"See Teacher Yuehua?" Xue Ke was stunned for a moment, then happily said, "I can help!"
"Let's go! I'll take you."
Before Ye Qiu could respond, Xue Ke enthusiastically took his hand and walked upstairs.
Given her status, she had a very good relationship with Tang Yuehua in Moon Pavilion and was considered Tang Yuehua's favorite student.
Therefore, no one was so blind as to come up and stop them.
"Then thank you, Xue Ke!"
"You're welcome. After you see Teacher Yuehua, I can even play the harp for you!"
Xue Ke held Ye Qiu's hand, her small face flushed, and her heart was very excited.
Ye Qiu smiled and did not answer, silently following behind her. It was better for him to be more discreet during this period.
The top floor of Moon Pavilion was Tang Yuehua's private space.
Without her permission, no one was allowed to go up.
What greeted their eyes was a huge hall, decorated even more elegantly than the first floor. Exotic flowers, rare plants, and ancient agarwood all exuded a delicate fragrance.
Around the hall were a circle of rooms with closed doors.
"Ye Qiu, wait for me."
"Mm!"
Xue Ke quietly walked to a room and gently knocked on the door.
Thump thump!
"Teacher Yuehua~"
Creak!
At Xue Ke's call, the door opened, and a beautiful woman walked out from inside.
Her long, gray-blue hair was coiled up with noble hair ornaments, two strands of bangs swayed, and the silver palace dress she wore was very fitting, making her whole person appear so elegant and natural.
Even when she frowned, it was still refreshing.
"Xue Ke... do you need something?"
Xue Ke playfully stuck out her tongue, knowing that what she was doing was against the rules.
"Teacher Yuehua, someone wants to visit you. His name is Ye Qiu!"
Saying that, Xue Ke trotted over to Ye Qiu's side and took his hand again.
Hearing Ye Qiu's name, Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled, somewhat losing her composure. Her gaze, filled with excitement, fell upon Ye Qiu.
Her eyes were clearly filled with tenderness and love.
"Hall Master Tang, I am Ye Qiu!"
Ye Qiu also noticed her gaze on him, which was surprisingly similar to Liu Erlong's, only lacking the aggressiveness.
"Hall Master Tang," Tang Yuehua murmured to herself, then, with tears in her eyes, she nodded slightly.
Xue Ke also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. She looked at Ye Qiu, then at Tang Yuehua.
"Xue Ke, you go down first!" Tang Yuehua said softly, her gentle voice already hoarse.
"Yes," Xue Ke was stunned, looked at Ye Qiu again, and then walked downstairs, looking back every few steps.
Once her figure disappeared, Tang Yuehua quickly walked towards Ye Qiu.
After learning that Ye Qiu was coming to see her, she had been doing her mental preparation every day.
But when she actually saw him, she still couldn't help but get excited.
She walked in front of Ye Qiu, just about to reach out and touch him.
Ye Qiu, however, almost recoiled.
Tang Yuehua froze for a moment, blinked her eyes, and as tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, she said softly,
"Come in with me!"
"Mm!" Ye Qiu nodded and followed closely, entering the very elegant and warm room.
In the center of the room was an exquisite harp, and around it were some everyday furnishings.
"Come sit here."
As soon as they entered, Tang Yuehua took Ye Qiu's hand and led him to the table, pulling him down to sit.
Ye Qiu looked at the two cups of steaming tea on the table.
His heart was filled with suspicion.
Just now, there seemed to be someone else in this room?!
"Drink tea..." Tang Yuehua obviously noticed this too, but she didn't care, pushing a cup of hot tea in front of Ye Qiu.
"Mm, thank you!"
Ye Qiu was not polite either, gently picked it up and took a sip, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Besides the tea fragrance, there seemed to be another taste?
Tang Yuehua made no move, just quietly watched Ye Qiu's every move, her eyes full of memories and a look of infatuation.
Erlong Jie was right, he was indeed not as mature and steady now.
Being stared at by her like this, Ye Qiu was also a bit overwhelmed.
"Hall Master Tang."
"Call me Yuehua, okay?"
Tang Yuehua stared at him steadily, just smiling gently, her tone carrying a hint of pleading.
"Yuehua..."
"Mm!" Just a single address made Tang Yuehua shed a few more tears.
She wasn't like Liu Erlong; although she really wanted to throw herself into his arms, she knew in her heart that he wasn't completely him yet.
"Hoo~" Tang Yuehua gently wiped away her tears. Suddenly, a golden ring fell from above her head and then expanded.
The Domain named 'Noble Ring' calmed both Ye Qiu's and her own hearts significantly.
"You seem a little afraid to see me? Is it because of Tang Hao's matter?"
Just as Ye Qiu was somewhat surprised by the marvel of her Domain, Tang Yuehua had already smiled and asked.
"You know?!"
Ye Qiu looked at her in surprise. The name Tang Hao, when mentioned by her, seemed to carry no special emotion, not even that of a close relative?
"Roughly, yes!" Tang Yuehua nodded gently, and said blandly, "Actually, you don't need to care about his life or death at all, and I won't either..."
"Why do you say that? Aren't you his biological younger sister?" Ye Qiu was full of confusion.
"I can't say that!"
"..."
Tang Yuehua's voice suddenly became a little playful, which made Ye Qiu feel very strange.
Although she looked only in her twenties, she had such a playful and cute demeanor, the contrast was too great.
"Anyway... I don't owe those two brothers anything anymore!" Tang Yuehua, however, didn't care. She had just found the state she was in when she was with Ye Xiu back then.
"Erlong Jie has already told me what you want to know! I'm sorry... I..."
Under Ye Qiu's surprised gaze, Tang Yuehua still couldn't hold back. Before she finished speaking, she got up and sat down beside Ye Qiu.
"Do you mind if I lean on your shoulder?" Her beautiful face was flushed, and her soft hand gently squeezed Ye Qiu's forearm, her voice trembling.
Ye Qiu turned his head to meet her gaze, looking at the shimmering light in her eyes, and slowly shook his head.
"Thank you~" Tang Yuehua's lips curved into an alluring smile, both restrained and wild, as she tightly embraced Ye Qiu's arm, tucking it between her curves, and gently leaned her head on his shoulder.
Looking at the face so close, smelling the long-lost fragrance, Tang Yuehua pursed her red lips, overcome with emotion, wanting to take a small taste, yet unable to muster the strength.
She could only wallow in self-pity in her heart.
With the beautiful woman beside him, Ye Qiu felt as if half of his body was stuck in quicksand, unable to pull free.
A faint, elegant fragrance lingered at his nostrils, and her hair brushed against Ye Qiu's cheek.
Ye Qiu finally understood Cao Cao; indeed, one should not touch mature women, for there is only a difference between once and countless times!
His Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.
"Yuehua, I wonder if you know about those matters?"
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
