Chapter 113 Pleasing
Looking at Xie Jingyu's ever-changing expression, Shen Wan's heart was pounding. She didn't know how she had angered him again. His expression changed so quickly, he was really moody.
With an ugly expression and no words, Shen Wan said cautiously, “It’s easy to do, right?”
Xie Jingyu laughed in anger. He had never wanted to strangle someone so much before. "Didn't the wishing lantern already tell you that it can't come true?"
Shen Wan, “…”
Even if the wishing lantern didn't answer her wish, she could still hold on to a glimmer of hope, after all, most wishes don't come true. But when Xie Jingyu said it couldn't be fulfilled, there was no hope at all.
Xie Jingyu threw down this sentence, turned around and left.
Looking at his leaving figure, Shen Wan decisively walked to the other side.
Shanhu and Chen Ping stood there, you looking at my master and I looking at your master.
coral,"……???"
Chen Ping, “…???”
The two of them really couldn't figure out the current situation.
Especially when watching the men and women releasing sky lanterns nearby, they seemed to be having more and more fun as the number of releases increased, but when it came to their master, they broke up as soon as one sky lantern was released.
Xie Jingyu turned around and walked away, fearing that he would be so angry that he couldn't help but strangle Shen Wan's neck. He made up his mind that as long as Shen Wan caught up with him, even if she coaxed him a few words, he would let it go. But in the end, not only did she not catch up with him, she also walked in the opposite direction of him.
This guy has never been so angry in his life.
"come over!"
There was suppressed anger in his voice, Shen Wan heard it, but pretended not to hear it and walked faster.
But she pretended not to hear it, and her maid added, "Miss, the Prince of Jingbei is calling you."
Who does this maid belong to? She has ears and can hear it.
Chen Wan didn't dare to provoke Xie Jingyu. Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move forward. She gritted her teeth and turned back, only to see Xie Jingyu standing there waiting for her, his face looking so ugly as if she owed him money.
It seems... I do owe someone money...
This bastard has 20,000 taels of silver in her hands.
Shen Wan walked back with her head held high. Xie Jingyu's expression improved a little, but only a little, because Shen Wan's expression made people think that she was walking towards him, while those who didn't know would think that she was going to the execution ground.
Is she so afraid of him?
Because she recognized the wrong cousin, she had just avoided him before, but now she not only avoided him, but also avoided him like crazy, and even wanted to kill him before.
His intuition told him that something special must be happening between them.
But he really knew nothing.
Shen Wan moved in front of Xie Jingyu. Xie Jingyu did not ask, but stretched out his hand.
Shen Wan, “…”
What the hell is wrong with this guy?
Wouldn’t it be better if we each went our own way?
He insisted that she follow him, and not only did he follow her, he also wanted her to hold hands.
What’s even more infuriating is that I’m still angry deep down, but my hand has already been extended.
Although we held hands before, there was a huge difference between him holding his hand forcefully and me taking the initiative to hold his hand.
Shen Wan's hand was very soft, and almost as soon as it was handed over, a certain gentleman's expression softened. He really had no temper at all towards her.
Shen Wan also noticed that his complexion had improved a lot, and an inexplicable feeling flashed through his heart, and he followed his footsteps and walked forward.
She just didn't understand. It was a rare Lantern Festival in Kyoto, so why did he waste his time on her? With him around, she was so focused on thinking about and guarding against him that she couldn't even enjoy herself visiting the lantern festival.
But when she thought about the fact that she would have fallen into the river if it weren't for Xie Jingyu, Shen Wan felt that she shouldn't have done that. Since someone saved her, it was only right for her to accompany him to the Lantern Festival.
After figuring it out, I felt much more relaxed and was no longer as tense when interacting with Xie Jingyu.
Once the tension was relaxed, things started to go out of control. She was hungry after shopping, so she bought some cakes and ate them herself. She also took a piece and asked Xie Jingyu, "Do you want to eat it?"
