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

After waiting for a while, Li Qingyan even suggested rubbing Ji Mingzheng's stomach so he could fart.

"Why are you rubbing your stomach...?"

Ji Mingzheng's face turned red. He rubbed his forehead, never expecting to fall into such a childish promise.

Finally, reluctantly following her instructions, I massaged my stomach clockwise.

Surprisingly, it actually worked. After kneading it a few times, he really let go.

At first, he subconsciously tried to hold it in, but at the last moment he gave up and actually let it out.

It was a soft "pfft," but both Li Qingyan and Ji Mingzheng heard it.

Ji Mingzheng paused, then revealed a look of utter despair.

Li Qingyan burst into laughter: "Hahaha, hahaha, you farted too, that's fair, from now on we're fart buddies."

Ji Mingzheng's ears turned bright red. He turned his back to her with a slight effort, not wanting to talk much, and seemed somewhat withdrawn.

"Don't be shy, everyone farts. I think we're much closer now after this incident." She returned all the words that Ji Mingzheng had said before.

Ji Mingzheng got angry too: "That's enough!"

He didn't want to talk to her anymore.

But Li Qingyan got excited: "That's not enough. Didn't I bring over a storybook yesterday? It's a custom-made storybook that I had someone write. You still have to cooperate with me."

The story was corny and melodramatic, but she thought it was acceptable and paid for it.

"Take a good look, we'll perform it later."

Ji Mingzheng felt utterly hopeless and didn't want to talk to her. He even peacefully closed his eyes.

This appearance is similar to the previous Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan nudged him, and Ji Mingzheng moved a little further in.

"I just tied you up, so we can reconnect."

She deliberately teased Ji Mingzheng: "Aren't you angry? Perfect timing for your revenge. Tie me up and get back at me too. Aren't you a dark and crazy bastard? In the end, you'll be imprisoned."

Ji Mingzheng paused for a moment: "Really?"

He was tempted. He wanted to tie her up, tickle her, even make her beg for mercy, just like in his dreams...

No, no, no, that's not right, he can't.

Ji Mingzheng felt that she had corrupted him, and glared at Li Qingyan fiercely.

Li Qingyan couldn't help but laugh despite being glared at; being with him made her inexplicably happy.

Sure enough, the world needs sweethearts, so even though the sunny boy persona might not be very popular, she still enjoys hanging out with him.

"You should watch the play about that ruthless, crazy, two-faced general. Let's take the opportunity to act it out."

While the male and female leads were working tirelessly day and night, they couldn't fall behind either.

Ji Mingzheng was so bothered by her that he had no choice but to get up.

But when he looked at the storybook, he fell silent.

"Why that expression? Remember it?"

Ji Mingzheng remained silent, and then remained silent again.

"Does...do it really have to be this way?"

It was so embarrassing that he wanted to scratch his toes, but he couldn't move them.

"Yes, that's how it should be. Don't worry, it's just acting. I'm doing this for your own good. You can trust me."

If the character is appealing and the performance is engaging, then as the drama progresses, the male lead's spotlight will be stolen, and Ji Mingzheng's leg may even miraculously heal.

This might be possible if the male lead had the advantage, but she couldn't say it, much less tell him, lest he be filled with hope only to be disappointed, which would be very painful for him.

It would be better if a miracle simply occurred.

"Ji Mingzheng, let's start from here. You need to act well and not be too out of character."

"it is good."

Ji Mingzheng agreed, then, panting heavily, pulled her over. She slumped onto his lap, and before she could react, he grabbed her neck tightly: "Woman, since you dared to mess with me, don't even think about escaping!"

He wasn't actually using force; he was just pretending to be fierce.

Although the lines were cringeworthy, perhaps it was Ji Mingzheng's dramatic change in demeanor that made up for it, creating a strong sense of sexual tension that was surprisingly captivating.

It's really exciting.

It's just that his hands aren't strong enough, which makes her feel really itchy.

She suppressed her laughter and let Ji Mingzheng continue.

Ji Mingzheng gritted his teeth, exerted a little force, and pressed her down hard according to the script: "You think that just because I'm crippled, I can't do anything to you, right?"

"I'm only disabled in my leg; the rest of my body is fine."

He didn't know how he finished speaking; he just froze.

He didn't use much force, and even deliberately let her sit on his lap, but she was surprised that her clothes were too slippery. With a light press, she actually slid down.

That little bit of force, in the end, I truly felt it.

Both of them froze.

Last night, a new world was opened to her, and she reacted strongly in an instant.

Ji Mingzheng, on the other hand, was only forcibly stopped by her after being treated that way; he couldn't handle the slightest provocation.

She realized what was happening and quickly got up.

"Let's stop here for today, we'll talk more later."

What is this?

Is this fake relationship turning real?

"Okay." Ji Mingzheng didn't dare to look her in the eye.

The awkwardness and trepidation between the two were interrupted by Zhan Mang: "Your Highness, General, breakfast is ready."

Li Qingyan made an excuse to refuse, but as soon as she stepped out of the palace gate, she almost bumped into Sannoye.

Sannoye appeared out of nowhere and was staring intently at them.

Li Qingyan didn't know how to describe that look in his eyes; it was filled with suspicion and a hint of hurt.

"What's wrong?" Li Qingyan asked somewhat guiltily.

"It's nothing, I just feel it's unfair."

Sannoye spoke in a low voice and rarely said anything.

Li Qingyan seemed to instantly understand what he meant.

He must have sensed her unusual behavior earlier, and they had just...

Watching Sannoh's departing figure, she couldn't help but take two steps after him, then suddenly stopped.

She deliberately got close to him, but she also had to increase her intimacy level with other people.

She cannot and should not make any promises; this injustice is already predetermined and cannot be changed.

She can't change it.

Sannoye knew this too, so he said nothing.

Sannoye's back view no longer showed the indifference he once had.

Previously, he was curious about her reactions to others, but could remain indifferent and observe.

But then she deliberately kissed him, pulling him into this worldly realm, allowing him to experience the desires of this world, making him enjoy the feeling of being close to her, making him fall in love with her.

Even last night they did that, he thought they were different now.

In reality, besides him, Song Qinian, Wen Sheng, and Ji Mingzheng could also make her feel excited.

They can both.

They were all her husbands.

Yet, he could sense everything between them and her.

But she couldn't sense him.

unfair.

At this moment, he also wanted fairness.

He couldn't accept it; he didn't want to feel it when she hugged someone else.

But he couldn't stop it, and he had no right to speak up about fairness.
