As for the latter——
Actually, there is no need to say much. The main purpose is to adapt to this city where I will probably live for a few years.
And see if she is lucky enough to meet the unlucky guys who will be tormented by her in this life.
The mission in this life is very strange. There are only two names highlighted as the target that will make her regret for the rest of her life.
One is the second young master Xingqiu, who has some connection with Xiao Yunshang. The other is Miss Hutao from Wangshengtang family.
As for the other names, they are still unknown, perhaps because they have not met the requirements, or maybe Mr. Voice is deliberately keeping people in suspense.
But no matter which one, judging from the information provided by Mr. Voice, it is easy for these two heavyweight players to become friends, but if they want to have a deep relationship, they have to put in a lot of effort.
Especially the little girl Walnut. As the heir of the Wangsheng Hall, wouldn’t it be against the rules of the sect to expect her to be obsessed with a dead person?
In contrast, Master Xingqiu was able to quickly become a good friend of bookworms by using topics related to martial arts.
It should not be particularly difficult to leave someone with regrets in their hearts. The only thing you need to pay attention to is how to grasp the first impression.
Although it was strange to say this, she had indeed not met the other party yet, and the head of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce seemed to be intentionally preventing the two from meeting.
If we look at it from the perspective of changing positions, she can actually understand the other party's reasons for doing so.
After all, which father would want his son to marry a "jinx"?
What if my husband’s family is killed?
Yun Chang couldn't really tell whether this conclusion about the fate of being alone was true or false, but if she had to say it, it seemed to be correct?
On the continent of Teyvat, the superstitious stories about ghosts and gods in the past were not actually made up by parents to scare their children, but legends left behind by real evil creatures that wreaked havoc.
By the way, she had a strong affinity with brooms in her previous life. Even if someone pointed at her nose and called her a broom, she wouldn't be able to refute it, right?
The girl, trying to find joy in her misery, spent the agonizing time on the journey. When she came to her senses, she had already reached the gate of the side courtyard.
Yunchang straightened her back and pushed the door open.
rustle--
As soon as I opened the door, a breeze blew through the hall, caressing my hair. The green bamboo in the courtyard also swayed its leaves in the wind.
It was so comfortable. Whether it was the dust, the humidity, or the aroma of delicious food wafting from the distant streets, they were all mixed together over the years to create the flavor that Yun Chang liked.
This made her miss the days when she could travel freely on a broomstick. It was a pity that the Eye of God was obviously not something that could be preserved after reincarnation.
Besides, this is not Mondstadt. Even if we want to pray to the gods, we should pray to the god of Liyue, Lord Geolord, right?
For example, praying that she can pass every hurdle she encounters...
After all, she is the kind of believer who would only think of God for help when she encounters problems, right?
Looking at the threshold that seemed to be blocking her way like a "Buzhou Mountain", Yun Shang was in a dilemma for a moment. It was already difficult for a girl to push the wheelchair with her own strength, and it would be a bit troublesome to cross the threshold which was about three or four centimeters high.
Fortunately, although the head of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce settled her in a separate courtyard, he also asked servants to take care of her and keep an eye on her at all times.
During the three months when she had to stay at home, she relied on the servants to bring her food and clothes, and later in the evening some pretty maids would come to help her take a bath.
From a living perspective, at least it is much better than Youya's back then...
After thanking the servant who helped her, Yun Shang politely declined his request to accompany her. She just asked for directions to Wanwen Collection and continued on her journey leisurely.
Because the streets were very smooth, Yunchang had a smooth journey. Even if she was occasionally worried about going in the wrong direction, there were always many enthusiastic passers-by who showed her the way.
Although he often asked why her parents didn't follow her, when he saw the girl's sad expression at the right time, he quickly stopped asking questions and just looked at her with pity.
Just like that, with the help of an uncle from the Qianyan Army who passed by, Yun Shang, who felt physically tired, enjoyed the special care obtained by "gaining sympathy".
The Wanwen Collection House in the attic finally came into view.
Chapter 3: Just a minor role
However, being located in the attic meant that for someone like her in a wheelchair, getting up there was no more difficult than climbing up Mount Tianheng.
The disadvantages of having mobility problems always far outweigh the advantages. It does make young girls more lovable, but the cost is at the expense of various inconveniences in life.
