Chu Qing-Yan had no time to ponder over that fragrance. She only felt that this person was really overbearing and rude. She quite angrily said. "Since it's like this, then I'll get down by myself!"
Chu Qing-Yan didn't feel like wasting more words with him. She looked down and saw she was almost two floors high on the Chinese parasol tree and she swallowed her saliva. Her two arms wrapped around the tree branch and she started thinking of how to slide down it.
The person behind her didn't think she would do it like this and he raised an eyebrow. With one hand, he lifted her and placed her on top of the tree branch again.
Chu Qing-Yan only felt the sky spin, then she felt herself change direction. When she opened her eyes, she saw the person come into view, when she was finally able to see him clearly, she was stunned.
Outstanding and romantically elegant features, a pair of pressingly splendid eyes and amorous lips. Dressed in purple clothes, which complemented his devilish phoenix eyes with a charming temperament, he was simply an evildoer.
No peer in fairyland, no equal in the purple courts of heaven.
She couldn't help but think of a poem:
The north had beautiful woman, unequaled and unique. A look that could overturn a city and a second look that would overturn a nation.
But when she looked at the supposedly bright and clean neck, it actually had an Adam's Apple, she immediately opened her eyes wide. So this wasn't a beautiful woman, but rather a young evildoer man! Recalling that just now those people had called him young master Dong Ting, she snapped back to her senses from musing about a beautiful woman that turned out to be a man.
And Dong Ting Wang-Yu who was already used to being stared at, raised a brow. He had both of his hands behind his head and he leaned just like that on the tree branch, languidly telling her. "If you want your legs to be crippled, then jump, this young master won't stop you."
Chu Qing-Yan stared blankly for a moment before immediately looking at the person before her. "This one has neither grudges nor grievances with you, being seized up here by you could be considered this one's bad luck. If young master is willing to send this one back down, then today we will be considered even. If we were to meet once again in the future, we shall both walk our respective sides of the main road while looking skywards, what does the young master think about this?"
When Dong Ting Wang-Yu heard this, he finally looked squarely at the youth before him. Even in the face of death, he showed no fear, instead he used logic to move him emotionally. It really didn't seem like the kind of intellect and reasoning ability a 10 year old child should have.
Red lips and white teeth, tender face and jade like bones. He had to say the youth in front possessed a lovable face, Dong Ting Wang-Yu's heart wanted to toy with her and somewhat teasingly said to her. "What if I don't want to?"
The smile on Chu Qing-Yan's face stiffened and she immediately became somewhat angry. "You're unwilling to let me down and you're not willing to send me down. In the end, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Don't want to do anything, I'm just being willful!" Don't know when Dong Ting Wang-Yu took the golden boy mask from her hand and in passing put it on, only revealing a pair of enticing phoenix eyes.
Chu Qing-Yan felt that this person was simply unreasonable. Since she couldn't reason with him, she wasn't going to waste any more words. She just imitated him and closed her eyes, leaning against the tree branch and no longer talking.
Chu Qing-Yan's action of giving up stuggling made Dong Ting Wang-Yu raise a brow, he was somewhat puzzled. He was still waiting for her to bicker with him so he could properly taunt her. However, he didn't expect that she'd give up so quickly, so he suspiciously asked. "Why aren't you talking anymore? Could it be that you don't want to get down?"
Chu Qing-Yan crossed her arms and looked at him. "What's the use in talking, what's the use in not talking? Is it possible you'll let me go down if I accompanied you to talk for several sentences?"
"This is not impossible either!" Dong Ting Wang-Yu took off the mask and smiled like an evildoer.
Chu Qing-Yan didn't want to pay him any heed. Maybe this person was so idle that he became agitated, so he was teasing her for his own amusement. As long as she didn't pay him any heed, he would lose interest and voluntarily leave on his own.
Seeing Chu Qing-Yan remained silent, Dong Ting Wang-Yu suddenly felt that this little youth was really fun. It was rare to see such an adorable youth in Western Xuan Country. He was just about to tease her some more when he suddenly heard shouts coming from below.
