Ah Li glanced at Liu Zhan in the crowd, then walked over, put her hand on his shoulder, and said, "Little brother, you're here. Mother and Father have been waiting for you over there for a long time."
Liu Zhan didn't recognize Ali, but Ali secretly slipped him a private seal. The design and materials used for that seal were something only the royal family in Jingran Kingdom possessed.
Liu Zhan held Ah Li's private seal, walked to Ah Li's side, and looked at the kind person who had offered to lead the way, saying, "No need, my family is here."
The man chuckled twice and said, "It's good to have met family. Don't get lost again next time."
After everyone left, Ahri said, "Can I have it back now?"
"Huh?" Liu Zhan looked at Ah Li in confusion.
Ahri raised her hand and pulled a red thread from his hand.
Liu Zhan only let go of her hand when he discovered that the red thread was connected to her private seal.
Ahri retracted her private seal and said, "That person is bad. Just now, while you were talking, there were two other people watching you from not far away."
"Where?"
Ahri said, "In a place where you can't see me."
While Liu Zhan was asking for directions, these three people gathered together. Seeing that Liu Zhan was alone, they whispered among themselves and then parted ways.
One person came up and spoke to Liu Zhan, while the other two stood in Liu Zhan's blind spot.
Liu Zhan wanted to turn around, but Ah Li said, "Don't turn around, or they'll find you."
Ah Li continued walking forward, and Liu Zhan followed. He felt a chill run down his spine; he was terrified.
Ahri even asked him, "Where did you get separated from your friends? I'll take you there."
Liu Zhan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I forgot."
"Then follow me first, I'll show you around the neighborhood and see if we can run into your family."
Ali led the group towards a more crowded area, and every now and then she would ask Liu Zhan to look around and see if there were any people he recognized.
Finally, several servants and a middle-aged man came over, calling out to Liu Zhan, "Young Master, we've finally found you."
"Zhan'er, you'd better stay close to me next time, you scared me to death."
Surrounded by people, Liu Zhan finally released his fear. He nestled in his father's arms and said, "Father, I will never run away again."
Ah Li stood to one side, and seeing that they were indeed his family members, she turned and left.
By the time Liu Zhan turned around to look for her, she was already gone.
"Zhan'er, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking for the person who helped me earlier."
Liu Zhan clenched his fist; it felt empty.
He and she weren't very close just now, but she always protected him. Whenever he turned his head or looked up, he could always see her by his side.
who is she?
What's your name?
Is there a possibility of marriage?
He was so silly back then, he actually forgot to ask her name.
Now, he saw her again.
Liu Zhan glanced intently at Ah Li, then asked his elder brother beside him, "You mean, she is the Fourth Prince Yu Li, and she will be my future wife?"
Liu Huan joked, "You were reluctant when you first arrived, but now that you've seen people, you're willing?"
Liu Zhan said embarrassedly, "She's the person I met at the temple fair that day."
Liu Huan also looked in Ah Li's direction and said, "Is she the person in the painting in your room?"
Liu Zhan nodded, "Yes, it's her. I wouldn't mistake her."
The painting in his room depicted her; amidst the surging crowd, she seemed to appear beside him, radiating light.
