Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

After arriving in Qing County, Bai Zhi had thought about how to reunite with Chu Yunchuan. Although she did not intend to discuss immortality with Chu Yunchuan, she knew that Chu Yunchuan would never give up if she did not have a frank talk. Therefore, she lived a leisurely life in Qing County, waiting for Chu Yunchuan to come to her and wait for the two to say what they needed to say.

But she could never have imagined that their reunion would be like this.

Seeing that Chu Yunchuan seemed to have suffered a great blow and his face was frozen, Bai Zhi quickly refuted: "Let me make it clear, I am not going on a blind date, I am just repaying the favor of matchmaker Lu."

Zhou Shensi changed his words indifferently: "Okay, how about returning the favor? Is the only son of the Yang family handsome?"

Bai Zhi: "..."

Seeing Bai Zhi's face fall, the waiter ran over and changed the subject: "Boss, there's a worker in our store. Manager Zhou said we don't need any more workers, but he doesn't want to leave. What do you think we should do?"

Bai Zhi: "Who is the worker?"

The waiter thought Bai Zhi was teasing him, and said happily, "Don't tease me, who else is in the store? It's just this handsome guy."

Chu Yunchuan followed up the conversation and bowed to Bai Zhi: "Greetings, Master."

Bai Zhi: "..."

She felt like her brain wasn't working well enough today.

Zhou Shensi poked his head out again, his face long: "You are the only one who wants to work, why haven't you left yet? We are not short of people, but a pretty face can't be used to make a living..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Bai Zhi interrupted Zhou Shensi abruptly and pulled Chu Yunchuan out quickly. "I, I, I'm going to talk to him. You don't have to worry about this. Um, old man, let me introduce you to this. The signature dish of our Wenxianglou is the Thousand Hammered Chicken..."

The door slammed shut. Zhou Shensi said in a long voice: "Why did the boss leave before he even said what he wanted to eat..."

The waiter agreed: "Maybe he's not hungry today."

After dark, there were almost no people on North Tenth Street. Bai Zhi led Chu Yunchuan for a mile as if she was being chased by a wolf before stopping in a small alley. She asked, panting heavily, "What's going on? Are you here incognito? You came alone? Without your two guards? Where's Changfeng?"

Under the moonlight, Chu Yunchuan's eyes were like cold stars. He chuckled and said, "Long time no see. So many questions, which one should I answer first?"

It had indeed been a long time since they last saw each other, but as soon as Bai Zhi saw him, the days in between seemed to have vanished, as if they had just parted at the Marquis' Mansion yesterday and met here again today.

"Then let's first tell you...why are you here?"

Chu Yunchuan seemed to have been prepared for this question. He took out a rough cloth scarf from his bag and tied it on his head, dressing himself up like a waiter. "Just as the waiter said, I'm here to work. I wonder if the boss can be kind enough to take me in and let me have a meal in the store?"

Bai Zhi: "...I don't know which store is so bold as to hire His Royal Highness King Jing as a laborer."

"Now many of the survivors have returned to the Thirteen States, and the 360 ​​industries are full of vitality. Although I cannot know everything the people think, I can at least go deep into the people and experience their lives firsthand, which is conducive to rectifying government affairs."

“…Is that really the case?”

"Replacement guaranteed."

Bai Zhi sighed: "Is there a place to live?"

Chu Yunchuan immediately shook his head: "No, can the boss take me in?"

Bai Zhi: "...Come on, go home with me."

The Lin residence is on North Eighth Street, and it takes less than an incense stick of time to walk there. Chu Yunchuan followed Bai Zhi and let out a sigh of relief.

He seemed to be at ease, but in fact, his palms were sweating from the first moment he saw Bai Zhi.

Fortunately, Baizhi recognized him without any hesitation, fortunately.

"You seemed to have a question for me before, when we were in the Marquis' Mansion." Bai Zhi walked in front, her expression invisible, "I promised you that you could ask me again after spring. Now I already have the answer."

Bai Zhi's voice was low, and she didn't sound like she had anything nice to say. Chu Yunchuan concentrated and held his breath: "You speak, I listen."

"Tell me first, besides understanding the people's sentiments, what other reasons do you have for coming here?"

Having said that, Chu Yunchuan did not hide anything: "I'm here to see you."

"Why are you meeting me?"

Chu Yunchuan stopped and said, "I want to light a long, everlasting lamp for you to see. Then, it's up to you whether to go or stay."

"Why bother?"

“I follow my heart.”

Bai Zhi kicked over two heavy rocks and motioned Chu Yunchuan to sit down. Then she said slowly, "I'll be frank. How do you know if you are really following your heart?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"In a place like the Marquis' Mansion, you have to think hard about every move and dare not even tell the truth. Now a companion who can confide in you falls from the sky, so of course you rely on her. Does it matter if this person is me or someone else?" Bai Zhi said, "In other words, it's like walking on a tightrope in mid-air. You are walking with fear, afraid of falling and being smashed to pieces. Then someone else stands up. When you see her, your pulse beats faster than a rattle, so you mistakenly think that you have met your destined sweetheart. In fact, your pulse will stabilize after you step off the tightrope."

Bai Zhi spoke these words slowly and Chu Yunchuan's heart calmed down as she whispered: "I understand."

"That's good."

Anyone who heard this knew that Bai Zhi wanted to persuade Chu Yunchuan to focus on his thoughts, but he took a different approach and said, "Bai Zhi, you think so clearly, has your pulse ever been faster than a rattle?"

Bai Zhi was choked by his question. After a struggle between her conscience and her conscience, she finally told the truth: "Yes."

"What happens after you get off the rope?"

"...I have to ask you this first."

"Okay." Chu Yunchuan replied, "In my opinion, there is no difference between having a cord and not having one."

"Then let's talk about the second thing." Bai Zhi said in a businesslike tone, "If you want it now, we can drink and enjoy it today. If you want it for a long time, let me make it clear first, I don't believe in the word long-term. Besides, it's rare for me to be resurrected from the dead. I just want to live a good life and don't want to be involved in too many troublesome things. What I mean is, I respect the three words "Jingwang Mansion", but it is indeed troublesome no matter how you look at it."

She showed no mercy and led her into a dead end.

That's good, Bai Zhi thought. It's harmful rather than beneficial to have ties together. A short pain is worse than a long one. The sooner it's clear, the sooner you'll feel better.

Even after she said these words, she felt a tightness in her chest.

Chu Yunchuan lowered his eyelashes this time and did not speak for a long time. Bai Zhi nodded: "Okay, then let's drink and enjoy today, come back with me to play house for a few days, and then I will return to your house to be the King of Jing. We have known each other for a while, and if you want to come to Wenxianglou to eat and drink in the future, I will treat you."

"Bai Zhi." Chu Yunchuan suddenly said, "If I am no longer the King of Jing, will you take me home?"