She offered him some pastry, but Xie Jingyu didn't take it. Instead, he took a bite from her hand.
Shen Wan’s face flushed.
She was giving him food to eat, not feeding him.
Some people passing by pointed and talked when they saw this. The half of the cake left in Shen Wan's hand was hot. Finally, he asked for courage from heaven and stuffed it directly into Xie Jingyu's mouth and walked forward quickly.
She was walking with her head covered and didn't notice someone coming in front of her. If Xie Jingyu hadn't caught her in time, she would have bumped into him.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Shen Wan didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heart was beating wildly. They had clearly had more intimate actions before, but none of them gave her the same shock as the feeling of feeding her the cakes just now. She was suddenly at a loss.
It was very lively up ahead, with a bunch of people rushing over there. Shanhu said, "They're scrambling for lanterns up ahead. Do you want to go and take a look, young lady?"
Of course you have to go. When you go out to see the lanterns, you should go to the most lively place.
Shen Wan started to walk over there, but after taking two steps, he thought of Xie Jingyu, turned back, grabbed his hand, and walked forward.
Chen Wan was afraid of him. This guy liked to be held by the hand, so she had to go along with him. Otherwise, if she walked away for a while and was called back, it would be so embarrassing.
This is what Chen Wan thought, but a certain gentleman was pleased. When he got to the front, Chen Wan fell in love with the lanterns on the high platform at first sight.
It's a pity that her eldest brother is not here, otherwise she would have asked her eldest brother to grab it and give it to her. Thinking of this, Shen Wan saw her eldest brother wearing a mask, but she recognized him at a glance.
There was another girl beside him who was also wearing a mask. No doubt it was Princess Jiangling.
Shen Wan, “…”
have to.
Even if my eldest brother gets it, he will give it to Princess Jiangling.
She didn't dare argue with her future sister-in-law.
With big brother's martial arts skills, as long as Xie Jingyu doesn't go up to grab it, the lantern will definitely be big brother's.
As he was thinking this, he heard Xie Jingyu say, "Like it?"
Shen Wan didn't think much about it, "Such beautiful lanterns, there should be no one who doesn't like them, right?"
As soon as the voice fell, the gongs and drums sounded, and those who wanted to grab the lanterns all went up to the rack. As expected, the eldest brother went to grab it, but what Shen Wan didn't expect was that Xie Jingyu also went up.
Shen Wan, “……!!!”
Her elder brother wanted to grab the lantern to please Princess Jiangling, but he went up there anyway. Shen Wan wished she could drag Xie Jingyu back.
But she was really curious about who was better at martial arts, her elder brother or Xie Jingyu.
Many people rushed to grab the lanterns, and many fell down. Finally, Xie Jingyu and Shen Li started fighting. The two of them enjoyed the fight, and the people watching below also enjoyed it.
Chen Wan felt that his elder brother and Xie Jingyu's martial arts skills should be on par, but if you add in some scheming...
Forget it, when it comes to scheming, she and her elder brother combined can't compare to Xie Jingyu.
In their previous lives, the brothers and sisters died miserably, one more than the other, but they have reached that position, so what can they compare with?
Shen Wan watched intently, the high platform was almost broken apart by the two men. When the bamboo frame fell, Shen Wan looked over there and saw a familiar face in the crowd.
Afraid of recognizing the wrong person, she wanted to see more clearly. At this time, the shelf fell down again. Shen Wan dodged backwards. When she looked again, the person was gone.
Shen Wan didn't have time to watch Shen Li and Xie Jingyu fighting, she hurried to find someone.
Xie Jingyu and Shen Li reached the highest point at the same time. They tried to grab the lantern but no one touched it after several rounds.
The two of them finally stood in a stalemate in front of the lantern. Xie Jingyu took the time to look down and saw Chen Wan pushing through the crowd to chase another man. His face instantly turned dark.
