Tonight, he asked her to meet at the rockery. Should she go or not? Mei Siyu pondered deeply, finding it hard to decide.
He was the first close male she had met since arriving in ancient times. Whenever she recalled that night’s scene, she would blush, her heart racing. His unique subtle fragrance, his precisely defined exquisite features, the innate extraordinary temperament he exuded – all of these created ripples on her previously calm heart’s lake.
Crouching beside the rockery, her thin body trembling, she still felt the cold wind. He asked her to come out, but he didn’t show up. What was going on! She had been waiting for about two hours. She wanted to leave, but feared he would arrive just as she did, so she continued to wait patiently.
He held her hand tightly, which felt noticeably thin. Her outward appearance seemed delicate and weak, but her inner spirit was surprisingly strong. What kind of woman was she? Sometimes pure, sometimes fragile, sometimes clever and quirky – in any form, she was stunning! Even someone like him, who had seen countless people, was shocked by her beauty!
Entering the imperial kitchen, the spacious room contained only the two of them. “Wait a moment, I’ll check if there’s anything left to eat,” Ming Leng Chen said, walking towards the stove. “I’ll come with you,” Mei Si Yu grabbed him as he was about to turn, speaking lightly.
Without a word, Mei Si Yu followed Ming Leng Chen, seeing only some pastries piled on a porcelain plate. “There’s nothing much to eat now, just make do with these,” Ming Leng Chen said.
”Mm, this is delicious! What is it made of? It’s really good!” Mei Si Yu, already hungry to the point of feeling her back touching her chest, ate without hesitation, talking while eating.
Ming Leng Chen gently wiped the food crumbs from the corner of her mouth. “Eat slowly, be careful not to choke.” Her every move was so pure and simple, without any affectation, which deepened his good impression of her.
”Haha, it’s fine, cough cough!” Mei Si Yu couldn’t stop coughing, her almond eyes tightly closed, looking in great pain. She took the water Ming Leng Chen handed her and drank it in large gulps, her adorable appearance once again drawing him in.
