Chapter 87: Infatuated

  Time slipped away quietly, and the sunset once again dominated the sky, scattering a mesmerizing orange-yellow hue, like an unending sorrow, which in the chilly wind all around, seemed to add a hint of desolation and oppression.

  Now I can only wait patiently for the good news from Sai Guangchen, as long as Feng Tuo Xu is willing to adopt his method, I can set foot on the journey again.

  In the temporary small house prepared by Sai Guangchen for himself, I was bored and painted ink paintings with a brush. Time passed one second at a time, but why didn't he show up yet?

  I heard a knock at the door and went to answer it. As a result, a short and small maid brought me a small box and said: "Madam, someone sent you something."

  "What's this for? Who is it?" I hadn't received anything, just a puzzled face asking the other party. As the saying goes, "no movement without receiving benefits", I wouldn't casually accept something from an unknown person. I always feel that if I'm not careful, it might turn into some unnecessary trouble, so it's better to be cautious.

  "This little thing is no longer clear." The maid shook her head and didn't wait for me to ask anything, directly stuffed the thing into my hands and then ran away.

  Looking at Yaya's thieving appearance, I always feel that this thing is definitely not a good thing, so I want to throw it away.

  But what if it's not something that will bring disaster, but a treasure? I don't know whether this thing is good or bad, so I think it's better not to take it, and with one hand, I lift it high and throw it out again.

  When the small box was flung far away, it crashed to the ground and split into two halves. A pair of red embroidered shoes fell out onto the floor.

  Is that embroidered shoes? I couldn't help but think of Feng Tung-hsu, he wouldn't be bored again, would he? And prepared a pair of small-sized embroidered shoes for me again? As I walked closer, it was indeed a pair of small embroidered shoes. I couldn't help but complain in my heart. Alas... what is he going to do with this plane again?

  It's really unbearable to see him play the nostalgia card again! So, I picked up the embroidered shoe on the ground and was about to find Feng Tung-hsu to settle the score.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, I saw Feng Tongxu walking over with a cold and composed face! It was indeed him, if it wasn't him, how would he suddenly appear? Moreover, apart from him, I couldn't think of anyone else who has a hobby of collecting small embroidered shoes!

  "Feng Tong Xu..."

  "Yan Li Rong..."

  I and Feng Tong Xu happened to be at the same time. With a fierce face, he called out the other's name, such a coincidence made me startled, wondering what was going on with him? He didn't even give me embroidered shoes before, now his attitude is so bad, his temper really isn't much better than that of Heng Jiao Zhu!

  "Give me back my broken shoes!" I glared at Feng Tongxu. Even under the moonlight, his silver hair shone with a faint silver glow, adding an otherworldly charm to him, but no matter how good-looking he was, it couldn't calm down the anger in my heart!

  Feng Tongxu looked at the shoes in my hand, sneered and asked: "Miss Yan is indeed very idle and likes to play hard to get. First, she took my treasured Mo Qianer's embroidered shoes, and now she's pretending to be nonchalant and returning them to me!"

  Regarding Feng Tung-hsu's inexplicable accusations, I was truly bewildered and poked his chest with my finger, interrogating him: "I took your shoes? Good heavens, what would I do with a pair of shoes that can't even be worn? Are you perverted to force them on me and still have the nerve to question me?"

  I really don't know what Feng Tongxu is trying to do. But I don't want to play along with him, I just want to leave quickly! His lingering thoughts of Mo Qian'er have nothing to do with me originally, but if it gets dragged onto my head, then don't blame me for having the urge to counterattack!

  "Don't pretend to be stupid with me, don't think I'm like her. You just want to make me your backup plan? Let me tell you, even if all the women in the world wanted to be your backup plan, but I, Yan Lirong, absolutely will not! I feel like the flames in my eyes are burning, as if I want to burn Feng Tongxu to ashes. But it's clear to me that I really don't want to provoke Feng Tongxu. Because I know that this world of Yi Jie doesn't belong to me, and one day I will have to leave!"

  And he, this extraordinary and charming leader of the Liuheng Sect, is not my cup of tea either! A man who has someone else in his heart, no matter how devoted to love he may be, I would never want him! Moreover, his utilitarianism often makes me feel very disgusted!

  Perhaps, as Cai Guanzhen said, Feng Tongxu also had people who treated him with sincerity, but what did that have to do with himself?

  Feng Tongxu's cold eyes flashed with a hint of strange light, but his voice sounded like it was squeezed out: "Very good..."

  He sounds very good, but there's a feeling like something is wrong, maybe he really doesn't feel comfortable!

