Her Royal Highness The Princess From A Thousand Years Ago

On the afternoon of the second day after Shen Yanbing left, Li Mingyue welcomed an unexpected guest at home.

It was rare for her not to go to the studio, and she practiced the line draft alone under the guidance of Teacher Liu Yu, when the doorbell display at the entrance suddenly lit up and there was a call.

Li Mingyue didn't make any fuss anymore - the delivery guy would usually appear here when he delivered things.

But this time it was different. She glanced at the screen and saw a woman wearing a peaked cap and holding a cardboard box.

"Shen Yanbing!"

The woman's voice came through the intercom quickly, Li Mingyue frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

—Do not open the door to strangers.

The visitor was quite shocked when he heard the strange female voice, and asked almost angrily, "Who are you?"

If the other party hadn't reported Shen Yanbing's name at the beginning, Li Mingyue would have hung up the call directly.

Two seconds later, Li Mingyue still hung up the call.

The other party finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, rang the doorbell again, and went straight to the point: "Tell Shen Yanbing that Xu Nuo will return the things."

Li Mingyue's tone was cold: "She's not at home."

Xu Nuo's hand holding the cardboard box was a little numb, and he put the things on the ground, then burst into anger: "Who the hell are you?"

Li Mingyue clasped her arms and said in a cold voice, "What's your relationship with Shen Yanbing?"

She almost never called "Shen Yanbing" like this, but at this moment, the three words blurted out so smoothly, as if she had silently recited them countless times in her heart.

Miss Xu Nuo lost her temper and sneered, "I'm her girlfriend, where did you come from?"

girlfriend.

Li Mingyue was slightly surprised, but her tone was even colder: "I've never heard of you."

Xu Nuo was instantly speechless, his palms were clenched tightly, his nails pierced into his flesh, and his complexion was extremely ugly.

There were people coming and going in the back, her makeup was exquisite, and she managed to maintain her last decency. She raised her head and smiled distortedly: "Please tell her that I am getting married, at the end of the year, with Qiu Feng."

After speaking, she left angrily, and she threw the cardboard box into the dustbin together.

Li Mingyue looked at the extinguished display screen, and returned to the desk after a while.

Shen Yanbing has a girlfriend.

She sorted out all the memories quickly, and came to the conclusion that they had already been divided.

When she picked up the brush, she was a little absent-minded. Shen Yanbing seldom talked about personal matters with her—his feelings were kept secret, and his family was rarely mentioned, and work had nothing to do with her.

She and Shen Yanbing have been under the same roof for so long, but they have never really approached each other.

Liming Yueshen was wandering and writing, her thoughts were flying, and when she woke up, the rice paper was already filled with countless "Shen Yanbing".

She closed her eyes, remembering that last time on the wet beach, she wrote these three words for Shen Yanbing to read, and the other party drew a crescent moon for her with a smile.

Li Mingyue stared fixedly at the wet ink marks, and sat on the chair with relaxed muscles.

For the first time, she took the initiative to call Shen Yanbing.

But she didn't know where to start.

"Here?" When Shen Yanbing's familiar voice came, the ice in Li Mingyue's heart suddenly melted slowly, and she restrained her voice and said, "I'm here."

Li Mingyue's proud attention has collapsed at this moment, and she can't help but wander, her soul floats up, and she always has the illusion that another person is speaking when she speaks.

She asked in a strange way: "Then will you like me?"

Li Mingyue closed her eyes hard, and when she opened her eyes again, her soul returned to her place in an instant—what did she say!

Shen Yanbing didn't pretend to be wrong.

Li Mingyue asked her girlfriend's liking, she was sure.

— which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"You're too young." Shen Yanbing was sober, her tone was not as smiling and casual as usual.

Li Mingyue was silent, and when the other side was about to hang up, she finally spoke.

"I'm not a child."

"According to modern calculations, I have already grown up."

Her tone was as flat as Shen Yanbing's, but she could hear a bit of stubbornness when she listened carefully.

Shen Yanbing finally smiled: "You are in modern times, but you are not yet independent."

