[ (⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄) ]

Lin Jin grew apprehensive as he heard that statement. This kind of possessiveness was frequently exhibited by Xiang Shen.

Who was this person?

He diverted his gaze from the third prince, attempting to identify the unknown figure, but-

.

『Ding! Character intuition is responding.』

.

Resigned, he simply lowered his gaze back to its previous position.

It's better not to look at this lunatic.

'Poppy is he still staring?'

[Yes.]

'How do you know he is staring when his eyes are covered with the mask?'

[Although I cannot see his eyes, I can sense the unwavering focus through the subtle shifts in his body language. This body you are in has a habit of clasping your fingers and squeezing them when nervous. As your fingers tense and turn a subtle shade of red, he responds with a gentle smile, taking a deliberate sip of his wine. It's like he's purposely giving a silent acknowledgment of the unspoken connection between your nervous habit and his keen observation. It's as if- (•᷄- •᷅ ;) ]

'As if?'

[It's as if, he knows exactly what you're thinking. And somehow, he also knows that you're able to sense his actions, even without meeting his gaze (⊃•﹏•'⊂)]

'...'

[Host, I don't have a good feeling about this person. Please stay alert around him.]

'Alright.'

His performance continued uninterrupted, with only the serene melody of the Guqin filling the room. Despite Lin Jin's apparent immersion in playing the guqin, he remained vigilant in the presence of the man, as if his instincts urged caution.

In essence, his body warned him not to let his guard down around the stranger.

Meanwhile, numerous questions swirled in Lin Jin's mind: Who was this stranger? The stranger's demeanor hinted at royalty, but aside from the crown prince, who else could prompt such wariness from the third prince? Could this be the current crown prince?

Lin Jin's senses sharpened with each passing moment, attuned to any potential occurrence.

However, after a few hours, the esteemed guests departed. Their departure was uneventful, leaving Lin Jin puzzled by the lack of drama. He wondered if he had been overreacting. Perhaps the individual was simply an acquaintance of the third prince?

'They left... Just like that?'

[Yes... (⁠＠⁠_⁠＠⁠;⁠)] Isn't that a good thing?
