"No matter how much you want to see me, you have to endure it. Who made you hear such explosive news when I woke up?"

"If I don't wake up, are you really planning to marry Liu Yunshang? This might be a good choice. Uh, sorry, it was just a joke. If you really marry her, I probably won't see you again in my life."

Shen Yanjin's hand holding the letter turned pale, and his sparkling pupils emitted a cold and suffocating light.

"There's nothing more to say. Finally, I love you very much. Don't look for me anymore. There's a saying that goes, 'You can never wake someone who pretends to be asleep.' If you don't handle the arranged marriage properly, I probably won't appear in front of you."

"So, get it done as soon as possible. I'll be watching you, Xiao Liu."

When the last three words came into his sight, Ana Shen narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat abnormal, and a cold snort rang out from his mouth.

"Xiao..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his thumb, which was holding the envelope, rested on the last three corners, twisting them carefully, intimately, and lovingly. Even though his thumb was stained with ink, he had no intention of letting go.

"Xiao Xu, don't hide."

"I miss you so much."

Two sentences of varying lengths came out of his mouth, filled with deep love.

Shen Yanjin slowly folded the letter in half and put it back into the envelope. He walked to a bookcase, opened the drawer, and put the envelope between the books at the edge.

The candlelight flickers red.

Against the backdrop of his long, dark shadow, covering a wall, he looked tall, mysterious and lonely.

…

The next day, Xiao Xu woke up and stretched, then a voice came from afar: "Master Imperial Master, are you awake? I've finished one of the things you asked me to do last night!"

Bai Xi's bright eyes were blinking, which really made Xiao Xu a little uncomfortable.

This guy was quite cute when he was a child, but his face became too ascetic when he grew up, and he often made expressions that didn't match his appearance.

"Well, tell me about it."

Bai Xi chuckled and reported, "Didn't the Imperial Master want to find out the identity of the woman who impersonated you? I found it out."

Find out in one night?

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Xu's face, but he then regained his composure.

"Pretty fast."

Hearing this affirmation, Bai Xi's smile deepened. He continued, "The woman who pretended to be you is called Wu Jingyi. She lives in a remote town in Huan'an City, a place with no roads leading to it, Yi'an Town. She's the only one in her family. She lost her parents at a young age. She originally had a younger sister, but she was deceived and taken away. She's been alone ever since."

After going through all these things, he can still look so heartless. It is both a blessing and a curse.

Bai Xi: "She was able to survive because the villagers took good care of her because her father used to be a teacher in the village. She left the village because there was a plague and she escaped."

plague?

Seeing that Xiao Xu was listening intently, Bai Xi continued, "After she escaped, she headed north. She later heard rumors about you, especially about your disappearance. As she listened, she realized she looked a lot like you. With no money on her, she decided to impersonate the Imperial Master. She chose a remote town, far from the emperor, and lived a comfortable life under her fake identity."

Needless to say, she could guess that after his identity was discovered to be fake, he was afraid of being caught, so he fled to the capital.
