I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 58: 3. Shi Jing (Nuan)

He seems familiar. She pondered. It's like on the tip of her tongue but can't figure it out who.

"Jing are you alright?" the teenager asked rhetorically one more time.

Sheri snaps out from her thought. "Oh I'm ok." Sheri said positively and gets up.

"You keep on tripping over. How did it happen that you throw your self-on the river? Were almost adult

now and yet you never change. You're like a girl so clumsy." The teenager amusedly said.

Sheri analyzes the teenager in front of her. He traditionally wears a dark robe. He undoubtedly

possesses a handsome face but if he grows up he will be a panty dropper.

"Hey, Jing your daydreaming again." he chuckled gleefully.

Sheri knows this young kid is the crown prince due to the memory of the body.

Sheri carefully copied the owner's body reaction toward him. " Your highness, how can I help you?"

"Well as soon as I overheard you typically throw your self again at the river. I came to check on you."

Lou Xi said.

" Ayoo, the crown prince has come willingly all the way here to see this humble servant. What an

honor." Sheri said.

"Sigh, at least you're alright. You're so clumsy. Why don't we train together? Wait, Join me now as I

train with your father. " Lou xi smile.

Sheri pointed her head. "This is enough for me to train," Sheri said.

Lou Xi chuckled. " You better come." Lou Xi grasps her hand and was supposed to pull her but stop.

"Look at your hand it's too soft like a girl." tauntingly he said.

Sheri jerked her hand.

"Your highness. I am really content about what I'm doing. Books are my forte and beside father has

thought me the basics of what you're doing." She smugly said.

Sheri already possesses enough extensive knowledge when it comes to fighting so for her she doesn't

need to.

The only thing she wanted to know is which era is this. She wanted to know about the way their lives

here and everything. Especially the local food.

The crown prince slaps her behind her head making her winced in pain and naturally wanted to

retaliate, but she was thinking it would be child abuse.

"You keep on daydreaming again. Sigh. You absolutely amazes me." Lou Xi said while shaking his

head.

When Sheri gets up and straightens up her clothes. She heard a commotion at their front gate.

She frowns together with the prince.

They walked toward the courtyard leading to the corridor of the front gate.

When they carefully approached the commotion, the father of Shi Jing ceases, them.

"Your highness, Nuan go back to your study room." He solemnly said.

"Father, what is that ruckus?" asked Sheri.

"It's nothing go and accompany the prince at the Lily room and study there. Prince, excuse this servant.

The training will be postponed for tomorrow." her father said.

"It's alright General," The crown prince said.

"Alright Father," Sheri said. Sheri didn't argue anymore. She has ways to know what is really going on.

She looked at the prince next to her and smiled cunningly.

She seizes his hand and leads him to a close-by wall next to the corridor and main gate.

"Hey Jing where are we going? Your father said we needed to study." Lou Xi said.

Sheri looked at him and smile.

"Are you not curious about what's going on?" Sheri asked.

"Sigh, you and your curiosity." Lou Xi said. Between both of them, Shi Jing is the only one who is very

curious about everything. She will do everything to see and know the truth.

"Your highness, I know your amazing and your skill of martial arts is getting better but can you do me a

favor and squat down here," Sheri said.

"You barely recover and here we go again, with your curiosity. Besides what are you planning to do."

Lou Xi said.

"Stop complaining, your highness," Sheri said. She almost slaps his head.

But Sheri stops what she's thinking. Sheri is making sure she will not lay any hands to this prince or

else she will be in grave difficulties. Especially that she is in the ancient world.

Lou Xi sigh and did what Sheri wanted to do. Sheri went back a few steps in which the prince lifts his

brow. When Sheri is running toward him. Lou Xi panickily speaks.

"What are you doing wait! Wa...." Lou Xi said Before he even completes his words. Sheri already used

his shoulder to go over the wall. The wall is not high about 3 feet.

When Sheri was on the other side of the wall. She speaks softly.

"Your highness. Are you, alright? Can you climb over the wall?" Sheri knows Lou Xi is good with his

martial arts. From birth, he trained himself very hard. Sheri wanted to see the so-called light foot

technique. When no one is speaking on the other side of the wall. Sheri frown.

"Your highness, are you there? yohoo."Sheri whisper and whistle.

After a few minutes, someone is tapping at her back. She looked back and saw Lou Xi gently shaking

his head. Sheri frown.

"How did you get out, your highness?" Sheri asked.

"I went through the west gate." Lou Xi said while pointing at the door.

Sheri looked and saw it was open. Sheri slaps her forehead. She's so stupid she was thinking while

ago about the Chinese movie that she is watching and saw this is always what they do.

While in fact, there's the gate for the servants. She's pondering why she didn't think of it before. She

felt absolutely stupid. Maybe because of the body right now that she's in. Somehow she can't think

well. She's pondering. Suddenly a slap on the back of her head woke her up.

Sheri winced in pain.

"Again daydreaming, come and let's go and check out what are those commotions before your father

sees us. Later you and I will be punished again." Lou Xi said.

Sheri almost punches him but immediately calms down and when she heard about the punishment the

body of Sheri reacted. She felt a shiver on her back. Sheri remembers the way the father of the owner

of the body punished them. They will kneel on the small beans the whole day.

Sheri felt the shiver that indeed the punishment is painful and cruel. She forgot her anger and just

moves toward the front gate. Both of them hide at the back of the big tree close toward the main gate.

Sheri saw a woman arguing at the guard.

"I am the mother of the General. Who are you to stop me?" She shouts while naturally wanting to get

in.

Many eager spectators are gathering outside at the gate of the house of the general. Many of them

start whispering. Sheri tried listening.

"Such a shameful woman. She even calls herself a mother while everyone knows she maltreats the

general had when he was young." One old man said while shaking his head.

Sheri remembered that after the General got promoted. His family keep on flocking at his door and

wanting to have a connection again but the general never acknowledged them. They always come

once every month begging that they wanted to see him but actually just to ask some money. On the

other side, the General didn't bother to see them nor to talk to them.
