Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 525: Joke

"You can call me whatever you like." Tie Hongyan said. After saying that, she suddenly realized that when she came out of Bakong Palace just now, Tie Wandao had just told her, "All you have to do is be vigilant." But she found that when she faced Le Yu, she seemed to naturally believe that she would not harm herself, so when she picked up the paper and chased Le Yu, she did not think much about anything else. At this moment, she deliberately smiled and joked with Le Yu: "The paper I picked up just now, is it poisonous?"

Unexpectedly, Le Yu panicked and said, "How is that possible? Young Patriarch, look, I took it too, it's okay!"

Seeing that she actually took it seriously, Tie Hongyan found it very funny and laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He said, "Could it be that the poison will take effect after a while?"

"Young Patriarch, why do you ask that? Don't you believe me?" Le Yu asked seriously.

"Haha! I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously! Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. If I really suspected that the paper was poisonous, would I have picked it up and brought it to you directly? Even if I wanted to pick it up, I would have used a few leaves or something else to separate my hands from the paper, right? Like I have already touched it with my hand, and then I ask you 'It's not poisonous, right?' It is obvious that I trust you and that is why I am joking with you." Tie Hongyan laughed.

Le Yu also smiled and said, "I'm really happy that you trust me so much! In fact, grandpa told me that I still need to be careful in Tiecang Court. He always said that I am careless and not cautious enough." After saying that, she felt that she was a little too outspoken when speaking to Tie Hongyan.

"I have always had a good impression of you, so I naturally believed it. Elder Lian is right, it is always better to be cautious no matter where you are. Do you think you are bold enough to trust me? I picked up the paper you dropped on the ground and handed it to you, and you took it without hesitation. Aren't you worried that I had poisoned the paper before?" Tie Hongyan joked again.

This time, Le Yu did not take the joke seriously, but smiled and said, "You are joking again. In fact, I never thought of this. However, even if I thought that someone might poison the paper after picking it up, I would not suspect you of poisoning me when I saw that you handed it to me!"

"Haha, this time you finally didn't think I was serious. Between you and me as sisters, we only need to trust each other, not be suspicious, don't you think?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Le Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's just that you and I are both independent individuals, and individuals should be respected. We should have personal secrets that we don't want the other person to know, but we should never have the intention to harm the other person. Do you think this is a good idea?"

"Of course! No independent individual in the world can absolutely and completely merge with another independent individual. Even if they trust each other, love each other, and have a close relationship with each other, they still need their own independent space. I completely agree with what you said. We can have our own secrets and keep some reservations from each other, but we must never have the intention to harm each other!" Tie Hongyan said.

"Before I said that, I was wondering if you would mistakenly think that I was not sincere enough towards you. I have met people who think so before. People who hold that view think that as long as you keep a piece of your own private space and don't let him enter, you haven't truly accepted him as a good friend. But I don't think so!" Le Yu said.
