Long Xinghe wanted to find the veil.
Feng Wuya, however, shook his head, still holding her hand tightly.
Seeing him like this, Long Xinghe couldn't understand.
"Does your heart still hurt? Did you take your medicine today?"
Feng Wuya nodded, but still didn't let go.
She had no choice but to sit down beside him and pour him a cup of tea with her other hand.
Feng Wuya happened to feel his throat inexplicably dry. This cup of tea was like timely rain to him.
For some reason, holding her hand and looking at the gentle smile at the corners of her lips and eyes, his throat seemed to become drier and drier, more and more parched.
"It's hot?" It was late at night, and this cup of tea hadn't been reheated. How could it still be hot?
"This is a thermos. I asked A'Li for it. If you like it, take it back. With it, you'll always have hot water to drink."
"By the way, next time I'll ask A'Li to buy a solar panel. Then, you'll be able to use a refrigerator and an electric fan."
"What are these things?" Just hearing about them made them sound incredible.
Long Xinghe smiled, "Things from my era."
Feng Wuya knew that she and Chu Qianli came from the same era.
In their era, there were truly all sorts of novelties, making one yearn for it.
"What? Do you want to come back and see?" But unfortunately, she herself couldn't go back.
Long Xinghe sighed softly and said gently, "If... if there's a chance, I'd like to take you for a walk."
"I also want to... see where you grew up."
These words were inexplicably shy.
In fact, there were things he wanted to say more, but he just couldn't bring himself to say them.
The five fingers holding her wrist tightened subconsciously.
Long Xinghe immediately stared at his complexion, afraid he was enduring pain without saying anything.
But his complexion wasn't as pale as usual. Instead, it had a hint of redness, even... a blush?
Why did he look like he was shy?
"Xinghe," Feng Wuya suddenly called out.
"What is it?" The way they were talking now felt truly strange.
He was still holding her wrist!
"Do you... have to go back to Tengbei?" Feng Wuya's question seemed casual.
But if one looked closely, they would notice that his expression was extremely nervous when he asked this.
Long Xinghe suddenly smiled, "What? You can't bear for me to leave?"
Feng Wuya didn't speak.
He had never spoken to a girl like this before. After saying half a sentence, he didn't know how to continue.
This time, it was Long Xinghe's turn to have a serious and solemn expression, "I still have to return to Tengbei. A'Li needs me to go back."
Although Chu Qianli hadn't said a word, Long Xinghe, having lived for so many years in an era of intrigue, understood many complex relationships in her heart.
Chu Qianli had left shortly after ascending the throne. In reality, her empire was not stable at all.
At this time, Chu Qianli should have returned to Long Teng immediately, the sooner the better.
But for some reason, she had stayed here.
For a man, she could even abandon her empire.
But she couldn't.
Although she liked Feng Wuya, she had to distinguish between public and private matters. Some things had to be resolved first.
"When I stabilize this empire for A'Li, I..." She didn't say the words "I will come back to find you."
She suddenly remembered her own face and instantly lost the courage to return.
What was the point of returning?
It would only be a burden to him.
Long Xinghe smiled and changed her words, "If Your Highness has time in the future, you can come to Tengbei to catch up."
Feng Wuya's eyes darkened, "So, you must leave?"
