When I woke up, I found myself lying in a soft and warm brocade quilt, with a faint fragrance wafting around, making me feel extremely comfortable.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw a beautiful and elegant maid standing by the bed, her eyes filled with concern.
"exquisiteThe young lady is awake," the maid's voice was soft and sweet as she turned and walked out, seemingly to report to someone.
I sat up and looked around. This was a very elegant room, with exquisite paintings hanging on the walls and delicate vases on the table, holding several blooming flowers. The whole room was filled with warmth and tranquility.
At this moment, a charming and lovely woman walked in, wearing a graceful long dress and moving gracefully like a blooming lotus. She came to the side of my bed and asked with concern, "exquisite Miss, are you feeling better?"
I looked at her, feeling somewhat surprised. I hadn't expected Chou Xuanji to bring me to see Qin Shishi.
Before I could speak, a voice came out: "If it's a disaster that lasts a thousand years, she must be doing very well."
As soon as the words fell, Chou Xuanji emerged from behind the woman, looking at me with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Chou Xuanji bowed to Qin Shishi and sincerely said, "It is indeed my fault that Qin Shishi's reputation has been damaged."
Qin Shishi smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's all just a misunderstanding, it's cleared up now. But Mr. Chou, you should be more attentive to exquisite girl in the future. It's not good to cause such a joke again."
I stared at the two people in front of me, feeling a bit confused, not understanding what they were talking about.
Qin Shishi looked at me, with a hint of understanding in her eyes, and then said, "When you marry the exquisite lady, remember to invite me to the wedding feast."
Chou Xuanji looked at me, with the words "Let's keep our understanding unspoken, don't say too much" written on her face.
I was suddenly struck by a thunderous sensation in my head, and I couldn't help but think to myself: Why is this getting more and more chaotic?
Qin Shishi left the room with a hint of helplessness in her smile, gently closing the door behind her, leaving me and Chou Xuanji in silence.
The air in the room seemed to freeze with her departure, leaving only the sound of our breathing echoing in the air.
Chou Xuanji turned around, his eyes carrying a hint of seriousness, his voice low and powerful: "I can only explain to her that we had a conflict, and you labeled me as a scumbag because you were angry."
He paused and continued, "Otherwise, if Qin Shishi is publicized by you as being engaged to me for life, it will ruin her business, and she won't let you off the hook."
I was stunned, not expecting Chou Xuanji to be so direct with these words.
I feel a little guilty and a little grateful in my heart.
It's been a while since I started spreading rumors about him being a scumbag in the martial arts world. I didn't expect that during this time, he would go to great lengths to protect me, even at the cost of bearing the reputation of being a scumbag. I owe him and Miss Qin Shishi an apology.
I feel very ashamed and embarrassed, so I lowered my head and stopped looking at him. Tears began to well up in my eyes. This is the first time I've made such a big mistake. I don't know how much money the Pavilion Master will deduct from me.
Before my tears could fall, Chou Xuanji suddenly grabbed my arms and said to me earnestly, "Exquisite, I am not a scumbag. If I like someone, I will wholeheartedly treat her well and never change for a lifetime."
I have also come to understand a little about his character along the way. Although he claims to have feelings for only one person, I don't know if it's true or not. But I did spread false information in the martial arts world, there's no denying that. I blackened the name of the Thousand Threads Pavilion. I'm sorry, Pavilion Master.
Thinking of this, I held my head and replied to him with a slightly perfunctory tone, "I know."
In my voice, there is a hint of helplessness and confusion. I don't know how to face everything in front of me.
Chou Xuanji came over, placing his hand on my forehead, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold from falling into the water?" His gentle and considerate actions made me feel incredibly warm.
I finally burst into tears, leaning on Chou Xuanji, not caring about wetting his precious clothes with my snot and tears.
At this moment, I only feel an unprecedented sense of release and relief, as if all the grievances and pressures have been vented at this moment.
"Wahhh—I've made a big mistake—I've led the gossip in the wrong direction—wahhh—Pavilion Master will definitely scold me—I'm going to lose my job—wahhh—" I cried out, my voice filled with despair and helplessness.
Chou Xuanji gently patted my back and comforted me, "Don't be afraid, with me here, everything will be okay." His voice was full of determination and strength, giving me a little comfort.
I had barely started crying when the voice of Chou Xuanji demanding a beating rang out again: "You got a cold and still owe me medical expenses, but don't go fainting on me again."
Medical expenses, isn't that just owing someone money?
As soon as these words were spoken, they were more effective than any miraculous medicine, and I immediately stopped crying.
