Chapter 642
The next day, the sun shone through the gauze curtains into the private bathing palace, casting a soft golden glow on the room.
The air is filled with a light mist, mixed with the fresh scent left by bath products, making people feel particularly comfortable.
Lin Yu woke up slowly, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked up to see Xiadie standing quietly beside him.
"Sir Lin Yu, you're awake." Xiadie bowed slightly, her voice soft.
Lin Yu sat up, looked through the window into the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Xiadie, tell me...why does life fall asleep?" As he spoke, he subconsciously touched the hair of Xing and Sanyueqi who were still sleeping beside him.
He dreamed of some not very good scenes.
Xiadie frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook her head gently, "This is a very profound question, I'm afraid it's difficult for me to answer." There was a hint of depth in her eyes, and then she slowly said, "But death is not the end, it's just a butterfly landing on a branch of dead flowers, it's insignificant."
"I'm sorry for coming here uninvited, but seeing that you haven't gotten up yet, I have no choice but to wait quietly by the side." Xiadie bowed again to express her apology.
"Lady Aglaya sent me to tell you that she has prepared gifts for the three of you and hopes to deliver them in person."
"Hmm...gift, um~what gift?" March 7 was still asleep, but when he heard the word "gift", he instantly became alert, stretched himself, and then woke up.
Her eyes were sparkling and full of anticipation.
March 7's shout also woke up Xing.
Xing rubbed his eyes and looked around sleepily, not yet fully awake.
"You're full of energy just after waking up. Come with me after you wash up." Xiadie looked at the energetic Sanyueqi, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and waited patiently for the three of them to finish packing.
...
The bustling bathhouse was filled with noise and bustling crowds of people.
After Nicardoli was successfully defeated, the tense atmosphere in the city suddenly relaxed.
Xiadie's eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd, and suddenly stopped, with a hint of surprise on her face, "Is that... Master Tibao and Master Tian?"
Following Xiadie's line of sight, I saw Tian standing in front of a stall selling exquisite handicrafts. She looked excited and waved her hands in the air, "Absolutely, you forgot! This is what we have seen! A treasure from my hometown!" Her eyes were wide open, staring at the object on the stall that was emitting a soft luster.
Tibao gently pulled Tian'an's sleeve, trying to comfort her, "Tian, this is not the real thing. We all know that such a fragile product cannot be preserved intact until now..." Tibao was like coaxing a grumpy child.
"Anything is possible! We are also fragile, but we have all survived that...sad history!" Upon hearing this, Tian became even more excited, his eyes slightly red, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
"Look at its color under the light! It's sparkling...exactly the same as in our memory!" She stretched out her hand, carefully trying to touch the artifact.
"Why, don't you want to buy it? If it is bought by someone else tomorrow, we...we may never have another chance..." Tian's voice was choked with sobs and full of anxiety.
"Tian... don't get excited, you need to rest well now..." Tibao frowned, her eyes full of worry. She reached out again and gently stroked Tian's back, trying to calm her down.
Seeing this, the merchant behind the stall hurried out to smooth things over, "Calm down, both of you. If you still want to think about it, I can leave it until tomorrow... No, how about I leave it until you two have thought it over?" Her face was full of smiles and her tone was very sincere, for fear that the two distinguished guests would leave.
"No, that's not necessary. Tian just...she will figure it out tomorrow. I won't disturb your business for now." Tibao smiled apologetically.
"Tian just what? Tian is just very angry!" Tian suddenly shook off Tibao's hand, took a step back, with a look of grievance on his face.
"Because you forgot, you forgot mom! Mom gave us the same thing!" Her voice was crying, which seemed particularly abrupt in the noisy bathhouse.
"Tian..." Tibao opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to comfort Tian.
"Well...see you tomorrow? I hope you two will be reconciled tomorrow..." The businessman smiled awkwardly and looked at the two of them.
"Well, see you tomorrow, and I wish you a prosperous business." Tibao forced a smile and responded to the businessman.
Afterwards, Tibao followed the angry Tian and left. Her steps were a little heavy, and she looked back at the stall from time to time.
The merchant looked at Tibao and Tian'an's departing backs and sighed helplessly, "Ah, these two adults are really confusing."
Xiadie stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what were Master Tian and Master Tibao talking about just now?"
The merchant recognized Xiadie and said with a wry smile, "Long time no see, Miss Xiadie. I don't quite understand either. I like to collect handicrafts. I bought this little thing as a decoration at the Marble Market before. The two adults just passed by. Lord Tian took a liking to it at first sight and said it was a treasure from his hometown. Lord Tibao thought it was a replica and said that the glass products from Janusapolis could not survive the Golden War. For some reason, Tian got angry."
"Is that so..." Xiadie listened, looked at the handicraft thoughtfully, then raised her head and said, "Sir, I want to buy this item... Can you please give it up?"
"That's fine, but if this is really a relic of Janusapolis, it must be worth a lot of money, Miss Xiadie, after all, I am a businessman, you see..."
"I understand. Go ahead and make your offer."
"Wait a moment."
"My friend, what do you think?" The businessman looked at Lin Yu.
"Are you trying to blackmail the Golden Clan? Tibao has already identified it as a fake, and you just said that yourself."
"Well...well...well, I'll just pay the cost price and do Miss Xiadie a favor. I hope you'll support my shop in the future." A trace of embarrassment flashed across the businessman's face, and he quickly laughed it off.
"Well, thank you very much." Xiadie bowed slightly to express her gratitude.
After leaving the stall, Xiadie stopped and looked at Lin Yu, "Thank you for speaking for me. I usually stay at home and rarely go out. Although I have some savings, I am really not good at dealing with others, let alone bargaining for shopping. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would cost a lot of money. If it were other vendors, they might really let me spend a lot of money to buy this thing."
"The authenticity of this handicraft is not important. What matters is that it has special meaning to Lady Tian and can remind her of her hometown." Xiadie gently picked up the handicraft and looked at it with soft eyes, as if she saw the joy of Tian when she received the gift.
"I am usually taken care of by Lord Tian, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to prepare a small gift for Lord Tian to express my gratitude, but I didn't know what to give. I happened to come across this today, and it can be regarded as fate's secret help. I will choose it as a gift." Xiadie's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"It's just that... this little gadget is indeed very fragile. I plan to process it a little bit when I get back and sew it into the wool felt. This way, no matter how active Lady Tian is, she won't have to worry about breaking it." Xiadie carefully put away the handicraft.
"Okay, this is just a small episode on the road." Xiadie took Lin Yu's hand and said in a light tone.
"Let's continue on our way. Please follow me. Ms. Aglaya has been waiting for some time." After saying that, Xiadie pulled Lin Yu forward.
Lin Yu only felt his wrist tighten, and seeing Xiadie suddenly pulling his hand, he felt an indescribable surprise in his heart.
Subconsciously, he turned to look at Xing and Sanyueqi.
At this moment, Xing was holding his hands in front of his chest, his expression was calm, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
And March 7 blinked, with a smirk on his face, and winked at Lin Yu, as if to say, "Wow, this is such an unexpected surprise."
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Lin Yu felt a little relieved.
After hesitating for a moment, he didn't care much, thinking to himself, it's a good idea to take advantage of this benefit that is given to you for free.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a barely perceptible hint of joy.
