He might get tired of the flowers in his garden and be tempted by the wildflowers outside... not to mention a wildflower like Li Qingran who's practically a spirit.

Jiang Wanfeng believed that even if she were a boy, she wouldn't be able to resist such beauty...

Fortunately, Yu'en had told her that Lin Mo and Li Qingran's relationship was just so-so; at least for now, Jiang Wanfeng had won big.

Thinking about it this way, the proud and arrogant girl suddenly became more insightful.

What kind of vinegar can you eat? That's hilarious.

How could the Empress possibly make a move on a maid who secretly loves the Master? It's too beneath her dignity.

But... what else did Li Qingran want to say...?

"Senior, does Senior Li Qingran like you?"

The group arrived at her doorstep in silence. Shen Yanxi thought she should say something on behalf of Jiang Wanfeng, since Jiang Wanfeng had taken her in.

"Let me tell you, senior, you have to be loyal. Someone like our senior, Wanfeng, is definitely better than Li Qingran..."

"Well!"

Before Shen Yanxi could finish speaking, a pair of slender, fair wrists suddenly wrapped around her neck and strangled her, effectively sealing the fate of the energetic young girl.

"No, that's not true, don't listen to her nonsense..." Jiang Wanfeng explained, mimicking Li Qingran's composed demeanor.

"Woo..."

"You're going to strangle her."

"Oh, okay... Li Qingran doesn't like you. I... I asked her. I argued with her today, but I just felt, um..."

Jiang Wanfeng realized that his actions had gone too far, released Shen Yanxi, and murmured:

"I just thought it was fun..."

"Huff...huff, ah, yes, Xixi was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, it's actually because Senior Qingran is a rather eccentric person..." Having just regained her freedom to breathe, Shen Yanxi quickly tried to explain.

In her panic, she glanced at Jiang Wanfeng's expression and was shocked that Jiang Wanfeng hadn't told Lin Mo...

This doesn't make sense. Could it be that Li Qingran is pulling the strings behind the scenes...?

There are people even more terrifying than Senior Sister Wanfeng!

And they were all humans, each more terrifying than the last, all living in Lin Mo's shadow.

How terrifying! Wouldn't that mean I'd just delivered myself to his doorstep? What if Lin Mo secretly consummated our relationship while she was asleep, turning her into his wings for life...?

Oh no!

Thinking of this, Shen Yanxi quickly hugged Jiang Wanfeng's slender waist.

Jiang Wanfeng was taken aback and looked at her.

Shen Yanxi immediately put on a pitiful little expression, her eyes seeming to say, 'Senior, I was wrong, I won't say anything out of line again, can you please protect Yanxi's mouth and teeth...'

"Why think about all this nonsense? It's getting late, let's go inside and rest."

Lin Mo understood Jiang Wanfeng's thoughts throughout the journey, and Li Qingran had also given him prior notice.

It's better not to say anything.

However, the two people who truly understood the truth at the scene were fooled by a completely clueless person...

Moreover, both he and Shen Yanxi had to pretend they didn't know.

It's a bit curious.

Once inside the house, Jiang Wanfeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected that Shen Yanxi would almost ruin the decision she had just made.

Fortunately, Lin Mo didn't care about this... He actually didn't care?

Is it because...she's the only one in his heart?

Well... could we give him just a tiny bit of information, just a tiny bit...?

If we're going to test the waters, when should we wait?

"I'll go boil some water first, you guys rest first."

Jiang Wanfeng put aside her thoughts for the time being; nothing was more important than putting her "care for Lin Mo" into practice.

In the summer, we usually turn off the water heater, but recently the weather has turned cooler, and we haven't gotten into the habit of heating water yet. We often turn it on only after we get home.

Preparing a hot bath for your loved one is also a wonderful experience.

I wish we had a bathtub at home; that would make the experience even more special...

And, taking a bath with him... um.

As usual, Jiang Wanfeng kicked off her shoes and socks when she got home, revealing her bare, pink feet, and changed into cool shorts.

It's only because Shen Yanxi was here today; otherwise, she usually just wears a loose short-sleeved shirt, without even underwear...

The pink shimmering beneath her feet constantly drew Lin Mo's gaze.

"Huh? Lin Mo, you're being really lewd..."

Shen Yanxi followed his gaze. Although she didn't understand what he was staring at so intently, his lecherous look... he definitely had bad intentions.

"When someone's around, you call me 'senior,' but when no one's around, just call me by my name. Something on your mind?"

"Oh no! No... I'm just reminding myself not to be fooled by you!"

The girl put some distance between herself and him, her slippers creaking on the ground...

The voice sounded familiar. Looking closer, I realized it was those Pikachu slippers! Fengbao had actually given them to her to wear...

good chance.

We can take this opportunity to get it back; it's better to keep it with him than for it to remain a ticking time bomb with Jiang Wanfeng.

