Chapter 152: Her Letter

All of them were written carefully, describing all the useful informations, as well as pouring in all his affections within them.

He sent two letters, but only one answer came back every time, asking for more information.

Did he not see the other one?

’Looks like he set them aside, probably thinking that they were annoying, and unnecessary.’

Bai Yunxian thought of countless reasons of why he didn’t get a letter or reply, only to shook his head and get rid of those thoughts.

However, it was like a harpun stuck on his throat that he couldn’t take out, nor swallow in.

Waiting… was painful.

When would he finally receive a response?

And after three weeks, Bai Yunxian finally stopped sending the letters.

“It’s… a letter from Lord Yun!” The guy said the words before a strong breeze passed by him, snatching the letter away from him as Bai Yunxian was back inside the room, shutting the door with a loud thud.

The whole thing happened in an instant that the guy wasn’t able to even put his hand down, his mouth twicthed in humiliation after hearing the noises coming from various directions.

Obviously it was his colleagues snickering at him, making him the pitiful scapegoat for their lunch of sarcasm.

’Hold it in, hold it in and don’t take those bastards words in heart! I did a good thing after all, sending the letter to the Lady successfully!’ The guard consoled himself as he calmed down, turning around as he left.

On the other hand, Bai Yunxian’s heart was thumping loudly against his chest that he couldn’t bear it any more, his legs felt like jelly as he couldn’t take one more step in, sliding in front of the door as he leaned his back on it.

After waiting for so long…

Finally, a letter…

A letter from that person, arrived.

Bai Yunxian realized all of a sudden how happy he became with just one letter. So much so that he couldn’t contain his emotions in anymore. He also realized that he showed such an embarrassing side of his to the subordinates, out of happiness!

Damn, this matter… was so embarrassing!

It’s no wonder that soon what he did would spread among them, how he made a fool of himself!

Chi Yan also would probably tease him!

Goshhh…!!!

Bai Yunxian blaushed in shame as he hid his face within his knees, but the letter was still held within his hands as he tried to calm himself down.

“No, no, I must compose myself. I can’t afford to tarnish My Lord’s reputation by acting like a fool…” Bai Yunxian murmured as he slapped his face laughtly, holding and pinching his face all by himself.

The joy couldn’t be any less, because there were two letters this time.

’This one definitely has… his scent…’

The letter was rusty and crumpled, not so neat and good looking as the official one. Even so, he could still faintly feel the scent lingering within it.

Bai Yunxian held the letter close to his heart as he closed his eyes, yearning for the person that he saw in his dreams every night.

After a long time, Bai Yunxian finally opened his eyes as he looked at the leter once again, an innocent, but beautiful smile bloomed on his face as he looked at the piece of paper with adoring eyes.

Slowly running his fingers through the letter, he finally opened it with excitement, his hands trembling while he was opening the paper.

’What would it say? That how has he been? Or did he eat and live well? Probably an apology for not sending the letter sooner? Stories of how he spent his time in the forefront? How much did he missed me? What would it be?’

’Ah! Look at me acting so childish! This isn’t like me at all to get so excited over a mere letter! Calm down, Bai Yunxian! First, you should read…!’

Bai Yunxian thought about a thousand ways about what could be the content inside, he was excited like a little kid who took his first steps just now.

He finally opened the letter as he peeked to take a look, after that…

.

.

.

Bai Yunxian’s body froze. He stared at the letter for a long time, his eyes not leaving the letter.

A sudden change of weather turned the sky outside dark, rain came with a storm and drizzled, without any sign of stop; soaking all the soldiers in a downpour as a result.

Chi Yan sighed as he looked at the room, far away from the pavilion.

’Looks like he got the letter, poor guy.’

“I didn’t expect Yun Shu, that woman, to be so cruel though. Just because she didn’t want that guy to know of her condition, she made such a big bid… I don’t know what will happen in the coming days. Hopefully, she will recover soon…” Chi Yan mumbled as he looked up towards the dark and gloomy sky.

“Don’t Make Any Trouble.”

That was the only thing contained in the letter, when the sender was sleeping in a coma, fighting death in a far away land.

***

’Why would he ask something like that all of a sudden? Did he notice something?’ After Yun Si’s sudden questioning, Yun Shu turned alert as she didn’t say anything; standing behind the desk quietly as she stared at the guy.

“Do I seem any strange from before? Or did I behave in a weird way? Exactly which part of me you don’t understand?” Yun Shu answered Yun Si with another question.

“Everything! You, you have changed! Ever since you got married, after that you changed so much that now you are almost unrecognizable! Why are you acting like this?!” Yun Si’s eyes were lost as he pulled his hair in frustration, as if he didn’t understand anything.

“You don’t need to know that, Your Highness. Since when were you interested in me anyway? Thishumble servant of yours is only prominent in taking orders, not in entertaining Your Highness.”
