She nervously took another step closer. He was sitting, he was standing, he had his head down, and she had her head up. The two of them, one big and one small, had their faces very close. She asked earnestly, "Is your illness very serious?"
"It's not serious." He smiled, his eyes crinkling slightly. "Don't worry about Fengguang."
"You're not lying to me?"
"I didn't lie to you." I just selectively conceal things.
Feng Guang's heart was still heavy. She sat down next to him, thought for a while, then took off her small purse, opened it, and all sorts of candies fell out. She pushed all these precious sweets in front of him, saying, "If your medicine tastes bitter, you can eat candy."
"The medicine is very bitter... but can Fengguang bear to give it all up?" he asked with a smile, his gentle eyes seemingly holding the brilliance of the entire galaxy, captivating anyone who looked into them.
Feng Guang was stunned for a moment before generously saying, "I have plenty more at home. If you finish eating, I'll bring you some more."
“Then I gladly accept.” He picked up a sugar cube, his long, strong fingers with distinct knuckles possessing a magical allure that made one want to hold them.
Feng Guang shook her head, banishing the pink bubbles from her mind. It was the first time she realized that she was actually a hand fetishist.
Finally, he took a small bite of the white sugar, and the sweet taste quickly spread. He smiled faintly and uttered two words softly, "Very sweet."
"Of course!" she said proudly. "These candies were all bought by my dad, they're the best candies ever!"
“I haven’t eaten anything this sweet in a long time.” He put the remaining candy back, his smile becoming more ethereal. “It’s a very addictive taste.”
Don't you like it?
“I really like it,” he said. “Because I like it so much, I try to stay away as much as possible, but that’s a very difficult thing for me. If I get too close, I won’t be able to get out of this sweet taste.”
Feng Guang picked up a piece of candy and popped it into his mouth, saying indistinctly, "If you can't get out of this, then don't get out. Sweets are the best thing in the world. If you can't even taste this, then life is too meaningless. Life should be lived freely. If you have to think about this and that, then life will be very stifling."
"So Fengguang also thinks toothache is nothing serious, right?"
Feng Guang froze for a moment, then looked at his smiling face and said defiantly, "I'm still losing my baby teeth, I'm not afraid of rotting them!"
Medical conditions in ancient times were not as good as in modern times. If someone got a cavity, it would be really difficult to deal with. She was only able to do this because she was still young and needed to lose her baby teeth.
"He's still just a child." As he said this softly, the corners of his lips curved slightly, his gentle smile as warm as water, surpassing even the scorching sunlight. The air seemed to cool down because of his tender, watery demeanor.
Only then did she realize that there really were men who could be as gentle as water and as elegant and noble as a noblewoman. She suddenly said, "Some people say that you are a white-haired ghost who takes lives, and that Lady Liu, who was infatuated with you, died because of this."
His smile remained unchanged. "And what does Feng Guang think?"
“You are not a white-haired ghost, and you did not kill Liu Shi, but I think... you do have the charm to make people fascinated.”
"Has the scenery fallen for me?"
"Yes." She nodded honestly.
Shu Feng said, "You'd better be careful, Feng Guang. He might really be the white-haired ghost who takes people's lives..."
"It's alright." She interrupted him, no longer looking at him, and popped another candy into her mouth before casually saying, "To die beneath the peony is to die a romantic death, even as a ghost."
A gentle breeze brought his white robes and her red robes even closer together.
Looking at her satisfied expression as she ate the candy, Shu Feng suddenly realized that there was a reason why she liked candy.
After all, it's such a sweet candy.
It was so sweet that his heart trembled.
