"I'm here. What are you going to do about it?" Xiao Yan walked over with a smile. Every time he saw her gentle and delicate appearance, he couldn't help but want to tease her.
"I... I'm here to see Sister Cao. Could you move aside?" Dan Chen looked at Xiao Yan with a wronged expression.
This guy was not only thick-skinned and bold but also a social terrorist, a natural nemesis for those with social anxiety. And on top of that, he was talented and had a powerful background. Even her grandfather couldn't do anything about him.
"Your Sister Cao is sleeping. Go back," Xiao Yan waved his hand and chuckled at Dan Chen. "Come on, I'll walk you home."
"No, no need!" Dan Chen took a step back, craned her neck to carefully examine the space behind Xiao Yan, and cautiously turned around after confirming that Cao Ying hadn't appeared.
She moved her small feet lightly, but heard footsteps following behind her.
"It's over!" Dan Chen's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"How interesting," Xiao Yan said, watching her walk quickly ahead with her head down, like a startled little rabbit.
In her boudoir, Cao Ying opened her eyes, a single tear mole clinging to the corner of her eye, adding a touch of bewitching allure to her already captivating face.
Her delicate face rested on her arm as she quietly replayed everything that had happened that day.
Thinking of Xiao Yan's handsome face, which held a hint of roguishness, a smile she didn't even realize she was wearing curved Cao Ying's lips.
"Genius? Monster?" Indeed, his talent was monstrous, to the point that it made even her feel somewhat desperate.
"Rogue? Bandit? Young master from a noble family?" These might be his true nature, but they could also be a mask. From a woman's instincts, Cao Ying could clearly sense that beneath Xiao Yan's various images, there seemed to be a trace of undetectable loneliness.
"Who exactly are you?" The effects of the Heart Protecting Pill were gradually taking hold, making Cao Ying's body feel warm. Unknowingly, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
She, who was still inexperienced, didn't know that when a woman started to feel curious about a man and often thought about him, it was often a dangerous sign.
The boudoir was filled with a lingering fragrance, and a beauty lay on her bed, unaware that a story was about to unfold from this very place.
"Tat-tat-tat." Dan Chen's footsteps quickened, but she still couldn't hear the sound of footsteps disappearing behind her.
"What on earth do you want?!" She grew angrier and angrier, and like a startled kitten, she suddenly turned around.
"Plump!" A sturdy chest slammed into her small face, almost knocking her over.
She was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, a full head shorter than Xiao Yan. The reason she hadn't fallen was that a hand had wrapped around her slender waist.
So thin, so soft! Xiao Yan endured the feeling of his soul being electrocuted as he helped her up.
"You… can you please stop following me?" Dan Chen pushed Xiao Yan away fiercely, her peach blossom eyes reddening, with traces of water welling up in her crystal-like eyes.
If she weren't no match for Xiao Yan, even with her introverted personality, she would have fought this lecher.
An uncle could endure, but an aunt couldn't!
"Oh ho, are you about to cry!" Seeing this, Xiao Yan not only didn't apologize, but instead pressed forward, forcing the girl against the wall.
"What's wrong? Want to cry? Go ahead and cry," he said with a grin, like a delinquent in class teasing the prettiest girl.
Seeing this devil's unrestrained behavior, Dan Chen finally couldn't hold back. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and she began to sob softly. If other men saw her tear-stained face, their hearts would probably break.
Unfortunately, she'd met Xiao Yan. What kind of person was Xiao Yan?
A scumbag!
What's the core of a scumbag? Not sweet talk, nor eloquence, but a heart of stone!
Only after having a heart of stone can one have the capital to dominate the world of love, not be swayed by the emotions of others, and stand undefeated.
"Waaah!" The little girl was crying, her face a mess of tears, but Xiao Yan remained unmoved. He just watched Dan Chen calmly. Only when Dan Chen stopped sobbing did he take out a handkerchief and slightly bow.
"Are you done crying?" His voice was very gentle, and his eyes were also very gentle as he handed the handkerchief to Dan Chen.
"What do you want, following me around all this time?" Dan Chen took a silk scarf and wiped her swollen, tear-filled eyes.
"I just like you," Xiao Yan said, almost making Dan Chen cry again.
"Can you... can you not like me?" Dan Chen looked at Xiao Yan, feeling wronged, and received an affirmative reply.
"No!"
"From the moment I saw you, I was smitten," Xiao Yan's words made the girl's face flush red. But the attack hadn't ended; a delicate flower had somehow appeared in his hand.
It was a purple jasmine, its petals a deep purple like the night, with specks of starlight scattered across them, like a starry river.
The Starry Purple Jasmine. It grew where starlight gathered, blooming only once every thousand years, and was a precious medicinal ingredient sought after by many Grade 7 alchemists.
Xiao Yan reached out and placed the precious flower, worth far more than a million gold coins, in Dan Chen's black hair, then slowly leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "From today on, you're my little wife!"
Warm air puffed from his mouth, landing on the girl's delicate ear, making her shiver.
Immediately following, a wave of redness visible to the naked eye rose from her snow-white neck, spreading all the way to her forehead.
Looking at the girl's face, flushed enough to bleed, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
Ignoring Xiao Yan, who was laughing heartily, Dan Chen sat on the ground, her eyes blank, her brain having entered a state of shutdown.
Unlike Cao Ying, who was confident and alluring, even when Xiao Yan teased her, she would only blush slightly.
Although she was born in the Dan Clan and possessed the innate Ancient Spiritual Physique, and was doted on by the elders, no one dared to get close to her because of her physique.
Her peers only showed reverence and fear when they saw her, which shaped her introverted and timid personality. Now, after being teased by Xiao Yan, she had completely entered a state of bewilderment.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan didn't do anything else, just sat on the ground and watched her with a smile.
After sitting there for half a day, Dan Chen finally came back to her senses. She looked at Xiao Yan with a mix of委屈 and bewilderment and asked, "Can I go home now?"
"You've been on your way home this whole time. I'll walk you back." Xiao Yan stood up and reached out to her, but the little girl stood up on her own.
However, this time she didn't avoid Xiao Yan. She just walked along, her little face alternately pale and flushed, lost in thought. The dignified Doulings stumbled several times.
Xiao Yan didn't speak either. He figured that no matter what he said, the girl wouldn't hear him, so he kept quiet.
They walked in silence until they reached the main gate. She then asked in a daze, "Are you coming in?"
"No need. I'm relieved knowing you're home safe." Xiao Yan said with some insincerity.
"Oh, can I go back now?" Dan Chen's mind was still buzzing, and she didn't quite understand what Xiao Yan had said.
"Go on." Xiao Yan smiled and watched the girl's figure gradually disappear. Only then did Xiao Yan turn around, satisfied.
Today's harvest was pretty good. I've managed to make a start on both of them. With this beginning, I just need to keep control of the situation.
The setting sun slowly disappeared into the night, its last rays painting the earth a fiery red. In the alleyway beneath the Dan Pagoda, a young man's complacent hum could be heard.
Writing about picking up girls is really a brain-burner. After holding it in all afternoon, I finally got it out. If any Casanovas out there think this level isn't good enough, feel free to give me some pointers. I'll learn a thing or two.
There's another chapter coming at dawn. Remember to flip to the last page and give your boy a read-through. This thing is related to whether I can get a recommendation next week. Thanks, brothers!
