Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Is It Heartbeat?

That gaze seemed as if he were contemplating whether to steam or deep-fry her.

Bai Junjun sensitively rubbed the goosebumps on her hands, planning to stay far away from this guy.

She asked warily, "What’s up?"

Li Wenli was brought back to his senses by Bai Junjun’s words. He gave Bai Junjun a meaningful look, remaining silent as if still weighing something. After a good while, he finally spoke.

"Miss..."

He hesitated to continue.

"What’s up?" Bai Junjun couldn’t help frowning.

After staring at the miss for a long while, Li Wenli shook his head and stood up first.

"Let’s go, Miss. Let’s go back and find them."

Bai Junjun looked at Fox suspiciously, feeling that he was somewhat odd: "Are you okay?"

"What’s wrong?" Li Wenli asked back.

"You look strange," Bai Junjun said honestly.

Li Wenli grinned: "I just think the Miss looks very pretty like this."

"..." At Li Wenli’s words, Bai Junjun was taken aback, a faint feeling of embarrassment rising in her heart.

Seeing Bai Junjun’s rare moment of embarrassment, Li Wenli couldn’t help but speak.

"Miss... have you ever thought about marriage?"

"Ah?"

Li Wenli’s abrupt question completely bewildered Bai Junjun, who shook her head instinctively.

"People of The Apocalypse, cutting off love and passion."

"Pfft!"

Li Wenli was made to laugh by the earnest Miss. What to do? They were so similar, their values so well aligned.

The long quelled thoughts in his mind began to waver again.

But with the nation’s grudges and family feuds being a complete mess, even if he brought it up, the Miss would probably think he’s sick, wouldn’t she?

Li Wenli sighed helplessly, deciding to put the thoughts in his heart on hold for the time being, merely saying, "Let’s go."

The two of them walked almost to the end of Ying County to find a less crowded place to release river lanterns.

On the way back from there, they could still enjoy the scenery and admire the river lanterns, which was quite romantic.

Bai Junjun got up and followed him back. However, on the way back, Li Wenli walked ahead all the time. Although he occasionally turned back to talk to her, Bai Junjun still felt something was off.

As for what was off, it was hard to pinpoint at the moment.

Before long, they arrived at Famous Scholar Bridge.

This bridge was a landmark of Ying County. At one end of Famous Scholar Bridge was the Octagonal Pavilion, where Prince Hanying would invite the scholars to drink and compose poetry in honor of the Flower Goddess during the Flower God Festival every year.

Many a scholar had become famous for their poetry created here.

Over time, the place came to be known as Famous Scholar Bridge.

Today the poetry session at the Octagonal Pavilion would be held tomorrow; the main event was the release of the river lanterns.

The upstream river lanterns followed the current and mostly converged here, making this stretch of the water area arguably the most beautiful spot in Ying County.

The wide expanse of water was crowded with river lanterns of all shapes and colors, which, when gathered together, formed the brightest and most beautiful scene, even outshining the stars in the sky.

Adults and children alike were by the river watching the lanterns, and even the nobles had come out to enjoy the river lanterns.

The place was bustling with noise and excitement.

As Bai Junjun walked among the crowd, she felt surrounded and soon became lost in the throng, unable to see Li Wenli at all.

Just as Bai Junjun was about to give up on watching the lanterns and was eager to squeeze out of the crowd to return to the inn, a slender hand reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Bai Junjun looked up and saw that Fox, who had been walking ahead, had somehow come back. He smiled and pinched Bai Junjun’s wrist: "I almost lost you. How would I explain that to Sasa and Xiao Yu?"
