White Fence Dream

Chapter 178 Enjoyment
The curtains are drawn and there is no need to light candles in the room.

Shangguan Yue came out after a simple wash. Looking at the snacks on the small plate on the table, she said with a smile, "Touhuaci, I haven't eaten it for a long time."

Bai Li smiled and said, "You have a lot of snacks in your building, and there must be Touhua Ci."

Yes, there should be. He had instructed that the food and drinks in the building should be of the best quality, and the stewards and maids must have made thorough arrangements.

But that was not given to him intentionally, and he never cared about it.

When he was a child, he was very picky. No matter how delicious the food was, he would be very picky and would not like anything.

After the incident, all the delicacies in the world were still readily available to him with his prince consort, but he was not picky because he was in a panic and didn't care what to eat.

Looking back, the most delicious food was the bowl of sweet soup that Zeb gave him every morning.

Well, he remembered, he did have a sweet tooth.

Shangguan Yue reached out and picked up the glutinous rice cake from the plate and put it into her mouth.

"Well, it's from Yang's shop."

"Miss Bai is amazing. She knows the best dim sum shop in the capital."

He was beaming with joy and kept praising.

Bai Li was delighted by his praise: "Of course, I have been a ghost for so long, I know the capital city well."

Of course, she didn't know it was the best dim sum shop, but Zhou Jingyun had bought from it before and remembered the name he mentioned.

What he bought must be of the best quality.

Bai Li looked at Shangguan Yue and praised, "You are amazing. You can tell which restaurant it is from after just one bite."

When she ate this, she felt that it was no different from what she made in her own kitchen; both were delicious.

Well, I shouldn’t say home, the Dongyang Marquis Mansion.

Shangguan Yue shook her head: "The pastry shops in the capital, even the pastries of the rich and powerful families, make them all differently even if they use the same ingredients." She then asked Bai Li if he bought it specially. "It seems that I slept well and didn't even notice you leaving and coming back."

Bai Li smiled and said, "Of course, I keep my word."

Since he had been terrified and unable to sleep after experiencing a series of hallucinations, his little wish was to have a good night's sleep. Bai Li then prepared some incense and sat beside his bed, reading poems and books to him.

Of course, her reciting of poems and books was more effective than Zhou Jingyun's, because Zhou Jingyun could only lull himself to sleep by reading.

"Where did you go today? Is it convenient for you to go out? Do you want some guards?"

Shangguan Yue's voice came, Bai Li put away his wild thoughts and looked at him: "I went for a walk on the street and met my enemy. It's very convenient for me to go out now, and I don't need a guard--"

She answered in a serious tone, but Shangguan Yue had already stood up with a glare: "Your enemy? You, you went to seek revenge alone?"

He knew she was very powerful, but at that time he thought she was a ghost. He was a mortal and could not help with the ghost world. Now that he knew she was actually a human, then the enemy must also be a human...

"You always say that I'm your savior, but how did I save you? Either I sent people to stare at you, or I carried you around so no one could see you..." He said helplessly, "At least show me your real weapons."

Bai Li said solemnly: "Revenge does not necessarily require a large number of people to rush forward, nor does it necessarily require the use of knives and guns. We kill without bloodshed."

Shangguan Yue was stunned.

Bai Li laughed again.

"I'm just teasing you." She said, looking serious, "Don't worry, I've never been polite when I need your help."

Shangguan Yue said okay, and picked up another piece of glutinous rice cake to eat: "Remember, I am grateful for your kindness."

Bai Li nodded: "Remember, remember." He pointed at the Touhua Ci and said, "It's very expensive."

Shangguan Yue laughed again.

There were footsteps outside the door, accompanied by a question: "Sir, the guests are about to board the ship."

Bai Li looked out the window. The night slowly fell and the sound of the evening drum heralded the arrival of curfew. Those who needed to go home hurried home, and the boats began to welcome guests.

"Young Master, go first." Bai Li said, "I will do my makeup."

Although Shangguan Yue could keep her from being discovered on the ship, Bai Li still chose to go in front of people. The identity of a maid was still very convenient.

Shangguan Yue stuffed the last of the glutinous rice cakes into her mouth: "I'll wait for you outside."

Compared to the way the young lady of Dongyang Marquis meets people, the maid's makeup is very simple. She just needs to change into clothes, put on some powder and wear a face mask.

Bai Li looked at the mirror and no longer used magic to reshape a new face, but her features became hazy due to the pearl veil and the bright lights.

Bai Li smiled at himself in the mirror, stood up and walked out.

The ship had already sailed away from the shore, and the cabin was filled with noise, singing and dancing.

Shangguan Yue finished welcoming the guests and leaned on the railing to watch everyone having fun.

