'Ah… what to do. I've fallen in love…'
Huang Shu returned to the Imperial Palace, half dazed as he kept holding the bag of coin. He straddled at the small road beside a river. All he needed to do was cross the bridge, jump on the Imperial Wall, and find a secret passage, and then he would find himself at the back of his Palace.
But Huang Shu stopped at the low bridge, and then he stared at the flowing river. The water was very clear, so Huang Shu could see his own reflection on the surface.
He could see the ash and dust that covered his face, his messy hair, and his tattered clothes. Although he was actually handsome under this guise, he still looked very improper, filthy, and even unpleasant to look at.
But that Ger man, Bai Yunyu, still allowed Huang Shu to follow him and walked around the city together. Even with many stares, Bai Yunyu didn't seem to be ashamed.
