On the other side, Bei Ting Zi Han looked at me worriedly: “Why did you…”
“Stop—” I quickly interrupted, unhappily glaring at him: “Don’t tell me you’re going to blame me for agreeing to the Emperor’s wager too. Rest assured, tomorrow I won’t let your Qi Xue sister lose too badly!”
His face turned pale, stammering: “That’s not what I meant!”
“Whatever you meant, the matter is settled. Saying more is useless!” I waved my hand and quickened my pace, too lazy to listen to their nonsense.
After walking a few steps, I turned back, staring directly at Xi Lin Yan: “By the way, why won’t you marry a princess? Isn’t it said they have hair like ink, skin like snow, all rare beauties? It’s a rare opportunity dropped from the sky, letting you marry a beautiful wife for free. What are you unhappy about?”
I knew clearly that this change was only for one person, for a woman…
Caught between the two, I suddenly seemed less beautiful. A simple pink short robe paired with a matching long dress, with a pale yellow sash tied into a large butterfly knot at the waist, the extra length hanging down elegantly, yet still far less striking than the two of them!
Even more outrageous was that they both simultaneously wore cold expressions, their faces so frigid they could freeze ice. I suddenly began to miss the previous Xi Lin Yan – he was annoying before, but not as cold as now. Overall, he was more human then.
I unexpectedly reached out and pinched their handsome faces, patting and rubbing for a while. I swear I wasn’t intentionally taking advantage of handsome men, I just simply didn’t want to face two dead-faced expressions!
In a moment, their white jade-like faces simultaneously turned an abnormal red. Only then was I satisfied and let go, scolding without good humor: “Enough from you two! Can’t you smile? Are you heading to an execution? Today’s protagonist is me! Why are you both posing and being cool? Are you trying to steal my spotlight? I really want to kick you both to the moon!”
“Both handsome men exclaimed in unison; even their eyebrow-raising movements were synchronized!
“Xin Ran meant the moon!” Finally, Bei Ting Zi Han was the first to show understanding.
