"Do not let others touch you casually."
Zhen Feng's words were still repeating in a loop inside Mei's head. What did Zhen Feng mean by those? Had he not casually touched her multiple times? Or was he excluding himself from the group of people that were not allowed to touch her? Was he calling her shameless or was it that the man was simply eating vinegar1?
The more Lin Mei thought about their past interactions, the more she believed that the human Crown Prince had grown fond of her. He kept her by his side every day, accepted her personally brewed tea and conversed with her, he tolerated her lack of human etiquette without correcting her and was never excessively angry with her transgressions. He seemed to be contradicting his own harsh words by making exceptions for her all the time.
