However, just as Le Yao Yao was still stunned by Leng Junyu's sorrowful expression, Leng Junyu pressed his red lips together tightly and, without saying a word, turned and strode away.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao's beautiful dark eyebrows furrowed slightly.
What did it mean to say nothing at all? Was he telling her to leave or not?
This answer was something Le Yao Yao had never been able to extract from the lips of the living hell.
The next day, when she got up early, intending to serve the living hell, she received shocking news—he had already left!
It was said that pirates were rampant near Mount Tai, causing countless fishermen to suffer casualties, which had given the emperor quite a headache.
Upon receiving the news, the living hell immediately gathered his men and hurried off towards Mount Tai.
It was rumored that this time, with the pirates causing such chaos, even though the living hell possessed extraordinary abilities, it was uncertain when he would return.
Perhaps in ten days, a month, or even a year or two; it could even be three, five, or seven years.
Of course, Le Yao Yao heard all this from a young eunuch in the manor.
Three to five years!?
Did that mean she would no longer have to face the living hell every day? Even if he did return, she would be gone in three years!
Such an outcome should be very good for her.
Last night, she had wished to leave the royal residence immediately and distance herself from this living hell.
But for some reason, now that he had truly left and she thought about never having to see him again, her heart felt heavy as if a stone were pressing down on it…
Oh my! What on earth is wrong with her?
She clearly didn't like that living hell, did she? He left, so why does it hurt so much now!?
At this moment, Le Yao Yao was in turmoil.
Moreover, in the days without the living hell around.
Le Yao Yao found that everything she did felt aimless and lacking energy.
She spent her days in a daze, feeling somewhat foolish.
Every day, she would wake up early, clean the Elegant Breeze Pavilion, and then find herself with nothing to do.
With the absence of its owner, the Elegant Breeze Pavilion felt empty and eerily quiet.
Looking at the vacant Elegant Breeze Pavilion, now that the living hell had left, Mei and Xing naturally followed him.
Even when the living hell was present, the Elegant Breeze Pavilion had been quite serene; without him, it was even quieter, making her heart feel as if it were missing a piece...
Today marked the third day since the living hell had departed. After finishing her chores at the Elegant Breeze Pavilion around noon, Le Yao Yao headed to the dining hall.
Little Muzi had been waiting for her there for quite some time.
After grabbing some dishes and rice, Le Yao Yao immediately went over to Little Muzi.
"Xiaoyaozi, are you feeling unwell?"
As soon as Le Yao Yao sat down, Little Muzi blurted out this question.
Le Yao Yao raised her eyebrows in confusion at the question.
"I’m not uncomfortable at all. Why would you say that, Little Muzi?"
Le Yao Yao didn’t quite understand Little Muzi’s words.
Across from her, Little Muzi looked at Le Yao Yao with concern and said, "Xiaoyaozi, your complexion has been poor lately! Are you feeling unwell? You seem a bit listless these past few days. But if you’re not feeling well, it seems like it’s just your complexion; you’ve actually been eating a lot more than usual, yet I don’t see you gaining any weight."
Hearing Little Muzi's words, Le Yao Yao glanced down at the mountain of white rice in her bowl and suddenly realized that she had indeed been eating a lot recently!
What was most puzzling was that no matter how much she ate, she never felt full.
However, considering her age, perhaps it was due to growth spurts that she needed to eat so much!
With this thought in mind, Le Yao Yao smiled and reassured her friend.
"Little Muzi, don’t worry about me! I’m just growing! You should eat more too so that you can grow well!"
"Is that so? Then I’ll feel relieved. I was worried just now!" Little Muzi replied with a chuckle as she resumed eating heartily.
After Le Yao Yao and Little Muzi finished their meal, Chef Li happened to walk over and addressed Le Yao Yao.
"Xiaoyaozi, do you know a girl named Frosty?"
"Uh? Frosty?"
Hearing Chef Li's words, Le Yao Yao was momentarily taken aback. It dawned on her that since that night when she helped Frosty regain her freedom, she had not seen Frosty again.
If it weren't for Chef Li bringing it up, she might have almost forgotten about Frosty.
However, now listening to Chef Li, Le Yao Yao blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion and asked, "Chef Li, how did you know I knew Frosty?"