"Please enjoy your meal, sir." Bai Li took a cup of tea and a cup of wine from a maid, walked over and handed him the tea.

Shangguan Yue took it with a smile. The wine was naturally Bai Li's, and she drank it all in one gulp. "Don't become a drunkard." Shangguan Yue said with a smile.

Bai Li looked around the building and said, "I've only been here for a few days, but I'm always craving for a drink and want to watch the fun at the card table. In a few days, I'll definitely get itchy hands and end up playing." Then he looked at Shangguan Yue and said, "You've been here for so many years, but you haven't indulged in pleasure and you hardly even drink. It turns out that you're the noble man who is untainted by the mud as described in the book."

Shangguan Yue laughed: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."

In the past, when we met in a hurry, it was either a matter of life and death or a time of confusion. We were always nervous and nervous, and we parted after a few words. It turned out that she was so humorous. Shangguan Yue smiled and said, "It's not that I'm noble, it's that I don't have the right to enjoy myself."

From the moment Shangguan Fu Ma appeared with his mistress in his arms, he was no longer qualified to enjoy himself.

He is Li Yu, and he is also Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue wants to be domineering and like a playboy who loves to eat, drink and have fun.

But Li Yu wanted to live a miserable life.

With this dual identity, he dared not indulge in pleasure and used all his energy to stay awake.

Be sober and be Shangguan Yue, and be sober and don’t forget Li Yu.

Bai Li looked at him. Under the light, the young man had a pale complexion and bright eyes. Even though he was talking about something lonely, there was a smile on the corners of his mouth.

It was also because she was standing close to him and could see through people's emotions best that she saw the sadness that flashed across his eyes.

I thought of the layers of sleeping children in my dream.

I can't even relax in my sleep.

I also thought of the first time I saw him when I first arrived in Beijing. At that time, I thought he was a dandy young man, happy as a god.

Unexpectedly, I met him dead on the street in the middle of the night.

A lonely man was lying on the ground, almost out of breath, but still struggling to crawl forward.

She couldn't help but sigh: "I used to think that my life was not easy, but now it seems that your life is not easy either."

She actually felt sorry for him? Obviously, she had a hard time. Shangguan Yue smiled again: "It should be said that everyone in the world has a hard time."

Bai Li nodded: "If that's the case, then everyone is entitled to enjoy themselves." After that, he turned around and waved to the maid standing at the stairs, "Sister."

The maid came forward with a smile. Although she had only been there for two or three days, she already knew her habits and handed her a glass of wine.

Bai Li took it with a smile, turned back to Shangguan Yue and handed it to him.

"No matter what happened in the past or the future, I am here right now." Bai Li said with a smile, "You can enjoy yourself as much as you want."

Shangguan Yue smiled, reached out to take it, drank it all in one gulp, and indeed she felt unprecedented happiness.

But the next moment this happiness was interrupted by a few calls.

"Shangguan Xiaolang, Shangguan Xiaolang."

Shangguan Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wang Tong, whom she had not seen for a long time, staggering up the stairs. She took a step forward and blocked Bai Li behind her, raising her hand: "Brother Wang, don't move."

Wang Tong was startled. Seeing Shangguan Yue's nervous expression, he subconsciously stopped and did not move.

"He is from Shengzu Temple, working with Zhang Ze to investigate ghosts and evil spirits, and he carries with him the magic weapon given by Xuan Yangzi." Shangguan Yue quickly whispered to Bai Li behind him.

Bai Li suddenly realized that he was worried that this person would do something bad to her.

"Have you forgotten?" She laughed softly, "I'm not a ghost now."

Shangguan Yue came back to her senses after she finished speaking: "Then——"

Bai Li leaned forward slightly behind him to take a closer look: "Then ask him to come over so I can take a closer look."

Her eyes fell on the small Sanqing bell hanging around the young Taoist's waist.

As she finished speaking, Shangguan Yueren walked towards the stairs.

"Brother Wang, please slow down." He said in a hurry, "You must have been tired from running around outside. I will help you."

Wang Tong was overjoyed. Although Shangguan Xiaolang always welcomed guests with a smile, he was a dandy boy with many bad habits. With Princess Jinyu as his backer, he was unruly and his mood was unstable.

This was the first time she showed such concern for him.

"No, no." He said hurriedly, went upstairs in two or three steps, and stretched out his hand to Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue had already withdrawn his hand, and a veiled maid came over and held his arm.

"Mr. Wang, please take a seat." The woman said in a sweet voice.

Shangguan Yue asked with concern, "Is everything okay out there?" and handed over a glass of wine.

Wang Tong took the wine, looked at the handsome face in front of him, and thought it would be even better if the maid who was supporting him was replaced by Shangguan Xiaolang.

People must be content.

He sighed: "Compared to this moment, the days outside are really miserable."
