After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Lin Yi held a sword in his hand, looking at Luo Hanfeng with icy eyes.

Luo Hanfeng didn't even glance at her. Instead, he looked down at the person he was holding in his arms. She seemed frightened, her face pale and still looking shaken.

Luo Hanfeng chuckled, grabbed her chin with one hand, lifted her face, and then leaned down to kiss her fiercely.

Lin Yi stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

System: [Holy crap!]

Xie Xing's pupils widened.

Xie Xing was bitten hard on the lip, and the stinging sensation brought him back to his senses instantly.

Is he crazy?!

Last time it was from poisoning, what is it this time?

Was he driven mad by the whip?

Immediately afterwards, the taste of blood wafted from their lips, and Xie Xing's eyes instantly reddened. She clenched her fists and punched Luo Hanfeng hard in the wound on his back.

Luo Hanfeng remained unmoved.

He struck her several times until her fair fists were covered in bright red blood before Luo Hanfeng finally looked up.

Xie Xing's lips were red and swollen.

The crimson blood stained Luo Hanfeng's slightly pale lips. He stuck out his tongue and licked them, looking incredibly wicked. With his other hand, he tightly gripped Xie Xing's wrist, turned him over, and held him in his arms with his back to him.

He gripped Xie Xing's wrist with one hand and tightly held her waist with the other. The two were close together. Luo Hanfeng leaned down and rested his head on Xie Xing's shoulder. Then he looked up at Lin Yi, who was gripping his sword and hesitant to make a move.

Luo Hanfeng chuckled and said in a low voice, "You should have heard what my master just gave me and who he's going to use it on, right?"

Xie Xing's body suddenly stiffened.

She felt as if she were in an ice cave.

Heart-eating insect.

The cold fingers caressed her neck little by little, like a cold, venomous snake slowly climbing up her neck.

She got goosebumps all over her body.

Xie Xing looked at Lin Yi with pleading eyes, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Now, send your dog back?" Luo Hanfeng's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Xie Xing: "..."

She sniffed and, fighting back tears, protested, "She's not my dog."

"Lin Yi."

She gave Lin Yi a look.

Lin Yi pursed her lips, sheathed her sword, and with a leap, disappeared from their sight.

Xie Xing finally managed to control his trembling body and tried to keep his voice calm, "Now you can let me go, right?"

Luo Hanfeng raised an eyebrow: "I won't let go."

Xie Xing swallowed his anger and said, "Are you sick?"

Is he sick?!

System: [Oh no, this is really bad. This scumbag probably won't even be interested in you, right?]

As if to confirm the system's statement, Luo Hanfeng's slow voice was heard, "Miss Xie is stunningly beautiful and has a lovely personality. Who wouldn't like her?"

"She captivated me."

"Didn't I say that back then?" Luo Hanfeng smiled as he released Xie Xing, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I am deeply in love with the Fifth Miss. Even though the Fifth Miss humiliated me, it was still a kind of happiness for me."

Luo Hanfeng put on a satisfied expression.

Xie Xing: "..."

system:【……】

His appearance certainly gave this person a tremendous shock.

Xie Xing touched her lips; her swollen, bitten lips hurt at the slightest touch.

Xie Xing winced in pain, looking at Luo Hanfeng with a complicated expression, and said, "Is this your revenge?"

Luo Hanfeng's smile remained unchanged. "How could that be?"

"This is my love for the Fifth Miss."

Isn't it assumed that he's just a pervert who doesn't understand love?

I'll show you how now.

Xie Xing looked disgusted, took a few steps back, and said, "You're disgusting."

Luo Hanfeng remained unmoved. "Thank you for the compliment."

Xie Xing: "..."

system:【……】

This is insane! Absolutely insane!

Is criticizing him now a reward for him?

The system was greatly shocked.

There's a sense of madness, like "How did the world become like this?" and "How did the male protagonist become so insane and perverted?"

"so--"

Luo Hanfeng raised his eyes and looked at Xie Xing with icy eyes: "Fifth Miss, could you please stay away from Jun Lanjin?"

“Every time the Fifth Miss tries so hard to please Jun Lanjin, and then gives me a cold shoulder, I feel really annoyed.”

Luo Hanfeng withdrew his hand, tucked his hands into his sleeves, and looked at Xie Xing expressionlessly: "Is this the Fifth Miss's method?"

Xie Xing frowned.

She was almost laughing in anger.

"Who do you think you are? Aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"What, did my elaborate efforts to please the prince make you envious and jealous?"

Luo Hanfeng actually nodded directly.

He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling, and his entire figure, coupled with his already injured back, made him appear extremely thin and broken.

"Yes." The gloom on Luo Hanfeng's face made it impossible to discern his true feelings.

All that could be heard was his voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, as he said, "Someone like me has never been loved since birth. The more Miss Wu treats Jun Lanjin well, the more envious I become."

Why can't you treat me like this?

Luo Hanfeng raised her long eyelashes, her clear eyes fixed on Xie Xing: "Xie Xing, why me? Why do you have to bully me? Why can't you treat me like you treat Jun Lanjin?"

Xie Xing: "..."

system:【……】

Xie Xing was completely flustered by the questioning.

She was completely flustered at this point, and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

System: [Really?]

The system has also become a repeater.

The CPU that Luo Hanfeng controlled was completely overheated.

His monologue left Xie Xing feeling completely disoriented.

It's completely baffling.

It doesn't look real; it looks fake.

Is their relationship such that they can say such things?

If I'm not mistaken, the two of them have always been enemies, right?

Even if Luo Hanfeng had something for her, given his personality, it really wouldn't be appropriate for him to say such a thing in this situation.

System: [I don't believe it. The male lead is a really bad guy. He loves playing emotional games, first showing his vulnerable side to gain people's sympathy, and then falling into his emotional trap!]

Xie Xing: [I simply won't believe him!]

Are you saying this on purpose to disgust me?

Luo Hanfeng: "..."

eh?

He blinked innocently, realizing he'd been discovered.

Luo Hanfeng pretended not to hear Xie Xing's thoughts. He took a step closer to Xie Xing and then asked, "Can you tell me?"

"Why can't you treat me the way you treat Jun Lanjin?"

"why?"

Although these words were only meant to annoy Xie Xing, it is still an offense to privately criticize him in one's mind, isn't it?

But this is also the question that Luo Hanfeng really wants to know.

Why can't we treat him like this?

Why can't that person be him?

Xie Xing staggered back a step.

She was somewhat speechless. "You're asking why?"

"This is solely my fault."
