*take a look at the picture attached.. it's Handsome He Yan ..
Upon receiving the promise, Cheng Lisu couldn't believe his ears. He waited until He Yan repeated herself several times, even swearing by the heavens, before he finally believed that she was truly willing to help him.
He poured a cup of tea for He Yan and offered it with both hands. "Thank you, big brother. You've truly saved me! If there's anything you need in the future, even if it means going through fire and water, I'll be there for you!"
He Yan was about to speak, but he was quick to interject, "I know, big brother, your wish is to join the Nine Banner Battalion and make a name for yourself. Rest assured, once this matter is over, I will praise you to my uncle every day. Even if I have to transcribe books every day, I'll make sure to help you settle this matter!"
"... I was going to say," He Yan stopped his exuberance, "I agreed to take your place at the banquet, but you still need to convince your uncle."
Was Xiao Jue the type to easily agree? After all, this whole situation sounded quite bizarre.
"Don't worry about that," Cheng Lisu happily approached her, "I've already talked to my uncle about it before coming to you."
"Xiao Jue agreed?" He Yan was surprised.
"Perhaps he felt guilty for not letting you join the Nine Banner Battalion earlier and wanted to give you a chance to prove yourself," Cheng Lisu earnestly looked at He Yan. "So you see, with the right timing, location, and people, big brother, you taking my place at the banquet is fate."
He Yan didn't bother with Cheng Lisu's nonsense. She was only surprised that Xiao Jue had agreed so easily. It didn't seem like his usual approach. Could there be some sort of trap?
Seeing He Yan's silence, Cheng Lisu grew anxious, "Big brother, are you having second thoughts?"
"No," He Yan sighed, "I'm just thinking about how to impersonate you. After all, you and I are different."
"Don't worry. Yuan Baozhen has never seen my face, so you won't be exposed. But I do need to give you some instructions to avoid arousing suspicion. I love to eat chicken with mushrooms, and I hate eating rice porridge. I dislike people following me; if I eat peanuts, I'll get a rash on my face. I take baths every day, change my clothes frequently, and use incense... "
As he went on, He Yan could only see the life of a pampered rich young master. She shook her head.
Cheng Lisu continued for the time it took to burn an incense stick before finally stopping, picking up a cup of tea to moisten his dry throat, and then came back to life.
"Big brother, do you remember everything I just said?"
He Yan: "...I remember." She said, "Is there anything else you need to instruct me about? Let's get it all out at once."
"Let me think," Cheng Lisu sat down and looked at He Yan. He Yan was around the same age as him, and among the new recruits in Liangzhou, she was quite outstanding. She didn't appear strong or robust, but rather small and delicate. Yet, this actually worked in his favor. If she were dressed as a wealthy young master...
"Wait, I almost forgot something important!" Cheng Lisu slapped his forehead, "You can't attend the banquet dressed like that. At the very least, I am the son of the Right Division Director. How can you dress so shabbily? Wait here." He rushed into the room, busy with something. In a short while, he came back carrying a bundle.
"These are some clothes I picked out. Take them and wear them. Our builds are quite similar, so they should fit you. Even though it's a disguise, big brother, you should look presentable. Besides looking somewhat decent, I don't have any other strengths. If even this advantage is lost, won't I be worthless?"
