"Hey, with looks as handsome as yours, how about becoming my wife?" Chen Nan said with a cheeky grin, an expression of unparalleled smugness on his face.
"You might as well just kill me with a sword!"
Gongsun Yudie was really fed up and growled through clenched teeth, her voice low and hoarse.
"I couldn’t bear to kill you—I still want you to bear my children!" Chen Nan laughed boisterously, stood up, and flicked a pill into her mouth.
Before Gongsun Yudie could react, the pill melted into a stream and flowed down her throat, she swallowed it and her face changed with fright, "What... what did you feed me this time?"
Having been poisoned by Chen Nan before, and now fed another pill, how could she not be vigilant!
"Seeing how badly wounded you are, I’m giving you a Spirit Pill," Chen Nan said indifferently, already turning to leave, "Don’t forget to bring me the painting within three days, otherwise, if the poison acts up and you die, don’t blame me for not treasuring beauty."
Watching Chen Nan’s retreating figure, Gongsun Yudie got up from the ground, her eyes showing a complex mixture of emotions.
Her purpose in coming down the mountain was to kill this very man, but now, this man had gone out of his way to save her, and even provided her with a Holy Medicine for healing, plunging her heart into turmoil.
Knowing full well she was the enemy but still granting her such a great favor, she simply couldn’t understand what was going through Chen Nan’s mind.
Not only was Gongsun Yudie conflicted, but Chen Nan was also feeling rather frustrated.
He was frustrated with himself for not being able to shed his weakness for treasuring beauty.
Usually, he was merciless to his enemies, showing no quarter, but when that enemy turned out to be a beautiful woman, he found his hand wavering, and this was his weakness, a fatal weakness.
If Gongsun Yudie had been a man, she might have been completely annihilated by Chen Nan in the Red Mangrove forest last time.
After jumping into the river to wash the bloodstains off his body, Chen Nan walked toward home. It was just a little past three in the afternoon, and school was not yet out, so he planned to change clothes before returning to school.
But as soon as he got home, his phone rang.
Checking it, he saw it was that brat Su Qingqing.
"Little girl, what’s up?" Chen Nan asked.
Su Qingqing’s tone was unfriendly, "You big idiot, where did you go? You didn’t answer my calls."
Chen Nan was helpless, he had been fighting Jiang Yifei and nearly lost his life earlier, where would he have had the time to answer the phone, "I’m at home now, the ringer was a bit low, didn’t hear it, I’ll be back at school soon."
"Then hurry up, I’m still waiting for you to carry me home after school!"
Chen Nan was speechless for a long while before he said with frustration, "Why do I feel like you’re getting more and more natural at bossing me around?"
"Hehe, who told you to be my cousin? If I don’t boss you around, who else would I boss?"
"Really feels like I owe you from a past life," Chen Nan said with a wry smile, "Alright, let’s not talk about that, I’ll be at school soon."
"Yeah yeah, make it quick!"
After finding a set of clean clothes to change into, Chen Nan too went to school.
But just as he reached the fourth floor and was passing by the office, he was spotted and pulled in by Lan Yuqin.
In the office, it was just the two of them, teacher and student, and Lan Yuqin’s face was extremely ugly. She sat at the office desk, staring fixedly at Chen Nan, her eyes like two knives that you wouldn’t dare to meet.
Chen Nan also knew that he had done her wrong, so he stood there obediently, head down, silent, looking very repentant.
Lan Yuqin suddenly snatched up a teaching whip and slammed it down on the desk, anger showing on her face, "Chen Nan, do you realize your mistake?"
Chen Nan might usually be slick and unserious in front of Lan Yuqin, but he knew that this time the situation was a bit serious. After all, this woman was his homeroom teacher! To think he had assaulted her chest to skip class—this was an unforgivable sin!
"Teacher, I’m sorry," Chen Nan apologized sincerely.
Lan Yuqin’s face softened slightly, but still looked quite cold, "Just a sorry, and that’s it?"
"Then... I apologize to you formally!"
"You think a simple apology will suffice?"
Chen Nan scratched his head, "The deed is done, what do you think we should do?"
"What to do? You tell me what to do!" Lan Yuqin said irritably, "Skipping class is one thing, but to blatantly molest your own teacher, do you realize how shameful your behavior is? And you damn bastard, you pinched so hard, it hurt to death!"
Upon hearing her last remark, Chen Nan couldn’t help but burst out with a laugh, although it was a fact, Lan Yuqin’s words were just too funny.
Lan Yuqin grabbed the teaching whip and lashed it on the desk several times, yelling, "You bastard, you still have the nerve to laugh?"
