At this point in her memories, Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan basically behaved like an old couple.
They normally lived like recluses inside the courtyard, playing instruments or chess games or preparing some tea. They even grew a pond of water lilies and raised several cranes, spending their days fairly leisurely and freely.
To match her elegant and noble baby, she even seriously learned to play the zither and Go, learned calligraphy and painting, and would pronounce her words carefully like a writer in everyday conversation. This caused the guys from the Fearless Alliance to live in terror every day and they stayed far away from her in fear, thinking she was drinking heavily again.
One day, the worried Ye Wanwan furtively probed, “Hm, baby, let me ask you a question…”
Si Yehan: “What is it?”
Ye Wanwan carefully picked her words. “What are… your thoughts… on the President of the Fearless Alliance, Bro Flattop?”
“Why are you asking this?” Si Yehan couldn’t figure out why she suddenly asked this question.
Ye Wanwan offhandedly replied, “I’m just curious and randomly asking. What kind of person do you think Bai Feng is?”
Si Yehan’s face turned stern as he ordered, “This person is very dangerous, so stay far away from her. Don’t participate in the Fearless Alliance’s fights anymore.”
When Ye Wanwan heard Si Yehan’s opinion, her heart plunged down to the earth, chilled.
Very dangerous… very dangerous…
Wahhh, I’m actually not dangerous at all! I’m very soft and cute!
Si Yehan sensed something was amiss after a second, and Ye Wanwan quickly regained her composure. “Ahem, don’t worry, don’t worry! Of course I know! I’ve broken all ties with the Fearless Alliance already! We made a clean break and absolutely won’t have any more dealings with them again. I also definitely won’t come into contact with that demoness!”
“En.”
“Um… I have another question.”
Ye Wanwan finally relaxed when Si Yehan didn’t seem to suspect anything. She took a deep breath before making up her mind and continuing, “Ah, baby, since the first time I met you, it feels like I’m always forcing you… Do you… do you rather dislike me? In truth, if you really don’t like me… you don’t have to force yourself…”
Si Yehan was startled and his scorching gaze turned toward her as he slowly asked, “Why do you think I’m forcing myself?”
Ye Wanwan blinked and dazedly answered, “Hm, didn’t you only come with me because of the shaobing? Back then, you also only saved me because of some shaobing… Later, because I gave you a bag of popping candy… that night, you… you agreed and said ‘Yes’…”
The more Ye Wanwan spoke, the more depressed she became.
Who would’ve expected her love rival to be shaobing? Oh right, there was also steamed buns, mantous, cornbreads, and popping candies…
Si Yehan looked at her with a complicated expression. “That’s what you think?”
Ye Wanwan blinked. “That’s right. Actually… I’ve been wanting to ask you. Why do you like shaobing and popping candy so much?
“I was actually completely drunk back then. I completely didn’t expect to exchange a bag of popping candy with you, yet you… you agreed to stay with me…
“You’re so good but so clueless and don’t know anything. I don’t want to deceive you or use you.
“You’re free now, so you can eat anything and do anything you want. If you like the food I gave you, you can buy those items anywhere! They’re not rare objects…”
Si Yehan’s fingers froze around the black chess piece he held. “Do you want to know why?”
Ye Wanwan vehemently nodded. “Yes! I do!”
Si Yehan placed down the chess piece and casually replied, “Because no matter what you use to trade with me, I will say ‘Yes’.”
Ye Wanwan’s mind crashed at once. “…Huh?”
