◎Fuck, he is indeed a sinister villain!◎
The man's wide robe still retained a faint warmth from his body. It covered An Jiu's shoulders, bringing a burst of warmth and dispelling the coldness around him.
Pei Ji was tall, and even though his legs were disabled and he had difficulty walking, he was by no means thin.
When the outer robe was put down, it was like a small tent, covering An Jiu's entire body. Because she was curled up and squatting, the hem of the robe dragged directly on the ground.
She sniffed lightly and smelled a strong medicinal aroma.
The scent lingered in her snow-white clothes, and it was even more obvious when he leaned over to put her robe on.
People who know the business will know at once that this fragrance is not accidentally acquired, but the result of years of companionship with herbs, which allows the fragrance to be integrated into the clothes carried by the body, and the medicinal scent can be smelled in every move.
Such people are either ill or are doctors.
An Jiu coughed lightly a few times, as if being rushed. She put her slender fingers to the tip of her nose and said deliberately, "Fei Yi, you smell so strongly of medicine."
The man in white had just sat back down when he paused when he heard this.
After a brief silence, he said calmly, "I was injured a few days ago and applied some medicine on my wounds. I accidentally let the girl notice it."
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you -1, currently -102. ]
An Jiu: "..."
Isn't this person too petty? Isn't it just a reminder that his clothes smell? Why is he deducting his favorability?
An Jiu was too weak to complain, but fortunately she was broad-minded and did not care about this mere point of favorability.
Anyway, it's -102. Too many lice won't itch, and too many debts won't worry you.
She complained in her heart but remained calm, and asked excitedly: "Fei Yi, why are you wearing a mask? What do you look like? Can I see it?"
The girl who had recovered gradually revealed her bold nature. She opened her big black eyes, and even though she had nearly been in danger not long ago, she was lively at this moment as if there was no trace of gloom.
Pei Ji was obviously going to play a scene with her where a handsome young man saved a young lady in distress, and he patiently explained, "I have some enemies in the martial arts world, and I wear a mask all day to prevent revenge. Therefore, it is inconvenient for me to reveal my true face in front of others. Please forgive me, young lady."
This is a good excuse and the lie comes easily to him.
"Then I won't watch it." An Jiu waved his hands repeatedly, very considerate, but couldn't help but worry, "How can I find you in the future? A drop of water should be repaid with a spring. You saved me, I won't be an ungrateful person!"
The girl frowned and her cheeks were slightly puffed, which made her look inexplicably frank and cute.
For example, the spoiled little daughter of a wealthy family had never left the house, but because she read too many storybooks outside, she also learned to behave like a chivalrous man.
The man in white glanced at her. As a martial artist, he had sharper ears and eyes than ordinary people. Even in the dark, he could see the girl's expression clearly.
His expression was gloomy and unclear, and he spoke slowly and steadily: "Miss, you don't have to thank me. It's just a small favor. I think anyone who sees injustice will help."
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you -1, currently -103. ]
An Jiu was completely stunned. What was the reason for this good impression?
It seems that she didn't say anything to offend him just now, right?
An Jiu couldn't figure it out, but she couldn't show any strangeness. Pei Ji was a treacherous person, who knew what he was thinking. If he deducted a few more points from her, she might as well not do the task.
Her eyes flashed, and she quickly lowered her head and searched her body. Unfortunately, she had fallen asleep when she was abducted, and some of her accessories had already been removed. After searching for a long time, she finally pulled out a milky white jade pendant from her neck.
An Jiu took off the jade pendant and handed it to the man in white: "This is for you."
The man in white did not move. He looked at the jade pendant from behind his mask and asked in a puzzled tone, "What do you mean, young lady?"
An Jiu puffed up her cheeks and said seriously, "Since you don't want to reveal your identity, then take this jade pendant. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me. My name is An Jiu, the daughter of Shangshu An. I can help you solve any problems."
The man in white: "Why would the daughter of Minister An come to Jiufang City?"
After hearing this, the girl seemed to be angry and embarrassed. She pulled the man's hand and stuffed the jade pendant into his palm.
He muttered, "Don't you believe me? I said yes, I'm here to visit relatives. Who said that the daughter of Minister An can't come to Jiufang City?"
The voice was very small, like a complaint, but it could be heard clearly.
The man held a thumb-sized jade pendant between his fingers. The white jade was warm and delicate, and the material was excellent. Since the girl had been wearing it close to her body, it was stained with her body temperature, bringing a touch of warmth in this cold spring night.
Faintly, he seemed to smell a sweet fragrance, as fresh as flowers and fruits.
An Jiu was very pleased with herself, thinking that this action would definitely win her favor. The arrogant but straightforward girl, who was foolishly expressing her gratitude to her lifesaver, would be liked by anyone who saw her.
However, the next moment, a series of electronic sounds rang in my mind.
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +1, currently -102. ]
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you is -2, currently -104. ]
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you +1...]
[Pei Ji's favorability towards you -2...]
【……】
The favorability reminders were like crazy, +1-2 repeated several times, her brain was about to explode.
"Fuck, Pei Ji is crazy? Is he sick? He's not even moved by this?" An Jiu couldn't believe it.
