NOVEL NEXT As if his nightmare has come true, Ji Yunting calls for Ah Zhao for a long time but she’s nowhere to be found.
“Ah Zhao, I’m wrong, honestly. I shouldn’t have disobeyed you. I’ll kiss you with your approval next time. Don’t leave me alone. Kick my ass all you want. I mean it. Just come out and let me see you.”
“…”
In fact, Ah Zhao is sitting on a tree. She just turns invisible, looking at the worried Ji Yunting quietly.
She puts her hand on her chest which aches when she sees how painful he is.
But she’s angry now and won’t be soothed no matter what.
Cotton candy mutters below its breath with envy beside her: “Hum, this man is no good to have taken advantage of you, Ah Zhao. Let him worry. It’s good to keep him worried.”
Ah Zhao looks at cotton candy, a little sad and says: “I don’t think I’m a good Ah Zhao anymore. I shouldn’t have been angry at him. I’m nearly at the end of this task. I know it’ll be the best to follow his will and finish my task but I’m just mad.”
Cotton candy ponders. Its fluffy body suddenly flashes white and a real cotton candy appears out of nowhere.
It pushes the candy towards Ah Zhao and says sweetly: “Ah Zhao, eat candy and don’t be mad.”
She takes it.
Cotton candy says seriously: “Ah Zhao, you are the best Ah Zhao. It’s all right to take your task slowly as long as you are happy.”
As cotton candy is speaking, bunches of flowers turn up and surround her in the middle.
Those flowers are large with bright red stamen, layers of snow-white petals and sweet-smelling scent.
Her eyes widen. She reaches out her hand to pick one and smells it slightly with her head lowering.
She feels a sense of familiarity but she’s sure she hasn’t seen it before.
“What is it? It’s so beautiful.”
Cotton candy says: “It’s called Dark Cloud Udumbara of Mount Jiuyi.”
It’s Ah Zhao’s favorite flower.
Only cotton candy doesn’t say the later part out loud.
In the past, there were Dark Cloud Udumbara of Mount Jiuyi all over where she lived. When she was down, she loved to lie down among those flowers.
“In this way I can forget all about my worries.” She used to say.
Cotton candy looks at her with her eyes closed as she turns peaceful.
“Do you feel better now, Ah Zhao?” It asks with the greatest of care.
Her eyes open. She looks at cotton candy and nods.
Cotton candy relaxes a little, its tone more cheerful: “Good.”
It turns to the male lead who is still looking all over the place for Ah Zhao and snorts slightly: “Just ignore him. Let him worry for a while.”
Now that she’s not angry anymore, she become that Ah Zhao who doesn’t bear grudges.
She says below her breath: “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I’m not angry anymore. How about I go and find him?”
Cotton candy sighs and finds it so easy to calm its host.
No wonder she is always in the palm of the male lead.
Cotton candy feels irritated but it knows this innocent Ah Zhao is its favorite.
It mumbles: “You were so angry just now. I’m angry as well.” Angry at the male lead.Angry at the male lead for irritating Ah Zhao.
She has no choice but to keep cotton candy in a good mood and promises to go to the male lead later. To put it in cotton candy’s word, “to teach him a lesson”.
On the other hand, Ji Yunting doesn’t see a single figure after shouting for a long time. Looking at his pack, he suddenly comes up with an idea.
