A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

Su Aige had already reported the relevant matters to the emperor the day before, so she did not need to enter the palace again the next day.

Given the nature of her position, she was not required to participate in the morning court session.

In addition, since she had just returned to the capital from a business trip, her superiors had not yet assigned her any new work tasks.

This way, she can have some free time.

Su Aige decided to take this opportunity to have a good time in the capital.

......

On this very day, Su Aige suddenly became interested.

When I opened the closet in my room, I was surprised to find that...

There were even several brand-new winter clothes inside, still in their packaging.

She happily selected one of the most beautiful dresses and carefully began to dress and groom herself.

She then put on a veil and called Xiao Wu and Guo Si to go out together.

After all, these two knew her true identity perfectly well.

Therefore, when she went out dressed in women's clothing, no one objected.

......

The three strolled leisurely through the bustling streets and alleys, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

However, as she walked, Su Aige suddenly noticed a handkerchief falling towards her.

She picked up the handkerchief that had fallen to the ground and looked around.

All I could see was a girl's flushed face quickly turning away.

......

The further you go, the more often you'll encounter this situation.

Some bold and unrestrained women even wrapped small fruits and other items inside their handkerchiefs.

Su Aige observed for a while and noticed that most of everyone's eyes were on Guo Si.

Looking at their blushing faces,

Su Aige looked around at the people in confusion, hoping someone could answer her question.

......

People around were watching the spectacle.

She was a kind-hearted old lady who, seeing Su Aige's confused look, couldn't help but chuckle and say:

"Young lady, are these two young men beside you your brothers?"

Many girls are fond of it.

If it's one of your friends, and there's someone you like among them, you'd better keep an eye on them!

......

Su Aige blushed as her aunt teased her.

Only then did I understand,

It turned out that the handsome faces of the two people beside him attracted the attention of many young women passing by the buildings along the street.

......

Although Guo Si and Xiao Wu kept their eyes fixed straight ahead, completely ignoring these attempts at flattery.

But Su Aige couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

......

Seeing that the women were becoming increasingly brazen in their advances towards Guo Si,

Su Aige could no longer suppress her jealousy and without hesitation reached out her delicate hand to gently hold Guo Si's wrist.

This action instantly caused a commotion among the surrounding crowd, and the women who had been throwing objects at Guo Si saw this.

He immediately changed his target and instead threw everything in his hand at Xiao Wu, who was following behind.

Poor Xiao Wu was caught off guard and got hit squarely by various handkerchiefs and fruits.

He hurriedly dodged, causing passersby to burst into laughter.

......

Su Aige watched as her man was coveted and eyed by other women.

She was very unhappy!

Just then, she spotted a shop nearby and immediately reached out to grab the two people beside her.

They rushed toward the shop as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing them.

Only after the three of them stepped into the store did her anxious heart finally settle down a little.

Finally, they managed to avoid the tragic fate of Xiao Wu being overwhelmed by those ravenous women.

......

After standing still, Su Aige patted her chest to catch her breath, and muttered indignantly:

"I've only been away from the capital for a short time, how come the people here have become so enthusiastic and unrestrained?"

That's almost too much to handle!

In fact, Su Aige was unaware that although she had previously been a well-known eligible bachelor in the capital,

But everyone knew she was a court official, and her status and position were undeniable.

So even if someone wanted to, no one dared to openly express their admiration for her.

......

However, things are different now; these young women are all well-informed.

He knows all the single young talents in the capital like the back of his hand.

When they saw Guo Si and Xiao Wu, these two elegant and refined young men,

They also knew that they were friends of Su Baihu.

How could one possibly suppress the fervor within?

Naturally, just like bees seeing nectar, they swarmed forward and frantically pursued it.

......

After some thought, Su Aige finally understood the reason.

I couldn't help but let out a long, helpless sigh:

"It seems that these days, it's not just girls who need to be careful when they go out."

Even boys need to be mindful of their safety at all times!

......

Having finally escaped that group of overly enthusiastic women,

Only then did Su Aige have the mind to calm down and properly examine the shop.

It turned out to be a rather large teahouse.

The two-story building is decorated in a classic style, exuding charm.

......

At that moment, a quick-witted waiter came forward with a big smile.

Seeing this, Su Aige

He casually pulled a small piece of silver from his waist, tossed it to the waiter, and said loudly:

"Please arrange a private room on the second floor with a good view for us."

The waiter caught the silver coin steadily, his smile widening even further.

He nodded and bowed in agreement, then turned and led the way, taking the three of them up to the second floor.

......

After entering the private room, Su Aige and the others took their seats.

Soon, the table was filled with all sorts of exquisite fruits and snacks.

Meanwhile, downstairs, the storyteller was passionately recounting a captivating tale.

This caused the audience to burst into laughter at times and hold their breath at others.

Meanwhile, Su Aige and the others leisurely enjoyed their food.

They listened with great interest to the storytelling coming from downstairs, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

......

Su Aige sat leisurely in a window seat on the second floor.

She squinted slightly, fully enjoying the warm sunlight streaming in from the window.

The soft, bright light gently caressed her cheeks, as if draping her in a golden veil.

......

At the same time, a fresh and pleasant aroma of incense filled the room.

The wisps of smoke rising were like an elegant dance, gently swirling in the air.

Su Aige took a deep breath of the refreshing aroma and immediately felt a great sense of relaxation and pleasure in both body and mind.

......

At this moment, Xiao Wu was standing to the side.

His long, strong hands with distinct joints skillfully peeled open one golden orange after another.

Each orange segment is crystal clear, radiating an alluring luster like a gemstone.

Su Aige took the orange Xiao Wu handed her and put it in her mouth.

The sweet and sour juice bursts in your mouth instantly, bringing a wonderful taste sensation.

......

Guo Si smiled and poured Su Aige a steaming cup of fragrant tea.

The clear tea soup rippled in the cup, releasing a delicate tea aroma.

Su Aige took a small sip, and the rich flavor slid down her throat, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Just then, Su Aige let out a satisfied sigh.

Downstairs, the storyteller changed the subject.

The story that was being told has ended.

Instead, it was filled with all sorts of gossip and interesting stories about Beijing recently.

......

Su Aige was still somewhat engrossed in the story she had just heard.

She summoned the waiter beside her, took out a piece of silver, and said softly:

"Go tell that gentleman to continue telling the story of the mermaid."

After saying that, she handed the waiter a few copper coins as a tip.

......

The waiter replied cheerfully, "Alright, sir, just wait here!"

He ran downstairs and relayed Su Aige's request to the storyteller.

Not long after, the storyteller's passionate voice came from downstairs again.

......

"Speaking of mermaids, it is said that they have human bodies and fish tails, and their appearance is like that of a celestial being descended to earth."

Their tears, shed when they weep, will transform into dazzling pearls.

The singing was like heavenly music, capable of penetrating the soul.

Even from thousands of miles away, it can easily capture people's hearts and souls...

......

As the storyteller narrated his vivid tale...

The entire teahouse was immersed in this mysterious and captivating story.

"A handsome young man,"

While fishing, they encountered a mermaid woman, and they...

Su Aige listened with rapt attention, secretly marveling to herself:

"Isn't this just a certain persimmon's audiobook?!"
