He said nothing more, only taking out a jade pendant of pure green from his chest and handing it to me, “I think… Feng Yin would definitely want to see you again!”
I held the jade pendant tightly in my hand, watching him rise and leave.
Fate comes and goes, I believe we will meet again!
“You seem quite familiar with that man,” Xi Lin Yan had somehow approached me, looking thoughtfully in the direction Bei Ting Zi Han had left.
“He rescued me after I fell from the cliff!” I withdrew my gaze and calmly looked at him.
“Oh, so why didn’t you offer yourself to him!” He spoke as if joking, but his eyes clearly held a hint of investigation and nervousness.
I went along with his words, shrugging and laughing: “I wanted to, but he doesn’t fancy me!”
” This was somewhat true; Bei Ting Zi Han was thinking about the woman called Nan Gong Qin Xue, even if he said he’d give me a chance, it didn’t mean he liked me.
Xi Lin Yan frowned, gripping my hand tightly, his face turning red: “Do you, do you really like that guy?”
I looked puzzled at his expression. This guy was strange; who I liked should have nothing to do with him. Was he this nervous?
I slapped his hand away with a “pa” and retorted: “Boring!”
“I, I…” he stammered, wanting to say something but unable to.
“What I? Don’t tell me you like me!” I half-narrowed my eyes, giving him a sidelong glance, my face full of interest, though the reality was completely different.
I was so angry that I coldly reprimanded: “We’ve lived together for so long, and we’re practically family! What kind of talk is this? Of course the fire-breathing dragon’s safety is important, but Ying Xiao is just a young girl who has traveled far with you. Shouldn’t you take better care of her?”
“I originally thought you both seemed quite honest and quite suitable for that girl. When the time came, I was going to let her marry whichever one of you she wanted, which would be a good outcome. I never expected you to be so cold-blooded. I’m glad I found out early, otherwise I might have ruined that girl’s entire life…”
