In fact, he was sorrowful because of Feng Ruqing. But, he looked at Nan Xian first before turning back to Feng Ruqing. Hence, people could easily misunderstand.
âThen, why are you still peeping at my state preceptor?â
Jiu Ming was speechless.
âIâm peeping at... Nan Xian?â
Jiu Mingâs facial expression changed drastically. There was utter disdain in his eyes. âWho are you talking about? He and I? Why do you say that Iâm peeping at him? I donât have this kind of disgusting behavior.â
âI heard from the people of Paramount that you donât like women but you like only men.â
Jiu Ming was confused.
âYou looked at the state preceptor sadly just now. Thatâs why I have misunderstood,â Feng Ruqing said as she shrugged.
Jiu Ming did not know how to respond to that.
He froze and looked at the state preceptor. He could not help but imagine himself being together with another man because of what Feng Ruqing said.
He could not bear the consequence of his imagination any longer so he went and vomited at the side of the road.
Normally, he would feel nothing if he saw the pictures of two men being together. But, he was nauseated when he thought of himself being with another man.
Jiu Ming was curious. Sometimes, he heard of people talking about the things that happened between men. He was curious as to how men could be together. Therefore, he had secretly bought a book and it was discovered by the people from Paramount.
That was how the rumor had spread in the first place.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiu Mingâs facial expression darkened. He would go and investigate the people who had made up stories about him. âHow did Feng Ruqing come to hear about that?
âThis is indeed ruining my reputation!â
âXiao Qingâer, Iâm an ordinary man.â Finally, Jiu Ming was done vomiting. He walked toward Feng Ruqing again and gritted his teeth. He said, âDonât talk about such disgusting matters with me. If I were to want to fall in love with somebody, Iâll fall in love with you.â
âBut, I like the state preceptor only.â Feng Ruqing smiled happily. âIf you have no feelings for the state preceptor, then we can be friends. If not, I wonât even be friends with you.â
Nan Xianâs cold facial expression changed the moment he heard what Feng Ruqing had said.
A soft smile played on his lips. He gently stroked the hair that covered her forehead. âI wonât fall for somebody like him. My taste is better than that. Even if he has any kind of notion, I wonât accept him.â
Jiu Ming was speechless.
Qing Zhu looked at Nan Xian in shock.
âWhat does that mean? Does Master really think that Jiu Ming likes men? If he does, the princess will surely stay away from Jiu Ming if she thinks that he likes master.
âLove is scary. It makes my master so wicked.â
Nan Xian seemed to read Qing Zhuâs thoughts. He looked at Qing Zhu coldly. Qing Zhu was so frightened that it shut its mouth and retreated.
âYes, I know nothing.â
Surely, Feng Ruqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiu Ming dangerously.
âAre you slandering me?â Jiu Mingâs facial expression darkened. He stared at Nan Xian angrily. Then, he turned to Feng Ruqing. âYoung girl, listen to my explanation. This guy is slandering me. Heâs afraid that...â
âThe state preceptor said that you have feelings for him.â Feng Ruqingâs smile widened.
That smile was wicked. Jiu Ming could not help but take a few steps back.
âIâll say that Iâm innocent. Do you believe me?â
âThe people from Paramount said that youâre reading the books on that matter. The state preceptor said that you have feelings for him.â
âTheyâre slandering me.â
âFine,â Feng Ruqing responded calmly. âItâs okay. The state receptor does not like men. Thatâs right. If you want to meet me, just come and meet me whenever the state preceptor is not around. Donât come and meet me when heâs here.â
