My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1827: You Are Who You Are
What feat, did she do something just now?
Wubai’s eyes, sharply contrasting black and white, rippled with a faint smile, brilliant like a starry sky: "All the people from the Aus Empire present were saluting, only you didn’t just refrain from saluting, but also acted like a little squirrel in the corner, happily munching on a cake. You really are bold!"
Yiyi didn’t expect that standing so far away from the crowd, in an inconspicuous corner, her small actions would still be noticed.
She suddenly blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed and somewhat worried.
"I, I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to the Empress, I was just so awed by her majestic grace that I forgot." It’s no big deal if unnoticed, but it would be trouble if discovered and spread around.
"But why do I feel you did it on purpose, amidst all the reverent faces, only yours wore such a nonchalant expression! That look was really surprising, unexpected." Wubai curled his lips.
Yiyi inwardly called out in distress, cold sweat forming on her forehead. Even just a fleeting expression was caught by his keen eyes—was he some kind of laser-eye?
Moreover, why was he constantly watching her? Last time at the Governor’s Mansion, with her weak and timid demeanor, no one should have noticed her. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"You must have been mistaken, I was just scared stiff." Her weak tone, utterly flustered little demeanor.
"No, because I’ve always been watching you!" A gentle, smiling voice like the wind passing through corridors, warmly touching the delicate spot of the heart, without sharpness or probing, but rather the kind of tone a man uses when he has affection for a woman, "Miss Jun, I have never forgotten you, from that day on, I have always remembered you."
This made Yiyi’s heart tremble, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes, meet his gaze, and fall into his eyes full of softness and smiles, such an intensely focused gentle look directed downwards at her, sparkling with an odd firefly light.
Yiyi began to feel her heartbeat accelerate, her cheeks turning red.
The thing she couldn’t withstand the most was that kind of extreme gentle gaze, that honey-sweet voice was like an arrow, striking her unprepared heart, making her involuntarily infatuated.
This was a feeling of being moved.
She actually felt moved.
Yiyi’s heart was greatly shaken, filled with disbelief and blushing awkwardness; others fall in love at first sight, was she in love at first hearing?
"Did you—did you recognize me? When did you figure it out?" Upon hearing "Miss Jun," she knew he had already recognized who she was.
Yiyi bit her lip, feeling somewhat frustrated and a little reluctant. She thought her acting was good, her makeup skills decent, fully believing she could conceal it, but it ended up getting exposed—how disappointing.
"At the Governor’s Mansion." Wubai smiled a bit playfully, "Really startled me, nearly couldn’t believe it. That reckless yet impressive, fearless girl turned out to be the Governor’s daughter, looking so delicate, I even doubted my vision."
Reckless? Headstrong? Yiyi was displeased; these didn’t sound like good impressions.
It should have been intimidating instead.
Yet she truly couldn’t help but marvel at his observational skills; it turns out he recognized her that night.
"How were you so sure I was the girl from your memory? I acted convincingly then, where did I reveal myself?"
Wubai’s voice was low and gentle, his gaze sincere: "If you ask where you slipped up, I wouldn’t know either. I’ve always remembered you, though I didn’t see you very clearly back then, it was just a kind of intuition in the depths—you were you, even if your appearance had changed, you were still you!"
