Chapter 31 Is it cute?

Rong Jianxue was slightly stunned and was unable to react.

The Pixiu's butt was sticking up, its head was very big, and it seemed to have cross-eyed eyes.

Rong Jianxue: “…”

Pei Jingxu looked at Rong Jianxue with sparkling eyes, a gentle and innocent smile on her lips: "Sir, does it look good?"

Rong Jianxue: “…”

The man didn't say anything. He pursed his lips slightly, frowned slightly, and his eyes were full of... complicated emotions.

Seeing Rong Jianxue didn't say anything, Pei Jingxu continued to smile. She wrinkled her nose and said to herself, "Humph! When I just came back, Hongyao saw this pen holder and insisted that it was ugly!"

As if he was very unconvinced, Pei Jingxu looked at Rong Jianxue earnestly: "Sir, do you think it's cute?"

Rong Jianxue's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and his gaze slowly moved from the Pixiu to the woman's face, which was earnestly seeking knowledge.

Rong Jianxue: "...Look closely, it's... quite cute."

Pei Jingxu jumped for joy, his eyes curved, "I knew you would like it! I'll tell Hongyao when I get home!"

As he spoke, Pei Jingxu placed the pen holder on Rong Jianxue's desk and adjusted its position seriously.

Rong Jianxue was puzzled: "Why did you leave it here with me?"

Pei Jingxu was stunned, as if he didn't quite understand why Rong Jianxue asked this.

"Because Ah Xu bought this to store his brushes. Ah Xu only uses brushes with adults, so I thought it would be more convenient to put it here."

Rong Jianxue didn't react for a moment.

Pei Jingxu seemed to understand. She let out a soft "ah", her ears turned red, and she hurriedly took back the pen holder and held it in her palm again.

She lowered her head and said timidly, "Sir, do you think this thing doesn't fit in here? I've taken a closer look, and this little Pixiu doesn't seem very cute..."

Pei Jingxu said, somewhat awkwardly packing up the book: "Ah Xu, put it in the west courtyard. It's really not good to leave this kind of thing on the adults' desk."

In fact, she is not always timid, nor does she always cry. If you spend more time with her and she feels a little safe, she will crawl out from under the table like a kitten that trusts others, and excitedly show others the "treasures" she has "hunted".

But now, she seemed to have just been abandoned and crawled back under the table where she thought she was safe.

Be careful and cautious.

Rong Jianxue was slightly stunned.

Seeing her stand up to leave, he finally reacted and gently grabbed her sleeve.

The sleeves of the chiffon dress felt like flowing water in her hands. After just a moment, Rong Jianxue subconsciously let go.

"That's not what I meant," Rong Jianxue said hoarsely, explaining quickly, "I was just... admiring it, and I didn't come back to my senses."

Pei Jingxu turned around and looked down at the man in front of the desk.

Rong Jianxue looked up at her and said seriously, "Of course you can put it here. I'm not lying, it's cute and won't be out of place."

Pei Jingxu's eyes seemed to be filled with mist. She looked at Rong Jianxue with disbelief: "My Lord, do you really think Da Huang is cute?"

Rong Jianxue frowned slightly: "Da Huang?"

"That's the name I gave this Pixiu."

Hearing this, Rong Jianxue chuckled and nodded: "Yes, Da Huang is very cute."

After receiving the man's affirmative answer, Pei Jingxu smiled.

She took out the "rhubarb" from her palm and placed it on Rong Jianxue's desk with great care.

"Then I'll entrust Da Huang to your desk!"

Rong Jianxue nodded obediently: "Okay."

After leaving the East Courtyard, Pei Jingxu's originally joyful smile disappeared, replaced by a smile of triumph.

——Who said the gift must be given to Rong Jianxue?

As long as she can appear in his living space, so that he can see it every day and think of her when he sees the "gift", then her purpose will be achieved.

In the next few days, Pei Jingxu remained unmoved and went to the East Courtyard to find Rong Jianxue every day.

Pei Jingxu naturally knew the contents of the account book, but in front of Rong Jianxue, she still had to be careful not to act too smart or too stupid, so as not to disgust Rong Jianxue and to maximize the time they spent together.

Because the course was progressing smoothly, Rong Jianxue adhered to the concept of combining work and rest and allowed her to rest for half a day every two days.

On the night before Qixi Festival, Rong Jianxue finished his lecture and said to Pei Jingxu, "You can take a day off tomorrow."

Pei Jingxu was stunned for a moment, pretending to be confused: "My lord, is there something wrong?"

Rong Jianxue nodded: "Tomorrow is the Qixi Lantern Festival, and the government needs me to ensure the safety of the people."

"Is tomorrow the Chinese Valentine's Day?" Pei Jingxu's beautiful eyes widened slightly.

Seeing Rong Jianxue nod, Pei Jingxu twitched the corners of her mouth and revealed a somewhat lonely smile: "Then I will also go to release a river lantern tomorrow."

After Rong Xuanzhou's "death", Pei Jingxu would light a lantern by the river on the Chinese Valentine's Day to express his deepest feelings, and all his thoughts and thoughts were written to Rong Xuanzhou.

"Well," Rong Jianxue said calmly, without any emotion, "There will be a lot of people on Qixi Festival, so please be careful."

"Okay, adults too, be safe."

Rong Jianxue responded, but he didn't look at her again. He lowered his head, tidied his books, and stood up to leave.

Pei Jingxu looked at the man's back as he left, tilted his head slightly, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

No, it's not enough, it's far from enough.

--

It was not difficult for Pei Jingxu to make a dress out of a piece of cloth.

It didn't take her long to finish the clothes.

On the evening of Qixi Festival, Pei Jingxu put on new clothes. Hongyao looked at her in amazement and said, "Girl, this dress really suits you."

She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "You stay in the west courtyard tonight. If there is anything, report to me immediately."

"Yes, girl."

Rong Jianxue left home much earlier than her. Seeing that it was almost time, Pei Jingxu left the house alone.

Chang'an Avenue was already bustling with traffic and crowds of people.

As the lights come on, vendors selling lanterns and silk threads are everywhere.

If he remembered correctly, Pei Jingxu remembered that when the "Vega" was performing the dance, Rong Jianxue was inspecting the high platform.

In his previous life, Pei Jingxu was framed by Chen Congyue. When Chen Congyue fell from the high platform, Rong Jianxue and Jiang Hui were both present.

It was he who ordered Jiang Hui to catch Shen Congyue who fell from the platform, so that he would not get hurt.

It was also because Rong Jianxue saw it with her own eyes, so even though Pei Jingxu kept defending herself that she did not push Chen Congyue, no one believed her.

——Master Young Master saw it with his own eyes, how could it be fake!

At that time, Rong Jianxue had nothing to do with her. Now, Pei Jingxu wanted to see what he would do if the same thing happened again.

This year's "Weaving Girl" competition is a competition of needle threading.

It was still early for the competition to start, so Pei Jingxu was not in a hurry and strolled around the long street.

In her previous life, she did not participate in the competition, but just came to the river to release a lantern to express her longing. She happened to see Shen Congyue being elected as the "Weaving Girl" and performing a dance on the stage.

Shen Congyue saw her in the crowd and appointed her to be her "backup dancer".

This time she came earlier, so she could look around.

"Hey? Second Madam, are you here for the Lantern Festival too?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Pei Jingxu turned around and saw Jiang Hui with a sword at his waist, smiling and waving at her.

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Pei Jingxu looked back: Rong Jianxue was right behind Jiang Hui, looking towards her.
