Eps. 30: Flavors

Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue were trapped in the cave until nightfall. At the end of the autumn, snow suddenly fell covering the road until the two were forced to take shelter back in the cave. The reinforcements signaled by Huang Yunxi did not come. They may also be caught in the snow and have to stop the search.

The location of the cave is flanked by two high cliffs and is in a valley that is deep enough to make the air temperature cooler than a place slightly higher than here. This is a cave that is formed naturally until all the rocks and walls have an unusual motif but feels beautiful when viewed from a distance. The place was quite damp even though there was no water dripping from inside the cave walls.

Huang Yunxi hugged her own body.

The fireplace was almost extinguished because the firewood had run out. One layer of his clothes had also burned to the ground. The air temperature is really cold. In addition to snow, the wind also blows quite hard. The phenomenon made Huang Yunxi worried about hypothermia. His body was not used to being in this cold weather.

He wanted to take out the automatic heating set of the magic system, but he did not. Huang Yunxi had already done too many miracles and had already taken Yuwen Yue by surprise too many times. If he were to take out that thing now, Yuwen Yue would definitely not remain silent. The man would ask him a thousand questions about strange objects that appeared suddenly.

Holding the cold for a while may be okay. As long as the man slept, Huang Yunxi could bring out the warmers without being caught. However, even after midnight, the man's eyes remained wide open and continuously stared at him strangely as if he was an object coming from beyond the earth. Huang Yunxi became agitated herself.

“Why do you keep looking at me?” tanyanya.

“You okay?”

“Teacher, you've asked that nine times. Do I look not okay?”

“Oh.”

“Rather than you keep asking useless things, what if you just sleep and stop looking at me?”

“I'm not sleepy.”

Also true. Yuwen Yue was a great man, the Vice-Advisor of the Royal Academy who was loved by women all over the city. A super busy man whose busyness exceeds that of Emperor Huang Yun Yi and his intelligence exceeds that of Yuwen Rong, the leader of the Yindai Pavilion. The eagle-eyed sturdy man who was bad-tempered and inconsistent, angry and often argued with Huang Yunxi would definitely not sleep in this situation.

Huang Yunxi's body started to cool. The air temperature is falling. Huang Yunxi had no choice anymore, she had to take out an automatic warmer if she did not want to freeze to death in this place. His age was still young and his spirit was still high, it was not allowed to die again in the cave that even people alone might not dare to come. The matter of whether Yuwen Yue would come back shocked or not, would later be thought out.

After turning over, a light brown round object was already in Huang Yunxi's grasp. His guess was right, Yuwen Yue was indeed back in shock. Huang Yunxi bared her white teeth in order that Yuwen Yue would not ask her much about the origin of all the magical things that always suddenly appeared.

In addition to the warmers, Huang Yunxi also got two mattresses and one thick blanket. One mat then he gave it to Yuwen Yue. Huang Yunxi told the man to lie down on the mat and had to close his eyes immediately.

Tonight, Yuwen Yue became a submissive man. He lay obediently without asking. His heart was filled with high curiosity, but could not bear to ask because he knew very well that the girl was already very tired. Yuwen Yue made her left hand a pillow, while her right hand she placed it on her stomach. His eyes were calmly staring at the ceiling of the cave.

At his side, Huang Yunxi lay with her body wrapped in a thick blanket. The girl sleeps on her back. He was the same, unable to sleep. It was her first time spending the night in the wild and in a new world, with a man who would in the future be her husband. His feelings are quite ungodly. When did he become a feeling?

“Yunxi,”

“Ya?”

“Are you scared?”

“What should I fear?”

“You are a great princess. A night out in the wild like this might not be your style.”

“Ya, teacher's right. I am not used to sleeping in the wild. But, you're mistaken because I'm not scared at all.”

Silent. Yuwen Yue and Huang Yunxi dissolved in their respective minds. There were many questions in the hearts of both. There were many unspoken words hiding in their hearts. There was a sense of namelessness stirring. Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue both bore that feeling alone.

Snow still falling. The air is getting colder. The fireplace is almost out. The night is very late. Huang Yunxi and Yuwen Yue were still awake.

“Hm?”

“Have you ever been in love?”

Yuwen Yue gave a pause before she answered the girl's question. Of love? What's that fancy word she deserves? What ambitious man who has never touched a woman seems to have a chance to feel it?

“Entahlah. You alone?”

“Entahlah. I live for myself. Everything I do is purely for my own benefit. I never knew what love was.”

“Then why did you ask me?”

“That's because you're the First Young Master. A lot of women like you and queue up want to be your wife. Who knows if one of them ever made you move.”

“They are not interesting at all.”

“Not one?”

“No.”

“Teacher, are you really not interested in women?”

“Hm.”

Lies. If Yuwen Yue had never been in love, why would her feelings now not be out of whack? He felt pain when he saw a girl lying lifeless on the bed until he could not say anything. Yuwen Yue felt worried as the girl who was now lying by his side was in danger. He always felt lonely if just a day did not argue with him or noisily looking for his mistakes. Yuwen Yue was shaken by the presence of a girl named Huang Yunxi.

If not love, then what? It is impossible if it is a mere admiration. Huang Yunxi was a magical girl, but that was not what touched her. Huang Yunxi's ever-honest, outspoken, bold and open figure had made Yuwen Yue feel a strange sense that she had never felt before.

The tremor came suddenly. In the past, he had not felt it at all. As Yuwen Yue waited for the girl to come home from the palace after burning down the Royal Academy Medical Center, Yuwen Yue started to feel something different. When he caught her at Muyun Restaurant for the first time, Yuwen Yue was increasingly curious. Yuwen Yue was then made in disbelief as she watched the girl research the poison in the Yindai Pavilion with her magic tools. Then, he watched as Huang Yunxi desperately tried to prepare the Tian Academy envoy's welcome to win the match, even solving Fang Jianming's case, went to the palace, and, experiencing near-death once until tonight.

Perhaps it was during those moments that he began to feel the tremors in his heart slowly without him noticing. Yuwen Yue unconsciously began to bond with the girl. His bond became difficult to break when Emperor Huang Yun Yi gave him a marriage decree requiring him to marry Huang Yunxi at a later date. Yuwen Yue could not break away anymore. He's been trapped so deep.

Destiny? Maybe so. In the past, he never thought about feelings. He is focused on his career. Marriage is not a problem. It's okay if she's single to old. His parents were not forced either because the choice of life was in his hands. Want how many beautiful girls and noble lineages were willing to humble themselves and come to her, she would not care.

But now that principle is no longer valid. The situation is now very different. Yuwen Yue started to care for a girl named Huang Yunxi. He could no longer shut himself out from the situation that befell him. Huang Yunxi was like a messenger of the Gods who was tasked with making his hard heart soft. Consciously or unconsciously, Yuwen Yue had already made many exceptions for the girl.

Yuwen Yue turned his head to the side. Huang Yunxi was already sleeping. The girl's bright eyes were now closed. Her marble face looked so calm enjoying the night. Slowly, Yuwen Yue smiled sweetly.

“Either you are Huang Yunxi or not, I just hope you never disappear from my sight.”

Cup.

Yuwen Yue kissed Huang Yunxi's forehead gently. There was no reaction of rejection as he had already ventured into dreamland. The warm thin lips of Yuwen Yue left an invisible mark on Huang Yunxi's forehead. After peeking at Huang Yunxi's forehead, Yuwen Yue began to close his eyes.

“Teacher....”.
