Aoqian never expected that he would get lost in the Upper Heaven.
He had been trapped in the Upper Heaven for who knows how long. When he came, he was not restricted in any way, but when he tried to leave, he was surrounded by thick fog and could not find the exit at all.
In his hazy state, he didn't know if he was awake or not. He seemed to see his Song Xiwei in a peach orchard, eating sweet peaches with her face covered in them.
"Silly girl."
He longed to get closer to her, but his feet wouldn't move.
"Hai'er, you can't leave. If something happens to your father, you will never be able to leave this place!"
This is the voice of the Celestial Venerable.
...
On the other side, Song Xiwei still managed to taste the lotus-scented pastry. This time, Wu Lai must have used some connections to get her a much larger quantity of lotus-scented pastries than last time.
Song Xiwei ate the lotus-flavored pastry with great satisfaction, feeling so happy she was practically bubbling over.
Wu Lai looked at her face covered in crumbs from eating, and helplessly reached out to touch her face, but Song Xiwei slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?"
"You've got food all over your face, let me wipe it off for you," Wu Lai said.
"Hey, men and women shouldn't touch each other, I can do it myself!" Song Xiwei seemed carefree and easygoing, but she was actually very careful and cautious when it came to this kind of thing.
"You're so wary of me, as if I'm really going to do something to you. Why are you guarding against me like a thief? I don't think I've offended you since we talked things out," Wu Lai sighed.
"No, no, I'm not guarding against you like you're a thief. It's just that I do it subconsciously. Maybe it's because my crush is so jealous. He's so petty. He gets upset even when I talk to other people, let alone let someone wipe my mouth for me. I already consider you a friend, and you and him will definitely get to know each other in the future. If he finds out you wiped my mouth, I'm worried he might not be friendly to you. I'm just taking precautions, you can understand, right?"
Wu Lai never expected that Song Xiwei's will to survive would manifest itself in this way.
Is this still the unrestrained Song Xiwei?
She was actually willing to restrain herself like this for the sake of a lover who was no longer by her side.
Wu Lai's heart began to ache again.
So that's why Song Xiwei likes me and why I receive such special treatment.
He couldn't quite explain the bitter feeling in his heart, and his eyes were a little red. He didn't know how to face Song Xiwei.
It was as if something was about to emerge, but he didn't want to think too deeply about what it was.
He had no choice but to change the subject, feigning seriousness, "There's something I need to discuss with you, but things might change."
"What?" Song Xiwei roughly guessed what it was.
“There will be a grand event in the Heavenly Palace soon. The Empress’s birthday is approaching, and the Heavenly Palace will hold a grand banquet. If you want to make a move, why not wait a few more days?” Wu Lai said.
Song Xi was anxious, but then she thought that this grand feast had come at just the right time, and it wouldn't hurt to wait a few days.
"Why didn't you mention this before?" Song Xiwei asked.
"I thought the Heavenly Emperor was hiding and that the grand banquet would be canceled, but I just inquired and found out that the banquet will proceed as planned. This is a major event in the Heavenly Realm, concerning the face of the Heavenly Clan. The Heavenly Emperor was afraid that canceling the banquet would make him lose face, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed as planned," Wu Lai said to Song Xiwei.
“It seems that Heaven is helping me. Very well, this is also my first time joining in the celestial celebration. Let’s present the celestial realm with a grand gift for this feast.” Song Xi said with a slight smile.
On the day of the Queen's birthday, Song Xiwei was asked by Wu Lai to disguise herself. To be on the safe side, she naturally wanted to resolve the matter discreetly. So, as Wu Lai requested, she dressed herself up as an inconspicuous man and followed by Wu Lai. Apart from her particularly bright eyes, she was ordinary from head to toe and not particularly eye-catching.
