"Why can't I like you?" Mo Yufeng looked at her doubtfully and asked.
"Because... I don't like you!" Ma Qingyi didn't dare to look into his deep eyes, for fear that he would see through her thoughts.
"..." Mo Yufeng looked at her and smiled bitterly.
The two people faced each other in silence with their heads down, and the air was most afraid of falling into this kind of icy cold silence.
Mo Yufeng stood up and walked to the window. "It's getting dark. You should take your medicine. Go out and have some fun tomorrow..." Then he turned and left.
Ma Qingyi watched his back as he walked away until he left her house. She pulled off the quilt and rubbed her head frantically.
How should I face him in the future?
Ma Qingyi drank the medicine and lay down without eating. Today's events caught her off guard...
Midnight
Ma Qingyi pushed open the door and walked out, looking up at the round moon hanging in the sky with clouds around it.
Ma Qingyi sat on the stone steps, leaning against the pillar in front of the door, sighing over and over again, lowering her head and rubbing her hands in annoyance, looking up from time to time.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, and Ma Qingyi tentatively called out, "Second Meow!"
A dark kitten came out and approached Ma Qingyi.
Ma Qingyi reached out her hand, lifted him up, and held him in her arms. Looking at him, she said, "I really envy you for being a cat... You don't have to think about so many things every day... Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired..."
Ma Qingyi suddenly lifted him up and looked at his face, frowning and muttering softly, "Looking at it this way, you really do look a bit like Mo Yufeng?"
"You know what! He told me today that he likes me... I looked into his eyes, but I couldn't tell what he really thought... In fact, he really saved me many times... But Bai Lishen also said... Feelings don't have to be reciprocated! If what he said is true, I'm afraid saying it out loud will hurt him; if it's not true, I will beat him up and let him keep me awake! What should I do! Er Miao, say something!" Ma Qingyi shook him, and finally put him on the ground helplessly, supporting her chin with her hand and looking blankly at a certain place.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Ma Qingyi looked at the kitten rubbing against her legs and patted its head. "Okay, I'm a little sleepy now. You should go find a place to sleep too!"
Ma Qingyi returned to her room, tossed and turned on the bed, and finally fell asleep.
------
early morning
"Are you awake?" Mo Yecheng looked at Bai Hanxiao lying on the bed and asked gently.
Bai Hanxiao sat up, feeling a little dizzy, and thought about what happened yesterday afternoon.
When she came back, her eyes were filled with tears. Mo Yecheng asked anxiously what happened at Prince Qing's mansion. Later... she drank a lot and fell asleep after drinking too much. No wonder she has a headache now!
Bai Hanxiao rubbed her dizzy head, and suddenly a warm finger, powerful yet weak, was placed on her head and rubbed it gently. Bai Hanxiao did not push him away, but sat quietly.
"Today is the Lantern Festival. Do you want to... go and see it?" Mo Yecheng asked softly.
"...Okay!" Bai Hanxiao agreed. "You're not attending court today? Don't you have any memorials to review?"
"I'm so busy every day... now... I want to relax!" Mo Yecheng of course had something else to say. Nothing was more important than Bai Hanxiao. If possible, he could give up the entire dynasty for her, but it was because of this throne that he locked her by his side!
He didn't know whether to hate or be grateful for this identity and status.
"I heard that the princess of your Baihan Kingdom has a pendant as a token of love!" Mo Yecheng asked carelessly.
Bai Hanxiao was stunned for a moment, "...Why are you asking this?"
Mo Yecheng smiled and said, "...I've never seen you wear it before, so I'm just asking!"
"...I gave it away!" Bai Hanxiao said lightly.
She clearly felt Mo Yecheng's hand stiffen for a moment.
“…” Mo Yecheng looked at her beautiful face, sadness in his eyes.
"Your appearance, your status, and your identity are all among the best in the world... Do you want to know who I gave the pendant to?" Bai Hanxiao asked.
"No, you don't have to say it!" Mo Yecheng put down his hand and stood up. "I have to go take care of some things! If you are sleepy, continue to sleep. If you don't want to sleep, get up and eat!"
Bai Hanxiao got up from the bed, opened the wardrobe, saw the blue clothes, smiled bitterly and said "Qiu Lang!"
"Yes, Her Majesty, is there anything you want to ask me?" Qiu Lang asked.
"Throw away this clothes!" Bai Hanxiao took out the blue clothes and threw them on the table and said to Qiu Lang.
Qiu Lang picked up the clothes and was surprised. "My queen, how could you have such clothes! ... Could it be that the concubines bribed the palace maids and secretly put them in to frame you?"
"No, it's mine!" Bai Hanxiao said lightly.
"Why are you wearing this..."
"Alright, I'll throw it away if you tell me to!"
"……yes!"
Prince's Mansion
Ma Qingyi dressed up and prepared to go out. She adjusted her belt and looked up to see Mo Yufeng in white walking towards her.
Ma Qingyi looked around in panic, and finally hid in the closet, holding her breath, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally there was no sound. Suddenly she heard, "It seems that the princess left first. This prince has some things to deal with!" Then the footsteps became farther and farther away, and finally there was no sound.
Ma Qingyi opened a small crack and saw a white scene in front of her. She looked up and saw Mo Yufeng looking down at her with a gloomy smile on his face. "What are you doing hiding in the closet, Princess?"
Ma Qingyi pushed open the door and walked past him, smiling awkwardly, "I saw... a mouse in the closet, and I wanted to catch it. If the door was open, it would have run away!" After saying that, she laughed a few times.
Mo Yufeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, but did not expose her lame excuse.
"Why are you here, Your Highness?" Ma Qingyi asked him from a distance away.
"Don't you want to go out and play?" Mo Yufeng asked with a smile, curling his lips.
"...You want to go with me?" Ma Qingyi asked with some doubt.
Mo Yufeng glanced at her, as if to say "what else!"
"But……"
"That's right!" Mo Yufeng interrupted her, and Ma Qingyi's words were choked in her throat.
"Yesterday I said... I like you, right... Forget it! It was just a joke yesterday!..." Mo Yufeng said indifferently.
"...What did you say?" Ma Qingyi swallowed and looked at him in disbelief.
Mo Yufeng thought she was going to be angry and looked at her nervously.
"You scared me to death! You said you liked me... I was a little scared and I didn't know how to get along with you!" Ma Qingyi said as if relieved.
Mo Yufeng had a gloomy face and remained silent.
He said this because he didn't want to see her embarrassed and avoiding him everywhere.
I didn't expect that she really didn't care after knowing it...
