"No... No... I'm just feeling a little hot." Xiao Shuyu found an excuse for herself, but she was afraid that Chi Yang wouldn't believe her, so she fanned herself.
Chi Yang looked at Xiao Shuyu's ears which were red from the cold and tightened her cloak. Who cared about her? Who didn't have some special quirks?
The group returned to Weiyang Palace to greet the Empress and the Eldest Princess. As soon as they entered the palace, they were teased by the Empress.
"Sister, look. When has our Xiao Yu ever followed Ah Yao? Now that Yangyang is back, Xiao Yu is obediently following behind her. It's exactly the same as when they were young!"
Xiao Lianyi nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, you're right!"
When Chi Yao entered the palace, Xiao Yu never followed her around. She was curious. It turned out that everything had a "dark truth", but she had never dared to face the princess like that…
Hearing the Empress's words, Chi Yang turned around in shock. So Xiao Shuyu was once a follower of the original Chi Yang!
Then why didn't Xiao Shuyu become Chi Yao's follower after she came to the Chi family?
After all, Chi Yao and Chi Yang looked very similar when they were young. Even Xiao Lianyi, her biological mother, had a hard time noticing the difference between them. Moreover, the name Chi Yao was like the original Chi Yang's "old name". Logically speaking, the other girl should be able to coax Xiao Shuyu from her shell by pretending to be her...
However, in reality, all Chi Yao managed to coax was Xiao Lianyi and the rest of the people in the palace. She was unable to coax Xiao Shuyu, who was a few months younger than the original Chi Yang, into liking her.
It seemed that this girl wasn't that stupid!
Xiao Shuyu looked at Chi Yang's expression and pouted unhappily. Why was her cousin still looking at her like she was a child?
"Cousin, I have a gift for you. I brought you here to see it!" Xiao Shuyu suddenly thought of something. She bid farewell to the Empress and the Eldest Princess and pulled Chi Yang to her bedroom.
Chi Yao watched the two of them leave hand in hand with jealousy. Xiao Shuyu had never called her cousin…
...
In Xiao Shuyu's bedroom.
She took out a jewelry box from under her bed as if she was presenting a treasure and held it in front of Chi Yang.
"What is this?" Chi Yang was puzzled.
"You'll know when you open it!" Xiao Shuyu said proudly.
So she opened it.
Chi Yang thought that it was some pretty jewelry, so she casually opened the box.
She didn't expect the thing inside to scare Chi Yang.
How could she have such a thing?
Where did she get it?
"Where did you get this gift? It's quite unique," Chi Yang looked up at Xiao Shuyu.
Who knew that Xiao Shuyu would look up at Chi Yang proudly and pat her chest, "It's me, I made all of these by myself!"
"How did you make it?" Chi Yang asked.
Did such a thing exist so early in the past?
Xiao Shuyu looked at Chi Yang in confusion and explained her method, "I cut one bamboo and then split it into three thin pieces. However, you have to leave a small bulge at the end so that it can be easily pieced together with the other small bamboo sticks that have been cut."
Listening to Xiao Shuyu's instruction, Chi Yang somehow felt an extreme sense of familiarity. Wasn't this the method of making a bamboo dragonfly that she had found on Google!?
Could it be that someone else had also transmigrated into this novel?
Doesn't that mean she has some sort of community for this?
"Xiao Yu, who taught you to do this?" Chi Yang asked carefully. She prepared her heart, for if Xiao Shuyu was the transmigrator, she doesn't want to scare her.
But what she didn't expect was for the other girl to look at her in a mixture of shock and disbelief, "How could you forget all this?"
Initially, Xiao Shuyu thought that her cousin had asked this question to test her, but who would've thought that her cousin had forgotten about it?
"You mean… I taught you this?" Chi Yang pointed at herself.
"Yes!"
So the original Chi Yang was also a transmigrator! But it wasn't written in the book! Shouldn't this be considered a fraud!?
How many of these people were true to the description in the book?
With so many differences, even the author wouldn't be able to recognize their own book!
