His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 20: Strike Up a Conversation (One)

Finding that Ji Ling Shuang was staring at the table on the side for a long time without looking back, Xia Ying and Xie Shu also followed her gaze.

Yu Qing Qian and Feng Chen looked at each other for only a moment before looking away, so no one at the two tables noticed anything unusual.

“Feng Chen, I actually saw Feng Chen on the first day I came to the Academy.” Ji Ling Shuang’s enchanting and beautiful face was filled with excitement.

Xia Ying was also attracted by the cold, handsome man in white, “So he’s the number one genius of the Royal Academy!”

Although Xie Shu’s eyes looked at Feng Chen with surprise and admiration, but they were much calmer than those of Ji Ling Shuang and Xia Ying’s.

Yu Qing Qian lowered her eyes and asked with a smile as if she didn’t know: “That man in white is Feng Chen, the genius of the Royal Academy?”

“Yeah! I heard that it’s not easy to meet him in the Academy. I didn’t expect us to be so lucky.” There was a hint of admiration in Ji Ling Shuang’s beautiful eyes, but not too much obsession.

Yu Qing Qian chuckled: “How do you know he’s Feng Chen?” Based on Ji Ling Shuang’s tone, it seemed that it was also her first time meeting Feng Chen.

“I saw his portrait before.” Ji Ling Shuang continued: “My imperial elder sister and Feng Chen are in the same session. Many of them have portraits of Feng Chen. I saw it accidentally once. Because of his outstanding appearance and temperament, I remembered it.”

“This is also the first time I’ve seen such a handsome, scenic man like the clear moon after rain and picturesque features.” Xia Ying also sighed.

There were many handsome men and beautiful women in aristocratic families, and she had met many men, but there was no man like Feng Chen who could catch her eyes at first sight.

When Yu Qing Qian heard Ji Ling Shuang’s words, her lips curled into a vague arc—she didn’t expect that Feng Chen would be so attractive to women when he grew up. He truly was a peach blossom tree, with peach blossoms in full bloom¹!

She decided to absorb the poisons in his body until her mental energy variant ability activated, then stay away from the peach blossom tree, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

“Should we go over and greet them to get to know Senior?” Ji Ling Shuang wanted to make a move.

Xia Ying also had a restless temper and agreed: “Sure! I also want to see the number one genius of the Royal Academy up close.”

“I’m not interested.” Xie Shu had a cold temperament and wasn’t interested in this kind of nymphomaniac behaviour.  

Yu Qing Qian also chuckled and shook her head: “I’m not going either.”

Based on her understanding of that iceberg black-bellied man, Ji Ling Shuang two would try in vain if they wanted to get close to him.

But she didn’t stop them. Firstly, the two of them were too excited to listen. Secondly, she also wanted to observe whether Feng Chen’s cold temperament had changed after growing up or not.

Ji Ling Shuang gave the two of them a ‘you’ll regret it’ look, then pulled Xia Ying over.

Ji Ling Shuang was enchanting and beautiful, attracting men’s attention wherever she went. As soon as she stood up, many people sitting on the third floor looked at her.

Yu Qing Qian and Xie Shu raised their cups and took a sip in tacit understanding, then turned their heads to look at the two of them striking up a conversation.

Ji Ling Shuang pulled Xia Ying to Feng Chen’s table. She didn’t pretend to be reserved and gentle, and still looked flamboyant and enchanting.

“Need something?” A good-looking man sitting opposite Feng Chen raised his head and asked the two of them with a smile.

“We’re freshmen of this session. Seeing Senior Brothers here, we wanted to greet you.” Ji Ling Shuang said with a smile but glanced at Feng Chen with her peripheral vision.

Feng Chen was holding the wine cup, his expression not changing at all, and he had no intention of talking to the two of them.The people around him weren’t surprised by this. No matter where he went, Feng Chen always seemed to be a luminous and hot body, the most attractive being for women to strike up conversations with. They used to be a bit jealous and envious, but now they were calmer and resigned themselves.

¹‘peach blossom’ is often used in many instances to describe love interests or love-related things. For example, to ‘have peach blossom luck’ (走桃花运) means that the person is lucky in love; to attract ‘rotten peach blossoms’ (烂桃花) it means to have attracted unwanted love. In this case, to have many peach blossoms means to have many pursuers.
