"Fine, I’d like to see what kind of witchcraft you’re up to."
Bai Junjun agreed readily.
Watching Bai Junjun head out with him, Bai Sasa felt somewhat nervous, and even Ah Dao’s eyes showed a hint of disapproval.
"Don’t worry, if something happens to me, just go find Yuwen Luanfei and tell him that Yuwen Jun has come to the Imperial Capital and that he’s taken me away."
"!!!" Bai Sasa seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
In the end, Yuwen Jun couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile.
Having not seen her for a long time, the young miss had become more feisty, but also more charming.
Bai Junjun just happened to see his sly smile and frowned unhappily, "Watch your image, please. If you really can’t control your expression, then put on a mask or something, so I won’t have to see your sleazy face."
And so, Bai Junjun went out with Yuwen Jun.
Yuwen Jun led her to the riverside, where there was a brightly lit and beautiful boat.
Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow, "The Imperial Capital is under curfew, aren’t you afraid that the guards will see this blatant boat of yours and arrest you?"
"It would be worth being arrested for you."
Upon hearing this, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly. If it weren’t for her good temper, Yuwen Jun might have died a hundred times by now.
Bai Junjun held back her anger, "You’d better save those sweet nothings, or don’t blame me for being impolite."
"These aren’t sweet nothings," Yuwen Jun’s expression was a bit hurt, "These are words from the bottom of my heart."
"..." Bai Junjun couldn’t help but give him a sidelong glance.
Yuwen Jun, receiving the young miss’s warning look, quickly pleaded, "Alright, alright, I get it. From now on, I’ll watch my words, and I’ll make sure you return as happy as you came tonight."
With that, Yuwen Jun gestured for her to join him, and thus the two of them boarded the boat.
This was clearly a pleasure boat, and somehow Yuwen Jun had managed to empty the place, leaving just the two of them in the large cabin.
Moreover, food and drinks were already prepared in the cabin, and after they came onboard, the boat slowly started moving.
In the past, the night view of the Imperial Capital was beautiful, mainly because there were no wars then.
Ever since the war started, night views could only be enjoyed during festivals, when the entire city was brilliantly lit.
On an ordinary night like tonight, after the nine o’clock curfew, everyone had to stay indoors, and the scenery on the river was quite dull.
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Bai Junjun pursed her lips out of boredom, picking up a piece of pastry and muttering, "I thought it was some grand and beautiful scene. Turns out it’s nothing special."
Yuwen Jun laughed upon hearing this, "If you like, in the future I’ll let you witness the grandeur of prosperity with your own eyes. We can then drift on this lake again, admiring the hustle and bustle of the world together."
"Forget about it," Bai Junjun glanced at him, "Can’t I come see it myself? Why would I need an invitation from you?"
Since when had the young miss become so good at retorts?
No, that’s not right. The young miss had always been good at retorts; it just used to be someone else other than him.
Yuwen Jun sighed, "You’re right to resent me. After all, I wasn’t there when you needed me the most."
Bai Junjun raised an eyebrow, "Is that what you think?"
Yuwen Jun nodded seriously, "From today on, I’ll never leave you again, be it danger or safety, I’ll stay by your side."
"..." Bai Junjun tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Yuwen Jun, I think you’ve got something wrong."
