I inexplicably felt guilty and quickly withdrew my hand, trying to maintain my composure, and turned to look at him: “Let’s go. I really want to climb to the rooftop and see what it feels like to have the entire capital under my feet…”
…
“Do you really like the feeling of standing high up?”
After hastily escaping from Qi Chenxuan’s side, before I could catch my breath, another familiar voice rang out from above my head.
I couldn’t help but look up in surprise and saw Wei Chi standing directly in front of me, smiling.
“How are you here too?”
Wei Chi seemed to see through the doubt in my eyes and explained with a smile: “My mother is the Emperor’s direct sister and the princess most loved by the Emperor, so my brothers and I enjoy the same treatment as princes and are allowed to participate in any palace activities!”
No wonder I could meet him at the banquet that day…
I understood and was about to pass by him when he stopped me: “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
“What question?”
I was stunned at first, then remembered: “Oh, you asked if I like standing high up, right? Yes, I do, and the higher, the better!”
Wei Chi looked at me directly, seriously asking: “Is it to see more and further?”
“Not entirely!”
I looked up at the hundred-story rooftop and involuntarily shook my head. For some reason, although I found this guy annoying, he still made me feel inexplicably at ease.
“Then why?” Wei Chi persisted.
I pursed my lips slightly, looking somewhat dazed, my voice distant: “Because from here, the way home is very near!”
Wei Chi’s eyes couldn’t help but fill with concern: “Do you want to go home very much?”
“Yes!”
I nodded lightly: “Very much, very much…”
His expression suddenly became serious, like a promise, seriously looking into my eyes: “If you really want to, I can take you home!”
…
I smiled and shook my head: “Thank you, but I haven’t found a definite way to go back!”
“What do you mean?”
Wei Chi frowned in confusion: “Do you mean you don’t know where your home is?”
“No!”
I couldn’t help but shake my head again: “I just can’t find the way back!”
“How is that possible?
