Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Song Qinian looked at her strangely: "Your Highness..." What kind of look is that? It's like she's about to bite someone.

Just as Song Qinian was about to step back, Li Qingyan suddenly reached out and hugged him.

Song Qinian: So she was going to... commit indecent assault.

"Your Highness, please have some self-respect."

Why is it that every time he changes his opinion of His Highness, she does something so incomprehensible?

She said so much, but then she started repeating the same mistakes in the study.

He tried to push Li Qingyan, but found that Li Qingyan's hands were trembling.

Li Qingyan suddenly hugged him tightly, his heart pounding faster than usual.

But I have to say, it's kind of nice to hug.

Song Qinian had a strong and flexible waist, slender yet not frail, making him quite suitable for a hug.

He also smelled nice, though Li Qingyan couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. It smelled like pine and bamboo, cool and elegant. The scent was faint, yet it carried a gentle, almost aggressive quality, permeating her lungs and chest with her breath.

It's impossible to ignore.

It's not just fragrant and soft, it's fragrant and soft with the right firmness.

Song Qinian snapped out of his daze and noticed that not only were her hands trembling, but her face was also visibly red, and she was even secretly taking deep breaths. He paused for a moment.

The coldness in his eyes dissipated unconsciously.

Song Qinian took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, let go. Didn't you say you wanted to study sincerely?"

Li Qingyan let out a breath: "I did it all for the sake of learning."

She didn't let go, tilting her head slightly: "I bit my tongue until it bled in an attempt to stay awake, but I still can't. This isn't normal."

"But if I hug you, I immediately feel energized, full of energy."

She opened her mouth slightly after she finished speaking, proving that she wasn't lying.

Song Qinian stared at her bloody tongue for a moment, then his breath hitched and he abruptly looked away.

He had never had any romantic feelings for Li Qingyan, and even felt disgusted by him. So why did he have a fleeting thought that he shouldn't have had just now?

When Li Qingyan looked up and then looked down again, because of the height difference, his nose and chin bumped into something small.

At first, she didn't realize what it meant; she just felt that it was somewhat soft and elastic.

Song Qinian froze immediately, and in an instant, an indescribable tingling sensation spread through him.

His stiffness and slight tremor made Li Qingyan belatedly realize what it was.

She froze for a moment.

Just as Song Qinian was slightly flustered and tried to break free from her, Li Qingyan quickly released him and picked up the memorial again.

"Let's learn."

Her face was flushed, but she looked righteous and serious.

Song Qinian took a deep breath: "This is the last time."

He wanted to see if what she said was true.

As it turned out, Li Qingyan really wasn't dozing off.

She finished reading the seemingly endless memorials, and was even able to move on to the next one.

Song Qinian remained silent, while Li Qingyan wore a smug expression, as if to say, "See, I wasn't lying."

Although the methods were all unorthodox, the hug really worked. Her strategy was correct, and the memorial was no longer a sleeping pill.

Li Qingyan sighed, "It really is a low-quality novel."

However, the devil may be one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall. She started with the simplest hug, and it worked.

Her original intention was that she couldn't start by kissing, much less go straight to sex. Firstly, she wasn't that capable, and secondly, she wouldn't be able to do anything more exciting later on.

But if you start with a hug and take it one step at a time, the requirements are relatively lower.

It turns out that simply drinking some broth can be helpful.

"Quick, while I'm still alert, let's get to the third one." Hug the moment before it expires!

Song Qinian could tell she wasn't acting; her emotions were complicated, but her speaking speed unconsciously increased.

The two were so engrossed in their studies that they didn't notice Sannoh's arrival.

Sannoye had gone to investigate the snake venom and confirmed that the Prince Xian's poisoning condition had not changed. Just as she was about to return, she suddenly felt Li Qingyan pinching her and even biting her tongue. Thinking that she was in danger, she rushed over as fast as she could, despite the pain.

But all I saw was the two of them embracing.

Feeling the indescribable sensation emanating from Li Qingyan, Sannoye unconsciously clenched his fists.

He suddenly realized something: it turned out that not only him, but Song Qinian also made her have this strange feeling.

His already indifferent gaze grew even colder.

Li Qingyan persevered for a while, but then felt sleepy again. When she couldn't help but fall asleep, she tugged at Song Qinian's sleeve.

"I'm sleepy again."

Her voice was a little annoyed, but also a little soft and sleepy.

Song Qinian's gaze shifted from her sleeve back to her face. Seeing her sleepy eyes, her clear pupils like spring water, he felt a wave of tenderness wash over him.

They are both honest and pitiful, making them irresistible.

"Do you want me to hug you again?" Song Qinian's past upbringing and manners told him that this was wrong.

"Okay, let's... hug one more time, the last one."

She extended her index finger to show her determination.

Song Qinian wanted to shake his head, indicating that this was not right.

This shouldn't be the case.

But he witnessed her being forced to bite until her mouth was full of blood.

She really wanted to learn.

He even knew at this point that her past ignorance and incompetence were not what she wanted.

There was an invisible force suppressing her, preventing her from excelling.

Now, if she hugs him and gets close to him, she can eliminate this power, allowing her to learn to handle folding normally. Moreover, her talent is better than he imagined. How could he possibly refuse?

No.

Whether for themselves or for the sake of Dali.

Yes, all of this is for Dali.

He convinced himself.

Seeing that Song Qinian didn't say anything, Li Qingyan's eyes lit up. Knowing that he had agreed, she reached out and pulled him up before falling asleep again, and hugged him once more.

A very standard hugging posture, with their bodies embracing but keeping their waists apart.

I've heard that you can gauge how close two people are by the distance between their lower bodies when they hug.

They weren't particularly familiar with each other; it was just a routine hug for the sake of clarity, restrained and polite. Song Qinian didn't hold her tightly at all, but simply cooperated silently, his hand resting lightly on her shoulder.

It was as if he was ready to push her away at any moment.

But Li Qingyan still couldn't control the changes in her body and mind.

After all, they were so close and both sober, which was completely different from their interactions with Ji Mingzheng last night.

Even though their hug was routine and awkward, their hearts still raced and they felt their senses were amplified.

She could sense Song Qinian's breathing and heartbeat.

"Is it okay?" Just as Li Qingyan felt Song Qinian's heartbeat quicken, Song Qinian asked.

He had tried his best to get used to her closeness and to ignore his discomfort, but he couldn't handle a long embrace.

He was certain that he had no ulterior motives towards Li Qingyan.

But he is also human, and his body is subject to the basic human needs of food and sex; his physical body changes according to his physiological characteristics and desires.
