Walking in the direction Ruo Han pointed for three days, Ye Suo and I arrived at a small town called Wan’an Town, with antique buildings and continuous hawking sounds along the streets…
Ruo Han’s medicine was indeed effective. Ye Suo’s wound healed quickly these days, but his chest would still ache occasionally. We knew Ruo Han’s medicine could only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, so we planned to rest in this small town to let Ye Suo recover.
“Suo, I want to get down and walk,” I said, the person holding me smiled happily and carefully put me down from the horse.
We led the horse slowly down the street. Everyone’s face changed in fear when they saw us. It seemed this blue-haired curse was deeply rooted among the people of the Mirror Kingdom. I couldn’t help but ask, “Suo, what does blue hair on women mean in the Mirror Kingdom?”
“Want to know?” He deliberately teased, raising an eyebrow. I nodded, “Will I also take the world?”
He laughed, his gaze drifting forward, then suddenly turned to look at me seriously: “If you want the world, I’ll take it for you!”
“Hehe…” I was satisfied and laughed.
“Long’er, these past two days are the most peaceful I’ve lived,” he smiled relievedly.
My heart ached. The hidden scar was suddenly exposed. I pretended not to hear and turned to look at the street vendors’ goods.
Whatever I picked, he would follow and throw silver. When I could no longer hold anything, he pulled me, a hint of regret in his eyes for his previous words, but still insisted: “Long’er, don’t be like this. I absolutely won’t regret the choice I made… I’m even grateful because you walked with me. Can we spend the last carefree days together?”
I thought for a moment, pouted and glared at him, then put back everything I was holding, telling the vendors: “I’m not buying anymore, return my silver!”
“Miss, you…” The vendors looked helpless, finally reluctantly returning my silver.
“Who does this?” Ye Suo lightly laughed, embarrassedly turning his gaze elsewhere.
I’m not new to him, I pursed my lips: “I’m hungry, let’s eat!”
