The night is as deep as ink.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, its pure light shining through the window into the room.
"Hehe, Wenji, your older sister is here..."
After taking a bath and changing into a nightgown, Xi Shi tiptoed onto the covers and eagerly slipped into bed, pulling the little girl into her arms.
Holding the delicate and adorable little girl who looked like a porcelain doll in her arms, and feeling Cai Wenji's soft and fragrant body, Xi Shi looked completely satisfied, her eyebrows arched and her face beaming with smiles.
If possible, Xi Shi would even wish that time could stand still at this moment, never to pass again.
"Wenji, you smell so good!"
Xi Shi looked infatuated, her delicate nose twitching slightly. She took a deep breath of Cai Wenji's body fragrance, her smile somewhat perverse, looking every bit the infatuated woman.
Cai Wenji:…………
The person is still the same, but for some reason, the little girl always feels that the current Xi Shi is a bit scary, and her smile is a bit eerie.
"Wenji, can you tell your sister about your past?"
Xi Shi kissed Cai Wenji on the cheek, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Previously, Cai Wenji had only given a brief account of how she met Jiang Che, and Xi Shi knew nothing about the girl's past.
"OK……"
Cai Wenji's bright eyes darted around, and soon a number of thoughts were forming in her mind.
Xi Shi brought up these things on her own initiative, and Jiang Che took the opportunity to continue the conversation, thus creating a good impression of Jiang Che in Xi Shi's mind.
"Before, Wenji lived a life of constant hunger and hardship, sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain..."
"Things only started to improve after my brother adopted me..."
"My brother is a very gentle person. He dotes on Wenji, is kind-hearted, and has a gentle personality..."
Cai Wenji briefly recounted her past life experiences, and then proceeded to shower her good brother with praise, exaggerating his virtues as if Jiang Che were the best man in the world.
In Cai Wenji's account, Jiang Che has become an exceptionally good man, possessing almost all the virtues of a man, while his shortcomings are never mentioned and are downplayed.
.....................
"Wenji, do you like Jiang Che very much?"
After listening to the little girl's story, Xi Shi suddenly asked a question.
"Uh-huh!"
"Of course Wenji loves her brother!"
"My brother is the best brother in the whole world!"
Cai Wenji nodded her little head eagerly, nestled in Xi Shi's arms, her face full of happiness.
"He really is a very good person..."
Xi Shi smiled gently and couldn't help but lower her head and kiss the little girl on the cheek.
After listening to Cai Wenji's account, Xi Shi's impression of Jiang Che changed drastically. Under the little maid's deliberate guidance, Jiang Che became almost a flawless man in her mind, and her affection for him rose sharply.
Kind-hearted, responsible, easy-going, and very gentle...
Does such a perfect man really exist?
Unable to resist, Xi Shi felt a surge of curiosity about Jiang Che and couldn't help but want to get closer and investigate to see if Jiang Che was really as Cai Wenji had described.
That night, the two beautiful girls, one older and one younger, chatted for a long time before finally falling into a deep sleep in the middle of the night.
………………
Chang'an City, Zhuque Avenue.
Under the hazy moonlight and with the streetlights just coming on, even though it was late at night, Zhuque Street was still bustling with activity.
People came and went in an endless stream, crowds thronged the streets and alleys, and various restaurants and brothels along the roadside were bustling with customers. The owners of the night stalls on the street were energetically hawking their food.
The fireworks in the world touch the hearts of mortals.
After several days of continuous travel, Shao Siyuan and A Yao, who were already somewhat exhausted, felt much of their fatigue dissipate upon seeing this bustling and prosperous scene.
"Xiaoyuan, let's go take a look over there!"
"The wonton noodles there look so delicious!"
Ayao reached out and tugged at Shao Siyuan's skirt, her eyes gazing longingly at a vendor's stall not far away.
His young, innocent face was filled with longing, and he swallowed hard.
After leaving Yunmengze in the Great River Basin, Ayao had been traveling day and night for some time and was already exhausted.
The aroma of various foods in the air completely whetted my appetite.
Although she had long since reached the state of fasting, for a little foodie like her, the temptation of delicious food was simply irresistible, and her little belly even made a series of rumbling sounds.
