Chapter 275
Looking at Jiang Pengji’s side profile, Wei Ci’s heart was a mess .

Like a ferocious, bloodthirsty beast that ate human flesh, she stared at his fragile neck . There was some minced meat in between its white teeth and its drool was dripping down . Its nose could smell the stench and the shadow of death shrouded him . He thought that he was going to die, but in the next second, she became a white cat that could fit in his palm and it meowed gently at him…
That was probably an illusion .
“But why do I feel like you’re deliberately putting your guard up against me? Do I look like I eat humans, like Rakshasa?” Jiang Pengji asked innocently . Puzzled, she cupped her cheeks in her hands, a tiny smile hanging on the corner of her lips .
Of course, that was also limited to the illusion .
Wei Ci suppressed his mind and became nervous, as if he was confronted by a formidable enemy . However, he spoke calmly on the outside .
“You’re mistaken . When have I put my guard up against you intentionally? It’s foolish to have a hearty talk with a mere acquaintance . I’m not close to you, so I naturally keep my distance . ”
Jiang Pengji blinked and walked closer to him swiftly . Wei Ci’s reaction was very interesting: He was like a frightened rabbit .
Seeing that he leaned back all of a sudden, she sneered secretly . Instead of retreating, she leaned closer to Wei Ci and whispered into his ears . Being so close to him, she could feel him quivering . The fear and panic that could not be controlled rationally made her more and more curious .
“Wei Zixiao . ” Jiang Pengji stopped using her pretentious, innocent voice and went back to being calm and serious . She said, “I don’t know why you’re putting up your guard against me . You’re afraid of me like I’m some terrifying animal . However, I hope that you understand a principle––the more you behave this inconspicuously, the more curious I’ll become and the greater my desire to explore you will be . So, are you hiding from me or are you playing hard to get?”

It was not known which sentence triggered Wei Ci, but he was about to explode .
Thud!
The movements in the corner of the room caught the attention of others . A person with a young figure caught Wei Ci’s hands single-handedly, an icy expression and a fierce gaze on their face . On the other hand, Wei Ci, who was restrained, laid on the ground, looking somewhat shabby . Due to the struggle, his cheeks were stained red . He truly looked like a frightened rabbit .
Splash . A student who was sitting by the edge of the pool saw the scene and was so shocked that he dropped his plate of fruit into the pool .
Umm… What happened?
“Sorry, we were playing around . Continue with what you’re doing . ” Jiang Pengji smiled as if there was nobody around . She changed her posture and squatted next to Wei Ci . She lifted her hand and released her grasp on his wrist . People with better eyesight could clearly see the vague, blue-black finger marks on Wei Ci’s wrist… They played a little too fiercely .
Wei Ci was breathing heavily and he had an extremely cold look on his face . His eyes, which were staring at Jiang Pengji, were somewhat bloodshot .
“You wanted to push me away just now, but I thought that you wanted to attack me . Hence…” With both her hands spread out, Jiang Pengji looked as if she wasn’t the one at fault . Wei Ci pursed his lips tightly and did not say a word . He got up, ignored the concerns of the others, and strode heavily away from the hot spring room .
As long as one was not blind, anyone could see the three big words on Wei Ci’s back: “I AM ANGRY!”

Jiang Pengji, the one responsible for pissing Wei Ci off, was utterly confused . She would not take the blame for this .
She did not want to offend Wei Ci . After all, he was one of the four disciples of Master Yuan Jing . He had his own connections in Langye Academy and was someone who could not be offended in the academy . She was there to attend school, not to fight . How did she unintentionally provoke Wei Ci?
However, she did not want to offend Wei Ci . It was Wei Ci who got closer and made her offend him, and now he put the blame on her .
This is so unfair! Oh, you’re a little princess, you have the final say .
The audience in the streaming room was quite disappointed . They thought that the host was going to do “something” live, but that did not turn out to be the case .
Nide Yida: “#cheeky . Just now, the streamer single-handedly suppressed him on the ground . I thought she was going to do ‘something . ’”
Zhubo Zhengmian Shangwo: “I used to think that the plots of domineering CEOs who assertively pushed girls against a wall were very stereotyped and vulgar, but now I finally understand why they’re so popular… It’s all because there’s the brief thrill of being conquered when you’re restrained against the wall!”
Zhubo Cemian Shangwo: “I think what the streamer did should be called ‘restraining someone on the ground’ instead . If she were to stand up, she could only get to his chest . ”
Seeing the discussion of the audience in the streaming room, the party concerned, Jiang Pengji, could not help but produce an illusion…
She bullied the little princess . However, the thing was that she was really not that insane . Not only did the audience in the streaming room think she was, but even the people who saw the scene with their own eyes thought she was, too .
“Although Zixiao has a pretty face, he’s a real man . ” The guy who cottoned up to Jiang Pengji previously came closer . It was not known as to whether he was gloating or if he meant something else . “Although I have many godbrothers now, you’re still too young . ” After that, he even raised his eyebrows at her and threw a gaze that all men understood .
Jiang Pengji’s face was grave .
Wei Ci left the hot spring room . The cold wind outside made him feel refreshed .
Just like what Jiang Pengji said, if he acted normally and did not show any abnormality, she might not even look at him . That was exactly what he wanted . However, she appeared without a single omen and warning when he had yet to be fully prepared mentally . Hence, he acted abnormally, which in turn caught her attention . The situation now was completely different from his original intentions .
Feeling lost, he stood in the corridor . The bright moon in the sky reflected upon the pond . The pleasing scenery made him a little calmer .
After calming down, he did not intend to go back . He was afraid that he would give himself away .
God knew what Jiang Pengji said just now had scared him so much that his whole body broke out with goose bumps . He was almost frightened out of his wits .
Whatever . I’ll just treat her normally .
Wei Ci calmed down and gave himself sufficient psychological encouragement . He only returned to the hot spring room after he felt that he could face Jiang Pengji normally . He opened the door, but there was no one inside . There were some tokens for the drinking game scattered across the table .
Looking at the empty room, he was startled . Where is she?
She went to create trouble . Jiang Pengji felt that too many things had happened that day . She did not really bathe in the hot spring . Instead, she had come across many bad things .
In particular, after she was wronged by the little princess, something else came up again .
That time, it was to rescue her friend, Feng Jin . When she arrived at the scene, things had already gotten serious . The charming Feng Jin was very furious and his face was full of injuries . There were glaring, blue-black marks on his white, jade-like face .
Feng Jin was the second son born of the legal wife of the head of the secretariat . Who had the guts to hit him in the face?
Jiang Pengji saw that it was not only Feng Jin’s face that was hurt, but his arm was cut by a knife as well . Half of his arm was almost stained red and he was fuming with rage .
“What kind of a b*stard dares to hit someone who has my back?”
