Chapter 3, Drunken Dance (II)
The young man halted in his steps, biting his lip, and a fierce flame suddenly ignited in his eyes, flickering and dancing.
The young man rubbed his well-defined nose and suddenly smiled, saying: "I am convinced! From now on, my life belongs to you, Miss!"
Yun Feifei hurriedly turned her head to look, and the young man was grinning at her, saying, "Is your esteemed name Yun Feifei?" His smile was very pure, yet it bore a pair of shallow dimples, revealing no trace of bitterness or sorrow. The rush of running seemed to have diluted his intoxication considerably; his previously flushed cheeks had now turned pale, reminding one that he had just suffered a serious injury two or three days ago
If you don't tell me your name, I will hit you. Are you not convinced
Dingxiang jumped up and hugged her head, running faster down the mountain, shouting as she ran: "I didn't say it, I didn't say it!"
She took the young man's hand and nimbly led him to run swiftly towards the mountainside
The young man stared blankly at the falling wine gourd and said with a bitter smile: "Is my life yours? Fine, then let my life be yours!"
Yun Feifei sent Yezi back to the small shed, pressed her against the broken chair where the food was placed, and then swung her legs while grinning and looking at Yezi
Yun Feifei released the young man's hand, casually gave him a light knock on the head, and said: "Dingxiang asked for your name, not your surname!"
Yun Feifei found this person's way of speaking quite strange and asked, "Are you not convinced?"
Even if he is filled with bitterness and sorrow, he should not vent his anger on Yun Feifei. After all, she is his savior
Ye Zi knew that Yun Feifei was going to eat by herself. He smiled, picked up the bowl, and forcefully stuffed the food into his mouth, his cheeks bulging. Then he swallowed with effort, and Yun Feifei could clearly see the intense movement of his Adam's apple.
The young man took the cloth, wiped his face, and said with a smile, "Oh, I accidentally bit my own lip!"
Dingxiang exclaimed, "Miss, does this mean that from now on, in addition to me, your maid Dingxiang, there will be another servant to serve you... a servant... hey, what is your name?"
"Good!" the young man exclaimed loudly, "From now on, I am Ye Zi, the leaf of Yun Fei Fei!" He laughed heartily, reached out to pluck a handful of tender green leaves from the nearby bushes, and tossed them down the mountain. The leaves fluttered and rolled in the wind, gently descending, and soon became submerged in the boundless sea of green
The young man smiled and said, "My surname is Ye"
The young man was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "When you saved me, you mentioned it to others. I just happened to remember it."
The young man touched his head and said with a wry smile, "A man's head should not be hit, or he will become foolish"
"When did I ever tell you my name?" The two had barely exchanged a few words, when did Yun Feifei mention her own name?
Yun Feifei expressed her confusion with a soft "Oh," and then smiled as she said, "Your surname is Ye, so from now on, I will call you Yezi! If you promise not to drink alcohol anymore, I will also allow you to call me Yun Feifei, no need to address me as Miss!"
Yun Feifei recalled for a while before realizing and exclaimed: "Are you talking about that Chen Si? Yes, he is also your lifesaver. If you encounter him, remember to repay him with fifty taels of silver and thank him properly. ... ... It's fortunate that you still remember what happened back then, but do you recall the smell of that dung?"
Yun Feifei said triumphantly: "Alright, then you should obediently go back and have your meal now!"
"How do you know my name?" Yun Feifei asked the young man, but then turned her head to glare at Dingxiang
"Yes, and I stipulate that you are not allowed to drink!" Yun Feifei snatched the young man's wine gourd and threw it down the mountain. The orange gourd traced a long arc in the air, falling far down to the foot of the mountain without making a sound.
The young man smiled and said, "She didn't say it; you said it yourself"
Yun Feifei hurriedly took a cloth to wipe and asked in surprise, "What happened to you?"
Yun Feifei saw the man stop and hurriedly turned around to look. She only saw the young man slowly pulling apart his clear smile and saying, "Oh, I must thank him!" However, as he spoke, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his lips
Hehe, I am convinced. However, as a worthless person like me, having a surname is enough; do I even deserve a name? The young man laughed, yet there was an indescribable bitterness in his tone
