Chapter 1572: Seventh Prince (4)

“Hey, kiddo, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night?” Feng Xun came out of nowhere shortly after Feng Wu left.

“What?” The teenager jumped at the sudden sound. When he turned around and saw that it was Feng Xun, he pressed a hand to his chest. “Brother Feng, you scared me.”

Feng Xun rubbed his head grumpily. “What are you doing here, staring into empty air?”

Following the teenager’s gaze, Feng Xun saw nothing but the tall gra.s.s.

“Please don’t tell me you were looking at a pretty girl.” Feng Xun raised an eyebrow and teased him.

However, the teenager immediately blushed when he heard those words.

That was quite the reaction.

Feng Xun immediately stared at the teenager and yelled, “Hey, kiddo, was that what you were really doing, looking at a girl?”

“Ahem —” Instead of denying it, the teenager smiled shyly.

Feng Xun looked like he had just discovered a new land. “Well, well, Jun Linyun, how old are you now? You’re interested in girls already.”

“I’ll be 16 next year!” Blus.h.i.+ng, the teeanger stared at Feng Xun.

Feng Xun laughed. “Alright, alright. You’re 16 and a big boy now. Hey, by the way —”

Throwing an arm over the teenager’s shoulder, Feng Xun asked, “Now, tell me, which family is this girl from?”

Jun Linyun pursed his lips and smiled shyly.

Feng Xun said, “Oh my, are you shy? Tell me. How am I going to help you if you don’t say anything? How are you going to get the girl if you keep acting so shy?”

Jun Linyun turned his head and agreed with his Brother Feng, who was a veteran in such things. Moreover, that pretty girl didn’t seem that easy to get along with either.

At that thought, Jun Linyun nodded, before he shook his head.

Feng Xun was confused. “Why are you nodding and shaking your head at the same time?”

Jun Linyun said, “Brother Feng, I want to tell you, but I don’t know the answer.”

“What?” Feng Xun looked at Jun Linyun as if he was looking at an idiot. “You don’t know which family she’s from?”

Jun Linyun shook his head.

Feng Xun asked, “Do you know her name, then?”

Jun Linyun tilted his head and realized that he had only seen her twice, and each time, he hadn’t spoken to her properly. So —

He shook his head again.

Feng Xun wanted to smack him in the head. “At least you know her surname, don’t you?”

Jun Linyun said, “Hm… I don’t think so.”

Feng Xun was speechless. “You… you don’t know anything. How can you be in love with her when you don’t know anything? Did she trick you? A lot of girls are like that nowadays —”

Before Feng Xun could finish, Jun Linyun shook his head repeatedly. “No, it’s not like that. I only met her once and I hardly talked to her. She didn’t keep it from me on purpose.”

Feng Xun didn’t know what to say. “You’re the seventh prince; every person in the Junwu Empire should know you! Since she knows who you are and she’s still playing hard to get after deliberately getting close to you… Well, well, Jun Linyun, you’ve been swindled.”

“No, it’s not like that! It’s not!” Jun Linyun tried to explain. “She didn’t know who I was! She really didn’t!”

“And how do you know that?” Chewing on a blade of gra.s.s, Feng Xun rested his head on his hands as he chatted with Jun Linyun.
