Chapter 316 No, I'll Climb the Wall

There are two ways to go up the mountain. Li Yan rolled up the poem on the table and went towards the other way.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. When he chased to the foot of the mountain, he only saw a carriage going away.

Half an hour later, Li Yan returned to Zuixianju dejectedly, with messy hair and a bit embarrassed.

Seeing this, Gu Lan frowned and asked, "Didn't you go up the mountain to bury the wine? How did you end up like this? Were you chased by a dog? Uh... you didn't even bring back the backpack and hoe."

After hearing Gu Lan's words, Li Yan realized that he had left all his things in the pavilion and even the wine was not buried.

He went up the mountain to bury the wine today so that he and Wen Shuyan could dig it out and drink it together when they met at Half Moon Mountain.

Unexpectedly, they still missed it.

Seeing Li Yan holding a roll of paper, Gu Lan's eyes moved slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Did you miss it again?"

Li Yan hummed in a low voice, then walked into the house with his head hung.

Gu Lan followed him and muttered, "You asked for it. She was right here that day, but you were so indifferent to her and flirted with other girls."

"I didn't flirt with anyone else!" Li Yan stopped and turned back to retort.

"Why are you blushing when that girl flirts with you?"

"I…I thought she was her."

Gu Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's going on?"

"There is a totem embroidered on the sachet that Miss Qiao wears. That is the totem on my seal."

Other people would have their own name engraved on their seals, but not him. Instead, he engraved an abstract totem.

Apart from Gu Lan and his friends, only his pen pals in Banyue Mountain knew about that totem.

He knew that the pen pal was Wen Shuyan because Wen Shuyan would always write her small handwriting on his works.

"So you think she is Miss Wen?"

Li Yan nodded. "Later, when I heard Miss Jiang call her Sister Qiao, I realized that I might have recognized the wrong person."

"Then why did you give Miss Qiao two jars of wine in the end?"

"I wanted to give her some wine." Li Yan explained, "It wouldn't be nice to give her just one, so I gave them all. As for Yaoguang getting drunk, it was because she would get sick if she didn't drink any more."

After listening to Li Yan's explanation, Gu Lan asked curiously, "You are not attracted to Miss Qiao at all."

"No."

"All right."

Gu Lan turned and walked out, thinking to himself, the flower has feelings but the water is heartless, there is one more sad person in this world.

Oh no, maybe more than one.

"Where are you going?"

"Looking for Ziyue."

"I advise you not to get in the way."

Gu Lan paused. Yes, Ziyue is not at home now.

Jiang Yueyang stood in the courtyard, eating grapes one by one. The neighbors had been moving things around all afternoon, and now things were finally quiet.

【Xiaogua, who is the new neighbor? 】

The system said: [You are asking now, I thought the host didn’t want to know. ]

[Life needs fun. It would be boring if you knew everything in advance.]

【Why are you still asking? 】

After Jiang Yueyang finished eating the last grape, she handed the empty plate in her hand to Qingzhi who was standing beside her.

Because I have a doubt now.

What doubt?

Jiang Yueyang looked at the next door and replied: [When I left the palace, Ah Yue said he would meet me, but he hasn't come to see me yet. ]

[Do you suspect your new neighbor is your partner? ]

Jiang Yueyang nodded, [Am I right to doubt? ]

【Let him tell you. 】

As soon as the system's voice fell, a clean yet gentle voice came from next door.

"Yangyang."

Jiang Yueyang walked to the wall in surprise when she heard the voice, "Ayue."

"Something happened in the army today that delayed me."

Jiang Yueyang shook her head subconsciously, "It doesn't matter, why did you move next door?"

"It's closer to you here."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang bit her lower lip happily, "Ayue, can I come over?"

Lu Yunting, who was leaning against the wall, was slightly stunned. After a moment, a smiling voice came, "Do you want to come over?"

"Um!"

"I'll pick you up at the door." Lu Yunting said as he was about to turn around.

"No, I'll climb the wall."

Hearing this, Lu Yunting paused, then burst into laughter.

Jiang Yueyang said let's climb the wall, so she hugged Qingzhi's neck and raised her eyebrows to signal her to lead her to climb the wall.

A fleeting look of speechlessness flashed across Qingzhi's face, and then he hugged Jiang Yueyang's waist and jumped up, stepping on the top of the wall.

Seeing Lu Yunting standing below, Jiang Yueyang waved and was about to call his name.

But at this moment, an angry shout came from behind them.

"Jiang Yueyang!"

Jiang Yueyang was so frightened that her whole body trembled and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Qingzhi, who was standing beside her, supported her in time.

Mrs. Jiang walked over angrily, her fingers trembling as she pointed at Jiang Yueyang.

"Get down here!"

Jiang Yueyang felt that it would be better for her not to go down now, because her mother had just called her by her full name.

So, she rolled her eyes and pretended to slip and fall towards Lu Yunting below.

Unexpectedly, Qingzhi instinctively hugged her and flew down the wall, landing safely in the courtyard.

Um...her garden.

Mrs. Jiang was startled just now. Seeing that she was safe and sound, she looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Come here."

"Mom, the distance between us and the output is beautiful. It's good like this now." Jiang Yueyang took two steps back.

"If you don't come over, I'll play the piano for you every day! Also, I've recently developed a new soup, would you like to try it?"

"No need! I'll be right there."

【Host, go over there quickly. 】
