Las cosas malas suceden a menudo

Capítulo 100

"Yun'er, do you love me?" Jun Wuhen asked, like a child who had just won an award and was eager for recognition.

Qingyun was taken aback, her eyes flickered slightly, and she remained silent.

Jun Wuhen gave a wry smile. "I shouldn't have asked that." He switched to a lighter tone. "Then what kind of man would Yun'er love?"

Qingyun lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Time seemed to flow slowly through the air, and Jun Wuhen felt as if he were about to suffocate from the tension.

After a long while, Qingyun said calmly, "His mind and body can only hold me, his gaze can only linger on me, nothing else is allowed."

Her voice was as light as a night breeze, so light that it was almost imperceptible.

Jun Wuhen felt as if he were trapped by that gentle breeze, unable to move at all.

Jun Wuhen remained silent for a long time, so long that Qingyun had fallen asleep. His blue eyes flickered incessantly, and finally all his complex emotions dissipated into a soft sigh.

Jun Wuhen held Qingyun tightly.

"Yun'er, you promised me you would try your best to fall in love with me."

...

Qingyun opened her eyes, tilted her head back, and squinted at the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. She stretched out her hand, her jade-like palm reflecting the warm sunlight.

Actually, she didn't fall asleep that night; she heard those words. But now, seeing him, she couldn't bring herself to say them. She knew he needed a definite guarantee, but she couldn't make that promise.

She owed him far too much.

Qingyun closed her eyes again, placed the back of her hand against her forehead to block out the dappled sunlight, and let out a soft sigh.

"well……"

When she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of deep blue eyes. All the complex emotions in those eyes were too much for her to hide and were directly seen by Jun Wuhen.

"Yun'er".

"Without a trace." She blinked, a smile playing on her lips.

"You are not allowed to wear a mask."

“Uh…” Qingyun was slightly taken aback.

"At the very least, if you hate me, you should show it." The blue light flickered slightly.

"……good."

"That little girl Wuxia must be bothering you a lot!" Wuhen sat down with Qingyun and leaned against the tree trunk.

"hehe……"

"Tell the truth."

"I prefer a quieter life." Qingyun plucked a blade of grass and played with it in her hand. "But it's okay to do this occasionally."

"Yun'er..."

"Hmm?" Qingyun raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"Yun'er, do you want to go out? Today is the annual flower viewing day in Maple City."

"Oh?!" Qingyun's eyes lit up. "A flower-viewing day?"

“Every spring, Fengcheng has a flower-viewing day. On this day, every household will bring out their most beautiful flowers and display them in front of their door for people to admire. In addition, the Flower Temple in Fengcheng is also open.”

The Flower Temple is the largest building in Fengcheng, with a huge scale. It was originally Fengxi's imperial palace. Later, the emperor ordered it to be converted into the Flower Temple. It is open to the public on the day of flower viewing, with the intention of sharing the joy with the people.

"Oh?!" Qingyun raised an eyebrow. "Legend has it that there is a peach tree in the Flower Temple that absorbs the essence of the sun and moon and feeds on men's blood, which is why it grows so bright and alluring."

Wuhen smiled and said, "It's just a rumor. There are many kinds of flowers in the Flower Temple. There's a saying in Maple City: if you haven't seen the flowers in the Flower Temple, you haven't truly experienced spring."

"Heh..." Qingyun chuckled, "It seems that not going to the Flower Temple would be a waste of this spring."

"Does Yun'er mean she wants to go?"

Before Qingyun could speak, a joyful voice came from the tree.

"Yes! Of course I want it!"

Jun Wuhen and Qingyun looked up and met a pair of bright, watery eyes.

"Alas, no time..." Both of them sighed.

"Cousin Wuhen, I want to go! Today is Fengcheng's annual flower-viewing day, I want to go see the flowers." Wuxia jumped down from under the tree with a grin.

Jun Wuhen said helplessly, "Wuxia, I didn't say you couldn't go. It's just..." A flash of blue light appeared, "...have you finished practicing your zither?"

Wuxia's face immediately fell. She tugged at Qingyun's sleeve and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister Qingyun, I'll practice the zither diligently when I get back. Okay! Okay!"

Qingyun smiled and said to Jun Wuhen, "I'm not very familiar with Fengcheng yet. Wuhen must have a lot of things to do in the palace today! Let Wuxia take me there!"

“Yun’er…” Jun Wuhen squeezed her hand, a hint of guilt in his eyes, “When there aren’t so many things to do in the palace, I’ll accompany you to the places you want to go.”

Qingyun simply chuckled, "You are both the master of a palace and the supreme leader of the martial arts world, so naturally you have many things to do. Go on your way!"

Jun Wuhen had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned to Qingyun and said, "Yun'er, wear a veil when you go out."

Qingyun was taken aback, her eyes flashing slightly.
