Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince's Mansion.
Study.
A young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old was sitting at a desk, pen in hand, handling government affairs. Just by looking at the neatly stacked memorials and documents on the desk, one could tell that the number of these government affairs was definitely not small.
After being made Crown Prince, the Emperor would appropriately begin to assign some non-essential government affairs to the Crown Prince to handle, which was considered letting him adapt to the Emperor's work in advance. Therefore, as the heir apparent, the Crown Prince was actually very busy daily, with endless government affairs to deal with every day, but all of them did not involve the core. They were considered trivial matters.
And this young man who was handling government affairs was precisely the First Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and also the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Of course, this was only his superficial identity; in reality, the true Xue Qinghe had already been assassinated several years ago. The Xue Qinghe currently sitting here handling government affairs was actually disguised by Qian Renxue. Only she, as the Angel God's successor, possessing the Angel God's inherited Spirit Bone, and with an innate disguise Spirit Ability, could disguise herself so flawlessly. Even if a Titled Douluo were to examine her, they would not be able to tell that she was a fake Xue Qinghe.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door.
Qian Renxue paused her action of reviewing the memorial, then gently put down her pen. She said coldly, "Come in!"
The study door was slowly pushed open, and a young man, head bowed and holding a letter with both hands, walked in, respectfully and softly saying, "Young Master, this is Young Master Yun Chuan's reply to you."
Qian Renxue's emotionless face showed a drastic change, and she paid no mind to anything else, hurriedly saying, "Bring it quickly."
The young man held the letter with both hands, slowly walked to the desk with his head bowed, and after handing the letter to Qian Renxue, he withdrew his hands and slowly retreated, all the way to the door, before slowly closing the door again.
Only Qian Renxue was left in the room at this moment, and she no longer bothered to maintain her disguise. Her entire body gradually became enveloped by a layer of light, and when the light dissipated, the ordinary young man had now transformed into a peerless beauty.
A head of golden hair, as dazzling as the sun, simply cascaded down, yet it possessed an inherently captivating charm. Her skin was fairer than snow, and her facial features were exquisitely beautiful, every part showcasing feminine softness and allure.
Between her eyebrows was a small Seraphim imprint, and her golden eyes held an inherent majesty, beautiful yet dangerous. She wore a golden palace gown, a one-piece dress, seemingly woven with gold threads, with no excessive patterns or decorations, its style ancient and elegant. As for her figure… it could only be described as perfect.
Around fifteen or sixteen years old, she was in the most innocent and beautiful years of a young girl.
After recovering her true form, Qian Renxue's jade fingers eagerly tore open the envelope, took out the letter inside, and slowly unfolded it. The first thing she saw was familiar handwriting, slender and well-proportioned, with a dignified form. It had to be said that Yun Chuan, despite his young age, wrote a beautiful hand.
Qian Renxue began reading from the beginning, and the first thing she saw was the opening line: The cutest, most beautiful, most gentle, and kindest Sister Xue in the World.
She couldn't help but blush, and softly spat, "This little brat… if you're not ashamed, I am."
Then she continued reading.
— Summer flowers bloom enchantingly, but alas, they are not as beautiful as you; the summer sun is infinitely bright, but cannot compare to your warmth; the summer rain is cool and boundless, but how can it compare to a light kiss on the lips. My thoughts are full, when shall we meet?
"This little brat, I already said that last time was an accident, why does he keep remembering it…" Qian Renxue lightly bit her tender, rosy lips, recalling how he had asked for a farewell kiss when they parted last time. She had intended to just kiss his cheek. But this little brat actually tilted his head slightly, causing her to accidentally kiss his lips… It was so embarrassing. That was her first kiss!
Shy and overwhelmed, Qian Renxue continued reading.
— The most skilled painter cannot depict your beauty; the most exquisite poem cannot express my deep love for you. My beloved girl, I am willing to transform into an Angel, to forever guard you.
"Hmph, what does a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair understand about love? Where did this kid learn all this nonsense? Next time I go back, I must interrogate him properly!" Qian Renxue lightly snorted, muttering, "And I'm the Angel, alright? Even if someone were to transform into an Angel, it would be me…"
Her words stopped abruptly here.
Realizing what she had just said, Qian Renxue's pretty face was already as red as the evening glow, and her noble golden eyes glistened with tears… At this moment, she truly looked like a normal girl, one could even call her a girl in love.
She looked left and right like a guilty thief, and after realizing she was the only one in the room, Qian Renxue finally let out a sigh of relief. Then she composed herself and continued reading.
— Two months have passed since you last returned. These short sixty days, for me, felt as long as sixty years. I finally understand what the ancients meant by 'one day apart feels like three autumns'.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but retort when she read this, "Is it that exaggerated?" Although she was complaining verbally, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, clearly indicating that she was quite pleased with these words. This was a typical case of saying one thing but meaning another, proving that women love to hear such obviously false words. Even if they know it's false, they just like to hear it.
— I think of you in the most beautiful night, I yearn for you with the deepest breath, I feel you in the most pleasant moments, and in the most disheartened times, I know that having you in this World is already enough.
My longing for you surges like a tide every day, causing me countless sleepless nights. Regardless of whether it's a sunny day, a cloudy day, or a rainy day, any day I can see you is a bright day; regardless of yesterday, today, or tomorrow, any day I can be with you is a beautiful day.
I miss our carefree time together so much. Whether you are by my side or far away, just knowing that there is a 'you' in a corner of the World makes the entire World feel gentle and peaceful.
How I long to go to the city where you are, to breathe the wind you breathe, to breathe the air you breathe, to walk the path you walk, to see the scenery of your life, to feel the temperature around you, to embrace you… (omitting several mushy words)… Meeting you is the luck of my life; your kindness to me always moves me to tears; therefore, I have made this most important decision: to spend all the remaining time of my life with you!
Word by word, she savored the emotions between the lines.
Since Qian Renxue started reading the letter, the smile on her face had never stopped. She felt that just by looking at this letter, the fatigue and annoyance from days of handling government affairs completely dissipated. In its place was a tingling sensation, as if she had just experienced a massage. Her body felt light, and her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
After finishing the entire letter, she couldn't help but read it again from the beginning, her pretty face constantly adorned with a happy smile. In the end, she pressed the letter to her full chest with both hands, leaned back as if all her strength had left her, collapsing onto the backrest of the chair, her golden eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. From time to time, she would let out a soft chuckle.
At this moment, Qian Renxue looked like a silly girl in love.
No, she didn't just look like it.
She was currently a silly girl in love.
