Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

“Sister…” Ji Lingshen suddenly spoke, “Look up at this room, do you still think I can’t protect you?”

Xie Qingyu looked up upon hearing this. Countless vines stretched out and surged, and the flowers on the vines at this moment were like tempting flowers with deadly poison, luring people closer and then devouring them.

And now Xie Qingyu is like that seduced person.

"Sister doesn't know how I managed to evade the ability user from killing that experimenter, right?" Ji Lingshen said. "The tender buds can go wherever I want them to go without attracting anyone's attention."

"Do you know why they couldn't find out the cause of the experimenter's death?" Ji Lingshen said this as if it were commonplace, as if he were describing how to cook a dish. "The twigs entered his mouth, preventing him from calling out, and then entered his brain. The fine lines severed all the connections in his brain, and he gradually lost his ability to move and think, but retained this fear until he died."

After Ji Lingshen finished speaking, he saw Xie Qingyu's reaction and, perhaps realizing that what he had said was a bit frightening, he added, "Only in this way can we avenge Uncle Xie."

Ji Lingshen explained for a moment and then got back to the main point, "So don't be afraid that I can't protect you. You can stay in the safe house whenever you encounter danger."

“But just because you can protect me doesn’t mean I have to make you my boyfriend,” Xie Qingyu said. “Being able to protect me is just my dad’s requirement. For me, my liking you and him liking me are the most important factors for him to be my boyfriend.”

"So, do you like me?" Xie Qingyu asked.

Ji Lingshen remained silent for a while.

What is liking?

He was very interested in Xie Qingyu the moment he saw her.

But there were no other impulses.

Unlike Xie Cheng and Chang Xinrui, their meeting was not a very exciting one.

Ji Lingshen tried to think about whether he liked calling him that.

He has no such cases around him, nor has he ever encountered any.

He didn't notice it in daily life, but he knew that Chang Xinrui didn't like Ji Ming, nor did she like Xie Cheng.

But she pretended that she liked it.

What does feigned affection look like?

It's about being considerate, so considerate that you take care of everything they do; it's about being compliant, so compliant that you never contradict them...

Ji Lingshen reflected and was shocked to realize that he seemed to be like that too.

Since the two of them moved into this house, he has been taking care of Xie Qingyu, cooking, and cleaning.

It wasn't for any other reason, but rather because he naturally didn't want Xie Qingyu to do these somewhat troublesome tasks.

Although Chang Xinrui was faking it, it proved that this is what liking someone is like, so she would pretend like this.

And that's just how he is.

So... he likes Xie Qingyu?

Ji Lingshen's gaze returned to Xie Qingyu.

At first, he simply felt that Xie Qingyu had become his new family. He was indifferent to feelings, but he knew that family members in other families would have deep affection for each other.

He had never experienced it before, so he was interested in Xie Qingyu and wanted to know if his new family member would have such feelings.

Every night he sent out branches to observe Xie Qingyu, but he didn't observe anything else. However, he grew to like getting closer to her more and more.

Because she wouldn't refuse him, nor would she use a cold tone to tell him to leave. She even treated Chang Qing with the same bad attitude, but she was gentle with him.

So he deliberately fell on top of her to see where her tolerance bottom line was.

However, he failed to test her, because Xie Qingyu was extremely tolerant of him and treated him very well.

It was better than ever before, like the kind of human relationships he had learned about on television. She was even willing to give him the most precious crystal cores that others had given her first.

Ji Lingshen decided at that time to take care of Xie Qingyu and keep her by his side.

He himself did not know the reason.

Now he seems to understand a little.

Just as Ji Lingshen was deep in thought, Xie Qingyu silently broke free from his control and turned to get out of bed.

By the time Ji Lingshen realized what was happening, Xie Qingyu had already reached the door.

Even though Ji Lingshen knew Xie Qingyu couldn't get out, he still panicked for a moment.

The soft vines wrapped around Xie Qingyu's waist and brought her back. Ji Lingshen caught her steadily with both hands. He wanted to ask her if she was leaving, but he was stunned when he saw her stubbornly biting her lip.

Then he realized what he had done.

"I like you." Ji Lingshen blurted out, something he hadn't expected himself.

Xie Qingyu turned her head away, clearly disbelieving.

"Really." Ji Lingshen said anxiously, "I was just thinking that I didn't even realize I liked you."

Ji Lingshen has a strong learning ability. He had never said such things before he realized his own feelings. Now that he has, the things he learned from television seem to be useful.

However, after watching too many teen idol dramas and domineering CEO dramas, the things I learned were somewhat inappropriate for practical application.

"Do you like me?" Ji Lingshen was still immersed in the newfound feelings in her heart.

So this is what it feels like to have emotions? He analyzed the possessiveness, destructiveness, and most basic... desires that this emotion brought about.

It seems I'm reminded of the smooth skin on Xie Qingyu's ankles again.

Ji Lingshen's mind was racing with various thoughts, but he was still keeping most of his attention on waiting for Xie Qingyu's answer.

Xie Qingyu didn't say anything, but instead stared at him blankly.

Ji Lingshen suddenly understood and looked at Xie Qingyu in disbelief.

He was thinking about what Xie Qingyu had just said.

'...I like and like what I...'

She asked me directly whether I liked her, which meant... she liked me.

Ji Lingshen's mind was frantically analyzing, but his rational mind still couldn't believe the answer he had come up with.

"So I'm your boyfriend now?" Ji Lingshen felt a sense of unreality for the first time.

"Put me down," Xie Qingyu said.

At this moment, Ji Lingshen became disobedient, saying, "Answer me first, and then I'll put you down."

"Put me down first, then I'll answer you," Xie Qingyu struggled.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingshen carefully put her down. He frowned slightly, noticing Xie Qingyu's delicate feet resting on the flower petals, before lifting her again and placing her on his own feet. Then, he bent down, his eyes filled with a small, expectant look, and asked, "May I kiss you?"

Ji Lingshen's question was just a formality; Xie Qingyu's answer was not required at all.

The moment he released Xie Qingyu, he gave himself the identity of her boyfriend.

When Ji Lingshen kissed Xie Qingyu's red lips, only one thought remained in his mind.
