Xiaoqing stamped her feet in frustration and returned to the house dejectedly. She walked around the house a few times in a state of annoyance, muttering to herself: "Sister, are you really angry with me?..."
"Damn it, if I had known I would make her unhappy, I shouldn't have said such nonsense just now..." Xiaoqing blamed herself secretly in her heart. Suddenly she turned around and rushed to the door - forget it, it would be better to go and apologize!
Xiaoqing was about to go find Bai Suzhen. Just as she hurried to the door, she saw Bai Suzhen, who had just left, coming back! She hurriedly stopped and stepped aside, so she didn't bump into Bai Suzhen.
"Sister, what are you doing..." Xiaoqing looked at Bai Suzhen with some surprise as she brought some food into the house. She followed behind Bai Suzhen, and suddenly asked with some surprise: "Sister, did you go to the kitchen just now?"
Bai Suzhen put the food on the table, looked back at Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "I just went to heat up the food for you, Qing'er, eat something while it's hot."
Xiaoqing asked cautiously: "Sister, you...are not angry with me, right?"
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How could I be angry with you? Okay, Qing'er, sit down and eat."
Xiaoqing felt relieved and finally smiled: "Okay."
"Here." Bai Suzhen handed a pair of bamboo chopsticks to Xiaoqing. Xiaoqing took the chopsticks, picked up some food and ate while saying, "Mm, it's delicious, sister, thank you."
Bai Suzhen smiled, she stared at Xiaoqing, but suddenly fell silent.
"Sister, why aren't you talking?" Seeing Bai Suzhen suddenly silent, Xiaoqing couldn't help but look up and asked her.
"Nothing." Bai Suzhen smiled. Seeing that Xiaoqing had almost finished her meal, she stood up and said to Xiaoqing, "It's getting late, Qing'er. You should go to bed early. I'll leave first."
"Sister—" Xiaoqing stood up hurriedly and pulled Bai Suzhen. She stared at Bai Suzhen and asked anxiously: "—Are you worried about something?"
Bai Suzhen was silent for a moment, then looked up to meet Xiaoqing's gaze and asked softly, "Qing'er, your two sisters are here to look for you. Will you go back to the Dragon Palace with them?"
Xiaoqing nodded and sighed, "We have to go back." It was a pity that she couldn't persuade Mu Yanran, otherwise she would have to cancel the wedding ceremony and she wouldn't have to go back to Dragon Palace.
Xiaoqing didn't notice that Bai Suzhen's expression suddenly became a little strange, and she was just worried in her heart. Mu Yanran agreed to marry Yufeng, which was simply an act of anger. She knew that she just wanted to test Sister Feng, but she couldn't think of any way to stop her. The Jade Emperor personally issued an order to grant the marriage. With her father's personality of obeying the Jade Emperor in everything, he would certainly not allow Yufeng to disobey the order. Even if he knew that the person Mu Yanran liked was not Yufeng, he would probably force Yufeng to marry Mu Yanran. Now, only if Mu Yanran opposed the marriage, it would be possible to persuade the Jade Emperor to revoke his order. However, during the trip to Baihua Valley, she and her second sister had tried their best to persuade them, but to no avail. Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, I really don't know how this farce will end! Oh~
Xiaoqing frowned, feeling very upset, she shook her head and said dejectedly: "I can't persuade Mu Yanran, so I will have to go back to Dragon Palace with my elder and second sisters next month. I don't know how my father and mother would react if they saw me like this." The dignified Third Princess of Dragon Palace has now turned into a little snake demon with only a few hundred years of Taoism practice. It's easy to deal with the queen mother, but I'm afraid my father will be so angry that he will vomit blood!
Bai Suzhen didn't seem to notice what Xiaoqing said. She looked dazed and just asked Xiaoqing in a low voice, "Qing'er, if you go back to Dragon Palace, will you come back?" Before Xiaoqing could reply, she murmured to herself, "You won't come back, Dragon Palace is your home after all. Why do you have to come back to Qiantang?"
Xiaoqing's body trembled, hearing the nervousness and hesitation in Bai Suzhen's tone. She regained her composure, stared at Bai Suzhen intently, and saw the dim and dazed look in Bai Suzhen's eyes. She felt mixed emotions. She slowly held Bai Suzhen's hand, biting her lower lip tightly, and suddenly held Bai Suzhen tightly in her arms. Bai Suzhen's delicate body trembled slightly, but Xiaoqing had waited for a long time, but this time she was not pushed away by the person in her arms. She was suddenly surprised and happy, and even a little bit unbelievable.
"Sister, are you worried about me? Are you afraid that I will leave with my elder sister and second sister and never come back?" Xiaoqing suppressed her joy and asked carefully. She hugged Bai Suzhen but didn't dare to do anything else. However, just by doing so, her heart was already filled with happiness.
"Yeah." After a long time, Bai Suzhen finally responded. She leaned in Xiaoqing's arms, and suddenly stopped resisting. She softened her body and let Xiaoqing hold her tightly. At this moment, she found that she was so attached to the arms of the man in front of her, warm and not weak. She was suddenly afraid of losing this embrace. From the moment she saw the two sisters of the Ao family, her heart began to be uneasy. Yes, she was afraid that Xiaoqing would go back to the Dragon Palace with her two sisters, and she was afraid that she would never see Xiaoqing again. During the day, Xiaoqing suddenly went to Baihua Valley without leaving a word. At that time, she almost lost her composure. In the evening, Ao Qingmei, Bai Fu and others came back, but Xiaoqing was nowhere to be seen. She was anxious. Knowing that Xiaoqing went to the underworld alone, she kept waiting in her room, not just passing by inadvertently as she lied just now. In this room, she recalled a lot and thought a lot alone, and slowly saw her heart clearly. Bai Suzhen was in love with Xiaoqing, and she had fallen into her love without realizing it.
"Qing'er, please don't leave me, okay? Even if you go back to Dragon Palace, please don't never come back, okay?" Bai Suzhen slowly raised her head from Xiaoqing's arms. She looked at Xiaoqing with tenderness in her eyes. "Qing'er, I can't lose you. Please stay with me..."
Xiao Qing stared at Bai Suzhen blankly. For a moment, she couldn't believe what she had just heard. She pursed her lips and asked in a hoarse voice, "Sister, what...what did you say?"
Bai Suzhen reached out and gently stroked Xiaoqing's cheek. Her cheek suddenly turned slightly red, but she repeated word by word clearly: "I said, I want to be with you, with my Qing'er, and no longer care about worldly ethics, no longer care about the difference between men and women—" She paused for a moment, and Bai Suzhen gazed deeply at Xiaoqing, and said emotionally: "I like you, Qing'er."
The author has something to say: I don’t want these two to continue to struggle, so—haha, that’s it.
