A life of two souls traveling through time

In order to avoid the troubles caused by Li Yunye, Jiang Siyao hasn't dared to leave the Li Mansion for a month.

Since she was a dancer before she traveled through time, she was quite self-disciplined in her life. Even now that she has changed her gender, her first priority when getting up early every day is still to go for a morning run and stretch her legs. However, her stiff and weak body caused her a lot of suffering.

After breakfast, she began to catch up on the current social culture and customs with the help of Ange; for lunch, she went to the Plum Garden to accompany Mrs. Li again. Although she felt bored and restrained, she could not refuse this nominal mother under the same roof.

"Young Master...Young Master..."

It was another snowy afternoon. Ange climbed up the tower breathlessly and rushed in.

"What's happened that makes you so anxious?" Li Yunye, who had finally calmed down and was studying music by himself with a piece of music, was suddenly interrupted. He threw the music score away angrily and asked with a sullen face.

"Sir, this is another invitation from Miss Yanyu." Ange carefully handed over the invitation in his hand.

"What on earth does this woman want to do? Is it endless?" Li Yunye looked at the post in An Ge's homepage with some disgust, and had no intention of answering it.

"Yes, she has sent six invitations in the past month. It seems that she will not give up until she sees you. I never thought that Miss Yanyu has such deep feelings for you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You said before that Yanyu has always been indifferent to Li...to me. How can you associate her sudden attentiveness with deep love for me this time?" Before Ange could finish, Li Yunye raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes.

"But other than this, what other reason could there be for Miss Yu to be so humble?"

"What else can a prostitute do? Of course it's business."

"But sir, Ange feels that Miss Yanyu is definitely not a person like Mama Qin..."

"How much do you know at such a young age? Has she ever been open with you? It's normal for a famous courtesan to create a persona to attract fans!"

"This..." The young master's words made Ange speechless for a moment. After a pause, he asked again: "Young master, are you still ignoring me this time?"

"Where are you meeting this time?"

"Yunxian Lake outside West City."

"Yunxian Lake...it must be sparsely populated on a snowy day. What does she want to do?"

"But the last few times Miss Xuanyu booked a place, you complained that too many people would affect its reputation..."

A glare came at him, and Ange was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and dared not say anything.

"Go and tell the person who sent the invitation that I will be on time this time."

"Sir? Ange doesn't understand. You ignored me the first five times, but this time..."

"I'm moved by this woman's perseverance, isn't it?"

"Sir, your heart of stone cannot be moved so easily..."

"Your tongue can be cut off and fed to the dogs."

Ange shuddered, put down the invitation and hurried downstairs.

Looking at the still elegant handwriting on the invitation, Li Yunye sneered: "It's like a piece of taffy that can't be thrown away. I want to see what this woman wants to do."

The next day, Li Yunye deliberately arrived at Yunxian Lake outside the western suburbs of Qile City an hour later than the agreed time.

The snow-covered Yunxian Lake is indeed sparsely populated and appears particularly peaceful. Without the disturbance of pedestrians, it looks even more magnificent and like a fairyland: snow surrounds the lake, pavilions and corridors stretch out, thin smoke curls on the surface of the green lake, and an exquisite ship is moored in the center of the lake, and the sound of a piano wafting from the ship is like the sound of a ringing pendant.

"The person playing the piano must be a great god!"

As soon as he got off the carriage, he heard the elegant and melodious sound of the piano, and Jiang Siyao couldn't help but admire it.

"Ms. Xuanyu's piano playing has always been relaxing and enjoyable." An Ge on the side also nodded in ecstasy.

"She's the one playing the piano?" Jiang Siyao immediately felt disappointed and walked towards the dock with a pout.

"Hello, Mr. Li, my girl has been waiting on the boat for a long time." There was a small wooden boat parked at the pier. A little girl dressed as a maid was already waiting on the boat. She bowed to Li Yunye and spoke in a childish voice.

"Sir, this is the maidservant beside Miss Xuanyu, her name is Hongnu." An Ge, who was following behind Li Yunye, came forward and reminded in a low voice.

Li Yunye nodded without saying anything and got on the small wooden boat. The lake surface suddenly became green and rapid, and the boat slowly sailed towards the building ship in the center of the lake.

After the music ended, the door of the room on the top floor of the ship was gently opened by the maid Hongnu: "Mr. Li, please come in."

"Thank you."

As soon as she entered, the door was closed again by Hong Nu. The warm fragrance in the room was suitable, elegant and cozy, making Jiang Siyao, who had just come in from the snow, feel comfortable. But Ange was blocked outside the door, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy when she thought about facing this legendary courtesan alone.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Have you become estranged from Xuanyu? I sent invitations six times before I got your response, but I didn't want to keep Xuanyu waiting." The pearl curtain was slightly lifted, and a beautiful woman in elegant clothes walked out lightly, smiling softly.