"Hehe, just now when I entered the palace through the back door, I saw a little girl peeking around in the backyard with a worried expression on her face, as if she were looking for someone. So, I kindly went over to ask her. After all, it's scorching hot in summer, and standing under the blazing sun like that could easily lead to heatstroke. To my surprise, that little girl specifically said she wanted to see you, so I decided to send a message!"
"Oh, I see! Thank you, Brother Li!"
Upon hearing Chef Li's explanation, Le Yao Yao suddenly understood and smiled brightly in gratitude.
Meanwhile, Little Muzi looked puzzled and asked, "Frosty? That name sounds so familiar. It's like... Ah! I remember! Isn't she... uh..."
Before Little Muzi could finish his exclamation, Le Yao Yao quickly covered his mouth with her hand.
Then she shot him a warning glance, signaling him not to get too excited.
After all, Frosty's reputation was somewhat known in the Capital City. However, that reputation was not exactly good.
Although Frosty still appeared pure and innocent now, she had been through quite a lot.
Even though it was unclear why her establishment suddenly closed down after that night, Frosty's name was still far from unfamiliar in the Capital City.
So now in the bustling cafeteria, with so many people around, while she wasn't afraid of any rumors being spread if someone overheard them, she simply didn't want to tarnish Frosty's reputation.
Little Muzi had her mouth covered by Le Yao Yao. Seeing the warning look in her eyes, she quickly understood what was happening. Her eyes widened in surprise as she pointed at Le Yao Yao's hand covering her mouth, signaling for her to let go.
Only then did Le Yao Yao finally release Little Muzi.
After taking a moment to catch her breath, Little Muzi voiced her curiosity.
"Xiaoyaozi, how do you know this Frost Maiden? Isn't she a noble lady? I heard she's as beautiful as a celestial being!"
Although the root of the matter had been cut off, gossip was in everyone's nature, and eunuchs were no exception.
Noticing Little Muzi's curiosity, Chef Li nearby also became intrigued. Thus, Le Yao Yao had no choice but to briefly recount what had happened that night.
After listening to Le Yao Yao's story, Little Muzi and Chef Li finally understood. However, Le Yao Yao was already in a hurry and rushed towards the back door.
After all, Frosty was waiting for her at the back door!
When Le Yao Yao reached the back door and greeted the young guard stationed there, she assured him that she wouldn't be gone long and would return after chatting with a friend.
The rules of the royal residence were strict, but now that Le Yao Yao's status was different, being able to stay close to the Elegant Breeze Pavilion indicated her elevated position in the prince's eyes. Therefore, she was quite respected within the palace.
At least, despite being a servant like everyone else, no one dared to bully her.
As Le Yao Yao stepped out of the back door, she spotted a graceful figure standing under a large banyan tree in the distance, eagerly waiting for her arrival.
Upon seeing her appear, the figure quickly dashed over.
"Brother Yao, you finally showed up!"
With a voice as clear as a lark's song, a charming figure arrived right in front of Le Yao Yao.
Today, Frosty appeared without the heavy makeup she usually wore, and her expression lacked the slightest hint of coldness.
She was dressed in a pink floral long dress, which, though not luxurious, suited her delicate beauty perfectly.
Her long black hair was elegantly styled into a beautiful bun. Although she wore no adornments, it did nothing to diminish her charm!
Indeed, she was a natural beauty; no matter what she wore, she looked stunning. This made Le Yao Yao reminisce about the day she had dressed as a woman herself, feeling just as lovely.
Unfortunately, it seemed that it would be a long time before she could wear women's clothing again!
Le Yao Yao sighed inwardly as she gazed at the radiant Frosty before her.
Perhaps back then, Frosty had put on a frosty facade out of reluctance and unwillingness.
But now she was different; she was free and had returned to the lively and cheerful demeanor that a girl her age should possess.
Seeing this brought some comfort to Le Yao Yao. Then, recalling something, she spoke up.
"What brings you here today?"
It was the height of summer, with temperatures soaring during the day.
The sun hung high in the sky, and the heat rising from the ground created a shimmering haze.
Looking at this delicate girl before her, even though there was a large banyan tree providing shade, Frosty's face still bore a rosy glow from the heat.
Truly, she was more beautiful than flowers, an enchanting sight!