"it is good……"
"Then let's go take a look!"
Shao Siyuan withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, nodded with a light smile, took A Yao's soft, boneless hand, and headed straight for the stall.
The scenery of the Tang Dynasty is completely different from that of Yunmengze, and the difference is significant.
Although there are occasional markets in Yunmengze, they are nowhere near as bustling and prosperous as Chang'an.
Moreover, the nights in Yunmengze are extremely terrifying. As soon as the sun sets, people return home early, and there is no bustling night market.
Upon arriving in Chang'an for the first time, Shao Siyuan was amazed by the various buildings and magical mechanisms. Her interest was thoroughly piqued, which is why she kept looking around.
Seeing A Yao's adorable little gluttonous look, Shao Siyuan couldn't help but find it amusing.
Having known each other for many years, she certainly knew what kind of person Little Deer Girl was.
I just didn't expect that Ayao's foodie nature would remain unchanged after all these years.
(bfbc) "Boss, two bowls of wonton noodles, please!"
After arriving in front of the vendor, Shao Siyuan found a quiet spot to sit down and called out to the vendor who was still busy at work.
"Okay, come right away!"
The boss responded with a sound, subconsciously turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, then momentarily stunned.
The owner never expected that such a stunningly beautiful woman would patronize his small stall, which made him feel honored.
Before long, two steaming bowls of wonton noodles were placed on Shao Siyuan and A Yao's table.
"Please enjoy your meal, esteemed guests!"
The owner, all smiles, put down the wonton noodles and then went back to work.
The stunning beauty of A Yao and Shao Siyuan had already attracted the attention of the surrounding diners, who were whispering among themselves.
Although they were very tempted, none of the diners dared to approach Shao Siyuan because of the terrifying aura emanating from her.
Even if only the slightest hint is leaked, the powerful aura of a Golden Core cultivator is something that ordinary people cannot withstand.
Shao Siyuan clearly had a knack for dealing with annoying flies, and he exuded a sense of pressure the moment he sat down.
"Suck it!"
"Mmm, so delicious!"
"Xiao Yuan, Lu Kuai, try this... It's really good!"
Ayao's cherry-like lips were slightly parted, her head slightly lowered, as she struggled with the wonton noodles in her bowl, mumbling something indistinctly.
"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you..."
Seeing the little deer girl's somewhat comical appearance, Shao Siyuan couldn't help but laugh and cry. He poured some vinegar from a bowl and plate and then slowly began to taste it.
Her elegant demeanor and graceful bearing exuded the poise and refinement of a well-bred lady, making even her meal a delight to behold.
.....................
"Hiccup~"
After finishing a whole bowl of wonton noodles, Ayao patted her lower abdomen with a satisfied look on her face, her eyes slightly narrowed, and asked in a lazy tone.
"Xiao Yuan, we've already entered Chang'an..."
"Are you now certain of the identity of that destined person?"
Because of a baseless and uncertain prophecy, A Yao accompanied Shao Siyuan on a long and arduous journey, traversing two states and three regions to reach Chang'an.
Now that she has arrived in Chang'an, she naturally wants to find out more information about that so-called "destined person".
"I can't be sure..."
"However, I can sense that he is in Chang'an..."
"If I saw him in person, I would definitely recognize him!"
Shao Siyuan shook her head slightly and spoke with a serious expression.
Ayao:…………
"Has your love-seeking magic stopped working?"
"Otherwise, why can't we confirm his identity?"
Ayao couldn't help but ask, knowing full well the power of Shao Siyuan's Fate-Seeking Technique.
Now that they have arrived in Chang'an, they still cannot confirm the identity of the so-called destined person, and A Yao cannot help but feel suspicious.
"It didn't fail; on the contrary, this time the prayer for a partner was more accurate than ever before!"
"However, because his fate is unique, it's impossible to determine..."
Shao Siyuan shook his head again and explained a few words to Xiaolu Nu.
Before A Yao could say anything, Shao Siyuan smiled gently and continued.
Those who are destined to meet will meet.
Fate is always incredibly mysterious and elusive...
"We are destined to meet, and we will meet again sooner or later, so why rush it?"
