2565 Side Story 69: Wait
Yi Fu naturally did not understand what she said. She quickly went forward, wiped Tuan Zi’s tears, and asked softly and carefully, “What’s the matter? Tuan Zi, what do you want?”
However, Tuan Zi pressed her lips against each other tightly and refused to speak.
Yi Fu had never seen Tuan Zi reveal such an expression.
She gently patted the latter’s head. “Our Tuan Zi is very nice. She can have whatever she wants.”
Tuan Zi finally recovered her senses and softly said, “Sister Yi Fu, I’m fine. I just… had a nightmare.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Fu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she smiled and said, “You also said that it was a nightmare. Those things are all fake. Tuan Zi, don’t be scared.”
Originally, she came over to bring Tuan Zi out to play. But seeing Tuan Zi in this state, it seemed like…
“I think you don’t look too good. Why don’t we not go out today so that you can rest properly?”
Tuan Zi nodded tiredly, but she suddenly straightened her body. “No, I don’t want to stay here. I want to go out.”
Won’t I be still alone here? It’s too hard to bear.
Yi Fu just thought that she wanted to take a walk, so she agreed. “Then, let’s tidy up and go out later? Yi Ming and the rest are waiting outside.”
Tuan Zi acknowledged her.
She stood up to wash her face and combed her hair again.
The red string went through her hair and flipped in her fingers, while the golden bell rang crisply.
Tuan Zi saw herself in the copper mirror and thought of the nightmare from the previous night.
She suddenly knitted her brows, turned around, and asked, “Sister Yi Fu, do you think there’s a limit to how nice a person can be? If they’re good to someone, they can’t be good to other people?”
Yi Fu was dazed and thought that she was still talking about what Yi Ming said, so she replied, “Don’t listen to Yi Ming’s nonsense.”
Tuan Zi’s cheeks bulged out. Why do I feel that it makes a little sense?
Yi Fu thought of it and planned to say something more. “Actually, such matters can’t be said precisely. The so-called ‘good’ can be different in many scenarios, and you can’t generalize it.”
Tuan Zi asked, “Like?”
“Like… Emperor’s goodness toward Goddess Yue and his goodness to the two little emperors are different.” Yi Fu thought to use the examples around Tuan Zi for her to understand bbetter.
“Do you think the Emperor would be as good as he is to Goddess Yue, toward someone else? However, he treats the two little emperors the same way.”
“Some goodness can be shared equally, but some can’t.”
Tuan Zi fell silent for a long while. She seemed to understand, but she also seemed to be more confused. Is Zi Chen’s goodness toward me the same as how the Emperor treats A’Yue or how the Emperor treats Rong Xiaoxun and Rong Xiaoyan? Forget it. The Emperor isn’t as nice to the two brothers than Zi Chen is to me.
Thinking of this, it seemed more like the former.
Tuan Zi felt her head ache. She shook her head and planned to forget all of these messy thoughts.
After packing, she stood up. “Sister Yi Fu, let’s go!”
…
Tuan Zi had prepared herself mentally.
She faintly felt that her thoughts weren’t quite right now. Additionally, as the dream had made her suffer, she was very worried that she would run into Zi Chen.
In the end… she worried too much.
They walked around the Fantasy Divine Palace and met many people but not Zi Chen. They also did not see Miao Xuanxuan.
When Tuan Zi asked later on, she found out that Zi Chen had brought Miao Xuanxuan to the lightning pool in the morning.
In actual fact, this was their arrangement during this period of time, but Tuan Zi had just returned and did not ask earlier. Thus, she did not know.
In this way, Tuan Zi wanted to go take a look.
Anyway, everyone could go to the lightning pool. She thought deeply and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
She was really just curious!
Besides, Yi Fu and the rest had not seen the lightning pool before. Since they were here, they had to look at it.
Hence, the crowd went straight to the lightning pool.
…
When they reached the lightning pool, they saw the tall figure standing on the rock.
The winds blew up his clothes, and they rustled.
He stood with his hands behind his back and was very tall and handsome. Even if it was just a back view, he still looked very authoritative.
Tuan Zi glanced at him and was dazed.
Zi Chen seemed… as if he was really waiting for someone. Of course, he was waiting for Miao Xuanxuan, who was receiving nourishment from the lightning bolts inside the lightning pool.
Tuan Zi suddenly thought of the days when Zi Chen was still trapped and hibernating in the ball. At that time, she also waited for days and nights.
All her patience was spent on this one person. In the end, he was actually waiting for someone else?!
Tuan Zi was enraged, and her heart was bubbling with sourness.
Actually, she had a very good temper and rarely threw her tantrum toward people she was close to. But now…
Without waiting for her to speak, Zi Chen seemed to notice something and turned around.
The two parties weren’t far from each other, and Zi Chen always had good vision. He immediately noticed Tuan Zi’s slightly swollen eyes, and there seemed to be redness at the corner of her eyes.
Did she… cry?
Zi Chen’s face darkened as his gaze, as sharp as blades, swept across Yi Ming and the rest.
Chills ran down the spines of Yi Ming and the others, not knowing how they had offended him.
Zi Chen waved toward Tuan Zi. “Come over.”
Tuan Zi originally didn’t want to listen to him, but after hearing his voice, she strangely walked forward.
When she reacted, she had already reached Zi Chen.
He furrowed her brows, stared at the girl in front of him, and lightly wiped the corner of her eyes. “Who bullied you?”
Tuan Zi thought of the incident the day before. She snorted coldly in her heart and tilted her face to avoid his hand.
Zi Chen stopped in his movements.
Tuan Zi glared at him, and her eyes were filled with unconcealable complaints.
Just as she was about to speak, a voice came from the side. “Tuan Zi? You guys are here too?”
Tuan Zi turned around and saw Miao Xuanxuan exiting from the lightning pool and walking toward them.
At that moment, for some reason, she suddenly went forward, grabbed Zi Chen’s hand, and buried her face.
The warm and soft cheeks leaned against the back of his hand, causing Zi Chen to freeze. Then, he heard the girl’s aggrieved whimper. “…I had a nightmare.”
Zi Chen heaved a sigh of relief and gently patted her shoulders with his other hand as he asked, “What did you dream about?”
