Xie Rang's gaze lingered on Yun Qing for a moment, then he reached out and accepted the gift she offered, saying softly, "Thank you, senior."
Hearing Xie Rang call her that, Yun Qing had a strange feeling, but since she had found him, she was in no hurry.
Seeing that the two of them got along well, Teacher Yan was happy: "Xie Rang is usually too aloof and doesn't have many friends, so I was thinking of helping him get to know more upperclassmen and women, so that he can have a wider social circle in the future..."
Teacher Yan is a good teacher and a good elder. Yun Qing has heard her worry about the children in her family many times, but hearing her evaluation of Xie Rang now still makes her feel a little amused.
During the Da Xi era, it was not important whether His Majesty the Emperor made friends or not. After all, in that era, imperial power was supreme, and there was no one who could truly befriend His Majesty the Emperor.
However, it is clear that in modern times, this behavior is unacceptable in the eyes of elders.
Everyone is compelled to expand their social circle.
Yun Qing listened to her teacher's words, nodding with a smile while glancing at Xie Rang out of the corner of her eye.
The boy didn't even frown, seemingly not taking Teacher Yan's words to heart; his gaze was fixed on Yun Qing...
etc?
Yun Qing glanced at him again, confirming that he was looking at her, and her doubts grew. Did he really have no memory?
"Alright, stop standing there and start eating."
When Teacher Yan saw that the two young people were sitting in their seats without eating, she thought she had talked too much and quickly greeted them.
"good."
Yun Qing nodded, and just as she picked up her chopsticks, Xie Rang used serving chopsticks to put a piece of food on her plate.
The boy's expression was serious and well-behaved, and his tone showed no sign of anything amiss: "This is the restaurant's signature dish. It tastes good. Senior, please try it."
Yun Qing raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly: "Mm."
Teacher Yan glanced at Xie Rang in surprise, but said nothing.
The meal was exceptionally harmonious, even excessively so. Xie Rang completely shattered the impression Yan had made, chatting enthusiastically with Yun Qing. In the end, he even smiled and took the initiative to suggest, "Senior, let's add each other on WeChat."
Yun Qing readily agreed.
After finishing their meal, Yun Qing had basically figured it out: Xie Rang indeed had no memory, but that wasn't a big problem. It was good that they had found him; they could deal with other things later.
"Senior, can I ask you for help if I need anything in the future?"
Teacher Yan walked in front, and Xie Rang somehow fell behind, walking side by side with Yun Qing. Because the weather was still quite hot, he was only wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt, looking clean and refreshing, quite different from when he was in Da Xi.
After all, he was the emperor back then, and no matter how simply he dressed, he was still different from ordinary people.
However, in modern society, everyone is equal, so there aren't so many rules.
Having been together for so long, Yun Qing now felt a completely different emotion when facing the younger version of His Majesty. She could tell that he was trying to strike up a conversation with her, so she raised her eyes and smiled lightly: "Of course, you can ask me anytime if you have any questions."
Yun Qing wasn't used to getting so close to men, but Xie Rang was an exception. She wanted to see what he would do.
"Senior is so kind." The boy's voice rose slightly, as if carrying a tiny hook, as he leaned closer to whisper to Yun Qing.
Teacher Yan was on the phone when she noticed what was happening behind her and called out, "What are you talking about? You seem so happy. Xiao Rang, hurry up and catch up. Let's take your senior, Yun Qing, back first."
She was worried about letting Yunqing go home alone so late at night, so she decided to take her home first.
Hearing the teacher address Xie Rang like that, Yun Qing couldn't help but feel like laughing.
Xie Rang nodded calmly: "Okay."
Presumably because the teacher was there, Xie Rang seemed unusually well-behaved. When Yun Qing was dropped off at her doorstep, she still felt a bit emotional thinking about what had happened that day.
Although she would often tell Xie Rang about the future when she was in the Great Xi Dynasty, those things were ultimately just words and descriptions, not as real as seeing them with one's own eyes. She was originally disappointed, but unexpectedly, one day Xie Rang had the opportunity to see them.
The world she described was no longer just a figment of his imagination, but was truly present before Xie Rang's eyes.
Goodnight, senior. Get some rest.
Yun Qing was only pulled back to her senses when the voice rang in her ears. She looked at the young man in front of her and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your concern."
She agreed so quickly that she didn't notice the boy's dark gaze as she was about to close the door.
...
In the following days, Yunqing was constantly being asked to go out by Xie Rang.
To be honest, the boy's methods weren't particularly clever; it was just that Yun Qing found his childish behavior amusing and was willing to indulge him.
When she first transmigrated, the young emperor was very innocent and fierce. Later, as they got to know each other better, he would subconsciously care for her, but he was still awkward and wouldn't allow others to say it out loud.
Perhaps because he had been holding back for too long, when he finally came to his senses as an adult, he turned into a cunning and ruthless man. Taking advantage of their familiarity, he silently ensnared her in a large net, and by the time she realized what was happening, there was no turning back.
Now... it feels like reliving the past.
His intentions couldn't be hidden from Yun Qing; she just wanted to see how long Xie Rang could hold back.
However, it didn't last long.
While buying a drink, Xie Rang turned around and saw Yun Qing being approached by someone. He pursed his lips and finally couldn't help but quietly inquire, "Senior, do you have any thoughts about dating?"
What appears to be a casual probing is actually full of hidden agendas.
Yun Qing took the milk tea, and glancing up, she caught a glimpse of the longing hidden in the boy's eyes. She chuckled inwardly, but her expression remained unchanged: "Not for now. But who knows about the future."
The weather was bright, and the sunlight shone on Yun Qing, making even her hair seem to glow. Just looking at her, Xie Rang felt a strong urge to get closer, but his Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally restrained himself. He said in a low, husky voice, "Senior is so outstanding, she deserves someone equally outstanding."
"Hmm, I didn't expect you to say that." Yun Qing chuckled, then suddenly rested her chin on her hand and tossed the question back, "So, in your opinion, what kind of person is considered excellent?"
If this question were posed to the Emperor of the Great Xi Dynasty, he would likely have declared forcefully and domineeringly, "Of course, it's him."
However, the young man in front of him was a bit too inexperienced, so he only dared to hint indirectly: "...At least in terms of academics and career, you can't fall behind your senior, and you also have to be caring and wholeheartedly love your senior."
Xie Rang was very serious, with a solemn expression on his face.
Yun Qing lowered her eyes, seemingly sighing in distress, "With these requirements, it will be difficult to find someone."
"How could this be? I..."
Almost instinctively, Xie Rang wanted to argue, but when he met Yun Qing's smiling gaze, he realized that he seemed to have been tricked.
