She had never liked a girl this much before.
Even when she t Shi Qingjun before stepping into the Qiankun Realm, she hadn’t felt such a heartbeat.
No... She can’t be this disgraceful.
Even though she was a young girl now, a lady of Flower Moon Building, she had to be reserved.
Ah Qing took a deep breath and held it, trying to calm herself down, otherwise... she would face Young Master Xu with teary eyes.
Xu Chang’an surely knows about the things between won, like eating together or sharing a mirror.
She didn’t want Xu Chang’an to misunderstand her intentions towards Yun Qian; if that were to happen, she’d really want to dive into the Abyss Sea and never co back.
Although she liked Yun Qian, although she was intensely moved, at the end of the day, it’s the affections between won, different from those between n and won.
However...
To Ah Qing’s surprise, after holding her breath, she felt the breathing beside her becoming more rapid.
"???"
After a mont of confusion, she suddenly realized that the accelerated heartbeat wasn’t just hers, but also Miss Yun’s beside her.
Could it be...
Miss Yun also felt... moved by her?
Yes.
Although she was just a young girl now, she was still the half-roof of the Western skies, so Miss Yun liking her was understandable...
Just as she was thinking, Ah Qing suddenly felt her waistband being lightly grabbed by Yun Qian.
"You... slow down," Yun Qian’s voice ca from beside her ear.
At this mont, Ah Qing noticed the rare hint of helplessness in Miss Yun’s normally calm voice... Helplessness?
Wasn’t it liking?
So Ah Qing stopped in her tracks and looked back.
It was by the window at this ti.
Mountain darkness cast heavy clouds, the chill of rain lood over.
Dense dark clouds already enveloped the surrounding hundred miles, rumblings from the sky, a stifling atmosphere, and the "pitter-patter" of rain falling heavily.
"Boom——"
A thunderclap resounded in the sky, the grim clouds illuminated as if it were dayti, the violent lightning simultaneously... lit up Yun Qian’s pale face.
"..." Ah Qing suddenly t Yun Qian’s eyes, and she felt sothing heavy hit her heart.
With a flush on her face, strands of hair slightly disheveled, unable to stand straight yet panting softly, Yun Qian...
She gazed at the swaying tassels on Yun Qian’s hair, unable to speak for a long while.
Truly.
Truly too... beautiful.
At this mont, the crimson in Ah Qing’s ears grew increasingly intense, as if about to drip off.
She used to believe the Dao Rhy was the most beautiful thing under the heavens.
But at this mont, she couldn’t help but feel a bit disrespectful towards the Heavenly Dao.
Dao Rhy?
In front of Miss Yun, it pales entirely.
Yet peculiarly, her disrespect didn’t provoke any punishnt from the Heavenly Dao, this made Ah Qing step down on the Dao Rhy’s status twice more.
"Ahem..." Ah Qing resisted, moving her gaze away from Yun Qian’s slightly awkward figure, looking out the window.
Rain fell upon the earth, petals in the pots outside the boat dashed to the ground, just like her aesthetic being rubbed by Yun Qian against the ground now.
"Miss... Miss Yun, I’m sorry... I... I lost my train of thought a bit." Ah Qing said as calmly as possible.
Now, wouldn’t she know that Yun Qian’s rapid breathing and accelerated heartbeat was because she was walking too fast?
This girl’s constitution was so weak, she managed to hold on and follow her for so long, it was strange she could still breathe. No wonder the heartbeat and breathing were so obvious just now; Ah Qing almost thought it was herself being infatuated beyond asure...
Turns out it wasn’t hers, but Yun Qian’s.
But... Yun Qian still endured.
Such a gentle girl.
Ah Qing smiled softly.
"I understand." Yun Qian breathed lightly, leaning against the window: "Rest."
"Mm." Ah Qing nodded.
The two paused for a mont by the window.
Yun Qian looked at the girl in front who seed a bit different from before, her breathing gradually returning calm.
In terms of liking the girl, she always had such patience.
So, even when dragged along rapidly like that by Ah Qing, there was no impatience.
