the next day.

Gingerbread had already woken up.

She carefully selected and changed into a beautiful set of robes.

The dress was exceptionally bright, transitioning from pale yellow to hibiscus purple, with a small, feather-like shawl tied around her shoulders—a gaudy style that didn't suit her usual look.

Gingerbread lifted her skirt and paced back and forth in the room.

For some reason, I feel like my current state is somewhat like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

It circled around three or four times.

She suddenly squatted down and asked Xiao Huang, "Huang Huang, does Mommy look pretty in this?"

Xiao Huang glanced at it sideways and rolled its eyes in disgust.

“Woof woof woof!!”

It bit the gingerbread's skirt and pulled it down.

What's so interesting about it?

They dressed like parrots with their feathers puffed up outside Xianyu Peak.

"Woof woof woof woof woof!!"

"You little rascal, stop biting my clothes." Gingerbread smacked the dog's head hard. "Hmph, you have no taste."

She bent down and asked the smelly thing lying on the table.

"Stinky, isn't it pretty?"

Chou Chou excitedly waved her little hands and jumped up and down.

The little hands are just like Doraemon's hands.

Round and super cute.

It's obvious that Chou Chou is her little fanboy.

"Good boy, our Stinky has such good taste, unlike that stinky little dog."

Little Yellow in the corner: ...Tch, its owner said it didn't ride Yellow Handsome!

I looked in the mirror for a while longer.

Standing at the door, hesitating whether or not to go out.

The boy's clear voice entered my ears.

"Want to go get breakfast?"

Then came a knocking sound at the door.

The door panel moved.

Gingerbread stared intently at the handsome silhouette of the boy outside the door. Her heart skipped a beat. She licked her dry lips and whispered an "Oh."

"Squeak—"

She pushed open the door, glanced up at Fen Jue quickly, and then quickly lowered her head again.

He awkwardly stirred his hands in front of him.

When Fenjue saw the hesitant gingerbread for the first time, his smile deepened. He recalled how someone had confidently claimed in the room last night that they were pretending not to know anything.

The way it looks today is quite different from what I said last night.

"Ahem, the Nine Heavens Sect's dining hall is quite nice. Shall we go eat together? After we eat, we can go down the mountain for a stroll." Fen Jue put his right hand to his lips, blocking the corners of his mouth from turning up.

“Okay~” Gingerbread said in a high-pitched voice.

Fen Jue turned his head away, his lips trembling as he suppressed a laugh.

The little liar is so cute.

On the way to the cafeteria.

Gingerbread would occasionally raise her arm to show off the feathers on her little shawl.

Burning Jue pretended not to see it.

Gingerbread curled its lip. This idiot, no wonder he's never been in a relationship in his thousand years!

When we got close to the cafeteria, I finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

With her hands on her hips, she asked aggressively, "Xiao Jue, do you think my new dress is pretty?"

Fen Jue turned around and looked her up and down carefully. He said seriously, "You look beautiful. The pale yellow is gentle, the hibiscus purple is romantic, and the white feathers are clear and pure. It looks ordinary on others, but only you look uniquely beautiful in it."

!!!

Gingerbread felt her face suddenly heat up, and her heart jumped into her throat.

She thought that, given Fen Jue's arrogant personality, it would be good enough if he could even say something nice.

I didn't expect the other party to give such a long list of compliments, and even provide a detailed analysis of why it's so beautiful.

Just like what I used to see on TikTok, this kind of praise provides extremely high emotional value.

Gingerbread pursed her lips and gave a soft hum, "Your taste is pretty good."

After saying that, she turned around, laughed, and ran into the cafeteria.

Fenjue watched her retreating figure with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Gingerbread rushed into the cafeteria, the surrounding noise causing her cheeks to cool slightly.

He patted his cheeks hard and exhaled a breath of hot air.

The Nine Heavens Sect's canteen is famous for its delicious food among all the immortal sects, while the Sword Sect's canteen is notoriously bad.

She ate here last time she attended the Spring Festival Banquet.

Gingerbread walked skillfully to the roast duck window, ordered a roast duck, and secretly glanced at the door. Fen Jue came in just as he was looking for her, and their eyes met across the crowd.

She hurriedly looked away, her heart beating faster and faster.

Don't be nervous~

Don't be nervous, don't be nervous~

My name is Not Nervous~

Gingerbread, don't be nervous. It's just that a super handsome and awesome person likes you, right?

You're so outstanding and adorable, what's there to be nervous about? He's the one who should be nervous!

Gingerbread prepared herself mentally, then carried the roast duck to Fenjue, who was buying her chicken noodle soup.

Gingerbread didn't say anything during the meal.

The brain is working at high speed.

Did Fenjue not know what her senior sister had said to her?

Wait, no, it was Senior Sister who guessed that Fen Jue liked her?

It's better to tell the senior sister by burning away the flames.

It is definitely not the second one.

Fen Jue is incredibly arrogant; he thinks he's above everyone else and would never say such things to anyone.

It's highly likely that the senior sister figured it out herself.

just in case.

Did Fenjue not have such thoughts?

The other person was biting their chopsticks, sometimes frowning, sometimes pouting. Fen Jue tapped the table lightly with his index finger. "What are you thinking about? The noodles will get cold if you don't eat them soon."

"Ah, oh..."

Gingerbread glanced at Fen Jue, met his gaze, and blushed as she looked away.

He lowered his head and obediently ate his noodles.

My mind was filled with so many random thoughts that I didn't even realize I'd finished the noodles.

Fenjue saw her pinch air and put it into her mouth.

"......"

Yesterday I was worried that she wouldn't react, but now seeing her like this makes me a little worried again.

This meal.
