Eight-year-old me could only do one thing: wait. I believed that since heaven had arranged everything, it would definitely bring that person to me…
I lay leisurely on the grass in the back mountain of Xiliu Castle, eyes closed, with waves of flower fragrance wafting and gentle breezes caressing my face, feeling incredibly free and relaxed!
If not for Ying Xiao’s life-threatening call, everything would have been perfect.
Just as I was conflicted, she had already arrived, urgently urging: “Xin’er, why are you still lying here? The young master is looking everywhere for you, almost turning the entire castle upside down. You should go back and see!
Ying Xiao saw me lost in thought and crouched down, raising her willow-like eyebrows and pouting, calling out, “Xin’er, Xin’er? Are you listening?”
I stared at her blankly and asked, “What did you say?”
She rolled her eyes in exasperation, half-pouting and complaining, “Annoying Xin’er, you’re driving me crazy! How can you still look so calm at a time like this!”
I looked at her innocently, seeing her extremely serious expression, seemingly truly angry. I had to stand up and coax her, “Okay, okay, I’m up. What were you saying? Say it again!”
A smile finally appeared on her delicate face. She grabbed my sleeve and started running in the direction we were heading, “Hurry, hurry, we’ll talk as we go!”
“…” I followed her silently, rubbing my aching forehead and cursing internally: This damned Xi Lin Yan, can’t he just stay calm? Must we all keep running around after him in wind and rain?
When will this end!!!
“I heard several shops have had accidents recently. The young master is furious and insisting on seeing you. Please help think of a solution, or none of us will have peace!”
Great, everyone’s treating me like a savior, pushing me to the front lines for their own peace?
Damn, are you serious!
I’m the smartest, so I must be the shield?
…
Ten years have passed, becoming a femme fatale.
He listens to me, so I’ll…
No, when has he ever listened to me?
Looks like everyone’s desperate to save themselves, asking me to put out the fire?
“Wait… wait a moment!”
