His voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
"The princess probably doesn't remember," he said with a wry smile on his face. He raised his hand to add more wine, but the glass was taken away by the fifth princess.
"You speak first," the Fifth Princess moved the wine glass further away. "What will you say later when you're drunk?"
Bai Yi was a little amused and wondered who was drunk now.
What's more, he can drink a lot.
"Yes, I won't drink. I'll continue."
"That year I was ten years old. I ran away on my own and met you, Princess. I guess because I was so miserable at the time, you mistook me for a beggar and gave me silver."
That was the first time he met the Fifth Princess, the pure and innocent Fifth Princess.
The Fifth Princess studied Bai Yi's face and frowned, "But you look nothing like you did back then."
The fifth princess still remembered this memory, but she didn't expect that the boy in white would be the dirty boy.
The man in white just smiled and didn't say anything, looking at the swaying shadows of the trees in the distance.
Yes, he was in such a miserable state that day, so she mistook him for a little beggar.
She stuffed the silver into his hand, but was worried that his silver would be stolen, so she told him like an adult to hide the silver well and not tell anyone.
At that time, he thought she was silly and cute. Not to mention that she knew martial arts, even if she didn't know martial arts, she could still use poison. How could she be bullied by others?
But seeing that she was serious, he just listened to her obediently.
Seeing that he was obedient, the fifth princess left satisfied.
He looked at her small figure and asked her who she was, and found out that she was the fifth princess of Tianqi.
"Go on."
The Fifth Princess pushed Bai Yi away and said, "My hairpin wasn't lost at that time."
"It's late, Princess, go back and rest."
Bai Yi stood up and wanted to help the fifth princess.
He wanted to take advantage of her drunkenness to tell her something that had been suppressed in her heart for many years, but when the words came to his lips, he still couldn't say them.
"Don't spoil the fun," the fifth princess shook him off, staggered, and almost fell.
Bai Yi quickly supported her and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Princess, I don't want you to think of my embarrassing past."
"What embarrassing past? Just tell me what I want you to tell me."
The fifth princess sat down again and asked Bai Yi to sit down and continue.
Seeing that she looked like she was telling him not to leave unless he told her, Bai Yi had no choice but to sit back down.
"When I grew up, I met the princess again," he gazed at the Fifth Princess. "This time, the princess was with her husband, and that's when I found the hairpin."
Seeing that the Fifth Princess didn't look unusual, Bai Yi continued, "The princess's carriage nearly fell off a cliff, and I saved her."
He didn't elaborate because he knew that what he said was enough for her to remember.
"It was you who saved me that day."
After the Fifth Princess said this, she could no longer hold on.
The man in white stopped her from falling, bent down and picked her up.
Just now, seeing her asking questions in an orderly manner, I thought she was not drunk, but it turned out that she was just forcing herself.
"Sir, what happened to the princess?"
"You've drunk too much," the man in white carried the fifth princess towards her room, put her down after entering the room, told the maid to take good care of her, and then went out.
After leaving the Fifth Princess's room, Bai Yi looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, put away the smile on his face, and sat back down at the stone table where the two of them had just drunk.
He poured himself a glass of wine and smiled at himself.
As expected, he had no impression of the princess at all.
He just spoke lightly and nonchalantly.
In fact, this is not the case. He will never forget the scene of meeting the princess and Qi Xuan over the years.
Ever since he first met her at the age of ten, he couldn't help but pay attention to the Fifth Princess after he returned.
What impressed him most was that one day, Hongyi came back and insisted on taking him to watch a wedding.
He was dragged to the market by the woman in red, and learned from the people that the person he was getting married to was the fifth princess.
He was about to leave, but stopped when he heard this, disappeared into the crowd, and watched her sedan pass by.
He suppressed the unspeakable feeling in his heart and watched her sedan disappear.
From then on, he forced himself not to pay attention to her and automatically ignored the inexplicable feelings in his heart.
His neglect was useful. If he hadn't met her again two years later, he thought he could have deceived himself for the rest of his life.
Two years later.
He went out to collect herbs and met her again.
This time, she was with her husband.
The two encountered bandits, but they were outnumbered.
Soon they were forced to the edge of the cliff.
He stood on a stone not far away and recognized her grown-up self at a glance.
She looked almost the same as when I first met her, except that her brows were filled with worry.
Seeing that they were about to be forced off the cliff, his heart tightened. Without any hesitation, he used his Qinggong skills to fly to her side and dealt with the bandits in front of them.
Seeing that she was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to say something to her, but found that her eyes were on the man beside her.
The man was probably frightened by the bandits, and his legs were shaking like sieves.
Even though she was so frightened that her face turned pale, she still tried to comfort the useless man beside her.
His eyes were stung by the scene before him, and anger surged up in him. He raised his hand and threw the cowardly man backwards.
When he threw the man next to the bandit's body, she was beside him with an anxious look on her face, wanting to check on the man's condition.
Because she was too anxious, she slipped and fell backwards.
He hurriedly grabbed her slender wrist, lowered his voice and told her not to be afraid, then he pulled her up, leaving scars on his hands.
But she didn't even look at him or say thank you.