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Frosty visibly tensed and blushed. Her little face tilted slightly downward, her beautiful eyes lowered shyly. Her fair hands fidgeted nervously with her dress as she softly replied.
"I came to find Brother Yao! Brother Yao promised he would come to see me, but it's been three days and he still hasn't shown up, so... so I..."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing Frosty's words, Le Yao Yao was taken aback for a moment, then began to recall the events of that day in detail.
It seemed that there really was such a thing.
However, she remembered that she had only said that to comfort Frosty. After all, she was no longer the person she used to be; she didn't even know where Frosty lived! How could she go find him?
But now, hearing Frosty's words made Le Yao Yao feel guilty. After all, it was her promise, and yet she hadn't followed through.
Seeing Frosty like this, it was clear that she had been waiting at home every day. When she couldn't wait any longer, she came looking for her!
Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao rubbed the back of her head awkwardly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry about that; I've been a bit busy lately..."
"Brother Yao doesn't need to apologize. I know Brother Yao is very busy. However, I just wanted to see how Brother Yao has been doing. Now that I've seen you today, I'm relieved. So... I'll just head home now."
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Frosty immediately panicked.
She felt even more regretful for being so inconsiderate.
Things were different now; Brother Yao had work to do! Naturally, he wouldn't have time to come find her. It was all her fault for being too anxious. What if Brother Yao got angry!?
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Frosty became, fearing that Le Yao Yao would blame her. So after finishing her sentence, she quickly turned around, deciding not to interfere with Le Yao Yao's work any longer.
Although she was very reluctant and didn't want to leave.
After all, she had finally encountered Brother Yao again, and there were so many things she wanted to say to him!
But, alas...
Frosty looked reluctant and dejected, which made Le Yao Yao feel a pang of sympathy.
Perhaps this Frosty had a good relationship with the owner of this body in the past!
Thinking of this, as Frosty turned around, Le Yao Yao immediately spoke without hesitation.
"Maybe I can tell Chief Eunuch that I’ll spend the day with you!"
"Huh? Is that really possible!?"
Just as Frosty turned around, tears were welling up in her eyes. Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, she immediately spun back around, her face filled with surprise as she asked.
Seeing Frosty's expression, filled with excitement and disbelief, along with the deep anticipation in her eyes, even someone with a heart of stone would find it hard to refuse her.
So, Le Yao Yao could only nod and smile in agreement.
"Wait for me; I'll go tell Chief Eunuch."
"Okay! I'll wait for you, Brother Yao!"
...
After informing Chief Eunuch that she had something to do outside the residence, Chief Eunuch didn’t say anything this time. Thus, Le Yao Yao smoothly obtained the exit permit. She then changed into a set of casual clothes and left the residence.
It was now noon, around one o'clock.
On this scorching summer day, hardly anyone was willing to brave the blazing sun outside for a stroll.
Le Yao Yao was no exception. Since Frosty had mentioned that they needed to buy medicine for her mother, Le Yao Yao accompanied Frosty to purchase the medicine and then bought some fruits for herself before heading back to Frosty's home.
Frosty's house was quite a distance from Duke Rui's Residence, taking about an hour to reach.
Once they arrived, Le Yao Yao was drenched in sweat and exhausted. Frosty wasn't much better off, but seeing Le Yao Yao's sweaty face, she disregarded her own discomfort and took out a handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from Le Yao Yao's forehead.
"Brother Yao must be tired! Let's go inside and have some tea!" Frosty said kindly while helping Le Yao Yao.
Feeling a bit shy about being attended to by such a beauty, Le Yao Yao reached out, intending to take the handkerchief and wipe her own sweat.
However, in a moment of carelessness, she accidentally grabbed Frosty's hand.
Frosty immediately jumped back as if shocked by electricity.
The intense reaction left Le Yao Yao momentarily stunned, blinking her beautiful eyes in confusion.
Had she really done anything that warranted such a strong response from Frosty?
Perhaps Frosty also realized that her reaction had been too extreme. Her cheeks flushed bright red, and she lowered her head, unable to meet Le Yao Yao's gaze. She softly said, "Brother Yao, please come inside."
"Oh, okay."
Upon hearing Frosty's words, Le Yao Yao assumed that Frosty was a girl. In ancient times, girls were generally more reserved, and even a gentle touch of hands could make them blush.
