I'm going crazy! Do I even have any personal space anymore?!

Every day I get up early for court, and after court I still have to run around for you, you fox, until midnight. That's fine, I take your money and do your dirty work, it's only right, it just means I have to put in a little more effort and lose a few more brain cells, what can I do when I'm smarter? I accept that. But today is a holiday! A holiday that only comes once every two weeks! In the three and a half months I've been working, the two holidays I could have had a proper rest have been spent with you guys. The other four holidays I had were spent working overtime. Today I finally managed to steal a day of peace, and you guys dragged me out of the Yun Mansion first thing in the morning! Are you trying to kill me?! 555, my life is so miserable!

I sat in the carriage, hugging a cushion and dozing off. Ever since leaving the Yun residence, I'd been squinting, letting them lead me around. I was so sleepy, so incredibly tired. Fox and Erlinzi sat on either side, playing chess. Sigh, those two have such energy! But why are they so energetic? That's right, it's because they're more free and idle than me. They don't use their brains usually; when something happens, Fox just talks, while I'm the one doing all the work, both physically and mentally. As for Erlinzi, he's a general in peacetime, a complete freeloader. Damn it! Thinking about this, I was furious.

I immediately opened my eyes, widening them as much as I could, and then reached out and completely disrupted the seemingly evenly matched game of chess. I guess my anger was incredibly intense; Fox and Erlinzi just stared at me blankly, forgetting to lash out.

"What are you looking at? You two, I finally got a day off to get some beauty sleep, and you two are so inconsiderate as to drag me out of bed so early in the morning, just so I can watch you play chess? I've been working myself to the bone these past few months, and I'm practically half dead. Who has as much free time as you two?!" Well, when I'm really angry, I become nonsensical.

"Beauty sleep?" The fox was a little confused.

"Sufficient sleep can slow down skin aging and keep your skin youthful, understand? Don't think that just because you're pretty now, you can become a grumpy old man in a few years if you don't take care of yourself, humph!" God, please forgive me, I just woke up from a nap and my brain is still sluggish.

The fox's face twitched noticeably. Ah, a beauty is a beauty; even a facial twitch doesn't affect the visual appeal.

"Big...Big Brother, Third...Third Brother isn't...not awake yet, talking...talking nonsense." Erlinzi's eyes opened and closed repeatedly. I said, Erlinzi, are your eyes twitching, or are you giving me that legendary flirtatious wink?

"Oh, I thought Third Brother had something to say about Big Brother's looks." The fox turned to the side, snatched the cushion from my arms, and casually tossed it onto the soft couch behind her. She leaned against me, her voice languid, and glanced at me with those alluring eyes. Her posture and expression were undeniably seductive. Ahem, I admit the word "seductive" comes from my jealousy. The truth is, this fox... well, indescribably sexy!

The fox was wearing a moon-white robe today, with silver orchid embroidery trim on the collar and cuffs. His hair was tied up with a moon-white jade belt, making his ink-black hair appear even more striking. Oh dear, he definitely looked better in moon-white than Erlinzi. And Erlinzi, in his crimson robe, looked indescribably noble and handsome. But, but Erlinzi, you're such a standout, why do you have to stay by the fox's side? Why do you have to let him overshadow you, why do you have to make yourself look so lackluster? My dear, your brilliance shouldn't be buried by the fox. To let more people witness your splendor and be captivated by your charm, you need to stay away from the fox, as far away as possible, understand?

"It's not that I have a problem with my brother's looks, maybe I'm just a little jealous." 5555, you fox, I'm really jealous that you're prettier than me. Look at you, lounging so seductively on that soft couch, if it weren't for the provocative look in your eyes and mouth that tempted me, I might have impulsively pounced on you and bitten you hard.

"That's good, that's good!" The fox smiled slyly after hearing my words. Oh, no, the adjective is wrong, it should be a smile of delight.

"Big brother, second brother, why did you drag me out of bed so early? What's the matter? You can't expect me to sit in the carriage all day!" Well, you'd better have a good reason, otherwise I might impulsively throw a tantrum again! But to be honest, when did I become so bold?

"Hehe, good news, great news!" Erlinzi smiled mysteriously, then looked at the fox, who remained silent, just pretending to be cool.

I was just considering whether or not to torture Erlinzi to force him to confess the truth, and what kind of torture I would have to use if I were to do so, when the carriage unexpectedly stopped. I pursed my lips, got up and climbed down from the carriage, stood still, looked up, and froze!

