TSFLIP Chapter 849

A man stood there.

He was dressed in white, his hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin. A faint woody fragrance clung to him, unlike the usual orchid and musk scents. The evening clouds were slowly dispersing, and the last slanting light of dusk fell across the lush bamboo forest, turning the place into something like an immortal’s painting. His eyes carried a gentle smile as he stood casually beneath a bamboo tree. Around the house behind him, verdant bamboo grew thickly, their leaves brushing together in the breeze with a soft rustling sound. His snow-white robes lifted and settled lightly in the wind. His looks were not breathtakingly perfect, but he had a unique charm and an air of refined elegance. At that moment, he seemed as though he had stepped out of a painting, surpassing even a deity in presence.

Right now, he was smiling at her, waiting for her answer.

Feng Guang first snapped out of her daze at his beauty, then remembered the words “doghouse” she had just said. Embarrassment rose in her heart. Her eyes wandered for a while before she finally said, “So this place is called Cuizhu Pavilion… um, that’s a nice name. The scenery is beautiful too. Really nice, really.”

He took a step closer. “What the Crown Princess said just now wasn’t quite like that.”

She took a step back. “Did I say anything just now? No, right…? You must’ve misheard.”

“Unfortunately, my memory has always been very good.” As she retreated, he stepped forward again.

Until Feng Guang’s back was pressed against a bamboo stalk, with nowhere else to retreat. He was very close now, but still kept a distance of one step.

Feng Guang forced a sincere smile. “Do you know me?”

He smiled gently. “In the palace, who doesn’t know the Crown Princess? Who hasn’t heard of you?”

“Then you must also know that I lost my memory, right?”

“I’ve heard about it.”

“Actually… it’s not just simple amnesia.” She blinked and started making things up. “I’ll tell you, but don’t tell anyone else. After I lost my memory… I feel like two people are living inside my body. One is called Xiao Feng, and one is called Xiao Guang. Whatever Xiao Feng says, Xiao Guang doesn’t know about.”

“I see.” He took on an understanding expression, as if he truly believed her nonsense. Then he asked, “So the one I’m seeing now is Xiao Feng, or Xiao Guang?”

“It’s Xiao Guang,” she answered quickly.

“So it’s Miss Xiao Guang.” He smiled again, warm as spring sunlight. Even snow could melt in that smile. He said, “Miss Xiao Guang, rest assured. I will absolutely not tell anyone else about the fact that another Miss Xiao Feng is living inside your body.”

Feng Guang showed a look of delight. “That’s wonderful. By the way, you already know who I am, but I still don’t know your name.”

“My name…” The corners of his lips lifted, a faint smile carrying countless shades of charm. “Let’s wait until next time when Miss Xiao Feng comes out, and I’ll tell her instead. After all… I’d like to ask her why she thought my Cuizhu Pavilion was a doghouse.”

Feng Guang: “…”

“Woof! Woof!” Hu Yao, who had been squatting nearby, let out happy barks. After breaking the silence, it wagged its tail and suddenly pounced forward, knocking Feng Guang to the ground before she could react, happily licking her face.

Feng Guang admitted she was a dog lover, but at this moment, she just wanted to scream for help! She desperately tried to dodge Hu Yao’s enthusiastic affection, but the dog’s strength was no joke. She looked pleadingly at the man who was calmly watching the scene and said, “Sir… if this dog belongs to you, I beg you, please control it!”

“How strange…” The man squatted down and said unhurriedly, “Hu Yao usually only likes to eat human flesh. Why is it not eating you today?”
