Chapter 208: Trust Me
Ling Chuxi’s emotions slowly calmed down. At this moment, Huangfu Qingjue’s deep voice seemed to have indescribable magic, it possessed a kind of strength that could calm one’s heart.
“Little White will definitely return,” said Huangfu Qingjue as he gently tucked a few strands of stray hair behind Ling Chuxi’s ears with a smile. “Trust me, Little White will definitely return.”
“All right,” replied Ling Chuxi with a gentle nod.
“Don’t be so melancholic. You must eat until you are healthy and plump. Only then will you be truly yourself, the one and only Ling Chuxi.” Huangfu Qingjue laughed gently and rubbed Ling Chuxi’s head. “All right. I will make a move first. I still have some matters to handle. I will come and see you again.”
“Okay,” said Ling Chuxi with a gentle nod of her head as she caressed the warm scarf wound around her neck.
After Huangfu Qingjue finished speaking, he turned around and with a gentle leap, his silver figure became a mere flash against the night sky and all traces of him were gone. At the loft, Fu Chengyu had just coincidentally walked out and happened to see a man with silver hair patting Ling Chuxi’s head and then leaving without a trace. The smile on Ling Chuxi’s face made Fu Chengyu understand that Ling Chuxi had already cheered up and was no longer lifeless like she was before. This made Fu Chengyu feel extremely surprised. Who was that man with silver hair? And what was his relationship with Ling Chuxi? He was actually able to cheer Ling Chuxi up when no one else could… Furthermore, the man had just casually appeared without anybody within the grounds noticing a thing. Even he himself did not notice anything. That man with silver hair… How strong was his cultivation exactly?
“Senior Brother? What’s wrong?” enquired Ling Yichen as he stood by Fu Chengyu’s side and saw that Fu Chengyu was deep in thought.
“Oh, it’s nothing,” said Fu Chengyu as he shook his head. After a moment of hesitation, he finally decided to ask, “Yichen, does Chuxi have a very special friend?”
“Very special?” Ling Yichen frowned ever so slightly and thought about it before answering, “Does the Fifth Princess count? Previously she was arrogant and unruly, but she became obedient after being roughed up by Chuxi and that’s pretty special.”
“She doesn’t count,” said Fu Chengyu with a shake of his head, feeling a little speechless.
“Then… does Lan Xinyu count? In the past, she was unbearable, her nose pointed to the sky wherever she walked. But then, she was fixed by Chuxi and became extremely obedient,” said Ling Yichen after he pondered the question a little more.
Fu Chengyu was utterly speechless.
“Even she doesn’t count? Then, Senior Brother, what exactly are you trying to ask me about?” said Ling Yichen confusedly, he simply could not comprehend.
“It’s fine.” By now, Fu Chengyu had guessed that even Ling Yichen did not know of the existence of the silver-haired man. So, who exactly was that person then?
“Chuxi, is she still—Eh? Where is Chuxi?” Ling Yichen was just about to ask if Ling Chuxi was still sitting by the window, waiting for Little White, but when he looked over, he did not see Ling Chuxi there.
“She should have gone back into the house,” said Fu Chengyu with a smile. No matter what, seeing Ling Chuxi cheer up, was good.
Ling Yichen pondered for a moment and went down to look for Ling Chuxi. When he arrived at Ling Chuxi’s doorstep and was just about to knock on the door, the door suddenly flew open and he saw Ling Chuxi’s face with her eyes wide open.
“Chuxi, you, are you feeling all right?” asked Ling Yichen somewhat worriedly.
“I’m fine now! Yichen, I want to have a whole roasted goat tonight!” exclaimed Ling Chuxi as a smile appeared on her face and her eyebrows raised in excitement.
“Eh?” gasped Ling Yichen when saw Ling Chuxi being so vigorous. He could not help but be stunned, not regaining his senses for a long while.
“Hey, it’s just a whole goat, that’s all! Are you not willing or are you broke?” asked Ling Chuxi in dissatisfaction as she looked at Ling Yichen who had spaced out. She waved her hand in front of his face.
“Ah, of course not! Sure, let’s go and eat. We can have a whole roasted goat, roasted suckling pig, whatever it is that you wish to eat, it’s fine. Let’s go, we can leave at once,” said Ling Yichen when he finally regained his senses. Upon seeing Ling Chuxi smile, his heart finally felt relieved.
