Although he is the imperial teacher, he is young and comes from a wealthy family, so he is not old-fashioned.

Gongzi Xu, who was always gentle and refined, was even more graceful when dealing with beautiful women. He stepped forward and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you scared?"

"I...you..."

Haitang then looked squarely at the man in front of her. His facial features were perfect and impeccable, his skin was light in color, a little translucent pink in the sun, his eyebrows were long and clear, and the light in his eyes was like a spot of sheen on a jade, and he looked very gentle.

She was wearing a light blue gown, with her long hair half tied up and casually scattered behind her. She had an extremely extraordinary temperament, and in this mountain she looked like a banished immortal.

Haitang stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then shyly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, "I'm sorry, I was wandering around and got lost, and disturbed you, Mr. Qingya."

Ye Zhixu saw the girl's ears were red, her voice was soft, and she didn't dare to look at him directly. He suddenly felt a little funny, "Don't be afraid, may I ask where you are from? How did you get lost?"

"I... don't really want to say it."

Ye Zhixu thought it was inconvenient for his daughter, so he did not ask any more questions. "Do you need me to show you the way?"

Haitang shook her head, "Can I sit here for a while? I sprained my ankle and it hurts a little."

Ye Zhixu was stunned, but he didn't move his eyes to the woman's feet, which was extremely rude...

"Of course. Please take a seat."

After Haitang sat down, she bent over slightly and rubbed her feet under the table. From time to time, her face wrinkled, and she looked a little pitiful...

Ye Zhixu poured her a cup of tea and said, "Have some tea."

Haitang shook her head, "You can't drink with strangers outside. There are a lot of bad people."

Ye Zhixu froze while holding the teacup, with a hint of surprise on his face, "You are not from Kyoto?"

"It's Kyoto."

"You don't know me?"

Haitang blinked, as if she was very surprised, "I don't know him."

Ye Zhixu put down the teacup and gently adjusted the hem of his clothes, "I am Ye Zhixu, and I am honored to be here, young lady."

Haitang couldn't help laughing. Was this little imperial teacher a bit narcissistic? But his question was not unreasonable. How could a Kyoto girl not know Gongzi Xu?

Haitang smiled bitterly and pointed at her feet, "I'm sorry, I can't stand up and return the greeting, it really hurts..."

Ye Zhixu looked at her expression carefully. It seemed like she really didn't recognize him?

"The girl has been staying in the boudoir all year round, right?"

"Well, I haven't been out for many years."

"It's like this..."

Ye Zhixu didn't know what he was thinking, so he stopped talking about this topic and suddenly found it quite interesting.

This is actually a little girl who doesn't know me at all...

Ye Zhixu picked up the teacup and took a sip without saying anything else.

Haitang blinked, with a look of regret on her face. She stared at the cup of tea and licked her lips. "It is quite elegant for you to drink tea here alone. I see you are very happy drinking tea..."

Ye Zhixu smiled and poured Haitang a cup of tea. "I can't say I'm happy, but I'm a little bored. If the young lady would do me the honor of drinking a cup of tea, that would be great."

Haitang reached out to take the tea and muttered, "I see that you don't look like a bad person, so I reluctantly accepted it."

The innocent expression on her face was more vivid than before. Ye Zhixu thought she was not only pretty, but also very cute...

"I see the girl likes him very much."

Haitang looked at the flowers on the ground and felt a little sorry. "Well, my name was taken from you. I have liked you since I was a child."

Ye Zhixu glanced behind him, slowly walked out of the pavilion, and accidentally selected a white crabapple blossom.

"Here, I just caused the girl to lose her love, can I give her one?"