If possible, she still hopes to be able to take care of herself instead of relying on others to take care of her for everything.
This will not only make you lazy, but also make you subconsciously dependent on others.
However, even if you want to be strong now, you still have to face a problem——
Should I ask someone to bring it up for me, or should I just leave the book here and walk away?
We can't let her just leave a poem with her own name here and then wait for the proprietress of Wanwen Collection to decipher the secret herself.
That's not very polite.
Just when the girl was in trouble, a handsome boy with dark blue bangs and asymmetrical hair walked down from the attic.
His face was more feminine, but his behavior did not give people a sissy feeling. Instead, it made Yun Shang feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This guy... must be a bookworm. Whether it's the dangerous action of reading a book while walking down the stairs, or the smile that curls up when he sees something interesting.
All these made Yun Shang see the shadow of his past. Although it may sound a bit "self-boasting" to say this, when the girl was bookworm-like, she was more worrying than what he is showing now.
Therefore, she has a natural liking for people who exude the same "bookworm companion" temperament.
More importantly--
As the saying goes, you can find something without any effort after searching everywhere. She hadn't even started searching yet she met the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Could it be said that there was some kind of power in the universe that brought these bookworms together?
She was laughing in her heart and just waited patiently for Xingqiu to walk down the stairs. Then, when he subconsciously looked at her, the girl showed a cunning smile like a cat.
"—It was the rabbit before, then the deer, and now you."
This is a strange sentence that makes no sense to others and it is difficult to understand its true meaning.
But for Xingqiu, the first two sentences of this sentence have another meaning - "Please read my chivalry from the desperate situation." This refers to the awareness of giving up everything, and the deer is the hope of new life in despair.
If these three sentences are used together in this first meeting between two strangers, then it will have a new meaning.
His face immediately turned red, and he covered his cheeks with the book, looking at the shameless girl with embarrassed eyes.
To be fair, even Xingqiu had never seen a girl more chivalrous than her.
More importantly, in addition to the frank and bold speech, the unique resonance among bookworms also made him happy.
It was as if all the good qualities that he preferred were concentrated in her alone.
"Hmm? You can't figure it out, or you figured it out but thought of it the wrong way?"
The girl winked at him playfully and gently placed her finger on her pink lips.
"This——young hero? Sir? Benefactor?"
“Wow?! What are you talking about? It’s so embarrassing in broad daylight!”
As expected, Xingqiu's ears turned red. The innocent young man always found it difficult to withstand such a title.
If the first one is still okay, then the last one is too suggestive!
"Haha. Then may I ask your benefactor's name?"
"Okay, okay, I'm Xingqiu. Oh... that's not right! I've already told you that I'm not your benefactor, and I don't even remember when I ever showed you any favor."
Xingqiu tried hard to recognize the other person's face, because as the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, whether he wanted to or not, it was a "compulsory course" for him to get to know some big shots in the business world and their offspring. Not to mention that Liyue valued business, so such personal interactions were more frequent.
But no matter how hard he tried to think about the girl in front of him, he couldn't remember her at all. It would be better to say that if he had ever seen such a special girl, there was no way he would forget her.
The other party was not in a hurry either. He just slowly took out the book from his arms and handed it to him solemnly.
"Don't be impatient, benefactor. Please read this book and think about it——"
"Hmm... Isn't this the book 'The Lone Sword in the Wilderness' that I wanted to borrow a while ago? It was selling so well that I couldn't get away, and by the time I got there it was too late. I asked the lady boss, and she said the last copy had been borrowed."
Xingqiu had heard of the martial arts novel in his hand for a long time, but this was the first time he actually got his hands on the real thing.
Although it's not that he didn't have Mora to buy it, but because the book sold so well, Wanwen Collection was out of stock and the next batch would have to wait until next month.
And if he were to ask other enthusiasts to buy it, with his limited spare change, he wouldn't even be able to afford the sincerity price.
If I really took out all my private money, I would probably only be able to read a few pages of other serialized books every day in Wanwen Collection this month, and then I would have to leave in disappointment.
Therefore, he came early every day to ask if there were any books that had been borrowed and returned. However, there was no news for several days in a row, but he heard the boss lady complaining that someone had borrowed a book and did not return it on time.
