"You must be crazy! Following me around like a shadow every day. Aren't you annoying?"
Before Jun He even entered the hall, his voice had already echoed inside.
"I'll just follow you. I must keep an eye on you." Beside Jun He was a willful girl, speaking in a rather loud voice. It was none other than Liu Chunhua from the main branch of the Liu family.
They had met a few times before.
"You're a grown girl. Don't you know how to be shy? Following a man around all day. It's really annoying."
Jun He never minced his words. He said whatever came to his mind, just like his attitude towards Lan Lan before.
"Well, you're a grown man. Why do you keep following a married woman? Don't you know that my sister - in - law is already married to my third brother? They're deeply in love, yet you keep bothering my sister - in - law. What on earth are your intentions?"
Liu Chunhua spoke with full confidence and didn't give Jun He any face at all. She retorted every time he said something.
Jun He couldn't even dodge. Liu Chunhua was like sticky rice cake. Wherever he went, she followed.
"What are my intentions? Don't you know? Can a narrow - minded person like you understand my friendship with Lan Lan? Their love is their business. My looking for Lan Lan is my own business. It's not up to you to tell me what to do here."
Liu Chunhua raised her head, hands on her hips, and said haughtily to Jun He, "Why can't I tell you what to do? If you're doing something wrong, I'll correct you."
Jun He saw Liu Chunhua standing there like a proud hen. He snorted at her and replied, "Hey, Liu Chunhua, who do you think you are to me? Why do you think you can boss me around?"
"I'm..." Liu Chunhua was about to blurt it out but swallowed the words back shyly. Her face suddenly turned rosy.
She actually felt embarrassed.
Seeing her like this, Jun He, who was extremely angry just now, was suddenly amused by her appearance.
"What's wrong? Can't say it? If you can't, then stop following me. What I do is my freedom. It has nothing to do with you."
Jun He turned around and was about to leave when Liu Chunhua suddenly grabbed his arm.
Liu Chunhua was naturally very beautiful. With her acting coquettishly like this, her big, lively eyes blinking, which man could resist?
"I haven't finished speaking yet. You're not allowed to go."
Jun He first looked at Liu Chunhua's slender, fair hand holding his, and then shifted his gaze to her face.
For a moment, Jun He was a bit dazed looking at Liu Chunhua. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong. Just as he wanted to break free from Liu Chunhua's hand, she blurted out.
She spoke very fast without any pauses.
"Because you're my boyfriend. Of course I'll follow you and boss you around. Otherwise, if you run away with someone else, I'll be so lonely."
After hearing her words, Jun He stood there stunned, seemingly not quite understanding what Liu Chunhua meant.
Seeing that Jun He didn't struggle anymore, Liu Chunhua took a step forward while holding his hand. She licked her slightly dry lips and said shyly, "Actually... I've really liked you since the first time I saw you. I just didn't dare to say it at that time. Later, when I saw you get hurt and saw you fight desperately for Sister Lan Lan, my heart ached and felt sour."
"Sometimes I really envy Sister Lan Lan. She has my third brother's love and so many male confidants doting on her. I can only watch from afar."
"But now it's different. My third brother and Sister Lan Lan have been through so much, which proves their unwavering and passionate love. Even if the end of the world comes, they'll never be separated."
"Seeing this, I can also tell that your feelings for Sister Lan Lan are not love at all. From beginning to end, it's just a sibling - like relationship. So today I'm bold enough to say what's on my mind because... I don't want to give up on you."
Liu Chunhua poured out all her thoughts to Jun He. As she said each word, her eyes were fixed on Jun He. The darkness of her eyes glowed. In her eyes, the man in front of her was like a shining sun. As long as she could be with him, she would thrive in the sun.
The two of them stared at each other for a full five minutes. It seemed that the air in the hall had stopped flowing.
Liu Chunhua tried to suppress her slightly rapid breathing, looking forward to a satisfactory answer from Jun He.
But Jun He was also a bit dazed at the moment and didn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing that Jun He didn't respond, the look of expectation in Liu Chunhua's eyes gradually faded, and her hopeful heart became a bit disappointed.
"I'm sorry. I scared you. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
She licked her lips, lowered her eyes and looked at the hand that was still holding Jun He's. She tightened it slightly and then reluctantly let go.
Jun He's hand trembled slightly. Just as Liu Chunhua's fingertips slid across Jun He's palm, Jun He suddenly grabbed her hand back.
This tug was a bit forceful. Liu Chunhua was caught off guard. Her body leaned forward and she directly bumped into Jun He's arms.
Jun He put his other arm around Liu Chunhua's slender waist, looked at her intently, and asked softly, "I'm a demon. Aren't you afraid of me?"
Liu Chunhua looked at Jun He affectionately, with a smile in her eyes. She said gently, "In humans' eyes, I'm a demon too, and a snake demon at that. Are you afraid of me?"
A few snake scales slowly appeared on Liu Chunhua's pretty face and then quickly disappeared.
Jun He gave a sly smile. His charming eyes were full of affection. He replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "Indeed. If we're together, we'll truly be demons running amok and invincible."
Liu Chunhua could no longer contain her excitement and almost jumped out of Jun He's arms. "So does that mean you've agreed to be my boyfriend?"
Jun He didn't answer. His handsome face slowly lowered. Liu Chunhua's shy face blushed bright red. She imitated the way the female protagonist in the TV series and slowly closed her eyes, waiting for the hero's kiss.
Liu Chunhua waited for a while but didn't feel Jun He's kiss.
She just felt a coolness on her face. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Jun He.
At this moment, Jun He was grinning mischievously. In his hand was a writing brush with some red ink that hadn't dried yet.
Liu Chunhua wasn't stupid. That coolness just now must have been Jun He drawing something on her face.
He was a well - known troublemaker. It was no surprise for him to do such a thing.
"Not bad. It's perfect." Jun He laughed heartily.
"Damn Jun He. What did you write on my face?" Just as Liu Chunhua was about to kick Jun He, he dodged behind her. Then he took out a mirror from behind and held it in front of her face.
Just below her right eye, there was a cinnabar mole the size of a rice grain. The mole was like a blooming flower. Instead of ruining her pretty face, it was like the finishing touch, making her look even more charming and gorgeous.
"This is..." Before Liu Chunhua could react, Jun He held her face with both hands, and his slightly cool lips covered hers.
"I'm going to mark you. From now on, you're this lord's woman..."
