Dong Huiying staggered, almost taking a spectacular spill.
Dong Huiying ran as if her butt was on fire, the muddiness of this world was damn terrifying, and her little heart couldn’t take much more.
After a long while, Dong Huiying hid in an alley, finally shaking off Tie Hailan. She was panting heavily, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.
It seemed dressing as a man was not such a smart move after all, easily attracting perverts!
Liang Shujun was on her way home, passing the alley, initially thinking she had seen wrong, but upon a closer look, it indeed was Dong Huiying. She held a conical hat, looking a tad taller than usual?
And what she wore, seemed to be her own clothes?
Dong Huiying felt a moment of embarrassment, "Cough!"
She tried to untie the band holding up her hair, but after fiddling for an eternity, nearly tore off her scalp.
Shujun held her arm, then fiddled a bit with it, and released it with ease.
With her long hair cascading down, Dong Huiying straightened it gently, then sneaked a glance at him, feeling strangely sheepish, her heartbeat seemingly quickening.
Shujun stepped back, examining her with satisfaction.
She felt her cheeks heat up, becoming even more uncomfortable.
"Come on, I’m sleepy, let’s go home fast!"
Shujun appeared amused. He was curious about why she had come back after leaving; hadn’t she returned to the village already? And her getup tonight was peculiar, if she put on the conical hat, she resembled a young boy.
Dong Huiying stepped forward, then stopped dead in her tracks. She turned around fiercely, "Stop staring at me constantly!"
She was so uncomfortable she couldn’t even walk straight anymore.
With an ’it’s-not-my-fault’ expression, Shujun said, "It’s because you are too beautiful!"
Really, what a blatant truth to blurt out!
Outside Tianxiang Tower, He Su looked lost and disconsolate.
Tie Hailan was also in a fouled mood, she had a particular liking for small-sized youths, and just now at Sky Blue Building, she encountered one, with small, smooth, and fair hands peeking out of the sleeves, slim and petite, just to her liking.
Unfortunately, the little cutie got scared and ran off in a panic.
Tie Hailan felt quite disheartened, particularly when she saw He Su’s resentful, deadpan face, her annoyance compounded.
He Su came back to his senses, forcing some spirit, "Let’s go, have a drink with me."
Tie Hailan was quite friendly with He Su and knew some of his private matters that others didn’t. She patted He Su’s shoulder, "Why worry about finding good grass on earth? I also saw Phoenix Blood just now. Yes, he looks good, but that’s about it. Why be so fixated on him, hanging yourself on this one tree?"
He Su smiled bitterly, "You don’t understand, it’s not that simple."
"How do I not understand?"
Tie Hailan raised her eyebrows, "With men, if you fancy one, you seize the moment and act. If it weren’t for all your hesitation and overthinking, maybe Phoenix Blood would already be yours, and you wouldn’t be entangled ."
"He..." He Su’s expression was complex, "His family already has a fiancée for him. I made a mistake once, and for me now, as long as I know he is doing well, that is enough."
"Stop saying things against your heart, but you are right, he already has a fiancée, you can’t force things. What matters is that you can’t bear to."
