"Why should I thank you?"
Bai Xiaoqian's mother gave a rather confused smile.
Chu Shangli realized that Bai Xiaoqian's mother really loved to laugh - but it wasn't the kind of fake smile that was stuck on her face -
In the past, Ouyang Huanshi always had that kind of smile on his face.
At the same time, my previous life self also learned to smile like that.
Therefore, I am very clear about the angle of muscle pulling and the arc of squinting eyes.
On Bai Xiaoqian's mother's face, there was the most innocent smile of a child - pure, without a trace of dust.
"I don't know either." When facing such a sincere person, Chu Shangli couldn't help but respond without a trace of lies -
"It's just that, after hearing what you said, I couldn't help but want to respond like this."
"Are you being polite?"
"No, I can't say I'm someone who doesn't like to be polite—but, facing your words, it's like I can't tell a single lie. Perhaps my emotions reacted before my nervous system."
Tan Xing, who was standing aside holding a backpack, kept nodding and making "hmm" sounds.
"Indeed, I'm not being frank—it's all the same—"
"This is probably the 'magic of dreams'."
The sound was melodious, like spring water flowing through a bamboo tube, sinking with a "dang" sound, and falling into another bamboo.
A clear sound rings in my ears——
If Bai Xiaoqian's mother in front of him was like a visual illusion, then this voice was like an auditory hallucination.
Following the sound, I saw a tall and handsome man standing there.
The man has smooth blue hair that falls close to his ears.
It's like a character that came out of a fairy tale book——
He was undoubtedly an adult, but he had the dreaminess and romance of a child, with stars flashing in his eyes - no, that kind of light might be more appropriately described as the Milky Way.
If Bai Xiaoqian's mother's smile is pure, then his smile is innocent.
He also had a rather innocent demeanor, and was dressed in a Peter Pan-like outfit, something rarely mentioned in the empire of this era.
Holding a pure white rose in her hand, she spun around and presented the pure white rose to Bai Xiaoqian's mother.
"For you, my Wendy."
"It's not Wendy, is it?" Bai Xiaoqian's mother took the rose and chuckled, "After all, Peter Pan and Wendy didn't end up together. And compared to the cycle of generations, Ding Dong is really better."
"But—" The man hesitated, then shrugged. "You're not the type like Dingdang, who's so jealous that she'd even order her archers to shoot arrows at her love rival."
"The main thing is—I don't have that opportunity," Bai Xiaoqian's mother said softly. "If that situation really happened, I might be even more cruel than Dingdang. Instead of using a bow and arrow—oh, how about pushing your rival and you into a cauldron of boiling water?"
“…”
"Ah, no, no, that won't do." Bai Xiaoqian's mother denied it herself after speaking. "After all, if you didn't have such thoughts, I wouldn't have to worry about a love rival. So, as someone who has also been deceived by you, it would be too unfair for me to be killed along with you. So, as expected - it would be better to just make you into a specimen and place it in the flower garden? If it were you - even if you disappeared, few people would find it strange. On the contrary, many people would be happy about it."
Bai Xiaoqian's mother still had a pure expression when she said this.
However, when I stood aside and heard these words, I felt a chill.
