This is Li Pei, the male protagonist of the original book.
"Speechless? Or are you afraid to admit it?" Li Pei questioned her.
Seeing that Lin Qixia didn't have the shy expression she usually showed when she saw him, but instead stared at him with a calm look in her eyes, Li Pei felt strange.
However, he quickly thought of Gu Ciyu's situation and said coldly to Lin Qixia, "Someone as vicious as you, I will never be fond of you, not even in this life or the next. I advise you to give up on that idea and stop bothering Ayu!"
Lin Qixia was not annoyed by the fair-skinned young man with a slightly scholarly air in front of her.

The scenery along the way was beautiful, which made her feel even better.
