She'd actually relaxed enough to judge by feel!
His employer's condition really was getting worse.
Looking at Lady Xixi's beaming smile, Fu Qian silently praised her.
Her former, hidden, all-pervasive aggressiveness was no longer so obvious. It seemed she'd taken yesterday's advice to heart and begun entering the legendary state of a Wallfacer.
And the ultimate form of that state would be for no one—not even Lady Xixi herself—to know whether she believed she was herself or an actor. That would be the first step toward reverse-teasing the audience.
If she kept this up, she'd also be laying a solid foundation for a confused sense of reality.
But that was all right. When it came to the dimension of time, feelings were the most precious thing.
Besides, muddying the waters was what I did best. Whatever her motives, once she'd gotten used to some new behaviors and started to waver between feeling and reason, I could consider offering her a little psychological guidance.
"I'm leaving today. Before I go, I asked Tan Ying to bring me over so I could take a look at you."
Lady Xixi said it casually.
Take a look, or let me take a look?
It felt like she'd taken my advice and now wanted me to witness her Wallfacer state.
Fu Qian wasn't stingy about granting her request. As he looked her over, he gave her an approving expression.
"Won't you stay a couple more days?"
Even so, his attempt to persuade her to stay was as insincere as ever.
"No. I came in such a hurry this time that I left a lot of things behind."
Lady Xixi seemed quite pleased with his reaction and shook her head, just as expected.
"When I pay your next salary, I'll consider staying a few more days."