Jiang Siyao went from feeling uneasy at first to being stunned: Is this the courtesan of Hongxiang Pavilion? I thought she was her usual gorgeous and charming self, but unexpectedly she was an elegant beauty. However, she also fits the temperament of being both talented and beautiful as described by Ange.

"Young Master, are you still angry with Xuanyu?" Seeing that Li Yunye didn't say a word, the beauty was neither anxious nor annoyed. She calmly handed a cup of hot tea to Li Yunye and continued, "I did go to Southern Xinjiang for important matters before. I'm sure Mother Qin has explained this to you. It's not that Xuanyu is avoiding you on purpose."

Before coming, Jiang Siyao asked Ange again about the relationship between Li Yunye and the courtesan. She also learned that the courtesan suddenly came to Qile City a year ago and made a sensation in the city with her superb piano skills and unique sword dance. Naturally, many high-ranking officials, businessmen, and talented men admired her, and Li Yunye was one of them.

More than a month ago, Li Yunye was heartbroken when he learned that the courtesan had suddenly left Qile City. No matter how Qin's mother explained, he believed that the courtesan had left without saying goodbye. That's why he trampled on and indulged his own body in a rage, and that's why her soul traveled through time and space to replace her.

"The matter has passed, and I have long forgotten it." Li Yunye took the tea from the other person's hand, looked out the window pretending to be nonchalant, and said guiltily.

"Young Master is right. The matter is over and no one should mention it from now on." Li Yunye's deliberate evasion and perfunctory response surprised Xuan Yu a little, but it was only fleeting.

"Girl, is there anything else you want to ask me out for? If not......"

"You're leaving right after you got here. Are you starting to avoid suspicion with Xuanyu?"

"Ahem, my mother has been very strict with my children lately." Even though she was extremely nervous, Jiang Siyao was somewhat impressed by her own excuse.

"Sir, you have always admired Huanyu's musical skills. I have recently composed a new piece of music, which is just right for you to appreciate." Huanyu did not seem to care about this answer. Instead, she sat back behind the pearl curtain. Her slender hands were about to pluck the strings, but a skinny and slender hand pressed heavily on the strings.

"Girl, I came here in the snow and wind not to listen to your music. Let's be frank. Why did you send me six invitations to come out?"

Who wouldn't want to sit down and listen to the piano skills of today's professionals? But Jiang Siyao clearly knew the purpose of her coming here today, and she was not a person who could keep her composure, so she was naturally annoyed when she saw Yanyu's mysterious look.

"Does Xuanyu have to find a proper reason to ask you out, young master?" Xuanyu still raised her eyes calmly and smiled.

"What else? Just reminiscing? Listening to music? Or talking about love? Sorry, I'm not interested in any of that. Goodbye!"

When the door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew in. Li Yunye, who was in a hurry to leave, could not help but shiver. The bead curtain swayed violently in the cold wind. Xuanyu's eyes gradually turned cold, but her slender hands were not affected by the cold air and began to wander on the strings again.

"Miss, has Master Li really changed his temperament as Madam Qin said?" The door was closed again, and the maid Hongnu asked curiously while standing outside the curtain.

The person playing the piano behind the pearl curtain did not respond.

"Hongnu can see that he is no longer as kind to the girl as before... so the girl has to think of a new way to get close to the Li family."

"With the young master of the Zhao family here, why do we need to think about it ourselves?" Yan Yu sneered disapprovingly, and then continued to focus on the music.

Ange followed the young master back to the lakeside. Seeing that the young master had a stern face and remained silent all the way, and listening to the peaceful music of the piano on the boat, she was curious but did not dare to say anything.

"Then Xuanyu has no grudge against our Li family, right?" Li Yunye, who was about to get on the carriage, suddenly turned around and asked Xiang Ange.

"Shouldn't...right?" Ange was confused for a moment when asked this question: "Sir, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just think this person is too mysterious. What does she want to do? Aren't you tired of dealing with people like this?"

"Sir... Miss Huanyu is a very nice person. She is not only beautiful and talented but also sensible and has a good personality. She always has a smile on her face no matter who she is with. I have never seen her frown..." Ange was stunned, scratching the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Heh, man." Without waiting for Ange to finish, Li Yunye rolled his eyes again and got on the carriage.

"But to be honest, she plays the piano beautifully. She can be considered a master-level artist."

The melodious sound of the piano was still floating over Yunxian Lake, and in the carriage, Li Yunye's voice sounded again.
