Since then, she had not allowed him to come near her bedroom, fearing he might harbor any improper intentions!
Given his previous misdeeds, Ling Xin felt justified in assigning him all the chores like laundry, cooking, boiling water, and chopping wood. However—
Pei Xiuping, holding a handful of grass with an innocent expression, approached her and asked, “Ling Xin, can these vegetables be eaten?”
Ling Xin's heart sank as if pricked by a needle, bleeding at the thought that those were the medicinal herbs she had painstakingly cultivated!
While hanging up clothes, Pei Xiuping remarked, “Ling Xin, your clothes are really beautiful and feel so nice to touch. But I’ve never seen you wear them.”
Ling Xin squinted at him and nearly fainted with anger when she saw his hand resting on her pocket…
“Pei Xiuping!”
Ling Xin's headache intensified. After days of contemplation, she finally made a decision. That evening after dinner, she approached him with a flattering smile and said sweetly, “Pei Xiuping, I don’t need you to do those things anymore; just give me Drug Testing. I have some new medicine I developed.”
“ Drug Testing?” Pei Xiuping's eyelids twitched suddenly; he felt that she was up to no good.
The last time he had been unknowingly involved with Drug Testing, he had barely escaped with his life… If he kept playing with fire like this, it would only lead to big trouble sooner or later!
Ling Xin began to act coy, shaking his arm playfully. “Promise me!”
Pei Xiuping shivered all over; her way of speaking was simply too terrifying, sending chills down his spine.
Just as he was about to respond, a man's voice suddenly echoed from the rooftop, "You mustn't agree to her request!"
Ling Xin, startled by the voice, exclaimed in surprise and immediately darted into the house like a frightened rabbit, clutching her bundle and intending to make a run for it.
However, she didn’t get far. Just as she reached the doorway, someone grabbed her back as if she were a small chick.
“Little Ling Xin, you haven’t forgotten me, have you?” Lou Yuxiao said, pinching her chin with a teasing expression. “I told you I would find you. You’ve been running for three years now.”
Ling Xin pouted and remained silent, but inside she was trembling with fear, secretly lamenting her bad luck for being caught by him.
Pei Xiuping observed the two before him; they seemed to be old acquaintances with a rather close relationship. He frowned and asked, “Ling Xin, aren’t you going to tell me who this guy is?”
Seeing Pei Xiuping still nearby felt like grasping a lifeline for Ling Xin. She immediately cried out for help, “Pei Xiuping, I don’t know this person! You have to save me!”
“Little Ling Xin, how dare you say you don’t know me?” The man—Lou Yuxiao—turned his gaze toward Pei Xiuping and added, “I’m her victim. This girl made me suffer back then!”
Upon hearing this, Pei Xiuping couldn’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie; it turned out that this girl hadn’t only made him suffer!
Thinking this way made Pei Xiuping feel uneasy. He ignored Ling Xin’s plea for help and actually moved to stand beside Lou Yuxiao.
“I didn’t make you suffer! You’re not worthy of it!” Ling Xin insisted defiantly, raising her chin. “It was your old man who begged me to treat you, and I did! Look at you now—full of life!” She felt indignant inside, thinking that he came from a reputable family; how could he go back on his word?
Lou Yuxiao's face flushed red as he bellowed, “But you even embroidered a peony for me! What kind of image does that give a big man like me?”
Pei Xiuping was taken aback, instinctively following Ling Xin's gaze. He couldn't help but marvel at the sight of a man's waist adorned with peonies; it was indeed... hard to describe.
He felt even more sympathy for Lou Yuxiao. Raising his hand, he gently tapped Ling Xin on the head, half in affection and half as a warning, saying, "You mustn't do that again." Yet in his heart, he thought that she should not be looking at other people's bodies!
But the next moment, Pei Xiuping instinctively shielded Ling Xin and said to Lou Yuxiao, " mister Lou, this peony... well, Peony Under the Flower, even as a ghost, is quite flirtatious. It really suits a man’s charm."
"What flirtation! She's made it so I haven't touched a woman in three years!"
Lou Yuxiao's face turned even redder, nearly bleeding from embarrassment. "A sixteen-year-old girl already knows such wicked tricks!"
"Who told you to be improper first..." Ling Xin muttered softly. "So what do you want? It's already happened."
Lou Yuxiao declared firmly, "Either you marry me, or I kill you!"
"No!" Ling Xin shook her head vigorously like a rattle drum. "I want neither!"
"Ling Xin, stop toying with him and help him recover."
Pei Xiuping suddenly spoke up. He affectionately patted Ling Xin on the back of her head, his tone leaving no room for argument. "I don't want to watch you marry someone else."
