In the morning An was still faithfully lying on the bed without any movement, until a hard blow at the door had to make him to get up.
"Yes! wakeup! don't laze around, let's help us get it done!" nuan shouted from behind the door.
"luck.noisy.." An slowly opened his eyes, and it flashed across his mind the face of a 'brother' of the owner of the body he was occupying.
why do I feel guilty? it's not my fault though, his sister died before I entered his body.’
"so loud whiny." muttered An, he was then pensive, and when his eyes again wanted to close, Nuan shouted and foiled his intention to sleep again.
"AN! If you don't help me, I'll spend your breakfast!"
"essential woman!" reply An while hurrying to go to the bath.
When he finished, An immediately went down to the kitchen to make sure if his breakfast was still available, he approached the wooden table and took a tray containing food.
Jie sees An waving to take her to breakfast together, when they finish cleaning the dishes in turn and get back to work.
"sister.do you know about a man named Chyou Wu?" ask An while cleaning the table.
"Chyou Wu? ah.. He was the first son of the Wu family, one of the family that became the pillar of the Empire, a young general who had many achievements, and was handsome I guess?" obviously Jie.
"what does it mean 'one of the pillars of the Empire'?"
Jie closed his notebook, sat down in front of An and began to tell him about the Empire.
"so.. This empire stands because of the strength of the 6 families who have been hereditary devoted to the previous emperor, ranging from Xie, Wu, Jiang, Liu, Li, and Huang. And Chyou Wu is the 9th generation son of the Wu family who is the second pillar of the Empire's support."
An changed his washcloth and re- summarized the contents of the story told by Jie.
"He is also respected for being an outstanding child in the Empire's best Academy, becoming the youngest military general, and is the first boy to lead his family after 3 generations of being led by women. Don't you?" continued An, Jie nodded and wanted to go to check on the other servants' duties.
"then the look is good?"
"well. as far as I am." Jie replied flatly.
"why so?"
Jie touched An's forehead so hard that she grimaced, "hey why are you touching me?"
"i'm lazy to talk about that, you can ask the others as long as it's not the guy." Jie finally stood up and left in a hurry from there.
As An stroked his forehead, he accidentally saw Jie's ears red as fresh tomatoes.
"ah.. 'cause that's it?" the girl laughed amusedly.
No time passed, the morning was replaced by night, even so Chengse City was still filled with people's activities.
"when it's midnight soon, don't they need to sleep?" An muttered interruptedly walking past everyone, he used a red robe and his fox mask.
After a hard struggle to hold all the sounds that entered his ears, he finally arrived and entered the night market area, There was not too crowded, and arguably too quiet for a market.
Right in front of the auction shop yesterday, a handsome man in black robes was leaning against the wall staring at the floor, before long he raised his head and a small smile appeared at the corner of the man's lips.
"it's good to see you again." said Chyou as he walked closer.
"have you been waiting for me for a long time?"
"no, I just got there too" Chyou opened his robe and the handsome face started to attract the attention of many people.
"uh..so? oh yes, you should not have to open your cloak.I do not like to be the attention of people." exclaimed An uncomfortable with whispers and curious gazes fixed on them, the man seemed to show that he was meeting someone.
"alright.sorry yes.." muttered Chyou with his head bowed.
my instinct says he was standing here 30 minutes early, well, it doesn't matter if he wants.' Inner An, he then invites Chyou in and chat in the tavern, the shabby tavern, the shabby tavern, almost collapsed, worn out, and very ash ash.
An glanced at the man beside him, hoping that he would feel uncomfortable and leave immediately, he was a noble who had high degrees, and he was too tall to sit in a place like this right?'
But.. Unexpectedly, Chyou even did not care and immediately chose a table for them to sit on, An had felt surprised because Chyou did not mind this place, or because he knew 'what place' this?
"i know you don't like to mince words, so Miss. will you come with me to the Wu residence?" ask Chyou seriously.
An did not answer his question and instead ordered a drink to the waiter, "you don't even know my name, how can you ask me to come directly with you, foreign man?" the affirmation at the end of his sentence made Chyou feel bad and too rushed.
"ah.. forgive me. I'm too in a hurry for this.. Then may I know your name Miss?" he rubbed his forehead rough.
what the hell am I doing? why am I so hasty just for a girl who looks like her? whereas when I 'know it' I didn't act like this.'
"you can call me An, young master.."
"oh? I thought you'd be glad I called you that"
"it's too stiff and it sucks."
The originally awkward atmosphere, became even more awkward. "yes yes, I'll just call you Youyo."
"Youy?" Chyou tilted his head.
"yes, that's a call. I'm not comfortable calling you Chyou."
The man was stunned and nodded his head in agreement, before long the waiter came to deliver their drinks and the introductory stage was completed.
"so back to the point of the conversation, you want me to come with you just because it's your sister's 'former' body?"
"yes. " said the man slowly
"what if I reject you Youyo?"
"you have a right to it, but I hope that you think about it before you immediately make a firm refusal."
"hm. You know that I'm a traveler, right? do you know what that means?"
"of course I know, I'm not gonna take that away from you. Because going back to the beginning, it's your right."
An smiled and sipped his drink, "what would you give me if I followed your wishes?"
Chyou's originally dark face, now began to show a bright light, "Surely I will give you a cage, a board and food, money and everything you need." Chyou sumringah replied.
look at him, he was immediately overjoyed just because I gave him a wish.'
"are you still going to give me everything I want even if I make a lot of trouble?"
"depends on how much trouble you're having. "
"what if it's a big problem?" He stretched out his arms and formed a large circle.
"i'll ask you why you did it, if it's worth it I'll let it." Chyou still raised his lips up.
An chuckled with a male answer in front of him, as if he would do anything to bring him to the Wu family residence.
"what...if anyone bothers me while I'm there?"
"i'll protect you."
"... What if the 'people close' to you are the ones who bother me? are you going to keep defending me from this stranger?"
Chyou became silent when An asked that, how?'
"i will defend the man who is to be defended, and I will punish the guilty for his actions." There is no doubt that his 'Young general' is not a figment.
At that moment, An laughed loudly until he made other customers look at them, "what?" said Chyou astonished.
An got up from his chair and turned away, Chyou who saw that could only bow and mutter something, "it turned out hard.."
"Wuca Shop, 7 days left.."
Chyou raised his head in disbelief.
"don't overdo things and attract attention, I really don't like crowds. And. If I ever find out you're investigating or watching my movements, at that very moment this deal will end." An then leaves Chyou without seeing him back.
It was a pity because at that time An did not turn his head, because there was a red face that was pleasing to the eye for a lover of handsome people's faces.
