1601 Different From What I Imagined
She must have gone soft to have been seduced by Beitang You’s good looks!
“Big Sis Yaoyao, are you awake?”
Hexin’s voice was heard from outside.
Yaoyao was taken aback. Surprised, she hastily pulled off her covers and got out of bed.
When she saw her shoes neatly arranged on the floor, she was astonished.
She remembered running off from Beitang You’s bedchamber last night; she had forgotten to put on her shoes then.
Could Beitang You have delivered them back to her room last night?
She pursed her lips and put on her shoes, then opened the room door.
Hexin was standing outside.
However, there was a girl she did not recognize standing next to Hexin and chatting with her.
When they heard the door open, both girls turned to look at Yaoyao. They saw Yaoyao’s hair in a mess and she looked out of sorts. They were so surprised their mouths were agape.
Yaoyao did not expect an outsider to be present and she felt embarrassed to be caught looking so disheveled.
“Urm, come in and have a seat. I’ll go clean myself up first.” With that, she turned quickly and returned to the room.
“Xinxin, was that really Princess Yaoyao?” The girl standing next to Hexin quickly collected herself and asked with some surprise.
Hexin had also just processed what happened and coughed lightly. She nodded. “That’s right. She is Princess Yaoyao.”
“Why is nothing like what I imagined?” The little girl was confused.
Hexin knew very well that there was a huge discrepancy between her first impression of Yaoyao and how she imagined her to be, so she explained, “She usually isn’t this way. It’s probably due to her not sleeping well last night. If we don’t clean ourselves up after getting up, we would probably look that way too.”
The girl nodded. “That’s true.”
Despite saying that, both girls had never looked that way before. If they knew they were to appear in front of others, they would clean themselves up properly and look as pretty as possible.
As such, they were both shocked to see a woman of royal status like Yaoyao appear before them looking like a mess.
“Come on. Let’s go in and take a seat,” said Hexin.
Yaoyao had quickly cleaned herself up by the time they entered. She now looked completely different from just now.
She was wearing a light green long dress and her dark, shiny hair was loosely held up by a jade hair stick.
Yaoyao was dressed simply, but she looked gorgeous.
The new girl stared at her in a daze. “Princess Yaoyao looks so pretty.”
Yaoyao asked, “You are…”
Hexin quickly introduced her. “Big Sis Yaoyao, this is Yuan You. She is my cousin.”
Yaoyao nodded. “How do you do?”
Yuan You realized she was being addressed and quickly stood up. She said with pleasant surprise, “How do you do, Princess Yaoyao?”
Yaoyao blinked and gave a small smile when she heard this, “I think I’m not that much older than you. There is no need to be so formal. It would make me feel old.”
Yuan You waved her hand in a panic when she heard this. “No, I don’t mean it that way. I just think that you’re of noble status, which was why…”
Hexin tugged on Yuan You’s sleeve and interrupted her with a laugh. “Youyou, she was just kidding with you.”
“Huh?” Yuan You was a little slow to react.
Yaoyao went forward and gave her a flick on the head. “Did you just take that seriously? Since we’re close in age, you can just call me Yaoyao or Big Sis just like Xinxin does, if you don’t mind.”
Yuan You was astonished to hear that. “Can I really call you that?”
“Of course.”
“You’re not pompous at all,” Yuan You blurted eventually .
“Why should I be pompous? I may be a princess, but I’m also an ordinary person. Since all of us get along, there is no need for us to keep up with pretentious formalities,” Yaoyao said matter-of-factly.
“You surprise me,” said Yuan You. She had been initially cautious, but now, she was much more relaxed.
