“…” Even as she stared at the delicacies before her, Ji Fengyan had completely lost her appetite.

“You don’t like this?” Xing Lou asked doubtfully after noticing that Ji Fengyan was not reaching for her food.

Ji Fengyan felt an oncoming headache. She rubbed the ridges of her brow and turned in seriousness toward Xing Lou. He sat so close to her that she could see herself reflected in his eyes.

In the flickering light, Xing Lou’s aloof yet seductive eyes felt like a gentle gust of wind stroking Ji Fengyan’s heart.

“Grand Tutor, you… need not do this.” Ji Fengyan struggled to find her voice.

She refused to be bewitched by his physical charms!

Xing Lou frowned slightly, confusion clouding his eyes.

“Do what?”

Ji Fengyan pointed at the food before her.

Xing Lou glanced at the food and then back at her. He said as a matter-of-fact, “I remember that you are not used to these things.” Xing Lou gave a light tap on the fork and knife.

Ji Fengyan felt like she was being teased…

She could only lower her head and keep silent, and just focus on eating… eating…

She would be free the moment she finished her food. Ji Fengyan finally understood she simply could not communicate with Xing Lou.

Unfortunately, she was too naïve.

Right from the start, Xing Lou hadn’t eaten a single bite. He just sat at the side gazing at a certain someone that behaved like a hamster, stuffing food into her mouth in a frenzied manner.

However, as fast as Ji Fengyan ate, the food on her plate appeared undiminished.

Every time she was just about to finish the food, Xing Lou would transfer a new batch of carefully sliced portions onto her plate…

An inexhaustible supply.

Ji Fengyan’s stomach capacity was reaching its limits.

“Enough”. As Xing Lou prepared to replenish her plate yet again, Ji Fengyan finally couldn’t stand it any longer and raised her hand to stop him.

“I can’t eat… burp … anymore.” Ji Fengyan had never felt so full in her life.

Xing Lou chuckled.

This was the first time Ji Fengyan saw Xing Lou’s smile.

It was akin to the blooming of wild lilies-of-the-valley under the moonlight.

She never knew anyone’s smile could be so gorgeous.

Ji Fengyan was actually mesmerized.

Xing Lou’s smile was like a flowering Queen of the Night—rare and fleeting. Abruptly, he noticed that Ji Fengyan’s bright eyes were staring at him. Seeing himself in the depths of her eyes, one and only…

As if spurred by the gods, Xing Lou felt an impulse. He was slowly drawn towards his own reflection in those eyes.

Nearer and nearer.

His thin lips suddenly came into light contact with that moist red mouth, its softness triggering such an overwhelming passion that made Xing Lou’s gaze become even more profound.

That moment startled Ji Fengyan to her senses.

A loud bang!

Ji Fengyan was so shocked that she had leaped up from her chair. She stared incredulously at Xing Lou, who was leaning forward slightly.

A tingling sensation lingered on her lips.

Xing Lou raised his head to look at the flustered Ji Fengyan. In contrast, his own eyes held not a thread of apprehension but was instead full of longing and desire.

He liked the feeling of kissing her.

His heart had never felt such a burning sensation like before.

“If this is the gratitude you are looking for, there is no need for Grand Tutor to help me again in the future.” Ji Fengyan’s voice suddenly resonated in Xing Lou’s ear. That cold, harsh tone instantly dragged Xing Lou out of his enchanted state.

It was then Xing Lou realized that Ji Fengyan’s eyes had turned extremely frosty—it was a chilliness that he had never experienced before—guarded and full of rage.
