"Mn." Shen Tianyu just hummed since she didn't know how to respond.
She waited until the other turned back to the food on the table before she opened her mouth again. "Yaoyao... the food is getting cold, should we... eat?"
Bai Yaoxuan angrily shoved the dirtied handkerchief into her sleeves and picked up her chopsticks form their rest without reply. Seeing the other was going to eat, Shen Tianyu returned to her seat and also started to dine on thier expensive meal that was getting cold.
"So. What made you want to be together with Zhu Wangye?" After getting through the souo and most of the big dishes on the table, Bai Yaoxuan deemed Shen Tianyu worthy of words and asked her.
"Hm... He was the first one to confess to me?" Shen Tianyu tilted her head as she put a piece of pickled fish into her mouth.
"That's it? What if it had been someone else? You can't just trust men so casually, especially after what happened." Bai yaoxuan was ready to go off on the other again but she spoke up to interrupt.
"Well, I think I should still give a chance. If you don't trust anyone and don't give any person a chance, you'll never find someone that truly likes you, you know? Besides, he's been good to me, protecting me without infringing on my own independence. I think his feelings are true at least. See, he even let you stay without asking what your identity was, right? Or how we even knew each other when I'm from a different continent."
Bai Yaoxuan wrinkled her nose, knowing it was true since she was there herself.
"I know you're worried about me Yaoyao, but I did take his status into consideration you know? And I've learnt my lesson, I've built up an organization that can throw a whole kingdom into chaos within two days. With such power, it would be hard for anyone to easily lay their hands on me." Shen Tianyu gave what she hoped was a reassuring smile. She really wasn't good with dealing with these issues.
"So you knew who he was when he con fessed to you?"
"Yes, though he didn't tell me in clear words until a little while after we got together. And I know what you're thinking, that it's dishonest to not tell your partner such an important thing right? But he is royalty after all, and on another continent no less. It's dangerous if other people knows his identity since they could potentially send people to assassinate him. Besides, we had just gotten together. You can get into a relationship out of love but to maintain a relationship, you need trust the most. Equating love to trust and throwing your everything at your lover when you first get together is something only a fool would do." She reasoned with the otehr when she saw her little sister open her mouth to protest.
"I understand..." Bai Yaoxuan let out a sigh in resignation but then a smile reappeared on her face. "And that's the more reason to tell me when you encounter danger, whether that is before or after, right?"
"Geh..." Shen Tianyu's face twitched as they veered back to the original topic. 'When did Yaoyao get so smart? Usually, speeches like this get her completely immersed and she'd forget what we were talking about before.' Shen Tianyu cleared her throat and looked at the ceiling, puckering her lips to try to whistle. Except she has never been able to whistle so it just sounded like puffs of air.
"Ling~ling~" Bai Yaoxuan accentuated Shen Tianyu's specific nickname her smile growing more threatening by the minute.
Shen Tianyu knew she couldn't keep up the act anymore so she looked down at the table as she scratched her nose sheepishly. Her eyes then darted to the side as she replied hesitantly. "I'll tell you... when, when I think you need to know, okay?"
"That just means you won't tell me anything, doesn't it?"
"Well... I'll tell you if it would normally endanger someone, whether it's you or me." Shen Tianyu offered her compromise. Though the other was her little sister, her position as the, technically, current head of Yaodu came with great dangers as many people wanted to capture or get their hands on the kowledge possessed by her members. Or try to control her in some way since she was the inventor of the cash cow that was the Lavender Palance and Lotus Pavillion. The less Bai Yaoxuan knew, the less danger she would be in.
Bai Yaoxuan's smile dropped off her face and she let out another sigh, making Shen Tianyu's shoulders jump even though she wasn't looking at the other. "Fine. I know that's your furthest compromise in this. I also understand why you're so insistent on this but promise me." Shen Tianyu turned to look at her when she heard the seriousness in her voice laced with pain and guilt. "This time, if you're ever in danger again, let me help you. If you can't get out of it, let me stay by you until the end. I don't want to go through what happened after you ere gone ever again, is that understood?"
