Chu Wanwan squeezed my arm harder before she finally let go of my poor thin arm.

The round or moon-shaped silk fan called tuànshàn in my hand almost trembled. Compared to this body, Chu Wanwan is a martial expert whilst.. hello.. I can't even hurt a fly.

My steps resumed. We left the female lead in there with a furious look on her gorgeous face. When we finally turned into a corner; I was certain that we were no longer in the female lead's view, my arrogant acting directly fell. My smug and vain face instantly changed into hilarious crying-mess face.

'Mother of Pearls!'

I need to see a physician. I think the female lead broke my arm. This body is very sensitive to pain.

I think Jin'er noticed something. She made a gesture with her hands to the general and the other servants. I don't know how they understand her because they stopped and nodded in response.

Jin'er put us in a good distance. She dragged me behind a tree. She let me put down my tuànshàn, her face looked troubled when my crying duck-face came to light in front of her. She sighed as she gently rolled my sleeves.

Oh my god! There was a blue bruise appeared in my arm. My mouth formed into a big 'O'.

I am relieved when I saw Jin'er's mad face. She hugged this poor master of hers and patted my back to comfort me. If she can speak; I'm sure she'd tell me again, not to be scared.

'Jin'er.. Hu-hu, the beautiful female lead scares me.'

——

"No matter what you hear, don't enter."

General Ming and the servants exchanged glances to each other before they nodded respectfully.

Jin'er held my sleeves, her worried eyes on me.

I smiled at my personal maid. "Don't worry. His Highness Nan King won't eat me."

...right????

"Greetings to His Highness Nan King."

I entered the prince's bedroom alone. I saw Li Han, he was sitting in the chair.

'Ahg! My eyes.. my innocent eyes.'

His naked upper body was on full view; with red-stained white bandages. Looking like a defeated God of War, rising from a thousand years of battle against evil.

It's only been almost a month, since he returned from the battlefield. I'm not really immune to the male lead. The mysterious teenage growth spurt! He's grown up so quickly.

He's eighteen!

This body is seventeen but I am twenty-four years old in my world. Five years in this novel world.. I am basically.. twenty-nine?

'This is clearly considered a child abuse!'

After only three years, the pathetic bullied prince has transformed into the infamous Nan King. I know Li Han is handsome but today, he's on another level.. too handsome lah.

No, triple kill level of handsomeness.. no.. no.. maniac level— aw no, he's savagely handsome today!

*slapping myself inside* I'm talking nonsense.

This dog male lead was just too pretty. Why I never noticed that he's prettier than the female lead? My pitiful transmigrated soul almost left this body.

'You, dumbass. Stop fangirling!'

The pale complexion, dull eyes and seemingly weak body of the male lead were so tempting to me. It's stressing me out! Like a beast in heat, I felt like I want to jump on him at any moment now.

Wild kind of ethereal beauty, so otherworldly..

My gaze traveled along the curve of his neck, over his prominent Adam's apple to his sharp jaw line, that sinful broad shoulders, wide chest and slim waist.

I hiccuped. 'Calm down. Calm down.'

I collected myself. I didn't wait for his permission, I arrogantly sat down across the table. Then poured myself some water into a cup. I really need a drink.

Though, Li Han's eyes never left me.

My heart wavered.

In the novel, Bai Suxin think that death is coming for Li Han, so she thought she doesn't have to pretend anymore. She doesn't have to humble herself in front of the dying Nan King. She doesn't need to endure anything to gain his favor. Who needs the useless fourth prince anyway, right?

And yeah, Bai Suxin already chose the Duke of Hebei to be his emperor.

Thus, the next scene is the unmasking of Bai Suxin— the green-tea villainess confession. *sound of clinking wine glasses*

I put down my tuànshàn in the table. Pretending to be annoyed by his stares, I threw the teacup at him. It collided into his forehead before it landed and shattered to the floor on impact.

A red bump instantly formed on his forehead. Li Han didn't flinched, didn't even tried blocking it.

His eyes..

"What took you so long?"

Li Han reminds me of that abandoned puppy in my world that I saw in the neighborhood. With its dull eyes staring at the passersby as if saying: 'my owner don't want me anymore' or that 'I'm better off dead'.

'Ah.. I mustn't pity this male lead. He hurt my people! He hurt Jin'er!'

I walked to the male lead, another cup in my hand. I hardened my heart and stood close to him; then I slowly poured the water on top his head.

As expected, there was no reaction.

Unlike years ago, whenever I bullied Li Han, he'll glare at me, his eyes would shot me a thousand of daggers. But now, I'm having a hard time reading the male lead.

The water trickled down his face. I brushed it away and tenderly traced a finger along his jaw, lifting his chin towards me.

A slow smile worked across into my face. "Did you wait long?"

My other hand touched his forehead, seemingly concern. "You're hurt."

He shook his head, trying to reassure me with a weak smile. "It's nothing."

Whenever Li Han coughed, he looked like he's in too much pain. "Can you tell me a lie?"

'W-what?'

His frail appearance today reminded me of him years ago. Li Han uttered a weak, sickly groan which aroused a sisterly pity in me.

"Tell me you like me."

He wants me to tell him a lie.. and wants me to say that I like him?

... Ehhh???

"Because your lies are making me crazy. So fuck!ng.. crazy."
