Feng Qingyun's fingertips unconsciously caressed the pearl sash adorning her waist. Each pearl was round and full, radiating a soft and restrained luster.
The jade bracelet on her wrist complemented the warm, translucent mutton fat jade, adding to her gentle and elegant demeanor.
In the Boshan incense burner beside me, wisps of smoke rose gently from the agarwood.
A light veil, like that of a fairy, lingered around her, adding a dreamlike and hazy atmosphere to this place.
Feng Qingyun's gaze, passing through the swirling smoke of agarwood incense, quietly focused on the gilded light screen suspended in mid-air.
"Sigh..." Feng Qingyun couldn't help but sigh softly, her voice seemingly filled with endless helplessness and emotion.
She lightly tapped the light screen with her fingertip, and the light and shadow instantly rippled like pebbles thrown into a calm lake.
"My Luobao is clearly a blockhead. Su Jinyun's feelings are written all over her face, but she is completely unaware."
Even if they sensed something, they probably wouldn't dare believe that this affection was genuine.
Feng Qingyun was naturally aware of the deep feelings that Qin Qianluo harbored for Su Jinyun.
Looking at Su Jinyun, she is usually dignified and elegant, and her every move exudes the demeanor and refinement of a lady from a prestigious family.
But whenever she faces Qin Qianluo, the concern that is inadvertently revealed in her eyes and the tenderness in her words silently tell her feelings.
Unfortunately, Qin Qianluo was far more oblivious to her feelings than anyone could have imagined. She was completely unaware of this passionate and sincere affection, like being surrounded by flowers but unable to smell their fragrance.
Feng Qingyun frowned slightly, and the image of Qin Qianluo involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Whenever Su Jinyun is mentioned, a gentle smile unconsciously appears in her eyes.
Her eagerness to find excuses to meet with Su Jinyun during her free time clearly showed her feelings.
Feng Qingyun knew that without someone's skillful guidance, Qin Qianluo, being so oblivious, would likely miss out on this rare and precious opportunity.
Once Su Jinyun gets married, Qin Qianluo will likely regret it deeply, leaving only regret.
"Luo Bao, Su Jinyun likes you." Feng Qingyun traced a crescent-shaped halo on the light screen with her fingertip. The halo resembled a crescent moon twinkling in the night sky, radiating a soft glow.
Her voice, carrying the delicate fragrance of agarwood, pierced through the barriers of space and gently landed in Qin Qianluo's ear, like a soft call.
Upon hearing Feng Qingyun's voice, Qin Qianluo's entire body stiffened abruptly, and even her fingertips instinctively curled up.
Like a solitary figure suddenly frozen in the cold night, not daring to move an inch.
At the same time, she keenly noticed that Su Jinyun, who had been lightly holding her arm, suddenly tightened her grip.
Her fingertips trembled slightly through the ruqun skirt, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind.
This subtle yet clear change was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattering the tranquility within Qin Qianluo's heart.
This caused the already turbulent heart to ripple even more.
Qin Qianluo's chest heaved violently, as if an invisible hand was pounding her heart.
She took several deep breaths, trying to suppress her frantic, heart-pounding emotions, but her heart continued to race uncontrollably.
She subconsciously bit her lower lip, leaving a faint mark on her delicate lips with her pearly teeth, like a dewdrop on a flower petal, revealing a hint of fragility.
Then, she clutched the handkerchief, already soaked with sweat, in her sleeve, as if it were the only thing she could hold onto at that moment.
The candlelight gently illuminated her profile, and the shadows cast by her thick eyelashes partially concealed the barely concealed panic and hesitation in her eyes.
Yet it also seemed to veil this complex emotion with an even more mysterious layer of gauze.
After a long while, she slightly parted her cherry lips, and the voice rang out nervously in her heart, like a candle flame flickering in the wind: "Rainbow Dash, what are you talking about?"
Sister Su was born into a wealthy and powerful family and was subjected to strict etiquette from a young age. Her every word and action was disciplined by those rigid rules.
In this world where etiquette is as rigid as an iron cage, people regard women falling in love as a heinous crime, and the barrage of spittle is enough to drown a person alive.
With such a noble status, Sister Su is destined to marry into a prominent family, creating a legendary love story and enjoying an incredibly bright future.
And I... am nothing special, how could I possibly have the honor of catching her eye?
If this matter were to spread, not only would she be subjected to public criticism and ridicule, but her reputation would also be tarnished and damaged.
Those who usually fawn over the powerful might seize this opportunity to make a big fuss and stir up a huge uproar. Rainbow Dash, are you misunderstanding something?
The carved bronze water clock ticked steadily, its crisp sound like the whisper of time.
Intertwined with the tinkling sound of the iron horses on the eaves swaying in the wind, they compose a unique melody in the tranquil space.
Feng Qingyun lay listlessly on the carved wooden couch, the gold-embroidered quilt on it undulating slightly with her languid movements, like flowing colorful clouds.
She casually twirled the lustrous jade thumb ring between her fingers.
The emerald green on the ring resembled a deep lake, shimmering with a captivating and dynamic halo, as if concealing endless mystery.
At that moment, she sighed heavily, a sigh that seemed to carry a great deal of helplessness.
Her willow-leaf eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the tips of her eyebrows trembled slightly, as if expressing her inner frustration. The corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile that was both amused and exasperated.
