"You still asleep, Fatty Jiang? Get up! If Senior Brother Shui comes looking for you again, you'll be in real trouble!" In Wei Fan's room, a little girl was pinching Wei Fan's nose. She had large, sparkling eyes. Tucked behind her ear was a thin strand of pink hair. Her cheeks were flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, giving her an incredibly cute appearance that made one want to pinch her back.
The girl pinched for a long time, but Wei Fan still wouldn't wake up. Annoyed, she suddenly broke into a smile.
If Wei Fan had seen that smile, he would have run for the hills. This was the signature smile of the "Little Devil" of the Brotherhood of Heavenly Sects, and no one in the entire sect was immune to its terror.
After flashing her smile, the girl suddenly leaned in and bit Wei Fan's nose.
"Ouch!" Wei Fan yelped in pain, but still refused to open his eyes. "I'm wrong! I'm wrong! Please forgive me! I swear I'll never sleep again! Spare me, please!" he wailed pitifully.
Unfortunately, the little girl knew him too well. She was completely unmoved. She kept her teeth clamped firmly on his nose.
Wei Fan cracked one eye open a sliver. He felt something stirring on his chest. Before he could register what it was, a tiny hand slithered up and pulled his robe open.
"What the heck?" He looked down and found the girl, who was still attached to his nose, staring intently at his chest. She blinked, seemingly confused by what she saw. Her bite even loosened slightly.
The girl then felt something smooth and unfamiliar brushing against her chin. She blinked, trying to focus on it. And when she looked down, she saw something completely unexpected. Wei Fan's pained expression had morphed into a foolish, lopsided grin.
It finally dawned on her that the thing brushing her chin was Wei Fan's hand, which had somehow snaked its way there. "You... you dare!" The girl was instantly enraged. This brat's audacity was off the charts! She vowed to retaliate for this outrage.
She prepared to bite down harder, but Wei Fan, sensing his head was free, quickly pulled it back inside his hood. He pulled so hard that he almost lifted himself off the bed. Riiip! A tearing sound echoed through the room.
For Wei Fan, the only thing he could register in that instant was... a fragrance. It was an incredibly pleasant scent. He was lost in it when the girl finally grasped the gravity of the situation. Young as she was, she understood that what was happening between a boy and a girl was far from simple.
She quickly let go, but his head was already gone. After she released him, he didn't immediately pull his head back out. Instead, he mumbled to himself, lost in thought. "My first kiss... so this is what a girl tastes like..."
The little girl's face was now burning crimson. She was at a complete loss. All she could do, still on her hands and knees on the bed, was stare blankly at Wei Fan, who was muttering to himself.
Suddenly, Wei Fan snapped out of it. He realized he was in huge trouble. He had just taken the first kiss of the "Little Devil" of the Brotherhood of Heavenly Sects! She was the daughter of the Sect Leader! If this news ever reached the Sect Leader's ears, he was doomed. The entire sect would probably turn against him.
"I absolutely have to find a way to keep this a secret. I'm dead if this gets out." Wei Fan's mind raced. He needed a plan, fast. He tried to calm down and think. "Hah! The easiest way? Make her my wife! Yeah, that's it, I'll make her my little wife!" The thought struck him like lightning. He glanced at the girl and his grin widened. "I'll just walk her home, and then we can get married. Simple, right? The important thing is to be quick!"
Wei Fan, thinking he was a genius, had no idea how ridiculous his plan was. He cleared his throat and addressed the girl. "Hey, how about I walk you home? I mean... I have an idea. I already kissed you, you know? I can't just abandon you now. If you're willing, I could... take care of you for the rest of my life." Wei Fan, who was usually so suave, stammered a bit.
The girl was stunned at first, but once his words sank in, she understood immediately. "Hah? What are you saying? Take care of me for the rest of my life? As if anyone would want that with you!" She was angry, but her cheeks grew even redder. "You... you already..." She couldn't even finish her sentence, too embarrassed to go on.
"Already what? Already kissed you? Well yeah, you bit me first, I was just returning the favor." Wei Fan tried to defend himself.
"You... you have no shame!" The girl was even more furious now. But she also realized this had gone too far. She had to find a way out, fast. "I'm... I'm going home!" She scrambled off the bed, not daring to look at Wei Fan again. "Just you wait! I'm going to tell the Sect Leader!" She ran out of the room.
"No, wait!" Wei Fan panicked. "I was just joking! Don't tell!" But the girl was already gone.
Wei Fan clutched his chest. "Oh man, this is a mess." He slapped his forehead. "What do I do now? Marry her or not? If I don't, I'm in deep trouble." He racked his brain for an idea. Then he remembered something.
"That Little Devil is the Sect Leader's daughter. If the Sect Leader ever finds out about this... ugh." He shook his head. "I have to find her before she tattles. Maybe I can negotiate or something."
He rushed out to catch her, but by the time he got outside, she was nowhere to be seen. "Where did she go?" Wei Fan scratched his head anxiously. "I've got to find her, fast."
