At worst, he'll just kill whoever finds out about him.
No one but Zheng Quchi could know this secret; there would never be anyone else.
Zheng Quchi held the slender Liu Fengmian in his arms, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.
What exactly is Phoenix Tears?
She wasn't sure, but through his repeated strange behavior, she seemed to be able to guess that Liu Fengmian was very concerned about the pair of phoenix tears, and that they even contained some unusual meaning.
——
Zheng Quchi and Liu Fengmian had both gone to sleep, but Fu Rong was still pestering Li Shi to drink and chat, intending to stay up all night.
In rock-paper-scissors, Fu Rong was no match for Master Li. Whether it was luck or his keen insight was unknown, Fu Rong repeatedly lost but never gave up. Of course, Master Li was not 100% successful either.
In the end, the two of them drank quite a bit of alcohol together.
A brazier burned nearby, the chill of day and night was palpable, and no snow fell. The melting flames knocked down the door, and Master Li recalled the Zheng Quchi he had just seen.
The black makeup on her face was no longer noticeable at night; instead, the light reflected off it, highlighting her natural features and making her appear even more beautiful and lively.
When she returned, she was wearing a pale yellow dress. Her graceful smile and the way she and her brother smiled were like winter plum blossoms in full bloom in winter. The petals were pale yellow, like beeswax, golden and translucent, with slightly red sepals, just like her and the candlelight reflecting each other, which made her eyes even clearer and brighter.

"Young master, judging from your appearance, you have the look of someone destined for great wealth and honor."
Master Li turned his gaze, his usually aloof and frosty face now flushed with the rosy hue of wine: "You, a doctor, can also read faces?"
"Life is tough these days. You can't live on just one thing. I used to be a fortune teller for a few years. How about I take a look at your palm?"
Master Li never believed in such things: "No need."
"Hey, don't be so polite. I'll just not charge you for the divination." Fu Rong reached across the table, grabbed his hand, and Li Shi tried to pull his hand back, but Fu Rong held it tightly with a serious expression.
"etc!"
Li Shi paused.
"I can see something in your palm. Young master, could it be that... your love star has been moving?"
Li Shi suddenly looked up at him.
Upon seeing this expression, Fu Rong was secretly delighted, but at the same time, he also had some doubts.
Tsk tsk tsk, can someone so otherworldly also fall into the swamp of deep affection? I wonder how he'll express his love to the other person; he seems like a naive bird who's not good at expressing his feelings.
