Las bellezas de la dinastía Song

Capítulo 50

Cheng Jue suddenly stopped, looked at me, and nodded very seriously, "Yes, we are very close."

Ugh, that's what they say again.

I was dismissive and wanted to laugh out loud, but when my eyes met his, for some reason I suddenly couldn't laugh. I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Really? Do we know each other?"

Cheng Jue laughed, confirming, "Of course we know each other, but it seems you've already forgotten."

I nodded vigorously, deeply agreeing.

"Yes, I really don't remember you at all."

“So, you must remember me.” Cheng Jue smiled, but her tone was unwavering and resolute.

I suddenly grew impatient, lifted his chin, and raised an eyebrow provocatively. "Kid, don't think you're so great just because you hold a high position in this timeline. I don't care. Watch your tone. By the way, why do I have to think of you? If you want me to know, just tell me yourself. Otherwise, I'm really not interested. What I care about is whether you closed the time-space barrier? What was that medium? Hand it over."

If you know what's good for you, pay up yourself. If not, I'll take matters into my own hands.

—If I don't make you forget who you are, I'll be doing myself a disservice.

﹏﹏Hmph﹏﹏Hehe﹏﹏

A hint of confusion appeared in Cheng Jue's eyes as she stared at me blankly. After I finished speaking, she inexplicably burst into laughter, laughing so hard she bent over, as if she was extremely happy.

I stared at him strangely. "You're crazy."

I thought he'd jump up in anger, but to my surprise, he wasn't angry at all. He just smiled at me and nodded. "No matter what you say, I'll only tell you two things. First, you must remember our past. Second, only I can open the time-space medium; even if you steal it, it won't help."

Ga—

My jaw dropped. How did this bastard know what I was thinking?

Cheng Jue looked at me with a smile, reached out to straighten my clothes, and said gently, "I told you, we're very close. I can tell what you're thinking at a glance."

"Don't worry, as long as you can remember what happened before, I will definitely open the barrier so you can come and go as you please."

Even after this guy dragged me into the crowd, I was still a little dazed.

My head is spinning, but I still can't recall ever seeing him before.

A sudden surge of resentment welled up within me. That damned master! He's always nowhere to be found when I need to look for him. Maybe if I let him see this damned Cheng Jue, he'll remember me. You damned monster.

Cheng Jue is greeting someone.

As we walked, people kept talking around me, but I was so stunned by Cheng Jue's words that I forgot to pay attention. It wasn't until someone tapped me on the shoulder that I turned around in a daze.

It's Mo Yu.

His face wore his usual elegant smile, a slight twitch at the corners of his lips that carried an inexplicable chill. He chuckled softly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You two certainly have a refined taste, but aren't you afraid of shocking the world? Homosexuality is, after all, too scandalous."

Huh? I was stunned for a moment, then followed his gaze and looked down, only to find that Cheng Jue had been holding my hand firmly the whole time. I blinked and then remembered that this was another time and space. Then I remembered that I was a man now, so I quickly pulled my hand away and glared at Cheng Jue.

Cheng Jue smiled leisurely, raising an eyebrow. "Lord Yun, you are overthinking it. This general never cares about what others say. Yan'er won't care either."

Yan, Yan'er?

I choked a little, and my mouth twitched.

—Seriously, when did we become so close?

Chapter 111: Strange

"Ahem," I cleared my throat, then gave a sweet smile, turned to look at Cheng Jue, and said, "My lord, please watch what you're saying before you speak. By the way, do I know you?"

I heard a low chuckle behind me, tinged with suppressed pleasure, while Cheng Jue's face quickly turned pale, then black. He glared at me angrily, the flames in his eyes burning my skin.

I dusted off my clothes, pretending not to see anything, and waved to Mo Yu, "Lord Mo, I know that the high-ranking officials of your two countries are having a meeting, and there must be a lot to say. I won't disturb you, nor do I want to listen, lest I be suspected of being a spy. You two continue your conversation, I'll go take a stroll by myself."

Mo Yu nodded with a smile.

I strode confidently away, disappearing into the distance amidst the jaws of the talented men and beautiful women who had already fallen for me.

Damn it, I thought I'd get to see a gathering of talented people from this era, but I was stunned by Cheng Jue's words and he kept dragging me into the crowd. The strange looks from the crowd practically pierced me. Yes, I do like BL (Boys' Love) and yuri (lesbian) romances, and if there were something to watch, I'd run faster than anyone else. But that's only if the subject is someone else; I don't want to be the one being admired.

Hmph! That damned Cheng Jue! I thought he was being kind, but he didn't even mention it, and I got tricked by him. I'll make him furious!

You little brat, humph.

My annoyance vanished in no time. I strolled leisurely through the garden, occasionally encountering couples of handsome men and beautiful women. It turns out this garden is a typical romantic spot. How interesting. Hehe. Sometime, I'll bring Ziru and Ruying here to impress these talented men, and then, incidentally, help them find a suitable husband so they won't be watching me all the time.

hey-hey.

Finding a shallow beach near the water, there was a wonderful meadow. On the tender grass, small wildflowers of various colors bloomed here and there, separated by a large clump of low-lying trees, forming a small, independent space. In front of it was the vast expanse of Huai Lake, wide and boundless.

My eyes lit up, I kicked off my shoes and ran over, opened my arms, closed my eyes, and fell backward.

The grass was indeed thick and soft enough; it didn't hurt at all, and the scent of the grass was lovely. I greedily took another sniff, and then froze.

Why does this grass feel so warm? ﹏﹏

A pair of strong arms supported me, and my head rested on the broad chest of the person who owned them. As I froze, the person behind me also froze.

My heart skipped a beat, and I hurriedly tried to turn around, but unexpectedly, those arms suddenly wrapped around me and tightly gripped my waist. I panicked even more, and before I could think of what to say or do, the arms around my waist paused, and then suddenly let go.

I quickly jumped to the side, stepped barefoot onto the grass, and turned to look.

Master?

His expression was strange, with an indescribable quality in his eyes. But in an instant, it returned to normal: cold, noble, and indifferent. It was the dark night.
