Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Drip, drip, drip…

The sun rose from the east, and a light drizzle quietly fell on the roofs at the end of summer and early autumn of the tenth year of Xuanhong.

Ye Jingtang opened the oil-paper umbrella and covered the head of the person in his arms. The fluffy bird was curled up in front of him, and the human and the bird were sleeping soundly.

Last night, he had drunk, practiced martial arts, and chatted with Dumdum on the roof.

He had talked about his daily life in Red River Town, from practicing martial arts three times a day to going out alone to walk the bird and fish to the girls and young women hiding everywhere like wolves and tigers until he was 18 years old.

He didn’t tell the rest of the story. After all, ever since he left Red River Town on the third day of the first lunar month and returned to his hometown after the escort errand, what was waiting at home was no longer his foster father, who had raised him since he was a baby, but a letter and an old saber.

Dongfang Liren also talked about many things from her childhood.

When the sisters were still ignorant, their mother brought them to tour Parasol Street at night.

When it came to studying, she learned faster. As for her sister, because she couldn’t write well, she was often punished by her father to copy books.

When she was practicing martial arts to strengthen her body, her sister left her behind in the dust. She was clumsy, so she was punished by her father to do the horse stance every day.

One of them loved literature and art, and the other loved martial arts. It was at this time that the seeds were planted. After all, the sisters were naturally strong people. They wanted to learn whatever they weren’t good at. As for what they already had, they didn’t value it so much.

As for when she was a little older, Dongfang Liren stopped talking about it. Things such as her mother passing away, her father passing away, her brother treating her and her sister as enemies, and her sister usurping the throne and purging the Imperial Court were too heavy to talk about. Like her sister, she didn’t want to mention these matters again.

The two of them chatted until early morning and unknowingly finished the wine bottles.

Dongfang Liren was sleepy and drunk. She leaned on Ye Jingtang’s shoulder in a daze and closed her eyes under the full sense of security.

Because it wasn’t very comfortable to lean on his shoulder, Ye Jingtang laid Dongfang Liren down a little and let her half-lie in his arms.

Dongfang Liren’s cheek was pressed against Ye Jingtang’s right arm, and her upper body was leaning on his chest. Under the effect of gravity, the two bulging balls of the fat-headed dragon were stacked together. Through the black cloth, he could feel the warmth and fullness. He could even vaguely see the uneven spots on the top of the clothes…

Last night, there had only been the moonlight in the dark, so Ye Jingtang didn’t see anything special. Now that the sky was gradually brightening, he realized that Dumdum seemed to be only wearing the robe.

Ye Jingtang lowered his head unconsciously. Thinking that he shouldn’t look at her improperly, he cast his gaze to the distant northwest and continued to recall the past.

After sitting for a while, Ye Jingtang found that the drizzle was wetting Dumdum’s ankles and shoes. He put his hand under her legs and gently picked her up, wanting to put her in his arms to lie.

But the moment Dongfang Liren’s body moved, her eyelashes moved. Then she opened her eyes in confusion. The man’s peerlessly handsome face fell into her eyes…

?!

“You’re awake? It’s raining. I… Hiss—”

The moment Dongfang Liren woke up, she found herself lying in the man’s arms. She raised her hand to pull out the saber at Ye Jingtang’s waist, but he held it down, so she pinched his waist. “What did you do to me?”

Ye Jingtang raised his hands. “1 didn’t do anything. Your Highness was drunk, and I was afraid that the rain would wet your shoes, so I wanted to cover you more tightly.”

Dongfang Liren thought about it for a while and remembered that she had come here to drink last night. Then she blacked out and had a headache when she woke up…

What kind of lousy wine was that… Dongfang Liren lowered her head to take a look. After she confirmed that her clothes were not untied, the suspicion in her eyes subsided, but then her expression immediately turned fierce. “1 was drunk. Why didn’t you send me back to my room? How dare you let me sleep on the roof all night and even hug me…”

Ye Jingtang said solemnly, “Your Highness, don’t misunderstand. Last night, it was you who took the initiative to lean on my shoulder. I said that I would send you back, but you were fierce to me. You even said, ‘What’s wrong with me leaning on you?’ So I didn’t dare to disturb you…”

?

Dongfang Liren blinked. Although she couldn’t remember clearly, based on her understanding of herself, it wasn’t strange for her to do such a thing after drinking too much. “I was drunk. Why did you still listen to me?” Dongfang Liren let go of him, got up from his arms, and patted her robe. “On account of you being well-behaved, I’ll spare you this time. There won’t be a next time.”

Ye Jingtang was used to hearing this, so he didn’t say anything.. He picked up the bird, who was sleeping like a piglet, held the umbrella, and sent Dongfang Liren downstairs…