This kind of thing is very common in Wanwen Collection. Many people who borrow books either forget about them after reading them, or put them aside while doing other things. When they want to find them, they are gone.
As a result, Xingqiu also began to dislike those people who borrowed books and didn't return them.
If we were to say what Xingqiu hates the most, eating carrots would be one of them, followed by other people's vulgar speculations about the motives of those "knights".
Status, fame, secret deals... Whenever Xingqiu heard someone making up stories about the true intentions of a knight like this, he would remain calm, but in his heart he had already blacklisted that person, placing him lower than the carrot he hated the most.
Things like borrowing books and not returning them probably fall somewhere in between these two.
Could it be that this girl in front of him, who was quite pleasing to his eye, was also such a shameless person?
When Xingqiu looked at her a little more, he realized that the girl was actually sitting in a wheelchair. Although her waist was straight and her expression did not look sick, based on his previously trained eyesight, he could tell that the girl was not pretending to be sick to gain sympathy from others.
It was a genuine... imperfect body. Thinking of this, Xingqiu guiltily withdrew his gaze from the person, and quickly lowered his head to apologize.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry—"
"Your words are too kind. After all, I am asking for something. If you don't feel offended by dragging you on this pirate ship without any explanation, I should be grateful to you."
"Uh... the tone of your voice is so strange... it makes me feel embarrassed and annoyed."
"I saw that you are also a scholar, so I thought of performing an impromptu show. I am a girl with limited knowledge, so please forgive me."
Yun Shang paused and said in a resentful tone.
"Also, although it was my fault for not introducing myself first, it is somewhat sad that you are not curious about me."
"Eh? Is there such a reason? No... At this time, I should say - may I ask for your name, young lady?"
As Xingqiu spoke in a slightly shy tone, Yunchang smiled.
"My name is Yunshang. I am just an insignificant little character. I will have to rely on you in the future."
Chapter 4 No Mom, No Dad, No Family
"In other words, you were sick at home before, so you couldn't come back on time..."
After Xingqiu learned the whole story, the last bit of resentment in his heart was completely dispelled. He immediately patted his chest and said that he would help her return the book and would also act as a lobbyist for the girl.
So that she wouldn't be scolded by the boss lady. After all, no matter how clever they are, children are still children. They always have a natural awe of adults, right?
"That's right. Lord Lao En helped me with this matter—"
Yunshang placed her hands on her knees and spoke in a gentle tone.
"It's okay, it's okay. A hero is one who serves his country and his people. Uh... ahem! Anyway, Miss Yunshang, let's go up first."
As if some taboos were mentioned, Xingqiu quickly stopped talking about topics like knights and instead pulled the girl's arm.
"Hey, benefactor, are you going to take me with you?" The girl pretended to be surprised and asked, "Are you born with supernatural powers? Can you lift a tripod at the age of nine?"
"Well... that's not possible, but you're not as heavy as the tripod, right?"
"If you say such disrespectful words again next time, I will attack you violently and hurt you."
After staring fiercely at the soft flesh on the other person's waist, Yun Shang withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, and her smile became even deeper.
"sorry!"
Xingqiu apologized honestly.
I don't know why. I used to be considered eloquent, but in front of this person, I always felt that it was good enough if I could use two or three of my tricks.
"Yeah. It's a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. I'll forgive you this time, but as compensation..."
Yun Shang looked at him with a hint of amusement in her expression.
"Are you going to carry me up there on your back, or are you going to hold me in your arms? If that's the case, I'll have to be more cautious."
"Huh?! Hug, hug, hug, etc. Even if a child doesn't know the Four Books and Five Classics and hasn't even attended a private school yet, he knows that you can't do that!"
"Oh? So, my benefactor knew about the difference between men and women so early on?"
"Not really. My father mentioned that I might have a fiancée a while ago, but he stopped talking about it after my eldest brother and mother protested. Fortunately, I was able to catch up on a lot of knowledge at that time. No, why am I talking about this? You wait here for a while. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Xingqiu picked up the martial arts novel and ran upstairs as if escaping from a panic.
Yun Chang looked at his back with interest. It was always pleasant to tease a fellow bookworm.
