After the wrong flirtation, I became the villain's favorite

There was a dreamless night. When she opened her eyes again, the morning light shone through the heavy gauze curtains. There was a faint smile on the corner of Song Nihuan's lips. It was a good day today and the wind was gentle.

There was a pile of papers on the bedside. Song Nihuan leaned over to take a look. There was a faint gold sprinkled on the slightly yellow papers. They were all top-grade Chengxintang paper.

Her hand brushed across the delicate texture of the paper, and the scene of her farewell to Xie Yunji last night emerged in her mind.

Although we lived in the same courtyard, we were reluctant to leave.

He walked her to the door. In fact, he could have gone further inside, but he observed etiquette and never entered her boudoir.

The young man standing at the bottom of the steps was tall and slender. Because he was in mourning, he did not wear exquisite brocade, but a fine linen robe. His eyebrows were like distant mountains and his face was like a jade crown.

He looked at her quietly, holding her hand but not letting go, and said gently: "Go back and have a good sleep."

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The young man's eyes were gentle and lingering. Song Nihuan's heart was moved slightly. If you like someone, you want to be close to him. The next moment, she couldn't help but hug him.

In his arms, she could smell the pleasant scent of books and hear his disorderly heartbeat.

This was the first time she dared to rely on someone wholeheartedly.

Song Nihuan stood up and sat in front of the bronze mirror. She took a closer look and saw an obvious red mark on her slender white neck in the mirror.

She knows what it is.

Xie Tan had left something similar last time.

But this time was different from last time. Last time she was both embarrassed and annoyed, and was worried that others would find out.

And this time...

She thought of the passionate kiss last night...it really seemed like a dream.

I never thought that the gentle and elegant Xie Yunji and Xie Hanlin also had such a side.

After she threw herself into his arms, his kisses fell all over her, spreading from her eyes to the tip of her nose, then to her plump lips, and then to her neck.

The lips and teeth are close together, raw and tender.

This kiss carried an indescribable love for Xie Yunji. He wanted to control himself from giving too much, but he was also annoyed at his own uncontrollable indulgence.

He knew he shouldn't be so attracted to her, but by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

He could no longer cut her out of his life so easily.

Song Nihuan collected her chaotic thoughts. Although she didn't need to panic like last time, it was really embarrassing for people to see such traces. She tried to cover them up with lead powder in front of the bronze mirror...

Linglong heard the noise and came in suddenly, just in time to see this scene, and exclaimed: "Oh, what's wrong with your neck?"

He quickly put down the silver basin in his hand and walked over to take a closer look: "What happened? It's fine. Could it be that there is some poisonous insect? I'll call the court doctor over now."

Song Nihuan held her down, feeling extremely embarrassed, and whispered, "Don't, don't, it's okay."

Seeing her hesitant look and her face turning red, Linglong suddenly realized that the young master is already in his twenties. If it were someone else's age, he would have become a father long ago. It's not easy... He's just holding it back.

"Cousin, have you taken your medicine?" Linglong asked.

"What medicine?"

"Avoiding the child, the young master is still in mourning..."

Song Nihuan's face turned even redder, "No! He and I didn't! You are an unmarried little girl, don't say these things!"

Maids in wealthy families, especially those who serve young masters, were originally selected based on the maids who serve in the first room of a young master's room, so that they could teach the young master how to deal with people.

However, when Xie Yunji was young, he often followed his father to study under famous teachers and traveled around, so he did not spend much time in the mansion.

After returning home after completing his studies, as he grew older, he became the kind of person who could make people feel warm as long as he wanted to. In fact, he was cold and resolute inside, with a persistence that no one could shake.

Just because he doesn't need maids doesn't mean they don't understand.

She has not yet finished mourning, and if she gets pregnant during the mourning period, it will be a huge shame for the Xie family.

Linglong had to check for the young master. She asked carefully, "Really? Even at this point, can the young master... hold back?"

Song Nihuan simply turned her back. Actually, it's not that she didn't know what was going on. She had heard all kinds of obscene poems and songs in the brothel. But when such a thing happened to Xie Yunji, she couldn't help but blush.

Sleep with him... on the same couch, and do the most intimate thing between a man and a woman?

Simply unimaginable.

It became concrete that he was her future husband.

Days passed one by one, and at the end of summer, the girls stopped their classes at Songjian Mingyue Hall, because the men who had passed the academy examination would take part in the annual autumn examination in August.

After all, the Xie family is a scholarly family, and their descendants are not too bad. In addition, with Xie Yunji's almost rigorous teaching over the past three months, most of the Xie family men have passed the entrance examination.

This is a happy event worth celebrating for ordinary families, but for a family like the Xie family, where most of their candidates have passed the imperial examinations, it is just the threshold of the imperial examination.

After that, one will pass the provincial examination. Only those who become successful candidates can take part in the metropolitan examination. Next, there will be the palace examination where one will meet the emperor. The palace examination is divided into first, second and third classes. After going through multiple levels of examinations, the true cream of the literati will stand out.

It sounds simple, but in fact, some people may only stop at the provincial examination in their lifetime, and most of them are old scholars and juren with gray hair.

For another group of people, it takes decades from the college examination to the palace examination.

The current emperor did not cancel this year's autumn examination because of the earthquake, which shows how much importance the emperor attaches to the selection of literati. However, Xie Yunji did not participate in presiding over this year's imperial examination because he was in mourning at home. In some ways, this was a good way to avoid suspicion.

Besides, at the moment, the provincial examination is a big event for scholars all over the world. It is the watershed between being able to study well and studying in vain.

But for a top scholar like Xie Yunji who won the top three places in the imperial examination, it was nothing.

"Did the eldest son get the top three places in the imperial examination?" Song Nihuan asked in surprise, without even having time to swallow the tea in her mouth.

Linglong couldn't help showing off: "Of course, cousin, you know that Yunjing is full of talented people. Yunjing's champions are not comparable to those from other places! Back then, the eldest son won the champion in the Shuntian Prefecture's provincial examination when he was just twelve years old. That's amazing!"

Da Zhao has a vast territory, divided into north and south by the Luo River. The south is called Jiangnan. Jiangnan is a fertile land with many talented people and scholars. However, the competition is not as great as Yunjing, where noble families gather.
