Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow. "I'm a man, though."
Despite her discomfort, Qingxue did as Chu Qingxuan instructed. To the astonishment of those around her, the unconscious person awoke. Qingxue excitedly hugged Bai Wan'er, exclaiming, "Miss, you've finally woken up!"
Bai Wan'er looked at Qingxue in confusion, "Qingxue, am I still alive?"
She remembered falling into the river, and Bai Wan'er had just thought she was going to die.
"Yes, a doctor just saved you, where is he?"
Bai Wan'er followed Qingxue's gaze and glanced at the crowd. Had he left?
Under the maple tree by the river, Yue Li stood next to Chu Qingxuan, her face full of admiration.
"Young Master, when did you learn how to save people?"
Chu Qingxuan smiled and said, "In my past life."
"Young Master, are you kidding me again!"
Chu Qingxuan slightly curled her lips, seeing Yue Li pouting, looking angry but not daring to speak out.
She thought to herself, "It's just a simple skill of saving people; she doesn't know anything else."
"Yue Li, I suddenly have a craving for sugar figurines. Go buy some for me," Chu Qingxuan said to Yue Li with a smile as she turned around.
Yue Li was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
After Yue Li left, Chu Qingxuan's gaze turned cold, and she said in a cold voice, "Since you're here, come out. Don't hide."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind lifted the hair by Chu Qingxuan's ear, followed by the sound of clapping. A unique and magnetic voice appeared in front of her, "Not bad, kid, you actually managed to detect my presence."
That sound...
It looks somewhat familiar.
Turning to look at the man behind her, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes. The man in front of her was dressed in red, with the upper half of his face covered by a silver mask. His rosy lips were outlined in an exquisite curve, and even the mask could not hide his stunning appearance!
"However, I still want to know, how did you see me?"
Chu Qingxuan crossed her arms and gazed at the man in red, then casually pointed to his reflection in the lake, "Isn't that you?"
Beneath the mask, a hint of admiration flashed in the man's eyes, and his handsome lips curved into a slight smile. "You're very smart."
"Then thank you for your praise, Prince An."
A sly glint flashed in Chu Qingxuan's eyes. "Don't think I won't know who you are just because you're wearing a mask."
I'm not hard of hearing.
After a long silence, under the gaze of those clear eyes, Shangguan Li removed his mask.
That perfectly delicate face suddenly appeared before him.
It really was Shangguan Li.
Shangguan Li held a silver mask and leaned against the maple tree behind him. Red maple leaves fell with the wind. He smiled and looked up at the handsome young man in front of him. Such a beautiful scene would make any outsider reluctant to disturb it.
"I'm starting to doubt whether you're really Chu Qingxuan."
Chu Qingxuan met those eyes and answered meticulously, "Everyone in this world is unique, so there is only one Chu Qingxuan in the world."
Shangguan Li rested his chin on his hand and said seriously, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
Chu Qingxuan walked up to Shangguan Li and stood not far away, her eyes meeting his. "If you wanted to see me, you could have just come directly. Why did you choose this method? Or are you trying to test me?"
A sharp glint flashed in Shangguan Li's eyes, but he quickly regained his original dazed look. "Chu Qingxuan, I wonder if anyone has ever told you that sometimes playing dumb is a way to protect yourself."
Chu Qingxuan didn't take it to heart. "I only believe that I can protect myself."
“Any ally can stab you in the back.”
