Chapter 18 - Clear Water, Flying Sleeves
”Be careful”
A war a little
detached With the sound, a white streak swept forward like a ribbon and
unfurled inFuyao's hand
that was grasping at air instinctively when she realized she was falling
Fuyao's figure was ierous, half
fallen position, forle with the rocks underfoot Not far
underneath was a pool of clear water Her long hair hung down onto the water
surface, with so in the current - it was an unstable,
yet beautiful posture
Because her sleeve was pulled tight, her clothes were
stretched close to her body, revealing those perfectly exquisite hills and
valleys Under her aist her robes scattered, fluttering like a dancing
skirt Even though she earing men's clothes, they still couldn't hide the
natural charure
The visions of the many people by the stream could not help
but fix on her There was a brief atmosphere of silence
In the e's
curtains were suddenly lifted up a hair With a veil covering her face, Pei
Yuan glooure above the clear waters that could be
considered a beauty with only a look Her eyes exuded jealousy-induced
malicious intent
And in the first carriage, a pair of piercingly brilliant eyes
turned, then let out a light ”yi” sound [1]
However, Meng Fuyao herself did not realize that this one
pull had displayed her figure She hurriedly used the strap that was holding
her up, and with a twist of her waist she stood up straight Only then was she
able to take a look at the good Samaritan who had helped her in time
The afternoon autureen shade
Beside the clear strearass were covered by the
scattered rays of sunlight, and becaolden in color
Atop the tips of the grass, a white robe spread It was a warm but distant man,
young, graceful, his lips and pupils slightly paler than most people When he
solden wind suddenly see
breezes and bloo cherry blossoms
Because he had thrown out his waist strap with flying
sleeves, his robes had scattered outward Yet this didn't give one a sense of
inelegance or dishevelinally present aura
of rerees of natural serenity
Meng Fuyao was shocked She thought to herself, did she
recently beco the men she met, toothis, she offered the waist
belt back to its owner
Just when she wanted to say a feords of gratitude,
unexpectedly the other side calmly smiled, then softly said, ”The strap
was already slightly dirty, this lady can feel free to throw it away”
After saying he very politely nodded his head, then turned
and left He got onto a horse carriage behind Qi Xunyi's, and then the carriage
sped off to another side to stop and rest This left Meng Fuyao du
on the rocks, clenching the waist strap with surprise
The strap was clearly coood condition,
so white that even tofu would die of shame, and he actually said it was dirty?
This person's attitude was pretty strange You couldn't say
he was lofty and condescending - his manners were impeccable, he was cultured
and ave the completely inoffensive
excuse of self-respect But you couldn't say he was friendly - he clearly
didn't see the strap she had gripped
like worthless scrap
After Meng Fuyao stared for a half while, she hatefully used
the waist strap to wipe her hands That guy didn't want it anyways!
Only after she wiped her hands and carefully inspected did
she discover, the waist strap was actually made from fabric that weaved Heaven
silkworold strands; in the middle was a
similar-colored mutton fat jade [3] The strap was expensive, yet unostentatious,
just like the man
After thinking a little, Meng Fuyao hid the waist strap in
her robes
Yuan Zhaoxu, previously always off to the side, now popped
out of who-knohere With a strange gaze, he watched Meng Fuyao stuff thatinto her robes After some time he said, ”What
are you doing keeping that thing?”
Fuyao replied like it was obvious ”This thing is worth
a lot, if I keep it, if one day I need clothes or food, I can use it to trade
for living expenses”
Yuan Zhaoxu slightly wrinkled his brows, ”That thing
isn't worth anything, don't keep it If you lack ive it to
you”
”Trying to trickFuyao curled her mouth
”You think I can't see the value of this jade? Also, this girl has a lot
of backbone, I don't accept charity”
Zhaoxu cast a glance at her, then faintly grinned
”Yes, you don't accept charity, you just pick up the junk other people
don't want”
”You!” Meng Fuyao beca her eyes
to see Yuanbao poke its head out fro Fuyao
deflated andwith zhi zhi
sounds non-stop With indignation she used the ”one finger flick”,
flicking Yuanbao, who squeakily protested and opened its mouth wide to bite
Meng Fuyao had long escaped while loudly laughing
After running for a couple steps, past a curve was a patch
of forest shade Not far forwards was Qi Xunyi's contingent Meng Fuyao was
just about to go back, when she heard someone say, ”Hey, you”
Turning her head to look, she saw the servant who had just
pushed her and al this person,
she didn't want to bother with him, but for some reason when this person saw
Meng Fuyao his eyes suddenly lit up, and he beckoned ”Hey, you come
here”
Fuyao started, squinting her eyes to look at him
”Calling for me?”
”Yes, you” The servant was not very polite
”Our ive a
hand”
He saw Meng Fuyao with an expression of aard indecisiveness,
and patiently said, ”We won't ” From his
sleeve he palround
with a ”pa la” sound, he arrogantly said, ”Here, one hundred wen, enough for you to eat at Yanjing's
meat broth shop for half a month” [5]
Meng Fuyao lowered her head, looking at the copper money by
her feet After a while, she s some dust
off of the coins
The servant revealed a pleased expression, handing Meng
Fuyao a copper basin and saying, ”Go, go next to the streaet some
