Chapter 7 Love at First Sight

  I took a look at the man called Mo Qianxun, who was said to be the number one talented scholar. Mo Qianxun nodded in response to my inquiring gaze and suddenly grabbed my hand, dashing off like he was fleeing as a group of women rushed towards us.

  Behind us were the shouts of a group of women and the faint questioning of that noblewoman, but Mo Qianxun just stubbornly pulled me along, without any intention of stopping, as if we had always been one.

  As I gazed at his majestic back, a strange thought suddenly occurred to me - how wonderful it would be if we were eloping together at this very moment?

  My heart was racing violently, but I wasn't having trouble breathing. For the first time, I felt so exhilarated and carefree as I ran. And in front of me, pulling me along, was a talented and kind-hearted handsome man.

  Is the story under the moon in front of the flowers about to happen?

  There was a strange feeling in my heart, and my face suddenly flushed with a crimson color like rouge, as if on fire.

  For seventeen years, I felt for the first time that there is another kind of beauty in this world. This feeling, it's great.

  Chihiro grasped my hand tightly, as if she feared I would vanish into thin air at any moment. The warmth from her hands flowed into my heart, making me feel that this desolate place wasn't so frightening after all.

  We kept running and running, the people behind us were getting smaller and smaller, finally at a picturesque lake, we both stopped panting.

  We all fell on the grass, then tilted our heads and smiled at each other, just like old friends who had known each other for many years.

  I looked at him smiling, and suddenly felt a burning sensation on my face. I moistened my dry lips and said: "Thank you for saving me!"

  He also smiled, smiling with ease and nonchalance, suddenly turning his head to look at the azure sky, a beautiful voice like jade stones clicking: "It's nothing, Chihiro admires you for being such a kind and brave woman."

  I let out a soft "hiss" and followed his gaze upwards to the sky: "Actually, at that time, I was really scared. At that time, I thought for sure I would be trampled to death, but... you saved my life."

  Looking at Yichien, his profile smiled lightly. Even such a faint expression is extremely good-looking. My face turned even redder. Love at first sight is probably like this.