She didn't give Li Mingyue a chance to answer, and continued: "You haven't been here for long, it's normal to be attached to me, but you have to be clear, it's just dependence."

"You have too little contact with modern people, and you will gradually understand in the future."

again later.

Li Mingyue can't see this word - Shen Yanbing always uses "later later" to perfuse her.

It's like saying to five-year-old Shen Yueran: You will know in the future!

Li Mingyue felt unwilling to be treated equally, but now she could only frowned obediently: "Okay."

She took the initiative to hang up the phone and looked at the rice paper with "Shen Yanbing" written on it on the table. The ink marks had dried up. She crumpled the paper and threw it into the wastebasket.

Li Mingyue continued to practice calligraphy, but her mind was lingering, and the big characters she wrote were full of impetuosity.

So she started drawing and doing basic line drawing exercises, but her hands were always trembling and the lines were crooked.

Finally, she got up, picked up the ball of rice paper in the wastebasket, smoothed it out, and countless "Shen Yanbing" looked at her crumpled.

Li Mingyue let out a long breath, folded it neatly, and put it in the bottom of the drawer.

Shen Yanbing originally planned to return to Bincheng tonight, but Ms. Zheng Man said that it would be better to go tomorrow morning, but she refused.

When she came back that afternoon, she told her mother that she had already changed her ticket for tomorrow.

"Why, who can change your mind?" Zheng Man sighed, and glanced at the weather news on his mobile phone, "Yo, it's raining in Bincheng."

Only then did Shen Yanbing notice that there was a typhoon warning coming to Bincheng.

"Just stay at home for a few more days and wait for the typhoon to pass." Zheng Man said it as it should be, since there is nothing to do anyway, it's not a house.

"No." Shen Yanbing rarely regretted it - she shouldn't have escaped, she should have gone back tonight.

Li Mingyue was alone at home, and when the typhoon came, she couldn't go out. If there was another power outage, it would be a disaster.

The weather in Shacheng is fine, but there are already dark clouds over Bincheng.

Li Mingyue looked at the weather news on the tablet, learning to read the complicated typhoon dynamic track map.

Shen Yanbing said that she had changed to come back tomorrow morning - this made her feel uneasy.

Li Mingyue looked at the vortex of the wind on the coast in the picture, and felt that Shen Yanbing didn't want to see her.

—she was distracted again.

Li Mingyue pinched her arm, bad habits need to be changed.

That night, Li Mingyue fell asleep to the sound of the pattering rain.

Shen Yanbing soaked in the bathtub for a long, long time, but she still didn't feel sleepy when she lay down on the bed.

The next day, the news that the Bincheng typhoon was about to land hit the headlines. The wind was blowing in Bincheng, and there was heavy rain.

"The weather really changes at will." Shen Yanbing sighed when she received the text message that the flight was cancelled.

Ms. Zheng Man debunked her mercilessly: "The weather forecast was talking about it a few days ago, obviously you didn't pay attention."

Shen Yanbing was helpless, the weather in Shacheng these days was too good, she stayed indoors every day, and really didn't pay attention.

The sky outside the window was not as clear as yesterday, and it was slightly gloomy.

Since the phone call yesterday, Li Mingyue has not contacted her again.

She glanced at the chat box, and the conversation between the two was still on the voice of the last takeaway—she rarely ordered takeaway in this weather, would Li Mingyue cook at home?

Shen Yanbing stood up suddenly, continued to drag the cleared suitcase out, put on the bag and umbrella, and prepared to go out directly.

"Hey, how do you go back now?"

"High-speed rail." Shen Yanbing waved his hand, "I'm leaving."

Zheng Man watched her leave and sighed, "Be careful."

The door was closed, and Shen Yanbing's back dragging a small suitcase disappeared from sight.

Li Mingyue looked at the strong wind blowing outside and checked the windows of each room.

It had already rained last night, and she was just doing a check right now.

Or find a reason for herself - she sat on the bay window of the master bedroom, looking at the slightly messy bed.

Shen Yanbing doesn't fold the quilt very much, but fortunately she doesn't have the habit of throwing all kinds of clothes on the bed, so it doesn't look messy to the eye.

Dawn Moon only came in once a long time ago when looking at the closet.

