I think my luck is turning around.

"What's your name? I saw you in the front hall this morning. You're a guard too?"

Huang Lan's doubts have already arisen, but Lin Jingqing remains silent, perhaps because he doesn't want to pay attention to this guy.

"That's really strange. Your position shouldn't be this low!"

Huang Lan questioned Lin Jingqing's identity. He was supposed to be sitting in the front hall, so how did he end up in the same position as him? This was a matter of class. Lin Jingqing just felt that this guy was overthinking things, and then said impatiently, "I'm your superior. Speak less and observe more."

Lin Jingqing's explanation wasn't entirely wrong, and it was quite reasonable. On the way up, Huang Lan actually talked a lot, but when Lin Jingqing told him to shut up, he would talk to other people, acting like a chatterbox.

No one in the guard wanted to talk to Huang Lan because he was so noisy and distracting. Huang Lan, bored, walked over to the merchant's carriage. At this moment, Ji Xixi, with her hair tied back and dressed neatly, was clearly disguised as a man. Huang Lan didn't even look at her and spoke directly.

"Brother, what are we going to buy in Yanfei Kingdom this time?"

Ji Xixi simply looked down at Huang Lan, who was walking with the horse. Ji Xixi originally wanted to remain silent, but this guy started talking again.

"Brother, what's your surname? What's your name?"

I don't remember my name. They said my name is Huang Lan. I don't know why they know my name, or if it's even my real name.

But this name sounds familiar; it's probably mine! What's your name?

"Ji Xixi".

"Oh! Brother Ji, is this your first time being a merchant? Your first time traveling with a caravan?"

I feel like this is my first time; I'm not familiar with this at all. I think it's my first time traveling with a caravan, but they're all so serious. Was I being a bit too noisy? They seem a little annoyed with me.

"Hmm." Ji Xixi's response was perhaps polite, or perhaps she genuinely felt he was being a bit noisy and was indeed being disliked. However, when that "hmm" came out, Huang Lan, who hadn't paid much attention to it before, was completely stunned.

"You didn't have to say it so directly!"

Only then did Huang Lan raise her head to look at Ji Xixi's face. However, from this upward angle, she couldn't see the whole face, but she felt as if she was seeing a very beautiful person.

Has anyone ever told you that you are very good-looking?

"No."

"Then they're all blind. You're really beautiful."

"Focus on your work and stop talking nonsense."

"No, really, bro, you're really good-looking."

Listening to what Huang Lan said, I always felt that this guy was a little insincere! Ji Xixi looked down at the guy, whose gaze was very intense, and Ji Xixi only glanced at him once before not daring to look again.

It was time to rest after a day's journey. Ji Xixi dismounted and stood there. Only then did Huang Lan realize that his brother was much shorter than him. Huang Lan looked down at Ji Xixi, then placed his hand on the other's shoulder and patted it a few times, as if showing off his height.

"Do not touch me."

He wasn't angry; he was just keeping his distance. In Huang Lan's eyes, however, the young man was angry and concerned about his height, so Huang Lan immediately stopped.

"Feel sorry."

Ji Xixi didn't reply, but walked towards Ji Xia, with Huang Lan following directly. When they reached Ji Xia's side, Ji Xia saw the two of them coming together and looked at them differently. But Ji Xixi refused to give her any glances.
