Secretly Pleased

Xie Shiliu was secretly pleased as she watched him struggle. She purposely pretended to panic and freak out, screaming for someone to come and save him. By the time he was saved, he had already swallowed a lot of water.

Xie Shiliu even lied on his body purposely and cried in a heartbroken manner, pressing so hard on him that he almost could not breathe.

Another example was when Xie Shiliu brought An Yexuan to hike through a forest. An Yexuan was already in a bad shape and narrowly escaped death from that walk. He ended up lying in bed for a few days as he had been scared out of his wits.

Things like that kept recurring. Simply put, whenever Xie Shiliu had enough of An Yexuan's behavior, she would think of ways to disturb him.

She would not let An Yexuan die, but pranking him until he had half of his life left would at least allow her to vent anger on Young Madam's behalf, so it was still a pleasure.