However...
Yun Qian still felt, this girl in front was not quite smart.
’...’
Ah Qing seed to sense Yun Qian’s gaze on her, feeling embarrassed, confirming she indeed wasn’t suitable to be a maid’s role, even leading Miss Yun went wrong.
But... she had no other way.
In fact, they hadn’t really walked that long, it’s Yun Qian who was truly too weak.
This girl was too fragile, as if careless would break like porcelain.
Yet Ah Qing felt such weakness wasn’t necessarily bad.
After all, the more fragile the girl, the more likely she would stir her... no, stir Young Master’s protective instincts.
At that mont, the rain splashed in from the window, making Ah Qing’s brow feel a bit cool.
She instinctively took out a handkerchief, wiping away the water from her brow, then looked at a few strands of Yun Qian’s ssy hair at her forehead.
"..."
Forget it.
Now she would not so easily serve Yun Qian as she did before.
Previously, it was only because of Xu Chang’an that she saw Yun Qian differently, so she could freely wipe Yun Qian’s corner of the eye with a handkerchief.
But now...
She’s unsure how out of control her expression might be if sorting Yun Qian today.
She’s already lost all face possible in a lifeti today.
"..." Feeling Ah Qing’s complicated emotions, Yun Qian yawned, looking at her with slightly tearful eyes.
For this girl’s incompetence before her, Yun Qian herself felt little.
She should, indeed, feel little.
Ah Qing perhaps in this world would be quite powerful, but it depends on whom she faces.
Outside no matter how aloof, arrogant she acts, it’s up to her.
But before the girl, she must assu such.
...
Two girls rested by the bedside, Ah Qing looking out the window, faintly seeing girls laughing and hiding from the rain under the eaves.
The rain curtain fell like a waterfall, the atmosphere so quiet it was uncomfortable.
Thus Ah Qing proactively spoke: "Wonder what’s wrong with the sky, flooding... really lacking insight, choosing a girl’s feast to rain through."
"..." Yun Qian listened to Ah Qing’s words, pondering what to say in response.
But Ah Qing wasn’t hoping for Yun Qian’s response, she was just starting a conversation, aiming to naturally draw Yun Qian’s attention to her, thus leading to the next topic.
She raised her head slowly along with the sound of rain.
"Miss Yun."
"Mm."
"Miss... you truly won’t mind , will you?" Ah Qing asked with full sincerity.
"I won’t."
Yun Qian didn’t hesitate, her voice was that calm and reasonable to Ah Qing’s ears.
"Even if I’m a Half-Demon?"
"I’ve said many tis." Yun Qian spoke, her lips forming a slight smile.
"...?"
Ah Qing blushed, she was obviously being serious, yet why was the girl smiling.
Actually, Yun Qian seed to be the type not prone to smiling, but unexpectedly, she truly smiled now, the curve at her lips looked nice... yet Ah Qing wanted to find a crack to hide in.
Was her question amusing?
Of course, Yun Qian wouldn’t find Ah Qing amusing, nor diminish her.
She was thinking about Xu Chang’an.
Her husband liked to repeat a phrase many tis, often, even though she responded many tis, her husband would still tirelessly ask...
She’d say, these girls had aspects similar to Xu Chang’an.
Ah Qing and Xu Chang’an would surely get along.
Thus... due to her mistake causing Xu Chang’an and Ah Qing’s Karma Line wouldn’t count as an error?
Because this matter truly involved Miss Guan Yun, she truly cared, if Xu Chang’an could like Ah Qing, of course, she’d be glad.
Hence she’d smile.
But Ah Qing didn’t understand why Yun Qian smiled; she fell silent for a mont, then seriously said.
"I know Miss won’t look down on a Half-Demon, but if I... were actually a wicked woman?"
Perhaps there’s no one more wicked than her under the heavens, after all, though she hadn’t done anything, she shouldered the sect’s resources, naturally bearing this karma.
Wicked?
Ah Qing suddenly found Yun Qian’s gaze on her was sowhat peculiar.
