Chapter 5

Chapter 5

I told Lin Feizhi that since we aren’t very well-acquainted yet, we should spend more time together to cultivate our feelings first, and choose a date for the wedding once an emotional bond is established.

Evidently, this concept was a bit too ahead of its time for Lin Feizhi.

Nonetheless, he agreed.

This was because I had found him a good job.

Naive Lin Feizhi didn’t yet realize that every gift from the heavens already has a price tag attached.

His body was already my prize!

I used the excuse of having him tutor me.

Thus, he began coming to the Princess’s Mansion every day.

Lin Feizhi took scholarship very seriously; he was always focused and attentive while lecturing me.

I was also very focused-focused on staring at him.

Then, he would use the scroll in his hand to slightly shield his face, revealing only the faint red at the tips of his ears.

Man, are you trying to attract my attention this way?

Well done, you’ve succeeded!

I’ve been in this world for a month now, and I, a PO novel female protagonist, haven’t even tasted any meat yet.

I thought that by facing each other every day, I would definitely have Lin Feizhi conquered within three days.

To my surprise, it’s already been five days, and I’ve only just managed to touch his hand-and that was only by having him teach me how to write.

His knuckles were rough. The moment he placed his hand over mine, he pulled away like he’d been struck by lightning.

I grabbed his hand and looked at him with a beaming smile.

According to my past experience, this was the moment Lin Feizhi should have kissed me.

Yet, to my surprise, after a long moment of stalemate, he actually pushed me away.

He pushed me away.

I was genuinely speechless.

There’s definitely something wrong with Lin Feizhi.

“Princess, your humble servant has overstepped.”

He bowed to me.

I mean, does everyone in this ‘clean’ world just have children pop out of thin air?

Can we really not have any ‘this and that’ in the plot?

I can’t take it anymore. At this rate, how am I ever going to get Lin Feizhi?

At that moment, I had a sudden flash of inspiration. I remembered that I was following the ‘forceful possession’ route.

Right.

This is a story of forceful possession! Why am I being so coy with him?

So, I tilted his chin up directly: “Lin Feizhi, remember clearly who I am.”

As he looked on in shock, I quickly pressed my lips against his.

It was a total surprise attack.

He froze for a second. Humiliation and shock, mixed with a hint of shyness, painted a vibrant shade of red across his face. It was truly a sight to behold.

But he quickly regained his composure, lowering his head. “Yes.”

He seemed a bit aggrieved.

Damn it, that makes him even more alluring.

Ever since that day, I became even more audacious.

I demanded that Lin Feizhi serve me tea with his lips.

I insisted that the hand he used for writing be the one to paint my distant mountain brows.

I required the hand he used for composing poetry to tie up the black hair draped over my shoulders.

At first, he was naturally unwilling.

If I pushed too hard, he would find an excuse not to come to the Princess’s Mansion for two or three days.

But it never exceeded three days before he would reappear in the mansion, looking calm and indifferent once more.

He wore the sky-blue robes I had chosen for him, the jade crown I had gifted him on his head, and the jade pendant I had given him hanging from his waist.

He would just stand there quietly, his willow-leaf eyes as still as an ancient well.

Handsome as a man from a painting.

He didn’t have to say a word.

I forgave him instantly.

Sigh, beauty really is a dangerous distraction.
