We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 161: Actually, I've Liked His Majesty for a Very Long Time

"‘I will hold your hand, and grow old with you.’"Yan Ruxue smiled as she looked at Xiao Mo, speaking slowly.

"I also like those two lines very much," Xiao Mo nodded and took a sip of tea.

"This young lady thought Young Master would laugh at me," Yan Ruxue's lips curved up slightly.

"Why would you say that?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Because these are all about love and romance, seeming petty and narrow-minded," Yan Ruxue lowered her eyes gently, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"The young lady is wrong to say that," Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head. "Among the eighty thousand words in the world, only emotion is the most deadly. No matter how seas change into mulberry fields, how times pass and circumstances change, only the word 'love' remains unchanged."

"..." Yan Ruxue's eyes rippled gently as she quietly gazed into Xiao Mo's eyes.

"What's wrong, young lady?" Xiao Mo looked at the woman before him, always feeling that in that instant just now, the way she looked at him seemed somewhat off.

It was as if there was an impulse in her heart but she forcibly suppressed that impulse.

"Nothing," Yan Ruxue shook her head. "This young lady just feels that Young Master speaks very reasonably. Allow this young lady to toast Young Master with tea in place of wine."

"The young lady is too polite."

Xiao Mo raised his teacup and clinked it with Yan Ruxue's across the space, draining it in one gulp.

After a little over half an hour, Wei Xun looked at the sky, felt it was about time, stepped forward, and said softly, "Young Master, it's getting late. Should we head back?"

"I understand," Xiao Mo stood up and bowed to Yan Ruxue. "Young lady, I'll take my leave first. Today's conversation with the young lady has been most pleasant."

Yan Ruxue stood up and curtsied, "Young Master, please go carefully. This young lady was also just about to return. This box of pastries, if Young Master doesn't mind, please take it to try."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony and will accept it. Young lady, be careful on your way."

"Young Master as well."

Xiao Mo didn't act coy, accepted the pastries, turned around, and left.

Watching Xiao Mo's figure disappear at the far end, only then did Yan Ruxue withdraw her gaze.

"Xiao Chun, let's also head back," Yan Ruxue smiled gently.

"Yes, Miss."

Xiao Chun quickly gathered up the cushions, kite, and tea utensils. As for the charcoal from the tea stove, she poured it into the lake.

After the lake water was scalded and a small patch of steam rose, the charcoal gradually sank to the bottom.

…

Walking on the road back to the palace, Xiao Mo looked at the box of pastries Wei Xun was carrying and said, "Wei Xun, I want to try some."

"Yes, Young Master." Wei Xun quickly opened the oil paper and carefully handed it to His Majesty.

Xiao Mo picked out a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the osmanthus cake in his hand that he had bitten in half, Xiao Mo couldn't help but frown.

"Young Master, is there something wrong with this osmanthus cake?" Wei Xun asked.

"Nothing, I just feel the taste of this osmanthus cake is somewhat familiar."

"Familiar?" Wei Xun was even more confused.

"It's a bit like a taste I've had before, but not quite the same. This osmanthus cake tastes even better."

Xiao Mo stopped walking, turned around, and looked in the direction of Jade Spring Lake.

After three breaths, Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, as if mocking himself for the impractical thought that had just emerged.

"Forget it, I'm just overthinking. Let's go, time to return."

"Yes, Young Master."

…

After Xiao Chun threw the tea utensils, kite, and other items onto the carriage, she didn't get on the carriage with her miss to return to the residence.

Her miss wanted to stroll around the marketplace, and Xiao Chun naturally accompanied her.

Although walking was somewhat tiring, she enjoyed shopping with her miss.

It was just that every time she went shopping with her miss, there would always be various people looking at her miss with all kinds of gazes.

Xiao Chun wished she could gouge out the eyes of all these people.
