Chapter 169: Zixiao

Ren Baqian and the empress walked barefoot on the beach, feeling the tactile sensation of the fine sand beneath their feet. The sound of the sea chimed melodiously in their ears. Traces of white-colored waves surged towards the shore from afar. In succession, they struck the shoreline and receded slowly.

"How do you feel about here?" Ren Baqian did not bother to call the empress by her name at this point in time. Previously, both of them had agreed to call each other by their names. He felt somewhat disconnected from the empress if he called her Qi Zixiao. However, he couldn't quite bring himself to call her Zixiao either.

At the end of the day, he was an ordinary young man who had never dated a girl before. Furthermore, he had been somewhat anti-social in the past.

Even though his character had recently changed significantly, his social skills were still somewhat limited.
