“Of course!” He imitated my gesture, lightly blinking twice, with increasing confidence and pride in his expression. His white clothes were like snow, untouched by dust.
“Okay, I’ll trust you this time!” I raised my eyebrows and smiled, reaching out my hand. Yuan Ye also instinctively reached out to high-five me in mid-air.
“If there’s nothing else, let’s go inside,” Mei Ying’s cold voice suddenly interrupted our conversation.
I and Yuan Ye stuck out our tongues at each other, making faces, and then followed him into the flower forest…
“It’s so beautiful here!” I looked around and couldn’t help but exclaim.
Yuan Ye immediately turned his head and said, “If Xin’er likes it, you can stay here long-term!”
“Xin’er?” I immediately glared at him unhappily, “It seems we’re not close enough for that!”
Bingxi, you seem to be meddling too much!” Meiying said displeased.
Bingxi calmly responded: “Yes, I overstepped. I just wanted to remind the young master that as an assassin, one cannot develop emotions, otherwise, the one in danger will not be just you!
Meiying coldly said: “You’re overthinking it. I don’t like anyone! She is just an object I’m tasked to protect. I’m very clear about this!”
“The best thing is for the young master to be clear in his heart. I do not want the young master to ruin the Yan Yu Tower that you have worked so hard to build for a woman,” Bingxi’s words were sharp, completely unlike her daytime deference.
“Enough, I will handle my own affairs. I don’t need you to teach me what to do!” Meiying interrupted her in a low voice, seemingly suppressing his anger.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong!” Bingxi apologized reluctantly.
“Alright, I’m going back. You go check on her and prepare an extra blanket for her. The valley is much colder at night than outside. She doesn’t sleep well, so don’t let her catch a cold!”
“Yes!” Probably considering Meiying’s anger, Bingxi did not say anything more.
After Meiying’s figure disappeared around the corner, Bingxi’s gaze suddenly turned towards where I was, coldly saying: “Come down, I know you’re there!”
