Someone Who Talks Too Much

"What did you want to ask me?" Ning Sang-sang asked curiously.

Pei Yunluo said, "Get up and come outside with me. We'll talk out there."

Before Ning Sang-sang could react, Ning Hui cut in. "Commandery Princess Yunluo, if you have a question, just ask it here. My older sister scares easily. She can't take you frightening her like this."

Seeing Pei Yunluo constantly target his older sister made Ning Hui deeply unhappy.

Ning Sang-sang nodded too, backing him up. "Commandery Princess Yunluo, I scare easily. I can't take being frightened."

Watching the two of them sing the same tune, Pei Yunluo's mouth twitched. She took a deep breath and said to Ning Sang-sang, "Ning Sang-sang, stop pretending. I know perfectly well what sort of person you are. Get up and come outside with me. I have a question for you."

Ning Sang-sang raised an eyebrow, inwardly amused. Haha, Pei Yunluo says she knows what sort of person I am. What exactly does she know about me? We haven't even known each other for a day.

"Commandery Princess Yunluo, what sort of person do you think I am?" Ning Sang-sang asked curiously, rather wanting to know why Pei Yunluo was so hostile toward her.

Pei Yunluo said, "Someone who talks too much."

Ning Sang-sang: "..."

Damn, Pei Yunluo actually knows I talk too much. Looks like there's no hiding this chatterbox soul of mine, wherever I go.

Just then, Ning Chengxiao spoke. "Sang-sang, Commandery Princess Yunluo has a question for you. Go outside with her."

Pei Yunluo was the sort who would never give up until she got what she wanted. If Sang-sang refused to go outside with her, she would probably keep chattering away here and give everyone a headache.

Hearing this, Ning Sang-sang stood up and said to Pei Yunluo, "Let's go outside."

Pei Yunluo gave her a huff, then turned and walked away.

Ning Sang-sang: "?"

Opening a psychiatric hospital in ancient times was becoming a matter of urgent necessity!

The two reached an empty corridor. Pei Yunluo suddenly stopped, looked at Ning Sang-sang, and asked, "Ning Sang-sang, I have a friend. The man she likes betrayed her. What do you think she should do?"

Ning Sang-sang raised an eyebrow at that and muttered inwardly:

Isn't she talking about herself? No wonder she blew up at me earlier as though she'd swallowed gunpowder. So she found out that pretty boy Zhang Yu was no good and decided to take it out on me. Pei Yunluo really has something wrong with her! If Zhang Yu's no good, go settle the score with him. What's the point of blowing up at me?

Though Ning Sang-sang grumbled inwardly, not a hint of displeasure showed on her face. She told Pei Yunluo earnestly, "Commandery Princess Yunluo, I think your friend should have someone give that man a thorough beating and show him what's what."

That pretty boy Zhang Yu deserves a good thrashing. But Pei Yunluo is so love-addled that she definitely won't listen to me. She loves Zhang Yu to death and thinks she can't live without him.

Even if Zhang Yu finds another woman and betrays her, she'll definitely forgive him as long as he gets on his knees and begs.

After she marries Zhang Yu, she'll even raise his mistress's child as her own. What a peerless saint! That love-addled brain of hers is beyond saving!

Pei Yunluo: "..."

Was she really that stupid?!

Once she had learned that Zhang Yu was no good, she had wanted nothing more to do with him for the rest of her life, nor did she intend to forgive him. What nonsense was Ning Sang-sang spouting? Not only would she forgive Zhang Yu, she would marry him, then raise the child he had with his mistress as her own? That was sheer idiocy. She would never do anything like that.

Ning Sang-sang continued, "Commandery Princess Yunluo, tell your friend she absolutely must not forgive that man. Once a man betrays you, he'll do it countless more times. Go tell your friend to forget him. Three-legged toads may be hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere."

Little Yunluo, use your head. You have family standing, beauty, and a lovely figure. What sort of man couldn't you find? Why insist on hanging yourself from that crooked-necked tree called Zhang Yu?

After hearing Ning Sang-sang's words, Pei Yunluo fell silent for a while. Then she raised her head, looked at Ning Sang-sang, and said, "Thank you, Ning Sang-sang."

Without waiting for Ning Sang-sang to respond, she turned and left, leaving Ning Sang-sang standing alone in the corridor.

Watching Pei Yunluo's retreating figure, Ning Sang-sang shook her head gently and thought, Being love-addled really never ends well.

Ning Sang-sang returned to the table. As soon as she sat down, Ning Hui asked curiously, "Sang-sang, what did Commandery Princess Yunluo ask you?"

"Girl things that men aren't allowed to hear," Ning Sang-sang said.

Ning Hui: "..."

All right, he wasn't curious anymore.
