Yu Jingchen naturally noticed Nan Zhiyun's gaze, but he didn't say anything. He also wanted to see when Nan Zhiyun would speak up.
Seeing that Yu Jingchen ignored her, Nan Zhiyun silently turned her face away. How should she begin? Yu Jingchen probably wouldn't like these street vendors, would he? But some of the things looked really good… and tasted delicious…
Nan Zhiyun was silently struggling with her thoughts, her brows furrowed. Perhaps because she was so absorbed in her own ideas, Nan Zhiyun didn't notice that Yu Jingchen was looking at her.
Yu Jingchen watched Nan Zhiyun jumping around in her own little world and inexplicably found her somewhat adorable. Was it really that hard for her to speak to him? She was much cuter when she was drunk, and that made her bolder too.
Nan Zhiyun's soul had been captivated by the calls from the side, and now she was incredibly curious. However... Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen again. Originally, she only wanted to take a quick look, just quietly, but she didn't expect to meet Yu Jingchen's eyes, which were filled with a slight smile, and it was the kind of teasing smile. She immediately panicked and felt guilty.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Nan Zhiyun called out.
"Hmm, what are you looking at?" Yu Jingchen asked on purpose.
"It's nothing." Nan Zhiyun's eyes darted away.
"Really nothing? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen leaned closer to Nan Zhiyun.
“…” Nan Zhiyun remained silent.
“If you hadn’t said anything, I would have really thought you were alright,” Yu Jingchen said again.
"No..." Nan Zhiyun tugged at Yu Jingchen's sleeve.
"Hmm?" Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen expectantly.
"What did you call me?" Why did Yu Jingchen have a feeling that he was taking advantage of someone in distress?
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun still didn't change her address.
"What?" Yu Jingchen decided to stick with her.
Nan Zhiyun's face turned completely red.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun was interrupted by Yu Jingchen before she could finish speaking.
"What do you call yourself?" Yu Jingchen was acting like he was determined to make you change your way of addressing him.
“I…” Nan Zhiyun gave up.
"Then what should I call you?" Yu Jingchen hugged Nan Zhiyun tightly.
“Your Majesty,” Nan Zhiyun answered without the slightest hesitation.
"Is it because you can't teach her?" Yu Jingchen squeezed Nan Zhiyun's shoulder.
“Your Majesty!” Nan Zhiyun answered even more decisively.
Yu Jingchen: "..."
"So you still have a temper?" Yu Jingchen found it amusing. He wasn't angry; on the contrary, he felt happy.
"I dare not," Nan Zhiyun said, turning her face away.
Yu Jingchen chuckled softly, somewhat helplessly.
"You've gotten temperamental now? Not bad, you've improved." Yu Jingchen patted Nan Zhiyun's head.
"No." Nan Zhiyun's tone weakened, and her head drooped as well.
"Alright, what's the big deal?" Yu Jingchen comforted her, placing his hand on the back of Nan Zhiyun's head, letting her lean gently against his chest. "Just say what you have to say. It's fine as it is now." Yu Jingchen's tone was gentle, completely devoid of his earlier joking.
"What do you want to do? What have you taken a fancy to?" Yu Jingchen stopped teasing her.
"No, I don't want it anymore." Nan Zhiyun's voice was muffled, and rather than being angry, it was more like she was... well, being coquettish?
"You're really blushing?" Yu Jingchen smiled.
Nan Zhiyun quickly denied it, saying "No."
"Sweetie, I won't tease you anymore, and you're not angry anymore, okay? I see there are a lot of little gadgets over there, want to go take a look?" Yu Jingchen asked.
Nan Zhiyun remained silent; did that mean she wasn't refusing? Yu Jingchen smiled; this little one had quite a temper. Nevertheless, he led her aside.
The place was filled with a dazzling array of goods, and Yu Jingchen first walked over to the lantern stall.
"Do you like these? I see that almost every girl is carrying one, so I imagine you all like these kinds of things," Yu Jingchen said, looking at the lanterns of various shapes on the stall.
Nan Zhiyun was initially a little uncomfortable, but she was captivated by these items. The lanterns were exquisitely made, and there were even small animals depicted on them.
"Do you like it?" Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun, who immediately avoided his gaze. Yu Jingchen was somewhat amused and exasperated; she was getting arrogant now.
"Don't you like it? Then let's go?" Yu Jingchen deliberately put down the lantern in his hand.
Nan Zhiyun moved her lips, but couldn't say anything. The lantern vendor next to her, however, saw this and immediately smiled and spoke up.
"Haha, young master, did you upset your wife? Buying a lantern will appease her. I think she likes it, but she's just too shy to coax you. Look, her eyes were glued to these little trinkets just now," the vendor said.
Upon hearing this, Nan Zhiyun blushed and immediately denied it, saying, "No, I didn't think that."
"Oh, young master, look, the lady is blushing." the vendor continued.
Nan Zhiyun was a little anxious, but just as she was about to explain, Yu Jingchen laughed out loud, and Nan Zhiyun turned her head to look at Yu Jingchen.
“I think so too. Madam is shy, so of course she’s embarrassed when you expose her like this,” Yu Jingchen said, still looking at Nan Zhiyun.
Nan Zhiyun wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right now.
"Alright, that's enough. If you really make her angry, I don't know how to coax her. Yun'er knows I'm bad at coaxing people, right?" Yu Jingchen pulled her into his arms.
"Choose one, see which one you like?" Yu Jingchen asked in a low voice.
"I don't want it anymore, let's go..." Nan Zhiyun buried her face in Yu Jingchen's arms, she was too ashamed to face anyone.
"Tsk, why do you like snuggling into my arms so much?" Yu Jingchen started again.
Nan Zhiyun remained silent, and Yu Jingchen also knew when to stop.
"Sweetie, you're wearing a veil, who can see you? Why are you hiding like this? Do you still want to choose? Or do you want them all? Hmm?" Yu Jingchen affectionately stroked Nan Zhiyun's head, which was fluffy and incredibly cute.
Nan Zhiyun's soft and sweet tone made Yu Jingchen's heart flutter slightly.
"Good? What's good?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"I want them all, I want them all, I'm not choosing anymore." Nan Zhiyun still didn't look up.
What could Yu Jingchen say? Nothing, so…
"Have them all sent back," Yu Jingchen said to Xing Lai, picking up a lantern—a little rabbit—as he spoke.
"Yes," Luckily agreed.
"Let's go," Yu Jingchen said, leading Nan Zhiyun away from the small stall.
"Take this? They all have one, do you want it?" Yu Jingchen handed the little rabbit lantern in his hand to Nan Zhiyun.
"Um... thank you," Nan Zhiyun said softly as she took the lantern. To be honest, the rabbit was quite realistic, with red eyes and a chubby, cute appearance; Nan Zhiyun liked it.