When I read books outside, I think the characters of these dark and crazy people are very attractive, but when I really get along with such unpredictable people, I really just want to escape.
She had no idea what he was thinking. It was like she was stepping on a time bomb. She didn't know when she said something wrong and he would deduct points from her in his mind.
For example, now, An Jiu thinks that his performance is perfect.
Although it is unclear how the real Anjiu would treat her savior, any normal person would definitely not feel any resentment based on her behavior just now.
So, it must be Pei Ji who is abnormal.
An Jiu felt dizzy and endured the dinging notification sound in his mind. He poked the system hard: "System, can this favorability notification be turned off?"
If she didn't turn it off, she suspected that Pei Ji would kill her tonight.
【Can. 】
[Do you want to turn off the favorability reminder? You may miss the reminder after turning it off, please choose carefully. 】
“Yes, yes, yes!”
After a "beep" sound, the mechanical sound circling in An Jiu's mind suddenly disappeared, and she let out a sigh of relief.
After she let out a sigh of relief, she subconsciously looked towards the man in white not far away. The other party didn't seem to notice her abnormality just now, and still looked down at the jade pendant in his hand. She didn't know whether she pretended well or he was just uneasy.
After just a short while, An Jiu felt exhausted.
It is too difficult to deal with the villain. It tests both her acting skills and her psychological endurance. She is really tired.
Forget it, there’s still a long way to go to find strategies and stuff.
Anyway, we can see the protagonists at dawn.
An Jiu simply sat on the ground, with Pei Ji's white robe under his butt, so he wasn't cold.
In the darkness, she adjusted her facial expressions, and with a little trepidation in her voice, she asked the man in white: "Fei Yi, are you... sleepy?"
The pride of an eldest lady does not allow An Jiu to show weakness. Even if she is sleepy, she will not say that she wants to sleep.
The man in white raised his head slightly and turned to look in her direction.
The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a slight uneasiness came into view.
After a moment of silence, a calm and gentle male voice came from behind the mask, giving people a full sense of security: "Miss An, please go to sleep. I will not leave tonight."
An Jiu then closed her eyes with peace of mind and leaned against the wall next to her, ready to fall asleep. She was actually not worried at all, and her previous uneasiness was just a pretense.
His vision fell into darkness, but something like an electronic screen was floating in his consciousness.
There is a line of words written on it: [Strategy target Pei Ji, the current favorability towards you is -100. ]
Wow, it finally came up a little.
Although it only increased by 3 points, it also showed that her strategy was effective.
An Jiu suddenly relaxed, her mind relaxed, and fatigue swept over her. After so many things happened tonight, she was already exhausted, and she was just forcing herself to act with Pei Ji.
A strong sense of sleepiness surged into An Jiu's heart, and she gradually fell into a half-asleep and half-awake state. However, deep in her consciousness, she remained awake and calculated the time.
About half a minute later, she struggled to open her eyes and looked towards the location of the man in white.
Her movement was very small, and it was late at night, so it was almost imperceptible to ordinary people. However, the fingertips of the man in white on his knees moved slightly, and he looked at her keenly.
"Fei Yi... you, please don't leave..."
The girl's voice was unclear, because she was too sleepy and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. If you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it clearly.
Only when she saw the figure sitting in the darkness did she feel at ease. Her long eyelashes slowly fell, covering the pair of bright eyes.
Even when she fell asleep, she always slept restlessly, waking up from a deep sleep from time to time, and always looking at him in a daze to make sure he was still there. Only when she saw that he was still there, she would fall asleep peacefully again.
Visible dependence.
An Jiu did not sleep well that night and woke up several times. Until the dawn of the second half of the night, she could not control herself and allowed herself to fall into a deep sleep.
It is impossible for Pei Ji to appear in front of Lin Qingyan as "Fei Yi". When daybreak comes, he will turn back into the genius doctor Pei Ji. She has to give him a chance to change back.
Sure enough, when An Jiu was awakened by the crisp sound of birds singing outside the temple the next morning, he opened his sleepy eyes and saw that the man in white was no longer in the temple.
The man in white who came in the middle of the night seemed to be just a dream of hers.
But An Jiu understood that everything that happened last night was not a dream, and the flower thief was still lying on the ground unconscious.
She walked up to the flower thief, squatted down and felt his breath.
He was still breathing, not dead, but he was unconscious for some reason. An Jiu kicked him hard twice, but he didn't respond.
She guessed that Pei Ji must have poisoned him. The book said that Pei Ji liked to kill people with poison. Even after he mastered magical skills, he did not often use poison, but killed people invisibly.
The author also specifically explained that Pei Ji is a sinister villain with a dark mentality who has nothing to do with being upright and honest, and he only loves to use despicable means.
Having escaped a fatal disaster, An Jiu was in a good mood as his life was still tied to Pei Ji's and he didn't have to worry about his life safety.
She stood up, breathing in the slightly cool fresh air after the rain, and poked the system: "System, report Pei Ji's favorability."
She works so hard all night, even acting when she's asleep, so she should get a raise, right?
[The target of the strategy is Pei Ji, whose current favorability towards you is -111. ]
An Jiu: "???"
Damn, he is indeed a sinister villain!
