...While doing this series of actions, the team behind the little palace maid suddenly bumped into Su Luoyin's back.
"Ugh." Su Luoyin felt pain in his back. Although it was not serious, he couldn't help but tilt his body.
"Are you okay?"
Just as everyone was panicking, a warm voice sounded, and a strong hand reached out to pull Su Luoyin's fallen body.
"Huh." Su Luoyin felt relieved at first as someone pulled her body upright. Fortunately, she didn't hit anyone. But after a moment of hesitation, she suddenly realized... Could this sound be...
Like a slow-motion movie, Su Luoyin didn't dare to look back. She turned around slowly and saw an unusually gentle face, smiling at her as always.
Seeing that Su Luoyin was fine, Xi Chen slowly withdrew his hand from Su Luoyin and said to the palace servants, "Miss, you are fine. You can go now."
Time seemed to stop, and Su Luoyin didn't know what was going on in her mind for a moment. She looked at Xi Chen in front of her, who was still smiling at her as always, and doing things as meticulously as before. She was wearing a plain light yellow dress, and her waist-length hair was neatly tied behind her with a translucent headband, outlining her tall and straight figure, handsome facial features with a soft color, and her fair skin like jade flowing with a gentle halo like moonlight.
He is still the same.
Su Luoyin stood there in a daze, and her originally cold face suddenly showed a dull look that was completely different from her usual look.
Xi Chen watched the group of palace servants leave, then turned back to look at Su Luoyin. Seeing her dazed expression, Xi Chen couldn't help but chuckle, "Long time no see. You seem surprised."
"Yeah." Su Luoyin blinked a few times hurriedly to cover up his previous loss of composure, and replied with forced composure, "It's been a long time..."
It was so long that she couldn't remember how many days and nights, hours, months and years had passed. She felt scared even thinking about it.
"How are you doing?" After a brief greeting, Xi Chen took the initiative to ask Su Luoyin, as if it was an unintentional negotiation.
"……kindness."
"I'm fine." Su Luoyin answered with a slight hesitation, but there was still certainty in his tone.
"That's good." A hint of relief appeared on Xi Chen's face. He stopped asking questions and lowered his head slightly in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Feeling the awkwardness creeping into the air, Su Luoyin remained tight-lipped. She hadn't seen this person in ages. She hadn't imagined they would meet again under these circumstances. Even their last meeting had been imperfect, yet now they felt like old friends. Actually, thinking back, she realized they had gotten along quite well. For the first time, she felt a special sense of security in his presence.
Although he had deceived her and used her, she later realized that Xi Chen had never harmed her, never. Instead, he had saved her and helped her time and time again. If it weren't for Xi Chen, she might have died long ago. So, what was there for her to be upset about? It was just that she was too young at the time, and it was her first time experiencing current events, so it was inevitable that she would react a little too strongly.
Thinking about it now, it’s all just a passing cloud.
At least now, she understood that she truly loved Xichen as a person and as a friend. The past was now past. Now that the two of them could stand here peacefully, looking at each other and smiling, it was already very beautiful.
