After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 24

Who would have thought that as soon as she finished asking this question, Xiao Yueqing knocked her on the head.

“Your little brain can probably only think at such a shallow level. If it were so easy, why would I have drawn you a portrait in the first place? Wouldn’t it have been better to just bring you here to see him in person?”

Yun Dan thought about it, and Xiao Yueqing’s words seemed to make some sense.

If it was simply to let her see what Dongfang Wuchen actually looked like in person, then Xiao Yueqing had no need to show her a portrait at all.

After all, there was still a difference between a portrait and a real person.

This was ancient times, not like modern oil paintings that were so realistic.

“Since it’s not to let me see his face and remember him, then why bring me to this teahouse and have me look at Dongfang Wuchen? What exactly is there worth seeing about him?”

As soon as she finished asking, Xiao Yueqing knocked her on the head again.

Yun Dan covered her head and muttered quietly, “Master, why do you always hit my head? I’m not very smart to begin with, and you’re going to knock me senseless.”

Xiao Yueqing chuckled softly and teased, “You do have quite a bit of self-awareness, actually knowing that you’re not smart enough. Since you’re not smart enough, naturally your master has to help you think of solutions.

Otherwise, with your current level of intelligence, if you wanted to get close to Dongfang Wuchen, it would be harder than ascending to heaven. After all, this Dongfang Wuchen is different from me. I’m so approachable, while he’s probably the type who keeps strangers at a distance.”

Yun Dan looked Xiao Yueqing up and down with some disbelief, thinking to herself that he could actually say the words “approachable.”

“Approachable? Cough cough… you’re absolutely right. So how exactly does this Dongfang Wuchen keep strangers at a distance?”

Yun Dan didn’t quite understand.

If Xiao Yueqing used the words “approachable” to evaluate himself, then what was Dongfang Wuchen’s way of keeping strangers at a distance really like?

Was it a personality completely opposite to his?

Or was Xiao Yueqing just badmouthing the guy?

Of course, it wasn’t that Yun Dan thought Xiao Yueqing was that petty, it’s just that his self-description was truly incomprehensible.

Approachable…

This was simply the funniest joke of the year.

Of course, Yun Dan just kept these thoughts to herself.

Xiao Yueqing deliberately acted as if he hadn’t noticed anything and began giving Yun Dan a simple explanation.

“He’s the young master of Mingyue Manor. Quite a few women in this Yong City want to marry him, though I haven’t heard of him having any close female companions or childhood sweethearts around him.”

“So from this point alone, if you want to get close to him, seduction is absolutely impossible to succeed, because he doesn’t get close to women, and besides, you don’t look that great anyway, so he definitely won’t be interested in you.”

Yun Dan felt a wave of disdain in her heart.

She thought to herself, if you don’t insult me for a day, does your whole body feel uncomfortable?

What the hell did I ever do to offend you?

But thinking of that pitiful 5% favorability rating, Yun Dan still forced out a smile and continued following his words.

“Then according to Master, how should I approach Dongfang Wuchen more appropriately?”

“Forget about climbing into his bed. Master guarantees that you’ll be thrown out before you even get close to him, and there are quite a few examples of this. You won’t be the first, and you won’t be the last.”

He looked at Yun Dan again and said, “Besides, he won’t like someone like you. You’re not his type.”

Yun Dan nearly choked on her own saliva from these words.

What did he mean that Dongfang Wuchen wouldn’t be interested in someone like her, that she wasn’t his type?

Yun Dan looked Xiao Yueqing up and down and muttered somewhat indignantly, “Master, you really do understand Dongfang Wuchen well, knowing all about his private affairs and various preferences. Do you often investigate him? Tsk tsk tsk, you couldn’t be… ah… it hurts!”

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yueqing grabbed her wrist, causing her to quickly beg him to stop.

She had only meant to make a joke.

Who knew Xiao Yueqing couldn’t even take a joke.

With that serious expression, he was exactly like her former dean of discipline.

Were people who liked to scold others all cut from the same mold and mass-produced?

But fortunately, Xiao Yueqing didn’t really intend to blame Yun Dan.

Seeing her submit, he let go of her hand.

“Haven’t I told you that children shouldn’t interrupt when adults are talking? Besides, what disciple likes to gossip about their master so much? You don’t think I like Dongfang Wuchen, do you?”

Yun Dan thought to herself, you’re really quite perceptive.

You actually would think in that direction.

But actually, Yun Dan really hadn’t considered this point.

She just purely felt that Xiao Yueqing gave the impression of paying excessive attention to Dongfang Wuchen.

However, all of this was actually understandable, since he had something with Dongfang Wuchen, so paying some attention was normal.

Good thing she wasn’t a fujoshi, or wouldn’t she be screaming about how much this ship was killing her?

A peerless villainous demon lord.

A young master with a clean background.

Completely two different types of people.

“Master, I never thought that way, but since you brought it up yourself, could it be that you really do like men?”

As soon as she said this, she immediately shut her mouth.

Xiao Yueqing glanced at Yun Dan.

If conditions allowed, he really wanted to crack open this little brain and see what was inside.

How could she have so many wild and fantastical thoughts?

Xiao Yueqing suddenly leaned close to Yun Dan’s face and scared her by saying, “Do you want to try and see whether I like men or women?”

This scared Yun Dan into immediately closing her mouth.

Although she knew Xiao Yueqing was joking with her.

But making this kind of joke still made Yun Dan’s little heart unable to handle it.

“Master, you’re so beautiful, it would be such a loss to try with me. When there’s a chance, I’ll definitely find you a beautiful master’s wife who’s worthy of you.”

“Then why don’t you consider being the master’s wife yourself?”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

What was this?

Taking in a disciple and teaching her step by step how to be the master’s wife?

No thanks.

She wasn’t that interested anyway.

Besides, sharing a bed with this kind of person in the future—wouldn’t she worry about being killed by him in the middle of the night?

Wait, how did her thoughts go in that direction?

Yun Dan immediately came back to her senses and glared at Xiao Yueqing indignantly, muttering quietly, “Master just likes to make these kinds of jokes with me. The position of future master’s wife should at least go to someone as beautiful as Master. You’ve already said I’m ugly, so I could probably only serve tea and water to the master’s wife.”

Xiao Yueqing calmly took a sip of tea.

He seemed to have developed a taste for this pleasure of teasing Yun Dan.

After a month of spending time together, Xiao Yueqing discovered that although Yun Dan liked to talk nonsense and say a bunch of things he couldn’t understand, she was essentially a very pure girl.

Sometimes so pure that it made him feel a trace of reluctance to harm her.
