âIs it really alright for you to expose my gender just like this?â Feng Longâs hypnotic voice came from the direction of the window the moment Jun Xin entered the room.
âThereâs really a good wind blowing today. You guys were blown back here one after another.â Although Jun Xin said this, he didnât seem surprised to see Feng Long and sat down at the table to have a cup of tea. After calming down a little, he said, âBaili Yu has probably taken Tang Doudou to Azure Water Valley. He had mentioned when he got back that Cang Baicao was the one who restored his memories.â
Feng Long stayed outside the window. âIs this Master really Master?â
âThereâs no mistake.â Jun Xin drank another cup of tea. Suddenly, he felt that it was really tasteless. How long had it been since he had drunk alcohol? He could barely remember the taste of it now. âDo you have wine?â
n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Feng Long smiled. She untied the wine pouch from her waist and tossed it to him. âYou only drink alcohol when youâre in a good mood, or in a bad mood. Let me guess whether youâre in a good mood today or a bad moodâ¦â
âThereâs no need to guess. Iâm in a bad mood.â Jun Xin pulled out the stopper and took a swig, then rested his head on the table. âFeng Long, say, what is it about me thatâs not good?â
âYouâre very good.â Feng Long gave a very definite reply.
Jun Xin sighed. âHaha, youâre right. Iâm very good, but why doesnât she like me?â
âLike, probably isnât something that can be forced.â Feng Longâs strange eyes turned in his direction. She moved slightly, but didnât enter the room. Instead, she untied the other jug of wine from her waist and took a sip. âDonât you miss how it used to be back then?â
Jun Xin stiffened, then sighed. âWhatâs the use in missing it? Whatâs over is over.â
âYun Hai, heâ¦â
âItâs probably because he feels hatred! Baili Yu keeps delaying things and refusing to make a move, so he had no choice but to look for someone else. In the end, Yun Hai isnât the same as us.â When Yun Hai was mentioned, Jun Xinâs eyes filled with irritation. âBut how could he be so heartless! It took me so much resolve back then to go to God Firmament Hall, but in the end, I still hadnât been able to bring myself to betraying our years of friendship.â
âAs youâve said, heâs different from us.â
âCould it be that youâve never thought aboutâ¦â
âJun Xin, Iâm different from you guys as well.â Feng Long interrupted Jun Xinâs words. As she gazed up at the moon, her gaze softened. âYouâre Masterâs junior brother. Yun Hai had chosen of his own accord to support Master, but I was someone Master picked up and brought back.
âIâm grateful to Master, so I decided a long time ago that my life belonged to him. No matter what you guys do, I wonât betray Master. No matter what decision Master makes, Iâll still obey him.â
âSo actually, youâre the one whoâs the most loyal.â Jun Xin laughed. Now that he thought about it, he had come back so that Baili Yu could protect Tang Doudou. Everything he did after had been for this purpose as well. Sometimes he would question himself. Had he forgotten about revenge? Had he forgotten what he needed to do?
âItâs just that I believe Master wonât let us down. I can wait.â Feng Longâs mild voice was like the gentle autumn wind.
That sentence made Jun Xinâs heart move slightly. He looked over towards Feng Long, only to find that she had actually been looking at him this entire time. A strange thought started to form, but he immediately pushed it aside. âI want to pay a visit to Azure Water Valley.â
âEn, Iâll help you.â
They had known each other for many years, so there was no need for much words for them to understand what each other was thinking. Feng Long concealed the faint light in her eyes and put her jug of wine away. âSince youâve decided to go take a look, you should rest up for the trip. Yun Haiâs probably too busy dealing with the Alliance Head Residence to pay attention to us right now. Other than hatred, he also has ambition. He really is quite different from us.â
Jun Xin nodded. âAlright. You should go rest early as well.â
Feng Long was about to leave when Jun Xin stopped her and said, âBaili Yiling is a good lady.â
Feng Long burst out laughing as she glanced over. âJun Xin, when did you learn to play matchmaker? You shouldnât forget that Iâm a lady as well!â
Jun Xin was annoyed. This wasnât what he meant, alright?
He threw the jug of wine towards Feng Long, then walked to the window. âI know that youâre both ladies, thatâs why Iâm reminding you not to tease her. The word âemotionâ can hurt.â
âThe word âemotionâ can hurt?â Feng Long sighed. âWho wouldâve thought that the great Young Master Jun would now know that the word âemotionâ can hurt?â
After she said that, she disappeared into the night like a phantom. However, that sentence seemed to wound itself around Jun Xinâs heart and would not disperse.
