Now that Li Yu changed into his human form, the duration was one hour. In other words, after the hour was up, he would change back to a fish. If the hour was not up, he must remain in human form. Cancelling the transformation was impossible. The shitty system didn’t provide him with a cancellation method.
Li Yu saw that he was just about to be trapped in the room by Jing-wang again. Although this room was big, there was nowhere to hide. Jumping into the wardrobe or hiding behind a curtain was practically asking for death.
Li Yu jumped up swiftly, running over to open a window. Looks like he really needed to jump through a window once more.
He remembered this window. When he used the shapeshifting medicine, he climbed through it once. The fake mountain was right next to it. He was familiar with this path!
Li Yu’s fingers went to fiddle with the window handle, but the originally very easily opened window actually couldn’t be opened!
What’s going on?
Li Yu shook it twice in panic. The window handle didn’t budge at all. He suddenly realized that the reason this window couldn’t be opened was likely because it had been sealed shut.
Who would seal a window? There’s no need to ask. But when was it sealed? Why didn’t he know it at all?
Li Yu felt sweat clinging to his back. If this window didn’t work, then let’s try some other ones.
However, after trying everything, Li Yu despairingly discovered that they all didn’t work. And plus, there were guards outside the door. This he knew. It looks like he can’t get out.
Gale’s barks were getting closer and closer. Li Yu lifted his head. If he got captured by Jing-wang……
Jing-wang has been searching for him for this long. Would Jing-wang kill him directly?
Did he need to say: Stop, master! I’m your pet fish!
It was hard to imagine what kind of expression Jing-wang would make after learning Li Yu was his pet fish, but if he didn’t say it and made up some random lie, it won’t take long for it to be exposed. If he landed in Jing-wang’s hands, Jing-wang didn’t even need to do anything. As soon as Li Yu changed back to a fish, he’d be exposed……
The main mission was still missing the last step. Because he was busy trying to rescue people, Li Yu didn’t do his best to create the ‘intimate encounter.’ If Jing-wang became aware of his true identity, not killing him was already lucky enough; the other definitely wouldn’t allow him to continue doing tasks in the future.
Was there really nothing he could do?
Beads of sweat gathered on the tip of Li Yu’s nose. His gaze swept past every object in the room desperately.
Jing-wang and Ye QingHuan followed closely behind the wildly dashing Gale.
It looked like Gale was just about to run into the back courtyard, looking like it was about to dash straight into Jing-wang’s room. Jing-wang felt a sense of astonishment grow inside his heart.
He was already suspecting that the youth who escaped before was the one who sent Gale with the letter. Could it be? Under his strict and meticulous pursuit, the youth still didn’t leave his estate this entire time?
Jing-wang recalled for a moment that the subordinates he sent out really didn’t report back any useful information. At first he thought it was because the thief was too cunning. Yet this person continued to appear inside his estate repeatedly, leaving behind traces in his room……
Did he make a mistake? Has this person been hiding inside the estate this entire time, instead of escaping far away? After all– the most dangerous place was also the safest!
If Gale didn’t go the wrong way, and the thief was really hiding in his room…… he was confident that the other wouldn’t be able to escape this time!
It looked like Gale was just about to barge through the door. Yet suddenly, it stopped, nose taking a whiff to the left, then another whiff to the right.
“Why did you stop?” Ye QingHuan caught up and rubbed his beloved dog’s head.
Gale barked twice, made a turn, and started to head off towards a little bamboo forest outside the house. It ran towards a person standing at the entrance of the bamboo forest.
…… a mistake?
Jing-wang looked at his room with surprise. After a moment of hesitation, he also followed Gale towards the bamboo forest.
At this moment, Li Yu felt like he just encountered a terrifying enemy: QQQ This fish almost died of fright.
He didn’t know why Gale changed directions and didn’t come in, but there was one thing he was certain. This sudden change of direction by Gale really helped him out a lot. He just happened to hit the time limit……
As long as he could change back into a fish and return to the fish tank, his cover won’t be exposed!
Gale ran in front of the person near the bamboo forest and started to wag its tail. It jumped around happily at the person. This person in long white robes crouched down and affectionately rubbed Gale’s head. Gale seemed to like this person very much and circled them several times.
“Who are you?” Ye QingHuan examined this person. He noticed this person’s clean attractive appearance. If it weren’t for his male attire, Ye QingHuan would have mistaken him for a woman at first.
