Chapter 99 I just want to make you feel better
Although she knew this person was eccentric and could not be judged by ordinary standards, Shang Ruyi still did not expect that he would take her to a post station on the outskirts of the city.
This post station has been abandoned for a long time. The pillars are so mottled that their original color is no longer visible. Only the roof tiles are still intact and can provide shelter from the wind and rain.
But upon closer inspection, one discovers that the inn has been spotlessly cleaned, and a table has been placed inside with a cup of hot tea and two plates of snacks.
Several servants stood outside the pavilion. Upon seeing them arrive, they bowed and then silently withdrew.
This was clearly something Yang had arranged beforehand.
She couldn't help but frown and give the man a deep look—his actions were a bit too extravagant.
But Yang Suiyi didn't care at all, as if the amount of manpower and resources spent was irrelevant to him. As soon as he entered the pavilion and sat down, he crossed his legs.
Immediately afterwards, a servant came in carrying a pair of shoes.
Those were also a pair of exquisite silk shoes, exactly the same as the ones Yang Suiyi was wearing. The servant knelt at his feet and helped him put them on, then casually tossed the pair of silk shoes that had been stained with a little mud aside.
Shang Ruyi's eyes widened suddenly.
That's such a waste!
Yang casually raised his hand: "Have some tea to ward off the chill."
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at him with a complicated expression, and reached out to take the teacup: "Thank you."
Then, the two of them started drinking tea and eating snacks.
With a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it wasn't so cold anymore. Plus, drinking the warm, almost scalding tea immediately dispelled the chill, and Shang Ruyi felt much more comfortable. However, the heavy burden of her worries still made it hard for her to breathe.
In my ears, I could almost hear Yuwen Ye's cold, even somewhat ruthless voice again—
This marriage is not what either of us wanted...
But clearly, we all need this marriage...
So from today onwards, we can act as a married couple in front of everyone...
These words are still ringing in my ears, so why did I forget them in such a short time? He reminded me repeatedly, but I kept forgetting.
They might even yearn for something real to exist between two people.
This wishful thinking is laughable yet tragically sad.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Yang, who was sitting to the side, casually said, "If you're feeling too sad, why not look at the scenery outside? Beautiful scenery can make you feel better."
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked up at him and saw him leaning against a pillar, holding a teacup in one hand, looking relaxed and lazy, as if he really just came here to enjoy the scenery, as carefree as a hermit. Perhaps because she was so close, the ancient and cold fragrance emanating from him was even stronger.
Shang Ruyi paused for a moment, then said, "Aren't you going to ask me?"
Yang glanced at her casually: "What did I ask you?"
"Ask me why—"
She hesitated for a moment, unsure how to continue. Yang Suiyi noticed her hesitation and smiled faintly, "I know you're very sad. If you weren't, you wouldn't have been completely oblivious to being soaked in the rain for half a day. But I won't ask."
"Why?"
"Because you have something sad on your mind, if I ask you, I will also be affected and become sad."
"..."
"I just want to make you feel better, but I don't want to be affected by your emotions."
