Fan Ziru imagined herself as the female lead, and imagined He Yunxiao betraying her feelings, and she hated him to the core.
She used all her martial arts skills and attacked He Yunxiao without mercy, successfully forcing him to retreat step by step, leaving him in a sorry state.
If I retreat any further, I'll be on the edge of a cliff. If I deliver the final blow, I can kill this heartless man!
The thrill of avenging her great grudge made Fan Ziruo walk faster and unleash her palm strikes even more quickly.
Until she looked up and saw He Yunxiao open his arms, offering her his chest without reservation, and then smiling gently at her.
It's as if he's saying to her: Ziruo, I love you, I'd give my life for you, as long as you're happy.
Fan Ziruo suddenly felt like crying, and suddenly she didn't hate He Yunxiao as much anymore.
She didn't want him to die, so she quickly withdrew her palm strike. But the momentum had already been generated, so she could only go with the flow and crash headfirst into He Yunxiao's arms.
He Yunxiao raised his hands, looking at the girl whose head was buried in his body.
I don't know what to say.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 55 to 65.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 65 to 75.
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has decreased from 75 to 55.
...
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 59 to 60.
Seeing that the favorability rating was gradually stabilizing, He Yunxiao carefully patted her shoulder, trying not to make any unnecessary movements, lest this suspicious girl wipe out all the favorability he had worked so hard to gain.
"Zi Ruo."
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 60 to 61.
He Yunxiao: Holy crap, did the sun rise in the west? Calling her more affectionately actually increased my favorability rating?
"Um."
"Um, shouldn't we end this sparring session now?"
"Um."
Now, with her head buried in He Yunxiao's body, Fan Ziruo no longer showed the panic and shyness she had at the beginning.
She was utterly mortified when she rushed into He Yunxiao's arms.
She didn't even dare to lift her head, clinging to He Yunxiao's clothes like a little hamster, hiding her bright red face tightly in his arms.
Steam was rising from his head as he thought wildly.
It wasn't until she noticed that He Yunxiao showed her no disrespect whatsoever, but instead remained silent and quiet, his hands behaving respectfully without any movement, that she felt safe and able to rest peacefully in his arms.
This is quite different from He Yunxiao's usual reputation for being "a womanizer".
Fan Ziruo recalled what Du Yinyun had said: "Don't make trouble for yourself or overthink things."
Thinking about this, it was only now that she gradually calmed down and her emotions stabilized.
She carefully recalled He Yunxiao's actions and interactions with her during this time and discovered that He Yunxiao was actually a true gentleman.
He is far superior to many hypocrites who are full of knowledge but pretend to be virtuous.
He Yunxiao is highly skilled in martial arts, loves learning, acts cautiously and decisively, and is shrewd but doesn't easily reveal his true nature. Moreover, he is helpful, witty, and humorous; even if you throw yourself into his arms, he can remain unmoved.
Recalling He Yunxiao's past outrageous behavior, coupled with the increasingly absurd rumors about him, Fan Ziruo easily concluded that this young master of the Marquis's mansion was deliberately trying to tarnish his reputation.
It's not uncommon for people to hide their talents.
He Yuanhao's achievements and strength are comparable to those of General Chu back then. If He Yunxiao were also a dragon among men, he would surely attract resentment.
The more Fan Ziruo thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and the more alarmed she became.
She felt some regret, regretting that she had misunderstood He Yunxiao.
At this moment, He Yunxiao's voice came: "Ziruo, shouldn't we end this sparring session?"
It was time to end it, but Fan Ziruo was used to lying in He Yunxiao's arms and was reluctant to leave.
Staying is not an option, since they are only "teacher and student," not "husband and wife."
Fan Ziruo released her grip on He Yunxiao's clothes, her expression unchanged, and naturally took two steps back.
Remembering what Du Yinyun had told her, she took the initiative to say to He Yunxiao, "Young Master He, this is just a martial arts practice. Don't overthink it."
He Yunxiao: ?
That's strange.
Why do I feel like she took advantage of me for free?
The two sat down again and continued discussing the novel for a while. Then, seeing that it was almost time, He Yunxiao, amidst Fan Ziruo's enthusiastic discussion, ended today's study session in the study.
"Ziruo, it's getting late. I won't disturb you any longer today."
Fan Ziruo reluctantly stood up and said, "Let me see you off, young master."
Fan Ziruo escorted He Yunxiao to the side gate of the Deer Horn Academy. The two walked slowly without exchanging a single word.
We reached the door; it was time to leave.
"Zi..."
"Young Master!"
They spoke at the same time.
He Yunxiao said awkwardly, "You go first."
Fan Ziruo said, "Young Master, I learned a lot from practicing martial arts today. I've been thinking about it and I'm planning to rewrite a novel."
He Yunxiao recalled Fan Ziruo's appalling novel and said, "That's a good thing."
Fan Ziruo smiled and asked, "What would you like to say, young master?"
He Yunxiao: I want to ask you, which period are you teaching tomorrow?
But given the atmosphere, He Yunxiao ultimately refrained from saying anything that would spoil the mood.
"Last time, Miss Du read your novel first. This time, I'd like to be the first to read it. Is that alright?"
Fan Ziruo's favorability rating has increased from 61 to 66.
"Um."
"Ziruo, I'm leaving now."
"Please wait, young master."
Fan Ziruo stood at the side gate of the Fan residence, slowly watching He Yunxiao walk away. She turned to go back, but He Yunxiao's voice rang in her ears again.