  "I think, Sai Guangchen should have given you that doll that can replace me to help you with your illness, right? So, shouldn't you be able to let me leave now?" I looked at Feng Tongxu's displeased face but still couldn't resist asking tentatively. I was worried about my companions and had to leave as soon as possible to reunite with them. Although I didn't know if they wanted to see me or not, I really wanted to see them safe and sound!

  "Xie Guangchen?" Feng Tongxu shifted his gaze away from me, and in his eyes, a deep sadness took its place, like a lonely wild goose that flies high but remains solitary.

  However, I think it should be my own illusion, because isn't there a very capable Sai Kanchen by his side? It can't be denied that Sai Kanchen is really capable, not only does he have to temporarily manage the affairs of the school for Feng Tongxu, but also supervise the progress of my task.

  Except for the appearance of the masked man, Saichan was unable to guess, at other times he was doing his best to help me think of a way. Or, I should get used to it, actually Saichan is not omnipotent, but at least he should be willing to help me from the bottom of his heart!

  But why he wants to help me, that's what I couldn't figure out! Because I'm not anyone special to him, really can't understand it, or is it that he really treats me as a handsome summoner and wants to fully cooperate with and support me!

  "I had no idea that he, too, had learned these unconventional ways in recent years." Feng Tongxu's smile on his face grew even colder, as if mocking something. Was he ridiculing Sai Guangchen or was he ridiculing himself?

  "It doesn't matter if it's a left-hand path, as long as it works." I shook my head and countered Feng Tongxu's words. As long as there's a way to leave, even if it's an evil path, I'll support it with both hands and feet. After all, I'm not a reputable person in this world, so there's no need to talk about what's right or wrong!

  "Why do you want to look like her? But you're not stupid, you know you look alike, so you deliberately pretend to be different from her. However, your provocation makes me feel even more unforgettable..." Feng Tongxu's gaze returned to his own body, transforming from coldness to fervor, and such a stare made me feel uneasy.

  No... it shouldn't be like this, is it all because of my face that resembles Mo Qian'er's? If I didn't look like Mo Qian'er, would he stop pestering me? A flash of inspiration in her mind, yes, makeup!

  "If you want me to not be like her, I have a way!" I've already thought of what to do. Although I usually prefer a natural look, if this big trouble keeps bothering me, I can only think of a way to heavily make up myself so that I don't look like myself at all!

  I didn't wait for his response and immediately thought of leaving, because my top priority now is not to be like her!

  "Don't..." Feng Tuo Xu grasped my hand, stopping me from moving forward. He looked at my face with a worried expression and pleaded, "Please don't get any scars on your face..."

  I forced a bright smile at Feng Tuo Xu and said seriously: "Don't worry, I just want to draw a thick makeup, and then change my hairstyle... as long as I don't look like her, it's fine!"

  What a joke! I'd be stupid to get a tattoo on my own face. He really thinks my brain has gone soft, only knowing how to blow bubbles and not think at all!

  "I won't allow it!" With Feng Tuo Xu's thunderous roar, before I could even react, he actually pushed me against the pillar on the side.

  I instinctively raised my fists, shielding my chest, trying to stop his approach. However, he didn't care about my resistance and suddenly tried to kiss me, I quickly turned my head away, but he continued to leave wet kisses on my cheek. I wanted to push him away with both hands, but they were caught by him and held beside his ears.

  "Are you crazy, Master?" I asked Feng Tongxu with a ferocious expression, looking at his behavior as if he wanted to skin himself alive. I really underestimated the old lover who looked like him, something would happen one day!

  I just said I didn't want to be like her, and he immediately turned into a terrifying tiger, as if he wanted to eat me up like a big fat sheep!

  "If you dare to put something on your face, be careful that I'll tie you up to the head of the bed, then strip off your clothes, and slowly discipline you!" Feng Tuo Xu actually said such a threatening thing, making my heart skip a beat. He actually dared to think this way, could it be that I'm really destined to get entangled with him?

  "I wasn't thinking of doing anything, but who doesn't love beauty? So, I thought putting on some makeup wouldn't be a hindrance to the Master's eyes, right?" I didn't dare clash with Feng Tongxu head-on, so I could only speak softly and try to placate him.

  "Don't call me Master, call me Xukun." Feng Tongxu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he proposed.

  No... I don't think it's right. If Feng Tuo Xu wants me to call him that, then... little by little, he'll gradually and inexplicably turn me into one of his women. I don't want to become one of his, so I don't want to agree.

  "Don't call." I gritted my teeth, still wanting to confront him head-on. How could I let him get away with this? Would I have any good days left if I did?

  Like a sudden gust of wind that falls in an instant, it locked up all my language and confused my own heartbeat...
