23 Entering The Academy Part Two

The lift to the Academy was very big, about the size of two standard train cars. Feng Xi sat lazily leaned up against Prince Jin for one reason and one reason only. Because sitting next to him allowed her to lounge about. She was making full use of the fact that no one dared to sit near Prince Jin so she was able to stretch out her legs as she leaned her back up against Prince Jin's shoulder. Seeing all the eyes that were filled with hatred plastered on to her, Feng Xi couldn't help but rub in the fact that they were all squished together. "Jin'er was it always this spacious and comfortable on the lift?"

Everyone else who had jammed into the lift in order to not be late for school all wanted to rip Feng Xi to pieces! She was taking up so much space and even her little servant was stretched out lazily! But none of them dared say a word. From what they had heard earlier it seemed that Feng Xi was now in fact engaged to Prince Jin, making her one step away from being his princess consort!

Feng Lan who was a little better off than the rest due to the two boys she was sitting in between giving her space ground her teeth in hatred. She was screaming in her head: 'That should be me! Just you wait! I will make Prince Jin fall in love with me. Only then will you know where you stand Feng Xi!' Ever since the text message from her mother she wanted to rush up to Feng Xi and kill her. But she resisted because her mother still had a plan to take Feng Xi down.

Feng Lan was working up scheme after scheme. She wanted nothing more than to watch Feng Xi suffer an unimaginable death! Just the thought of the look of despair and fear in Feng Xi's eyes made Feng Lan smile.

"That ugly sister of yours is plotting something." Prince Jin poked Feng Xi's side and said.

"It's fine, she can plot and scheme all she wants. I will just beat her at her own game. Plus anything she thinks up would be like fighting with a four year old, while the real master who is behind her is the one I have to be careful of. " Feng Xi had noticed that Feng Lan was not good at scheming, she always wore what she thought on her face once she got angry. This made it easy to know she was going to try something. Like now how she just stared at Feng Xi with an evil smirk on her face. Feng Xi figured the stupid girl didn't even know she was making such an expression.

Feng Xi suddenly thought of something and casually said: "Lan'er if you keep staring at Jin'er, Jin'er might use your face as a punching bag!"

Hearing Feng Xi's words, Feng Lan finally came back to her senses. "Big sister I was not staring at His Highness, Prince Jin. I was just wondering why you get to have so much space while the rest of us have to squish together."

"Oh?" Feng Xi looked around and asked: "Does everyone else want to know as well?"

Everyone quickly shook their heads, one boy even said: "Haha! How could we make such a beauty like you Feng Xi, get squished? I can see that Prince Jin has a good eye when it comes to women!"

Hearing that he had good taste in women made Prince Jin happy. He tried to put his arm around Feng Xi only to feel a sharp pain in his arm "Ow! Xi'er that hurts! Stop! Why are you pinching me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was a bug on my shoulder so I tried to squish it!" Feng Xi looked up at Prince Jin, not a trace of sorry could be seen in her eyes.

Prince Jin did not give up and quickly wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her into his embrace causing Feng Xi to yelp out in surprise. "Prince Jin, you rogue let me go!"

"Xi'er, I am just making sure the bugs can no longer get to you!" Prince Jin gave a sly grin as he hugged Feng Xi tightly.

"You! You!" Feng Xi was speechless! She never thought he would use her excuse to take advantage of her. What made it even worse was that the way he held her trapped her arms making it so she couldn't escape his embrace!

"Are handsome, I know!" Prince Jin smiled cheekily.

Feng Xi did not say a word, she only snorted and found a comfortable spot before closing her eyes. 'Since I can't escape, I will just use you as a pillow!'

Her actions made Prince Jin let out a light chuckle as he gazed at her warmly. He had noticed that although she was rough with her words and rejected him without a thought, she was not opposed to his touch. When he thought back to just a few days ago when she whimpered and cried due to him going overboard, he had made sure not to do anything like that again. His hands were always careful as to what they touched and he never made it so she could not move her own body. If she really opposed him she could escape at any time.

Even Feng Xi did not realize that she had become so comfortable with Prince Jin, in such a short time, that she did not even really try to escape his actions. Even this embrace was loose enough to get away if she really tried. But instead, she repositioned herself and snuggled her head into his chest to fall asleep. It seemed Feng Xi had not even realized her own actions.

The lift to the Academy was a five hour ride. It was very slow since it was such a steep incline. The snow on the treetops below slowly became less and less. While the air outside went from freezing cold to springtime weather. Seeing how they were almost there the lift became noisy once again. This caused Feng Xi to furrow her brows as they slowly opened. The first thing that fell into her sight was Prince Jin's handsome face. It caused her to stare at the handsomeness in front of her. She whispered "Cute" as she reached up and caressed his face, only to freeze in the middle of her actions with her hand placed on his cheek. 'What the hell am I doing!?' were the first thoughts that came to her mind as she woke up a bit more.

Her face turned red and she quickly pushed on Prince Jin's chest forgetting she was actually still in his lap and almost teetered over only to be pulled back into Prince Jin's embrace. "What are you doing!? Are you still sleeping? You could have gotten seriously hurt if you fell just now!"

Hearing Prince Jin's reprimand she looked at where she was and realized she really could have gotten herself hurt. Feeling quite embarrassed Feng Xi slid out of Prince Jin's lap and sat on the seat next to him and whispered: "Thank you..."

"It's fine as long as you are not hurt. You should wake up your servant. We are almost there." Prince Jin said as he pointed over at Ru'er, who was curled up on the seat sound asleep. Prince Jin wondered how this master and servant pair could sleep so much!
