Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Hah, hah..."

Lin Nai panted hot breath onto Xuan Ge's chest.

"Didn't expect your driving skills to be this good."

"Shh~"

Lin Nai covered Xuan Ge's mouth, and then Ke Lai Ta and the others' Sheng Gu Yu Yi streaked across the sky above, along with the sound of that Motorcycle's airborne sprint.

A rumble brushed past overhead, growing fainter and fainter, until only the fine sound of snowflakes drifting in the wind remained.

Lin Nai let out a breath of relief, hand leaving Xuan Ge's mouth.

But the moment she put her hand down, she suddenly felt something was off.

After the surroundings fell quiet, she realized her chest was pressed against Xuan Ge's body.

Just now, riding the bike had been too tense to notice; now that her heart was racing, that bit of sensation became exceptionally clear.

Thump, thump, thump.

Her heartbeat began to speed up, and Lin Nai stepped back half a pace.

She raised a hand to fiddle with the strands of hair by her ear, her gaze starting to dodge, somewhat not daring to look at Xuan Ge.

"Don't misunderstand, I just... just saw you laughing a bit unnaturally after that guy Jin Guang left."

Xuan Ge froze for a moment.

Laughing unnaturally?

He was laughing plenty happily.

Jin Guang left; he didn't even have time to pop the Xian Champagne.

What really made him heated was Dan Ni Ya's words; it didn't have much to do with Jin Guang.

But Xuan Ge didn't explain.

He glanced at Lin Nai's ears and cheeks, red through and through, found it amusing in his heart, and reached out to rub rub her head.

"Thank you."

"Eh?" Lin Nai looked up, a bit surprised.

"Thank you for bringing me here." Xuan Ge said, "Just now, if you hadn't rushed out, I'd probably have a real Tou Tong."

He seemed to have forgotten something, forgotten whether Shen Wu had a nuke or not.

Lin Nai opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end only managed: "No... you're welcome."

Her voice was much quieter than usual; right now she only had Xiao Xiao Bird yi ren, none of that poised confidence.

"Didn't expect your hair to still be this soft after being dyed."

Xuan Ge casually found a topic, wanting to ask about Lin Nai's situation.

Na Ke Xia doesn't take students for nothing; this Lin Nai probably has something exceptional.

But right now he couldn't see what special talent the other party had; only that Qing Chun Da Xue Sheng beauty of hers was indeed heavier than others'.

"... Y-you, don't talk nonsense, I take very good care of my hair."

Lin Nai rebutted softly in a low voice.

She wondered if Emperor would also see through at a glance that she was a raccoon dog swapped for the crown prince.

If he really saw through, would he Disdain her?

A mercenary assassin; if the Emperor knew her Identity, he'd reject her, right?

Too bad, Xuan Ge couldn't hear Lin Nai's wild thoughts over there, and he also couldn't be bothered to use causality to check.

If he knew Lin Nai felt her assassin Identity was very dangerous, Xuan Ge would say: "You're too naive."

Xuan Huang Hou Gong has crouching dragons and phoenix chicks aplenty; a mere assassin, put in his Hou Gong, is no different from a living Shengzhe.

Xuan Ge didn't reply, because footsteps came from outside.

Someone was calling his name; sounded like Ke Lai Ta's voice, mixed with Luo Se La's shouts, and also Fu Lu De Li Si's Sheng Nu Yu Diao.

Lin Nai subconsciously shrank back against the wall.

She and Xuan Ge were currently hiding in a Shan Dong on a Xue Yuan.

Zhe Li is a place concealed by a snow curtain; people passing outside, as long as they don't look inside, won't discover them.

"They're looking for you." Lin Nai said quietly.

"Mm."

"You're not going out?"

"Go out for what?" Xuan Ge leaned against the wall, Cross Arms, "To face a Shura field?"

Lin Nai didn't speak.

She discovered she actually didn't want Xuan Ge to go out either.

But when this thought popped up, she got a fright.

How long has she known Xuan Ge?

All told, not even a day.

But the things that happened in this one day were more than in her past year.

Jin Guang came and left, Na Ke Xia took her as a student, and even Huan Gei her a fire seed.

Then she rode a motorcycle and took Xuan Ge away.

Took him away.

To a place with no one.

Now the two of them are alone together.

Lin Nai's breathing quickened again; she felt hot all over — clearly she had only run a distance, yet her face was burning.

She raised her hand to fan herself, trying to calm down.

Xuan Ge glanced at her.

Lin Nai's face was flushed, fine sweat at her temples, her chest rising and falling with each breath.

Seeing this, Xuan Ge felt a teasing urge, preparing to raise another yandere.

He took a step forward.

Lin Nai almost instinctively took a step back.

Xuan Ge took another step.

Lin Nai retreated again.

By the third step, her back hit the wall.

"Don't... don't..." Lin Nai turned her head away, not daring to look at him.

Her heart raced frantically, her whole body going limp.

Her knees seemed to have no strength; she could only stand by leaning against the wall.

"Don't what?" Xuan Ge showed a bad man's smile.

Lin Nai couldn't speak; she didn't even know what she was holding back.

Don't come over? Don't get close? Or something else?

Xuan Ge lowered his head, leaning in closer.

Lin Nai could feel his breath land on her ear.

Warm, very light, yet ticklish.

She clenched her fists, trying to shift her attention to stay a bit more clear-headed.

But it was no use.

Her breathing grew disordered; a feeling surging from deep within her body made her more and more panicked.

"Heartbeat so fast."

"You... how do you know?"

"You're pressed against me."

Only then did Lin Nai realize that at some point her body had nearly rubbed against Xuan Ge's chest.

She let out an "ah," wanting to dodge to the side, but the left was a stone wall, the right was a stone wall, and in front was Xuan Ge — she had nowhere to go.

"I didn't..." Lin Nai was so anxious she nearly cried, "I didn't do it on purpose..."

"What on purpose or not, weren't you the one who brought me here?"

Xuan Ge is still Xuan Ge; this duck that delivered itself to his door — how could he possibly let it fly away?

Lin Nai is big, Xuan Ge is pure.

He reached out, tucking a strand of hair from Lin Nai's cheek behind her ear.

When his hand touched her earlobe, Lin Nai went limp once more.

Lin Nai felt she was about to explode.

She bit her lower lip, eyes wet and glistening.

Reason told her she should push Xuan Ge away, should run out, should call for help.

But her body wouldn't obey; she even discovered she didn't dislike this feeling.

Didn't dislike Xuan Ge being this close to her.

Didn't dislike him touching her.

This realization made her even more panicked.

She knew her fate had changed when Teacher Na Ke Xia accepted her as a student, only she hadn't gone to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou yet, so she hadn't taken it to heart.

But now it's different; she feels like she's about to be eaten by this big bad wolf Xuan Ge.

"You..." Lin Nai's voice was very soft, "If you really want to..."

Her words weren't finished; Xuan Ge's hand was already on her waist, pulling her into his arms.

Now she was completely pressed against Xuan Ge.

Could resist no longer; she could not refuse Xuan Ge, her whole body going limp.

Just as Xuan Ge was about to succeed, a woman's voice rang out from behind.

"Looks like I came at a bad time."

Interrupted by Jin Guang, then interrupted by Frolo.

Xuan Ge showed a core-goodness-like smile.

"You'd better..."

Frolo cut off Xuan Ge's words: "Do me a favor, and I'm yours."