This person greeted him politely in a not servile, yet not overbearing manner, saying: “Answering your lordship, I live in this estate’s QingXi courtyard…… I’m Chu YanYu. Originally I was passing by here, but for some unknown reason, your beloved dog came running over to me.”
“So you’re called Chu YanYu…… Gale seems to like you alot.” Ye QingHuan gave an open mouthed smile, but it didn’t mean anything special. Ye-shizi was normally pretty friendly towards good-looking people.
Although the other person was a man and Ye QingHuan didn’t like men, this didn’t stop him from appreciating Chu YanYu’s beautiful face.
However, Ye QingHuan didn’t really believe Chu YanYu’s words. What kind of family was the ChengEn Palace Estate? He’s seen all sorts of trickery between the women fighting for favor there. For Gale to jump on an unfamiliar person, this was most likely because of something Chu YanYu did deliberately.
Ye QingHuan’s frequent visits to the Jing Estate weren’t in vain. He at least knew that Jing-wang stuffed many people sent in from outside sources into QingXi courtyard. Looks like this Chu beauty’s arrival wasn’t anything proper.
Who would have thought he’d encounter this kind of thing in the Jing Estate.
Ye QingHuan couldn’t help but laugh. Anyways, this wasn’t his own place. He only needed to watch the fun. There was no need to take matters into his own hands.
The banquet at the Jing Estate wasn’t very long ago. Jing-wang still recognized Chu YanYu. His ice-cold gaze landed on Chu YanYu’s hands. Chu YanYu said he didn’t know why Gale would run towards him, but Jing-wang’s eyesight was sharp. He already noticed the other hastily kicking aside a green colored plant. The green tinge left behind by the plant’s juices still remained on his hand, not yet wiped away.
Jing-wang’s eyes darkened. Chu YanYu was lying, that’s for certain. This person did something deliberately to lead Gale over here.
A feeling of displeasure rose in Jing-wang’s heart. He sent a glance in Ye QingHuan’s direction.
Because Jing-wang and Ye-shizi had left in a hurry, Wang Xi still didn’t manage to catch up. Ye QingHuan unexpectedly found himself to be the interpreter: “……”
Ye-shizi lightly coughed and pretended he didn’t understand at all.

Ever since entering the Jing estate, Chu YanYu has been living in QingXi courtyard. The Jing estate was guarded heavily. It took quite the effort for the 6th Prince to send over a letter, yet the letter only told him to make plans to take down Jing-wang; so that Jing-wang could help them make connections with ChengEn Palace Estate.
Chu YanYu truly wanted to help Mu TianXiao(6). Yet after he entered the estate, he didn’t even see Jing-wang’s face once. The entire Jing Estate treated the people living in QingXi courtyard as outsiders and guarded against them. Naturally, this included him.
In order to help Mu TianXiao(6), he must leave QingXi courtyard first and gain Jing-wang’s attention again.
When Chu YanYu entered the estate, the 3rd Prince gave him plenty of money to win him over. Chu YanYu spent quite a bit to finally bribe a guard responsible for patrolling outside of QingXi courtyard. The people serving Jing-wang’s back courtyard were too hard to bribe. This guard also only agreed to pass along some words and phrases to him. Most of it was useless information.
This time the guard told Chu YanYu that Ye-shizi brought his dog to the Jing Estate. Jing-wang and Ye-shizi were searching for a person– someone with good penmanship; this guard wasn’t serving these two people personally so they didn’t actually know very clearly what was going on. After Chu YanYu learned of this, he decided to use Ye-shizi’s dog to appear in front of Jing-wang and recommend himself along the way.
He read extensively in the past. From the books, he once read that dogs loved a type of sweet scented plant. Someone in QingXi courtyard was growing this kind of plant. Chu YanYu devised a plan and obtained some of the leaves. Then, he begged the guard to let him leave QingXi courtyard once. Actually, people living in QingXi courtyard can occasionally go out for a walk. It’s just that they couldn’t go too far from the courtyard and needed a guard to follow them.
For the sake of money, the guard helped him; the requirement was for the guard to follow him personally. Chu YanYu exited QingXi courtyard like he wished. While the guard wasn’t prepared, he left the guard behind.
He heard the guard describe the general arrangement of the Jing Estate and did his best to walk towards the direction where he could encounter Jing-wang. From afar, he saw Jing-wang and a young man chasing a black colored dog– he felt like the guard didn’t lie. The young man must be the heir of ChengEn Palace Estate. The dog was the heir’s beloved pet.
