Time Travel: Brothel Maid

Chapter 112 Missing

Xiao Guoer raised her wrist and examined it carefully in the sun. Both the color and texture were similar to the bracelet in her memory.

Although they are somewhat similar, they are not the same. The jade beads in her hand are more delicate in color, as if they were made of real cherry blossoms, with almost no impurities. The beads are also larger than the ones she saw in the dark market. When placed under the sun, they are crystal clear and magnificent.

The bracelet of unknown origin on the dark market was already very expensive. She didn't like burial objects, and the one on her hand must have been found for her by Tang Jingchen through legitimate channels. Its value was self-evident.

The most valuable thing is not how valuable this bracelet is, but his thoughtfulness. She only showed a little reluctance that day, but he took it to heart and eagerly found such a jade bracelet for her.

The depression in her heart was swept away, and filled with a feeling called sweetness.

Slowly, she raised her lips to a satisfied and happy smile, and sighed, "It's really beautiful."

Tang Jingchen gently stroked the fair skin under his hands, and suddenly felt that even the finest jade could not be as soft and smooth as her skin. Her skin was truly as white as cream and as smooth as ice.

The originally beautiful cherry pink bracelet looked even more beautiful and eye-catching when worn on her porcelain-like wrist. But this dazzling brilliance was only brought out by her jade-like skin. If worn on someone else's hand, it might not look so charming.

"She's not as pretty as you." There was an unshakable tenderness in Tang Jingchen's eyes.

Xiao Guoer feels that Tang Jingchen's sweet words have become more and more fluent recently, and they come out without any hesitation.

She listened to these overly sweet words every day and felt like she was going to have diabetes, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly rise, forming an even brighter smile, and her eyes seemed to be twinkling with stars.

"Well, I agree with you."

Tang Jingchen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This girl never knew what humility was.

The two chatted intimately for a while, and when they said goodbye, he reminded them worriedly, "You three are women after all, and it's dangerous to go out, so you should wait for me to come back and accompany you to travel around the mountains and rivers. During this time, you should stay in Shangjing City temporarily. If you have any problems, go to the shopkeeper in Jinxiang Tower. I have already told him that no matter what happens, he will help you deal with it."

Xiao Guoer nodded, "Well, then you have to come back soon."

The two of them stared at each other, seeming to be inseparable.

Xiao Guoer would never have thought that in this era she would actually meet someone who made her so worried.

He hasn't left yet, but she already misses him.

Back at Zhuxian Lane, when Xiao Guoer informed Yingniang and Yueya of the decision to temporarily postpone the travel plan, Yueya showed great disappointment and kept muttering: What a pity, I have prepared everything and so on.

Yingniang's expression did not change at all, she was still smiling faintly and nodded slightly to show that she understood. It seemed that it made no difference to her when to travel, and she did not have much expectations in her heart.

Xiao Guoer vaguely felt that there was something wrong with her current state and suspected that she was too sad and mentally abnormal. She forced herself to smile in front of her just to make her stop worrying about her.

But after observing her for the past few days, she found that Yingniang had a better appetite than before, and even slept more. The day before yesterday, she slept until noon. In her spare time, she was still doing needlework, and her complexion was even rosier than before.

He felt that he was overthinking it. Yingniang must have really let go of Zhou Fangye. Her indifferent look now was just because she was a very indifferent person, but she had been obsessed with Zhou Fangye all this time.

Most women in love are irrational. Now that I am out of love and have truly let it go, I can truly be myself again.

Xiao Guoer thought so and gradually felt relieved. She no longer focused on Yingniang. She had been feeling a little listless lately and didn't have the energy to think about anything else.

Ever since Tang Jingchen was no longer in the spice shop, she even lost the motivation to go to the lottery shop, and felt like something was missing every day.

I really miss him, and I don't know where he is. In this era, the speed of carriages and horses is very slow. It only took two days to walk, and one day can only cover about a hundred miles.

Although she was in the capital, her heart had already flown away to who knows where.

Xiao Guo'er was in the teahouse, eating spiced melon seeds and listening to the storyteller telling stories that seemed very old-fashioned and boring to her. She couldn't concentrate at all, her eyelids were drooping with sleep, and she sighed softly: I might as well go home and have a good sleep.

Just as I was about to get up and leave, I heard a slight discussion coming from the seat next to me.

There were two young men sitting at the table next to her. Judging from their attire, they looked like scholars.

The man in a blue-gray robe said, "The Eighth Prince is really kind-hearted. He actually took the initiative to ask for permission to go to Huaiyang to control the plague. He is really courageous."

Another man in a blue robe said, "That's right. According to the news that has been transmitted from Huaiyang to Shangjing in the past two days, the plague seems to be spreading faster. I don't know how many people have died from the plague. Several villages are almost wiped out. If things continue like this, when the Eighth Prince arrives in Huaiyang, who knows how dangerous it will be."

"The Eighth Prince's sons and grandsons will be blessed by God. Why are you so worried?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Guoer's butt, which had just been about to be raised, fell firmly back on the stool. The sleepiness in her mind suddenly disappeared without a trace, and her mind became clear. The emotion revealed in her eyes clearly revealed some worry.

The blue man curled his lips and said, "The bloodline of the prince is nobler than that of us common people, but the plague has no eyes. It doesn't care whether you are a prince or a commoner. If you get it, you will still die."

The blue-gray man was startled when he heard this. He looked around nervously and saw that no one else noticed them. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to the blue man in a low voice, "You cursed the Eighth Prince in public. Are you going to die?"

The blue man seemed to realize that what he said just now was a bit inappropriate. His face became a little unnatural, and he explained awkwardly: "Don't blame me, brother. I just spoke too quickly and didn't control my mouth. Thank you for reminding me."

The two did not say any more about the Eighth Prince, but only talked about how serious the plague in Huaiyang was.

The more Xiao Guoer listened, the more uneasy she felt, and fear gradually filled her heart.

She thought Tang Jingchen was safe with the Eighth Prince. Even though there was a plague in Huaiyang, she thought that the danger would not affect the Eighth Prince who was heavily protected, nor would it affect Tang Jingchen who was with the Eighth Prince.

She thought that they went to Huaiyang just to make plans in a safe place.

But it turns out that they are all in danger of life and death?