The three powerful and elegant characters of "Qianzuiju" immediately caught my eye.

"Th-that...this...is it for me?" My mouth started to stammer again. Good heavens, just looking at the imposing gate and the high walls that stretch for miles on both sides, you can tell how big the house inside is.

The fox nodded at me, smiling broadly. Was he alright? Giving me such a large yard, why wasn't he upset but rather overjoyed? I glanced at him again, making sure his smile wasn't a mixture of sorrow and delight, before I felt a little more at ease.

"I knew you'd make that face, you like it, right?" Erlinzi smiled brightly at me, seemingly unsurprised by my stutter and surprise.

"I love it, of course I love it, hahaha!" I laughed. Oh my god, I own a house now, I'm rich now, hahaha.

"Who's this Wei Mian? Did he write the words on the door? They're barely legible, hahaha... Waaah..." I saw the signature below Qian Zui Ju and was about to burst into laughter when Er Linzi suddenly stepped forward and tightly covered my mouth. I glared at him, but he still wouldn't let go, so I had no choice but to bite down on him. I'll bite you to death, Er Linzi, and see if you'll let go, hmph!

"I wrote that word!" The fox leaned forward and stood in front of me, no more than a meter away. Its eyes were fixed on me, flashing with dangerous glints, and it spoke each word through gritted teeth.

I forcefully pulled my hand away from Erlinzi's hand covering my mouth, took a deep breath, and asked in surprise, "Isn't the person who wrote that name Wei Mian? Why did you sign it with someone else's name?"

The fox's face flushed red instantly, and it stared at me fiercely, as if it wanted to devour me alive, which made me shudder. "Fox, why are you so angry? I didn't know you wrote this. If I had known, I would have praised it lavishly!"

“Weimian is the name my elder brother recently gave himself.” Erlinzi’s words floated in my ears, and he sighed softly after speaking.

"Huh?" I couldn't hold on any longer and sat down on the ground with a thud.

I followed behind Longhu and Erlinzi, head down, and roughly circled around Qianzui Residence. Good heavens, this courtyard is huge! It seems even bigger than the Yun Mansion, and its exquisite elegance is no less. Hey, Fox, I was wrong. You were so generous, and I still made you angry. I really shouldn't have done that.

"Do you still like it?" The fox's voice was a little stiff. This guy was still angry.

"Yes, I love it, I love it so much!" I nodded my head like a chicken pecking at rice. Who wouldn't love a big courtyard that's been delivered right to their doorstep?

I was just about to ask the fox why it was suddenly being so kind as to give me this house. Was it a reward for all the hard work I'd been doing lately? Before I could even finish my sentence, a dark shadow suddenly flew over, and then a blindingly white object shot straight at the fox.

I was stunned for a moment, and before I could react to what was happening, with a "clang", the fox dodged the attack of the dark figure, and Erlinzi's sword, which appeared out of nowhere, had already met the masked man in black.

First kiss

Wow, assassins! This is so...so...so exciting! I used to see scenes like this on TV and I was always worried about the handsome male leads and beautiful female leads. But now that I'm experiencing it firsthand, I don't feel nervous at all, just excited and thrilled.

I looked at Erlinzi, who was entangled with the masked man in black in front of me, and my eyes were full of heart-shaped stars. Oh my god, Grandpa Jin, Uncle Liang, and Uncle Gu were not lying to me. There really are amazing and incredible martial arts in this world. 5555, this is so exciting, so thrilling, so unexpected, and makes me feel that the world is a wonderful place!

I danced and shouted along with Erlinzi's every move. Sorry, I was so excited that my tongue got tied and I forgot how to speak. Although I temporarily forgot how to express my boundless admiration and respect for Erlinzi, my mind was perfectly clear: I really didn't expect it! Erlinzi, you've been hiding such amazing skills! Look at your agile movements! Compared to your usual clumsy and slow reactions, it's such a surprise, almost a miracle! To paraphrase an advertising slogan: Anything is possible! And also, Erlinzi, when you fight, you're incredibly cool! You're no less impressive than a fox.

Oh right, the fox? I remember now, there's still the fox. How is he? Why didn't he use his charms to his advantage with such a perfect opportunity? I was just about to look around for the fox; hopefully, that fox spirit wasn't scared to death, hehe. But as soon as I turned my head, I saw the fox standing beside me, calmly watching Er Linzi and the masked man in black, his eyes as cold as ice. Huh? He didn't hide in fear? Since he's alright, I'll continue to admire Er Linzi's rare handsome figure.