"Miss——"
"Master——"
Hearing these voices, Chu Qing-Yan knew Xi Ning and the others had come looking for her. She had immediately wanted to alert them that she was on top of the tree when out of mid-air, a hand appeared and covered her mouth. Both of her hands were constrained to the tree branch, but the ice-cold tree bark was unable to suppress her rage. She glowered at the person before her as she used her eyes to talk to him. "In the end, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Really fun, willful." He used his lip motions to reply to her.
After Chu Qing-Yan understood the words he mouthed, she became extremely angry but she knew that she couldn't do anything about him, and at this time, Xi Ning's voice was also gradually getting farther away. Perhaps because she didn't reply back, she thought that she wasn't here, so they proceeded to another place to look for her. And so at this time, Chu Qing-Yan simply just ignored him.
Dong Ting Wang-Yu felt those soft lips pressing against his own palm, making it itch. He controlled his mood and watched those people walk farther away before loosening his grip on her mouth. His pair of eyes looked at her, pondering.
"You're a girl?"
It was a question, but the tone was certain.
"What if I was, what if I wasn't!" Chu Qing-Yan responded indifferently.
"Nothing much." Dong Ting Wang-Yu lazily leaned against the tree branch, his hand still playing with her mask. Soon after, he raised his eyes and looked at her, asking her with a teasing smile. "Little girl, why don't you follow this young master to go on a scenic tour of the world and live a carefree life. What do you think?"
Chu Qing-Yan pressed back closer to the tree branch and looked at him with vigilance.
Seeing Chu Qing-Yan with prickly spikes from head to toe like a hedgehog, Dong Ting Wang-Yu suddenly smiled, just like a Japanese flower blooming on a white jade wall, so dazzling as to startle people's heart.
"What are you afraid of, it's not as if I'm going to eat you!"
It was getting worse!
Chu Qing-Yan looked at his eyes and said with disdain. "Following you and becoming your servant girl? Eating wind and sleeping outdoors? Encountering people everyday that would be chasing after you to kill you?"
It was as if Dong Ting Wang-Yu had heard a very funny joke as he smiled secretly, immediately clarifying to say. "Following by my side, even with the status of a servant girl, you'll still live more comfortably than a Miss from an aristocratic family. It's impossible to eat wind and sleep outdoors, we'll only have exquisite soup and dishes, a table full of delicacies. As for the matter of being chased to be killed, it would only be on occasion!"
Chu Qing-Yan didn't know if what he said was true or false, but whether it was the truth or a lie didn't matter to her. She looked into his evildoer like phoenix eyes and clearly said. "This little, humble female still likes to live a peaceful life. Many thanks for young master's kind intentions."
Dong Ting Wang-Yu saw that this little girl was stubborn and not buying it. He felt she was even more interesting, but seeing that it was getting late, he pinched her tender cheeks. "Forget it, I'll just consider it as your eyes not being able to recognize gold and jade ornaments."
Chu Qing-Yan felt that the way he kept moving his hands and feet was really annoying. Just when she was about to smack his hand, she fell into his embrace and with a jump, they had gotten down from the tree.
By the time she regained her balance, that person had already left.
"Little girl, if fated, we'll meet again!"
Chu Qing-Yan turned back and was only able to see that person had his back to her and was waving the mask in his hand. Afterwards, with a stamp of his foot, he became a gust of purple wind, disappearing into the sea of people.
Chu Qing-Yan gripped the jade girl mask in her hand, feeling somewhat indignant. What a strange person!
Hope that she would never meet him again before she died of old age!
But who knew that when you really wanted to find a person, you couldn't find them even after an arduous journey? And when you don't want to see a person, no matter where you go, you would encounter them.
Yet, many years later, as that person's hand stroked that golden boy's mask, his expression was complicated yet gentle.
When golden wind and early autumn dew meet, they would birth a beautiful scenery that occurs countless times in the world.
