“…Has everyone heard of Bai Xianyu from the capital’s Bai Family and the Marquis of the Northern Garrison’s first son, Xie Xingyun?”
Bai Xianyu almost spat out a mouthful of tea and coughed a few times.
On the other side, Xie Xingyun straightened up and glanced at the girl who was drinking. Then, he glanced downstairs and narrowed his eyes.
Ji Shuang also sat up and said in a daze, “Who is he talking about?”
Bai Xianyu finished the water and coughed twice. “It seems to be about me and Xie Xingyun.”
Ji Shuang,”…”
Among them, only Gu Yu was the most excited. He closed his fan and immediately stuck his body out. He was worried that he would not know what was going on between the two of them. He probably would not be able to get anything out of Xie Xingyun, so it was just the right time for someone to give him an answer.
The storyteller did not notice that the parties in question were above him at all. He chuckled and said, “From everyone’s reaction, you should know these two people. This pair of immortal-like figures can be said to be famous throughout the capital. It can be said that no woman in the capital is not envious of Bai Xianyu, and no young man in the capital is not envious of Xie Xingyun.”
“Not long ago, there were also rumors that Bai Xianyu and Xie Xingyun were seen walking in the streets together. Ever since then, the stories of these two people have been constantly brought to the teahouse. However, they’re all speculations and can’t be taken seriously. There’s always some missing information. Hehe, I’m not talented. It took me great effort to figure out the ins and outs of their love-hate relationship. Listen to me carefully!”
“I’d love to hear that, sir!”
“What is it!”
The tea guests urged him one after another. They all craned their necks, afraid that they would not hear him clearly.
This was the first time Bai Xianyu had heard about herself in a teahouse. Her expression was a little subtle.
Ji Shuang was actually quite curious about the relationship between the two of them, but it seemed that Little Yu was not interested in that man, so she did not ask.
“… Bai Xianyu, it’s not an exaggeration to say that she’s the number one beauty of Great Kui. There was once a student who entered the capital to take the exam and saw her, who was only 12 years old, beside her third brother. At that time, she was already amazing. She was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also gentle and agile. The student immediately composed the next song, Goddess Luo, and her name instantly shook the capital!”
Bai Xianyu hissed softly, feeling a little uncomfortable from the praise.
Ji Shuang smiled and listened excitedly.
“As for Xie Xingyun, he’s also a dragon among men. When he was young, he trained in the military camp of the Prince of Nanzhao. At a young age, he followed his grandfather to the battlefield. If Eldest Princess Jing An hadn’t missed her son and brought him back to the capital, he probably wouldn’t be inferior to someone with outstanding achievements like Bai Tanshen. However, even when he returned to the capital, in terms of brawn, he’s powerful in martial arts and in terms of brains, he has the ability to govern the country! The Zhuangyuan scholar enters Hanlin and is deeply valued by the Emperor. I’m afraid it won’t be long before he becomes a high-ranking official.”
“There were even rumors in the capital about such a pair of people who didn’t interact much. Hence, on that day when Bai Xianyu and Xie Xingyun went shopping together, it attracted the attention of many people.”
“But this happened after the Young Marquis took the top spot in the imperial examination and expressed his goodwill to the Bai Family’s young lady. It could be deduced that Bai Xianyu didn’t understand Xie Xingyun’s feelings at that time. After receiving flowers that day, she was at a loss and threw them to him again. However, after Bai Xianyu understood his feelings, she regretted her actions that day and started to woo her husband, so that scene happened…”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
Ji Shuang,”…”
Xiao Zheng,”…”
Gu Yu,”!”
“Brother Xingyun is quite lucky with women. Such a beauty actually came to woo you! Wait…” Gu Yu clicked his tongue and touched his chin as he asked, “Don’t tell me you did something to let her down, so she’s ignoring you now?”
Xie Xingyun did not say anything and silently took a sip of tea.
Gu Yu shook his head repeatedly. “I see… Sigh, then I can only say that you deserve it.”
Xie Xingyun did not refute. From the voices downstairs, they were still not satisfied.
“I didn’t expect Bai Xianyu to be unable to move Xie Xingyun’s heart.”
“Who asked her to play hard to get? No wonder the Young Marquis doesn’t like her. Whoever marries such a promiscuous woman will be unlucky.”
Ji Shuang frowned and looked at the woman who spoke, saying coldly, “Can you say that again?”
That woman did not know Ji Shuang. She raised her head and said arrogantly, “I’ll say it again. She…”
At this moment, a chopstick knocked the tea out of the woman’s hand, and a red mark immediately appeared on her mouth.
“Ah! Who is it!”
Puzzled, Ji Shuang looked to the side.
Xie Xingyun closed his eyes coldly. His whole body was icy.
Xiao Zheng, who was beside him, held the remaining chopstick in his hand and seemed to be eager to try..
