After this, Taehyung stayed in Fu Junli’s court in order to treat his leg injury. Fu Junli, who rarely returned home in the past, began to return to the residence every day.

However, times where his emotions went out of control like that night, didn’t happen again, because apart from his eyes, the original host’s appearance wasn’t actually similar to Lianzhi. It was not something that could be easily confused.

It was only that Fu Junli’s ice-cold face became softer when he saw Taehyung's eyes. It was as if he was looking for a hint of someone else in his eyes. It was very clear that the other party had already started treating him as a substitute for Lianzhi.

Although Taehyung intended to deliberately imitate Lianzhi’s appearance to get close to Fu Junli, he didn’t want to continue mimic him forever. This was just a method to get close to him. If he was just blindly imitating, he was afraid that Fu Junli’s feelings towards Lianzhi would become deeper and deeper, which was not beneficial to his task.

Therefore, what he needed to do after getting close is show off the special characteristics that belonged to Du Taehyung while he was imitating, and imperceptibly influence him to subtly plant a new seed in Fu Junli’s heart.

Then he will find a way to let this seed sprout and grow into a towering tree, covering up the brilliance of Lianzhi…

On this day, Fu Junli had time so he did not leave the residence. The sun was shining brightly, and he sent a person to arrange a table for his Guqin. He elegantly plucked the strings, while staring at the garden full of orchids, reminiscing on the past.

[T/N: Guqin is a Chinese zither, played by plucking the strings~

Taehyung sat on the stone bench, both hands propping up his chin, his clear eyes staring at him.
“Do you know how to play the Guqin?” Feeling his gaze, Fu Junli turned his head and asked while smiling.

“No…” Taehyung shook his head sincerely. He knew how to do many of things, but he didn’t know how to play the Guqin.

“Do you want to learn? I’ll teach you.”
Even if the youth in front of him does not look like Lianzhi at all, that pair of similar eyes could always make his heart melt into a puddle. He remembered playing the Guqin together with that person before.

Unfortunately, Taehyung shook his head and said, “I don’t want to learn…”

“Why?”
Fu Junli’s face became cold almost in an instant. The pleasant countenance he had towards Taehyung was all based on his similarity with Lianzhi.

Taehyung saw through his emotions in one glance, and in his heart he shook his head and sighed.
It wasn’t that he doesn’t like the Guqin, it was just that in the plot, because the original host accidentally touched the Guqin that was considered Lianzhi’s, Fu Junli punished him by pulling out all ten of his fingernails.

Because of the psychological shadow left behind, he was unable to control this body’s aversion to learning the Guqin.
Dismissing this thought, he pulled a jade flute from his waist and waved it at him. His beautiful face showed a bright smile.
