Hang Suisui took two steps forward and looked at Yin Huaizhu, who was leaning against a tree trunk with one hand, head slightly lowered, and coughing softly.
"How are you? Is anything bothering you?"
With such poor health, how dare she venture into the woods alone late at night?
Aren't you afraid something bad might happen to you?
Hearing Hang Suisui's concerned inquiry beside her, Yin Huaizhu slowly took out a blue silk scarf from her coat.
He covered his lips with a silk scarf, then slightly raised his head to glance in Hang Suisui's direction before lowering his eyes again.
"It's nothing serious, it's an old ailment. I'll be fine after a rest. If you're in a hurry, you can go ahead. You can get out by following this road."
He had barely finished speaking when he covered his lips and coughed lightly twice.
Seeing this, Hang Suisui was also worried about leaving him alone here, especially since it was such a short distance.
Although they didn't know each other, they had at least met and walked together for a while. How could they just abandon each other halfway and leave?
If something bad happens to this person after she leaves, she won't be able to explain herself.
Thinking of this, Hang Suisui had no choice but to suppress her anxiety about the task.
"It's alright, it's alright. You're not feeling well, how could I leave you here alone? Don't rush, you should rest first."
Yin Huaizhu did not refuse, but simply thanked him softly and coughed lightly a few times.
It seemed like he was really unwell.
Seeing this, Hang Suisui dared not urge him any further, and only stood aside to ask a few questions from time to time.
Yin Huaizhu leaned against the tree trunk with one hand and covered her lips with a silk handkerchief in the other, her head slightly lowered and her expression unreadable.
The shadows of the trees cast dappled, swaying shadows under the moonlight. Hang Suisui looked at the seemingly weak person in front of her.
Her slightly lowered head prevented her from seeing Yin Huaizhu's expression, and the blue silk handkerchief covering her lips almost completely obscured the lower half of her face below her nose.
All that could be seen was the smooth, delicate luster of the blue silk handkerchief held by Yin Huaizhu under the light, and his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles.
Unable to discern anything, Hang Suisui kept in mind how she and 001 were learning about the current development of the male and female protagonists.
001: [The male and female leads have finished their meal and exchanged gifts, and are now chatting on the panoramic balcony.]
Hang Suisui was puzzled: [Chatting and talking? What to talk about? What to say?]
001: [From romance and nature to poetry and songs, from philosophy of life to the stars and the moon.]
!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!
Why isn't her progress bar increasing?!
001: [Because I was just making it up.]
Otherwise, do you think you can just rely on eating rice to reach the maximum progress?
? ? ? ?
001: [They've almost run out of things to say. The female lead insists on her point of view: she won't steal her sister's man. The male lead also insists on his point of view: he'll definitely break off the engagement with you.]
After chatting for a while, the female protagonist spoke.
"Love is too painful, why not become sworn brothers?"
Huo Zhou looked at Qin Yu, whose expression was resolute, and felt a headache for a moment.
become sworn brothers?!
He wanted to be her husband, but she wanted to be his brother.
"I disagree!"
Hang Suisui bristled upon hearing this: 【I disagree!】
How could Qin Yu, whose mouth is 36°C, utter such cold words!
He wants to connect with you on a deeper level, but you're playing mind games with him?
Even if the Heavenly King himself were to come, they could only be husband and wife!
Hang Suisui was getting anxious!
Yin Huaizhu looked at the woman in front of him who was lost in thought. He called out to her, but she did not respond.
What are you thinking about that you can be so engrossed in?
How can you be so distracted even when you're in the woods with a man you don't know?
I don't know if she's oblivious to the dangers of society or just incredibly dense.
Everyone in the capital knows how much Hang's parents dote on and love this daughter.
Indeed, they had never been exposed to the dangers of society and had no sense of wariness towards people.
If she encountered someone with ill intentions, they might devour her completely, leaving not even bones behind.
I recall the illusion I had that day.
Yin Huaizhu slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at the woman in front of him again.
The woman had fair skin and a beautiful face; she was considered one of the most beautiful women in the capital.
The glimpse I made at the banquet that day was different from the fiery and flamboyant atmosphere of that banquet; today, she exuded a refreshing feeling.
Miss Hang?
What Yin Huaizhu didn't know was that he was indeed right in a certain sense.
Having had little contact with people since childhood, Hang Suisui only used her guardedness to protect herself from ghosts.
In a sense, Hang Suisui is a bit naive, because she puts all her energy into Taoist magic.
She's the type who has some sense about people, but not much.
Yin Huaizhu extended her long, slender fingers with distinct joints and gently touched the shoulder of the person in front of her with the back of her hand.
"Snap out of it."
The touch brought Hang Suisui back to her senses. Looking at Yin Huaizhu, who was no longer coughing, she smiled.
"Haha, are you feeling better?"
In her haste, she got so engrossed in chatting with 001 that she completely forgot about the person right in front of her!
Yin Huaizhu also smiled gently, but he didn't ask Hang Suisui why she was distracted.
He repeated his question: "Why are you alone in this woods so late?"
Yin Huaizhu changed the subject and added, "Is something bothering you that made you come out for a stroll?"
Yin Huaizhu subtly probed for information.
Worries?
Thinking back on the progress I just discussed with 001, it's indeed quite annoying.
Hang Suisui nodded: "Yes, it is indeed quite troublesome."
Could it be that he asked this because he had something on his mind that led him to wander into the woods?
