Just Because I'm Not An Ordinary Girl

Chapter 13 - Getting To Know The Real Me

While the night is settling in, LianSong has retired to his room to rest and Donghua still stays seated in the same place. Fengjiu is still laying on her rock in the lotus pond and still hasn't woken up yet. Donghua just keeps staring peacefully at her, scared that she would somehow disappear into thin air. He knows that the boy that is attached to her on the stupid rock will be coming to find her someday, he need to act fast to prevent that from happening. "Who is this Wenchang Dijun?" he ponders in his mind.

As the night wind has blown in the garden causing Fengjiu to shiver a bit. Donghua gets up from where he is seated and walks towards her. He reaches over to pick her up and cuddles her into his arms and chest. She feels the warmth and his scent comforts her, so she snuggles in some more. He slowly walks back into his chamber and places her on the bed. She suddenly changes back into her human form and grabs a hold of his hand.

"Dijun, where are you going?" she asks. "You need to take your medicine so I'm going to the kitchen to get it." he replies back. "Can't you get Zhonglin to bring it, like how he usually does? I don't want you to leave..." she says with a pout. "Do you know how late it is?" he asks her back while she shakes her head. "You said you wanted to run around and stretch your limbs but then you just fell asleep on the rock the whole day." he replies.

"I'm sorry I just can't help it. The last few days I just keep passing out whenever. I didn't mean to leave you by yourself. Don't be mad at me." she begs with a pout and puppy eyes. "Silly girl, I'm not mad at you. How can I ever be mad at you, I love you too much to be mad at you. It's really late now Zhonglin is probably asleep already. And you must be hungry right? So stay here and I'll be back really fast." he says then leaves the room.

While Fengju is left in the chamber alone she just stares at the ceiling and thinks of what she should do. Her dad will find out soon that she's again tangled with Dijun. To this point he still doesn't know that she had cut off her tail for the heartless god. The last three years he has been looking for suitors for her and she has rejected a few dozen of them. She either fought them off or scared them off. Some were badly injured so ZhiYan and her little uncle BaiZhen always had to go heal them and solve the conflict she had caused between clans.

The last time that BaiYi came to beg Donghua to marry her daughter was a shameless act already. Luckily there wasn't any witness to it, only a handful of people that knew about it. The road up ahead is not looking any smoother than before, BaiYi will never agree to Dijun for Fengjiu's hand in marriage. Fengjiu needs to come up with a plan so her dad will accept them to be together. Especially if Dijun isn't on the stupid rock beside her name. BaiYi will never give her hands to someone that can't even give her a future. Luckily BaiYi also doesn't know the name of the one that is attached to Fengjiu otherwise he would have sought him out and gotten him to marry her.

"What should I do to make dad accept Dijun? Didn't gugu had a book on how moral women act to get what they want. Ummm. what was the name of it again...ummm..." she says to herself and ponders on the name. "Ahhh... I can't remember... sigh...well I still remember one of the tactics, I think had three stages...ummmm... step one cry, step two scream and third hang myself. Since my crying normally works I don't really have to use the next two steps. Unless dad doesn't fall for it anymore. Ummmm... but I don't want anyone to see myself screaming and hang myself..." she sighs.

"Of course you don't! How can you let anyone see you throw a terrible tantrum scene like that." Donghua says while walking into the room. "You heard everything?" she asks. "No just the one cry, two scream and three hang yourself. You are the queen of Qingqui, you can't use these lowly flirting skills." he says with a hint of anger in his words while sitting down beside her.

"Dijun, what are you talking about? I'm not trying to flirt with men, I'm trying to think of a way for my dad to accept us. This is a strategy tactic from a book that my gugu got in the mortal realm back in her youth days. I can't remember the name of the book, but she said this is one of the best tactics that she has seen and it works all the time." she replies. Donghua places the tray that's in his hand down on the side table beside the bed.
