Chapter 1106: Chapter 607: The Warmth of a Gaze (Double Chapter)

Ah Qing’s smile was radiant, her good mood bouncing between her avatar and herself, growing ever stronger.

She turned to look at Shi Qingjun, and at this moment, Ah Qing felt not the slightest bit of attraction toward Shi Qingjun.

Due to her eagerness to learn more about the maid knowledge, she even didn’t want to talk more with Shi Qingjun lest it delay her proper business.

"Alright, let’s end the conversation here." Ah Qing looked at Shi Qingjun, who nodded.

"Mm."

Indeed, she and Ah Qing had nothing more to say, so she waved her hand to dissolve the barrier Ah Qing had set up, planning to return to her seat.

"What do you plan to do next, head back to Chaoyun?"

"First, I’m going to finish watching your sword dance."

"...?"

The simple conversation ended as Ah Qing furrowed her brows.

???

Several question marks popped up over Ah Qing’s head.

What was Shi Qingjun talking about?

She was going to finish watching her sword dance before leaving?

Would a normal person say such a thing? She really didn’t care about her thoughts.

"Finish watching the sword dance..." Ah Qing took a deep breath and forced a light laugh: "Why, does the Fairy have an interest in my dance moves?"

Shi Qingjun blinked.

My dance moves?

She thought Ah Qing’s self-reference when facing her was rather amusing. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"A bit interested." Shi Qingjun said.

"..." Ah Qing’s eye twitched uncontrollably, watching Shi Qingjun’s serious demeanor, black lines etched across her forehead.

Ah?

Really interested?!

Shi Qingjun, this woman, does she have some kind of problem?

Ah Qing was stunned.

If it were before, hearing Shi Qingjun say she was interested in her, Ah Qing would have been overjoyed...but at this moment, Ah Qing only felt a thick sarcasm.

In the past, she put in countless efforts, chasing Shi Qingjun’s shadow but never received even a serious glance.

But now, having given up on her admiration, Shi Qingjun was willing to watch her perform?

The reason?

Perhaps her dance moves are still fairly good, or is Shi Qingjun inherently frivolous and likes to watch erotic dances?

Ah Qing thought ’wickedly’, ’maliciously’.

But she quickly understood she couldn’t think this way.

If Shi Qingjun, who was willing to watch the dance, was frivolous, then what did her performance on stage count as?

Licentiousness?

"Pah." Ah Qing made a spitting sound, giving Shi Qingjun her first-ever playful glare: "You, woman, are really strange."

Shi Qingjun’s eyelashes fluttered, observing Ah Qing’s unfriendly demeanor, she pondered for a moment, feeling that compared to herself, perhaps Ah Qing was the truly strange one.

Her desire to stay and watch the sword dance wasn’t born out of genuine interest in Ah Qing’s dance, but because she had promised the girls at Flower Moon Building to watch it together and believed in seeing things through, without any deeper implication.

The taste of the fruit at Flower Moon Building was elegant, seemingly containing a flavor that could draw her attention, so she really liked it.

The girls at Flower Moon Building, with their varying beauties, were also enough to fascinate Shi Qingjun.

Previously, when surrounded by those girls feeding her, playing cards with them, and when she personally pinned slips on the cute girl’s face...Shi Qingjun had already sensed their anticipation.

Those women hoped she would stay for the entire banquet.

So Shi Qingjun would do this, and it was her first time attending a girls-only banquet; hence, even if it was a brothel banquet, she wanted to attend until the very end.

It’s entirely unrelated to whether Ah Qing performs at Flower Moon Building.

"...Hmph." Ah Qing and Shi Qingjun exchanged looks for a while; although she couldn’t detect her truest thoughts, she still pouted: "Well then, do what you want."

Anyway, her sword dance was about to finish, and after stepping down, there was a ’celebration drink’ waiting, leaving her no extra energy to care about Shi Qingjun; she could do whatever she liked.

"However, there’s one last thing." Ah Qing sighed softly, glancing obliquely at the banquet stage, raising her hand: "How should I explain our relationship to the Young Master?"

"Our...relationship?" Shi Qingjun tilted her head: "What do you mean."

"I mean, if the Young Master sees us talking alone here, what will he think of me? Even if he won’t ask, there should be a reason, right?" Ah Qing sighed lightly, having restrained herself to engage with Shi Qingjun thus far; fortunately, she had a rough idea of how to handle this situation.

"Hm?" Shi Qingjun was taken aback; she finally understood Ah Qing’s meaning: "You mean...he’s watching us?"

Hadn’t Ah Qing set up an imprisoning barrier?

Shi Qingjun couldn’t sense Xu Chang’an’s aura, thinking he and Yun Qian along with the girls at Flower Moon Building were all paused by the barrier; but now, hearing Ah Qing, it seemed Xu Chang’an was unaffected and had been watching them all along.

Indeed.

If everyone around suddenly stalled...then naturally, the only two women on stage conversing would draw his attention.

How could this be?

After a moment of astonishment, Shi Qingjun came back to her senses.

Beyond astonishment, since it was Xu Chang’an, Shi Qingjun completely understood.

That person inherently evades logical comprehension of his existence and interests.

Even she didn’t have absolute confidence in claiming to imprison Xu Chang’an successfully, leaving her puzzled...how did Ah Qing become aware that Xu Chang’an wasn’t restrained?
