'Punish? What could he want to punish me for?' Liang Yunsheng thought to herself.
The image of Sheng Nuo's face from the night before flooded her mind again.
Liang Yunsheng widened her eyes, looking as innocent as possible.
What on Earth had happened to her?
Did she sleepwalk last night?
But wasn't it Yin Qianchen that wronged her and not the other way around?
The one who should be punished should be young master Yin himself!
"Let's not talk about this for now, breakfast is more important anyway." Yin Qianchen gestured towards the food in front of Liang Yunsheng.
'But if I don't explain myself, I won't be able to have a good breakfast anyway!' Liang Yunsheng thought.
She tried her best to remain calm. It was just Yin Qianchen. At worst, she would just have to deal with whatever came her way. It was more important to fill her stomach.
At home, Liang Yunsheng had been filling her stomach with soy milk, youtiao, eggs, and biscuits every day.But since moving in with Yin Qianchen, it had become milk, fried eggs, bacon and oatmeal. Fortunately, she still had her favorite puffs. Had it not been for them, it would have been unbearable.
Liang Yunsheng cut a chunk of fried egg and moved to put it into her mouth.
"Wait!"
Liang Yunsheng froze.
Yin Qianchen's chair scraped against the ground as he stood to move to her side. He reached out his hand to Hao Cheng, who respectfully handed him two thick books.
Before she could even put her fork back down, Yin Qianchen placed the two books on her head and straightened her body.
"You may start eating now."
'How am I supposed to eat like this?' Liang Yunsheng thought. She did not dare to move her neck. She tried her best to keep her shoulders flat and her back straight.
"Eating etiquette is not just about the mouth," Yin Qianchen said as he sat back down, touching his lips with the silver fork in his hand.
Liang Yunsheng only managed one more bite with the books on her head, her trembling stopping her from continuing.
Being a socialite was going to be harder than she first thought!
Looking at Liang Yunsheng's obedient actions and her expression, Yin Qianchen's own expression lifted.
"You must do this every day and at every meal from now on. I look forward to your results in a month's time."
Liang Yunsheng wished she could slap Yin Qianchen in the face with one of the books.
But she did not want Yin Qianchen to look down on her more than he already did.
Liang Yunsheng maintained her straight posture for the rest of the meal, finishing the rest of her breakfast. Surprisingly, she felt pretty good.
As she swallowed the last mouthful of cream puff, the long arm opposite her pushed another puff in front of her.
"Too sweet," she said, shaking her head.
She didn't care to stand on ceremony with him, but his sudden change in expression said something to her that sent a shiver through her body. She picked the puff up and ate it.
"Now, let's calculate the account for last night," Yin Qianchen said.
Yin Qianchen looked at Liang Yunsheng and folded his arms briefly before putting them on the table, resting his chin in one hand. "Let's see, eavesdropping on my conversation with someone, meeting another man, putting your arm around young master You's shoulder, becoming someone else's female companion and almost getting molested... You've committed quite a number of crimes, done so many things that made me unhappy," he sighed and paused a beat. "Shouldn't you do something to please me now?"
"Wu..." Liang Yunsheng almost choked on her puff.
"You like sweets?" Yin Qianchen stood and took out a ball-shaped chocolate from the snack box to the side of him. Once he reached Liang Yunsheng, he removed the books from her head.
His clean and slender fingertips held the round chocolate ball and pressed it close to her soft lips.
Liang Yunsheng stared at him in a daze. As he moved, she slowly opened her little red mouth and held the chocolate between her lips.
Liang Yunsheng could do nothing but blink.
In a daze.
Yin Qianchen gave Liang Yunsheng the words in his heart.
"It's because you're so dumb that people want to bully you even more."
Yin Qianchen bent down and continued to push the chocolate ball. Only this time, he didn't use his fingers.
