Chapter 322: So embarrassing~~~ [covering face]
Qin Zhaoyue seemed to be half drunk, and sighed casually, his voice a little erratic:
"Young Master Yan, it would be difficult to travel everywhere and survey the world like your father did, right?"
"Difficult..." Yan Zhibai's voice was filled with deep bitterness.
If he had not had the chance to join the second princess's team, he might never have set foot on the land of Dagan in his life.
But along the way, they were treated like prisoners, under strict guard, and rarely had the opportunity to enter towns and experience the local customs and culture.
Most of the time they were bored and rushed on the road, or stayed in the post stations of the Dagan court. Even going out was a luxury.
Now that he has arrived in Fengjing, he must be accompanied by the royal heir himself when traveling.
This canary-like tour was a far cry from his dream of free exploration and confirming his father's notes.
Unable to see the true beauty of the magnificent rivers and mountains of Dagan, as well as the southern Xinjiang area that even his father had not been able to set foot on, Yan Zhibai felt bitter in his mouth and his throat tightened.
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly stopped again and turned to look at the man.
Yan Zhibai was a step slower because of his recent thoughts and was not paying attention.
The two of them almost bumped into each other. Although they managed to stop, the distance between them was very close.
Qin Zhaoyue raised her misty drunken eyes and stared straight into the depths of Yan Zhibai's panicked eyes. She opened her cherry lips slightly and recited softly:
"I searched for him among the crowd a thousand times, but when I turned around...there he was, in the dimly lit place." (Note: paraphrased from a poem by Xin Qiji)
Yan Zhibai's whole body was shaken. This poem... He looked at Qin Zhaoyue in shock, his mouth slightly open, his mind blank.
Without waiting for his reaction, Qin Zhaoyue, as if under the influence of alcohol, moved closer, as if wanting to stick to him, breathing sweetly:
"Yan Zhibai, I'm telling you that I like you..."
Yan Zhibai's mind went completely blank with a "boom", and his face instantly turned red enough to bleed!
"I like you, but I don't have to be with you." The tone suddenly became gentle and ethereal, like a dream talk.
"I just hope... that in the future, when you hit a low point in life and feel discouraged and hopeless, don't give up easily.
At least someone has been deeply attracted by your talent, your ambition, and the light in your eyes."
She paused, her eyes seemed hazy, yet revealed a strange seriousness:
"If possible, I hope to help you realize your dream and accompany you to see the mountains and rivers you want to see..."
Yan Zhibai was completely dumbfounded!
He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, blood was rushing wildly through his limbs, and his cheeks were so hot that they were almost smoking!
My mind was in a mess, with only those few words echoing over and over again like a spell.
He stood there like a wooden man, forgetting even to breathe.
At the same time, the little man in someone's heart was laughing triumphantly with his hands on his hips:
Straight shot! Full marks! Got it!
Hey little brat, this innocent little scholar, look at me, I’m going to seduce you.
Tsk tsk tsk...his face is as red as a monkey's butt, and his ears are even red.
She definitely still looks like a novice, hehehe...
Immersed in the elation of a successful hunt, his eyes wandered, and he inadvertently looked up...
At the dark end of the alley ahead, a figure stood silently in front of the carriage.
The dim light outlined her familiar, cool and slender figure.
It was none other than her maid Sui Mo!
The alley was deep and the halo cast by the dim lights just happened to enclose Sui Mo's cold figure.
She stood there quietly, like a dark cloud under the moon.
Those eyes were like obsidian immersed in a cold pond, fixed on Qin Zhaoyue and... the man who was almost sticking to her.
She opened her mouth slightly, but finally just pursed her lips silently.
Qin Zhaoyue: ...
Broken Ink: ...
The master and servant, separated by the bewildered handsome scholar, seemed to have been cast under a spell of immobilization at the same time, their bodies as stiff as two stone statues.
At this moment, the bustling city life outside the alley became a distant background noise.
No one moved, no one made a sound, only their eyes met in the darkness.
Qin Zhaoyue only felt a surge of hot blood rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The cheeks that were originally stained red by the smell of alcohol were now as if splashed with the strongest cinnabar, instantly spreading to the ears and neck, and even the small earlobes were so red that they almost dripped blood!
The heat was so intense that it seemed as if it would burn her whole body in the next second.
Shame…so embarrassing! Ahhhh!
It was fine for her to tease men in private, but now she was caught by her personal maid.
You heard it, right? With her cultivation level at the fourth level, she must have heard it all, right?
Her toes curled and clenched frantically in her embroidered shoes, and she single-handedly dug out a brand new princess mansion under the bluestone slabs of the alley!
She opened her mouth, but her throat felt like it was blocked by hot sand. At this moment, she wished the ground would crack open so she could crawl into it.
Yan Zhibai was not in a much better condition. He felt as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his head. His cheeks were as hot as branding irons and even breathing became difficult.
He subconsciously wanted to step back and create some distance, but he was afraid that too big a movement would seem too deliberate, so he could only freeze in place.
He stared at the tip of his shoes with his eyes downcast, even his eyelashes were trembling slightly.
After finally mustering up the courage, he timidly raised his head and took a glance... only to see that the other person's face was even redder than his!
The bright crimson color was dazzlingly eye-catching in the dim light, and her gaze seemed a little dazed, looking over his shoulder deeper into the alley?
Yan Zhibai subconsciously turned around to look, at this instant!
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly shuddered, and stretched out his hands with lightning speed, holding his cheeks accurately.
“Hmm!”
Yan Zhibai felt as if struck by lightning, and his entire body instantly froze like a real stone sculpture.
The moment they touched, an indescribable feeling of warmth, a mixture of a woman's fragrance and the smell of alcohol, suddenly spread from the soft palm to every part of his body!
There was a loud buzzing sound in my head, as if thousands of fireworks exploded at the same time.
All the sounds, lights, and scenes around me began to spin wildly, blur, and fade...
The field of vision narrowed rapidly... Finally, all perceptions were focused on one point with incredible clarity.
On those lips that were so close, slightly opened, as red and plump as rose petals covered with morning dew.
Boom... Boom... Boom boom boom!
