"Otherwise? Is it possible that I will cry, make trouble, and hang myself?"
Bai Zhi's open-mindedness was unexpected to Kong Qing. After all, as a senior brother, he knew how obsessed she was with Qi Xiuyao.
So he was still vaguely worried before, fearing that she wouldn't be able to accept it and would do something outrageous.
At present, it seems that he is worrying too much.
Kong Qing suddenly felt a line of sight looking at him from time to time, which was not very friendly.
He frowned slightly, followed his gaze, and happened to bump into Yu Hengyue, who had not had time to look back.
Kong Qing raised his eyebrows in confusion. For some reason, he kept looking at him with hostile eyes.
If he remembers correctly, this can be regarded as their official first meeting, right?
Facing Kong Qing's calm and yet slightly doubtful expression, Yu Hengyue felt a little guilty for no reason, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Kong Qing was so amused by his appearance that he smiled and shook his head, but didn't take it to heart, and then ordered the boatman to row the boat elsewhere.
Although Bai Zhi can be so open-minded, as a senior brother, he must also know how to feel sorry for his junior sister. Now it is better to leave this place that makes her sad and sad, and not to be moved by the situation.
"That girl just now..."
Yu Shuyue didn't want to ask at first, but her curiosity was really a bit intense.
It seemed that she and Qi Xiuyao were quite familiar, and they were not from the imperial court. How could she not be curious about calling him by his first name?
Maybe this girl is related to the secret hidden by Qi Xiuyao.
"She is the apprentice of an expert and the junior sister of my good friend. I met her four years ago, but if Ah Yue believes me, I have no relationship with her."
When Yu Shuyue asked, Qi Xiuyao immediately answered without any hesitation, for fear that she might misunderstand.
Counting the time, four years have passed before I knew it. Time flies so fast.
Yu Shuyue just looked at her and raised her eyebrows, then nodded and hummed in a low voice. It was hard to say whether she believed what he said.
After all, the way Bai Zhi looked at him just now was not clear, and his explanation was unclear and ambiguous, making it hard to believe.
"Your Highness, should we go back? It's getting late."
Yu Shuyue looked at the time and saw that the sun had begun to slowly set in the west.
"good."
Qi Xiuyao knew that her expression just now meant that she did not take his explanation to heart, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
The boatman drove the boat to the shore and parked it. Hua An pushed Qi Xiuyao's wheelchair to get off the boat first. He was about to raise his hand to help Yu Shuyue get off the boat, but he saw that the next second she jumped and landed on the shore.
She got off the boat and straightened her clothes without looking at his raised hand. She ran towards Liu Ruoxi who was getting off the boat with a smile on her face, "Ruoxi, how are you? Do the lotus flowers look good?"
In that place outside the Great Wall, only tiny wild flowers grow in the wilderness. There are no bright and moving flowers like lotus.
The climate and conditions of that place made it impossible for delicate flowers like lotus to appear.
So this is the first time Liu Ruoxi has seen something in the poem that "comes out of the mud but is not stained, and washes through the clear ripples without being evil".
But just now on the boat, Liu Ruoxi had no intention of admiring the lotus flowers.
Hearing her friend's inquiry, she laughed uncomfortably, and then said: "Yeah, it's very beautiful. This is the first time I've seen lotus flowers. Thank you, Ayue."
"Ruoxi, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Shuyue heard the perfunctory and reluctant words in her mouth, and the smile on her face slowly fell, and she looked at her in confusion.
"I...I'm fine. Ah Yue, I'm feeling a little unwell. I'll take the first step and apologize to you and His Royal Highness another day."
Liu Ruoxi glanced at Yu Hengyue and found that his eyes were on Gu Jingyan and Yu Shuyue. She bit her lip reluctantly.
Tears loomed in her eyes, her nails dug into her palms, and finally she said this to Yu Shuyue in a panic, then turned around and left in a hurry.
"Hey Ruoxi, wait for me..."
Yu Shuyue noticed her little mood. She raised her eyes and glanced at her brother, and found that his eyes were confused. She was about to speak when she saw her friend leaving.
At this moment, she didn't care about the others and ran after her, leaving Yu Heng blinking in confusion. He looked at Qi Xiuyao, trying to find the answer from him.
But obviously what he got was an emotionless glance from Qi Xiuyao.
Yu Shuyue failed to catch up with Liu Ruoxi here because she rode away directly.
Liu Ruoxi's move was because she wanted to be alone and didn't want to face her right now.
She couldn't force herself to chase her. Give her some space first. She now needed to figure out what happened to the three of them on the boat.
It happened that the three people who were lagging behind also followed.
Yu Shuyue originally wanted to ask her brother directly, but seeing that the prince and Gu Jingyan were both there, she still grabbed her brother's arm and pulled him aside, "Brother, what happened on the boat just now? What did you do?"
"
Yu Hengyue was a little confused, "Nothing unexpected happened."
"But Ruoxi cried, and now she's leaving alone."
"But Brother Wei really doesn't know. He was fine on the boat just now. What's going on? Is it really because he's feeling unwell?"
Yu Hengyue had just been focused on Gu Jingyan and the white-haired man who appeared out of nowhere, but he really didn't pay attention to Liu Ruoxi.
"Brother, do you...do you know...do you know─"
Liu Ruoxi had never concealed her love for her brother in front of her, but she had also never exposed the window paper to her brother.
If she exposes it for her now, I don’t know whether it will be good or bad.
Yu Shuyue was troubled in her heart for a long time. Seeing that her brother really didn't notice at all, she struggled in her heart for a long time and finally gave up.
Forget it, let the parties involved handle this kind of thing themselves.
Now she's revealing what's going on.
Yu Shuyue raised her hand helplessly and punched her brother's waist and abdomen, then bit her molar teeth and turned around to get on the carriage angrily.
My brother usually seems to be a very smart person, why is he so stupid on this matter?
Gu Jingyan opened the curtain of her carriage, looked at her frowning in thought, lowered her head and smiled, then got into the carriage and sat next to her.
"Ah Yue is still worried about what happened just now?"
Yu Shuyue came back to her senses and looked at her, her eyes suddenly lit up, her brows stretched, she stared at her with bright eyes and asked expectantly: "Jingyan was also in the same room as Ruoxi and her brother just now.
I'm on a boat, do you know what happened just now?"
"I think Miss Liu is probably jealous."
"Jealous?"
Seeing the confusion on her face, Gu Jingyan recounted everything that happened on the boat just now.
After hearing this, Yu Shuyue suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's it."
"Ah Yue can rest assured to tell Miss Liu that Jingyan already has someone she likes and will not be involved with General Yu. Everything she did just now was just for her brother." This chapter has been completed!
