The storyteller understood the meaning in his words. After all, he was a wanderer in the world and reacted faster than others. He quickly made up another story in his mind. He stood up boldly, slapped the wake-up wood, and continued to smile.
“Looks like what I said earlier was wrong. I apologize to Marquis Xie and Miss Bai. From what 1 see, this… uh, Young Marquis fell in love with Miss Bai at first sight. Later on, everyone saw him giving flowers and both of them shopping along the streets…. Miss Bai has the looks of a celestial being and is so beautiful that she could topple cities. She’s a beauty that’s rarely seen in a hundred years and also has the demeanor of a first daughter. She’s elegant and graceful, and one cannot find a single fault in her. Her zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting are all top-notch in the capital. Even a heavenly noble like Young Marquis is willing to serve under her…”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
The storyteller pondered over the man’s mind and secretly praised Bai Xianyu. Seeing that Xie Xingyun’s expression had improved a little, he laughed loudly. “What do you think of the way I have told the story, Young Marquis? If it’s good, I’ll tell it in this way in the future!”
Xie Xingyun nodded slightly and lifted the curtain with his back facing everyone.
As soon as he had gone in, the people downstairs felt as if they had been pardoned. They gasped for breath, beating their chests.
“Is the Young Marquis really only in his teens? This aura is too strong. It’s even scarier than those officials who have been officials for decades…”
“How can it be fake? He’s the only son of Eldest Princess Jing An, the biological sister of His Majesty, and the only grandson of the Prince of Nanzhao. Sooner or later, he’ll attack the Prince and be called a Prince with a different surname!”
“He said that he was the one who pestered the Bai Family’s girl. Do you believe him?”
“Tsk, how can what the Young Marquis said be fake? I’m afraid those storytellers and rumors are not reading the whole story. If he didn’t really like the Bai Family’s girl, why would he say such embarrassing words?”
“Do you guys think this is very embarrassing?” A young lady holding a baby said, “I think this Xie Xingyun is quite affectionate, but so what? If he doesn’t lower his pride, I’m afraid even his sweetheart will be wooed away by someone. Is face more important than his sweetheart?”
After a while, everyone started laughing and joking again. The people inside and outside the hall were very joyful.
Xie Xingyun sat back down and remained silent.
Gu Yu was truly shocked at this moment. “I originally thought that you were in love with this girl for the first time, so you cherished her especially. But why do I feel that it seems …”
He racked his brains before saying, “you’ve been coveting it for a long time, but couldn’t get it… Could it be that you are still childhood sweethearts?”
Xie Xingyun forced a smile and said, “Wrong, use your brain.”
GuYu,”…”
“I’m afraid the girl doesn’t like your cold and fierce personality.” Gu Yu spat out a sentence resentfully. “You deserve it.”
He was originally joking, but he caught a glimpse of the man opposite him. His wrist tightened, his knuckles slightly tensed and he paused in the air for two seconds before taking a sip of tea.
Gu Yu felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. He said dryly, “I was just joking. We’re all brothers, so my words were a little casual… Actually, what 1 said just now might not be the case. Don’t girls like someone cold and aloof like you nowadays?”
The tea entered his throat. If he had drunk the same amount of wine, his heart would not be in such pain now.
Xie Xingyun was not comforted at all. His eyes became even more downcast.”… she doesn’t like me.”
His voice was a little soft when he spoke. Gu Yu leaned over and asked, “What did you say just now?”
The cheers from the hall downstairs entered his ears, but Gu Yu did not feel half of this lively atmosphere in him at all.
It seemed that ever since he was young, Xie Xingyun had always been lonely and cold, with only a few people around him.
His voice was as cold as ice. “She doesn’t like me.”
No matter how he was like, she did not seem to like him anymore.
Whether he was gentle, loved to smile, or something else.
However, she had said before that she liked all kinds of him.
Gu Yu’s gaze was a little moved. After a moment of silence, he said in a rare serious tone, “1 also saw her briefly at the birthday banquet that day. 1 feel that Bai Xianyu would prefer the gentle kind of person, right? She looks like a very adorable and warm person. She’s probably quite suitable for that kind of man, but you don’t look gentle either. She’s obviously not interested in you. Why don’t you find another girl to like? Why make yourself look so miserable?”
Xie Xingyun chuckled and shook his head slowly.
A sense of defeat arose in his heart.
He could not even pretend to be a very gentle person.
However, he was cold to the bone.
Other than her, he could not be gentle to anyone else… How could he pray for her to love him?
Little Yu should have been well cared for and treasured by others, but she was injured all over by him.
If he was just allowed to go through everything she had experienced, it would be considered letting him off easy.
But he couldn’t let go of her..
