Chen Fan: "..."
For a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Looking at Na'er's clear eyes, devoid of even the slightest impurity, he suddenly realized something.
That was right.
Although Na'er was exceptionally clever and always liked using little tricks to "flirt" with him, her heart was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
She knew absolutely nothing about the ambiguous matters between men and women.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan felt both helpless and amused.
He raised a hand and habitually rubbed her soft silver long hair.
"It's nothing. Just some boring gossip."
"These matters are still too early for you. I'll tell you about them later."
"Oh..."
Na'er nodded as if she understood, though she did not quite.
But after taking only two steps, she stopped again, pursing her rosy lips with dissatisfaction written all over her face.
"What do you mean, too early?!"
She looked at Chen Fan righteously and gave a huff.
"I've already shared a room with you. What could there possibly be that I'm not allowed to know?"
Chen Fan staggered and nearly lost his footing.
Seeing Na'er's serious expression that plainly said, "I'm being perfectly reasonable," he could only shake his head with a bitter smile and hurriedly change the subject.
The days quietly passed amid such warmth and amusement.
One afternoon.
An honored guest arrived outside the small courtyard where Chen Fan and Na'er lived.
Dressed in a moon-white robe, wearing a purple-gold crown, with a face as refined as jade and a gentle temperament.
It was none other than Xue Qinghe, the current Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Is Brother Chen Fan here?"
Xue Qinghe's voice was as gentle as ever, carrying a faint smile.
The courtyard gate creaked open.
But it was Na'er who emerged.
