lie grabbed her wrist, his deep black eyes seeming to stare into her heart.
Bai Xianyu said, “It has nothing to do with you, right?”
There seemed to be mockery in Xie Xingyun’s eyes. He moved his lips. “Do you still remember what I told you about her last time?”
His slender hand slowly caressed the back of her neck. Her slender and fair neck seemed to have been burned by the warmth of the man’s palm and trembled slightly. Bai Xianyu could even feel the dormant veins on Xie Xingyun’s hand brush against her neck. It tingled and made her feel a little uneasy.
“Let go!”
However, the girl’s words did not have any effect. Instead, the man’s grip on her neck tightened.
“I’m asking you, do you remember?”
“…I remember.” Bai Xianyu had so little strength that it was impossible for her to break free from Xie Xingyun. She could not help but cower.
“It’s good that you remember.” Xie Xingyun actually smiled, his thin lips forming a slightly cold arc.
“I was wrong that day… She was indeed willing.”
Bai Xianyu felt the strength on her neck tighten. She could feel that Xie Xingyun seemed to be very angry.
However, he was restraining his temper now, which made her even more afraid. She kept feeling that if he exploded, there would be very serious consequences.
“But disobedient girls will have to be punished,” he said softly.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Xie Xingyun let go, turned around, and walked back to his seat. Then, he picked up a painting from the table.
Bai Xianyu’s eyes widened slightly. So he was painting when he looked at her in the afternoon?
However, the scenery around the painting did not look like it could be drawn in a few hours. However, with just a few strokes of the facial features, it was actually vivid and lifelike, as if it had been added.
It was her likeness.
He grabbed Bai Xianyu’s hand and placed the painting in her hand. “Keep it well.”
Bai Xianyu did not want to take it, so he said in a deep, rough voice, “How can one forcibly give someone something?”
Xie Xingyun seemed to have returned to his usual cold self.
He was a completely different person from before.
Xie Xingyun said calmly, “Is the painting not good?”
Bai Xianyu lied with her eyes wide open. “Not good.”
He raised his eyebrows. “I drew it according to your likeness. Do you think you don’t look good?”
“Of course I look good. It’s just that your painting skills aren’t very good. You’ve made me ugly.”
“Is that so?” Xie Xingyun pondered for a moment. “Then teach me how to draw next time.”
Without waiting for Bai Xianyu to refuse, the young man said, “I drew it casually. If you don’t like it, just take it home and tear it up.”
Xie Xingyun stared into her eyes and said calmly, “Anyway, this is yours now.”
Bai Xianyu looked back at him, her discerning eyes stared at him. “Is what you said real?”
“Yeah.”
With a ripping sound, Bai Xianyu tore the painting from the middle without any expression. She did not look at the man’s expression, but the strong icy aura and oppression around her almost made her hands tremble.
Fortunately, she still managed to stabilize herself.
This was the first time Bai Xianyu had provoked a man like this, but she still felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
“No one can force me to accept what I don’t want.”
She said, “Young Marquis, don’t treat me as ‘her’ anymore.”
Xie Xingyun smiled instead of getting angry. His eyes were dark as he said something unrelated, “The peach blossoms of the Buddha Temple are about to bloom.”
Bai Xianyu was still waiting for him to finish his sentence, but he left after saying this.
When she walked out of the Academy, Green Pearl was still waiting by the carriage. “Miss!”
Bai Xianyu was still pondering the meaning of Xie Xingyun’s words.. “Green Pearl, do you know the Buddha Temple?”
