Chapter 1065 - 583: Love at First Sight and Jealousy (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Ah Qing took a deep breath and temporarily set aside the surprise of Miss Qin’s sudden ’confession,’ her gaze serious.

The sword dance she was about to demonstrate for Miss Yun was the most important thing.

Since Yun Qian cared about a woman’s appearance, she naturally had to do her best.

With this thought in mind, Ah Qing walked to the front of the stage.

——

Below the stage, Miss Qin’s sudden appearance surprised many, but those who had secretly seen Ah Qing could guess that Miss Qin was attracted to Ah Qing.

After all, even though Miss Qin was special, she was still a woman.

A woman’s love at first sight is the most irrational emotion, never needing logic, nor needing to think if it’s worth their affection.

Like means like.

When Miss Qin first saw Ah Qing’s reflection in the mirror, her heart accelerated, wanting to embrace her fiercely; knowing this was enough.

Miss Qin’s playing weakened, signaling that someone else was about to take the stage.

Below the stage, Huang’Er started to pout.

She stared at Miss Qin on the stage, her little face puffed up.

Something’s not right.

Something’s wrong!

She was only away from Ms. Qing for a short while, and now she was flirting with Miss Qin?

What happened?

Huang’Er was confused.

Clearly, just a short moment passed, but she felt the entire world had turned unfamiliar... At this time, a sense of crisis erupted in Huang’Er’s heart, and her inner alarm was sounding loudly.

Not long ago, her Ms. Qing was not someone people liked; she was just an overlooked musician whom only she admired, the sole fan.

In just a blink of an eye, even the best zither master from Flower Moon Building was willing to perform for her.

If this continued, then in the future... what if Ms. Qing didn’t like her anymore?

Just then, Huang’Er noticed that Miss Qin performing on stage suddenly glanced at her from a distance, and then... maybe it was an illusion, but she smiled at her.

It felt like the tolerance of an elder sister to a younger one, making Huang’Er feel like she was struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Only to see Miss Qin raise her ivory-colored arm, her slender jade-like fingers brush the strands of hair beside her forehead behind her ear, revealing that stunning cold beauty.

At least in terms of appearance, Huang’Er admitted she and Ah Qing matched a little.

But...

What was with that tolerant look?

Who in the entire Flower Moon Building didn’t know she was inseparable from Ms. Qing? Anyone with some brain would know she had feelings for Ms. Qing... What was with Miss Qin’s gaze that seemed like she was the mistress?

It felt like she was saying, ’After I marry your sister, I’ll treat you well.’

Even if she were indeed a younger sister, even if her gaze truly was gentle... but...

Huang’Er clenched her silver teeth tightly.

This was provocation; it had to be provocation.

The young girl tightly clenched her fist, gripping the hem of her skirt hard, the dissatisfaction in her eyes almost turning into substance.

She hadn’t even taken the stage yet...

She dared not imagine how many more romantic rivals would appear if Ah Qing perfectly completed the performance.

"Huang’Er, calm down." A woman nearby looked at the tooth-gritting young girl with a sly smile, reminding her: "Your jealousy is about to overflow."

"Exactly." Another woman directly laughed out loud, telling Huang’Er: "Ni Zi, your jealousy right now is ugly, quickly hold back, don’t disgrace us in front of Sister Shi."

Shi Qingjun: "..."

Suddenly named, Shi Qingjun blinked, she looked at the zither master on the stage, then at Huang’Er, who had a restriction placed by Zhu Pingniang, not understanding what was happening.

Probably jealousy?

Shi Qingjun couldn’t quite understand this emotion, but could guess what was happening, she thought for a while about Zhu Pingniang’s feelings for Li Zhibai.

’Tong Jun is also a jealous woman.’

"Nothing disgraceful." Shi Qingjun said calmly.

"Hey... Sister Shi, you really are generous." A woman exclaimed.

"Is this generosity?" Shi Qingjun blinked.

