Seeing Long Yinyu looking like a silly goose, Wu Yunzhi rested her chin on her hand and asked with a smile, "Are you perhaps a little fool?"
"Huh?" Little fool? Long Yinyu bit her lip. "I'm not a little fool!"
"If you're not a little idiot, why are your eyes staring straight ahead?"
Wu Yunzhi suppressed a smile and asked, "My name is Zhiyun. What's your name, young master?"
Zhiyun? Long Yinyu racked his brains, but couldn't recall having the surname "Zhi".
That's kana!
"My name is Long Yu!" he shouted.
You use a pseudonym, so I'll use a pseudonym too!
Anyway, he was just hitching a ride with her, and once they got into the city, they parted ways and never saw each other again!
He saw her smiling eyes again.
Seeing that the car was spacious and luxurious, Long Yinyu knew that Wu Yunzhi was no ordinary woman, so he asked, "Sister Zhiyun, are you perhaps a young lady from some noble family?"
"How do you know?" Wu Yunzhi looked at Longyanyu shaking its head and thought of the little bird she kept under the eaves, which also had this kind of curiosity and was quite cute.
“This one, this one, and this one… they look incredibly valuable.” Wu Yunzhi casually picked up a teacup, its surface plain, yet it gleamed in the light.
He wondered how it was made and thought he could go back and ask the craftsmen in his family if he could make one for himself.
“You have a good eye. This cup is indeed valuable. However… I am not the owner of this house. I am just an advisor to the master, going out to do things for the master.”
"I see..." Long Yinyu couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. "If a staff member has such an air about them, the head of the household must be just as impressive." He sighed.
"You sure know how to talk." As the emperor, Wu Yunzhi was usually unmoved by the flattery from her servants. But for some reason, the words that Long Yinyu spoke today unexpectedly touched her heart.
"Did you sneak out of your home? Did you get lost?" In just a few minutes, Wu Yunzhi had figured out most of Long Yinyu.
"How...how did you know?" Long Yinyu's eyes widened in shock. Surely Sister Zhiyun wouldn't have mind-reading abilities?
"Easy to guess." The Empress maintained her languid demeanor. "Your clothes are brocade, and your shoes are new, but the soles are worn thin, indicating you've walked a long way. You have a dagger at your waist, showing you know the journey was dangerous, but you're overly naive. Your very first words are childish, which shows how well your family has protected you, not to mention..."
So he had so many flaws! Long Yinyu was utterly ashamed. "Besides what?" He wanted to hear what else she had to say!
“What’s more…” Wu Yunzhi suddenly reached out to him, “the blue beaded headband on your forehead is really too conspicuous.”
Long Yinyu's forehead was suddenly touched by a slightly cold and soft fingertip, and he shivered as if he had been electrocuted.
Then the finger gradually moved downwards, as if chiseling cracks in his uncultivated wilderness, going deeper and deeper, touching an unknown territory that even he himself had never discovered.
Long Yinyu felt as if his soul had been sucked away by that fingertip.
He turned into a silly goose again.
"So cute." Wu Yunzhi gently rubbed the little blue spot with her fingertips, but after a moment, she withdrew her hand.
Cute? Long Yinyu blinked. Was he talking about him?
He covered his face, his palms touching the heat radiating from his hands, a sight he could hardly believe. He peeked at her through his fingers, his lips pursing repeatedly, "If Sister Zhiyun likes it, I... I can give you the headband."
"No, thank you." Wu Yunzhi smiled. "You should keep it. You can give it to me next time we meet, okay?"
Long Yinyu was already in a daze when she heard her say that they would meet again next time, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
Is he already looking forward to seeing each other again before they've even parted ways?
Will they... really be able to see each other again?
