Travel To The World Of Ca Li
The Last Person I Dated?
"You're alone? In a place like this..," In the final sentence, his tone grew increasingly skeptical, Xiu Qixuan stepped her feet through every corner of the room inside the cold palace building that was so isolated from the outside world.
He stopped when he saw a perforated roof ceiling full of damp moss, rain water seeping down flowing on the wall, making the floor become muddy by the puddle. This cold palace that was more like an unkempt dilapidated shack was truly terrifying to leave behind, especially for a prince who still had the blue blood of the imperial family flowing within him.
A rude snort escaped Xiu Qixuan's mouth muttering. "It's outrageous."
Xiu Qixuan could not help but pity Shen Yuan Zi who was filled with so much fear and suffering since the beginning of her lifetime. Spending his years isolated in this place, it was only natural that if he had a slight retardation, he managed to survive until entering adulthood alone was a miracle.
Among all the princes, Shen Yuan Zi received such a different treatment. When princes throughout their lives are loved and bathed by pride. Shen Yuan Zi was contaminated by her own survival and death.
But the person we're worried about doesn't seem to hear. Shen Yuan Zi seemed busy looking for something, she ended up taking her thin coat and ran over to Xiu Qixuan.
Raising both eyebrows, Xiu Qixuan only put on a questionable expression when she saw Shen Yuan Zi's hand raised in front of her thrusting the dull-looking coat.
Shen Yuan Zi slightly lowered her head, and said slowly. "I don't have anything.., But Qixuan can use this to wipe out the water." He looked embarrassed when he mentioned the material flaws he had.
"Huh?" Xiu Qixuan tilted her face, bewildered by the word selection that Shen Yuan Zi used.
However, he instantly understood when Shen Yuan Zi looked up and stared fixedly at the strands of her long hair as well as her clothes that were limp from being hit by the raindrops outside.
"Oh, thanks!" Taking the coat to wipe his hair and face, Xiu Qixuan unceremoniously sat down on one of the wooden planks.
The wind roared loudly and the rain was still rushing, Xiu Qixuan's eyes unintentionally catching the glare reflection from the plastic wrap that was hit by the small light of a lantern lamp on a table.
"You don't like fruit candy?" Xiu Qixuan asked a guessing question.
It was a fruit candy that he had given at the time of disguise. Oh, Xiu Qixuan had only thought that Shen Yuan Zi did not like sweets or that this man was only wary of giving others a timid gift that was poisonous.
Shen Yuan Zi, who had been watching Xiu Qixuan, replied. "Like! Ah, no, I mean..." He shook his head in full twinkle, "Very much like~" he added.
This looks very contrasting when Xiu Qixuan only responds flat with low murmur. "Oh, it's weird when you like a food but don't actually eat it." His words released the formality sentence that he had been using since.
A faint smile on Shen Yuan Zi's charming face, this man became gloomy as he said. "Do I have to eat it? But, it's gonna run out of nothing, right." He reacted as if he would be greatly lost if he did so.
"Stupid..., why sad? If you want candy. I just give it to you every day, all right, right?" Xiu Qixuan chanted it without even thinking.
Like getting an addiction of unexpected excitement, Shen Yuan Zi looked up by putting up a twinkle that was so carefree. "really? Then I can see Qixuan every day to get candy." Legally.
Shen Yuan Zi's face turned disappointed. "Will it take a long time and be so heavy? Your work..," He asked. He looked up as he looked at the girl in a sitting position with his legs crossed on the floor right in front of Xiu Qixuan who was on the wooden board. It looks like a bad boy who is being punished for quietly listening to the mother's lecture. A position that really causes a tickling feeling!
Quickly Xiu Qixuan nodded and slightly lowered her head looking back at Shen Yuan Zi, "Yes. That was very difficult. I must arrange my defeat to not get married." His words so open.
Shen Yuan Zi frowned, not understanding. "Why must you lose in order not to get married?" Ask.
"Because I just don't want to get married." Xiu Qixuan responded briefly. Somehow he had difficulty communicating with Shen Yuan Zi. So it's true considering Rui Jizhang's remark that this man is really stupid.
"Why doesn't Qixuan want to get married?" Shen Yuan Zi asked innocently.
Xiu Qixuan patted her own eel, she sighed a beard. "Hey, Shen Yuan Zi!" Putting the mantle that was on his arm onto the back of the board, Xiu Qixuan immediately crossed both arms giving off a proud arrogance while looking sharply down. "Let this brother tell you!" His word.
"Everyone has the right to decide what to do in the face of true love. Everyone has the right to make a choice, just like everyone who deserves to feel love in marriage. And, I'm not sure about that." There was a pause in his straightforward words as his tone shrank and a quivering incision rang out, "...I'm not sure if I get elected and married, if I can sincerely love my husband later." He chuckled and shook his arm in embarrassment when he realized he had said too much, "Forget it! You must not understand."
It was shocking when Shen Yuan Zi just fell silent and looked at Xiu Qixuan so closely. But it turned out that this man did not give up on asking, "I understand. However, why couldn't Qixuan love Qixuan's husband?"
Snarl. Xiu Qixuan felt anxious to get angry but also wanted to laugh, she could not help but pierce Shen Yuan Zi's cheek with her fingers.
Warm, he must be human.
"You said as if I already had a husband, you know!" Little chuckles. Then Xiu Qixuan answered Shen Yuan Zi's question so casually putting her shoulder around, "There's no excuse. Maybe because the last guy I dated didn't go well. We, um, kind of broke each other's hearts. And, I can't just love someone else right away, can I."
After saying that, Xiu Qixuan moved from her seat. "I'll be back now. Thank you for welcoming me to your place." He slowly stepped up to leave, his feet stopping at the doorway as he turned his head to look at Shen Yuan Zi to say. "Candy for you will be in between tomorrow. Eat without fear of not having it anymore. I'm leaving!" Waving his hand and disappearing behind the door.
Xiu Qixuan did not know that his words greatly affected Shen Yuan Zi. The lowered face that the man was hiding was worsened by the serious drooping gloom. Shen Yuan Zi remembered it, Shen Yuan Zi recalled the person meant by Xiu Qixuan, the southern man who was the girl's lover, the girl's much-loved man. And. maybe even to this day.
He recalled because he played an active role in the damage suffered by them. But, Shen Yuan Zi who as a human did not feel the slightest regret of doing so much damage, she was even very grateful now to Mozi who was doing it at that time. Cruel? of course not, he just wanted to pull Xiu Qixuan into his life, whether it was in a good way or full of bad obsession.
