Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Qinyuan is the most beautiful of the sixty-eight mansions owned by Yueying Pavilion in Dayong. It contains a natural spring, which is not only convenient for bathing but can also be used to treat Wei Jiusi's chronic coldness.

"Ruan Ruan, there is a hot spring in the main courtyard. Do you want to live with me?" Wei Jiusi felt that no girl would refuse a courtyard with a hot spring. After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask.

"What do you want to do?" Ruan Chuyin looked at him warily. Although she was a little tempted, who made him Wei Jiusi after all? If it were Xiang Yunchi, Qin Guanzhi, or A Yu, she would definitely not hesitate.

"My yard is big and has four side rooms. You can come or not!" Wei Jiusi knew from her expression that the girl must have thought of something wrong. The corners of his lips immediately tightened into a straight line. At the moment when he was about to explode, he turned his back and took a deep breath.

Is he that weak? If he really wanted to force himself on her, he would have done it in the car that day! So stupid!

Wei Jiusi had subconsciously treated Ruan Chuyin as his wife. Listen to the tone of his voice now, how approachable it was, and this damn girl was still not satisfied!

Ruan Chuyin's eyes flashed with confusion. She carefully observed his expression, which seemed to be quite "normal".

Ever since that day when he had slashed Wei Jiusi, the man had never been rude to her again, nor had he threatened her, much less been violent towards her. The look in his eyes when he looked at her wasn't particularly kind, but at least it wasn't murderous anymore. So, after weighing the options, he said, "I'll live in whichever room has the hot spring."

"In my room." Wei Jiusi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that, and turned around instantly. His face was calm, but he felt a little happy in his heart.

But the next sentence completely shattered his dream.

"Do you mean to give me the main room? Or do you want me to bathe in your room every day?" Ruan Chuyin stared at him with her big, sparkling eyes, her hair slightly tilted to one side, and a slightly strange expression. Even if he really had that idea, it would be difficult for him to admit it at this point.

Wei Jiusi felt like a huge rock was pressing against his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. This woman had the ability to infuriate people to death. But since Xiang Yunchi hadn't died yet, he—endured it!

"Okay! You live in the east wing, and I'll live in the south wing."

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt unbalanced. The main house was occupied, and he couldn't even soak in the hot springs. Why?

Then he said stiffly, "I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall tonight."

Ruan Chuyin's mind raced, and she immediately thought of a way to get out. She replied, "Of course. You give me a monthly salary of 40,000 taels, and I can eat whatever I want. But making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall requires a lot of ingredients. Can you take me to buy them later?"

"You want to escape?" Wei Jiusi immediately revealed her intention, and grabbed the boneless wrist and pulled it in front of him.

The force used was a bit too much, and Ruan Chuyin's body was caught off guard and hit the broad chest. The special aroma of pine resin lingered around her nose again.

"I didn't! I... I just wanted to buy some clothes. I was in a hurry to leave, so I only took one set of underwear and nothing else."

Before she finished speaking, her nose felt sore and her eyes reddened. Her expression of extreme grievance was like a rose about to wither, making it hard to refuse.

Wei Jiusi felt distressed, his calm eyes gradually breaking down. At this moment, he felt like a white-browed tiger with hanging eyes, opening its bloody mouth towards an incredibly cute little white rabbit.

He frowned, put his hands behind his back, clenched his fists again and again, and quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

There were indeed no extra women's belongings in the car. Ruan Ruan's white dress looked spotless, but in fact, she hadn't changed it in a few days.

Then he looked her over carefully from head to toe, and found nothing except the jade leaf hairpin on her head.

Wei Jiusi felt that Ruan Ruan not only needed clothes and jewelry, but also shoes and rouge and powder.

"I'll have someone buy them all for you." He thought about it and felt that this was the safest way.

"But they are all men, I may not like what they buy for me. And the clothes have to fit me well, I can't see the effect if I don't try. Besides, there is no reason for you to keep me locked up all the time. If you go on like this, I will get sick, and then I won't be able to make delicious food for you. And I just invited you to go with us." When she said the last sentence, Ruan Chuyin lowered her voice slightly with guilt.

Have it?

Wei Jiusi carefully thought about what she had just said and nodded slightly.

"Okay. I'll take you there." He was in a strange mood. Gazing at Ruan Chuyin's exceptionally beautiful face, his mind conjured up images of vibrant colors, reflecting on her. He felt that no matter what color she wore, she would be incredibly charming.

After a brief rest and half an incense stick of time, the two of them left Qin Garden in a carriage.

Wei Jiusi had never taken a woman shopping before. The old Pavilion Master's words, "Women are the most expensive in the world," were etched in his mind. Before leaving, he stuffed a thick stack of high-denomination banknotes into his arms, fully prepared to spend money, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

If it weren't for that bastard Xiang Yunchi, he would have spent 40,000 taels a month to hire a cook. But now, 40,000 taels is not enough to stop him.

Now I'm looking forward to the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish tonight to comfort him. I hope it's as delicious as Ruan Ruan said - when the altar is opened, the aroma of meat spreads far and wide, and Buddha will abandon his worship and jump over the wall.

The roads in Liangcheng were much wider than those in Licheng; even six carriages abreast wouldn't feel crowded. However, the buildings on the streets were generally shorter. For some reason, the tallest was only three stories high. In Wushui Town, you could still see five-story restaurants!

The women here are just as Ayu described, young and... beautiful.

That's right. Compared to Huang Yuanxiang, Wushui Town's most beautiful woman, whom she'd seen on Wuyang Street, Ruan Chuyin found the girls from Licheng even prettier. No wonder Ah Yu said all the beauties in Dayong were concentrated in Liangcheng. Just look at their slender waists and the big white rabbits tucked into their breasts. Each one has a more impressive figure than the other. I couldn't help but give them countless thumbs-up in my heart.

"Ruan Ruan, pull your head back," Wei Jiusi warned. Although she was wearing a veil, Ruan Ruan's eyes were incredibly beautiful. It was still early, and the streets were bustling with people. He didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.

"Oh." Ruan Chuyin obediently lowered the curtain. At that moment, they just drove past the largest restaurant in Liangcheng, "Donglei".

At this time, Qu Haoyue was walking out of the building with his classmates with a melancholy step.

"Brother Qu, why didn't you eat a single bite of that delicious steamed yellow croaker? Cheer up! How about I take you to Wangyue Tower? I heard there's a great storyteller there."

"No, I still have to review my lessons later, you go by yourself." Qu Haoyue replied weakly.

Qin Guanzhi's assassination of the Prince of Linhuai had caused widespread uproar in Liangcheng. Several factions were now working tirelessly to gather information about a certain woman. Qu Haoyue knew this woman was Ruan Chuyin.

He couldn't eat or sleep well during this period, and he kept thinking about leaving the academy to find Miss Ruan. But just as he was about to take action, his mother came.

It's only been a few days since I left home!
