These were far more important to her than romantic love between men and women.
But what if, after everything was settled, and the world was peaceful?
Bai Qingyan had never thought about it before.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming urgently from Yue Shi’s group after they finished packing, Bai Qingyan pushed Xiao Rongyan away, cleared her throat, and straightened her clothes. She couldn’t help but glance at the wrinkled spot on Xiao Rongyan’s chest caused by her grip. She formally bowed to Xiao Rongyan, "Take care, Mr. Xiao."
Seeing Bai Qingyan about to leave, Xiao Rongyan took a step forward, grabbed her slender wrist, and pulled her back behind the wall. His distinct hand bones pressed against the wall of Qing Temple’s courtyard as he lowered his head to ask, "Wanna bet?"
Just as Bai Qingyan was about to speak, she heard Bai Jinzhi’s voice...
"Huh? Where did the eldest young lady go? Wasn’t she supposed to meet Mr. Xiao? Hey... that girl running ahead, is she called Yue Shi? Where are your Mr. Xiao and our eldest young lady?!"
Bai Qingyan shivered, quickly ducked under Xiao Rongyan’s arm, and emerged from the corner holding a whip.
"Little Four!" Bai Qingyan called out.
Hearing Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinzhi happily ran up to her and grabbed her arm. "Eldest young lady, Nanny Jiang has made osmanthus yam. Grandmother asked Nanny Jiang to call you to try it. I was worried Nanny Jiang would see you with Mr. Xiao, so I told her you were cooling off in the backyard. I came to inform you, eldest young lady, so please don’t let it slip."
