Xie Huaiye turned slightly to the side, seemingly adjusting his cuffs.
Sunlight filters through the branches and leaves of the old tree in the courtyard.
The raindrops fell in patches on him.
Warm golden light shimmered on his raven-black hair.
It outlines his well-defined profile.
A high, straight nose, tightly pursed thin lips, and a clearly defined jawline.
That long robe did not conceal his charisma at all.
Instead, it accentuated his aloof and distant aura.
This makes the scene even more vivid and memorable.
[OMG, Xie Shao is so handsome! He looks even better in period costume than in modern clothes!]
[It's such a shame she's not a star with that kind of looks! Haha!]
[Xie Shaoduo looks so good in period costume, it's so pleasing to the eye!!]
[Everyone in the live stream is so lucky to see Xie Shao in ancient costume!]
Yan Ning was a little stunned.
My heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.
This guy...
Wearing modern clothes is like walking hormones.
Wearing ancient costumes, she looks like a celestial being who stepped directly out of a painting.
Compared to Xie Huaiye.
I'm at best a lowly maidservant!
Even Biyun, who was busy pinching the vegetable stalks, was focused on it.
They all seemed to be attracted to Xie Huaiye.
She quickly raised her eyelids.
His dark gaze swept over Xie Huaiye's tall and upright figure.
There was a slight pause.
Her tightly pursed lips seemed to press even tighter.
He then lowered his head and began picking vegetables faster and harder.
At this moment, Sun Wuji's wailing broke the brief silence:
"Hey! This isn't fair!"
Sun Wuji had a head of messy hair.
It leaped out of the side room like a cat with its fur standing on end.
He was wearing a drab, coarse cloth gown.
It's exactly the standard uniform of a waiter in a period drama!
His sleeves were half a length too short, revealing his strong wrists.
The hem also looks a bit cramped.
He grabbed his "work clothes" and pointed angrily at Xie Huaiye.
Then look at Yan Ning's blue dress, which, although simple, is clearly of much better quality.
He was filled with grief and indignation: "Why are your clothes made of such good materials and with such exquisite designs? Why do I have to wear this?"
"Like your servants! This discrimination is too obvious!"
"Mayor! Are you mistaken? Do I look like a lackey?"
He started shouting.
This instantly pulled Yan Ning back from admiring the handsome man.
She looked at Sun Wuji's aggrieved expression.
Then compare it to Xie Huaiye's elegant and unparalleled long robe next to him.
The stark contrast made her unable to resist.
He burst out laughing.
"Come on, Sun Wuji."
Yan Ning suppressed a laugh and deliberately looked him up and down, "I think, with your demeanor, you wouldn't look like a crown prince even in a dragon robe!"
This outfit suits you quite well; it reflects your simple, down-to-earth nature!
Sun Wuji was so angry he jumped up and down: "Yan Ning! What do you mean by this?!"
Xie Huaiye then turned around completely.
His face remained expressionless.
His deep eyes swept over the two of them indifferently.
He raised his hand, brushed aside his long robe, and spoke in a tone as indifferent as a wisp of smoke:
"Clothes are just clothes; as long as they cover the body, it makes no difference whether you wear a dragon robe or a burlap sack."
"Oh, Mr. Xie is so magnanimous!"
The mayor rubbed his hands together, his face crinkling with laughter like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Is everyone all ready?"
"Let's go, let's go check out the excitement in town center! It's market day today, what a coincidence!"
Su Muyao and the others also came out from the courtyard next door.
The group strolled leisurely toward the town center.
The market was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder.
The shouts, the sounds of bargaining, and the laughter and cries of children blended into a wave of heat.
It goes straight into people's ears.
The air was filled with the aroma of baked flatbread and the sweetness of sugar figurines.
There was also the earthy smell wafting from the livestock market.
Xie Huaiye's face stood out against the drab crowd.
It was like a luminous pearl falling into a coal pile.
Many young women and married women stole glances at him.
Two blushes rose on her cheeks, and she forgot all about the work she was doing.
"Look, look! Whose young master is that? My goodness, he looks like he stepped out of a painting!"
A little girl with her hair in two buns tugged at her companion's sleeve, her eyes shining brightly.
"Don't recognize him, his face is completely unfamiliar, tsk, that physique, that demeanor... If only he could say a word..."
The other girl's voice was low and full of longing.
"Stop dreaming! Look at how aloof they are. They clearly don't like rough people like us!"
People squeezed in with the flow of people, and the crowd grew denser as they went.
A huge crowd had gathered in front of us.
Three layers inside and three layers outside.
Their necks were stretched out very long, and they all looked up, like a flock of ducks waiting to be fed.
The buzzing of discussion was louder than anywhere else.
"There seems to be some excitement up ahead!"
Yan Ning was naturally drawn to new things, and her eyes lit up as she grabbed Xie Huaiye's arm.
Without saying a word, he plunged into the crowd, shouting, "Hey Xie Mutou, don't just stand there, go see if it's a monkey show or a traditional opera!"
Xie Huaiye was pulled so hard that he stumbled.
He frowned slightly, but ultimately did not break free.
They let her squeeze in, half dragging and half pulling.
After finally squeezing their way to a slightly forward position, the two looked up.
There stood a wooden building decorated in a rather festive style.
The eaves and corners were covered with bright red lanterns, with golden tassels hanging down.
On the balcony, a graceful young woman stood, her figure slender and delicate, veiled in a light gauze.
