“Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, just to amuse everyone.” A cold voice drifted from the shadows.
“Who is this? Please show yourself!” Lan Ling’er thought the voice must belong to someone lurking nearby.
“Since it’s a good match, whether we meet is secondary,” the person responded elegantly.
“Great! Cloud, present your couplet!”She had a hint of a smile, as if she guessed the speaker’s identity.
“Looking at the mountains, Lingnan north and south – melancholic beauty, laughing at past like smoke.” The crowd below became more excited.
“Laughing at the river, before and after the river – cool, enjoying leisure here.” A white-robed scholar stepped forward to respond.
“Good, but my last line ‘laughing at past like smoke’ is a set phrase. Your last line ‘enjoying leisure here’ doesn’t quite match. So, sir, your couplet is not fully aligned!” Lan Ling’er smiled apologetically, anticipating the hidden person’s reply.
“I knew you were coming! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so casual about life and death! If he hadn’t taken a risk, he wouldn’t have appeared! He wouldn’t want to die; he would only rest after saving Yun’er and Yu Shan.”
“Since it’s fine, come back home with me!”
“Although there was a hint of joy in his heart, he spoke with a stern face.
“What about this brothel?” He would leave, but he couldn’t let the harmful old madam off easily. He had to give her a parting gift.
“Tear it down!” Looking back at the luxurious room, he pulled Lan Ling’er and stepped out of the red house.
Behind them came the old madam’s heart-wrenching scream!
Lan Ling’er turned back and gave the old madam an “apologetic” smile.
“Dong Fang Che, what exactly do you want?” Lan Ling’er frowned, closed her eyes, and called out to him weakly, her hands pulling downward.
“Giving you a little surprise!” This girl hadn’t been spirited all day, truly a disservice to his carefully prepared treasure.
“No! I want to sleep! Sleep!” She was so tired, having not slept for three days and nights. Last night, Dong Fang Che had kept her up.
“Very well, this prince will carry you!” Dong Fang Che smiled and gently held her in his arms. At that moment, Yin Bo approached.
