You Made Me Miss Our Qinlou Rendezvous

That day, he was drilling the soldiers in the courtyard when he suddenly spotted a kite drifting past the eaves. It was patterned with phoenix butterflies, with two tassels dangling from the tip of its tail. The intricate design showed just how much care its owner had put into it.

After spending so long on the battlefield, the soldiers had never seen anything so delicate. They glanced over from the corners of their eyes, found it interesting, and all stopped what they were doing.

“What are you looking at? Keep training.” Xue Sui gave a sharp rebuke, then kicked up a small pebble with his boot. It shot through the air and snapped the kite string.

The kite spun in the wind and plunged headfirst into the dense canopy. The soldiers reluctantly looked away and resumed their punches.

Xue Sui gave a slight shake of his head, though the corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.

Sure enough, not half an incense stick later, a head suddenly appeared above the wall. Then, slowly, half a smiling face emerged beneath it. “Um... General Xue...”

Everyone turned to look as the newcomer finally managed to speak. “My kite landed in your courtyard. Could I... come in and retrieve it?”

The group burst into laughter.

The vendors on Su You Street were stunned by the laughter.

They glanced up. Goodness, wasn't that the young master of the Prime Minister's household? Why was he climbing over the wall? This pampered young lord seemed like a mischievous child.

Cheng Qingyun's name was once again on everyone's lips.

“Have you heard? The Prime Minister's residence opened a side gate onto Su You Street.”

“Ha! I knew that already. It's right across from General Xue's residence. With one civil and one military figure there, even the sesame flatbreads on Su You Street have gone up by two copper coins.”

# The aloof, secretly passionate great general x the proud, pampered young master

Bottom: Chasing him for love, over and over and over (after chasing him for ages, I realized this guy is way too secretly passionate. This young master is done playing. Hmph.)

Top: Aloof and reserved, avoiding him at every turn (Thinking about their identities, their differences, the state of affairs... After all that thinking, his beloved has run off! What?!)

Wait, little darling, come back!