So, without thinking much further, she followed Frosty's finger and walked inside.
Frosty's home was small but very clean, giving off a refreshing vibe.
As soon as they entered, on the left side, there were some lush green Bamboo plants. The Bamboo swayed gently in the breeze, providing a cool and pleasant feeling even in the scorching summer heat.
On the right side, there were some Camellia plants.
Camellias had a long blooming period and would only fully bloom in May. Therefore, at this moment, the Camellias were still blooming beautifully, and when the wind blew, it carried a faint fragrance of the flowers.
After taking in Frosty's home, just then, perhaps hearing someone talking outside the door, a voice with a cough came from inside the house.
"Frosty, are you back?"
"Mother, it's me! Brother Yao is here too!"
Upon hearing the voice from inside, Frosty immediately responded with a smile.
Not long after, a slightly slender woman appeared in Le Yao Yao's line of sight.
The woman looked to be in her thirties, dressed in a dark red floral long dress, with her hair styled in an updo typical of married women.
Her face was very pale but had an almost sickly whiteness to it.
However, she was beautiful!
Time had only left slight traces at the corners of her eyes; her features resembled Frosty's by about seventy to eighty percent!
This must be Frosty's mother, the Liu Family, right?
Frosty had mentioned her mother to Le Yao Yao before.
After carefully observing the Liu Family, Le Yao Yao smiled sweetly at Liu Family and greeted her.
"Hello, Auntie."
"Oh, it's you, Yaozi! Come in, come in! Just now, Frosty said he was going to find you. I didn't believe him at first, but here you are! Haha, Auntie just made your favorite Camellia Pastry!"
Seeing Le Yao Yao, Liu Family's previously dim eyes suddenly brightened, and she warmly welcomed her.
The way Liu Family treated Le Yao Yao made her realize that her former partner had likely gotten along well with this family during his time living here.
Thus, the initial awkwardness faded away, and she cheerfully responded before stepping inside.
Although the Liu Family was frail, they were very talkative. Moreover, the pastries they made were delicious.
The entire afternoon passed with Le Yao Yao chatting with Liu Family, while Frosty sat nearby, pouring tea and occasionally chiming in, causing everyone to laugh heartily.
And so, the whole afternoon went by like this.
As the sun began to set, Le Yao Yao noticed it was getting late and stood up to bid farewell.
Though Frosty felt reluctant to part ways, he understood that Le Yao Yao needed to return home. After all, it would take an hour to walk back to Duke Rui's Residence!
So he said,
"Then Brother Yao, let me walk you to the corner!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this, Le Yao Yao wanted to decline, but seeing the determination in Frosty's eyes, she had no choice but to agree.
After saying goodbye to the Liu Family, she followed Frosty outside.
As the sun set, the clouds rolled gently, and the orange-red light of dusk streamed through the clouds, casting golden rays across the western sky. The entire land was bathed in a warm orange glow, adding an enchanting charm to the surroundings.
Le Yao Yao strolled alongside Frosty under the sunset, their silhouettes elongated by the amber light.
The evening breeze blew softly, bringing with it a welcome coolness that replaced the heat of the day. Walking along the path and feeling the gentle wind made Le Yao Yao's spirits lift instantly.
For some reason, over the past few days, she had started to feel somewhat different from her usual self.
Each day passed in a blur, and within the royal residence, her tasks were minimal.
In the past, after cleaning Elegant Breeze Pavilion each day, she would have a brief chat with Little Muzi during lunch. In the evenings, she would return to serve the formidable lord of hell.
However, with that lord absent now, it might be a long time before she saw him again.
Considering what he had done to her in recent nights, not seeing him was perhaps for the best.
Yet for some reason, she felt an emptiness in her heart as if a piece was missing…
Just as Le Yao Yao was lost in thought, Frosty's sweet voice pulled her back to reality.
"Brother Yao, I'm really happy today! I haven't felt this way in a long time. Of course... my mother is very happy too. Thank you for talking so much with her today; she actually likes you a lot! So, can you come visit us more often? But if you're busy... then that's okay too..."
Frosty's face radiated joy as she spoke to Le Yao Yao.
However, in the end, fearing that she might be asking for too much and that Le Yao Yao might not like it, Frosty immediately changed her words. Yet, there was a hint of subtle disappointment in her tone.
