CHAPTER 234: 0159 YOUNG COUPLE (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

"She said once you arrive, you should go see her yourself." Yun Qian mentioned the important matter.

"I see, I’ll go in a while." Xu Chang’an walked over and held her hand, under Yun Qian’s slightly surprised gaze.

"You..." Yun Qian was stunned.

"I should have mentioned, I don’t want to see you degrade yourself to make me happy." Xu Chang’an said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qian calmly said, "Making you happy is something I like to do."

"Seriously speaking sweet words is quite a skill you have, Miss."

Feeling the warmth from Xu Chang’an, Yun Qian hesitated for a moment and asked, "My makeup today..."

"Looks great, I really like it."

"I haven’t even asked yet."

"Isn’t this what you were going to ask?"

"...Yes."

"Did Mister say I should go see her alone?"

"Yes."

Xu Chang’an simply inquired and found out that Li Zhibai didn’t check Yun Qian’s Elixir Field. The two just did makeup and waited for him to return.

Xu Chang’an didn’t understand what his teacher was thinking, but...

He let out a sigh of relief.

There’s even time to apply some rouge; it seems the Elixir Field issue is really easy to resolve.

"It’s getting dark; let’s head inside, Miss," Xu Chang’an said with a smile, pointing to a room not far away: "That’s where I used to live."

"I’ll listen to you."

Thus, Xu Chang’an led Yun Qian back to his small room, hand in hand.

The room was small and very simple, with an empty bamboo bed since it hadn’t been used in a long time.

Xu Chang’an lit the lamps.

Having stood for a long time waiting for Xu Chang’an to return, Yun Qian sat naturally on the edge of the bamboo bed, watching his actions as her anxious heart slowly settled.

For her, as long as Xu Chang’an didn’t dislike her flamboyant attire, that was enough.

As for when he said he liked her makeup, Yun Qian felt her heart was calm as water.

After all, in daily life, even if her lipstick smeared, Xu Chang’an would say he liked it.

If her eyebrow was drawn crookedly, he would still say he liked it.

Even without makeup, he said he liked it.

Getting out of bed all disheveled in the morning, he also said he liked it.

So Yun Qian was already used to Xu Chang’an’s affection... If her styled self today only resulted in him saying "like" without any action, then there was no need to learn from Li Zhibai.

——

Under the lamp, Xu Chang’an’s shadow stretched a bit long, and he suddenly said, "Miss."

"Hmm?"

"Would you like some candied fruit?"

Xu Chang’an didn’t know where he got a few pieces of crystalline, cloud-shaped candied fruits and came over: "I guessed you must have finished the ones on you."

"Yes, I’ve finished them."

Thinking that being able to eat the snacks Xu Chang’an specially brought would surely brighten her mood, Yun Qian reached out to take some. But just as she was about to touch them, Xu Chang’an quickly withdrew his hand.

Miss Yun reached out but grasped at nothing, raising her head.

"Forget it, better not eat them." Xu Chang’an muttered.

Yun Qian: "...?"

Not giving her any?

Why not.

In the past, he had never refused her candies before.

"I was waiting for you outside and got a bit tired, just wanted to eat something sweet." Yun Qian repeated.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chang’an refused again.

"Better not eat them."

Hearing Xu Chang’an’s indisputable tone, Yun Qian trembled violently, and the golden jeweled earring on her left ear fell onto the bamboo board.

"Why." Yun Qian took a deep breath, her face growing paler, the color of her flamboyant makeup unable to hide it, and reached to pick up the fallen earring.

"If you want to know why, it’s a long story." Xu Chang sighed, wrapped the candied fruits with Spiritual Qi and placed them on the table, then turned around to look at Yun Qian sitting on the bed, his gaze sweeping over her lips, very seriously.

"Make it short." Yun Qian tightly squeezed the hem of her skirt.

"Such beautiful makeup, Miss, would be a pity if ruined by the candied fruits."

——

Beautiful?