Chu YanYu suppressed his fear of dogs and ripped the plant into pieces, painting the juice of the leaves on his fingers. The dog’s nose was very keen. Sure enough, it was attracted over here from very far away.
Chu YanYu didn’t have any status or title in the Jing Estate. He was only someone stuffed in from the outside. He didn’t even count as a servant so he didn’t even have the right to refer to himself as ‘this servant’ in front of Jing-wang. Before when he followed the 6th Prince, Mu TianXiao(6) was close to him and knew of his high ambitions. The 6th Prince never requested anything of him. Chu YanYu didn’t want to refer to himself as ‘this commoner,’ so eccentrically used ‘I.’ Although this seemed refined and courteous, in actuality, this was extremely inappropriate.
If Wang Xi heard this, he would have scolded him severely. However, with Ye-shizi and Jing-wang…… one never really cared about these empty courtesies; the other was just about to get angry, but it wasn’t because of Chu YanYu’s self-address.
Jing-wang was very displeased with Chu YanYu’s self-assertive action that led Gale off track, disrupting Gale’s original path.
Chu YanYu was almost practically saying: I’m the person you’re searching for. Jing-wang stared at him for a while, then sneered coldly.
Chu YanYu felt nervous from being stared at. Although the 6th Prince wanted him to take down Jing-wang, and Chu YanYu also told himself that he must make Jing-wang fall in love, Jing-wang was a mute. Chu YanYu really didn’t know how to see through a mute’s thoughts and needs. In anycase, the other’s expression wasn’t infatuation right now. On the contrary, it made him somewhat apprehensive.
At this time, Wang-gonggong finally caught up. Jing-wang raised his chin and moved his fingers. Wang Xi examined the gestures and ordered people to prepare brush and ink. Jing-wang casually wrote down a few words and threw it at Chu YanYu.
Chu YanYu didn’t know what to do with it. Wang Xi said: “His highness wants you to write down these words again.”
Ye QingHuan came over to take a look, silent but with a smile on his face. Chu YanYu didn’t know, but he knew. The words that Jing-wang picked to write were the same words that were on the letter.
Since Chu YanYu voluntarily appeared to say that he was the person they were searching for, then of course he had to verify it with his handwriting.
Chu YanYu gave thanks and carefully deliberated for a moment. Then, he wrote those words. First, he wrote in a rather elegant and small script. In order to leave a deep impression on Jing-wang, he even showed off his ambidexterity and rewrote the words with his other hand in a confident and carefree manner.
He was just frustrating over how he couldn’t display all of his talents. Although everyone who saw him would always praise him for his attractive appearance, Chu YanYu was still most pleased with his own talents. What was talent? This was it.
Unfortunately for his talent, Jing-wang only ended up apathetically glancing at it once, and then sparing Chu YanYu with a tiny bit of his gaze. It was not even compared to the time Jing-wang used to examine the brush he just finished using.
Jing-wang brushed off his sleeves in disgust. Wang Xi immediately said: “His highness said it’s not right and wants you to get lost.”
Chu YanYu: “……”
Chu YanYu wanted to say something else, but Wang Xi already ordered the guards to take him away.
He heard Wang Xi swearing and cursing. Because he left QingXi courtyard without permission and broke the rules, the guard that he bribed as well as himself were both hit two hundred times as punishment.
The guard was directly banished from the Jing Estate. Even he, who was full of talent, was dragged back to QingXi courtyard to live and perish on his own. Wang-gonggong said this was Jing-wang’s orders; if Chu YanYu was thrown out and died outside, Jing-wang would have to inform the 3rd Prince. But if he died in Jing estate, then it’s fine to just bury him.
Chu YanYu was really frightened. Lying on the bed full of injuries, he cried nonstop. No one has ever treated him like this. How could this man be so vicious?
After Gale was lured away by Chu YanYu’s plan, the dog didn’t want to move anymore. No matter how much Ye QingHuan prodded him, Gale only licked his hand, very unperturbed.
Looks like they couldn’t find the person anymore.
Ye QingHuan gave Jing-wang an apologetic smile. He also didn’t think an interruption would occur midway and complicate the issue.
Jing-wang looked at Gale for a while, lost in thought. If Chu YanYu didn’t come running out, the direction Gale was originally heading off to was……
His room.
To go there now, it was probably too late. Nevertheless, Jing-wang still ordered Wang Xi to stand watch as he went to search himself.
“TianChi, I’ll go with you.” Ye QingHuan also wanted to know who sent the letter.
