Chapter 333: Chapter 126: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (13)

Chi Yun’er pursed her lips, clasping her hands behind her back as she nodded with a soft laugh. She began to walk backward playfully, asking with curiosity, "Brother Hua, may I be so bold as to ask you a question?"

When she drowned in the river in her previous life, she was already in her forties. The time seemed so far away, yet it also felt like yesterday.

The vitality of this young body made her heart feel like it was reviving as well.

Besides, a thought had just popped into her head. ’Perhaps there’s a way to solve this once and for all!’

Jiang Yihua glanced up at her. "If it were anyone else, I’d say that if you know it’s a bold question, you shouldn’t ask."

Chi Yun’er froze for a second before playing along. "Why only for other people? Am I... Am I different from everyone else?"

Jiang Yihua hummed in agreement. "I’m in a good mood right now. I’ll permit your boldness."

His words instantly made the atmosphere between them turn flirtatious.

Chi Yun’er felt the afternoon sun was a bit too intense, a faint heat rising in her cheeks. Still, she voiced the question that had been puzzling her all this time. "Brother Hua, you’re a top student from Imperial University. Plenty of employers would have been clamoring for you after graduation. Why did you end up coming here?"

Jiang Yihua wasn’t the least bit surprised. Almost everyone who had heard the rumors about him couldn’t help but ask about this after getting to know him a little.

He chuckled softly. "Because the skies changed. I needed to find shelter from the rain, so I passed my umbrella on to someone else."

He spoke cryptically, but Chi Yun’er understood his meaning perfectly.

’These are turbulent times. Talented people don’t necessarily have it better than ordinary folk. Sometimes, being exceptional just makes you a bigger target, letting those full of envy and jealousy take their shots at you.’

"So the ’someone else’ you mentioned, Brother Hua... was that your... ex-girlfriend?" Chi Yun’er clenched her fists and continued with another sharp question.

Jiang Yihua turned his head to look at her, raising an eyebrow. "Are you really that curious about me?" he asked mildly.

Everyone was curious about him, a man of legendary and supposedly unmatched excellence.

But he rarely gave anyone the chance to get close enough to satisfy their curiosity. She was one of the very few who had.
