"Uh? Do you know me?"
Hearing Frosty's exclamation and seeing her shocked expression, it was clear that Frosty recognized her!
This realization startled Le Yao Yao, making her forget the pain on her forehead. She immediately gasped and asked.
When Frosty heard Le Yao Yao's words and noticed the unfamiliar look in her eyes, her beautiful little face, which was already frosty, took on an additional layer of sorrow. Her eyes tightened, shimmering with a glimmer that tugged at one's heartstrings.
And that delicate voice, soft and sweet, could make anyone's heart flutter. Not just men; even Le Yao Yao, as a woman herself, felt as if her bones were melting away.
"You really forgot me, sigh..."
Frosty sighed with a face full of sorrow, and upon seeing this, Le Yao Yao felt a wave of surprise wash over her.
Looking at Frosty's expression, it was evident that she must have known the owner of this body in the past.
However, it was unclear whether Frosty knew she was a woman.
Thinking about this made Le Yao Yao realize that she was still standing at the door and wondered if anyone inside the room had witnessed her interaction with Frosty.
If they had seen it and continued to speculate, especially if Frosty might know she was a woman...
The more she thought about it, the tighter Le Yao Yao's heart felt, almost choking her.
Realizing that this wasn't the right place to talk, she decided to take Frosty to a more secluded spot to discuss what was going on.
After all, she was very curious about her previous identity!
Just as she resolved to act on this thought, however, she heard Nangong Junxi's cheerful voice coming from behind her.
"Hey, isn't that the Frost Maiden? Little Bunny, why are you still standing at the door? Hurry up and let the Frost Maiden in!"
Clearly, Nangong Junxi mistakenly thought that Frosty had come specifically to see them.
Upon hearing Nangong Junxi's words, Le Yao Yao couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration.
That damn lecher! He lights up like a candle at the sight of a pretty girl.
But she couldn't let Frosty in! If Frosty said something, she would definitely be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt anxious, but behind her, Nangong Junxi spoke again.
"Little Bunny, what are you dawdling for?"
"Uh..."
Le Yao Yao's face flushed with embarrassment as she bit her Silver Fang. In the end, she could only step aside and create a path for the Frost Maiden.
If she was going to die, then so be it! Given the circumstances, if Frosty really revealed her identity as a woman, she would just have to accept it.
With a slight sigh, Le Yao Yao resigned herself to her fate.
Unexpectedly, when Frosty was given a clear path by Le Yao Yao, she didn't immediately walk into the room. Instead, she remained at the doorway. When she met Nangong Junxi's gaze, her originally beautiful little face, filled with excitement and sorrow, instantly turned cold as ice.
It was just like when she had been playing the piano downstairs earlier.
The swift change left Le Yao Yao beside her speechless in astonishment.
Could it be that this Frosty had learned some Sichuanese tricks before?
Just a moment ago, she had appeared excited and joyful, but now, facing Nangong Junxi, she took on the demeanor of an ice-cold beauty.
That frosty aura seemed somewhat reminiscent of a living Yama!
As Le Yao Yao pondered this, she heard Frost Maiden speak to Nangong Junxi in a tone that was cold yet polite.
"Young Master, my apologies, but I still have matters to discuss with Brother Yao today!"
"Brother Yao!?"
Not only was Nangong Junxi surprised, but Leng Junyu, who stood nearby, also raised his handsome brows slightly in astonishment. Clearly, he was taken aback by Frosty’s acquaintance with Le Yao Yao.
However, the most shocked of all was Le Yao Yao.
Brother Yao!?
The fact that Frosty referred to her as Brother Yao meant that she was unaware of her identity as a woman!
With this realization, the tension that had been building in Le Yao Yao's heart finally eased.
Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Nangong Junxi, after his initial surprise, laughed heartily and said,
"So you are an old acquaintance of the little rabbit! That makes it even more reason for you to come in and sit down. I’m quite curious about how you came to know the little rabbit!"
"Little rabbit?!"
Frosty looked puzzled at Nangong Junxi's nickname for Le Yao Yao.
Her beautiful eyes then shifted between Leng Junyu and Nangong Junxi before settling back on Le Yao Yao.
Although Frosty had not been in the bustling world for long, her keen intelligence allowed her to quickly grasp the situation.
Beautiful Eyes gently closed her eyes, a hint of sadness flickering in her gaze.
However, Frosty soon regained her composure and lightly bowed to Nangong Junxi, saying, "I apologize for the intrusion."
With that, she gracefully stepped into the room.
Le Yao Yao could no longer escape. After all, she was also curious about the story between Frosty and the previous owner of her body.
The room was spacious! Frosty sat on one side while Le Yao Yao took a seat across from her.
