"You better not go too far!"

Lin Jiaxuan glared angrily at Xiao Feng, feeling more and more that the person in front of her was detestable.

But this was nothing out of the ordinary; who would ask a girl to take off her clothes right away?

Moreover, when Xiao Feng said this, he acted very flippantly, as if this was not something shameful, making it even more unacceptable.

"I'm worried about you. Think about it, if you only grow tall but aren't obvious in the major characteristics of a woman, who would want you?" Xiao Feng pulled up a chair and sat down, speaking earnestly, "Turning off the lights and hugging you would be no different from hugging a man; it's a nightmare!"

"What does it have to do with you?" Lin Jiaxuan retorted, "I'm not asking you to hug me!"

After saying that, her already pale face gained a touch of red, not from getting better, but from anger.

"Be good, just check it out, listen." Xiao Feng approached Lin Jiaxuan with a creepy uncle-like smile.

Had it been before, Lin Jiaxuan would have already hit him, but now she lay bedridden, unable to move, just watching as he got closer.

"Take another step and I'll scream harassment!"

Lin Jiaxuan shouted, gritting her teeth.

Xiao Feng burst out laughing, "Should I respond, go ahead, scream all you want, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you?"

"What... what exactly do you want?" Lin Jiaxuan asked, breath heavy with anger, realizing asking sounded somewhat like admitting defeat.

Xiao Feng casually said, "Nothing much, just wanted to let you know to be more polite when talking to me. In your current bedridden situation, who knows how many more times it will happen? You might need to ask for my help someday."

"Heh... want me to ask you for help?" Lin Jiaxuan scoffed coldly, "Dream on!"

Xiao Feng didn't argue further, spreading his hands, "Let's wait and see then."

However, this indifferent attitude made Lin Jiaxuan uneasy, fearing he might create scenarios just so she'd have to ask him for help.

As she pondered, Xiao Feng said, "Alright, enough teasing, my real purpose here is to stir your emotions. Otherwise, staying in a low or unchanging mood easily leads to depression."

"Thanks, but don't worry, with you around I won't get depressed, but manic." Lin Jiaxuan closed her eyes, took deep breaths, feeling more out of control and wanting to explode.

Xiao Feng's eyes twinkled mischievously as he leaned slowly towards Lin Jiaxuan's ear, showing a rather sinister smile.

"What are you doing?" Lin Jiaxuan became alert, turning her head to the side, trying to distance herself from Xiao Feng, but unable to move far in her current state.

"I want to ask you a question," Xiao Feng whispered.

Feeling the warm breath in her ear, Lin Jiaxuan's body shuddered subconsciously, her face turning bright red, heart racing, deliberately slowing her breathing.

After a moment, Lin Jiaxuan nodded, "Go ahead."

Xiao Feng hesitated, "Are you sure you want to hear it?"

Suddenly, the fury in Lin Jiaxuan's eyes flared with substance, but if it weren't for a shred of reason, she might have bitten him.

Taking several deep breaths, Lin Jiaxuan exhausted the last of her patience, "If there's nothing else, please get out, okay?"

"There's still more, one more question to ask."

Xiao Feng immediately replied, coughed twice, then joked, "My question is, if I manage to send everyone away and they don't come back all morning, will you wet the bed?"

"..." Lin Jiaxuan's face went pale, her icy gaze as sharp as a blade, seeming ready to slice the person before her into pieces, a thousand cuts to quench her heart's anger!

Completely unaffected, Xiao Feng waggled his eyebrows, "So, how about it?

Did you not expect me to ask that?

Surprised?

Unexpected?"

Lin Jiaxuan took a deep breath, mustering all her strength, and yelled, "Get out!!"

Xiao Feng burst into hearty laughter, swaggering off, immensely pleased as if provoking the bedridden girl's emotional outburst was his greatest joy!

Since that day, a sign appeared on Lin Jiaxuan's door: 'No Scumbags Allowed (Xiao Feng specifically).'

...

"Xiao Feng, you're truly dedicated for Xuanxuan."

After listening to Xiao Feng's explanation, the little girl said with a moved expression, "Don't worry, I'll work on her mindset, explaining your good intentions and making sure she doesn't hold a grudge against you."

Xiao Feng slowly shook his head, nobly saying, "For her mental and physical health, enduring some misunderstanding and grievance is no big deal."

Zhao Guo'an listened in disbelief, "Xiao, is your face made of brick? Since when is making others angry a virtue?"

Xiao Feng pointed at Zhao Guo'an, telling the little girl, "See? I always endure looks of incomprehension from others. Do you know what kind of behavior this is?"

"Lack of ideological awareness?" the little girl tentatively asked.

"Wrong!" Xiao Feng glanced at Zhao Guo'an, "His behavior shows clearly that he needs a good thrashing, begging me to beat him up."

What the hell!

Zhao Guo'an's heart skipped a beat, immediately turning to run.

He realized Xiao Feng still held a grudge for not "lending" him money and was looking for chances to take revenge.

How ridiculous, thinking he was his friend, providing free labor was one thing, but still needing to pay "protection"? Not paying meant living in constant fear of a beating, where's the justice in that?

Xiao Feng grabbed Zhao Guo'an as he tried to flee, "Don't rush off yet; I need you to come with me later."

"You're not planning on committing a murder, are you?" Zhao Guoan swallowed, "Old Xiao, we don't have such deep hatred between us."

"What nonsense." Xiao Feng scolded with a smile, "I'm taking you to the Yuechen Inn to meet Lord Jiu."

Zhao Guo'an exhaled heavily, "You scared me half to death, I thought you... no wait!"

Zhao Guo'an abruptly recalled, earlier Fujiwara Keiaki said he saw Zhen Jinghan checking in at Yuechen Inn.

So, this bastard still intends to screw me over?

Realizing this, Zhao Guo'an couldn't help but reflect: bad choice in friends, bad choice indeed!

"Let's go later tonight. The strong mint candy you asked me to work on is at a critical stage now. I want to quickly finish it." Zhao Guo'an sighed, trying to delay, hoping to avoid running into Zhen Jinghan at the inn.