Yun Qian’s hand fetching the earring froze, her dark pupils constricted, initially deep eyes brightened a lot, reflecting the flames of the Oil Lamp in the room.

She sat up straight, looked at Xu Chang’an: "You... say it again."

"Miss, your makeup today is beautiful, the lip makeup too; if ruined by eating candied fruits, it would be a shame, I’d like to appreciate it a bit longer."

"Say it again."

"I..." Xu Chang’an held his forehead: "Miss, clear your mind."

"..."

"I’m fine now." Yun Qian coughed lightly, her ear tips were a few shades red in the lamp light, very alluring.

So, she misunderstood.

That’s what he truly liked.

Yun Qian’s heart raced. She originally thought the makeup was mediocre, yet it completely exceeded her expectations.

She had to learn.

She had to learn from Li Zhibai.

After all, Xu Chang’an always thought that keeping her feed was very important, hence he’d carry snacks with him.

Visual things like makeup had always been less important than food.

Yet now, Xu Chang’an liked her so much that he’d rather not let her eat candied fruit than let her makeup get ruined.

This was unprecedented.

"Do you really so much..." Yun Qian sensed Xu Chang’an walk up to her, and before she could finish, he pressed her shoulders, easily pinning her onto the bamboo bed.

Yun Qian saw the earring that fell earlier as Xu Chang’an grabbed her hand and turned her head.

"What do you want to do?"

"I’m a hopeless, lustful person, Miss, surely you know." Xu Chang’an gritted his teeth: "How come with the teacher this..."

The teacher mentioned some Immortal?

What Immortal.

If there really were Immortals in the Nine Heavens, then there could only be his Miss Yun, no one else is worthy.

Heaven knows, he resisted Yun Qian’s entire set of seductive moves with great effort.

"...Forget it."

Xu Chang’an released Yun Qian’s hand and exhaled a deep breath: "The matter of the Elixir Field isn’t resolved yet, what am I thinking."

This was his place, but also a Sword Hall.

Even to not let his teacher look down on Yun Qian, he couldn’t truly bully her.

"..."

Yun Qian felt Xu Chang’an’s restraint and warm breath, after a moment, she smiled unexpectedly: "Your teacher is really quite a remarkable person."

"What’s so funny." Xu Chang’an was helpless.

"I kind of like her." Yun Qian glanced in the direction of the main building.

This makeup Xu Chang’an liked so much, and ever since she and Xu Chang’an entered this small room, Li Zhibai had not peeped.

Very considerate.

"Actually, when you came, you had a strong rouge scent on you." Yun Qian sniffed: "Just like the one she put on me."

"The senior sisters..." Xu Chang’an’s eyes trembled, immediately explaining.

"Never mind." Yun Qian felt incredibly good, and she still lay there: "It’s not important."

"Then what’s important?" Xu Chang’an noticed Yun Qian’s mood lifting, and subtly smiled: "Not calling you ’my lady’... Is that more important?"

"So you knew." Yun Qian thought meaningfully.

"I’m not a fool." Xu Chang’an, recalling Yun Qian’s "husband", helplessly shook his head: "That was also taught by the teacher, right?"

"Yes." Yun Qian nodded.

"It’s obvious." Xu Chang’an was even more speechless, his image of the strict, ancient Daoist nun fading a bit.

"Since you know what I’m thinking, why do you keep calling me Miss, I thought you didn’t like the makeup." Yun Qian poked Xu Chang’an’s wrist: "Are you teasing me?"

"Because that ’husband’ from Miss was taught by the teacher." Xu Chang’an closely observed Yun Qian’s exquisite makeup, tenderly removing another earring from her ear, feeling saddened at the slightly red ear lobe caused by the clip.

"I’d prefer to hear what Miss wishes to say from the heart; is that a problem?"

Because it was someone else’s taught sweet talk, he didn’t respond as Yun Qian wished, calling her his wife.

"No more." Yun Qian thought it very reasonable, supported herself up, and said calmly.

"Husband, my ear hurts."
