"..."

Yuan Tong'er felt speechless.

Qu Baiyu was silent for a moment and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Yuan Tong'er, why did you show up at the Li Family Escort Agency?"

There are more and more clues, and they are getting more and more confusing. He always felt that something terrible was about to emerge, but he didn't know what it was.

He looked at Yuan Tong'er again, with a complicated expression and scorching eyes.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

Yuan Tong'er looked back in response and met his gaze unexpectedly. She was stunned for a moment, and there was a trace of unknown light and shadow in her eyes.

Qu Baiyu still didn't believe her, and she felt a little disappointed in her heart.

Probably sensing something strange about her, Qu Baiyu turned around again.

"Whether this has anything to do with you or not, you are already involved. If you are really innocent, protect yourself..."

Qu Baiyu said suddenly.

He has a sense of alienation and boundaries. He is obviously a gentle person but wants to push everyone away, or is he an indifferent person who has already seen through it?

Yuan Tong'er couldn't tell the difference.

But this sense of boundary seems to have an invisible magic power that makes people want to get closer and explore it clearly.

"...Why are you looking at me like this?"

Qu Baiyu asked.

Yuan Tong'er was startled, then turned her face to the side, and said with some guilt: "Who is looking at you?"

There was a hint of guilt on her face, and she stood up and walked to the railing, looking towards the long street.

The long street was bustling with people, and Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but sigh. What are you thinking about so much? Life is like a mayfly's dream, you need to enjoy yourself in time.

If she hadn't done it, Qu Baiyu probably wouldn't have wronged her. If she had done it, at worst, she would have died, and maybe she would have gone back...

Qu Baiyu stood behind her at some point and looked down.

"Xiao Yi said, today is the New Year Temple Fair."

"New Year's Day Temple Fair?"

Yuan Tong'er turned around in surprise.

Qu Baiyu stood only half a step beside her. When Yuan Tong'er turned around, she almost stepped on his foot. She was shocked and took a step back, but she forgot that there was a railing behind her that only blocked her waist.

"Be careful."

With quick eyes and quick hands, Qu Baiyu put his arm around her waist.

Yuan Tong'er was just pulled into his arms. They were very close, so close that he could touch her as soon as he lowered his head.

The person in his arms has a pair of eyes like almond kernels, with shallow pupils reflecting the spring water, like a pair of crystal clear amber, which is shocking.

Qu Baiyu's eyes flickered and he pulled away the arm around her waist.

He calmly looked away and held his hand on the railing with his knuckles clean.

"Yuan Tong'er, you... have to stand still."

"……Oh."

Yuan Tong'er responded and stood still.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she found something to say and continued: "Your Highness, you like to sit here and enjoy the scenery?"

"Ah."

Qu Baiyu suddenly became patient and replied: "The scenery upstairs is very good. You can see the bustling streets and the long river that goes around the city."

Yuan Tong'er nodded. The sunlight from upstairs was so warm that it shone softly on people.

The long street is bustling with people and vendors hawking in an endless stream. It was completely opposite to the weird silence in the pavilion, which made Yuan Tong'er feel deeply uncomfortable.

She turned to look at Qu Baiyu's side face. It had sharp edges and corners, and the light gradually gradually changed from the base of his ears to the tip of his nose. The warm sunlight brightened his deep eyes, making people forget the time for a moment.

"are you going?"

Qu Baiyu suddenly asked.

Yuan Tong'er came back to her senses instantly and nodded in panic, "Go!...Where are you going?"

Qu Baiyu smiled again, crossed his arms and looked at her sideways, his previous indifference completely gone.

"It's a temple fair. Otherwise?"

Yuan Tong'er forced out a smile and replied, "I'm also talking about the temple fair."

She ran down the attic as if to escape. It felt like something would happen if I stayed for a second longer.

After leaving the small garden, they bumped into Cui Xiaoyi who was coming back.

Cui Xiaoyi's smiling face made him smile even if he saw a ghost, and asked: "Girl, are you going out to attend the temple fair?"

Yuan Tong'er nodded, turned around and asked in surprise: "How do you know?"

Cui Xiaoyi: "Oh! At the New Year's Day temple fair, all the gentlemen and young ladies love to join in the fun. We girls and gentlemen who go to the capital have all gone out to play early! You go quickly, there is a lot of fun!"

As he said this, he turned around and saw Qu Baiyu coming down from the pavilion.

Seeing Qu Baiyu walking out behind Yuan Tong'er, Cui Xiaoyi asked quickly: "I'm going too?"

Qu Baiyu paused, as if he had just thought of something, and glanced at Yuan Tong'er, who was looking back at him not far ahead.

The two people's eyes met by chance. Yuan Tong'er turned his head hurriedly and seemingly inadvertently, and walked out slowly.

Qu Baiyu said "hmm" and pretended to be casual and said: "Have a look."

Cui Xiaoyi blinked and murmured in his mind, could there be a change in the plan? He quickly followed Qu Baiyu.

After leaving the Prince's Mansion, we arrived at the main street within a short distance. The whole world was red, and the trees on both sides of the archway were covered with lanterns.

The street stalls sell a dazzling array of goods, and there are all kinds of performances that make it overwhelming. The shouts of selling one after another were very lively.

Yuan Tong'er was in the sea of ​​people, feeling the bustling and bustling here, feeling the wind here, feeling the snow here, and the people here.

Qu Baiyu followed her quietly, with warm eyes and unhurried steps, keeping a few steps away from her.

Yuan Tong'er could feel the gaze from behind, and there was an inexplicable emotion in her heart, like... throbbing.

She quickly shook her head, are you crazy? It’s only been a few days, what’s the matter with throbbing! Quickly recite it silently three times: love brain digs wild vegetables!

Isn’t it nice to go shopping?

Yuan Tong'er secretly thought, after all, he is a county prince, and she is just a country girl. Even if she is really attracted by this man, I am afraid that she will only be able to live as a concubine.

The idea of ​​family status has existed since ancient times.

But when she was in her prime, she just wanted to love herself properly.

Just think of Qubaiyu as a short-term meal ticket!

Thinking about it this way, I felt a lot more comfortable. I ran to an embroidery stall and started looking at it.

A bright red, round little cloth tiger caught her eye. It is covered with gold filigree, necklaces, cinnabar, and copper coins, and is very cute.

Yuan Tong'er couldn't put it down immediately. The vendors at the stalls were very clever and said they could attract wealth.

Upon hearing the word "lucky", Yuan Tong'er couldn't let go and looked back at Qu Baiyu.

"Your Majesty... Mr. Qu!"

Qu Baiyu was standing not far away, and when he saw her turning around to call him, he followed her.

Yuan Tong'er raised the cloth tiger in front of him and said, "I want it, but I don't have the money."

Qu Baiyu looked at the grinning little tiger and felt that it was somewhat similar to Yuan Tong'er, so he turned around and called "Xiao Yi!"

Cui Xiaoyi hurriedly caught up and paid.

Yuan Tong'er took the cloth tiger and asked excitedly: "I still want to buy a lot of things, is that okay?"

Qu Baiyu nodded, "Okay."

Cui Xiaoyi didn't know what was going on. He looked at his father who was only following Yuan Tong'er's shopping and thought to himself, is he really not doing anything serious anymore?
