Chapter 285 - 243: The Shaking Crystal Palace_2
"Yunrou, you sit here." He took off his outer garment, spread it on the tree branch, and sat down on one side.
Yunrou’s heart warmed at this, thinking to herself that Xuan really is not like ordinary men. Once she sat down, she realized that the view here was exceptional. The views of most of the academy, the market outside, and the lights within miles were all within her sight.
As Yunrou was looking into the distance, Li Xuan looked up at the sky. The night was dark and windy, the surroundings pitch black, and no one was paying attention to this place. Thinking it was the perfect time for heroes to demonstrate their might, he silently moved his buttocks closer to the girl until he was less than a finger away: "Yunrou, do you still remember when we first met?"
"Yes, it was at Duke Xuguo’s residence."
Xue Yunrou noticed Li Xuan’s little action but pretended not to know: "I remember that day, the weather was just like this. Back then, you had no eyes for me and penned a poem for my cousin — ’clouds want to dress, flowers want to look beautiful,’ didn’t you?"
Li Xuan gave an awkward smile and then, without any different expression, put one arm around Xue Yunrou’s waist: "At that time, you were a fallen fairy in my eyes, so beautiful that I could only admire and couldn’t touch you. I would never have thought that one day, I, Li Xuan, could be favored by a fairy and embrace such a beautiful woman."
Xue Yunrou grunted with annoyance and gave him a stare. Then she felt the warmth of Li Xuan’s large hand and the gradually increasing strength. Her pretty face turned red, and as she twiddled with her hair, she looked elsewhere, pretending not to notice Li Xuan’s attempts to pull her into his arms and skillfully resisted his pull.
Seeing this, Li Xuan knew that he would have to put in more effort. Capturing this crafty little fox was not going to be easy.
He then sighed: "Yunrou, do you know? I still feel like I’m dreaming, afraid that this is an illusion created by Luo Yan, and that you and everything else are just illusions."
