Chapter 98 Because it suits my taste
The moment she met those slender, smiling phoenix eyes, Shang Ruyi felt as if the drizzle around her had stopped for a moment.
The man in front of me had fair and smooth skin, like a young man, clearly pampered. His smile and demeanor exuded a youthful innocence and carefree spirit, making him look at most in his early twenties. However, a closer look at his eyes revealed the marks of time.
That's something a young person definitely shouldn't possess.
Moreover, his long, thin eyebrows, as thin as willow leaves, and his bright, phoenix-shaped eyes were the kind of features usually found on high-ranking deities in temples. However, while gods and Buddhas lower their eyes to show compassion for the world, this man's eyes were filled with a kind of languid yet arrogant disdain for the world.
It was as if everything in the world was nothing more than ants crawling at his feet.
Fortunately, when he looked down at her, there was still a hint of a kind smile in his eyes, but the smile was cold and devoid of warmth. In fact, as he raised his sleeve, a faint, desolate fragrance wafted towards her.
Throughout her life, Shang Ruyi never saw a more perfect face than the one before her.
She subconsciously asked, "Yang Suiyi?"
A mocking smile appeared on his handsome face: "How did you know it was me?"
That voice, it's definitely his.
Shang Ruyi looked at him for a while before saying, "Young Master Yang is so elegant and refined, it's really inappropriate for him to carry that thing, it would spoil your noble air."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the hand holding the umbrella that Yang Suiyi was holding. Yang Suiyi also looked at her hand, where a silk ribbon was wrapped around her fair and slender fingertips, and a small jade ring was hanging from the ribbon.
It was the "good fortune" he had previously obtained from Shang Ruyi.
Yang Suiyi also looked at the jade pendant that had "betrayed" him twice, and then smiled and said, "Even though this thing is not valuable, I still like to wear it."
Why?
"Because it suits my taste."
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
Whether it was her imagination or not, every time Yang Suiyi appeared and spoke to her, he deliberately made his tone and words somewhat ambiguous, which made her very uncomfortable.
So she took a step back, stepped out from under his umbrella, and asked, "Young Master Yang, what brings you here?"
"I came out to look for someone."
"Who should I look for?"
Yang smiled lazily, but did not answer her question. He only said, "I happened to see Madam in the rain, so I left to wander around."
"..."
Shang Ruyi then realized how disheveled she looked.
Even her once neat hair was now slightly flattened by the rain, with her sideburns and forehead hair sticking wetly to her cheeks. Where was there any value in her being worth lingering over?
She forced a smile and said, "You've gone to so much trouble, young master."
Yang smiled casually and stretched out his arm, holding the umbrella over Shang Ruyi's head once again, then said, "In this kind of weather, Madam will catch a cold. There's a place ahead where we can take shelter from the rain, so why don't I take Madam there?"
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, looking at him with some hesitation.
Seeing the strange look on Shang Ruyi's face, Yang casually smiled and said, "Madam, please don't misunderstand. The reason I took you to another place to avoid the rain is because I guessed that you definitely don't want to go home right now, and you don't want to see any familiar people."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat again.
This person has such sharp eyes!
She really didn't want to go back, didn't want to see any familiar people, because at this moment, she had no strength left to deal with anyone's inquiries and concerns.
Now, she has finally found something else to do to distract herself from her frustration.
That is, she was genuinely curious about the identity of this Mr. Yang Suiyi.
After a long silence, Shang Ruyi finally said, "Please lead the way."