There were hardly any changes in the bedroom, there were not many things, and the things on the bedside table were neatly stacked, only the unfolded quilt and the not-so-pressed sheets revealed a little bit of life.

She suddenly remembered the woman who came to her door yesterday - Shen Yanbing's ex-girlfriend.

Did the ex-girlfriend come here when she was the current girlfriend? Would she also sit on the mat in front of the coffee table? Did she sleep in the lower bunk of the second bedroom or the master bedroom at night?

Li Mingyue sat at the bay window, and the rain was about to come outside. The low clouds overwhelmed the building, and everything seemed to be toppled over.

She got up and left the master bedroom without touching anything.

When Shen Yanbing came back, he was drenched in rain again.

Li Mingyue had been waiting in the living room after receiving the text message. Before the other party took out the key, she opened the door from the inside.

The two seemed to be separated by an invisible door, and fell into a strange silence.

——Li Mingyue thought it was a long time, but it was only a second or two.

Shen Yanbing smiled at her: "Don't let me in?"

Li Mingyue turned sideways immediately and helped her pull the small suitcase in, "You're getting wet."

This is obvious.

She went to the bathroom to take out an absorbent towel and a hair dryer. Shen Yanbing simply wiped her hair without mentioning the troubles along the way, "There are typhoons in Bincheng every summer."

Li Mingyue stared at her and replied, "This is the coast."

This was the first time she encountered a typhoon, and with the self-study of geography during this period, she subconsciously wanted to analyze the cause of the typhoon and its path movement to Shen Yanbing.

She also wanted to use other topics to get over the previous embarrassment like Shen Yanbing.

Shen Yanbing went into the bedroom to change clothes, and when she came out again she was dry, she finally lay down on the sofa relaxed, and saw Li Mingyue who was standing all the time: "What's wrong?"

Li Mingyue asked: "Are you afraid of typhoons?"

"It shouldn't be very serious this time." Shen Yanbing patted the sofa for her to sit down, "Are you afraid?"

Li Mingyue shook her head: "It is a tropical cyclone. The temperature of the seawater is too high to evaporate into the air, forming such a low pressure center."

Shen Yanbing raised his eyebrows and put down his phone: "Oh?"

"So, this is a normal natural phenomenon, not God's punishment, and has nothing to do with our conduct."

Her Royal Highness always accidentally exposed her original education, Shen Yanbing thought it was funny, "Thank you, Teacher Li, I understand."

Li Mingyue finally adjusted her state and almost lost control, she cleared her throat, "...you have all learned this before."

She was just looking for topics and reviewing her study status by the way.

Shen Yanbing smiled: "I forgot about it when I left school."

Li Mingyue gained a little confidence: "Can I go to school in the future?"

"If there is a chance." Shen Yanbing rested his arms on the pillow, looked at her with his chin on his face, and changed the subject, "Have you eaten yet?"

Her Royal Highness shook her head.

Shen Yanbing had been on the road for five or six hours, and now it was time for dinner, she took a short rest, got up and ordered two boxes of tonkotsu ramen.

The kitchen was very clean, the food in the refrigerator was neatly stacked, and Li Mingyue obediently did not cook without authorization.

Shen Yanbing poured two glasses of water, sipped it slightly and signaled to start eating.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker, the things on the balcony were taken back early, the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows were drawn, the chandelier in the room was bright, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

Shen Yanbing glanced at the local news, and several places have already been affected by disasters.

The two sat next to each other, and Li Mingyue ate ramen slowly while actively asking her about her return home.

Shen Yanbing took it in a few words, concerned about the other party's state at home alone.

"I'm not lost." Li Mingyue was already able to go out alone, and would go to the studio and go downstairs to buy things.

Both of them tacitly kept silent about Xu Nuo's visit.

There was another violent storm outside, and the floor-to-ceiling windows were knocked loudly, as if the door was about to be broken into in the next second, which made people frightened.

Li Mingyue couldn't help but look back at the floor-to-ceiling curtains that were floating faintly.

Suddenly, the light in the living room went out without any warning, and the room was shrouded in darkness.

— the power went out.
