He had completely changed! When the cool lips left, Ji Yunhe felt as if her mouth and tongue had been burned by fire, numb and dead. She stayed frozen in shock with half of her body still sprawled out across the table.

"Tried it."

Changyi stood up. His silver hair draped down and shielded his face, and his voice remained cold.

"Still no." Still no to what? Still not going to be nice to her? But... did that question still matter...

Changyi pulled out the paperwork from under her elbow, walked around the screen and sat down at his desk. Ji Yunhe still did not come back to her senses.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Changyi's shadow projected onto the screen by the candlelight. He was sitting diagonally on the chair, motionless like a statue.

He held the paperwork in one hand while the other one either covered his face or propped it up. Ji Yunhe was also a sculpture on the table. Her body was stiff, but her mind was chaotic.

After her limbs started to grow numb, she finally moved her arm and got up. But she accidentally pressed into the uneaten dishes and spilled food everywhere.

Then she sat down… but missed her chair. She landed bottom first onto the floor and her hands pulled all the food onto her body.

She struggled for a while before finally climbing her way back into the chair, then she peeked at the shadow on the screen. With all of her banging and clashing back here, the person sitting in front did not move a muscle. He did not even call for servants to come clean up.

The room was now so silent that only the burning charcoal in the pot could be heard. Then someone's approaching footsteps broke the silence.

The person in front of the screen moved, and Ji Yunhe also moved. She did not know what Changyi was doing, but she began to clean the food that covered her.

However, the grains of rice were very sticky, and they flattened against her dress like glue under her haste.

"I have found a new medicine today that can maybe help enhance..."

Kongming came carrying a box, but his voice paused briefly when he walked in.

"What happened to you? Your eye color... Hey! Where are you going?"

Changyi's shadow disappeared, and Kongming walked around the screen with a puzzled face. When he saw Ji Yunhe, his footsteps paused again.

"And what happened to you?"

Ji Yunhe cleared her throat and in a rare moment for her clever tongue, she stuttered.

"I… I fell..."

The monk narrowed his eyes and looked at her with suspicion.

"Rice can also fall flat onto you?"

"Umm... fell hard…"

Ji Yunhe patted her dress, rolled up her sleeves, and took the initiative to cooperate with Kongming.

"Take the pulse and tell me about the new medicine you just mentioned. As for the rest, don't ask..."

Kongming: "..."
