Jin Suting slowed down her pace and felt the beautiful scenery that she had finally been able to see that day.
She seemed to have returned to her childhood, when she was in the orphanage, singing and playing games in the yard after dinner under the beautiful sunset.
Even though she didn't have pretty clothes or a nice house, she remembered vividly that the time before she was five was the happiest time of her life.
"Miss!"
Tan Er stood at the entrance of the General's Mansion and waved at them. Jin Suting asked, "What's wrong?"
Tan Er ran down and said to her, "Miss, the Crown Prince is here and is waiting for you in the courtyard!"
The joy is beyond words.
Jin Suting asked, "What is Helan Ruizhe doing here?"
How could Tan'er know? "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't tell me. He asked where the young lady was when he arrived. I said I went to buy groceries. But the look in his Royal Highness's eyes was quite scary, so I ran out to look for you, young lady."
Jin Suting nodded thoughtfully. Was Helan Ruizhe's look scary?
"Okay," she said, "then help Xiao Hei take the things off his back. I'm going to need them later!"
Tan'er agreed.
The sky changed from a little bit of orange to a large area of orange, red and orange blending together, like a big dye vat.
Jin Suting hummed a little tune and slowly returned to Suxuan Courtyard from the gate of the general's mansion.
From a distance, I saw a figure sitting on a stone bench and drinking tea leisurely.
"Helan Ruizhe," Jin Suting walked over and patted his shoulder without any hesitation, saying in a sarcastic tone, "What brings you here~"
Helan Ruizhe put down his teacup, looked at her, and said, "Northwest wind."
Pretty good at picking up jokes...
Jin Suting coughed lightly and smiled. Helan Ruizhe looked at her helplessly through the mask and said, "You love to laugh."
Jin Suting pretended to be surprised: "You figured this out, you're amazing!"
Helan Ruizhe: "..."
Jin Suting sat down next to him, feeling a little thirsty. She picked up another cup, poured some tea, drank it all, and asked, "But I'm particularly curious, why do you always wear a mask?"
Helan Ruizhe's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face: "Haven't you asked this question before?"
Jin Suting touched the tip of his nose and said, "Then I'll ask again."
She spoke in a coquettish tone, a tactic Helan Ruizhe couldn't stand the most. Jin Suting also knew that her coquettish tone always worked.
Helan Ruizhe said: "I'm too handsome, and I'm afraid that I'll blind everyone's eyes if I don't wear a mask."
Jin Suting looked at him with disdain. She had never seen Helan Ruizhe's true face. It would be a lie to say she wasn't curious, but she didn't want to keep asking him in person.
"Okay, okay."
Since Helan Ruizhe doesn't want to say anything, just ignore what she just said...
Helan Ruizhe asked, "What gift have you prepared for the Queen Mother's birthday?"
Why are you asking this...
Jin Suting was overwhelmed. "I prepared two snacks. Don't worry, they are definitely not just random dishes."
Helan Ruizhe had an expression of "unbelievable" and said, "Yeah."
Jin Suting hurriedly added that she had truly prepared a great gift: "Don't worry, seriously, the snacks I make will absolutely outshine all the others!"
Helan Ruizhe really wanted to believe her, but with a little effort, this...
But his attitude was still sincere: "Okay, I believe you."
But is Jin Suting the kind of person whose attitude cannot be seen?
She didn't say: "I'll make it for you to try, but you don't believe me!"
