… Walking closer, she could hear the sounds of laughter.

Xiao Kuning felt she had no habit of eavesdropping and quickened her pace into the room.

After lighting the lamp, she washed up and then lay down on the bed. Her mind still revolved around Shen Rui’s words—first, urging her to wait no matter what, and then saying she would send a wedding gift if she found someone she loved. What a contradictory statement.

The kindness in this life’s Shen Rui was still present. Xiao Kuning hoped she could maintain her true self and not change.

It was a pity and helpless. She was not a person like Xie Yu, who was demonically clever and held great power. Xie Yu’s literary talent, social etiquette, and even her political strategy, which allowed her to control the court, were all things she could not learn.

What could she do now?

She could only gather information for Shen Rui in this man-eating city of Chang’an. The Prince of Zhennan could not be wrongly accused, and Shen Rui should return safely.

Her mind was a tangled mess. She drifted off to sleep wrapped in her blanket.

Suddenly, a clap of thunder woke her up. In the darkness, a pair of clear, bright eyes appeared, and the alabaster skin was luminous like snow.

Xie Yu saw her startle and sit up. She sat on the edge of the bed and kindly said, “Jiejie (Sister), are you afraid of thunder?”

A chill ran down Xiao Kuning’s spine. She was afraid of being strangled by Xie Yu in the middle of the night. She swallowed hard: “Why are you here instead of sleeping?”

Xie Yu pointed a long, slender index finger outside. Just as a bolt of lightning flashed, her entire body trembled and shrank back. Yet, her voice was firm: “Jiejie is afraid of the thunder. I came to keep Jiejie company.”
