I couldn’t help but laugh inwardly, but kept a composed expression: “Alright, no harm done. We’ve traveled for days and are tired. We just want a quiet room to rest. Could you help us arrange accommodation?”
The shopkeeper bowed respectfully and said, “Miss Xin, please be at ease. Knowing you were coming, I had already arranged the villa outside the city for Siyue Fortress and will lead you there right away!”
“Thank you for your trouble!” I nodded and smiled, indicating for him to lead the way.
He hurriedly walked ahead, and when passing by Xi Lin Ya, he couldn’t help but be attracted by the noble temperament emanating from him. He looked up and asked, “Who is this young gentleman?”
“He is my friend, shopkeeper, just lead the way!” I quickly answered before Xi Lin Ya could speak.
Joking aside, I had finally gotten to be the boss here! If the shopkeeper knew there was an even bigger boss beside me, what hope would I have as a little boss!
Xi Lin Ya didn’t rush to expose me, a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
I secretly pinched him hard when no one was paying attention, my eyes warning him: “If you dare to ruin my plans, I’ll make you suffer!”
He curled his lips, completely disregarding my threat.
“Xin’er, let’s go!” Xiao Xiao urged me from the front.
“Hmm!” As I looked up, someone was walking down the inn’s stairs.
With just one glance, I couldn’t look away…
The person’s sleeves fluttered gracefully, with an extraordinary temperament, skin like snow, eyes like ink, a head of silver-white hair, with a few strands lazily falling on the forehead against his cheek.
Tears welling in my eyes, I slowly walked towards him, a distance of ten feet, yet it felt like I had walked for centuries!
“Xu…” My hoarse voice was barely recognizable as my own.
“I’ve finally, finally found you…”
Everything went black, and I felt myself falling into a warm embrace!
It’s you, right? There’s no embrace in this world as warm as yours. I smiled, closing my eyes peacefully, gradually losing consciousness.
