Upon transmigrating in one morning, Rong Qingqing actually became the cannon fodder stepmother of the villain in a爽文 (satisfying novel). As a widow, destined for burial with the corpse, and origina...
Shangguan Yanran looked at the exquisite little building not far away, with the three characters "Qing Si Lou" clearly written on the plaque above it.
As someone who reads storybooks all day long, I've naturally heard of the place called Qing Si Lou and know what kind of place it is.
However, what surprised her the most was that Fu Rongchen knew about this place and even brought her here.
For a moment, Fu Rongchen overturned her perception of him. The old-fashioned, bookish man she had always thought of actually knew about such a place.
She was quite surprised by Fu Rongchen, which even overshadowed her curiosity about Qing Si Lou.
"Why did you bring me here? No, how do you know about this place?" She looked away and turned to look at the man beside her.
Fu Rongchen glanced at her and said succinctly, "I found out by accident."
Shangguan Yanran didn't believe it; for the first time, she discovered that Fu Rongchen was cold on the outside but passionate on the inside.
Even a place like Qing Si Lou knows that it's not as pedantic as she thought.
"You've been inside?" she asked in a low voice, suppressing her excitement.
Fu Rongchen didn't answer, but pointed to the tea stall next to him and said, "Let's sit over there for a while."
Shangguan Yanran had some doubts about why he was drinking tea at the entrance of Qing Si Lou, but seeing that he had already entered the tea stall, she had no choice but to follow him.
Fu Rongchen ordered a pot of tea, glanced at Shangguan Yanran, and then asked the shopkeeper for some melon seeds and snacks.
Shangguan Yanran sat down at the table, drinking tea and eating melon seeds while keeping her eyes fixed on the entrance of Qing Si Lou.
It was already night, so the area outside Qing Si Lou was still quite lively. Groups of richly dressed young men kept entering Qing Si Lou, clearly there to seek pleasure.
After watching for a while, she got a little bored and turned to look at the man opposite her. "Why did you bring me here?"
Fu Rongchen was peeling sunflower seeds with his head down, and the glistening white kernels fell into the dish.
Shangguan Yanran was taken aback. When did this guy peel so many sunflower seeds?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, Fu Rongchen pushed the plate in front of her.
"Give me food?" Shangguan Yanran looked at him, flattered.
"Is there a third person here?" Fu Rongchen asked in return.
Shangguan Yanran shook her head, "No, but aren't you going to eat it yourself?"
"I won't eat them," Fu Rongchen said calmly. He never ate snacks; in his opinion, only girls liked to eat such things. Seeing that Shangguan Yanran was enjoying hers, he casually peeled all the sunflower seeds for her.
Shangguan Yanran stared at the melon seeds in the dish, swallowed hard, and said, "Then I won't be polite." With that, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in her mouth.
She had never tried eating so many sunflower seeds together before.
However, it was really fun.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard Fu Rongchen say, "Here you are."
"Who's here?" Shangguan Yanran was extremely confused. Following his gaze, she saw a young man dressed in brocade robes walking slowly towards Qing Si Lou not far away.
The man was very young, probably eighteen or nineteen years old, with delicate features. He was holding a folding fan and looked quite dashing.
“He is Young Master Wang,” Fu Rongchen said.
"What?" Shangguan Yanran stood up. "He's Young Master Wang?"
"Hmm." Fu Rongchen glanced at her indifferently.
"What is he doing here?" Shangguan Yanran asked, then suddenly remembered what he had said earlier about Young Master Wang's homosexual tendencies.
Just as he was thinking this, two heavily made-up men walked out of the Qing Si Lou building. When they saw Young Master Wang, they immediately beamed with joy.
