Heroic Death System (BL)

ARC 8 : COVENANTOR

Chapter 81

"Butler Fei, get someone to make a few sets of clothes for Shang Ze. I'm going back to the capital next month." After a pause, Lu Xiufan added, "Prepare several sets for all four seasons."

"Understood." Fei Lin nodded and consented. The meaning behind Lu Xiufan's words were obvious. He was planning to take Shang Ke with him back to the capital.

Lu Xiufan is the younger brother of the Prince (the husband of the Queen). As his subordinate, Shang Ze also needs to pay attention to his appearance. What Fei Lin was more worried about was that covenantors were not good at social interactions, nor will Lu Xiufan introduce his identity to people. If he accidentally clashes with aristocracies, the unlucky one would no doubt be those aristocracies who picked fights out without better things to do.

Lu Xiufan attracted hate easily enough already. To help him pull less aggro, Butler Fei really racked his brain to pieces to help him obtain a more favorable impression.

That night, Fei Lin found Shang Ke and repeatedly warned him to keep as much distance from miscellaneous people when he heads to the capital next month. If he really couldn't avoid them, then he should at least act more politely and modestly. At the same time, Fei Lin also gave Shang Ke a set of etiquette specific manuals as well along with clothes that fit his station. He had him understand everything well to prevent him from becoming a laughing stock or offending someone by accident.

Shang Ke was no stranger to these etiquettes and social rules. Under the supervision of Fei Lin, Shang Ke read it carefully over and over, and sincerely received his guidance, and finally passed his assessment with ease.

Except for Shang Ke's lack of expression, the other etiquettes were almost impeccable, but Fei Lin always felt like something was off. After observing him for a long time, he finally had a stunned realization. Shang Ke's expression was too cold. No matter how humble he appeared, he gave a feeling of being superior. Different from Lu Xiufan's solemn prestige and cold arrogance, Shang Ke was supercilious, really and truly indifferent, unmoved by external matters.

"Shang Ze, smile, like this." Fei Lin displayed a modest smile for Shang Ke to see.

Shang Ke looked at his slightly wrinkled smiling face blankly as countless f*ck your mom crossed his mind.

"Shang Ze, facial expression is one of the important channels for communication between people. Even if you can't smile, you can move the corner of your mouth as much as possible, such as this." Fei Lin curved up the corners of his mouth. "Come, you can try."

Shang Ke pursed up his lips, revealing a smile-like expression that looked even colder than when he was without expression, along with skillful sarcasm.

Fei Lin continued to patiently guide him, "You can try to extend the process of pulling the corner of the mouth a little more. Try again."

Shang Ke slowly curved his mouth, like the sloth in Zootopia, and fixed the ridiculously mocking smile on his face in a very strange way.

Fei Lin: "......" Even God can't save this paralyzed face!

"Pft" A low laughter that couldn't be contained suddenly came from outside.

"Master." Fei Lin embarrassedly saluted as he walked in. At the same time, he thought in shock: Master laughed just now right? He laughed! It was definitely a laugh!

"You don't have to teach him anymore, just let him be." Lu Xiufan strode across the room and stepped in front of Shang Ke, and gently said, "You don't have to force yourself. A smile is from the heart. I have to face fake smiles everyday, there is no need to add one more."
