After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 73

Never mind. Since the system wasn’t willing to tell her, Yun Dan was too lazy to investigate further.

Perhaps Xiao Yueqing had thought things through again last night and decided he couldn’t casually deduct favorability points, so they had risen back up.

Regardless of how the favorability had shot back up, Yun Dan didn’t mind.

After all, who would complain about increased favorability?

When night fell, Yan Ke indeed came to find Yun Dan, just as he had said earlier.

Perhaps because they were going out to stroll the streets, Yan Ke had even changed into a different set of clothes.

Yun Dan looked Yan Ke up and down and couldn’t help but praise him. “Wow, no matter what color clothes you wear, they all seem to look especially good on you. If you go out like this, I’m afraid those girls will surround this entire street until it’s packed tight.”

Yan Ke waved the folding fan in his hand and lightly tapped her on the head, saying, “Hurry up and follow me. If we’re late, we won’t be able to see the fun stuff.”

Once they reached the street, Yun Dan sighed with realization—so this is what the ancient Qiqiao Festival was like.

Many men and women were walking around holding hands, which was much more open than she had imagined.

Just as Yun Dan had predicted, the moment Yan Ke stepped onto the street, he attracted countless gazes. Almost all the young ladies on the street looked toward him in unison.

Yan Ke himself didn’t seem to notice anything, just fanning himself with his folding fan, not paying attention to who was looking at him.

To him, this kind of situation was nothing unusual.

Moreover, Yan Ke had already anticipated this would happen before coming.

“Whose young master is that? He’s so handsome.”

“I don’t know. Never seen him before. He doesn’t seem to be a young master from around here, otherwise if he were this good-looking, I’d definitely know about it.”

“I should go up and ask what this young master’s name is and whether he’s married.”

However, before this person could step forward, she was stopped by others.

That person raised her hand and pointed at Yun Dan beside Yan Ke, saying, “It’s useless for you to go up now. Don’t you see there’s already a young lady by his side? Even if they’re not married, they’re definitely a couple.”

“So what? As long as they’re not married yet, I still have a chance. Besides, even if they are married, what of it? At worst, I’ll become his concubine.”

“The young master would have to fancy you first. If he doesn’t fancy you, even if you want to be his concubine, he wouldn’t want you.”

Fortunately, these young ladies were just joking around and didn’t do anything out of line.

This made Yun Dan feel somewhat awkward.

After all, she and Yan Ke didn’t have any special relationship—they had simply agreed to come stroll the lantern festival together.

Now that those young ladies had misunderstood, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash this clean.

Yun Dan tried to explain several times, but Yan Ke kept pinching the back of her hand, preventing her from speaking.

After those people had all left, Yun Dan couldn’t help but ask Yan Ke, “Young Master, why didn’t you let me explain just now?”

Yan Ke slightly turned his head and smiled at her. “That you and I have no relationship is something we both know, but in other people’s eyes, that’s not how it appears. Even if you say you and I have no relationship, do you think they would believe you?”

Yun Dan actually imagined such a scene.

If she had explained that she and Yan Ke had no relationship whatsoever, those people definitely wouldn’t have believed her and might have even thought she was pretentiously innocent.

“Young Master, standing by your side, I feel the pressure is too great. Who told you to be so good-looking? All the girls are staring at you.”

Yan Ke chuckled softly and asked back, “I didn’t want to look like this either, but I was born this way—it’s not something I can control. Besides, the eyes are on other people’s faces. If they want to look, let them look. Come on, I’ll take you to see some interesting things.”

Yun Dan was, after all, just an eighteen-year-old girl. As soon as she heard there were fun things to see, she instantly cheered up and forgot what she had wanted to say earlier.

Watching Yun Dan hop and skip around in front of him like a little rabbit, laughing and playing, the corners of Yan Ke’s mouth involuntarily curved upward.

“This little Yun Duo is quite interesting. Youth is wonderful—I’ve almost forgotten what I was like at eighteen.”

“Ah, getting old, getting old. Time truly spares no one.”

The items here weren’t particularly exquisite, but they had the advantage of being very fresh and new to Yun Dan.

Therefore, as she passed each stall, Yun Dan couldn’t help but look several times.

At the lantern festival, it wasn’t just Yun Dan and Yan Ke—there was also Yue Po in disguise.

When he was called out to attend the lantern festival, Yue Po had thought his master had some important task to assign him, but he never expected that his master simply wanted him to be a follower.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Yue Po quietly approached Yan Ke’s side and inquired, “Master, is there something you need to instruct this subordinate?”

Yan Ke raised his hand and pointed at Yun Dan not far away, saying, “All those things she looked at and touched just now, buy them all and have them sent to Mingyue Manor. Oh, and buy two sets—put one set at Tianqing Manor.”

Yue Po: ……

But as a competent subordinate, he naturally couldn’t disobey any task issued by his master.

Although Yue Po felt somewhat indignant inside, he had to acknowledge his master’s order.

“This subordinate will handle it immediately.”

Yun Dan had no idea that all the things she had touched along the way had been bought by someone, and that person was even complaining about her.

“Aren’t these all things children like? I don’t understand—how could Miss Yun like these things?”

“But what I understand even less is why Master has started being so ridiculous. Could he have been influenced by this Miss Yun?”

Unfortunately, no matter how much Yue Po thought about it, he couldn’t figure out why.

Yan Ke wasn’t particularly interested in these things, so he found a place to stand and rest for a moment when suddenly someone tugged at his sleeve.

He looked down to see a little girl pulling at his sleeve.

“What is it, little friend?”

The little girl held up the flower garland in her hand and said, “Big Brother, buy a flower garland for your wife. Your wife is so pretty—she’ll look even better wearing a flower garland.”

“Wife? Who are you saying is my wife?”

The little girl raised her hand and pointed at Yun Dan, who was selecting masks not far away. “Isn’t she Big Brother’s wife? I saw Big Brother keeps looking at that sister. Buy a flower garland.”

Yan Ke hadn’t expected to be mistaken as being in a relationship with Yun Dan.

But he didn’t correct her. Instead, he took out an ingot of silver and gave it to the little girl, taking only one flower garland.

He bent down and patted the little girl’s head, saying, “Go home early. Big Brother only needs one flower garland, because I only have one wife.”