Seeing Erlinzi forcing the masked men in black to retreat step by step, I was about to loudly praise him when four more masked men in black suddenly appeared, swords raised, aiming straight at Fox. I was stunned. My left eye caught Erlinzi being entangled by the masked men, while my right eye caught the four gleaming white swords. Fox's stunningly beautiful face flashed through my mind. Alas, was this peerless beauty going to perish in this way, in this situation, and most importantly, in front of me? I closed my eyes, steeled my heart, and thought, "Fox, if I die, you must count it as a sacrifice for the country, bestow upon me the title of martyr, and leave some pension or something for Cui'er and Hong'er." I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and lunged at Fox.

Human potential is truly limitless, like mine. Don't let my lack of exercise fool you; I used to barely pass physical education in school. But this time, I pounced with lightning speed—and the proof is in the broth: LOOK! Before the four swords even touched the fox's body, I had already tackled it to the ground, and the four swords had completely missed their mark.

The fox probably didn't expect me to pounce. After being knocked to the ground and used as my cushion, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then grabbed me and started rolling around on the ground. I was immediately confused. After rolling around a few times, I felt a little dizzy. When the fox finally stopped rolling, I was about to scold him for rolling around on the ground for no reason when I opened my eyes and found the fox's face just centimeters away from me. I could see the pores on his face, hear his breathing, and feel his breath gently brushing against my cheek. My face instantly turned completely red. I belatedly realized that I was under the fox. I shifted uncomfortably, but the fox, with his slightly flushed face, didn't move. I shifted a few more times, but the fox still didn't move, only his face seemed to turn even redder, and there seemed to be a light in his eyes that I couldn't understand. My heart pounded wildly, and I quickly turned my head away, not daring to look at him anymore. I felt that even the tips of my toes were red.

Turning my head, I saw four more men in black appear out of nowhere, entangled with the four masked men from before. Oh no, is there some internal strife? Aren't they all in cahoots? Why are they fighting amongst themselves? Just then, Mu Qinglin had already dealt with the first masked man and was heading straight towards us. I quickly nudged Fox, signaling him to get up. Honestly, did he intend to stay clinging to me forever? Thinking of this, my face flushed again.

The fox lifted me up, then reached out to brush the clothes off my back and tidied my slightly messy hair, his expression utterly natural. I only dared to steal glances at him, seeing his composed demeanor, it seemed as if he wasn't the one who had blushed just moments before. Feeling my own burning cheeks, I thought, "Wow, the fox seems much more experienced than me." Wait, why am I being so shy? The fox doesn't know I'm a woman, that's why he's so relaxed. Why am I making myself so nervous? But the fox seemed to have blushed too, why?

While I was distracted, the last four men in black had already taken down their opponents. I watched them nervously as they approached, while Mu Qinglin stood to the side, just looking at me strangely. What the hell was he doing looking at me at such a tense moment? Did he think those four men in black would automatically lie down just because he was looking at me? Just as I hesitated whether to pounce on Fox again, the four men in black actually knelt down in front of me.

Uh, I admit I was being a bit presumptuous. Because I quickly realized that the four men in black weren't kneeling before me, but rather to Dragon Fox behind me. *Sweat*, I realized I'd unconsciously found myself in front of Dragon Fox. Sigh, am I becoming more and more immersed in this role? He's the ruler, and I'm the subject. If something happens to him during this attack, I'll probably lose my head too. Besides, he was attacked because he was delivering the villa to me, which is why I rushed in front of him and then tackled him to the ground in such a panic. Yeah, that's it, what other reason could there be?

I stared blankly as the dragon fox spoke a few words to the four men, then stared blankly as they turned and moved the people lying on the ground away, then stared blankly at the large patches of bright red blood left on the ground after they were gone. My vision went black, and I fainted. Before I passed out, the only thought in my mind was: these four men in black weren't masked.

I slowly woke up, opened my eyes, and found myself lying on a large bed. A row of exquisite-looking sachets and jade pendants hung on the yellow curtains, with a large pearl? A luminous pearl? The curtain hooks seemed to be made of 24K pure gold, and the yellow quilt covering me was light and warm... Where am I? Why is everything around me so brightly yellow that I'm almost disoriented?

"Cui'er, Cui'er!" I cried out.
