Lin Feilu quickened her pace, “I’m glad you understood that then! Go away, don’t follow me!”
But no matter how fast she walked, Xi Xingjiang still followed her leisurely even though she used Qinggong at some point. He even praised her, “Your Qinggong has made great progress.”
Lin Feilu lost her temper and gave him a dark look, “Xi Xingjiang, do you know that you will not be able to marry if you keep this up?”
Xi Xingjiang squinted at her, “Nonsense.”
Lin Feilu said earnestly, “Look at your group of buddies who played with you all day— among them, who hasn’t been destined to marry yet? Even if they haven’t gotten a main wife, they’ve at least had a room of side wives and concubines by now. My brother Crown Prince is a year younger than you are, but he’s already married as of now. Don’t you feel embarrassed when you look at them?”
Xi Xingjiang’s ears suddenly turned red, and he retorted, “What is there to be embarrassed about?! I’m doing this because I’m waiting for-“
But before he finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at her fiercely.
Lin Feilu waited for a long time without speaking before turning her head and asking in a low voice, “What are you waiting for? You can’t possibly be waiting for me?”
His neck was now an even darker shade of red. As if his teeth were clenched, he choked out two words while she looked at him calmly, “Can’t you?”
Lin Feilu said, “Don’t wait for me. There will be no result.”
Xi Xingjiang, “?”
As if he had gone slightly insane, his supposedly heroic facial features twisted and morphed into an expression of anger. He raised his head and said, “Then give me back my jade pendant! Now!”
Lin Feilu said, “Not now, it’s not with me now…”
Xi Xingjiang gritted his teeth and interrupted her words, “You must give it back to me now! You are not allowed to give it back to me anytime else!”
Lin Feilu looked indifferent as she replied, “The jade pendant is with Noble Consort Xi; get it from her if you want to.”
Xi Xingjiang’s blushing face turned pale. The young man’s intentions to bother her quickly faded away, leaving only a helpless and pale expression on his face.
Lin Feilu looked at him for a while with slight unberability in her heart. This was kind of like flirting with a high school student and then abandoning him, so it didn’t really sit right with her conscience.
She sighed and lowered her voice, “Let’s leave it at that then. Stop fussing over this in the future.”
Xi Xingjiang pursed his lips and looked at her fixedly.
Lin Feilu was about to leave when she heard him say, “Little Lu, do you already have someone you like in your heart?”
A figure flashed in Lin Feilu’s mind for a moment but she rejected the thought as quickly as it surfaced.
They’re all young students; stop being a pedophile!
She replied, “No.”
Xi Xingjiang asked in a rather hurt manner, “Then why did you reject me?”
Lin Feilu looked at him, sighed slightly in her heart, having no other choice but to take out the ultimate weapon of a typical green tea woman.
She blinked and said innocently, “I have always regarded you as my brother.”
Xi Xingjiang, “?”
Lin Feilu added another verbal knife stab, “Brother Viscount is just like Brother Crown Prince, Brother Jingyuan and Brother Lin Ting; I have regarded all of you as my good brothers.”
(Editor: Yeah, it’s the imaginary scene where a man gets imaginarily stabbed by imaginary knives which are formed by verbal statements, it hurts so bad that it feels worse than getting stabbed.)
Xi Xingjiang, “…”
How many good brothers do you have???
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, but after seeing Lin Feilu’s innocent and harmless eyes, Xi Xingjiang left in a state of despair.
He had always wanted her to call him ‘Brother Viscount’, but he never thought that he would forever be haunted by the way she said it as he left her.
Lin Feilu was sure that he would not follow her any longer, so she let out a sigh of relief and continued to walk towards the East Palace.