Le Yao Yao was unaware of Frosty's thoughts. Upon hearing her words, she immediately replied honestly.
"Ha ha, today I feel very happy too! If I have time in the future, I will definitely come to visit you and your mother often!"
"Really!?"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Frosty's eyes lit up, and she smiled with delight.
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao simply nodded in agreement. Then, glancing at the sky, she said to Frosty.
"Alright, it's getting late. You should head back! I'm going back too!"
"Okay then, Brother Yao, take care!"
Upon hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Frosty perked up and waved goodbye to her before slowly turning to leave.
Le Yao Yao watched her go, a smile lingering on her lips as she quickened her pace.
After all, it was quite a distance from here back to Duke Rui's Residence!
However, the thought of returning to the Elegant Breeze Pavilion—empty and quiet—made Le Yao Yao feel a bit downcast.
Sigh, what exactly was she feeling down about!?
Maybe it was best not to think too much and just hurry home!
With that thought in mind, Le Yao Yao quickened her steps, hoping to return to Duke Rui's Residence before sunset.
However, she had barely walked twenty meters when a sudden, panicked scream echoed from behind her.
That scream was all too familiar—it was Frosty!
Realizing this, and hearing the sheer terror in Frosty's voice, Le Yao Yao's heart leaped into her throat. Without hesitation, she turned around and sprinted toward the source of the scream.
As Le Yao Yao rushed over, she saw Frosty, frail and cornered, surrounded by three ruffians.
These three thugs were dressed in fine silk robes, but their faces bore a sinister expression.
It was clear they were wastrels who felt emboldened by their family's wealth to act recklessly!
Among them, one was tall, one was thin, and one was fat.
Le Yao Yao's beautiful eyes scanned the scene, ultimately landing on the fat one.
This rotund figure looked incredibly familiar; that massive body and pig-like face belonged to Master Shi—the very same man she had once stuffed into a sack and beaten up!
It seemed she had quite the connection with Master Shi.
Unfortunately, it was a connection born of resentment!
Every encounter with Master Shi had ended with him arrogantly bullying others.
Le Yao Yao felt her anger flare up instantly!
Last time, she had nearly been run over by Master Shi's carriage, only to be saved at the last moment. Now, Frosty was being bullied by him again.
It must have been Frosty's beauty that caught their attention, prompting those few men to immediately start acting lewdly!
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao became even angrier!
Looking around, there were only those three men, but the lackey who had followed Master Shi last time was nowhere to be seen.
As for the three men, one was tall, one was thin, and one was chubby. All of them had dark circles under their eyes, clearly a sign of excessive indulgence.
So, despite being outnumbered, Le Yao Yao didn't care.
She picked up a thick branch from the ground and charged towards the three men surrounding Frosty.
"Ah..."
After a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered, the tall man was knocked unconscious by Le Yao Yao with a single blow.
With the tall man crashing to the ground, everyone present was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Compared to Shi Cheng and his companion, Frosty, after recovering from her shock, saw Le Yao Yao gripping the large wooden stick tightly. Her previously panicked heart instantly calmed down as she exclaimed.
"Brother Yao..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Frosty immediately threw herself into Le Yao Yao's arms.
Inside, she felt an overwhelming excitement.
Oh my gosh!
Her Brother Yao had come! She... was so happy...
“Frosty, you should leave now!”
In response to the beauty's advances, Le Yao Yao's expression remained serious.
After all, the reason she had chosen to deal with the tall guy first was that he seemed to be the strongest among the three of them.
So she had taken him out quietly while they were distracted, eliminating the most difficult opponent first.
Now, only the short and chubby ones were left!
Facing two opponents alone, if this were back in school, she wouldn’t have been afraid at all. With her fierce reputation for fighting, she had plenty of glorious brawling history.
But now, she couldn't guarantee that anymore!
Her current body was very slender and soft; while it was great for dancing, she had never tried fighting before!
However, the situation left her no choice.
After knocking out the tall guy, the other two quickly rolled up their sleeves and approached her with ill intentions.
“Hmph! Who does this little brat think he is, ruining our fun?!”
The speaker was the Thin Guy.
Though short in stature, his skinny face bore a pair of narrow rat-like eyes that looked at Le Yao Yao with malicious intent, making him appear like a venomous snake at first glance—quite sleazy!
