On the high eaves, Wan Ning sat alone in silence, leaning against the tiles of the roof, looking up into the ethereal distance. Today, she finally knew what happened to Princess Le Yan, and she couldn't help but feel sympathetic and sad. She was also increasingly entangled in thoughts about whether all this had anything to do with her being chosen by fate to come to this world.

When can I go home?

While she was thinking quietly, she heard a rustling sound behind her. Wan Ning didn't turn around but already knew the identity of the person. She hid her sensitive emotions and said softly, "It's cold and foggy. If you catch a cold, Li Song will blame me for not taking good care of you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a thick cloak was draped over her shoulders. The furry collar was enough to cover her even in the cold and snowy winter, and it made her feel warm as soon as she put it on.

Ziheng sat down with her and whispered, "You knew it was cold, but you still sat on the roof so thinly. If you catch a cold, I will blame myself for not taking good care of you, Yanyan."

This cloak was so heavy that it blocked the cold wind but prevented the body heat from dissipating. Wan Ning had no choice but to quietly open a hole with her hands to let the wind in, which made her feel much more comfortable.

Her attitude softened, and she asked, "How did you know I was here?"

"I know you best. When you're in a bad mood, you love to go to the rooftop." Ziheng tilted his head to check and said, "There's also good wine to accompany you. I wonder why Yanyan didn't drink today?"

Wan Ning waved her hand and said, "I've given up. Drinking makes things worse. I won't drink anymore."

"really?"

"Do you suspect me?" Wan Ning pinched his fingers and turned the tables on him.

"Of course not, I believe..."

"They are all excuses, you just don't believe me." Wan Ning pretended to cover her ears and didn't want to listen to his explanation. She played with him and saw that he looked nervous and seemed to have taken it seriously. Then she let him go and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. You are taking it more seriously than before."

"I'm always very nervous in front of you." Ziheng held her palm and said this naturally. He didn't look nervous at all, and it sounded more like a joke.

"I see you look calm, how can that be true? Forget it, I can't open Master Ziheng's heart to see what I am like." Wan Ning pretended to be arrogant and teased him. After a few rounds, he had mastered Wan Ning's routine and could handle her jokes without changing his expression. Wan Ning felt that it was no longer interesting, so she got back to business and asked, "Do you know what I'm thinking, Ziheng?"

"Me!" He looked straight ahead and spoke nonsense in a serious manner, which made Wan Ning roll her eyes and wonder why she hadn't noticed his shameless nature before.

"When did you become so smooth-talking? Why didn't I notice it before? If you don't want to be an emperor, you'll throw away your burdens as well."

"Useless things can be thrown away if they are thrown away." There was a hint of pride in his words, waiting for praise.

Wan Ning understood his thoughts, but deliberately didn't praise him. She smiled at Ziheng's reaction, and when he lowered his head, she gave him a thumbs up and said, "Give up in time, stop loss in time, and you will be free from trouble! I think you are very wise. Young master will definitely make a fortune in this life."

Ziheng put his arm around her shoulders and said cheerfully, "Thanks to your good words, I have finally become a rich man from an emperor. From now on, you will follow me and make a fortune."

Wan Ning nodded and thought, but did not answer. Ziheng, however, became anxious, and twisted her shoulders, asking, "Why, Yanyan doesn't want to get rich?"

Wan Ning immediately shook her head and waved her hands. Come on, who doesn’t want to be rich? This wish is admittedly a bit stingy and tacky, but it will make it less tacky.

"Of course not, what's yours is mine, no need to ask." Wan Ning generously put her arm around his shoulders and pulled him into her arms. Ziheng also leaned on her shoulders with a bit of shyness, and their positions were instantly switched.

"As long as a person lives in this world, there will be traces left behind. But you, me, and... all sent people to look for Princess Le Yan, but to no avail. I just realized that she disappeared very close to when I came here. I wondered if she went to my world, so there is no trace left here."

Even though he had prepared himself mentally for a long time, when Ning brought up her own world that night, Ziheng's heart still twitched inexplicably, and then returned to normal.

Asked gently: "Is your world... okay?"

Wan Ning turned her head and looked at him, thinking that Ziheng must be worried about whether Princess Le Yan was happy living in a strange world. She didn't know whether Princess Le Yan could bear her life as a social animal, and whether she would scold her for not being able to stay in that world. She had little money left, and her room was only a small one, not even as big as Xiang Wanxuan's kitchen. She had to work like a slave for her boss in the company.

In order not to make Ziheng worry, Wan Ning said generously: "Of course, don't be too good, there are all kinds of food that are not available here, and you don't need to use your legs to travel, there are cars."

"There are also cars and horses here!" Ziheng followed and said.

Wan Ning waved her hand and said, "It's different. Your cars have to be pulled by horses, but we have more advanced power and can fly. It takes less than an hour to get to... Nanye City. I'm not kidding. I can really reach the moon in the sky, catch turtles in the five oceans, and browse things around the world at home. Don't worry, even if Princess Le Yan really goes to my world, her safety is absolutely guaranteed. I'm worried that she won't want to come back because she's too obsessed."

Wan Ning praised her world and told the truth, but she also wanted to comfort Ziheng and tell him not to worry. But after hearing these words, Ziheng did not look relieved, but felt an indescribable pain and even more worried.

Wan Ning pursed her lips, leaned over to hold Ziheng's hands, and whispered to comfort him: "What's wrong with you? Don't worry, that world is very good, don't worry."

Ziheng's expression became even more miserable. He pulled his hands out of Wan Ning's palms and gently held them in his arms.

"What's wrong with you?" Wan Ning asked puzzledly. It was rare to see him like this.

"That world is so beautiful, you must want to go home too, right?"

Wan Ning was suddenly speechless and thought to herself, "So that's what you were thinking about. So all the words I just said were in vain!"

Unable to bear it, Wan Ning patted his back gently and comforted him softly to make up for what she had just said: "It's...it's not that good. There are a lot of worries and troubles everywhere. You have to work overtime every day and think about making money. Even if the sun is bright and the flowers are fragrant, you can only miss it."