Jing-wang paused for a moment and turned back to look at Ye QingHuan. He shook his head lightly and then walked off himself.
Ye QingHuan: ???
To the side, Wang Xi sighed and said: “My lord, his highness already has a suspect. You can just leave this to the Jing Estate.”
Ye QingHuan’s eyes widened: “Does he have some other clues?……who is it?”
Just thinking about it made Wang Xi somewhat grumpy: “His highness has been investigating this person for a long time. We still don’t know his name, but he seemed to be someone’s male concubine.”
Ye QingHuan: ???
Someone’s male concubine… sent a letter to himself?
Ye QingHuan shook his head in bewilderment. Was his seductiveness and charm as an heir that enticing?
Jing-wang came to the entrance of his room and abruptly pushed open his door. There was no one in the room.
He knew the youth was accustomed to running away and would clean up after himself. Sometimes, the youth even deliberately placed false trails. However, ultimately, there’d be little clues left behind.
Before this, after the youth got in a few times, Jing-wang had ordered Wang Xi to secretly seal the windows. It was impossible for the windows to be opened. At least this time, there was no way for the youth to escape through the windows.
Per usual, Jing-wang gave a look at his fish. The fish was swimming slowly inside the fish tank.
Jing-wang decided that he was going to search for the clues himself this time. First, he walked around the room once, but didn’t gain anything. Because his inner robes and inner pants were stolen every time, once randomly thrown on the floor, once mixed in his dirty clothes, Jing-wang felt like he should start with his clothes. Therefore, he opened his wardrobe.
He didn’t notice at all the gaze that had been following behind him ever since he entered the room.
Inside the crystal tank, the little carp nervously leaned against the wall of the tank, not even daring to breathe loudly as he watched Jing-wang search all over.
Gale didn’t run straight into the room, which gave him more time. Li Yu took off the clothes. After his interdimensional space upgraded, he often used one slot to carry fresh water, leaving the leftover slot to carry other things. After the letter was sent off, one of the slots was empty. It was perfectly capable of storing clothes. However, if he really placed the clothes inside the interdimensional space and Jing-wang couldn’t find them, then he’d still suspect the clothes were stolen.
Therefore, Li Yu simply folded the clothes again and put it back into the wardrobe.
Reality proved that he made the right choice. After Jing-wang opened the wardrobe, his lips curved upwards, but he didn’t seem to have discovered anything……
The next second, Jing-wang who shouldn’t have discovered anything, effortlessly pulled out the clothes that Li Yu wore before!
Li Yu: !!!
Li Yu was so dumbfounded, he forgot to swim. How did Jing-wang do that?
He was already extremely mindful. He didn’t dirty the clothes. After folding the clothes, it was the same as any other garments in the wardrobe. Plus, he didn’t place the ones he wore on the very top. Jing-wang shouldn’t have been able to discover it.
However, Li Yu didn’t know. Ever since his clothes were stolen for the second time, Jing-wang ordered Wang Xi to sew numbers inside the clothes’ lining. When placing the clothes inside the wardrobe, they must be ordered by number……
Since the thief already stole them twice, Jing-wang had a feeling this thief would steal again.
As long as he checked the sequence of numbers, he’d know if anyone touched them– as a result, it really did happen!
But other than this, there were no other gains.
The thief wasn’t trapped as he expected and, instead, managed to escape again.
And it was in a manner that even he was unaware of.
Jing-wang walked over, watching the fish swim as he considered the whereabouts of the youth.
Li Yu was afraid of Jing-wang’s focused, serious expression the most. Too handsome……no wait, no wait, it’s too smart. Li Yu felt like he was always a moment away from blowing his cover. He couldn’t lower his guard.
Gathering his courage, Li Yu decided to sell fish charms once again!
But since Jing-wang has been living with him from sunrise to sunset, normal fish charms probably wouldn’t affect him so easily. It was actually Gale who reminded Li Yu that some dogs liked to chase their own tails and run around in circles; Gale liked to do this. Li Yu decided to copy this and also chase his tail once!
Even if it looked a bit foolish, as long as it can divert Jing-wang’s attention!
Li Yu turned his body and endured his embarrassment as he started to chase the tip of his tail. He told himself nonstop, just don’t think of the tail as a tail……
While giving chase, he surprisingly discovered that the tip of his tail can actually touch his head.
Fish instincts activated, Li Yu, who uncontrollably played with his tail for quite a while: Accidentally played too much again ahhhh!
