You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter 51: I'll Step Back for a Moment
Tang Zisu recalled the book she had read; she had only seen the beginning and not the ending, as if she had walked into a story without knowing which character she was playing. Shu Que Wu Pan.
The two remained silent, surrounded by an eerie stillness that made Tang Zisu feel anxious.
"Kong Xuan, will you sing for me?"
"I can't."
"Then I'll sing for you. I watched an old movie, and I think you resemble Brigitte Lin's character in Invincible East, possessing an ambiguous beauty that makes me see you as a woman. The theme song is called Azure Sea Smile. Azure Sea Smile, the tides surge on both shores..."
Kong Xuan quickly covered Tang Zisu's mouth.
Tang Zisu protested, "Wuwu, I haven't even started yet."
Kong Xuan replied, "Shut up, I'm afraid your singing will attract wolves."
If it starts with wolves, who knows what other monsters might come if she kept singing.
However, Tang Zisu was determined to showcase her singing talent.
In a moment of desperation, Kong Xuan grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them into the flower field below: "Look, fireflies."
"What season is it for fireflies? Are you trying to distract me because you think my singing is terrible?" Tang Zisu exclaimed. Just as she finished speaking, a large swarm of fireflies rose from the flowers ahead.
A large number of fireflies danced in the air, their blue lights sparkling and flowing among the shadows of the night, weaving a dreamlike and brilliant illusion.
"How beautiful!"
"Should we go take a look?"
"No, it's enough to see it from afar. Some things cannot be grasped, and I won't force it."
Tang Zisu's words seemed to be spoken casually, but Kong Xuan pondered for a long time.
When he came back to his senses, the little person in his arms had already begun to softly snore, with her plump little mouth open, revealing a silly smile.
"Silly Goose, how can you sleep through such a beautiful scene? You really don't understand romance."
Kong Xuan leaned down and, almost as if enchanted, kissed that soft little mouth.
Just once, like a dragonfly touching the water, that sweetness lingered long after.
Kong Xuan tightened his embrace around the person in his arms and spoke to the darkness ahead: "Come out, I knew you were there."
The imposing Wolf King emerged from the shadows, holding a tender three-leaf grass in his mouth. He tossed the grass onto Kong Xuan and teasingly said, "Ming Wang, how could I bear to disturb your romantic moment?"
Kong Xuan squeezed the juice from the grass and let it drip onto Tang Zisu's forehead before drawing a character for forgetfulness with the liquid.
Lang Ye, seeing that Kong Xuan did not retort, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you mute now or are you just unwilling to speak with me because you're holding a woman? Should I step aside while you take care of things?"
"Shut up, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
"I'm a wolf."
"Yes, you're a wolf, the guard dog!"
"Kong Xuan! Forget it, I won't argue with you. Let's go, they should be looking for us soon."
"Mm." Kong Xuan replied, standing up to adjust Tang Zisu's cloak.
Watching his careful movements, Lang Ye opened his mouth several times but ultimately said nothing.
Some things are understood more deeply by oneself than what others express.
As Lang Ye expected, they soon encountered a group of young hunters led by Softy, Little Fish, and Jumping in the mountains. Each of the young men carried one on their back, and one of them was Zhang Ermao.
Seeing Tang Zisu being carried by Kong Xuan, Softy hurried over and asked, "What happened to the High Priestess?"
"She fell down, it's nothing serious."
Little Fish quickly stepped forward to offer assistance: "Divine Maiden, let me carry the High Priestess; you take a break."
