When Yan Shaoqing turned around, the man who was so familiar to him was standing under the lantern, looking at him. This time, he didn't walk towards him quickly. This time, he could avoid his eyes. This time, he decided to just walk past him.
"stop."
Maybe it was a habit, or maybe it was because he couldn't let it go, Yan Shaoqing finally stopped and said, "I have nothing to say to you."
"I just want to say one thing."
“…”
Yue Sheng stopped just a few steps away from Yan Shaoqing and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you, and what I said to you wasn't a lie. I just didn't expect you..."
Yue Sheng's words made Yan Shaoqing's resentment rise again: "Haha, it's just my own stupidity."
Zhang Xiaohua, who was scooping up the pearls nearby, opened the bag and counted the pearls. She said with some dismay, "I agree. I think you're pretty stupid, too. You've been with someone for so long, and you can't even tell if they're a man or a woman. Even I, who's only met them a few times, can tell."
Yue Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Zhang has a unique vision. If everyone in the world were like you, I'm afraid my disguise would be nothing but a joke in their eyes."
Now, Yan Shaoqing also felt disgusted with him and thought he was a joke. A man of seven feet tall, pretending to be a girl, how ridiculous.
Zhang Xiaohua jumped off the boat. If it weren't for the support of his two children, Huayue Tower would have collapsed along with the Jiangdu Su family. Who would be willing to give up their "nature" if they didn't have a hidden reason? Yan Shaoqing, on the other hand, had fallen too deeply in love and ended up in big trouble.
But if you think about it carefully, if you really want to be together for life, you don't necessarily have to be lovers or husband and wife; mutual love doesn't necessarily exist only between men and women. Let's see what he thinks. However, this Yue OP is also strange. Judging from their relationship, it should be more than ordinary. Some things can actually be explained long ago. Why did it have to be after Young Master Yan proposed to her?
"I heard that Master Yue likes pearls. What a coincidence! I have some for free. I'll give them to you."
Yue Sheng didn't hesitate. He took the bag of wet pearls from Zhang Xiaohua's hand and carefully put it in his arms: "...Thank you."
Another deal was done. Money was hard to come by. So Zhang Xiaohua decided to treat himself when he had money. This was why Zhang Xiaohua, who controlled all the fishing boats on the river, could still only row a fishing boat.
Zhang Xiaohua's disturbing singing voice gradually drifted away. The two of them looked at each other in silence, accompanied by the river breeze and the clear moon, quietly looking at each other, waiting for the other to speak.
"...There are many women in this world who are better than Yue Sheng. She is just a passing figure in your dream. Now that you have woken up from the dream, don't indulge in it anymore. I thought that you and I were just a gentleman's friendship, but I didn't know. It is ultimately my fault. I apologize to you. That's all I have to say. Farewell."
Yan Shaoqing didn't say anything. Yue Sheng thought that he might not want to see him again, so he pulled his cloak and slowly left.
It wasn't until Yue Sheng disappeared from Yan Shaoqing's sight that he began to mutter to himself, as if waking from a dream. His thoughts were still on that peerless woman, but in his trance, the woman's figure slowly overlapped with that of a man. Finally, the two merged into one...
...Tang Chen spent his days in Huayue Tower, with nothing to do but go for a walk. He would listen to songs and dances, flirt with the ladies, and even have the good fortune to try out nearly every stringed instrument in the building. Looking at these simple and elegant instruments, Tang Chen's thoughts drifted to the beautiful woman in red, smiling and presiding over the building.
"Master Yue, can I ask you a question?"
Yue Sheng sat in a corner of the building, counting the bills and collecting money while moving the snacks on the table towards Tang Chen: "Just tell me."
Tang Chen moved closer to Yue Sheng, looked around to make sure no one was watching them, and then asked in a low voice, "Are you really a man?"
Yue Sheng's hand, which was turning the abacus, was slightly stunned: "What do you think?"
Yue Sheng did not directly answer Tang Chen's question. To be honest, in this world, apart from Huaping and Zhang Xiaohua, there is probably no other person who knows whether he is a man or a woman.
Tang Chen held his chin with his left hand and subconsciously patted his solid chest with his right hand. He looked down at Yue Sheng and couldn't help but sighed: "I would rather you were a woman. You look handsome in men's clothes and charming in women's clothes. My breasts as a real girl are not as big as your chest muscles. I think I may not be a woman."
"Pfft, this skirt is so wide that you can't really tell anything. But it does feel a bit flat."
Tang Chen's hand trembled slightly as he took the snack. He realized that things were not simple. As the saying goes, if you are not at peace, how can you rule the world? He dropped the topic and said, "...Goodbye!"
After Tang Chen had enough of wandering around Huayue Tower, she rushed back to her room, eagerly anticipating lunch. Upon entering, she saw the table overflowing with dishes and listened to the waitresses' introductions. She immediately sensed Yue Sheng's generous kindness: red date and longan pork knuckle soup, fermented rice wine and eggs, bird's nest stewed with snow frog, and more. Tang Chen clutched her chest, her heart etched with regret. Finally, with tears in her eyes, she gazed at the empty bowl on the table and burped loudly.
To prevent these nutrients from growing in places where they shouldn't, Tang Chen supported his waist and trembled as he walked down the stairs. It was impossible to exercise, it would never be possible in this life. He could only go out shopping and walk to barely maintain his weight...
As the saying goes, when you're in the martial arts world, you're bound to get hurt. As a newly arrived time traveler, Tang Chen has always been aware that life won't always be smooth sailing. So, when someone suddenly stuffed a piece of cloth into her mouth, tied her hands and feet, and took her away, she remained remarkably calm. Typically, according to the plot, someone would find her soon after she's been captured, and then a peerless hero, riding a colorful BMW, would rescue her from her misery.
Then, just as Tang Chen had predicted, the people assigned by Huayue Tower to protect her immediately launched a city-wide search after discovering her sudden disappearance. However, even when the moon was high above the willows, the people from Huayue Tower still hadn't found any trace of her.
Seeing that there was still no news from Tang Chen, Huaping hurried back to Huayue Tower to discuss countermeasures with Yue Sheng: "Master, what should we do now? If we can't find Miss Tang, it will be difficult to explain to Valley Master Wang."
Yue Sheng gently waved the round fan in his hand. After thinking for a moment, Yue Sheng suddenly remembered something: "Miss Tang has no relatives or friends, so it is impossible for her to have any enemies, unless..."
