After the minor character transforms into a beauty, she steals the heart of a tycoon's son.

The door to the lounge closed behind him.

Si Lin pulled Ruan Tang to the sofa and pressed her shoulders to make her sit down.

She didn't resist; she was limp and let him push her down, causing her to curl up in the corner of the sofa with her hands obediently on her knees, her head down and silent.

"What happened?" Si Lin stood in front of her, looking down at her. "Were you framed?"

Ruan Tang shook her head, then nodded.

Tears welled up in her eyes twice, but she finally couldn't hold them back and they rolled down her snow-white cheeks.

Si Lin was exasperated by her demeanor. "Is it true or not?"

Ruan Tang couldn't figure it out either, so she didn't answer.

Si Lin squatted down and stared at her. "When you speak, you always try to act tough in front of me."

"They were taking pictures of you with their phones in the hallway just now, why didn't you call them back?"

"You think you can just borrow someone else's power? You're so stupid."

Ruan Tang was unhappy with what he said, and glared at him with her red, tear-filled eyes.

A tear suddenly fell onto the back of his hand, warm and hot, scalding the man's heart.

"You've got the guts to glare at me." Si Lin looked down at the teardrop on the back of her hand, her tone not harsh.

Ruan Tang turned away from him, burying her face in the back of the sofa, her voice muffled.

"Am I really that annoying? Does nobody like me?"

Ruan Tang huddled in the corner of the sofa, her hair disheveled and scattered over her shoulders, the back of her head facing him, her shoulders trembling slightly.

She didn't cry out loud, but Si Lin knew she was crying.

The little girl curled herself up into an even smaller ball.

Like a little white kitten that's been soaked in the rain and can't find its home, it's so pitiful.

Si Lin didn't know who was right and who was wrong about what happened tonight, nor did she care.

But he knew she must be heartbroken.

Because even though Ruan Tang didn't say it, she still cared about Lin Xiao Kui and the others.

If you leave her out there, she'll just be a naive and innocent young girl who's just come of age, happily playing and having fun with her friends every day.

He just happened to choose her and pull her into the deacon's camp, stirring up all the storms in Shenglan.

Unfortunately, neither the nobles nor the resistance groups looked down on her, leaving her in a lose-lose situation.

So tonight's incident was nothing more than a minor matter, but both sides are magnifying it and blaming her.

It would be strange if she wasn't sad.

Si Lin silently sat down beside her.

He raised his hand and smoothed down the few messy strands of black hair on the back of her head.

His fingertips slid from his scalp to the ends of his hair, the movement was very light and soothing, unlike his usual condescending arrogance.

Ruan Tang never looked back.

After smoothing her hair, Si Lin grasped her shoulders and turned her around to face him.

"Look at you, your face is all dirty." He ran his thumb over the gray mark on her cheek.

Ruan Tang let him do as he pleased, looking listless with drooping eyelashes and unfocused gaze.

Those worries were still swirling in her mind. Lin Xiaokui covered the blood on her hand, the noble girl was taking pictures with her phone, and the resistance group accused her of forgetting her roots.

Si Lin found it somewhat amusing.

This was the first time he had been completely ignored by a woman, even though he was so close to her.

His large hands, which were originally wiping the dust off her face, gradually took on a different meaning.

Her fair skin was incredibly smooth.

Si Lin used to play with the top-grade white jade in the Si family's collection and liked it very much.

But now that I think about it, none of them can compare to her.

The man's gaze drifted downwards, and the girl's lips were naturally red without any lipstick.

Unlike other women, who always wear full makeup in bed, he found them repulsive.

Ruan Tang's face was clean and tidy, her lower lip slightly pouting, parted slightly as she was still lost in thought, revealing the tip of her moist red tongue.

She sat down in front of him without any suspicion.

She was delicate and fragile, unaware of how beautiful and alluring she was.

Si Lin was not usually close to women, but at this moment, he was a little aroused by her charm.

Before she knew it, his large hand had already cupped half of her face.

Before Ruan Tang could react, the man leaned down and kissed her tender lips.

Unlike the last time when she gently touched him, this time he held it in his mouth.

He took her whole mouth into his mouth, and it tasted sweet.

The man took a bite, then another, lingering on her soft lower lip.

Ruan Tang snapped out of her daze, staring blankly at the enlarged man in front of her.

Si Lin released her, then reluctantly lowered his head and pecked her lips again.

"Finally, they've spared a glance at me."

Ruan Tang pushed him away abruptly, covered her mouth, and stared wide-eyed.

"No, we can't kiss." She stammered.

All those troubling thoughts vanished in an instant, leaving only the person in front of me in my mind.

"No?" Si Lin raised an eyebrow, his large hand sliding down her cheek and landing on her lower abdomen.

It covered that ambiguous place with neither too light nor too heavy touch.

Just like last time in bed, she couldn't stand it and covered the exact same spot with her small hands, trying to stop him.

The little girl realized what was happening, and her delicate face immediately flushed pink.

Si Lin lowered his head, his lips close to her ear, his voice low, "Have you forgotten that night? We did *that*..."

"What's wrong with a kiss now?"

Ruan Tang's ears flushed pink, and she grasped his large hand with her delicate fingers, pushing it away from her lower abdomen. "That night was a special case! It's not possible now!"

Si Lin doesn't care about any special circumstances.

He grabbed the small hand that was pushing him away, cupped the back of her head with his other hand, leaned down, and kissed her tender lips.

Ruan Tang fell backward and was pressed into the sofa by him.

Si Lin hunched over, his back arching over her.

He kissed the little girl's lips again.

"Ugh—" Ruan Tang pushed his shoulders with her two small hands, but couldn't move them.

His shoulders were too broad and his muscles too strong, while her greatest strength was weak and feeble.

Her slender, white legs peeked out from under her skirt, trying to resist, but were suppressed by the man's thighs.

Si Lin freed one hand, gathered her two misbehaving hands together, and pressed them above her head.

Ruan Tang was small and slender; his two wrists, when stacked together, were not even as wide as one of his palms.

She struggled again, her wrist twisting half a circle between his thumb and forefinger, but he pressed her down even harder.

The skin is a mix of fair and rough, yet strangely erotic.

Ignoring her reluctance, the man went inside and hooked his hand around her tender little pussy, then began to vigorously entwine and fondle it.

The little girl struggled in vain, her strength exhausted, and could only be kissed softly and gently, whimpering, but her cries were blocked between his lips and teeth, only a pitiful last sound escaping her lips.

After a while, Si Lin finally released her tender lips and looked down at her.

Her lips were glistening from the kiss, and her little mouth twitched, looking like she was about to cry again.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Si Lin immediately spoke up to comfort her.

But her tone was very unreasonable, "Don't cry, sweetie."

"It was just a kiss."

"It's to help you get rid of those bad emotions in your mind, so you can perform exceptionally well in tomorrow's exam and maybe even surpass Ji Yan."

The little girl's eyes were still brimming with tears, and she glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger upon hearing his words.

"That's a lie! Who prepares for an exam like that?"

Before she could finish her rebuttal, he silenced her with a kiss.
