The horse carriage slowly made its way into the capital. As it got closer and closer to the city, it became more and more bustling. "Rui, where are we going?"
"To the bridge." He smiled and pointed ahead.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of a theater garden. Ruo Rui followed Xi Men Rui Xue into the theater garden and he walked in front while she followed behind him. She was clearly following him, but when they passed through a door, her body accidentally bumped into a man who was walking out of the theater, "Aiyo …"
That collision made the two of them cry out at the same time. When Ruo Ruo raised her head, she stood still in surprise. The person before her, that face, was so familiar. Could it be him?
"Xing Fei …" He murmured subconsciously, but the soles of his feet were rooted to the ground, making it hard for him to move a single inch.
The man before her lowered his gaze and gave her a glance, but he remained silent. He was just about to circle around her and rush out of the theater.
"Xing Fei, is that you?" The man ran, and Ruo Ruo's gaze followed him too closely. Too similar, other than that costume, he was obviously Xing Fei. Since he had transmigrated, Ruo Ruo naturally thought that Xing Fei might have also transmigrated.
Only she never knew he could sing again.
Just as the man continued running as if he didn't hear her, as if he was confused about why she was running, a figure pressed down on his head from in front of him, and the smell of alcohol wafted into his nose. Just as the man frowned at the smell of alcohol, a finger slipped towards her face.
Ah …" "She retreated three steps before realizing that the person in front of her was a drunk man. He was a man, and she was dressed like a man, but he actually wanted to touch her face in front of everyone …
Turning her head to look at the back of Xing Fei, she finally understood.
It turned out that the man in front of him was addicted to having his sleeves cut off.
She was too lazy to care about him, or maybe that person was Xing Fei. It was better to avoid trouble and just obediently follow Xi Men Rui Xue to watch the show.
Curious, she wanted to see how the ancient theatres sang.
"Ruo Ruo, why are you so slow?" He quickly caught up and asked without looking back as he walked behind Xi Men Rui Xue.
"Oh, nothing." Since she called for that person, and that person didn't reply, that meant that person was not Xing Fei who had transmigrated over.
The two tables in front of them were empty, and there were some snacks and fruits on them. Xi Men Rui Xue did not wait for anyone to lead the way, so she walked towards one of the tables and sat down, listening curiously to the melodies that were being sung onstage. Although she did not understand it, her melody was beautiful and moving, one that was rarely heard in modern times, and this made her, a person who especially liked music, to become serious, and she did not want to miss a single second of listening to a play.
Ruo Ruo originally didn't care much about it, but when she inadvertently glanced over, she saw that man, who looked exactly like Xing Fei, was currently dressed in flowery clothes and was being embraced by the man who bumped into her. That scene, no matter how she looked at it, made her feel weird and uncomfortable, and now, she finally understood why that man wanted to run away.
A stream of fire rushed up and pulled on Ximen Ruixue's sleeve with her small hand. Then, she pouted towards the man who had bumped into her. "Rui, who is that man?"
Xi Men Rui Xue followed her gaze and looked over. Then, she said in a low voice, "That man's surname is Yun. He's the Yun Family's third young master, Yun Xi Hu."
Upon hearing that it was the young master of the Yun Family, Ruo Rui disliked the man even more. "Rui, I want you to save that Hua Dan." No matter how he looked at it, 'Xing Fei' was pitiful. A dignified man was actually being embraced by another man in front of everyone.
Xi Men Rui Xue raised her eyebrows. "What? You know her?" He suddenly moved closer to her ear. Although his voice was low and deep, to her ears, it was as deafening as the sound of a bell being rung.
"No …" "I don't know him."
"Then don't meddle in other people's business. Let's watch our show. We are only two commoners now, what right do you have to fight with the young master of the Yun family?"
"But you are not. Thus, I want you to save him." If there was nothing else she could do, just based on that disgusting man's surname, and that 'Hua Dan' like Xing Fei, she had to save Xing Fei from both of these requests.
"What, you like that man?" His sharp eyes glanced at 'Xing Fei,' who was like a knife that made people shiver.
"Nope." No matter what, he could not let Ximen Ruoxi know about the story between her and 'Xing Fei'.
Xi Men Ruoxue smiled and turned her head to give her a cold back. "Watch obediently. Otherwise, you won't even have time to drink."
