Yi Chengxuan was the first to speak. “Let your companions come over. That way, you can be at ease.”
Companions? Yue Xin was a little dazed when she heard this term.
Mi Aya, on the other hand, looked very happy. She covered her mouth and snickered. “Aiya, I’m just Boss’s saber. How can we be partners?”
No.12 remained silent and stood silently behind Yue Xin. His meaning was obvious.
The werewolf brother only had one thought. “I want to go back and knit.” In the end, Yue Xin entered Building No. 5 with her three bodyguards.
This was Yue Xin’s first time entering Building No. 5. Compared to all the buildings she had entered before, Building No. 5 was the most ordinary building. There were no magnificent decorations, no particular etiquette, and there was not even the aura of death.
If anything, it was very ordinary. It was so ordinary that it was as if this was not a prison but an ordinary residential building in a country outside. The prisoners were not cellmates but neighbors.
Yue Xin even saw a prisoner knocking on another prisoner’s door to borrow a set of bowls and chopsticks from him. These ordinary things seemed too strange in the Land of the Fallen.
Yue Xin also saw Denise’s younger siblings. They were all smiling and looked like they were doing well.
Yue Xin and the other three followed Yi Chengxuan all the way to the 36th floor, where the people in power lived. Unlike the other places in Building No. 5, Yi Chengxuan lived in a different world. It was not the difference between luxury and plainness, but a completely different era. As soon as they entered the 36th floor, a faint sandalwood fragrance lingered in their noses. In the nearest room where they could see, there was a yellow rosewood table. There was an inkstone on the table, rice paper under the inkstone, and a few brushes on the inkstone.
From Yue Xin’s angle, she could see the bamboo outlined in ink on the rice paper.
All the windows on Yi Chengxuan’s floor were carved windows. They took a few more steps and saw another room with Go. There was a game on the chessboard. Beside the chessboard was a huge red sandalwood shelf. On the shelf was a large plate with several exquisite Buddha hands.
The entire 36th floor that belonged to Yi Chengxuan was filled with the aura of life, just like Maya’s 34th floor. These were all traces of Yi Chengxuan’s life. Every room had its own unique use.
The few of them walked forward in silence and finally stopped in front of a room that was 300 square meters big. It was filled with long dresses. These were the gifts Yi Chengxuan had said he would prepare for Yue Xin.
“I don’t know if you’ve ever worn anything like this. My gut tells me you should look good in it, so I asked them to send it over.”
Yue Xin looked at the various dresses Yi Chengxuan had bought and realized that most of them were Han Chinese clothes. There were also some modern clothes that were simple.
Yue Xin had seen this type of clothes before, but she had never worn them before. The clothes she wore at home were either school uniforms or gowns for banquets. Later on, she lived with her sister. Her sister wore simple T-shirts and sweaters, so she dressed like her sister.
Yi Chengxuan walked to Yue Xin’s side and picked up a Han suit in front of her to introduce it. “The collar of the Han suit represents the earth in the round sky and earth, and the earth is the human path, which is square. The sleeve is round, representing the round sky in the round sky and earth.”
“Most of the clothes in the Hanfu are wide-sleeved, representing magnanimity and elegance. I think they suit you very well.”
Hearing this, Yue Xin reached for the Hanfu that Yi Chengxuan handed over and said indifferently, “Could it be that you used to sell clothes?”
Yi Chengxuan was not angry when he heard this. He smiled faintly. “This is the first time I’ve done such a thing. How can I make you unhappy? Please forgive me.”
Yue Xin took the Han suit and hugged it in her arms. It weighed a lot. Yue Xin looked up at Yi Chengxuan’s eyes and asked softly, “What’s your goal?”
Yi Chengxuan’s expression did not change. He said gently, “I just want to make you happy.”
When Yue Xin heard this answer, she retracted her gaze. “You’re lying. You’re clearly unhappy.”
With that, Yue Xin brushed past Yi Chengxuan. She was holding the clothes Yi Chengxuan had chosen for her and took another one. She waved at Mi Aya.
“Aya, come here.”
Mi Aya ran over eagerly and screamed as she hugged the clothes Yue Xin handed over.. “Ahhh! Can I wear the same type of clothes as Boss? Today is the happiest day of my life!”
