Watching the Rain (Part Two) (This chapter is free)
Chen Caozhi's brows furrowed slightly. Xie Daoyun's disguising herself as a man was her private affair, and he seemingly ought not to mention it to anyone else. But this particular person was Lu Weiwei. How should he answer? Saying that he had met her, that Xie Daoyun was that Zhu Yingtai, seemed inappropriate; saying that he had never met her would mean deceiving Lu Weiwei, which was even more inappropriate-
"Master Chen, why are you frowning?" Lu Weiwei asked with concern.
Chen Caozhi's face brightened into a smile. "Sometimes someone very familiar can seem like a stranger, while someone you meet for the first time can seem as though you've met before. Isn't that so?"
Lu Weiwei nodded in agreement. Chen Caozhi suddenly took her hand and kissed the back of it. "Wei Rui, will you wait for me to marry you?"
A rosy flush spread across Lu Weiwei's cheeks. "I've been waiting all along," she replied. With sweetness filling her heart, she forgot to ask about Xie Daoyun and followed Chen Caozhi back to the main hall, her steps light.
