He recalled what happened in the past and felt a strong urge to strangle her.
He wanted to know what the little girl was thinking.
She treated me awfully, but she still threw herself at me. Does she want to die?
At that thought, there was an icy glaze in his eyes.
He strode over to the bed but grew even more furious because the little girl was sleeping soundly.
I couldn't sleep at night. What right does she have to sleep so soundly?
Feng Junyi lifted his leg and kicked the little rice dumpling off the bed.
Su Nuan was sleeping soundly. Then, she was kicked to the ground. She wanted to curse.
However, before she could open her mouth, she saw the cold-faced Feng Junyi.
Calm down. She had to calm down.
She needed to please Feng Junyi, not go against him.
Su Nuan understood the situation in a second and immediately wore a confused expression. She looked as if she was wronged because she had been kicked off the bed. Lifting her fair little hand from the blanket, she rubbed her eyes and asked with her soft lips, "Big Brother Emperor, is your evening class over?"
She finally saw Feng Junyi's face clearly under the bright candlelight.
He was a 13-year-old teenager, and although he was thin, his facial features were exceptionally handsome.
He was tall and slender, and he looked as if he was over a head taller than her. His red lips seemed to be coated with a layer of honey, and they shined faintly. His face was unbelievably pale, yet there was a kind of sickly flirtatious charm to it. He was like a vampire from a drama.
However, it was not the time to admire handsome men. Keeping her life was more important.
While Su Nuan was observing Feng Junyi, he was doing the same.
The little girl appeared soft and cuddly. Her nose was red, and she looked like a crybaby. However, her gaze…
Feng Junyi was used to people looking at him with fear in their eyes. So he became slightly interested when he met her fearless gaze.
"Su Su, right?"
"I'm Su Su! Big Brother Emperor, you remembered everything?"
She saw Feng Junyi smile!
Her heart gradually chilled at the sight of his smile.
The book had only sketchily described Feng Junyi, but what left a particularly deep impression on her was that Feng Junyi would kill whenever he smiled.
Is he trying to kill me again?
His last victim was skinned, hanging in front of the palace, and fluttering around like a bloody kite. That would be a rather unbearable sight.
She looked at him, anticipating his response. But, instead, she carefully displayed her charming naivety without looking as if she was fawning over him.
"I remember everything. You gave me a meat bun when I was 7 years old."
Su Nuan's big eyes shone brightly. Wow, my host was only four years old at that time, and she was already kind enough to give a hungry little boy a meat bun.
If she didn't know that he would end up a tyrant, she would have made up a soul-stirring love story in her head.
She nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes. Big Brother Emperor, you remember everything."
Feng Junyi maintained his smile and continued in a deep voice, "Back then, you gave me a meat bun and then let a hungry wolf in."
???
Su Nuan almost vomited blood.
Was my host that ruthless at four years old? Was she a demon?
Perhaps he was just joking around or recalled wrongly?
She stole a glance at Feng Junyi. He was still smiling. He didn't seem to be joking.
What should I do? How can I smooth things over?
Su Nuan glanced at Feng Junyi's thin fingers. There was a thin layer of calluses on the back of his hand. She suddenly had an idea.
"Big Brother Emperor really remembered everything in detail! Back then, Big Brother Emperor went to the Yun Nation alone. I was afraid that Big Brother Emperor would be bullied by others, so I was training Big Brother Emperor then. Fighting with wolves is the best way to train. The harem is a place where people kill without batting an eyelid."
She spoke eloquently in a gentle and soft tone and remained composed.
In reality, she was extremely panicked.
She quickly analyzed the situation.
The Shang Nation must have been defeated. Feng Junyi was then sent to Yun Nation as a hostage. The Shang Nation retaliated when Feng Junyi was eight years old and completely turned Yun Nation into a subsidiary state.
But, he was sent as a hostage from the defeated nation to the enemy. How could he possibly have a good life at that time? That explained why he was so hungry.
And, his situation in the past was also similar to mine. We were both isolated and helpless. I might still have a chance at surviving if I say that.
Feng Junyi didn't even blink. Rather, the cold expression on his face grew.
Oh no, oh no. Am I going to die for a third time?
Even if she had to die, she had to risk it one last time.
She continued to act coy, using her little finger to hook the corner of his robe. She stared at him with her big eyes and muttered, "Big Brother Emperor, I've never been doted on by my mother. I thought that I would be lonely and helpless after being sent to such a faraway place. It's so good to see you now."
"I think it's nice to see you too."
Feng Junyi was intrigued.
Keep pretending, he thought. He'd like to see how long this brat could keep up the pretense.
Su Nuan knew that Feng Junyi might not believe a single word she said.
She also knew that if he didn't kill her, it meant that there was some point in keeping her alive. If she kept pretending, perhaps she could fake it until she made it.
Su Nuan smiled obediently. However, she felt her heart in her throat again when Feng Junyi began unbelting his robe.
How could I have forgotten about this?
Tonight was their wedding night.
Wait a minute. I'm a 10-year-old, and he's a 13-year-old. Surely things wouldn't be so perverse?
Feng Junyi sat next to her after he unbelted his robe. He looked like he was enjoying the show and had no regard for her life.
Su Nuan's petite body twisted and turned in the blanket that was tightly wrapped around her. She wanted to free her hands and feet, but she couldn't trouble Feng Junyi to untie her.
Feng Junyi noticed what she was doing and chuckled softly. He asked, "What are you doing?"
"Me?"
Are you blind?
Su Nuan continued speaking in her exceptionally sweet voice, "I want to unwrap the blanket so that I can sleep comfortably."
Ha, she wants to sleep comfortably?
I have trouble sleeping peacefully, so why should she sleep peacefully?
However, it was really funny to watch her twist her body like a worm. Feng Junyi had originally planned to ignore her. But, he stretched out his leg and kicked her again, causing her to roll around.
Sure enough, the blanket was untied, but she was dizzy from rolling around.
Su Nuan crawled out clumsily with her butt sticking up. She pouted and looked at Feng Junyi unhappily. Her eyes were a little red, as if she wanted to cry.
This damned Feng Junyi. He doesn't know how to be gentle with women.
Forget it. If he knew how to show compassion and care for women, he wouldn't have chopped off the head of a palace maid for a small mistake.
Su Nuan considered that her head was still on her neck and thought it was better to avoid causing trouble.
"Does it hurt?"
Feng Junyi asked her, and it made Su Yuan a little confused. She looked at him and replied earnestly, "A little."
"Oh."
So he was just going to end it with an "oh" after asking that?
She's the princess of Yun Nation. She's already strikingly beautiful at 10-years-old. So even if he is a 13-year-old youth who had yet to become fully aware of the opposite sex, he should still be a little interested, right?
Forget it. He's a tyrant, and I'm not a female protagonist. There's no point in expecting too much.
There was a sudden noise in the chambers. Feng Junyi said coldly, "Who is it?"
