Spring and Autumn's Dream Chapter 4

The night's breeze was light, the sky spa.r.s.e with stars and the moon.

Xiang Bao who was in Fan Li’s embrace, felt his footsteps stop and immediately turned into those of an ostrich.

"There's no one here anymore," A gentle voice sounded out from above Xiang Bao’s head.

Xiang Bao did not move.

"Don't you feel hot? Suffocated?" That gentle voice spoke, carrying with it mirth and amus.e.m.e.nt.

After grumbling for a while, Xiang Bao pursed her lips and raised her head up. Her expression was filled with extreme bitterness.

Looking clearly at her face, Fan Li slowly froze and after that, he proceeded to laugh really loudly. He just couldn't resist it. The red "birthmark" that was supposed to be on the left side of her face had been smeared by Xiang Bao’s sweat. Her small face was so messily smeared by the red that it made Xiang Bao look like a funny cat. On her appallingly red face, the only visible thing on her face was a pair of blinking eyes that resembled the brightness of stars.

Seeing the man who was always gentle and smiling suddenly laugh so loudly, Xiang Bao turned sluggish. Her small mouth opened a little, dazedly.

Aiya… even the way he laughed was nice.

Fan Li controlled his laughter as he raised a sleeve to wipe the stains off her face.

Xiang Bao’s jaw was still dropped, with her mouth wide open, she dazedly stepped closer to him, looking at him.

En… he was very gentle.

Looking at the stupefied girl in front of him, the laughter and mirth in Fan Li’s eyes slowly vanished and turned into bewilderment.

Xiang Bao’s both cheeks turned red, as she tightly shut her eyes, playing dead.

Her ears were filled with silence, it was so silent that Xiang Bao was able to hear her own heartbeat, peng peng peng, peng peng peng……..

"Uhm that……" With her eyes shut tight, Xiang Bao very unclearly said.

"En?"

"Don't tell anyone……."

"Okay."

Her eyes opened immediately as she grinned and laughed, "You're so nice."

The spring water was by the sh.o.r.e, inside a white clothed young man's embrace was a young girl with a smile as pretty as a flower.

She said you're so nice.

Even the night breeze was softly sighing.

The night was quiet and the moon wasbright. The night breeze blew, blowing away a pool of spring's water.

"Xiang Bao, it's time to come back." Mo Li’s voice suddenly appeared, breaking the night's silence.

Fan Li raised his head and saw that not too far away, under a tree, there stood a beautiful woman. She was looking at him with her cold eyes.

Xiang Bao struggled a little before getting free from his embrace. With both feet landing on the ground, she scrambled towards Mo Li’s direction.

Running only two steps, Xiang Bao suddenly stopped. Turning back, she happily waved at Fan Li. After that, she turned her head and continued to run, no, it was more like tiny jumps instead.

The phrase beautiful women are a source of calamity (红颜祸水) should probably be like this.

Suddenly with a 'peng,' the stunned look in Fan Li’s eyes was replaced with irrepressible laughter and mirth.

The result of jumping while running away was… Xiang Bao immediately tripping till she had a bit of mud.

"Hahaha……." A very annoying laughter sounded out. This laughter was so annoying that it could not have belonged to Fan Li.

Xiang Bao ground her teeth, turning her head with some difficulty, Xiang Bao looked towards Wen Zhong who had came out randomly. That person was holding onto that irksome feathered fan and was laughing like there was no tomorrow.

Taking the opportunity that it was night, Xiang Bao who resembled a mud monkey followed Mo Li back into Liu Jun Zui using the back door.

After was.h.i.+ng her face and changing her clothes, Xiang Bao obediently sat by Mo Li’s side.

Mo Li used the brush that was covered with dark red juice and lightly apply the juice onto Xiang Bao's left face. Like she was drawing.

"The life of a beautiful woman is feeble (红颜命薄 Hong yan ming bao)," Mo Li softly said with the stroke of a brush. "My Xiang Bao is not, my Xiang Bao will attain happiness."

"En." Xiang Bao obediently responded with a tug on her lips.

That day, she asked that white clothed young man, what is hong yan. (红颜 beautiful women)

He said it meant beautiful women.

Sis said the life of a beautiful woman is feeble. (红颜命薄 Hong yan ming bao)

That means that as long as she was not a beautiful woman, she could attain happiness.

The red birthmark on her face was a good luck charm that her sister gifted her. As long as she had this birthmark, she will be able to be happy.

… Was it really like this?
