Extra: First Impression
It was the Lantern Festival again, and Nanxi City was as lively as ever, with lanterns hanging high and beautiful fireworks bursting in the night sky.
Su Manlu hurried along, moving quickly on her way.
The street was bustling with people, and children ran around with lanterns. She had to be careful to avoid getting hit by the children.
At this time, she couldn’t help but murmur to herself, Why wasn’t someone at home enjoying glutinous rice balls on Lantern Festival night, instead of asking her to go to Taozhen Tower?
Even though she grumbled, Su Manlu still left obediently. Before departing, her father held her back and insisted she eat a bowl of glutinous rice balls with him before she went.
Father Su recited while eating glutinous rice balls: “It’s strange, he’s clearly a live-in son-in-law, yet he watches you so closely, and he won’t let you go even on Lantern Festival night. It feels more like you’re getting married.”
Thinking of her father’s dissatisfaction, Su Manlu couldn’t help but purse her lips and smile.
She finally arrived at Taozhen Tower, and just as she was about to step inside, she heard a distant and profound melody.
She was stunned and looked up.
A man was perched on the railing of the second floor. He held a xun made of black pottery in his hands, pressing the sound holes with his slender fingers as he played music leisurely.
The man was handsome, with gentle eyebrows and long eyes. His purple robe fluttered in the wind, and the fireworks illuminated his face, making him appear god-like.
As if sensing her gaze, the man stopped, looked down, and their eyes met.
Su Manlu smiled and was about to open her lips when the man suddenly jumped down from the second floor, landing elegantly in front of her as everyone exclaimed.
Su Manlu was also frightened by his sudden move, and just as she was about to scold him, he spoke.
“This humble one is Yan Feixi. Is it possible to ask for the young lady’s name?”
What?
Su Manlu was stunned and looked at him stupidly.
And he, with his crooked eyebrows and beautiful narrow eyes, gazed at her tenderly, with a smile on his lips. His handsome appearance made the girls watching blush and their hearts race.
Su Manlu blinked. Suddenly, she remembered a day she had mentioned it to him casually the first time she met him.
That day happened to be the Lantern Festival, and she went to Beiyang City to see what he looked like. She heard the sound of a xun in the teahouse, looked up, and saw him wearing a purple brocade robe.
She was first attracted to the sound, and then he suddenly looked down at her. When their eyes met, she suddenly lost her heart.
“What about me? Didn’t I talk to you?” Yan Feixi seemed to have no recollection at all. He frowned, trying his hardest to remember.
“No.” She shook her head, recalling the past. “At that time, you were taken away by someone. Besides, even if our eyes met, you wouldn’t have talked to me.” She knew her delicate appearance wouldn’t be memorable to him.
“Why not?” He was dissatisfied with her response. “I gave you myself as a live-in husband, my heart, and my soul. Why won’t I talk to you?”
At that time, he was having trouble with her, leaving her dumbfounded, and in the end, she had to coax him nicely.
She thought that would be the end of it, but she didn’t expect he still remembered.
Su Manlu couldn’t help but lower her head and smile. While she felt a bit helpless over his naivety, she felt sweet in her heart and was willing to go along with him.
With a slight smile on her lips, she shyly lowered her eyes. “My maiden name is Manlu, Su Manlu.”
“Manlu, with delicate and beautiful eyebrows, bright and captivating eyes—this name truly suits you.” Seeing her shy and charming demeanor, Yan Feixi felt his heart soften into a mess and couldn’t help but move closer to her. “On such a vibrant Lantern Festival night, I wonder if I have the honor to accompany Miss Manlu and walk around the market together?”
“Then I’ll trouble you, young master.” She said shyly, lowering her head and walking beside him.
But after just a few steps, the person next to her became restless and took her hand in his warm, large one.
Su Manlu raised her eyes, bit her lip, and looked at him. “Young master, this isn’t appropriate etiquette.”
“What’s inappropriate? I think it’s very appropriate.” He was dissatisfied, “Also, call me husband.”
Su Manlu suppressed a smile and replied obediently, “Husband.”
He smiled with satisfaction, held her hand, and leaned closer to her ear as he proudly said, “See? I noticed you and talked to you, didn’t I?”
“Yes,” she smiled.
“Are you happy?” He looked at her with anticipation.
“Mm,” she nodded, gently leaning against him. “How about we head home? I’ve made glutinous rice balls.”
Yan Feixi’s eyes lit up. He loved the Yuanbao glutinous rice balls that she made and cooked herself. “Okay.” After a pause, he added, “After eating the glutinous rice balls, I’ll eat you again.”
Su Manlu blushed and glared at him shyly.
Yan Feixi smiled and bent his eyes, holding her hand and accompanying her home.
