Hearing her, Liu Ying looked at Linxiao with wide eyes.
'How could she forget the person in front of her is Princess Linxiao.'
Shaking her head, Linxiao said, "forget about this ...and answer me". Glaring into Liu Ying's eyes.
"What? I didn't hear what you said," Liu Ying boldly replied to Linxiao
"Ohh, how could you hear me... when your eyes were on my handsome face" she teased Liu Ying lifting her brows with a chuckle on her lips.
"Could you stop teasing me?" Liu Ying asked.
"Then..Tell me don't you blush…" Linxiao counter.
"If you didn't stop then", Liu Ying paused and …
"Then.." Linxiao released a smirk.
Then Liu Ying looked here and there and continued again, "then I am gonna shout your name" she warned.
Coming closer to Liu Ying, Linxiao counter, "Can you?"...
"L.i.ii..nnn…" putting stress on her words Liu Ying whispered as that can only be heard by Linxiao. But Keeping her hands on Liu Ying's mouth, Linxiao closed her mouth..with her palm to say something further.
So, Liu Ying wasn't able to complete her sentence.
The friendship between Linxiao and Liu Ying was because Linxiao starts to trust Liu Ying that she does not have any harm with her as she knows from the previous host memories that they were friends and Liu Ying serve Linxiao from her childhood so without any fear Linxiao also accept Liu Ying as her friend.
it's good making friends rather than foe in the place where your survival is at stake. So, Linxiao became close to Liu Ying and spent her time with her without any worry.
"Okkk..ok!...I will not tease you anymore" saying that Linxiao took her hand back off from Liu Ying.
"Okay! Stop playing, now tell me, how about Xiaotong?.,.Linxiao says while waiting to hear Liu Ying.
"Hmmm, That's good. .Xiaotong means a beautiful sky...that really suits you...fantastic name!," Liu Ying says.
Informing the meaning of Linxiao's name, she smiled.
"I think so.." Linxiao said with a proud smile on her lips as she did some great invention.
Linxiao felt proud that she came up with this name. As she was thinking about this proudly, Liu Ying interrupted her thoughts and asked, "Hmm, how did you come up with such a great name?" Liu Ying asked in amusement as she knows that Linxiao never comes up with any name without any reason, so she asked about the reason behind her name, and wanted to know the mystery behind the name.
"Don't you think I am a genius?" while smirking Linxiao said.
Before Liu Ying counters her, she cuts her off and announces.
"Well it's nothing great, in the name Xiao Tong,..Xiao..came from my last name of Linxiao and about tong…"As she said, a devilish smile appeared on her face and she throws a flirty wink to Liu Ying "I can't tell you this now, maybe a little later" she says with a chuckle.
Linxiao smirked and thought about how she got the tong name, it all came to her as 'tong' name was nothing new to her because before transmigration from the modern world, Tong was her name, which was given to her by her so.. Cold fan girls who adore her, say that "she is one and only sky for their shining moon".
As Liu Ying knows that, Linxiao will not tell her right now as she said so also she did not ask further and After this heartwarming talk and teasing to each other, they both come out of that alley and start to walk slowly in the market.
As Linxiao was walking, she thinks about the morning event and how she came here and why she disguises herself as a man when she was a princess then why she needs to do this.
Flashback,
In the morning when Linxiao woke up the first thing she wanted to do was go out of the palace and find that girl who was supposed to help her and give information about her mother, whom she was about to meet that day before the accident.
So Linxiao stood from the bed to the purpose that today she would solve some mystery of her life. When she has given this life so there must be some reason for this.
Linxiao thought first to go to the bathhouse which was beside her chamber, she knew where it was located as she had already spent a few days there so she knew how things work here and the life of the princes .
Just as Linxiao came out of her bed-chamber and started to go towards the bathhouse, she saw Liu Ying coming towards her and she bowed her head, joining her both hands forward in respect.
Linxiao nodded her head. She thought it was necessary for Liu Ying to bow to her whenever she met her.
"Linxiao where are you going?" she asked after arising from the bow.
"I am going to the bathhouse," Linxiao replied politely.
"Let me help you with your bath" Liu Ying stated and came forward and started to walk behind Linxiao.