"Why...why are you looking at my feet?" Shen Yanxi felt uncomfortable, and Lin Mo's gaze gave her the feeling that he had discovered some treasure...

Huh...

The girl was unaware of a certain hidden fetish, yet she felt a kind of mental aversion to it. Strictly speaking, feet are a girl's private parts, and she certainly wouldn't allow a boy to stare at her for so long...

But after all, it's Lin Mo... No! I can't have such thoughts! A bottom line is a bottom line! Xi Xi is actually already thinking of making an exception for him!?

I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I can't let myself go down this low!

"Do not show you!"

The girl hugged her toes, her slippers falling to the ground, looking both cute and fierce.

"Oh, perfect, thanks."

Lin Mo confiscated the slippers and even examined them closely to check for any damage.

Shen Yanxi's eyes widened. She wasn't disappointed that her feet were ignored; she just felt that Lin Mo's actions were extremely, extremely, extremely vulgar!

No matter who it is, anyone would be scared if a member of the opposite sex suddenly snatched the shoes they had just worn!

"What are you doing! I, I just wore that..."

"Well, thankfully I had just worn them."

What do you mean? Does that mean hot food is fresher?!

Shen Yanxi felt deeply offended and even felt a sudden urge to cry.

She had remained chaste for eighteen years for the sake of pure love, and today not only was she hugged, but she was also treated like this...

"Lin Mo? You..."

Jiang Wanfeng came out of the bathroom at this moment, looking at the two of them with puzzled expressions.

Lin Mo realized something was wrong; all his efforts had been wasted. He shouldn't have been in such a hurry...

"Uh, let's put these shoes away...and get her a new pair."

Jiang Wanfeng looked at the Pikachu eyes and felt a chill run down her spine; her pupils even struggled to focus for a moment.

She... actually gave the gift Lin Mo gave her to another girl to wear...

"sorry..."

I can't believe it... how could I make such a stupid mistake?

Jiang Wanfeng lowered her eyes, biting her lip lightly. Thinking back on everything that had happened today, her guilt nearly overwhelmed her, and her already exhausted body and mind softened instantly.

It must have hurt Lin Mo's feelings.

It seems Shen Yanxi and Li Qingran were right; she doesn't know how to care for people, she really doesn't... Her sensitivity isn't in caring for him, but in how to possess him...

To lose more than one gains

"It's nothing... I almost forgot about these shoes."

"sorry!"

"It's really okay."

"Go ahead and insult me! Just insult me!"

Jiang Wanfeng mustered her courage, straightened her chest, closed her eyes, and prepared to accept his scolding.

She held back her tears, not wanting to make another mistake and let him see her crying again, only to have him come and comfort her. It was clearly her fault, so how could she let him comfort her?

"I can't bear to scold her." Lin Mo hadn't expected her reaction and instinctively spoke the truth.

"..."

Jiang Wanfeng hesitated, feeling his concern and the warmth that rose within her.

Dispelled by guilt

Without uttering a word, she let out a few soft moans.

Taking the slippers back, her eyes dimmed slightly. Jiang Wanfeng carefully took them to the bathroom to wash them.

Shen Yanxi, who was watching from the sidelines, went from initial shock to thoughtful reflection, and now to disdain.

"You're really weak, Lin Mo."

"You gave those shoes to your senior, right?"

“It originally belonged to Li Qingran,” Lin Mo said in a low voice.

"Huh?! How could you do this?! You scumbag!"

There's a reason for this, you wouldn't understand.

"Hmph, I don't understand again, but you act like you know everything~"

Lin Mo glanced at her.

The girl's glare made him shrink back, and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Xixi doesn't want to understand the adult world yet... I know you understand it all! Please, just let Xixi go..."

While feigning pitifulness, Shen Yanxi shifted her position on the sofa, and after confirming it was safe, her weak expression vanished.

"Hey, although, but, what you just said is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"That's just wrong! Senior Wanfeng told you to blame her, why don't you blame her? It's good to be angry!"

"..."

"Like this, with a straight face, saying, 'I don't want it to happen a second time. Wanfeng ruined my feelings, and I'm very sad!'"

Shen Yanxi stood up on the sofa, mimicking his way of speaking, and gave him serious instructions.

"Idiot! Don't you understand the principle of 'too much of a good thing'? You'd feel embarrassed if you were always being cared for, wouldn't you?"

"Fine, fine, I'll go wipe your butt. Humph, you scumbag."

Shen Yanxi made a disappointed expression, jumped off the sofa and took two steps toward Jiang Wanfeng, then turned back as if she had been electrocuted.

"Um... Lin Mo, you yourself..."

"What else do you want to say?"

Seeing his gloomy face, the girl felt a sudden surge of anger for no reason. She puffed out her cheeks and withdrew what she was about to say—a sudden inspiration.

"Lelel~ I'm not talking to you anymore!"
