Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Sketch of a Shaken Face!: Wen Liu
Returning to his own room, Xiu Qixuan sat down lethargicly by massaging his temple slowly.
He opened the document sheet that was sent simultaneously with the previous letter from Xiu Huanran.
His face looked solemnly staring at the identification sheet containing the fake identity prepared to exit and enter the imperial city.
'Help..' He sighed immediately slumping his head on the table.
Today was long and exhausting. It drains a lot of emotion and energy. So many things happen at the same time. Until he was confused to set his mood that felt erratic.
His head also felt dizzy from so much thinking and accommodating all the shocking new information.
He closed his eyes which felt heavy withstanding drowsiness.
'Tock.tokk..' Suddenly the noise of knocking on the door made him jerk up.
"Miss, this is Xiao Rou!" The voice of Xiao Rou who called out to him softly rang out after the sound of knocking on the door of the room.
'En..' Xiu Qixuan simply cleared her throat lazily without budging even a bit with her eyes still dimming. "Come in." he said.
The door opened with the sound of light footsteps slowly approaching.
Seeing Xiu Qixuan's faint form that was like she was dying from exhaustion, Xiao Rou developed a thin smile then immediately took the black embroidered scarf from the hanging chamber and placed it on Xiu Qixuan's shoulder gently.
"It seems I need to re-prepare more meat stuffing in today's dinner for my hard-working Miss."
Xiao Rou said with a light mockery to tease the superior.
Xiu Qixuan was still in the consciousness to hear. His eyes were still closed as he muttered back by raising his thumb to form a compliment, "Hoho... My Xiao Rou, is indeed the best. I understand the world the most."
"Of course, I always remember the advice in your words. 'Life is simple. As long as the stomach is full it will feel happy.' Isn't that right, miss?" Xiao Rou said proudly mimicking the tone of voice as well as Xiu Qixuan's signature gesture when reasoned regarding her pleasure.
Xiu Qixuan opened her eyelids and immediately chuckled lightly at Xiao Rou who was still standing beside the left of the table.
Xiao Rou never changed, he was one of the people who gave a deep impression on the journey of a Xiu Qixuan.
Compared to calling her a servant, this girl looked more like an understanding friend.
Although since two years ago Xiu Qixuan has limited space for others. However, Xiao Rou was so skilled at being able to adjust to all those changes.
"Hoho.. How great is your guts." Xiu Qixuan replied with a light laugh.
"As great as you taught me." Xiao Rou replied with a sweet smile.
Xiu Qixuan smirked happily.
Xiao Rou's intelligence was sparkling his tongue, not if interpreted as the meaning of the words was Xiu Qixuan who taught all things and shaped his personality.
"Aiyaa, I almost forgot something." Xiao Rou's voice rang out again with a surprised trembling tone.
Xiu Qixuan frowned to say skeptically, "Is that something important to leave behind?"
"Yes, that's the request you left me before going to complete the mission." Xiao Rou replied with a serious twitch.
Ah, if that was his request to be completed by Xiao Rou.
Could it...
"This is the face painting of Madame Wen Liu that I got."
Xiao Rou's outstretched hand gave a roll of cloth that formed a simple canvas.
Xiu Qixuan's eyes blinked for a moment. His face froze faintly as he immediately straightened his back and received an object that carved the look of a foreign woman he might never meet in this life.
Before going to enter the palace of the Northern Xia Empire. Xiu Qixuan gave a special task and only Xiao Rou was the most appropriate person to handle the request.
Namely, look for and get immediately a painting of Wen Liu's shape and face because he wants to recognize all those who have a relationship with Qiaofeng's life.
Xiu Qixuan raised her quivering gaze to stare at Xiao Rou's bead of eyes. He was not so curious to immediately open the canvas scroll, instead he suddenly asked another topic. "How are things outside?"
"Sisa the chaos is almost entirely settled by each member on duty." Xiao Rou replied smiling understandingly.
Judging from the uncomfortable frown reaction on the beautiful face of Xiu Qixuan. The so sensitive Xiao Rou of course clearly realized that Xiu Qixuan wanted calmness by being left alone to look at the image of someone inside the painting.
"Then I'll leave to prepare your dinner immediately."
Quickly Xiao Rou bowed respectfully and turned away.
Door closes. Immediately the silence that enveloped within the room felt desolate and cold.
Xiu Qixuan's eyes seemed to twitch doubtfully. His fingers slowly unrolled the red rope that tied the canvas.
'Sret..'
Immediately the canvas opens and displays the figure of a beautiful woman who is sitting gracefully on a peach tree accompanied by the warm spring sun that shines around its beauty.
The refined and dignified impression looks so prominent from his figure.
Xiu Qixuan frowned with her sharp narrowed eyes.
Ah, how is this? It seemed like the figure of a modern and lay girl was still inherent in Xiu Qixuan.
He could not recognize a person just from a painting that he thought was a little ambiguous. But, the familiar impression so arises when looking at the painting of the figure of Wen Liu.
His fingers stretched out to reach for the cloth canvas.
'Srek..'
Suddenly the folds of paper dropped from the inside of the canvas. Xiu Qixuan immediately grabbed to look at the contents. It was a more detailed picture of a woman's face.
Xiao Rou painted back for him. He knew that the lady was too ordinary to recognize and understand a picture.
"Oh, Xiao Rou is the most understanding." Xiu Qixuan muttered full of twinkle.
The face of Wen Liu that the details depicted by Xiao Rou looked so beautiful and beautiful.
A soft jaw line with a pair of beads framed by pliable eyelashes. Its eyebrows form a parallel arch of the crescent moon.
And, her tiny nose and thin lips are beautifully cut. The smile of happiness in his face looked like a puddle of autumn rain. So bright and warm.
Waita minute....
Xiu Qixuan's shriveled forehead tightened even more tightly. This face sketch looks familiar, where he met, huh?
'Hikk...'
Xiu Qixuan was shocked to the point of turning a sinister turn. He threw the rough paper with a sketch of Wen Liu's face on the table.
As if he had just seen a ghost shake, he was so shaken.
'Mama, that was my face when I was young, right?!' his inner.
Clearly, she still remembered her mama's ever-noisy face when she was so proud to show her dating photos of her youth.
At this moment, Xiu Qixuan's mind seemed to be unusable. His mentality is shaken.
His eyes were faintly misty when he saw the face he had longed for so much. He wants to go home!
