Su Li isn’t familiar with him and only guesses he’s the fourth brother of her roommate, Ling Chenyu.
Su Li sits on the bench, feeling a bit awkward.
She’s wondering how to ease the tension between them when she suddenly hears that elegant man’s laughter as he asks, "Feeling better?"
Su Li has always considered herself quite healthy and momentarily doesn’t understand his question.
His slightly pale fingers rest on his knees, curling slightly, and he reminds her with one word, "Medicine."
Su Li instantly understands what he means; her menstrual pain has gotten much better.
Su Li gently nods and says, "Yes, much better. Thank you for the brown sugar you sent."
Thinking about the brown sugar he sent reminds her of Feng Huaijin’s traditional medicine.
Su Li sighs inwardly, realizing that tonight Feng Huaijin, the Great Demon King, will force her to drink medicine again, which makes her scalp tingle just thinking about it.
Su Li is mourning her fate when she suddenly notices the man beside her, clear and cool like a pine tree, watching her. However, his gaze doesn’t make her uncomfortable; instead, it’s very pure and devoid of any intrusive desires.
Su Li can’t help but ask, "What’s the matter? Is there something on my face?"
Feng Ciye lowers his eyes to his distinct fingers and laughs softly, "No, I just think your eyes are beautiful."
Su Li touches her eyes, feeling slightly uneasy inside.
If people knew her eyes were naturally purple, she wonders if they’d still say that. She remembers being scolded as a little monster for over ten years by the Chu Family’s grandparents because of her eyes.
Su Li is at Experimental First Middle School to follow up on the filming of a web variety show, and the director is very pleased, saying it’s going to release the first episode in a few days.
After jotting it down, Su Li checks the time and realizes it’s about time to head back.
Su Li stands beside her luxury car, holding her cell phone with some annoyance.
"What’s going on? Why can’t I get a driver now?" Su Li mutters to herself.
Su Li can’t drive and doesn’t have a license, so she usually hires a driver to take her.
Unexpectedly, she can’t get a driver now.
The blazing sun overhead makes Su Li even more restless.
After ten minutes of trying unsuccessfully, she almost gives up when the figure in white approaches, a clean voice saying, "If you don’t mind, I can drive you back to school."
Su Li looks at the man in front of her, wearing a mask and occasionally letting out muffled coughs, feeling a bit dumbstruck.
He’d drive her back to school?
"Did you get a driver’s license?"
Feng Ciye smiles, "Yes."
Su Li can’t help but snap her fingers with some delight, saying, "Great, you’re also a student at our school. I’ll bother you then." Fresh chapters posted on noⅴelfire.net
Su Li hands the car keys to Feng Ciye, opens the passenger seat door, and sits down, buckling up obediently.
Feng Ciye sees Su Li’s lack of hesitation or refusal, his clear eyes flashing with slight surprise.
He grips the car keys with his pale hand and heads toward the driver’s seat, opening the door and getting in with smooth movements.
He inserts the car keys, his long legs resting on the engine, and the car lets out a low rumble, starting up.
Su Li tilts her head, watching his skillful driving techniques, and thinks to herself that she really needs to find some time to learn to drive. Otherwise, she’ll be in trouble if she can’t find a driver.
Feng Ciye looks at Su Li through the rear-view mirror, seeming to understand her thoughts, and softly says, "The Princess just needs to sit back and rest."
