Zuo Luohuan won a lot of points last semester, so skipping class for a day or two had no effect on her. She did not hesitate to leap over the wall and leave in front of Ji Yuezhi. 

 

  After leaving the school, she went directly back home.

 

  Her parents weren’t home, so she didn’t have to explain anything. Zuo Luohan lifted her leg and walked towards her bedroom on the second floor, but halfway there, she glimpsed at the butler coming in through the entrance. She stopped as she remembered something: “Uncle Zhao, where did you put the presents from my coming-of-age celebration?”

 

  A few months ago at Zuo Luohuan’s coming-of-age celebration, she only showed up once, left after that and never came back.

 

  ”Young Miss, do you want to open the presents?” Uncle Zhao thought for a moment and said, “Madam told me to put it all away in the warehouse before.”

 

  Zuo Luohuan turned around and walked down, “I’ll go take a look.”

 

  ”Why have you suddenly returned?” Butler Zhao Bo followed her, rambling, “Last semester, people from the school came a few times, saying that you have been absent from school classes and being a bad influence. Master sent them back, but Madam was a little angry and wanted you to be in school.”

 

  ”She was angry that I didn’t answer her calls.” Zuo Luohuan walked to the warehouse door, stopped and turned to let the butler unlock the door, “I won’t skip this semester.”

 

  The butler took out a card, swiped it on the door lock, and looked at the iris scanner. The warehouse door then opened: “It’s good that you’re not skipping, Madam and Master will be happy, but Miss, today is Friday, don’t you have classes?”

 

  Zuo Luohuan: “……I haven’t had dinner at home for too long, so I took time off to come back.”

 

  ”Then I’ll go and prepare it now.” The butler did not enter the warehouse, quickly turned around and left, he had to contact Master and Madam and tell them that the young lady came home for dinner.

 

  After he left, Zuo Luohan stepped into the warehouse. The first room was filled with gifts from her coming of age celebration. Just from the packaging, it was clear that most of the things inside were worth a lot of money. She skimmed over all the gifts in the room. The butler had divided them into categories according to the surnames of the gift givers, so there was no trouble in looking through them.

 

  Zuo Luohuan walked to a certain spot, raised her hand and rummaged through it, and wasn’t surprised to find a gift labeled ‘Ji Yuezhi’. The name on the box was written by the butler, who had likely written it for her when the gift was received it, to prevent confusion.

 

  She took the gift out, tore off the label, and opened the gift box. A layer of white silk was wrapped around the contents, and there was a card lined in gold, with only one sentence written on it: coming of age present. The bottom part was marked with the signature, Ji Yuezhi.

 

  Zuo Luohuan sight swept over the beautiful font on the gilded card, the other party neither congratulated her on becoming an adult, nor wrote about his expectations for her future. It was clearly perfunctory, but …… her fingertips traced over the signature, she suddenly curved her lips, and a slightly muted and charming voice rang out from the warehouse, with a flirtatious hint of interest deliberately reading the message together with the signature. “Coming of age present, Ji Yuezhi?”

 

  Placing the card on the side, Zuo Luohuan reached out and ripped off the wrapped silk, her eyes fell on the gift lying on the raffia ribbon. At the next second, she could not help but raise her eyebrows and read Ji Yuezhi’s name again in her mind, only this time with slight anger.

 

  She picked up the so-called gift. It had black upright bars of metal, pieced together in the shape of a mask, with a square-shaped mouthpiece protruding from the bottom, which if worn exactly covered the mouth.

 

  –It was a face lock.

 

  Historically, before the development of inhibitors, in order to maintain social stability, alphas had to wear a face lock when going out. Once worn, it could not be broken by human strength, and could only be opened by someone with the key. Omegas wore a neck lock. Both had similar functions, except that the shape and placement of the lock was different.

 

  Now that the face lock was phased out with history, only alphas who can’t control their pheromones at all will use it, and such alphas were practically tantamount to wastes.

 

  Sending a face lock is no less than a sarcastic reference to her poor self-control, or…… expectations that her self-control will fail in the future, it was an absolutely wonderful coming of age gift. As expected of the Ji family, they didn’t miss any opportunity to mess with the Zuo family.

 

  But……

 

  Zuo Luohuan lowered her gaze and looked at the face lock in her hand, her fingers stroked over the splices. It was no longer the past, the production process now is completely different, a real face lock should be cast in one piece, as opposed to this kind where she can break it with just a simple pinch.

 

  As she lifted her hands to falsely fasten the face lock, her eyes darkened: “Ji Yuezhi……” It seems like you can’t tell the difference between a regular face lock and a face lock used for role play.

 

Hash: original said 情趣 (euphemism for “erotic deeds”) face lock. I wasn’t sure how to translate the sentence so I went for “role play”.
