Guan Fei clutched her head with both hands. She couldn't believe what she just heard. Moreover there were no such lines in her novel.
-AARGH! YOU, old monster! How I am supposed to seduce a man? DON'T YOU KNOW I'M ALSO A MAN?-
''Young master, I've brought you the dinner'' A-Lin entered the room carrying a tray and saw Guan Fei holding her head with a pained expression. She quickly placed the tray on the table and went to Guan Fei.
''Young master, Aren't you feeling well?''
Guan Fei could see the genuine concern in the girl's eyes. She shook her head indicating that there is no problem and sat at the table. She was indeed famished. After all she hadn't eaten anything since two days. She was literary craving for a feast. But as soon as she opened the lid her mood turned sour. A-Lin who noticed her mood swing and couldn't help but giggle.
''Is it funny?'' Guan Fei glared. She picked one of the steamed buns on the plate and began to eat it in discontent. -You, ancient people are seriously lacking hospitality. I can't believe that I just transmigrated here only to receive steamed buns and a plain soup. You call this house a mansion but my cheap take-outs were way better than this meal.-
''Young master is still weak. Your body can't handle heavy food. And I added few medicinal herbs to this soup. It's good for your health.'' A-Lin softly stated pouring a cup of water for Guan Fei .
Guan Fei didn't say anything and continued to finish her dinner observing the servant girl. Although A-Lin looked very young she seemed like a very loyal and high-ranked servant of Guan mansion because she even knew deep secrets of the family. The girl also had an amicable character. Guan Fei impressed at the way she took care of Guan Feng.
At that moment A-Lin looked up and caught her intense gaze. She blushed instantly. For few seconds Guan Fei stayed puzzled at the sudden color change of A-Lin's face. Then she mentally facepalmed realizing that as now she is a man, the girl must have embarrassed by her stare. She smirked secretly and turned to the girl who still had her eyes lowered.
''Why are you behaving so shy now? I saw you even had the courage to laugh at me few minutes ago.'' She teased the girl .
A-Lin flashed an uneasy smile and started to collect the tableware as soon as Guan Fei finished eating. ''Young master should rest now. You need to recuperate quickly. Call me if you need something. ''
''A-Lin'' Guan Fei suddenly called the girl. ''Do you know about...ahem...that marriage thing?'' Though it was an embarrassing topic she needed to get at least one ally from the mansion. She felt that she could bend this innocent yet intelligent young girl to her side.
''Young master, I heard about that from sister Yan. I can understand your feelings. I know how you adored lady Zhu Mingxia. But minister Cao is very powerful. It's not good to make him an enemy'' Guan Fei couldn't decide whether she should cry or laugh.
''Aiyah, stop reminding me that married woman. I'm serious. I'm talking about the marriage with crown prince. To take Feifei's place...It's not like I can marry a man. What should I do?'' Guan Fei groaned.
''Young master, then... how about I teach you, how to act like a women?'' A-Lin offered uncertainly.
Guan Fei couldn't help but bang her head on the table. ''Aiyah, You aren't doing any help. You can go now. I'm tired like hell with all this'' She dispiritedly watched A-Lin leave.
-To teach me to act like a women? hello, I'm also a girl. It's just, I'm trapped in a body of a man-
