Lin Xu really wanted to explain her career to her, but at this moment, the most crucial thing she felt was—his technique was terrible?
"Miss Su, even with the best technique, no one can stand a she-wolf like you."
Su Tingyan's ear tips turned red with embarrassment.
This man, when he talked about such matters, did so with a tone as matter-of-factly as if he was stating outright facts, which only made Su Tingyan's embarrassment and panic stand out even more.
She, the distinguished young lady of the Su Family, was being teased by a top courtesan?
Su Tingyan licked her lips, "There are specialists in every field. You're professional, and I'm relatively non-professional, so you should definitely take care of me in this area, right?"
Lin Xu looked at her and shook her head, calmly continuing to gently scoop up the congee.
Su Tingyan's face grew even redder. "You're still making fun of me!"
Lin Xu looked at her intently, then suddenly stretched out his hand and gently pinched her rosy cheek.
Su Tingyan froze.
His cool fingertips seemed to touch her accidentally, giving her an electric shock, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
Lin Xu gazed into her light-colored eyes. "You're very cute like this."
"..."
Su Tingyan blinked, and as she was stared at by those eyes, she felt her heart pounding fiercely.
It was as if her eyes couldn't move.
No wonder he was a top courtesan; a casual gesture from him could stir such strong desire.
He withdrew his hand and continued, "Plus, you're inexperienced, it'll surely hurt, and you don't even have basic knowledge. Eat something; otherwise, your body won't be able to handle it."
Su Tingyan quickly lowered her head and picked up a spoon.
"I can do it myself, you don't need to."
She began to eat heartily.
Her manners were anything but elegant.
He lowered his head and smiled looking at her, thinking her shy demeanor suited her devilishly attractive face in a particularly charming way.
He watched with great interest.
The food he made was delicious.
Over the years, Su Tingyan had traveled far and wide with her master, focusing on her studies and enduring all kinds of hardships.
She had not expected that, upon returning home, the first homemade meal she would eat was made by a top courtesan.
With a bitter smile in her heart, she looked up and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good cook."
"Why didn't you expect that?"
He was someone who paid attention to life, and although he seldom cooked, he could still make delicious dishes.
Su Tingyan said unabashedly, "Seeing how luxurious your life is, I thought you were too lazy to lift a finger."
So, did she mean to say he was a good-for-nothing?
"..."
Lin Xu wondered if there was even a shred of merit left in him in her eyes.
"Since you think of me as such a person and that's the kind of work I do, you don't despise me?" Lin Xu cocked his head looking at her.
Su Tingyan said, "Everyone earns Money by their own skills; what's there to despise? Being born with your looks is also a gift from heaven. Right now, there are so many people who don't want Money and are messing around everywhere. Just like my sister who usurped a position as a mistress, compared to them, your profession seems particularly clean!"
"..."
Su Tingyan patted his shoulder as if to comfort him against feeling inferior, "So don't overthink it... And when you're with others, you probably... have safety measures, right?"
"..."
Lin Xu had never actually done anything with anyone!
How could he answer that?
"I've never done it before."
"Oh, don't hide it from me. Even if you tell the truth, I won't look down on you. Besides, looking the way you do, going out to work is a blessing to society. How could I look down on you?"
"Enough, don't say any more."
Lin Xu said indifferently, "You eat first."
If he listened any longer, Lin Xu felt that he would be successfully brainwashed by this young woman.