“You little punk, you’re asking for it!” Genius Ru Yi exclaimed.
Beside her, Shi Cheng immediately spoke to Le Yao Yao.
After all, they had just encountered this delicate beauty and recognized her as the former top star, Frosty, who had recently fallen from grace!
Thus, the three of them quickly surrounded the lovely lady, eager to enjoy themselves.
After all, this beauty was once a courtesan and not exactly a woman of pure reputation. They could always pay her off after their fun.
If they weren't satisfied, they could take her home and give her the title of Concubine to play with at their leisure.
However, unexpectedly, before they could even lay a finger on her, Chen Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, leaving them furious!
In contrast to Shi Cheng and his companions, Le Yao Yao was also seething with anger.
She knew that a fight was inevitable.
Fighting was not unfamiliar to her, but she feared for Frosty's safety. So, as Shi Cheng and his accomplices advanced with ill intentions, she pushed Frosty aside and gripped a large wooden stick tightly. With a cold snort, she disdainfully declared,
"Looking for death!? Are you talking about yourselves!?"
"Oh, such bravado! Don't blame us for being rude then! Tu Fei, let's go!"
Shi Cheng shouted the name of the short man with such fervor that it nearly made Le Yao Yao burst out laughing.
A bandit!?
Someone actually had that name!?
Well, well, it truly suited him!
"Get that bandit!"
Le Yao Yao sneered inwardly, her hands moving without hesitation.
As Shi Cheng and Tu Fei charged forward, she raised a large wooden stick and swung it at them.
Shi Cheng was struck in his ample belly, letting out a pig-like squeal before collapsing to the ground.
However, while Shi Cheng was dealt with, there was still Tu Fei to contend with.
It was only after engaging with Tu Fei that Le Yao Yao realized her miscalculation!
Earlier, she had assessed the three of them and thought the tall one would be the toughest to handle. Now she understood that among the three, the most difficult opponent was actually this short one!
Tu Fei, taking advantage of his small stature, dodged swiftly like a cunning little mouse.
Every time Le Yao Yao launched an attack, Tu Fei quickly evaded. Seeing this, Le Yao Yao became even more furious, her red lips pressed tightly together as she dared not let her guard down.
Meanwhile, Shi Cheng, who had just been struck by Le Yao Yao's blow, somehow found a large wooden stick and with bloodshot eyes swung it at her.
"Damn it! How dare you hit me!? I'll take your life today!"
Shi Cheng was infuriated by Le Yao Yao's earlier strike. Now he was reckless, putting all his strength into the swing.
If he landed a hit, it would surely be devastating!
Seeing this, Le Yao Yao planned to dodge immediately. However, Tu Fei noticed her intention and kicked towards her waist.
Caught between two attackers, Le Yao Yao couldn't evade in time and was struck hard in the waist by Tu Fei's kick.
In an instant, Le Yao Yao gasped in pain.
Her delicate features scrunched up in response to the hurt.
However, before she could catch her breath, a piercing scream echoed in her ears—
"Don't, Brother Yao, be careful!"
With Frosty's cry, Shi Cheng's powerful strike was already aimed directly at Le Yao Yao's head, swinging down with precision...
In that moment, Le Yao Yao felt a tingle run through her scalp, and a chill spread down her back.
Trying to dodge was utterly impossible.
As the rush of wind approached, Le Yao Yao felt as if the entire world had gone silent.
Moreover, she could foresee that her head was about to burst...
So, with fear gripping her, Le Yao Yao tightly shut her eyes, bracing for the impending pain.
Her heart raced up into her throat...
But after a long while, the anticipated pain did not come. Instead, she heard a series of wailing sounds akin to a pig being slaughtered, followed by the thud of something heavy hitting the ground.
Confused by this, Le Yao Yao furrowed her beautifully shaped dark eyebrows without opening her beautiful eyes. Suddenly, a familiar voice reached her ears—
"Yao Brother, are you okay!?"
"Uh!?"
The familiar, deep, hoarse voice with a hint of magnetism made Le Yao Yao pause, her delicate face momentarily stunned. Then, as if recalling something, she suddenly opened her Beautiful Eyes wide. Upon seeing the man in white who had appeared before her, her Eyes widened in surprise, and a spark of excitement flickered within them.
