NovelBookBut then Lily remembered - in James's eyes, she and Jackson were deeply in love, an engaged couple. If she
denied it outright, it might sound suspicious. So she muttered under her breath, “Jackson’s... pretty good-
looking.”
“Mm.”
James felt his chest tighten with jealousy.
He wanted to say that he had abs and muscles too if she liked that sort of thing, she could look at him, touch
him.
But before the words left his mouth, Lily had already backed away quickly and headed for the door.
“James, | don’t feel sick or anything, no fever... Ah-ahchoo! I'm heading back to my room now. Bye!”
With that, she shut the door firmly behind her. As if being in the sroom as him was unbearable.
James stood there, eyes dark as night, the pressure around him dropping dangerously low.
He picked up his phone, already seeing a string of eager questions from forum users.
“How'd the ‘injured seduction’ plan go? Did it work?”
Daily check-in: did you lock it down yet?”
James exhaled another wave of icy frustration and typed an honest reply: “Neither the body nor the wound trick
worked. She wasn't affected.”
“Didn't work?!”
Instantly, more replies poured in.
“That combo didn’t work?! You must be ugly ugly.”
“Wait, no. You said before your looks and body were decent. If you're not hideous, how could this have failed so
hard?”

“Hold on. When you did the whole injury plus shirtless act, did you whimper?*“.
...Whimper?
Whimper what?
James frowned, confused.

“Last time, | cut my butt on purpose and made her put medicine on it. | lay on the bed, whimpered a little,
wiggled around - she felt so bad for me. That night, she dumped her cheating boyfriend and made things
official with me.”
Oooo
James couldn't even begin to relate.
Cutting his lower back was already pushing his limits.
And whimpering while wiggling? No chance.
The cloud of frustration around him thickened. He looked like he was wrapped in a storm cloud.
He had no idea how to “wiggle” or “whimper” convincingly.
Thankfully, a kind soul chimed in with more guidance.
More replies followed:
“I'm a pro at whining and wiggling!”
“Here’s what you do: show off your waist, chest, abs - then go all cute and clingy in front of her. She'll melt on
the spot.”
“If you still don’t get it, search for videos of people acting clingy online.”
“Watch and learn. Guarantee she’ll fall for you!”
“Go now!”
James had never acted cute in his life - let alone wiggled or flirted in front of a woman.
But since they all mentioned that particular video, he opened a short videoand searched for it.
The second the actress playing Diao Chan started whimpering, James's lips twitched violently.
He had to admit that kind of flirtation would definitely break his defenses if Lily used it on him.
But the idea of him doing that?
Nope. Just not possible.
Still, the suggestions kept rolling in.
Stold him to wear only shorts around her or nothing at all.
Ssuggested pretending to be sick and clinging to her.
One even said to get another woman to provoke Lily's jealousy.
Not a single plan sounded sane.