Ruo Ruo pouted. She knew that Xi Men Rui Xue was determined not to help her, but her gaze seemed to have a root as it kept falling on Young Master Yun and Xing Fei. Looking at Young Master Yun's dishonest hands, she could not help but be angry.
Unable to hold it in any longer, Ruo Ruo stood up and took a step to the table beside her. When the people in the garden were all listening to the joke, Ruo Ruo shouted, "Take your dirty hands away."
Young Master Yun raised his head to glance at Ruo Ruo, but instead of getting angry, he said, "Oh, this young brother looks really pretty. Sit down, sit down, watch the show with me."
"Pah …" If she sat at his table, her lifespan would be shortened. She coldly and angrily said, "Let him go."
"Release who?" At the same time, his hand actually reached into the collar of 'Xing Fei's shirt, which was already unbuckled. The current' Xing Fei 'wanted to struggle, but he was held onto by Young Master Yun, causing him to be unable to move. When he came into contact with the latter's gaze,' Xing Fei 'stared at the tip of his shoes with his head lowered, not daring to look at anyone. It was as if he was already used to being played around by Young Master Yun in this kind of situation.
How infuriating! He watched as a little girl brought a bowl of tea and placed it on the table in front of Yun Xi Hu. The teacup still emitted hot steam and he casually picked it up, then suddenly threw it at Yun Xi Hu's face.
He was absolutely caught off guard. In addition to what Yun Xi Hu said, he would never have imagined that this cultured and refined servant would actually have such a wild move. Therefore, Yun Xi Hu was caught off guard.
"Ah!" Young Master Yun cried out in surprise. That scorching heat caused him to loosen his grip on the wolf claw that was still resting on Xing Fei's body. At the same time, he shouted, "Hurry and catch the assassin! Capture him alive!"
Ruo Ruo didn't care if he was a wolf or a ghost. She grabbed 'Xing Fei's' sleeve and pulled him along as she ran, "Hurry, let's go."
Only then did Xing Fei realize that she was helping him and did not ask for the reason. Moreover, in such an urgent situation, the two of them did not have any time to talk. Other than running, there was only running.
He didn't walk through the front door, but through the back. This place was more familiar to 'Xing Fei' than her, 'this place'. However, in just a moment, this place was flipped upside down.
At this moment, he was especially upset. Previously, he had only exchanged calls for Young Master Ling, but had forgotten to address her directly. He wanted to call her by her name, but if so many people really did call out, their identities would be exposed.
However, the backstage passage was too narrow, making it impossible for him to use his skills.
After seven or eight twists and turns, a bedroom appeared in front of him, "No!" When 'Xing Fei' dragged Ruo Ruo in and was about to rush in, Ruo Ruo refused, but if she entered the room, that would be a dead end.
"Don't worry, there's an exit here." At the same time, the two of them quickly rushed into the room, and with a return of their hands, Xing Fei bolted the door, and then pulled Ruo Ruo to the window. Without saying a word, he lifted her up and placed her on the windowsill, "Quickly, jump out."
When he landed on the ground, he felt a bit of pain in his ankle, but he couldn't care less. 'Xing Fei' also jumped down from the window with her, and then he pulled her along as he ran towards a small door at the back of the garden outside the window. He opened the door, and saw that it was indeed an alley, and there was indeed an exit.
At that moment, Ruo Ruo forgot about watching the show and eating, and was running as fast as she could. It would have been better if she had taken advantage of this opportunity to escape from Xi Men Rui Xue, because she had heard Fu Qing and Mustard mention that they would be returning to the palace in two days. However, she did not want to return to that palace at all.
"Xing Fei" was much more familiar with the terrain than expected. As he ran, he actually took her away from the 'pursuers' behind him and magically ran to a small temple in the west of the city to hide.
Although the small temple was small, it still had incense to offer. It was likely that the nearby residents would burn incense every day to pray for peace.
Breathing heavily as he stopped behind the Buddha statue, 'Xing Fei' raised his head to look at Ruo Ruo. "Why did you save me?" He asked with some urgency, but he could not conceal his desire to know everything.
"I don't like that Yun guy touching you." Ruo Ruo said without a trace of politeness.
"You know me?" Xing Fei continued to size her up, as if he didn't believe the reason she gave him for saving him.
