I've caught a cold. Are you afraid?"
Xi Xingxue was slightly taken aback. Of course he was afraid; who wanted to catch a cold?
Moreover, he had no intention of taking someone else's place.
Now, we need to find a way to stall for time until Qi Jinchao arrives.
Thinking of this, Xi Xingxue said softly, "Of course I'm not afraid. After all, you are beautiful, have a sweet tongue, and are so good at seducing people. There is no one else as good as you in the whole capital. So how could I be afraid of a mere cold?"
In order to buy time, Xi Xingxue prolonged the conversation as much as possible.
Logically speaking, these words were not appropriate to praise someone who had once been a prince. Xi Xingxue could imagine the anger hidden in Xie Yin's eyes.
However, perhaps because Xie Yin acted so well, he didn't see even a trace of anger in Xie Yin's eyes, but rather a hint of emotion.
Xie Yin pressed his forehead against Xi Xingxue's, his eyes revealing a deep and unfathomable emotion.
Just as the two were about to kiss.
The carriage suddenly stopped, interrupting them.
"My lord, it's His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The servant told Xi Xingxue.
Upon hearing this, Xi Xingxue feigned reluctance to part with Xie Yin and pushed him away.
However, Xie Yin remained clinging to his shoulders, motionless.
"grown ups."
Xi Xingxue coughed lightly and turned her gaze away: "Alright, little vixen, the Crown Prince is here."
Xie Yin's eyes flashed, then he smiled and said, "It's alright, this is our carriage."
Xi Xingxue: "......"
If that attacker saw this, he'd explode.
The system told him that the upcoming storyline was this level, where the Crown Prince saw Xie Yin in the Imperial Advisor's carriage and felt pity for him.
Xi Xingxue didn't know how to make Qi Jinzhao feel compassion, but he knew that if Qi Jinzhao saw Xie Yin's proactive manner, he wouldn't feel any compassion.
Thinking of this, he wanted to push Xie Yin away.
But before they could even open the curtains a little, they were pulled back, and the tall and imposing Qi Jinzhao rode on horseback, looking at them.
Xi Xingxue and Xie Yin turned their heads and met his gaze.
Qi Jinzhao, having witnessed the erotic scene inside the carriage, parted his thin lips slightly: "Oh? You're making a public display of..."
The spring breeze dispelled some of the sinister aura about him, making his face, glowing with a warm halo in the sunlight, appear handsome and dazzling, less of his unapproachable arrogance.
Xi Xingxue didn't rush to speak.
Because now it's Xie Yin and Qi Jinzhao's turn to have their scenes.
Xie Yin looked at Qi Jinzhao, his expression somewhat frozen.
The two were former colleagues, but now, with the world changing, he has become a pawn of the state and has no choice but to resort to some underhanded means to move forward.
His disheveled appearance, leaning against Xi Xingxue, truly resembled that of a male concubine.
The crown prince, however, remained aloof, looking down at them with an air of superiority.
Xie Yin suddenly wanted to gouge out those eyes; after all, why were they looking at him like that?
Qi Jinzhao also glanced at Xie Yin and saw indifference in his eyes. He then looked away, not feeling particularly interested, and turned to look at Xi Xingxue.
"Grand Preceptor, why do you not bow to me?"
He glanced at Xi Xingxue's half-open collar with an inscrutable expression, where the snow-white skin was visible.
When Xi Xingxue felt that gaze, she thought of the original text, in which the Crown Prince originally liked his type. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her collarbone and raised her hand to smooth it out.
He rudely pushed Xie Yin away, stood up, and slowly bowed to the Crown Prince.
"Greetings, Your Highness. May I ask what brings you here?"
Looking around, one can see that they have already left the palace and are now halfway there.
Qi Jinzhao understood the power of the plot, but he had to put on an act.