"All of you, don’t lead Sister Shi astray, she’s a proper young lady, not like you clingy women." Huang’Er’s goodwill towards Shi Qingjun increased when she saw she spoke up for her, she pouted: "Look at Sister Shi... then look at yourselves."

All they knew was how to bully her.

They treat her worse than an outsider.

All bad women.

The women in Flower Moon Building didn’t care about sisterly bonds, don’t be fooled by how they seem gentle like water and support your emotions now, when faced with a girl they fancy, they wouldn’t reason with you, using all means is the truth.

If it wasn’t for knowing this performance was indeed important, concerning whether Ah Qing could integrate into Flower Moon Building... Huang’Er would have wanted to go backstage to stop Ah Qing from taking the stage.

"Really... never give people peace of mind." Huang’Er mumbled: "And you say you’re bad women, no bad woman like you would let go of someone you like... Obviously, only I know Sister’s true nature, beyond me, liking you doesn’t count."

Shi Qingjun’s eyelashes blinked, she placed the peeled mandarin orange segment into her mouth, savoring the sweet and sour taste bursting in her mouth, her forehead slightly inclined to one side, the corners of her lips raised in a smile.

She couldn’t quite understand the way the girls from Flower Moon Building interacted, but it didn’t prevent her from finding it amusing.

Very amusing.

Whether the girls’ emotions or the jealousy, both felt fresh.

While feeling fresh, she suddenly became a bit curious about the woman named ’Ah Qing.’

Was she supposed to be extremely beautiful?

Using beauty, making these women whose Spirit Platform was solid enough to astonish even her, fall in love at first sight...

What would she look like?

She ate the orange, properly restrained her aura, and looked at the stage.

At the feast table, Yun Qian took everything in, pondering.

Jealousy... emotion?

Yun Qian always didn’t know what the emotion of jealousy was like, but she was willing to try to understand, because Xu Chang’an said if she felt jealous about certain things, he would be happy.

But Yun Qian always felt she was not cut out for jealousy, even when she acted like she was jealous, Xu Chang’an would easily see through her deliberate act.

So, learning to be jealous was also in Yun Qian’s plan.

At this moment, she observed Ah Qing and the romantic interests surrounding her, vaguely capturing the core of the ’jealousy’ emotion.

It’s emotion.

Because you care, because you’re afraid of losing, so you become jealous.

Yun Qian blinked.

She tilted her head, looked at Xu Chang’an tightly holding her fingers, interlocking fingers with her, then closed her eyes.

Would her husband be taken away?

This question at the current stage didn’t need contemplating, and even many years later, when everything faced an end, her husband’s feelings toward her were not ones of disgust, Yun Qian could say she was ’abandoned’ by him, could say she was discarded countless times, making her nerves sensitive enough not to respond to even a slight possibility of being abandoned.

But abandonment was one thing, definitely not ’taken away’ by someone else.

No matter how many romantic affairs he had, this was the one thing Yun Qian never worried about.

So...

Yun Qian suddenly realized something.

Her inability to be jealous might not be her fault, but rather because of her husband?

If Xu Chang’an took the stage, knowing he would be liked by many, Yun Qian wouldn’t worry like Huang’Er about having her affections taken away, she’d only think those who liked him had foresight.

She wouldn’t feel bitter, she’d feel happy.

"So my inability to be jealous isn’t my fault...?" Yun Qian murmured, thoughtful.

"Miss? What are you mumbling about?" Xu Chang’an pinched Yun Qian’s hand.

Didn’t she say she wanted to watch the sword dance, yet when the zither melody started, she seemed distracted.

Oh... the sword dance hadn’t started yet, now’s the piano girl’s confession time.

Xu Chang’an found it quite amusing, seeing that even the half-demon woman in Flower Moon Building had suitors.

"I can’t learn to be jealous." Yun Qian looked earnestly at Xu Chang’an: "But maybe it’s not my fault..."

Yet if it wasn’t her fault, Yun Qian didn’t know how to correct it.

Because she would never try to forcibly change Xu Chang’an’s personality, only adapt to it.

But he was always so glued to her.

Then... wouldn’t she never be able to learn how to be jealous?
