I have someone I like?
Zhang Chenyu suddenly felt a pang at Gu's words, and the colorful streetlights around her seemed to dim. She never really harbored any illusions about that mysterious young man in front of her, but for some reason, she couldn't deny it. A sense of blockage filled her heart; perhaps every woman is born with an innate desire to have all men revolve around her.
Keke, and Coco—I don't deny it either. Bu Luo didn't seek anything. Gu held Yoyo in his left arm, gently brushing her hair with his leg. He watched as Yoyo wore an expression of pure enjoyment, her fox-like eyes squinting into slits. He then said, "You know, living is the ultimate pursuit. Who cares why we live?"
And what about me? Am I just living for the sake of living? Zhang Chenyu couldn't help but think that Gu Bian was such a crude person.
He was a bit more noble than those who merely existed without purpose. Gu turned his head to look at Zhang Chenyu; he was indeed living better than most.
He knew that he wasn't particularly noble himself.
Enough about him; let's talk about me.
At that moment, the two of them arrived at a jewelry store selling hairpins. Outside the shop were various types of hairpins on display. Gu had never seen a store as dazzling as this one in Lu State, where even a single hairpin could be so exquisite. He picked one up and began to play with it.
What was there to say about him? He had no real power of choice; the world was just like that. His father was the Grand Minister of Justice, and every significant matter at home required his approval. If he told him to marry someone, then he had to marry that person—could he really say no?
I wondered if Prince Xin and Prince Yong were conspiring to usurp the throne. I thought about who might be supporting them from behind the scenes and what their motives could be. I pondered whether the academy would agree to such actions; there were probably many things unknown to both him and me—perhaps we could discuss it once he entered the academy.
The two continued walking down Chang'an Street, seemingly chatting casually, but every word they exchanged could potentially have enormous consequences in Ying City, even leading to dire outcomes. Bu Luo had ensured that their conversation remained unheard by anyone else.
I knew that he might not realize it, but what if he blindly followed Prince Yong? Zhang Chenyu felt she couldn't persuade her own kin to change their minds.
As far as he knew, the emperors of the Lu State had all come from the academy. Wasn't Prince Xin one of them? Wasn't Prince Yong? What were Buqi and the others plotting? They couldn't escape the influence of that colossal institution.
He didn't say anything about letting him enter the academy.
He didn't say anything about delaying things either, just asking him to hold off on marrying for now. Once the situation settled, he could decide whether to marry or not. He wouldn't deny it; it would be his choice in the end. If Prince Yong truly laughed at his initial predicament, then what harm would it be if he didn’t marry? If Prince Yong's plans failed, would he really allow him to marry?
Then let’s do it my way.
Ever since Gu had seen Prince Xin, he had been calculating in his mind. He knew that if news of his survival reached either the Bai family or Tai Xu's people, he might have to flee to Tiandong again.
So he needed to create an identity for himself, or perhaps several identities, so he could navigate between various factions. Gu feared that someone would come looking for him alone. He believed that given enough time, he would become a figure of great power, someone who could stand firm and no longer need to run away.
They had tails behind them.
Zhang Chenyu suddenly miscalculated and put down the jade she had been playing with, only for Bei Qin to pick it up again.
He knew she was deliberately waiting for them.
People from Prince Xin's faction?
In some minor segments of Ying City, those officials' children were no strangers to such matters, especially someone like her who spent her days wandering through streets, taverns, and teahouses. The Jianghu people were even more aware of how the glamorous exterior often concealed something much more sordid.
What a fool! If it weren't for Red Sky's reminder, Coco would have taken it as an insult. Coco would have acted magnanimously, seizing the opportunity to showcase his own generosity. That Prince Xin was truly foolish.
What exactly did my song, the Water Dragon Chant, contain that made Prince Xin so unforgettable to me?
As I spoke, I noticed that the person was getting closer. I dropped the jade stone from my leg and took off running with Zhang Chenyu. Sure enough, one of the Barbarians at my waist came chasing after us.
I don't deny it. Just one person? That would be underestimating him too much, Gu Yi joked with Zhang Chenyu while we ran.
I can brag all I want; if I weren't scared, why would I be running?
