Faced with Yan Shaoqing's unreasonable behavior, Tang Chen initially thought it was unreasonable. But after hearing what he said, and looking at Yue Sheng, who was standing across from him and was momentarily speechless, Tang Chen decided that at this moment, he should call the young lady next to him: "...Um, young lady, do you have any snacks?"
"Yes, wait a moment."
"By the way, give me a small stool, thank you."
It's only been a while, and it's already dark. I don't know when I'll be able to eat, so I'll just eat something to fill my stomach. The onlookers can no longer suppress the little flames of gossip in their hearts. Come on, let me hear what's going on first, then decide where to stand.
"Then why didn't you tell me from the beginning? If you had told me, so many things wouldn't have happened."
Facing Yan Shaoqing's questioning, doubting and complaining, Yue Sheng's expression suddenly turned cold: "What happened is nothing more than you pushing away someone you don't like and avoiding an unwilling marriage. It's nothing more than a foolish mistake."
"you!"
Yan Shaoqing couldn't refute her words. Indeed, he hadn't wanted the marriage arranged by his family, but thanks to her presence, he had the courage to resist, winning the right to freely choose the person to accompany him for the rest of his life. He loved her, but was his love misplaced? Did that count?
Yue Sheng's expression had begun to grow impatient, and his tone gradually became a bit irritable. After a few exchanges, he simply said, "What? Haven't you had enough fighting on Zisang Mountain? If you still want to fight, let's go out and fight."
Tang Chen's hand holding the snack trembled slightly. The moment she put the snack into her mouth with her trembling hand, she seemed to realize something: Damn, this melon is poisonous!
She finally remembered why the jade flower looked familiar. Wasn't it the same thing as the Beauty Lamp from before? Wait, let me sort it out. Wasn't the Beauty Lamp that fought Yan Shaoqing on Zisang Mountain that day a man? Although she couldn't remember his face clearly, she couldn't have mistaken his gender unless she was truly blind.
Could this beautiful Yue Sheng be a cross-dressing tycoon? Wow, that makes everything they just said make perfect sense. Young Master Yan, driven to his wrath by his beloved, gave up a seemingly insignificant marriage to be with the woman of his heart, only to discover in the end that the woman was actually a man! Honestly, if this is the same person, then even a man in a dress and makeup would look so much better than her. Suddenly, life feels filled with disappointment...
"Not enough," he said, and before he finished speaking, Yan Shaoqing used his palm as a blade and attacked Yue Sheng directly. Yue Sheng dodged it with a flash and turned from offense to defense.
"Then what else do you want?"
"I kill you!"
As soon as Yan Shaoqing said this, Yue Sheng, who had been dodging and defending just now, stopped in his tracks. He stood still, staring directly at Yan Shaoqing, waiting for his palm wind to hit his face before he said leisurely, "I won't live long anyway, so do as you please."
Yue Sheng's words seemed to bring the maddened beast back to its senses. Yan Shaoqing's palm stopped just a finger's length from Yue Sheng's forehead. He yearned for those eyebrows and eyes; the person he longed for had nearly lost her life for him. But he couldn't forgive, couldn't forgive...
After Yan Shaoqing left in anger, Yue Sheng slowly closed her eyes and stood there for a long time before slowly moving forward: "Miss Tang, the show is over, please follow me."
Tang Chen didn't dare to speak until Yue Sheng brought him to the room. He couldn't hold it in any longer and asked curiously, "Yue, Yue Sheng, you and Yan Shaoqing..."
Before she could finish, Yue Sheng spoke up, "There are all kinds of clothes and jewelry in the room for you to use as you please. Meals will be delivered to you on time every day. If you need anything else, just ask. Wujiang is a peaceful place with few bandits. You can walk around freely as long as you don't leave the city. It's late, so go to bed early after washing up. Yue Sheng won't disturb you anymore."
Tang Chen looked at the room where he was suddenly the only one left. He said to the open door, "Thank you, thank you. You ran so fast."
When he left the house again, the street in front of Huayue Tower was already ablaze with lights. However, in the dim light, Yue Sheng couldn't find Yan Shaoqing.
Yue Sheng returned to the building, thinking that Huaping must have noticed his whereabouts, so he went to find Huaping, who was busy cleaning up the mess, and asked her. Huaping only said, "The man seemed to have suddenly sobered up. He didn't say a word, just left the money bag and left."
"Which way?"
Huaping smiled helplessly: "It's already this late, and you still want to go look for him?"
Yue Sheng sighed, saying he had to make things clear, then asked Huaping to fetch him some water and prepare his clothes. Yan Shaoqing had always loved the Yue Sheng who existed as a woman, the one who chatted and laughed with him, made tea and played the zither, and saved his life. He wanted to return to his original self, hoping this time he could make things clear. He truly didn't want to lose Yan Shaoqing as a friend. After all, those past events were real; how could they be completely erased with just a single word?
She has taken off her makeup and is wearing old clothes. The person in the mirror with the cinnabar between her lips and a pale face is the real Yue Sheng.
...After Yan Shaoqing stumbled out of Huayue Tower, he somehow ran to the dock and blew a bamboo whistle.
Zhang Xiaohua was rowing the boat, cursing and wondering who had come to blow the whistle so late at night when she spotted the man in white standing under the lights on the dock. Her bamboo whistle was a fixed number, not something easily acquired. But just by looking at his figure, she could guess who had called her over: "Hey, isn't this Young Master Yan? What happened? Did you get dumped by a young lady again?"
"...Shut up, where's what I want?"
Zhang Xiaohua smelled the alcohol coming from Yan Shaoqing, touched her nose gently, and then took out a bulging purse from her bosom and handed it to him: "Here, I've been searching for a month, and I've finally found it. I pay you and we'll give you the goods."
Yan Shaoqing looked at the purse in his hand thoughtfully for a moment, then raised his hand and threw it into the river. She said she liked pearls because they could be used as medicine, nourish the five internal organs, and were beautiful. To make her smile, he had found many pearls, thinking that he would give them all to Zhang Xiaohua as a betrothal gift and a surprise after the last bag arrived. But in the end...
"You are wasting it. I have been looking for it for so long and you just threw it away! Since you threw it away, I can pick it up again and it will be mine." She knew that this drunk man would definitely not cherish the fruits of her labor. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and tied a small rope to the purse. How clever she is, Zhang Xiaohua!
"what ever."