From Frosty's words, Le Yao Yao learned that Frosty had met her six months ago.
At that time, Frosty came from a well-off family, born into a scholarly household. As the only daughter, she was cherished by her parents.
Then, six months ago, her father suddenly fell gravely ill. Despite consulting many doctors, his condition did not improve. Anxious and desperate, Frosty decided to visit Mountain God Temple alone to pray for her father's recovery.
The road to Mountain God Temple was treacherous. As a delicate young woman, it took all her effort to reach the mountain. After praying to the deity, she accidentally rolled down the slope on her way back and ended up injuring her foot.
By then, night had fallen.
The forest at night was perilous; wild wolves and venomous snakes lurked in abundance.
Frosty thought she would surely perish that night. Fortunately, someone came to her rescue.
That person was none other than Le Yao Yao's predecessor.
Later, Le Yao Yao's ex brought the injured Frosty back to her home and stayed at Frosty's place for a few days before leaving.
Le Yao Yao had no idea what had happened between her ex and the Frost Maiden during that time. However, when she listened to Frosty recounting those past events, her face would sometimes light up with joy and at other times cloud over with sorrow. The innocent demeanor of a young girl was fully revealed, which made Le Yao Yao feel a sense of fondness in her heart.
Surely, Frosty must have had a good relationship with her ex!
Moreover, for some reason, although Frosty always emanated an icy aura that seemed to keep others at bay, it completely dissipated when she faced Le Yao Yao. Her sincere smile brought immense joy to Le Yao Yao's heart.
Looking at Frosty suddenly reminded her of her old dormitory roommates.
Back then, they would go wild together, eat excessively, shop, and travel; those were such wonderful days.
But here, she had no family, only Little Muzi. Now, with Frosty's appearance, her heart felt even more delighted.
Thus, when Le Yao Yao found out that Frosty was in such a place as a brothel, she felt both surprised and pained. She asked,
"What happened afterward? Why are you in a place like this?"
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, the once bright smile on Frosty's little face suddenly turned sorrowful. With a sigh, she replied,
"Brother Yao, not long after you left my home, my father passed away. My mother was heartbroken and eventually fell ill as well. Although my family comes from a scholarly background, we are not wealthy. We had already exhausted our resources for my father's illness; everything of value that could be sold was sold. In the end, my father still passed away. Now I am left with only my mother, but her health is unstable. The doctor said that she needs the best medicine and gradual care to recover. However, we have no money left... so..."
As she spoke the last words, Frosty choked up.
Tears as big as beans streamed down from her beautiful eyes.
Her tear-streaked face was truly heart-wrenching to behold, making Le Yao Yao feel an immense ache in her own heart.
She couldn't help but lament how she once complained about being transported into this wretched feudal dynasty while being nothing more than a penniless little eunuch.
But now, looking at Frosty's predicament, Le Yao Yao felt that even being a little eunuch was not such a burden after all; it was much better than what Frosty was going through.
Now, seeing Frosty's sorrowful expression, Le Yao Yao knew that Frosty was a good girl. Yet, she had pushed herself into the fire pit for the sake of her mother.
How could this be!?
This Frost Maiden looked to be only fifteen or sixteen! She had just entered the brothel and hadn’t taken any clients yet, but what about in the future!?
If she started taking clients, her life would be completely ruined!
Thinking of this made Le Yao Yao anxious.
For some reason, even though she had known Frosty for a short time, she really wanted to help her.
However, she was just a small eunuch with limited abilities; she wanted to help but felt powerless…
The more she thought about it, the worse Le Yao Yao's mood became.
What could she do to help Frosty!?
It was truly a frustrating problem!
Le Yao Yao kept pondering, her beautiful brows tightly knitted together, her face filled with distress.
Across from her, Frosty watched Le Yao Yao's troubled expression and understood that Le Yao Yao must be anxious about her situation.
Although she knew that with Le Yao Yao's abilities, there wasn’t much help she could provide, she was still very grateful.
So, she spoke to Le Yao Yao.
"Brother Yao, with your concern for me, Frosty is already content. Perhaps this is Frosty's fate..."
"No, Frosty, there must be a way. You're only in your teens! If you stay here any longer, your life will be over..."
Hearing Frosty's words, Le Yao Yao spoke with great emotion.
Seeing how much Le Yao Yao cared for her, Frosty felt even more grateful and then thought of something that made her expression dim. She said, "Since I came here, I've known that my life is already over. Brother Yao, would you despise Frosty?"
After saying this, Frosty looked at Le Yao Yao with a pair of anxious eyes, her palms sweating from nervousness.
Because even if everyone in the world despised her, she wouldn't mind—except for Brother Yao...
