"Do you think the lives of these ordinary people... could they be happier than your life among the royal nobility in the court?"
Facing Zhongli Wuzhi’s question, Chinian didn’t know how to respond for a mont.
She found herself lost in thought.
Zhongli Wuzhi didn’t rush her, but soon he answered his own question, "Actually, not necessarily."
"..."
"Whether born into the Royal Family, a wealthy family, or an exceedingly ordinary average family... people have the sa troubles."
Chinian looked at Zhongli Wuzhi’s profile, from a slightly rear angle, she could see his narrow eyes open, clearly revealing a trace of sorrow.
To say sorrow was right, as was to say a deep blue lancholy.
Sohow, the sorrow and lancholy she knew nothing about also weighed on her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Being born into the Royal Family, yet not even having control over one’s own marriage, being in a wealthy family, constantly prioritizing the family’s reputation, being in an average family, perhaps accidentally getting crushed by economic realities."
Zhongli Wuzhi let out a long sigh and said lightly.
Chinian gently tapped Zhongli Wuzhi.
Zhongli Wuzhi glanced at her... and then she saw her pat his shoulder and then point at herself.
He sat still, his gaze also fixed firmly on her.
Then she saw Chinian take out her phone, type sothing, and hand it to Zhongli to see,
——What troubles do you have?
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi looked at the few simple characters on the screen and was silent for quite a while.
Chinian pursed her lips and continued to type,
——You can tell your troubles; I won’t tell anyone else.
She really wanted to know why this carefree man, who could drive a sports car on the highway at 180 miles an hour, find the tastiest food in the chaotic snack street, and queue under the sun to enter attractions like ordinary people...
Why did he show such a lancholy, even sowhat sorrowful look just now?
It was like he had so unsolvable, heartbreaking issue.
Zhongli Wuzhi fixed his gaze on her, a beautiful Princess who looked just like a doll, yet he had sohow managed to dress her up as a tomboy.
A baseball cap hid her yellow hair.
"I don’t have any troubling matters... If I have to say sothing, well... it might just be the trouble of being so handso and so exceptional..."
He touched his chin seriously, with a face full of narcissism.
Chinian blinked, truly believing she had heard wrong for a mont.
How could soone... say such narcissistic words without feeling the slightest bit of sha?
After a mont of silence, Zhongli Wuzhi was the first to laugh, followed shortly by Chinian, unable to keep her expression straight.
The two of them sat on the stone bench, giggling foolishly.
Chinian quickly typed on her phone and then handed it to Zhongli Wuzhi to read,
——Thank you, Zhongli, I think today is the happiest and most carefree day I’ve had since I ca to the country G.
Zhongli glanced at the phone screen and then looked away, casually saying,
"The day isn’t over yet!"
Chinian was taken aback.
Then she saw Zhongli Wuzhi stand up,
"Co on, let’s go to the next place. Today we’re going to make sure you have a blast."
He walked quickly, and for a mont Chinian almost couldn’t keep up; she followed Zhongli with a jog.
Zhongli Wuzhi could hear the jog behind him but didn’t deliberately wait for her.
He took Chinian to the nearest ocean park, where they enjoyed several attractions and Chinian was thrilled.
When it was about ti, they bought two drinks and walked back while sipping them.
The sun descended, and the sunset, like an explosion of bright red from a paintbox, spread across half the sky.
Back in the car, Chinian fastened her seatbelt, holding a beverage in her hand.
"Finish your drink," Zhongli Wuzhi said attentively, "so it doesn’t spill if the car starts going too fast."
Chinian nodded.
Zhongli Wuzhi turned on the music, and they sat side by side in the car, with Zhongli Wuzhi leaning on the seat, his peripheral vision catching Chinian seriously drinking her beverage.
His fingers tapped on the steering wheel, following the rhythm of the music.
Chinian felt an itch in front of her nose and couldn’t help but rub it before slightly turning her head. Zhongli Wuzhi then saw that half of the mustache above Chinian’s mouth had been blown away.
The whole sight was quite comical.
Chinian seed to realize that half of her mustache had been blown away and was about to pull it off when Zhongli Wuzhi handed her a tissue,
"Let help you."
Chinian stopped moving, only to see Zhongli Wuzhi carefully remove the remaining half.
"Did it hurt when I pulled it off?" Zhongli Wuzhi asked.
His gentle inquiries also stirred Chinian’s heart.
She shook her head.
Zhongli Wuzhi then took off her hat, and her bundled yellow hair naturally fell loose.
After removing the sunglasses perched on her small nose bridge, her delicate and pretty doll-like face finally erged.
Zhongli Wuzhi t her eyes, and such a gaze was truly startling and panic-inducing.
Especially for Chinian.
She swallowed and unconsciously wanted to shift her gaze away.
However, just as she was about to look away, Zhongli Wuzhi spoke,
"Being born so beautiful, have you ever resented... not being able to speak?"
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi looked straight ahead, where the sunset, separated by the car window glass, seed to wave at them.
Chinian hugged her phone, typing rapidly.
Zhongli Wuzhi heard the sound but didn’t turn his head to look just yet.
After a while, Chinian passed her phone in front of him,
——Since you also say I’m beautiful, there’s nothing for to resent.
"..."
Zhongli was montarily lost for words.
His hand gripping the steering wheel also stiffened a bit.
Chinian’s face was flushed, and her gaze had fallen on the black bracelet tied around Zhongli Wuzhi’s left hand.
Typing swiftly on her phone, she then handed it to him to read,
——Do you like this bracelet?
Zhongli Wuzhi shook his hand slightly, then smiled, "I like it very much."
——I’m very glad that you like it.
The way Chinian smiled was truly beautiful, as if her tender and refined gentle smile could lt even ice and snow...
"Can you now tell what it ans to give soone a bracelet upon first eting in your country M?"
Chinian’s smile froze for a mont, but she soon shook her head,
——I can’t tell you yet. You will know in the future.
Chinian wanted to keep a bit of mystery, and Zhongli Wuzhi took another look at her, saw her timidly dodging his gaze, and with a slight raise of his lips, said nothing more.