Jing-wang very easily noticed the fish playing with its own tail. Unconsciously, he also watched for a while. Jing-wang has never seen fish play this game before so he felt its novelty.
After the fish stopped, Jing-wang picked the fish up and placed it into a nearby teacup, stroking it a few times. Li Yu shamelessly used the tail that just hit himself on the head to wrap around Jing-wang’s fingers, coiling them around for a while.
The coldness in Jing-wang’s eyes immediately dissipated as he shook his head with a smile.
Hmph. Outwardly saying no, but still wanting it very much internally huh!
Li Yu saw through his hypocritical master, wrapping his tail around Jing-wang without letting go.
Suddenly, Jing-wang seemed to have seen something. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he stopped playing with Lu Yu, setting the fish upright.
Li Yu: ???
Jing-wang gently pulled off a piece of food crumbs from the area where the fish fin met the fish body.
Li Yu: “……”
Li Yu often ate fish food. It wasn’t strange to occasionally drop fish food crumbs. He was Jing-wang’s pet fish anyways. There’s no need to worry about dirtying the water. The servants were rather diligent about changing it.
But the food crumb here… was pink colored……
Li Yu: Oh fck, the peach blossom cookies!
When he turned into a human, he gluttonously ate a few peach blossom cookies. Before changing back, he even stuffed his mouth full of them. Although he remembered wiping his face, how was he supposed to know he didn’t wipe clean and it still remained on his fish scale after changing back?
Li Yu was very guilty, feeling like his cover was about to be blown again.
Jing-wang thought for a moment. He looked around the room and also turned his guess towards the peach blossom cookies on the table, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
Xiao Yu can jump around inside the house. Most likely, it jumped onto the peach blossom cookies.
Did the fish also want to eat peach blossom cookies?
Jing-wang thought internally: why can’t it eat cookies? Peach blossom cookies were also made of flour. Fish should be able to eat it.
Jing-wang slowly walked over and grabbed the entire plate of today’s peach blossom cookies, moving it over. Squeezing a cookie into pieces, he sprinkled it into the water.
Li Yu froze for a moment and then happily waved his tail. Unexpectedly, not only did Jing-wang not suspect him, Jing-wang was actually personally feeding the peach blossom cookies to him. QQQ, he strangely felt a bit touched.
To a fish, a water soaked cookie piece still tasted pretty good.
Jing-wang saw the fish eating happily and also took a piece. As he placed it in his mouth, he unintentionally glanced at the remaining dessert with the corner of his eye.
Although it was placed in the usual fashion, the number of cookies was obviously…not right.
The royal family was very particular about the items presented. Even with dessert and fruits, the amount must be in auspicious numbers.
However, the ones before his eyes, plus the one in his hand, as well as the piece that was fed to the fish, clearly was the wrong count.
Someone touched the peach blossom cookies……
Realizing this, Jing-wang swiftly put down the cookie in his hand. He knew the servants definitely wouldn’t be this audacious. And there seemed to be only one person who dared to touch the things in his room.
Good thing the other person didn’t poison the cookies, otherwise his fish……
Jing-wang’s gaze fell and landed on the little carp who was currently carrying a small piece of peach blossom cookie on top of its head, while hastily gulping down another piece into its mouth.
Jing-wang: “……”
Xiao Yu was a little cute. It messed up his train of thought.
Jing-wang waved the jade bell and summoned the guards in charge of watching the room.
All of the guards said the same thing: “Before your highness entered this room, only the heir of ChengEn Palace Estate and Wang-gonggong entered here. There definitely wasn’t anyone else. Ye-shizi originally brought his dog inside with him. Then Ye-shizi left. The dog stayed inside the room for a while and then ran out itself.”
As for whether or not Gale had a letter in its mouth when it exited the room, the guards weren’t very clear.
Jing-wang rubbed the center of his brows. This didn’t make sense. If it was only Ye QingHuan and Wang-gonggong, with no one else, then what’s going on with the clothes that were moved and the irregular number of peach blossom cookies?
Even if the thief entered the room while the guards weren’t paying attention, he couldn’t leave. The windows have long been sealed shut.
Jing-wang had made all sorts of arrangements. Yet the thief still managed to enter and exit his room as he pleased.
“TianChi, it looks like Gale recovered.”
With Wang Xi in the lead, Ye QingHuan brought his beloved dog into the room. Gale excitedly rushed in front of the fish tank and wagged its tail vigorously at the little carp, as if expressing that he had finished his task exceptionally and now needed praise.
