Chapter 41

After enjoying a delicious meal at Xiao Xueqin's, Xiao Han left. However, he did not return to his own room because he did not dare to. Xiao Yu had said that morning that she would come looking for him tonight.

"Forget it. I'll make do and sleep on the Back Mountain tonight."

On the Mountain Peak, Xiao Han lay lazily in the grass. Thinking of the harsh words Xiao Yu had left him with that morning, he shook his head helplessly. This was truly despairing—he had been forced by a woman into being unable to return home. Although she was a beauty, it was still miserable.

"Sigh, blame it on me being too upright. Otherwise, if I used the method Xiao Yan taught me, that woman probably wouldn't dare provoke me."

Xiao Han muttered again, sounding somewhat rueful. The method was certainly good, but he truly could not bring himself to do it.

"What good method did Xiao Yan teach you?"

Just then, a gentle woman's voice came from behind Xiao Han.

"It's not really a good method..." Xiao Han was still in his lazy state, and upon hearing that pleasant voice, he answered subconsciously. But toward the end, he sensed that something was wrong. Why did it suddenly feel chilly behind him?

Xiao Han scrambled to his feet and turned around, his pupils suddenly shrinking. His gaze slowly traveled upward over a tall, slender figure until it met a pair of icy eyes staring fixedly at him.

"Cousin Xiao Yu... what a coincidence!" Xiao Han's mouth twitched violently when he saw who it was. "Not really. I came here specifically to find you," Xiao Yu said.

"H-how did you know I was here?" Xiao Han groaned inwardly.

"Here. This is Jia Nan Academy's Tracking Butterfly. Finding you was effortless." Xiao Yu raised her hand and held out her palm flat as a butterfly lightly landed upon it.

"Uh..." At the sight of the butterfly, Xiao Han practically wanted to die. It had been following him since that morning, and he had thought his charm was so great that even butterflies had fallen for him. So it was a spy!

"Cousin Xiao Yu, look, it's the middle of the night, and we're a lone man and woman. It wouldn't be good for your reputation if word got out. Whatever it is, let's talk tomorrow. That's it, I'll be leaving first." After saying this to Xiao Yu, Xiao Han turned and ran.

"Help!" Xiao Han sprinted wildly down the mountain. Xiao Yu was a Six-star Dou Zhe—he could not afford to provoke her.

"The Xiao Family Genius, and this is all the courage you have?" Yet after Xiao Han had only taken a few steps, a tall, graceful figure flashed in front of him with astonishing speed.

"W-what do you want?" Xiao Han asked. He was truly afraid of this woman.

"Very simple. I'll beat you up. Don't worry, I'll be gentle. You'll only be bedridden for about a month." Xiao Yu folded her arms across her chest and spoke calmly.

"Uh..." Cold sweat immediately broke out across Xiao Han's forehead. Only bedridden for a month?

"Xiao Yu, don't go too far! I'm telling you, I've let you off time and again only because a good man does not fight women. If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for getting rough!" The next moment, Xiao Han stepped forward, puffed out his chest, glared at Xiao Yu, and threatened her.

"And how exactly do you plan to get rough?" Xiao Yu's lips curved slightly, amusement flickering in her beautiful eyes. Getting rough with her?