Her Red Lips parted as she exclaimed with joy, "Brother Bai, is that you!?"
"Haha, of course it's me!"
Seeing Le Yao Yao's face lit up with excitement made Dongfang Bai momentarily taken aback. A trace of astonishment and complex emotions crossed his handsome features.
However, lost in her excitement and joy, Le Yao Yao was completely unaware of the unusual look in the man's eyes.
She felt an overwhelming thrill and exhilaration inside her.
It seemed that she and this man were truly fated; every time she found herself in trouble, he would unexpectedly appear to save her!
Could this be what they called destiny!?
Le Yao Yao thought excitedly.
The man before her was dressed in white. Although he wasn't riding a white horse, his presence in her mind resembled that of a fairy tale prince. How could she not feel thrilled!?
Just as Le Yao Yao was caught up in her excitement, she suddenly felt a warm body rush into her arms, accompanied by Frosty's anxious and worried voice.
"Brother Yao, are you okay? Does it hurt? We need to find a doctor right away!"
Frosty's mention of the doctor made Le Yao Yao realize that she was still injured!
Just moments ago, she had been kicked hard by Tu Fei. Now, it felt as if her waist might have broken a bone.
In an instant, the pain made Le Yao Yao grit her teeth.
"Ah, Frosty, just stand still and don't touch me; it hurts!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, Brother Yao. Does it hurt a lot…?"
Hearing Le Yao Yao's words, Frosty panicked.
Tears streamed down her face like pearls that had fallen from a broken string.
Seeing Frosty's expression filled with concern and guilt, Le Yao Yao felt she couldn't say much. Moreover, she was most afraid of women crying. So, she had to endure the pain in her waist and forced a smile that looked worse than crying as she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine; just stop crying..."
If she kept crying, it would be a flood.
At that moment, Le Yao Yao truly understood the saying that women are made of water. Although she was a woman herself, compared to Frosty, she felt like a mere novice.
While Le Yao Yao was lost in thought, Dongfang Bai overheard the conversation between Frosty and Le Yao Yao. Seeing Le Yao Yao clutching her waist in pain made him realize that she was injured.
He immediately spoke up.
"Yao Brother, your waist is hurt. Let's find a place to sit down; I'll take a look at it!"
"What?! You want to take a look? Brother Bai, do you know medicine?!"
Le Yao Yao gasped in surprise at Dongfang Bai's words as she winced from the pain.
Dongfang Bai simply smiled and humbly replied.
"Just a little understanding, just a little understanding."
Although Dongfang Bai spoke modestly, Le Yao Yao could tell from his appearance that he must belong to some esteemed profession, perhaps a doctor.
However, even if he understood medicine, Le Yao Yao did not dare to let him examine her.
After all, she was a woman...
And the injury was on her waist!
Thinking of this, although her waist hurt quite a bit, Le Yao Yao still held back.
"Um, Brother Bai, I have something to attend to right now. Could you give me some medicine? I can just apply it when I get home."
Le Yao Yao said with a troubled expression. Seeing this, Dongfang Bai, though puzzled, remained very understanding. He smiled and replied.
"Since Yao Brother is not convenient right now, I have some excellent medicine for bruises. You can take it home and apply it three times a day. Just make sure it doesn't get wet..."
Dongfang Bai carefully explained the precautions, and Le Yao Yao immediately committed them to memory.
Moreover, listening to the slightly magnetic tone of the man's voice made Le Yao Yao's heart flutter.
At that moment, the sun had already set in the west, and the breeze was gentle under the bright moonlight.
The man's voice was like a fine aged wine just uncorked, intoxicating to listen to.
And under the moonlight, his face appeared somewhat hazy yet incredibly beautiful.
His long hair flowed behind him in graceful arcs as the wind swept through.
The figure, graceful as a startled swan, danced with the wind, resembling flowing clouds swirling in the sky.
This scene was so beautiful, like a moving ink painting...
Unknowingly, Le Yao Yao became somewhat entranced.
It wasn't until she heard the man raise his voice that she snapped back to reality.
"Yao Brother? Yao Brother! Did you understand everything?!"
"Uh..."
At his words, Le Yao Yao suddenly realized that she had been staring directly at the man's face.
Oh my!
How embarrassing!
