Chapter 8: This is all your doing, Ah Xuan…
Brother Lin Xuan had been completely drained.
When Lin Xuan woke up the next day, Su Hua was nowhere to be found beside him.
Recalling the wild events of last night, Lin Xuan felt somewhat uneasy; last night it was Su Hua who took full control…
Lin Xuan returned to his room and opened the closet Su Hua prepared for him.
He froze in place.
Inside were countless clothes, shoes, hats, and more—apparently all custom-made for him by Su Hua’s specific orders.
Previously unwilling to use anything of Su Hua’s, he had never opened this closet.
Lin Xuan picked out a set of clothes and walked into the bathroom.
After dressing himself up nicely, he even grabbed a male servant to cut his hair short.
Downstairs in the dining room, Su Hua was already seated at the table.
“Miss, should we call Young Master Lin down for breakfast?” Butler Wang asked respectfully.
“No need,” Su Hua said with a sly smile on her crimson lips. “He was exhausted last night. Let him rest a bit longer.”
Huh? Does she mean what I think she means?
Butler Wang’s face was filled with astonishment.
Has Miss finally gotten her hands on Young Master Lin?
Butler Wang’s eyes sparkled. Eating him is good! There’s an old saying: To conquer a man’s heart, you must first conquer his body.
Young Master Lin has always resisted Miss. Now that she’s eaten him, maybe he’ll start caring about her more.
Under the shocked gazes of the servants, Lin Xuan descended gracefully.
“Miss, Young Master Lin has arrived.”
A servant opened the door to the dining room.
Su Hua glanced up and saw Lin Xuan dressed so neatly, her pupils contracting slightly as her expression became momentarily dazed.
Butler Wang was utterly astonished.
Is this… Young Master Lin?
Lin Xuan coughed lightly. “How do I look, Su Hua? Am I handsome?”
“Hmm.” Su Hua nodded.
Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. As long as her mood didn’t change, Su Hua’s temperament was unpredictable, and he feared that changing his hairstyle might make her overthink things again.
“Young Master Lin, please take your seat,” Butler Wang pulled out a chair opposite Su Hua.
Lin Xuan glanced at it but didn’t go there. Instead, he sat right next to Su Hua.
Butler Wang: “???!!”
Lin Xuan had always resisted Miss, always wanting to sit as far away from her as possible during meals.
Why is he sitting next to her now?
Su Hua’s gaze never left Lin Xuan, her dazzling eyes filled with curiosity.
Did he not get angry after what I did to him last night?
Lin Xuan felt uncomfortable under her stare. “What’s wrong?”
Su Hua turned her gaze away and ordered, “Serve me my meal.”
“Alright.”
Vaguely remembering that Su Hua liked shrimp, Lin Xuan began peeling them for her, placing the peeled shrimp delicately near her red lips.
Su Hua gently nibbled on it.
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but marvel, Su Hua wasn’t so difficult to get along with when she wasn’t being obsessive.
“Here, continue eating, have some more.”
Lin Xuan seemed addicted, feeding Su Hua bite after bite.
Butler Wang momentarily lost focus and didn’t notice until Lin Xuan fed Su Hua a piece of lamb.
“Butler Wang suddenly exclaimed, “Young Master Lin, wait!”
Lin Xuan looked at Butler Wang with confusion.
“Miss… she’s allergic to lamb…”
Before he could finish, Butler Wang saw Su Hua swallow the piece of lamb.
Butler Wang: “…”
Knowing she’s allergic and still eating the lamb…
Lin Xuan was puzzled. “Butler Wang, what’s wrong with Su Hua and lamb?”
Butler Wang: “…Nothing.”
What else could he say?
Su Hua felt an itch in her throat, standing up from her chair. “I’m full.”
Back in her bedroom, she retrieved a bottle of allergy medicine from her drawer and swallowed it with water.
Lin Xuan felt something was off.
In no time, he finished his own meal and followed upstairs.
Su Hua had taken her medication, but her body still broke out in numerous red rashes. She was applying some ointment on them.
Lin Xuan pushed the door open.
Su Hua’s dangerous gaze shot towards the door, but upon seeing Lin Xuan, she clearly hesitated.
The icy aura around her dissipated as she tried to cover the rashes on her arms with her hand. “What are you doing here?”
Lin Xuan strode forward and pulled her hand down, revealing her pale, delicate arm covered in red spots.
“What happened to your hand?” Lin Xuan frowned.
“It’s nothing serious, just an allergic reaction,” Su Hua pursed her lips.
Allergic reaction?
Lin Xuan remembered the unfinished sentence from Butler Wang.
“Are you allergic to lamb?”
“Yes.”
“If you’re allergic, why did you eat the lamb just now?”
“Because…” Su Hua’s red lips parted softly, “It was fed to me by you.”
As long as it was personally fed to her by him, even if it were poison, she would consume it without hesitation. She couldn’t bear to refuse any kindness from him.
Lin Xuan fell silent. With her obsessive nature, this was indeed something she would do.
He truly couldn’t understand why someone as beautiful and capable as Su Hua would like him.
He used to think Su Hua merely regarded him as a beloved toy or plaything. But only after he died and existed as a spirit did he see her… umm, kiss his grotesque giant corpse. Only then did he realize she genuinely liked him, the kind of person who would lay bare her heart.
With a cold face, Lin Xuan spoke authoritatively to Su Hua for the first time: “From now on, don’t ruin yourself like this. I will gradually learn your taboos and preferences, you don’t need to keep accommodating me.”
Su Hua stared at him fixedly, her eyes seemingly sparkling like stars.
Realizing he might have been too serious, Lin Xuan added, “Seeing you like this makes my heart ache. Let me apply the medicine for you.”
Gentleness and sincerity were his ultimate weapons.
He might as well treat Su Hua better, avoiding any unnecessary trouble. Maybe this way, Su Hua wouldn’t imprison him anymore.
Lin Xuan squeezed some ointment onto his hand and gently applied it to Su Hua’s arm.
“Done. How do you feel now, Su Hua? Are you more comfortable?”
“There are still some areas where the allergy hasn’t been treated,” Su Hua’s eyes darkened slightly.
“Huh? Where else?”
Lin Xuan was confused. He checked her arms and neck thoroughly; weren’t all the areas with rashes already treated?
“Let me show you.”
Su Hua pulled Lin Xuan close to her.
Lin Xuan: !!!!
His hand trembled.
Su Hua whispered seductively in Lin Xuan’s ear, “Will Ah Xuan apply the medicine for me?”
The air was thick with flirtation.
Lin Xuan felt his ears tingling.
Why hadn’t he noticed before how enticing Su Hua could be?
Lin Xuan couldn’t resist and nodded dumbly, “Alright.”
Su Hua’s beautiful eyes lit up with laughter. “That spot is hidden beneath my clothing.”
Su Hua guided Lin Xuan’s hand to the buttons of her white blouse.
“Be a good boy, Ah Xuan, and unbutton it for me,” her voice laced with temptation.
Lin Xuan followed her instructions, trembling as he undid each button of her blouse one by one.
All the buttons were undone.
This was Lin Xuan’s first time seeing Su Hua’s body. Last night, he had turned off the lights, unable to see clearly the woman beneath him.
