Feng Guang asked, "Does the young master know what they look like?"
"It's a pity." Qi Mu shook his head, feeling very sorry. "No matter how many times I try, I can't picture them in my mind anymore."
"Then, Your Highness, have you ever tried to sense other things, such as... people?"
Qi Mu chuckled, "I'd like to, but people are just too troublesome."
"Your Highness, did you bring me here because I am also recognized as the most beautiful one?" Feng Guang walked up to him, her voice melodious and pleasant.
He lowered his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Which answer would you like to hear, Miss?"
"I don't know either, but I'd like to know if the Crown Prince would like to 'see' my appearance?"
"Of course I want to."
Her slightly cool hand grasped his, the subtle temperature difference sending a shiver down her spine. She pressed his hand against her cheek, "Why don't you try, Your Highness, and see if you can 'see' what my face looks like?"
He readily accepted, "Okay."
His movements were gentle and slow, as if he were touching a fragile piece of glass. His slender fingers first traced her eyebrows and eyes, then her delicate nose. When he traced her lips, his fingertips lingered there for a few more seconds, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. After a moment, he lowered his hand.
However, Feng Guang grabbed his hand mid-air, "Young Master?"
“I’m sorry, Miss Xia, I still can’t picture what you look like in my mind.” He smiled slightly. “Since I can remember, all I’ve seen is darkness, so I have no concept of either animals or people.”
Even when it comes to colors people usually talk about, like red, he wouldn't understand. Everyone says that the heir of the Xiao Prince's Mansion likes purple, but that's only because purple represents the elegance and nobility of the royal family. As for asking him what purple is, well, sorry, he can't tell you.
Feng Guang's voice showed no disappointment. "I am not the Crown Prince, and I dare not say that I can understand the Crown Prince. But spring flowers and autumn moon, life is like a dream, and everything in the world is ever-changing. Even if many people can see it, they can't really see it clearly."
"Miss Xia."
"Um?"
Do you know what your most infuriating trait is?
His sudden question left her momentarily bewildered. "What...is the young master talking about?"
"I want to make you the first woman I collect, but I'm also worried that if you really become part of my collection, you won't interest me anymore." From his regretful voice, you could tell that this conflicting feeling was causing him a lot of distress.
Feng Guang: "..."
She never expected that he actually intended to turn her into a specimen as well!
"However, I have now thought of a good idea."
She shuddered involuntarily. "What method?"
He said gently, "I'll break your legs and lock you up here."
"No." She refused boldly, though she was terrified, she didn't shake off his hand. "You can't do this, because I'm afraid of the pain."
Qi Mu had assumed she was terrified, but to his surprise, she could give him a proper reason. He chuckled softly, "I have several kinds of painkillers here."
"That won't work either."
"Why not?"
"If I break my leg, I won't be able to take care of you."
Her words came so unexpectedly that his elegant and composed expression suddenly froze, and he forgot how to react. But he quickly found his voice, "What did Miss Xia say?"
“I said…” Her face flushed, and she repeated it softly, “If my leg is broken, I won’t be able to take care of you.”
Qi Mu remained silent for a long time. A strange emotion was swirling in his chest, about to burst forth uncontrollably, but it was stopped by an even more inexplicable uncertainty. "How are you going to take care of me?"
"I want to take care of you for the rest of my life."
The almost inaudible sound, in the quiet environment, is like the gentle ringing of silver bells, captivating the heart.
