"Hey kid, are you blind?"
Xiaoya held her head and glanced at her young mistress with a resentful look, "Miss, you were the one who pushed me and made me bump into someone, so why are you blaming them?"
Uh... is that how it is?!
Yan Qingxue racked her brains, it seemed, it looked like... cough, that's probably it!
Qiao Zhishu winced in pain from the impact. When she came to her senses, her gaze fell on Yan Qingxue in front of her. She paused for a moment, then quickly apologized with a look of regret, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for disturbing you two ladies. I... I was just too engrossed in looking at this castle and didn't mean to offend you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingxue immediately accepted the offer and said, "Fine, fine, since you also like this castle very much, I won't hold it against you."
"Isn't this castle amazing?" Yan Qingxue said with a friendly grin.
Qiao Zhishu nodded, seemingly sighing, "It's shocking, unbelievable. I used to live here before, and I never imagined it would change like this in such a short time. Seeing this breathtaking scene, I wonder if I'm dreaming. I don't know if I was dreaming before or if I'm still in a dream now."
Yan Qingxue's eyes widened in surprise. "Eh? You used to live here? Is this your home?"
Qiao Zhishu shook her head. "No, I'm just staying at my aunt's house. Her shop is located in Linghe Town."
"Really? That's great! I heard that the businesses that moved away before can come back later. So your aunt's family will be coming back, right?"
Qiao Zhishu nodded, "Yes, my aunt's family is still planning to move back."
Yan Qingxue tilted her head and asked, "What about you? Are you still going to stay at your aunt's house?"
Qiao Zhishu nodded somewhat awkwardly, "My home was destroyed by the flash flood, and I have nowhere to go, so I can only continue to stay at my aunt's house temporarily."
Yan Qingxue's eyes lit up, and she slapped Xiaoya on the shoulder. "Hey, it's you! Um... if I may ask, are you married?"
Qiao Zhishu shook her head in a daze.
Yan Qingxue grinned and continued to press for answers.
"Do you have a fiancée?"
Qiao Zhishu continued to shake her head: "???"
"Is there anyone who would like that?"
Qiao Zhishu shook her head, her face completely bewildered. "...???" What exactly does this girl mean?
Yan Qingxue smiled brightly, her gaze like that of a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit. She stared at Qiao Zhishu, looked her up and down, raised an eyebrow, and seemed to have made some important decision.
"Then you're the one!"
Qiao Zhishu stared blankly at Yan Qingxue, her gaze, which had initially been too shy to meet Yan Qingxue's eyes, now revealing confusion and bewilderment. "Miss, what do you mean by that?"
Yan Qingxue pointed to her nose and said, word by word, in a firm and deliberate manner.
"I, Yan Qingxue, am going to marry Yu Wuwu—" Before she could finish speaking, Xiaoya interrupted her, covering Yan Qingxue's mouth and giving Qiao Zhishu an embarrassed smile, pointing at Yan Qingxue's head.
"Heh...hehe, um...excuse me, our young lady, her thing is a little small, not very good, not quite normal, please don't mind, sir."
As she spoke, Xiaoya prepared to drag her away, but Yan Qingxue grabbed her hand and pulled her away, saying, "Young master, I want to marry you, please marry me!"
Thunder rumbled—
Yan Qingxue's words exploded in Qiao Zhishu's ears like thunder. What...?
If he wasn't sure there was nothing wrong with his ears, he would have seriously doubted that he had misheard.
He had never seen such a free-spirited and passionate girl.
She declared she wanted to marry him after just one meeting and a few words exchanged.
He already felt like he was in a dream as he stood there, and now he felt even more like he was dreaming.
Yes, he was dreaming.
Qiao Zhishu patted her face, feeling as if she were in a dream.
I actually had such a shameful dream; I dreamt about a girl.
The girl even said those kinds of things to him.
Xiao Ya glanced at Qiao Zhishu's bewildered face and, seeing that he seemed confused and unresponsive, quickly grabbed Yan Qingxue and ran away.
Qiao Zhishu felt it was all too real when a girl suddenly said she wanted to marry him, until he felt a pat on the shoulder.
Qiao Zhishu turned her head and saw An Yi.
"Cousin Zhishu? Do you know those two girls who were talking to you just now?" An Yi glanced at the two people who had already run far away and asked casually.
Qiao Zhishu shook her head blankly.
I don't know him!
It was just a dream; how could I possibly know the people in my dream?
"My little sister isn't going anywhere. Let's go back when she comes back, otherwise we'll be walking all night by the time we get back to Hongcheng."
go back?
Qiao Zhishu was stunned for a moment, then realized!
He doesn't seem to be... dreaming!
My little cousin brought everyone to Jincheng to see the castle!
So, those two girls we just met weren't dreaming!
Suddenly, Qiao Zhishu's head exploded.
He was proposed to by a girl in the street?!
Just as An Yi was speaking, An Ning pulled Qiao Zhiqin over, looking excited. "I'm telling you, we're not going back today. My little sister just said we can stay here for a couple of days and find an inn to stay at. We can play here until dark."
I heard that after dark, all the lampposts around the castle light up, displaying a dazzling array of colors—it's so beautiful!
We can stay and enjoy the view to our hearts' content.
That night.
After having their fill of fun at the castle, Anle and her group went to a nearby inn to stay. As soon as they entered the inn, they saw a long line of people waiting to book rooms at the front desk.
Because of the castle, the nearby inns have become very popular, and many visitors stay overnight.
Upon entering the inn, Qiao Zhishu, still somewhat dazed, was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.
"Oh, what a coincidence! We've met again! This must be fate. Marry me!" Yan Qingxue, holding the room key, turned around and saw Qiao Zhishu walking in. She excitedly ran up to greet him.
Qiao Zhishu looked up and froze!
Not only was Qiao Zhishu stunned, but An Le and the others around her were also stunned, staring blankly at the scene of this girl who suddenly appeared and proposed to Qiao Zhishu, somewhat at a loss for words.
Anle blinked. "Huh?"
What happened?
What's the current situation?
Did she miss something?
Qiao Zhishu was completely startled, her dazed state turning into one of utter astonishment. She involuntarily took a few steps back, stammering, "Aunt, Miss, I...I'm not acquainted with you!"
After stammering out this sentence, Qiao Zhishu was about to flee in panic.
"Hey, hey... don't go! If you leave, who will marry me? I'm going to marry into Jincheng, and I'll marry you!" Yan Qingxue shouted as she chased after her.
