Chapter 456 Losing the hairpin he gave me
“Waaah—” Master.
Ji Wuye wanted to respond to her, but all the words that came out were the whimpers of a small animal.
The water unicorn blinked its pair of round, glassy eyes.
Yu Yan was overjoyed. If she wasn't seeing things, she could see human emotions in his eyes, and specifically, the kind of emotions unique to Ji Wuye.
Is this... a return of consciousness?
Ji Wuye hadn't expected him to remember everything ahead of time, even though his cultivation level was far from reaching the Tribulation Transcending stage.
"Awoo~" Master, I miss you so much~
Yu Yan couldn't understand what he was trying to say, but when she met the little beast's clear, watery eyes, she couldn't help but lift his front paws and bring them closer to her face.
Ji Wuye immediately quickened his pace, and his originally azure blue pointed ears turned a distinct pink due to his current posture.
"Awooooo—"
"Alright, stop yelling. I won't understand you if you keep yelling. Be good and behave yourself."
Yu Yan smiled and gently moved the little beast's head, then quickly put it back.
Ji Wuye lay peacefully on Yu Yan's lap, burying his head in his front paws.
Why is Master like this...?
Five days passed in a flash.
On the day of departure, when Yu Yan saw Feng Su again, she felt that something about him seemed different.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what exactly had changed.
Feng Su's gaze swept over the woman's smooth forehead. His master was not wearing a forehead ornament today, and Xinghen did not know how he had hidden it.
His gaze then shifted to her hair, noticing that she still wasn't wearing the jade hairpin he'd given her. Feng Su clenched his fingers, walked up to Yu Yan, and asked, looking down at her.
"Is it because the hairpin doesn't suit Master's taste?"
Yu Yan was taken aback: "What hairpin?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Yan noticed the other person's face suddenly freeze, and she immediately understood what Feng Su meant.
Yu Yan: "Oh, you mean that red jade hairpin?" Feng Su's eyes flickered slightly, and then he heard the woman say: "So it was a gift from you. I'm sorry, I accidentally lost it a few days ago."
Yu Yan spoke very sincerely.
She didn't mean to trample on other people's feelings; she just knew she wouldn't be using it again anyway, so she might as well find an excuse to get rid of it once and for all.
She keeps her things safe and sound, but that's about it.
Feng Su's heart felt empty for a moment, as if it had been lost.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't sad, but the man didn't show it on his face. He curved his lips into a smile, revealing no sign of disappointment.
"It's alright, I'll give Master something even better later."
"It's almost time, let's go."
Yu Yan interrupted him, walking down the steps ahead of him, leaving him with only her slender back view.
Feng Su clenched his fists slightly, his gaze following Yu Yan's figure with a hint of panic. Had his master discovered his thoughts?
"Master." Feng Su quickly caught up with her, and the two walked side by side. He called out to her cautiously.
Yu Yan turned her head: "What's wrong?"
The woman's expression remained unchanged, as if the interruption just now was merely a coincidence.
Feng Su calmed down, but ultimately couldn't manage a smile. His eyelashes trembled as he looked at Yu Yan and said, "It's alright."
Yu Yan: "Mm."
Of course she knew what Feng Su was going to say next.
That's why I deliberately interrupted him, precisely because I knew that.
He shouldn't like himself, and she is the least likely person to be with him.
Yu Yan's eyes turned cold for a moment, but it was fleeting, and she quickly returned to her usual languid state.
"By the way, I'll need your help looking after your junior brother from now on."
Thinking of Ji Wuye, who had regained his senses, Yu Yan suddenly said.
