Jiang Shaoyi chose a very good location.

Dou Shiliu watched as the lotus leaves in the lake peeked out from the water, the dewdrops round and transparent like jade beads.

"Get on the ship, You Ran."

Jiang Shaoyi reached out to take her hand, but Dou Shiliu, without giving him any face, turned away and went up to him herself.

He also said, "Why are you holding onto something when you're getting on the boat?"

Jiang Shaoyi: "...", she really is different from other rich young ladies.

Dou Shiliu sat down at the bow of the boat, and Jiang Shaoyi rowed.

He lowered his eyes and looked into the somewhat muddy lake.

Jiang Shaoyi

"Um?"

"I saw a snake."

There are indeed some of these things in the lake.

"..."

But why isn't this woman's focus on the lotus flowers?

Dou Shiliu sat at the bow of the boat, a gentle breeze blowing her bangs away to reveal her fair face.

This place can calm her down.

Jiang Shaoyi rowed to the middle of the lake.

Surrounded by lotus flowers, it's a beautiful scene.

"You Ran"

Dou Shiliu turned her gaze and was met with the tenderness in Jiang Shaoyi's eyes. The light, as clear as sake, gently touched the depths of Dou Shiliu's heart.

She lowered her head slightly and looked away.

"You Ran... can you give me a chance?"

Jiang Shaoyi looked at her with gentle eyes, his voice so tender.

"impossible"

His response was still a cold, icy rejection.

"Why?"

There's no reason why.

Dou Shiliu squatted by the boat, reaching out to pluck the tender petals of the lotus flower, his eyes lost in thought.

"Because you have someone in your heart, right?"

Jiang Shaoyi's bitter voice reached Dou Shiliu's ears, and she responded lightly, "Mm."

She only came because of him.

Jiang Shaoyi was just a passerby.

There are plenty of people who are attracted to her, does she have to stop and respond to each and every one of them?

Jiang Shaoyi smiled. "Really?"

He took a deep breath and said, "I want to marry you, I really, really want to."

Dou Shiliu expressionlessly plucked a lotus flower, pinched a petal with his fingers, and put it in his mouth.

Bai Tuan: "..."

Why does the host eat lotus flowers...?

Jiang Shaoyi was also a bit confused; he now seriously doubted his charm.

Isn't he handsome?

Those women were clearly like wolves and tigers when they saw him, so why were they so calm when they saw Dou Shiliu?

It has a slightly bitter taste on the tip of the tongue, and a faint bitterness on the taste buds.

This flower doesn't taste good.

Dou Shiliu stood up and turned to look at Jiang Shaoyi. "You want to marry me?"

"Um…"

"Go back and cover yourself with the blankets, and have sweet dreams."

Dou Shiliu smiled, looked up into the distance, and said softly, "Shall I buy you a drink?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Jiang Shaoyi.

The white ball suddenly realized what it was.

…

After returning from Wenhu, Manluo told Dou Shiliu at home that Jiang Shaoyi and Xiao Yin had gotten married.

Dou Shiliu smiled faintly, offered his blessing, and then remained silent.

Qiao Changqing was very puzzled. That day, he saw Jiang Shaoyi in the barracks, looking refreshed and energetic.

"adjutant"

Jiang Shaoyi raised his almond-shaped eyes and smiled, "Here."

"Come here."

"yes"

The two entered the house.

"Are you really having an affair with the young lady from the Xiao family?"

Jiang Shaoyi looked at him strangely: "She's the wife I married, what's this about 'really' or 'not really'?"

Qiao Changqing looked at Jiang Shaoyi, who had just started having sex, with complicated feelings. Is it really that easy for men to change their minds?

…

You Ran died later.

How did he die?

have no idea

For some reason, when Jiang Shaoyi heard the news, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.

Xiao Yin paused slightly in holding the child, then quickly handed the baby to the wet nurse and anxiously asked him what was wrong.
