Chapter 209 He doesn't want it, I do
Hua An looked at the clay sculpture that had just been taken out, then at Jun Lanjin, who had a cold expression, and was somewhat puzzled.
What's gotten into your temper this time, Your Highness?
He raised the box in his hand and asked, "Your Highness, are they all?"
Should we also throw away the clay sculptures that are in the box?
That's a real shame.
No one has ever liked the prince so much, making such a little thing to please him.
The key point is that it was made by hand.
"I said, throw them all out!" Jun Lanjin repeated, his face grim, word by word.
Hua An trembled slightly; it seemed the prince was truly angry.
He quickly packed all the items up and was about to throw them away.
Lin Yi glanced at the carefully prepared gift, which was just thrown away, and felt a little regretful.
"Huh?" Ximen Zhu was also taken aback by this sudden change of expression. He reached out and looked at Jun Lanjin in confusion: "Why throw it away? It's such a waste."
Jun Lanjin snorted coldly, lay back on the chaise lounge, closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Ximen Zhu touched his nose, then glanced at Hua An, signaling with his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Hua An shook his head helplessly: "I don't know."
The prince's temperament has been unpredictable lately.
I don't know what happened.
To say he had no interest in the Xie family girl would be an overstatement.
He would also have people secretly keep an eye on the Xie family girl, and the guards would not appear unless the Xie family girl's life was in danger.
But then again, you might say you have something on your mind?
These past few days, every time I've seen Miss Xie, I've had a cold face and a distant demeanor, making it impossible for Miss Xie to get close to me.
Your Highness, Your Highness, you are truly strange.
Xie Mansion.
[Ding, villain's favorability -10.]
The sudden sound jolted Xie Xing awake from his deathbed dream.
Her eyes widened slightly: "Wait? Why has my favorability rating dropped?"
System: [I don't know!]
Why did my impression of you suddenly drop?
Lin Yi had just gone to deliver Xie Xing's food for the day.
Xie Xing had put a lot of thought into Jun Lanjin's painting. It was painted at the Star-Picking Tower, near the end of the story.
Xie Xing was completely baffled.
She quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, opened the door, and went out.
Outside the door, Qi Yi was squatting in the corner, looking at the Gu worm in the bowl, raising it. When he saw Xie Xing come out, he stood up and looked at Xie Xing blankly.
"Miss?"
Xie Xing glanced around and asked, "Is Lin Yi back?"
Qi Yi shook his head.
Xie Xing paced anxiously back and forth in the courtyard.
She had worked so hard to raise her favorability rating by just a little bit, and now it's dropped by ten points!
damned!
How are people supposed to live like this?
As soon as he said he would arrive, Lin Yi returned to the courtyard carrying two boxes.
Xie Xing rushed over: "Lin Yi, how are you?"
Meeting Xie Xing's bright, sparkling eyes, Lin Yi looked away guiltily and silently handed the box to Xie Xing.
Xie Xing took the box, opened it, and took a look.
The sky is falling!
All the things she gave to Jun Lanjin were returned.
Xie Xing was completely petrified; she felt as if she had been struck by lightning and was about to shatter.
"No..." Xie Xing raised his head blankly and looked at Lin Yi: "What happened?"
Why were these things suddenly returned?
Unable to speak, Lin Yi remained silent for a moment, then wrote down on paper and pen: "Prince Jin has instructed you not to send him anything anymore."
He said he would no longer play this childish game with you, and that if you wanted something, you had to exchange it for something similar.
Xie Xing: "..."
She was truly bewildered.
[Could it be because we haven't been in contact for a long time, so his affection for me has suddenly dropped?] The system boldly speculated.
Otherwise, it makes no sense.
He was perfectly fine at home and hadn't done anything to upset Jun Lanjin, so why would he suddenly lose favor with him?
[It must be because you haven't been in contact with these things for a long time; these little things aren't enough for Junlan Jin to see your determination.]
Xie Xing was also somewhat disheartened.
What else can I do?
The system went to learn a bit and returned saying: "What's this about taking a knife for him, resolving crises, or appearing out of nowhere to show him your true feelings when he's in trouble!"
Xie Xing's eyes widened slightly: [To...to block a knife?]
What if I die?
The system said: [If you want to gain someone's favor, you naturally have to give something in return. If you're not even willing to shield them from harm, why should they have 100% goodwill towards you?]
That's true, but...
If I had known the plot beforehand, could I have avoided even having to take the hit?
Why create a disaster when there is none?
Must one's feelings for another only be revealed in a life-or-death situation?
After all, systems are made up of data and do not understand human emotions.
Hearing Xie Xing say this, it replied: "Of course, this is based on advice from other strategy systems; you can use your own ingenuity."
Xie Xing was even more worried.
She glanced at the boxes; since Jun Lanjin didn't want them, there was no point in her keeping them.
Xie Xing simply placed these things in the yard.
Lin Yi caught a glimpse of her retreating figure, and his eyes flickered.
Xie Xing is a very good mistress. She has a clear understanding of the prince's feelings for Lin Yi, and at least she has put her heart into doing these things for the prince.
Her task was to tell the prince what happened to Xie Xing every day.
Even if she didn't say anything, the guards who were observing Xie Xing would report the matter to the prince.
It would be better to let her speak.
Lin Yi glanced at the box on the ground, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
Qi Yi was somewhat confused. He bent down to pick up the box from the ground, opened it, and his eyes trembled.
Inside were exquisite decorations and trinkets, which looked very novel and beautiful. Most importantly, they were all Junlan Jin.
It's all about him.
Even just the flowers in a single box are arranged in a stunning way.
Qi Yi, holding the flower basket, looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Did that prince return everything the young lady gave him?"
Lin Yi nodded silently.
Qi Yi pursed his lips, hugged the flower basket tightly, and couldn't help but say, "He doesn't know how lucky he is. He really is living too happily."
How could they not be happy?
Your Highness is second only to the Emperor.
No one could ever be sold into slavery and locked in a cage like him.
Now there are so many things that the young lady has specially made for him.
What Qi Yi desperately wanted, he disdained.
Yes, he is high and mighty, and has countless rare and exotic things, so of course he looks down on his master's things.
So unfair.
We're all human, so how come he's so happy?
Qi Yi puffed out his cheeks, hugged the box to his chest, and said indignantly, "He doesn't want it, but I do."
Lin Yi: "..."
These are all princes, what use are they to you?
