As soon as he entered Pei Lai's room, Yue Luo seemed to have entered a first-level alert state, and unconsciously began to hold his breath and concentrate, his face slightly solemn.

But unexpectedly found that Pei Lai was not in the room.

He stopped suddenly.

At that time, Pei Lai had just finished a day's work and was returning from his study, when he saw a serious young man with a small face walking into his room as if he was facing a big enemy from a distance, he couldn't help laughing.

There was also a hint of happiness on that jade-like delicate face, but this slight emotion was fleeting, and when he walked forward, Pei Lai had already returned to his usual indifferent expression.

After Yue Luo walked in, he walked in slowly.

Yue Luo suddenly saw the person behind him, it was still Pei Lai, silently startled, he immediately turned around, and said uncomfortably, "What do you want from me?"

Seeing this, Pei Lai didn't answer him immediately, but tilted his head slightly, and sized him up for a while.

It only took a few seconds for the gentle gaze to fall on his face, but it made Yue Luo want to jump as if on a boiling hot pot.

——I don't know why the recent contact with Pei Lai has been accompanied by this inexplicable tension more and more.Yue Luo turned his eyes away, pretending to be indifferent on the surface.

Then he heard the sound of Pei Lai approaching, and saw Pei Lai glance at the glass stool beside him, "Sit..."

A single word of order seemed to hit his heart directly.

Yue Luo hesitated for a while before sitting down reluctantly.

At this time, the night had gradually thickened, and snow began to drift outside the window.

The warm fire in Pei Lai's room was burning quietly, the attendants had already left, and there were only the two of them in the quiet and large inner room.

Sitting there, Yue Luo couldn't help breaking the eerie silence: "If you have any orders, please tell me quickly, I'm going back...to sleep."

The reason for the pause was that when Yue Luo suddenly raised his head, he met Pei Lai's dangerous gaze with great interest, which made him a little dazed and flustered.

Fortunately, Pei Lai finally said, "I wanted you to study for another hour."

Yue Luo raised his face slightly when he heard the words, and looked at him closely—but he didn't know that the more tense his expression was, the more it would arouse the evil hidden in the deepest part of the young man's consciousness.

Pei Lai looked at him, her beautiful Adam's apple twitched and said, "But now there seems to be a way to get twice the result with half the effort."

Yue Luo's intuition was not very good, "What?"

"Let's arrange some punishment." Pei Lai approached him with downcast eyelashes, his phoenix eyes slightly bent, and said something that Yue Luo couldn't understand.

Yue Luo blinked his eyes in a daze, and because of Pei Lai's approach, he couldn't help leaning towards the back of the chair, and forced out a sentence from his throat: "What, what punishment?"

Pei Lai looked at the young man's dazed and bewildered look, slightly curled the corners of his lips, and after approaching him a little bit, he bent down suddenly, so that the tip of his nose almost touched the tip of the opponent's nose.

The distance was suddenly reduced to the point of intimacy, and the other party came to him in an instant if there was a faint breath. Yue Luo couldn't stabilize his heartbeat, and he almost fell off the low stool.

Seeing this, Pei Lai stretched out his hand to support his waist steadily, and after making sure that he was seated, he withdrew his hand, stood up straight again, and walked to the wooden cabinet full of books against the wall in the room.

Seeing Pei Lai randomly pick a book out there, Yue Luo pursed his lips and silently glanced at the title of the book, it was the one he had just finished reading today.

Could it be that Pei Lai wants to test the content above him?

Couldn't it be that he took advantage of it... After all, after reading it during the day, the impression is still very deep, and the content of the book does not seem to be difficult to understand.

But Pei Lai neither said what to do, nor what the punishment would be.Yue Luo's expression froze unconsciously, completely unaware of what kind of medicine was sold in Pei Lai's gourd.

He tried his best to watch Pei La come over with a blank expression, but he didn't realize that his fingers on his knee were nervously grabbing the clothes on it.

This scene was reflected in the eyes of Pei Lai who was pacing leisurely, which made the young man pursed his lips almost imperceptibly.

Pei Lai put the book on the small table next to him, and said in a low voice, "I remember you have read this book by heart today."

Yue Luo hesitated and nodded.

"Do you still remember the above content?" Pei Lai said calmly.

"certainly……"

"Then, it's okay for me to ask questions directly now, right?" Pei Lai looked at the other party's overly serious look for a while, but still couldn't hold back, and reached out to gently touch Yue Luo's cheek.

The other party's skin was soft and delicate, and he couldn't help but recall the tactile sensation when he kissed it before.

Pei Lai's eyes dimmed, while Yue Luo bounced back a little reflexively, and forced himself to calm down: "Well, just ask."

"In that case, let's talk about it first..." Pei Lai said calmly, flipping through the books on the table casually, "One wrong answer, one time."

When Yue Luo heard this, he didn't understand the meaning of the words at first, but after a moment of confusion, he suddenly understood, and then his ears turned crimson in an instant, and he said in shock, "Are you kidding me?"

Pei Lai shook her head lightly, not seeming to be joking at all.

