Chapter 255: Reunion Interrupted at the Courtyard

He had not even come to look for him, so he needed to make him a little angry first.

After a while, Bai He saw a graceful figure open the door and rush out.

She ran while crying.

Even her sobbing sounded so pleasant.

Bai He shook his head and firmly denied it.

Pleasant my foot.

She was clearly crying on purpose, trying to make Shiyuan soften his heart.

Tsk, what a scheming woman.

"Host, jealousy really does make people ugly. This saying is completely true."

Bai He: ...

"Then tell me, why did you make every female character so beautiful?"

"Because this was originally a male oriented novel."

That really left no room for rebuttal.

Since it was a male oriented novel, every female character had to be beautiful, and each beauty had to be distinctive in her own way.

Just like how male characters in female oriented novels are always handsome and wealthy.

Bai He pinched her own cheek.

"Host, are you feeling inferior?"

"Nonsense."

Bai He denied it immediately.

He thought he was quite handsome too.

Although he was not some peerless beauty that stunned the world, he was definitely not bad looking.

After a couple more years, he would surely become even more beautiful than he was now.

A person walked out from the room while holding a jade green flute in his hand.

In the lonely night, the sound of the flute was somewhat out of place, yet it was also incredibly beautiful.

Bai He had never known that Ye Shiyuan could play the flute.

Next time, he would definitely drag him into playing a song for him.

"Host, the protagonist is talented in many ways. You will understand this in the future. Investing in him is never a loss. This boyfriend, in the past, you could not even find one even if you held up a lantern."

What does Mo Zhu mean by that? Was this an indirect mockery, implying that he was not worthy of Ye Shiyuan?

Bai He shot a fierce glare at Mo Zhu and continued listening.

Suddenly, the flute music stopped.

Bai He looked up to check.

Why did Ye Shiyuan suddenly stop? It clearly had not ended yet, but where in the courtyard was Ye Shiyuan’s figure anymore?

"Who are you?"

A deep voice, carrying a hint of vigilance, suddenly sounded right behind him.

Bai He felt a jolt all over his body and was startled.

It was too sudden, like a ghost appearing out of nowhere.

He slowly turned around and smiled at Ye Shiyuan.

"Hello, Shiyuan. Long time no see."

Only to see Ye Shiyuan’s expression change from initial anger to gradually becoming gentle.

In an instant, there even seemed to be a hint of joy.

In the next moment, Bai He found himself pulled into a warm embrace.

The arm around his waist was tight enough that it even caused him some pain.

"Mm, Shiyuan..."

"Master."

Ye Shiyuan softly called out to him once, and then said no more.

He had thought it was a dream, yet the feeling was incomparably real.

Bai He was brought into the room by Ye Shiyuan.

Ye Shiyuan stared at him without blinking, looking so intently that Bai He himself started to feel embarrassed.

Just a moment ago, he had been thinking that when he saw him, he would definitely question him properly, but under this gaze, he could not seem to say anything at all.

"Shiyuan, stop staring at me like that."

It had been more than a year since they last met.

During his time at Spirit Pagoda, Ye Shiyuan had thought of him constantly.

Bai He had once told him that for a period of time, he would not come again.

Ye Shiyuan had thought that perhaps one day, he would suddenly appear.

Unfortunately, he did not.

After leaving Spirit Pagoda, Ye Shiyuan returned here.

The affairs of the mortal world still contained matters that he could not let go of.

He needed to resolve everything here before going to find him.

Ye Shiyuan did not speak.

Bai He spoke again.

"I have been here for quite a long time. I also saw everything that happened earlier."

"As for Princess Yangshi, Master, you must not misunderstand me. I only knew her in the past. After I entered Lingguang Sect, I never saw her again. We are merely acquaintances, not even friends."

Ye Shiyuan looked rather flustered while trying to explain himself, which was actually quite interesting.

Bai He could not help but laugh.

He even reached out a finger and lightly touched his jade like face.

"Who told you to look this good?"

"Is Master also here because of this face?"

"Mm, if I say yes?"

"Even so, it would still be my honor."

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Bai He immediately pushed Ye Shiyuan away.

Xu Feng widened his eyes at the scene inside the room.

"Master, Senior Brother, you two are really too immoral. I am outside suffering from cold and hunger, while you two are inside..."

"You are talking nonsense. How could you be hungry, and how could you be afraid of the cold?"

Bai He retorted.

Xue Feng walked in and sat down rather casually.

"Master, I have some very unfortunate news. I saw people heading toward us from this direction, so I came in. At this rate, they should be here very soon."

What?

Bai He immediately became uneasy.

Was he really that unlucky?

Every single time he was about to relax, he got discovered.

"Master, it is fine. Leave it to me."

Bai He naturally trusted Ye Shiyuan.

At that moment, voices outside were already calling Ye Shiyuan’s name, and they were just about to push the door open.

Ye Shiyuan opened the door and went out, then closed it behind him.

"Did I not say before that you were not to come here and disturb me?"

"Ye Shiyuan, someone saw it. You are hiding someone in your private residence. Hand them over immediately."
