Chapter 1145: Chapter 1149: Then I’m truly honored!

“Do I even need to look back?” Ye Xingbei scoffed at him, “I see your comrades every day. Yanbing is one of them, isn’t he?”

Duan Yanbing was never shameless like him.

Contempt!

“Oh, right,” Fifth Lord of Gu suddenly realized, “Yanbing is just pretending around you! If he gets a girl, he’ll be just like me in front of her. Don’t I act all aloof and cool outside? That means you are my insider, I can quickly be myself around you, you’re unparalleled!”

Ye Xingbei: “…”

So this was the bewitching potion Fifth Lord of Gu was pouring!

She almost believed him!

But then again, Fifth Lord of Gu really is quite aloof and reticent when outside.

Often impatient and speaking concisely, or not bothering to say a word in disagreement with someone.

Only with her does he endlessly flirt and charm.

So, is she really that unique?

But she didn’t want this honor, did she?

“Alright, alright,” Junzhu pinched her cheek, “Look, I said all this just because I saw you were not happy, trying to cheer you up. Why aren’t you laughing?”

Ye Xingbei looked down on him, “That’s because your way of cheering someone up is too unique, I can’t find it amusing! And for your information, I wasn’t upset today at all. If you hadn’t provoked me just now, I would have been very happy!”

Junzhu sized her up, “Ye Xingbei, you must be overwhelmed. Have you short-circuited your brain? Happy even though you’re hurt? Do you have a masochistic tendency?”

“Get lost, you’re the one with masochistic tendencies!” Ye Xingbei punched his shoulder, “What injury? It’s just a scratch. Siqi and Mi Xinyu’s scheme failed, Xiao Mi’s baby in her womb is safe, aren’t I right to be happy? Evil got its retribution, Siqi and Mi Xinyu were thrown into jail, aren’t I right to be happy? Besides, before Siqi and Mi Sheng clashed, our dad and Senior Master Mi fixed the wedding dates for Xiao Qiao and Xiao Mi, we didn’t miss out on anything important today, isn’t that a reason to be happy?”

She jabbed at Junzhu’s chest, emphasizing her point, “You see, one should focus on the brighter, happier side of life, not dwell on the negatives, or you’ll never be happy! You should be the kind of person who gets a splinter in your hand and joyfully says, ‘Luckily it’s not in my eye, I’m so fortunate!'”

Junzhu: “… Ye Xiaobei, aside from my father, you are the first person to give me a lecture since I graduated from school.”

Ye Xingbei laughed, “Well, I’m honored indeed!”

Junzhu pinned her down, pressing her beneath him, and pinched her cheek, “Then why don’t you look the least bit honored?”

Ye Xingbei’s mouth quirked, “Because I’m being sarcastic, duh!”

“You little wench, daring to be sarcastic with me? Seems like I need to teach you a lesson!” Junzhu began to tickle her.

Ye Xingbei laughed and struggled, but in her excitement, she hurt her ankle and yelped in pain.

Junzhu quickly got up to check, anxiously asking, “What happened? Where does it hurt?”

Ye Xingbei took the opportunity to flip him over beneath her, straddling his abdomen, pressing down on his chest firmly, triumphant, “Had enough?”

Seeing she was alright, Junzhu relaxed, holding her waist and watching her animated expression with a gentle laugh, “Ye Xiaobei, I feel like in this lifetime, I am more than willing to be subdued by you.”
