Jiaojiao is getting married, and the male leads fall for her and fight over her.

Chapter 177 made him unable to control his emotions.
Shen Shuyi couldn't stand Pei Shizi's behavior. She didn't dare to use force, afraid of hurting her poor fingers. She could only coax, "Cousin Shizi, please take the antidote and let my fingers go."

Her fingers are not the cure.

Especially the way he held her finger in his mouth, wow, it was incredibly erotic.

Pei Dongzhou had no intention of letting go of his delicate and sweet cousin. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had been drugged to do all sorts of things with her.

He had enough of her as his antidote. Why should he let go of what was practically within his grasp? It wouldn't be good for his health...

Seeing that Prince Pei wouldn't budge, Shen Shuyi's pretty face darkened as she said, "If you keep doing this, I'll get angry!"

Pei Dongzhou thought to himself that his cousin looked beautiful even when she was angry, but if he really angered her, he would eventually have to coax her back. After weighing the options, he had to make a choice. Compared to momentary pleasure, he wanted to be with her for a long time, to be together for a lifetime.

Shen Shuyi felt that his fingers were finally free, but Pei Shizi's eyes clearly had something to say.

She really learned something new; how come the male lead has so many expressive eyes?
"Cousin, please take the antidote quickly," she urged, concerned for his safety.

“It’s too bitter,” Pei Dongzhou replied matter-of-factly. “Cousin, think of a way to coax me into taking the medicine.”

Shen Shuyi: ...

"How old is Cousin, the young master? Do you need to be coaxed to take medicine? Don't you think you're weird?" Shen Shuyi rattled off three questions in a row. "Take it or leave it. It's your body, Cousin, it's your own. If you can't… cough cough…"

Because she had used vulgar language, Shen Shuyi suddenly stopped and almost choked on her saliva.

Pei Dongzhou was inwardly grumbling about how heartless his cousin was when he suddenly heard her so concerned about his sexual ability. He looked at her with a strange expression and said, "Cousin, are you worried about my offspring?"

Shen Shuyi: ...

She discovered that she didn't have the male lead's thick skin and was no match for him.

“My cousin is so cruel. It’s too bitter, I really can’t eat it.” Pei Dongzhou said, making a move to spit out the antidote.

Startled, Shen Shuyi quickly covered his mouth: "No! I'm looking for candied fruit for my cousin, the young master. You absolutely mustn't spit it out, this medicine is very valuable."

Pei Dongzhou subtly inhaled her faint fragrance. His cousin smelled so good, it made him restless and want to pounce on her.

However, the antidote was indeed remarkable; his reason returned the instant he took it in his mouth. Although his desire was still surging, it wasn't because of the drug, but because the person he loved was in front of him, making it impossible for him to control himself.

A girl's hands are soft and boneless; even when placed over his mouth, they can arouse lewd thoughts in him.

Shen Shuyi thought she had calmed the male lead down, so she quickly handed the water to Prince Pei and then took out her favorite candied fruit.

But then Prince Pei started causing trouble again: "My hands are too full, so my cousin fed me one."

Shen Shuyi really wanted to punch him, but she held back.

She quickly tossed a candied fruit into Prince Pei's mouth, and he ate it with relish, saying, "So sweet."

She met Pei Shizi's ambiguous gaze, which made her momentarily mistakenly believe that he was saying she was sweet.

She shook her head and realized she was becoming increasingly narcissistic.

"Cousin, I'm not feeling well. I'll sleep here for a while." Pei Dongzhou said, then lay down on Shen Shuyi's bed, picked up her usual pillow, and covered her with her usual blanket.

Clearly, Prince Pei was taking good care of himself and didn't need her to worry about him at all. But it was precisely because he was being taken care of so well that she had the illusion that this was Prince Pei's territory.

She wanted to send him away, but he had indeed been drugged, and his rutting state was unmistakably real.

"By the way, who drugged my cousin, the Crown Prince?" Shen Shuyi thought of this most important question.

“Just now, Nanzhou asked me to go to Nanyuan. I was completely unguarded with him, but who knew he would drug me in my tea and even try to give me Cousin Xia. Cousin, please rest assured, I was not taken advantage of by Cousin Xia.” Pei Dongzhou clarified at the end.

Shen Shuyi was secretly cursing Pei Nanzhou for drugging her own brother and trying to get the female lead to defile Pei Shizi, but Pei Shizi's clarification left her bewildered.

Even if he wasn't taken advantage of by the female lead, that's his own business. Why should she be at ease?
That's as if she would mind him being harassed.

"I've suffered a devastating blow, both physically and emotionally. Aren't you going to comfort me, cousin?"

Pei Dongzhou's words made Shen Shuyi lose all sympathy for him.

She replied with a forced smile, "I think Cousin Xia is not only beautiful, but also has a great figure. If Cousin Prince could spark a romance with Cousin Xia..."

Upon seeing the gloomy look in Pei Shizi's eyes, her teasing instantly caught in her throat: "Cousin, you should rest. I'm going out."

Honestly, he can't even take a joke. Prince Pei is too difficult to please.

When A-Jian, who was waiting outside, saw Shen Shuyi come out without any clothes being torn or tattered, she was immediately relieved, but she quickly became worried again: "Where is the young master?"

"Hey, rest inside." Shen Shuyi felt rather helpless.

A-Jian opened her mouth wide and secretly peeked inside. Sure enough, she saw the young master lying on her young lady's bed, acting as if he were lying on his own.

She whispered, "Young Master slept in your bed again. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Shen Shuyi sneered, "I know it's not good, but what can I do? Am I supposed to chase my cousin away with a broom?"

A-Jian paused for a moment, then suddenly muttered to herself, "If the young master were the son-in-law, there wouldn't be this problem. Why don't you put in some effort and just win him over?"

Since they're already sleeping in the same bed, it's not worth it for the girl to not get a formal title.
"Shut up!" Shen Shuyi walked away quickly.

She walked into the courtyard and, after confirming that no one was around, dared to summon the system: "System, come out, let's talk!"

After waiting for a while, the system still didn't respond. She angrily said, "Damn system, stop playing dead! What stage is my mission progress at? Has my fate of dying young been changed?"

They gave her a straight answer, which left her feeling confused and uncertain.

The system remained completely silent, leading her to suspect that it had crashed.

Just as she was going crazy, Pei Nanzhou suddenly walked in: "Cousin, who were you talking to just now? Who is Tongzi, and who is the system?"

Shen Shuyi's expression was not good. She did not expect that Pei Nanzhou would hear her summoning the system.

"And what's the mission progress?" Pei Nanzhou pressed on, not giving an inch, then followed up with, "And what about my cousin's untimely death?"

Pei Nanzhou pressed closer, while Shen Shuyi retreated step by step until she tripped over a flowerpot behind her, making a jarring sound.
