Bai Qingqing flashed a bright smile, full of familiarity. "If I don't hold you back, are you really going to waste your breath on them? What a perfect day, such a wonderful poetry gathering, a place of talent and wisdom. It's a sha to waste ti on them."
She moved a little closer to Mo Kexin. "I overheard a bit, were you standing up for ?"
Mo Kexin imdiately blushed, jumping in place. "Who’s standing up for you! Don't flatter yourself! I just—I just can't stand their attitude!"
"I get it, I get it. I’m just asking, there’s no need to be embarrassed."
"I’m not embarrassed!"
Mo Kexin wanted to explain with all her might, but Bai Qingqing’s indulgent and considerate deanor only made her more frustrated.
"As for their thoughts and sches, I don’t care. I wasn’t planning on getting involved with the Fu family anyway. Look at this poetry gathering…"
Bai Qingqing pointed to the crowd not far away. Mo Kexin glanced over, puzzled, and heard her continue, "Talented youths everywhere, I heard there will be… what’s-his-na, and what’s-his-na, both famous, unmatched scholars! We just don’t get out enough, our horizons are too narrow. When we see soone, we think they're dragons among n, but honestly, once you’ve seen more, they’re nothing special."
After she finished speaking, she noticed Mo Kexin staring at her with a strange look. "You’re not like before."
"Really? So, do you prefer the old , or the new ?"

The corners of Bai Qingqing's soft pink lips seed to have a magical effect, and Mo Kexin blurted out unconsciously, "Well, I prefer the current you... wait, why would I like you?"
She realized what she said and her forehead twitched, but when she saw Bai Qingqing looking hurt, one hand pressed to her chest, she was taken aback.
"But I quite like you, you don’t like ? Why not? What’s wrong with ? Take another look."
Mo Kexin: "..."
She didn’t know why she had fled in such a panic. As she walked further away, she seed to hear Bai Qingqing’s laughter behind her, but she didn’t dare to turn back and confirm it.
What is going on!
Bai Qingqing couldn’t stop laughing. "I never thought Mo Kexin could be this interesting. What a loss, what a loss."
Zi Dai shook her head helplessly. "Miss, why did you tease Miss Mo? You’ve scared her off."
"I wasn’t teasing her, I really do like her. A temperant like hers is rare, it shouldn’t be disturbed by little loves and infatuations."
"But what if she’s truly deeply in love with Young Master Fu and can’t let go?"
"That’s why I want her to broaden her horizons. Didn’t we have all sorts of young masters here today? Perhaps after seeing them, she’ll realize that there’s always soone better, and countless talented people in the world. Why limit herself to just one? Isn’t that a pity?"
Bai Qingqing, feeling free to speak her mind since there was no one around, was suddenly interrupted by a soft laugh. Her expression changed, and she looked around. She soon saw soone leisurely stepping out from behind a corner, greeting her before she could speak. "I wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping, it’s just… I ca first."
Bai Qingqing then noticed that the corner behind the wall was a resting spot for people. Judging by the tea cups on the stone table, it was clear that he had been there for quite so ti.
One should never rebuke a person with a smiling face. His deanor was so pleasant, and his appearance so handso and refined, with a gentle tone, it was hard not to feel a sense of goodwill.
"I must have disturbed Young Master’s leisure. I owe you an apology."
Bai Qingqing just wanted to leave quickly. Thinking of what she had just said, her toes curled up inside her embroidered shoes.