Yue Luo's heart sank when he saw this, and he got up immediately to leave.

Pei Lai grabbed him easily, and said with a half-smile, "Are you sure you want to go?"

Yue Luo struggled, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, let go."

That kind of punishment...how could he agree to it?

But in the next second, Pei Lai said leisurely: "Let's go now, then we will start to continue what happened last time. If you agree to this method, maybe you still have the possibility to go back safely. How about it, you choose."

Yue Luo was stunned for a moment, and after digesting it, his shame and annoyance became more vivid, "The last time was the last time."

Pei Lai didn't argue with him when he heard this, but just slightly pursed the corners of his lips, "So you choose the former, right?"

As he said that, he also raised his other hand, as if he wanted to hug him, Yue Luoden couldn't help but stop him: "Wait!"

"Ok?"

"Even if I choose you, you will embarrass me, won't you?" Yue Luo gritted his teeth, feeling that the wrist part held by the other party was faintly hot, and there was an inexplicable numb itching spreading.

It just doesn't feel right.

No more contact with this guy.

Let alone something as embarrassing as last time happen again.

The scenes of that night, Yue Luo tried his best to restrain them so as not to let them suddenly pop into his mind.But sometimes when I think about it a little bit, I feel a sense of shame.

He heard Pei Lai say in a low voice, "No. If you answer all ten questions correctly, I won't touch you again until you ascend the throne."

"Really?"

Pei Lai looked at him, his calm eyes were enough to make people believe his promise.

"That's good..." Yue Luo's heart skipped a beat when he said this.

Afterwards, Pei Lai also sat down at the table, and the two faced each other. The candlelight flickered gently, causing Yue Luo's nerves to twitch.

Yue Luo unconsciously licked his slightly dry lips, waiting for Pei Lai who was slowly turning the pages of the book to ask questions.

It stands to reason that he has read the whole book, so there shouldn't be any big...problems.

Yue Luo held his breath.

But his readiness for battle cracked slightly when Pei Lai asked the first question.

Why did Pei Lai throw out the most complicated and difficult points in the book for the first question, combined with the current situation of the court?

Yue Luo gritted his teeth silently, and stared at Pei Lai who was facing him with a natural expression. The other party didn't seem to find this embarrassing at all, and even slightly bent and narrowed his beautiful eyes towards him.

After a short silence, Pei Lai asked in a slightly joking tone, "What's the matter, is it difficult?"

Yue Luo shook his head angrily when he heard the words, and said after sorting out the answer he had just thought of.

After Pei Lai listened quietly, she raised her eyes to look at him, satisfaction flashed across her eyes, but she didn't speak again for a while, which made Yue Luo feel a little confused.

Afterwards, Yue Luo was caught off guard by the other party and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

The kiss was very light and light, like a feather passing over a lake, Yue Luo didn't know how to refuse, so he just stood there in a daze.

After a long while, he belatedly squeezed out a sentence: "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry..." Pei Lai pursed her lips, as if she was a little surprised at what she did, she sat back down after a pause, and said softly, "I can't help it."

When Yue Luo heard this, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong. These four words sounded like they had nothing to do with Pei Lai.

But before he had time to think about it, Pei Lai returned to his previous appearance and continued with the next question.

Yue Luo thought for a long time before finally answering, a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out on his forehead nervously.

But Pei Lai's questions were unexpected, and each one was more tricky.

When it came to the eighth question, Yue Luo already doubted whether the other party was reading the same book as he was reading today.

He bit his lip, feeling at a loss for the eighth question. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't get a clue. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and look at Pei Lai, who was resting on his feet.

Yue Luo said in a low voice, "You did it on purpose."

After hearing this, Pei Lai couldn't help but smiled, and agreed softly: "Yes. How can I do what I want if I don't do it on purpose."

Yue Luo's heart beat faster for no reason, it was unknown whether it was because of Pei Lai's rarely seen soft smile, or his pointed words.

It took several seconds for Yue Luo to come back to his senses, and turned his head away for a while, "Skip this one first."

Pei Lai nodded.

However, the ninth and tenth questions were even more bizarre. Yue Luo's mind went blank after hearing it, and it was almost impossible to connect Pei Lai's question with the content of the book.

However, he knew clearly that Pei Lai did not mention the content beyond the outline, and these questions were indeed extended from the book.

Full of unwillingness, Yue Luo stubbornly remained silent for half an hour, during which Pei Lai waited quietly for his reaction.

After a long time, Yue Luo finally let go of his clenched hands, and said in a very low voice: "It's ok, your wish has come true."

Pei Lai looked at him and said "En".

But what happened next was beyond Yue Luo's expectation, Pei Lai got up and bent down slightly, only kissed him lightly on the cheek, and said "sorry" again - it was not his original intention to use this despicable way .

Yue Luo looked at him blankly when he heard the sound, not knowing why the other party suddenly apologized.

Pei Lai didn't explain, but just picked him up and put him on the bed, and then put down the bed curtain casually.

Yue Luo watched and couldn't help becoming nervous again.
