Chapter 9
Liu Zhenyun lived in Bai Shi’s house for a few days, spending his time there to cook for him, warm his bed, and give him flowers every day.

During dinner on the fifth day, he stared at the Emperor, “Bai Shi, when are you going to my family to propose marriage?” Bai Shi calmly ate but didn’t answer.

Liu Zhenyun’s big eyes stared at Bai Shi — others had said that Liu Zhenyun’s eyes were black like a chessboard, quiet as the river and flashing like the stars. He decided to make full use of this temptation. He didn’t believe that Bai Shi could hold it in after being stared at like this.

Bai Shi sighed. He had been sighing often recently, his resolve getting worn out quickly. He lightly said, “You still need to work hard.” Then he got up and left.

Liu Zhenyun touched his chin. He told me to work hard and to have hope! Does the Emperor mean that I have not done enough in these five days?

So on the sixth day, Liu Zhenyun sent three bunches of flowers, confessing in the morning and evening. Even with the heat of his many confessions, Bai Shi still wasn’t moved. Liu Zhenyun’s teeth itched and he decided to use his seduction technique.