Li Yu quickly swam over as well and waved his tail twice at it: “Stupid dog, stop hanging around me all the time!”
However, a dog couldn’t understand the words of a fish. As soon as Gale saw the fish swim over, it tried to use its nose to poke the fish again. Gale rammed into the crystal wall several times, but still refused to give up.
With a face full of awkwardness, Ye QingHuan watched at his beloved dog act stupid.
This scene made Jing-wang abruptly recall one thing. When Gale gave the letter to Ye QingHuan, it was partially wet. Right now, the dog still had some vestige of water on it. But the fish tank inside the room wasn’t broken and it was impossible for Gale to get inside the fish tank. Then how exactly did Gale get wet?
Everything was all wrong. From the unidentified youth that he could never find, to the youth’s frequent appearances inside his room, to the fact that no one entered the room yet the clothes and peach blossom cookies were clearly touched……
Jing-wang felt like he was always missing a little something, just one piece, and with this one little thing, he could connect everything and figure out the truth.
Ye QingHuan listened to Wang Xi recount what had happened before one by one, even forgetting to blink. After swallowing his saliva, he said with an uncertain expression: “TianChi, Don’t tell me your room is haunted?”
……
Haunted?
Jing-wang paused and then immediately scoffed. What ghost? Unlikely. At most it was a thief.
Even if there really was a ghost, he wasn’t afraid.
Gale excitedly barked a few times, still wanting to poke the fish. Then Jing-wang saw his Xiao Yu resourcefully hiding inside the fake mountain, only revealing a tail.
Seeing the fish, Jing-wang, who was unafraid of ghosts, became even more cool-headed.
It couldn’t go on like this. He wasn’t afraid of thieves. He was only afraid that the thief might hurt Xiao Yu. Previous attempts to increase the guards were useless.
Jing-wang gave Wang Xi a glance. Since increasing the defense didn’t work, there’s only one other plan.
Ye QingHuan felt like Jing-wang’s fish and his beloved dog had a connection by fate. He wanted to bring the fish to ChengEn Palace Estate for two days to experience the joy of raising a fish as well. However, he didn’t even get to propose this suggestion to Jing-wang yet when he saw Wang Xi pull out a…… crystal bottle that was larger than usual teacups.
There was a gold cover on this bottle’s opening. The body also had a handle to make it easy to carry.
Wang Xi nimbly opened the crystal bottle and placed some fresh water inside. Then he carefully moved the little carp who was hiding in the fake mountain inside the crystal bottle.
As soon as the little carp entered the crystal bottle, it curiously swam around happily.
Ye QingHuan was stupefied: “What are you guys trying to do?”
Wang Xi answered with a smile: “His highness is worried about Master Xiao Yu. He plans to bring it along wherever he goes. There’s air holes on the gold cover of this bottle so the fish can breathe. It’s perfect to carry and hold Master Xiao Yu.”
Ye QingHuan was extremely distressed: “Putting it in a huge fish tank bestowed by the Emperor wasn’t enough for you, now you plan to carry the fish with you always??”
Originally, he wanted to beg Jing-wang for the fish. Now the guy was planning to carry the fish around at all times, what’s the point of asking?
Jing-wang cut Ye-shizi with a glare, picked up the crystal bottle and walked off.
This level of care is too much 🙈
qinghuan is really overestimating his place in the ml’s heart by even thinking of asking of borrowing xiao yu
to borrow*
thanks for the chapter!
Thank You for the chapter ( ∩ˇωˇ∩)♡
I just love Jing-Wang’s care for Xiao yu!! So cute
So much for being protective hehe..😏.
Tnx for the chapter!!!☺️
Fish carrier… snicker, snicker…
i finished MTLing and now that i’m rereading from cg chu yanyu is SO dumb. i didn’t realize it before (bc MTLing is confusing) that they actually made him rewrite exactly what was on the letter. if chu yanyu bothered to look at what he was writing he would’ve been alarmed at the content and probably warned 6th prince ahead of time.
Too busy showing off xD
Did they actually make him write everything or only a portion? 0o0 I didn’t think Jing-wang and his cousin would be foolish enough to reveal all the letter contents to a suspicious stranger
so close, so close! just think the unthinkable and it’ll all make sense ba!
A part of me wished I were a fish too and become Jing-wang’s but then I remembered that he didn’t care about any other fish, he only wants his Xiao Yu. Lol. But I wonder how he’d react once someone proposes he gives his Xiao Yu a little friend.
