After saying that, An Yuan'er didn't linger for a moment and ran towards the door.
The light that had been shining in Yi Chenqi's eyes gradually dimmed.
Why did Xiao Yuan'er break his promise? He clearly said that the bookmark was a reward for the first place winner, but he only got candy.
A few oblivious lackeys fawned, "Your Highness won first place today. Let's go out for a nice meal to celebrate."
While his followers were discussing where to eat later, Yi Chenqi exploded, yelling, "Get out of my way! Don't get in my way!"
When the Fifth Prince gets angry, no one dares to provoke him.
They didn't know why the Fifth Prince was so angry even though he had won first place. But they dared not ask why, and could only keep backing away, saying, "Your Highness, please calm down, we'll leave."
Everyone scurried away in fear, but Yi Chenqi still couldn't understand why. He followed in the direction An Yuan'er had left.

When An Yuan'er arrived at Chenyang Palace, it was deserted outside. She looked around for a long time, but there wasn't even a single person to announce her arrival.
As An Yuan'er hesitated, Eunuch Li happened to come out from inside. Seeing An Yuan'er, he was overjoyed: "Fourth Miss An, are you here to see His Highness?"
An Yuan'er was a little embarrassed, but still nodded sheepishly.
"I heard that the Sixth Prince is unwell and has taken leave. As his classmate, I should care for him, so I have come to offer my condolences."
Eunuch Li did not expose An Yuan'er's lame excuse. He led the way for An Yuan'er, saying, "Miss An, you are very kind. His Highness is truly blessed to have a classmate like you."
Halfway down the road, Eunuch Li suddenly said that something urgent had come up, and told An Yuan'er to just follow the road to the end.
An Yuan'er's heart was pounding as she visited Yi Chenli's place for the first time. It was already the season for peach blossoms to bloom outside, but here in Yi Chenli's place, there were only a few pine and cypress trees, and the rest was bare and desolate.
Living in a place like this, surrounded by gloom and darkness, how can one possibly feel good!
An Yuan'er sighed deeply, her heart aching even more.
She murmured to herself, "If he had received more love when he was young, Yi Chenli would not have become such a bloodthirsty tyrant, cold-hearted, devoid of emotion, and even soulless."
She must treat him better, even better.
An Yuan'er saw from afar that Yi Chenli was practicing calligraphy in the pavilion.
Strange, he looks very healthy, not sick, so why didn't he go to school?
An Yuan'er walked over quietly, but Yi Chenli, who was usually very perceptive, was unusually lost in thought today and didn't notice her.
An Yuan'er slipped behind him and covered his eyes with her hands: "Guess who I am?"
At first, when someone touched his eyes, Yi Chenli stiffened all over, but then he smelled a familiar scent on his nose—the sweet aroma of candy—and his body relaxed.
He calmly said, "An Yuan'er, I stopped playing such childish games when I was three years old."
An Yuan'er felt that playing games with Yi Chenli was a mistake in itself.
His temperament and his personality were equally boring. Despite his young age, he was as rigid as an old man.
How could any girl like such a boring man in the future? No wonder he was always alone in his past life.
With her hands on her hips, she said domineeringly, "I'm really sorry, but I'm six years old and I still enjoy playing games like this."
Yi Chenli chuckled as he looked at An Yuan'er's angry expression.
What to do? Just seeing her completely dispelled all the bad mood he had felt all day.
