I suppressed my urge to strangle him, trying to remain calm: “What’s the difference? If you didn’t bring it and it’s not in the manor, where’s my bracelet? Where exactly did you put it?”
Qi Chenxuan finally looked up, facing me with an indifferent expression: “Lost!”
“What?”
A voice distorted by extreme anger broke the silence of the Prince’s Manor. I instinctively grabbed his collar, screaming hysterically: “Do you know how important that thing is to me? How can you just say you lost it?”
Qi Chenxuan responded carelessly: “It’s just a broken stone bracelet. What’s the big deal? If you like it, I can give you a hundred!”
For the first time in my life, I had the impulse to kill, then glared at him: “I don’t want a hundred. I just want that one. Tell me, where exactly did you lose it?”
Qi Chenxuan’s thin lips moved slightly, and after a long while, he reluctantly uttered two words: “Cherry Garden!”
I didn’t care about his expression, and upon hearing his answer, immediately let go and ran wildly towards the West Courtyard…
If I say, I like you
What was important in his life, I could no longer care about, with only one belief in my heart: find the bracelet, find the key to possibly returning to the modern world!
At some point, a misty rain began to fall from the sky. I frantically searched every corner of the Cherry Garden.
The sky gradually darkened. Just as I had searched every corner of the Cherry Garden without finding anything, Qi Chenxuan appeared before me again, angrily grabbing my wrist: “Enough, stop looking. Do you want to make yourself sick?”
I forcefully broke free from his hand, turning away in anger: “Don’t worry about me!”
If he hadn’t inexplicably lost my things, why would I be here in the rain?
Qi Chenxuan again tightly held my shoulders: “Do you really want to go back so much?”
I bit my lip stubbornly, answering firmly: “Yes!”
“What if…”
After struggling for a moment, he suddenly seemed to make up his mind, looking at me seriously: “What if I say I like you and want you to stay?”
My heartbeat skipped a beat. I nervously averted my gaze: “Don’t, don’t joke around!”
