All Yan Zhibai could hear was the frantically pounding sound of his own heart.
It was like a thousand horses galloping and charging inside my chest, making a deafening "thump-thump" sound, almost bursting out of my chest!
Besides, all things in heaven and earth turned into nothingness, and she slowly bent down...
As they drew closer, their plump, rosy blossoms resembled fresh flowers waiting to be picked…
Just then, Qin Zhaoyue suddenly took a step back, breaking free from the embrace that was almost clinging to her.
With a forced calmness and urgency, but not daring to look him in the eye, she said, "You...you should go back first."
What? !
Yan Zhibai's mind was in complete chaos, her heart in turmoil.
When he belatedly realized what he had just done, he even forgot to breathe.
Qin Zhaoyue wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
Despite her smooth-talking manner, this was the first time in both her lives that she had ever actively flirted with a man, and everyone saw it.
Yan Zhibai's heart trembled violently when he saw her expression, which was both shy and anxious, as if she was about to cry.
Yes, she was so brave to reveal her feelings, but in the end, she was still an inexperienced young girl.
At this moment... she must be so embarrassed that she wants to disappear.
Yan Zhibai nodded stiffly, like a puppet on a string, and moved unsteadily toward the brightly lit Songtao Pavilion, looking back every few steps.
Each time I turned back, my gaze swept over that figure with complex emotions, and the indescribable thrill only intensified.
Qin Zhaoyue stood firmly blocking the alley entrance, her eyes lowered and motionless.
Only after that figure finally dragged himself into the restaurant did his tense body suddenly relax, like a deflated balloon.
His chest heaved violently as he took several deep breaths, trying to suppress the overwhelming shame that threatened to burst through his skull.
It's okay, it's okay~~~
After mentally preparing herself, Qin Zhaoyue finally managed to turn around with difficulty.
Step by step, with the heavy, claw-like gait of a demon, they walked into the alley.
Finally, she arrived in front of Suimo.
The dim light illuminated Sui Mo's expressionless face, making Qin Zhaoyue's scalp tingle more than ever before.
"Ahem..." She cleared her throat, trying to maintain her usual composure. "What brings you here?"
Sui Mo lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes, concealing the emotions that flashed in her eyes.
"Yes, that's why I came."
"How long have you been here?"
"Just arrived."
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
The evening breeze swept through the narrow alleyway, carrying the coolness of early autumn, swirling up a few fallen leaves with a soft rustling sound.
Just as the long silence was about to completely engulf the master and servant...
"Pretty sister~~~"
A crisp sound broke the deadlock.
Ping An blinked her big, dark eyes, looking at Sui Mo with curiosity and innocence, then at Qin Zhaoyue.
His big face was beaming with a pure smile, as if he was completely oblivious to the eerie atmosphere in the alley.
"puff……"
Sui Mo couldn't hold back any longer, and the veins on his forehead bulged instantly.
"Did you hear everything?"
"No~ This servant didn't hear anything~"
"Go to hell, you bastard! You're kidding me! I'll kill you!"
Ping An tilted his head, not understanding why the pretty sister was angry, or why she was chasing after the not-so-pretty sister.
"Stop it! Please stop fighting!"
Huff... huff...
Damn it, this brat saw the whole thing the first time she seriously tried to seduce a man.
Qin Zhaoyue was panting heavily, glaring at Sui Mo with annoyance.
"Study hard, or you'll end up unable to even find a man, and I'll have to support you for the rest of my life, you're not pretty sister!"
Broken Ink: !
"Yes, Your Highness, thank you for teaching me by example. I will teach my sisters later so that we won't be lonely and miserable."
You dare!
After some playful banter, they finally managed to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Qin Zhaoyue crossed her arms, glared at Sui Mo with annoyance, and let out a cold snort.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but grind her back teeth.
If it weren't for the ink shards disturbing her mood, she would have already won over that man.
Yan Zhibai had only one wish: to travel the world and complete the journey his father, Yan Huaichuan, had not finished.
His father had traveled to the north wind, the grasslands, the Western Regions, and the glaciers, and had no particular attachment to them.
All that's left is to work hard and conquer the southern border regions. Who in the world is more capable than her to realize this dream?
Yan Zhibai has the empty title of a famous scholar in the Northern Border, but frankly speaking, he is nothing. He has no power, influence, or background, so having him by your side is worry-free.
Moreover, because of his identity as a native of Shuofeng, he can extricate himself from the increasingly clear storm of the struggle for succession.
Of course, being good-looking and having a good build also played a small part.
Ignoring his prince's resentment, Suimo succinctly explained his purpose.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue's eyes widened in surprise. "So, the person in the carriage heard the commotion in the alley just now?!"
Sui Mo immediately waved his hand, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have already used my true energy to isolate the area around the carriage, so the people inside won't hear anything."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyue rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Heh~~ You're such a clever little devil!"
"Your Highness is too kind."
Sui Mo nodded slightly, his tone calm, but the slight upturn of his lips and the fleeting glint in his eyes clearly said, "Of course." He'd been hanging around with this ancestor for so long; surely he had some sense of propriety by now?
Hmph, quite proud of yourself.
Qin Zhaoyue was too lazy to argue with her, and waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, put him down."
