Ye Lulu paused. F*ck. Did Li Bai and Du Fu not exist in this world?!
Guan Chibei looked on with surprise in his eyes.
As expected… he did not know where she came from. Perhaps her soul was from another dynasty.
Ye Lulu took a deep breath. This was too much. Her eyes flickered as she quickly thought of an excuse. She smiled and said, “Ah, it was an unlucky scholar from our hometown. He’s actually a talented scholar, but for some reason, he’s very unlucky. There were unfortunate events every time he took an examination, such as breaking his leg on the way to the examination hall, having diarrhea in the examination hall, experiencing a rainstorm after the examinations which coincidentally blurred the ink on his paper… So he didn’t receive scholarly honor and wasn’t famous in the Shang dynasty.”
“He has a reputation in our hometown. Everyone knows that he’s skilled in poems, so they read his poems.”
Ye Lulu wiped her sweat.
Guan Chibei asked her, “What’s his name?”
Ye Lulu said, “Li Bai.”
Unlucky scholar Li Bai.
Guan Chibei repeated the name and said, “I don’t know him.”
“Haha.” Ye Lulu laughed dryly and wiped her sweat. “It’s good that you don’t know him. Since he didn’t manage to become famous, you naturally haven’t heard of him.”
“Let’s talk about the name of the new shop.” Ye Lulu brought the topic back and said, “I think ‘Wei Lou’ sounds quite good. This poem was written well to begin with. Wei Lou is refreshing and direct. Apart from that, it has a little artistic conception. At the same time, it suits the situation very well. Let’s tease the commoners of Yuan City about this building’s past…”
“Be careful!”
Before Ye Lulu could finish, a cat meow sounded. “Meow!” That sound made her hair stand on end. Her back tensed up and she felt numb. Her entire body felt cold.
Apart from Guan Chibei’s scream, he grabbed Ye Lulu’s arm and pulled her away.
Before Ye Lulu could react, she was pulled into Guan Chibei’s arms with force. A masculine scent wafted over. It was not very warm. Perhaps it was because she had been standing by the river for a long time. It was cold but comfortable. In other words, it felt very safe.
Ye Lulu rushed in and buried her face in Guan Chibei’s chest. She subconsciously hummed. At the same time, an orange figure pounced over from the quiet alley in front of the building.
It pounced at the spot where Ye Lulu was standing just now!
Looking at the living creature’s exploding fur and the open claws that could be seen even when it pounced through the air, one could imagine that if Ye Lulu had stood where she was and not moved just now, based on her height, her face would have been scratched.
In ancient times, there were no beauty treatments. If her face was scratched, the scars would…
Ye Lulu looked up from Guan Chibei’s arms and happened to see that orange figure flashing past quickly. She gasped and felt her scalp turn numb.
Her heart was still beating rapidly in her chest as if it was about to jump out.
Ye Lulu’s fingers were still numb.
The cat’s cry just now was too sharp. It made one tense up and extremely afraid.
Guan Chibei instinctively raised his hand and wrapped it around Ye Lulu’s side. Perhaps it was because his senses were sharp, he sensed Ye Lulu’s nervousness, so he subconsciously hugged her.
