Xu Lan climbed half of her body out of the window and was dragged out by Zhao Wu. He then closed the small window and took her over the wall.
At this time, another small window also opened a crack, revealing half of the face.
Seeing them jump over the wall, Xu Qingyan also went out of the small window and jumped over the wall.
Following Xu Lanyin's scent, Xu Qingyan turned around the wall and saw Zhao Wu leading Xu Lanyin to the roof of a two-story shop. There happened to be a large tree there, with lush branches and leaves that reached the roof. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell there were two people sitting there.
Xu Qingyan shook his head and laughed. Even if they were siblings, it was impossible for them to feel so separated after just one day apart that they would go to the rooftop to whisper in the middle of the night. Humph, one person said he was his "brother," and the other said she was his "sister." Both of them were just being stubborn.
He sincerely hoped that Zhao Wuneng would be his son-in-law. He would not do anything else while sitting on the roof. If they wanted to talk in private, then they could do it. He turned and went back to the inn.
There's no moon tonight, but the sky is filled with bright stars. The rustling of leaves echoes in my ears, and occasionally a leaf brushes my cheek.
Zhao Wudao, "Sister, can't you go to the provincial capital earlier? Why do you have to wait until the end of the month?"
Xu Lanyin said, "We're already making the most of the time by going to the provincial capital at the end of the month. My dad hasn't been home for so many years, so he must spend more time with my grandpa and grandma, and also get together with relatives and friends." She then comforted him, "After our family moves to the provincial capital, we'll have more time together."
Zhao Wu said again, "I haven't seen my sister for so long, I miss her so much, what should I do?" Thinking that he wouldn't be able to see Xu Lanyin for at least twenty days, he felt very uncomfortable. He took Xu Lanyin's little hand with his hanging hand and squeezed it.
She even acted like a spoiled brat.
Xu Lanyin laughed and said positively, "Then you should read more books and focus your energy on them."
Zhao Wu said, "I don't want to read books, I just want to see my sister."
He turned to look at Xu Lanyin. Under the clear sunlight, the girl beside him had beautiful eyes, as elegant as a chrysanthemum, as proud as a plum, as graceful and extraordinary as a lotus... No, she was more beautiful than any flower in the world. His heart suddenly began to beat, like countless small fireballs jumping around, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Xu Lanyin saw him staring at her blankly with a strange expression on his face. Since they happened to be holding hands, she listened to his inner thoughts. His inner thoughts were like a loud drum beating on Xu Lanyin's eardrums, making her quickly withdraw her thoughts.
Zhao Wu saw Xu Lanyin's special look again. Thinking that she could see through people's minds, he was frightened and woke up. He quickly let go of her hand and moved his butt to the side. The two of them separated by a little distance, but his eyes never left Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanyin laughed and said, "What's with that look? Are you being infatuated?"
Zhao Wu lowered his eyelids in embarrassment. After calming down, he asked, "Have you finished reading those two books?"
"I've finished reading it."
"Does it look good?"
"nice."
"Did you bring it? Show it to me tomorrow."
"No. You are still young and should read more useful books."
Zhao Wu said unconvincedly, "I'm younger? I know more about certain things than my sister."
Xu Lanyin glanced sideways at Zhao Wu. Although the boy was tall and big, his face still had a hint of immaturity. She said, "You're not even seventeen yet. Don't read books like that."
There are some explicit descriptions in "Wu Er Niang" and it should not be shown to teenagers of this age.
Zhao Wu secretly laughed. It seemed that something in the book made his sister shy. He grinned and thought, when I get to Ningzhou Prefecture, I will go to the study to buy it and read it.
Seeing that he was avoiding her gaze and thinking of something bad, Xu Lanyin moved closer to him, wanting to hear what he was thinking.
Xu Lan kept her eyelids drooped, fearing Zhao Wu would see her expression. But the curve of her lips still made Zhao Wu see something, thinking she was trying to read people's minds, and he moved aside in fear.
Xu Lanyin rolled her eyes at him in anger. Little brat, you're worried. Could it be that he's fallen for some girl in the capital and has finally become smart?
She joked, "How about, when I return to Ningzhou Prefecture, I'll ask a matchmaker to find you a wife?"
Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "Sister is older than me, and when it comes to marriage, you are ahead of me."
Xu Lanyin sighed softly and said quietly, "Sister, I don't want to get married, especially since I see a man like my father can have other women. He and my mother were once so loving, but that love can't withstand the reality and helplessness. I'm afraid that the man I marry is even less worthy of trust. It would be better for me to live alone."
When this matter was mentioned, Xu Lanyin's mood became depressed again, and she stared at the sky in a daze with her hands supporting her chin.
Zhao Wu didn't know how to comfort her, or how to express that there are still men in this world who are worthy of trust, like him.
The two of them spent more time in silence than in conversation. At four o'clock in the morning, Zhao Wucai brought her down. However, this time, Zhao Wucai's emotions were obviously different when he held Xu Lanyin. His heart was beating fast, his face was hot, and he felt that the hug was too short. How could he hold her tender jade in his arms before she fell to the ground.
After getting off the ground, he held her hand tighter. They ran to the inn's wall, holding her and jumping up and down the wall. Then they walked to the window, opened the small window, and with Zhao Wu's help, Xu Lanyin climbed in with her upper body, holding on to the table she had placed under the window beforehand, and then slid her lower body back in.
Zhao Wu, on the other hand, stood by the window, staring blankly at his own hands. He had just been holding his sister's thing. Then he thought about the little waist he held, the hair touching his face, the soft breasts against his side, the faint fragrance filling his nose, the smooth little hands in his palms...
He suddenly became excited and jumped high with joy. Then he jumped up and down the roof seven or eight times before he got in through the small window of his guest room.
The small window next to him still had a small crack, and Xu Qingyan saw the whole scene. Looking at the silly grin and the two long, powerful legs jumping up and down, he was furious. He thought to himself, if Zhao Wu dared not marry his daughter, he would break that boy's legs even if it cost him his life.
Thinking about how little he had held his daughter in his arms throughout her life, and even the time he had spent holding her hand was rare. She was already seventeen years old this year, married, and belonged to another family… His heart ached again. He owed his wife, children, and family so much.
Xu Lanyin also noticed Zhao Wu's abnormal behavior today. She thought, the little brat has grown up, and she needs to keep her distance from him in the future.
After breakfast, Zhao Wu and Li Luo left first. Zhao Wu rode a horse, while Huang Qi and Li Luo rode in a carriage, with He Dong driving. He Xi stayed in the capital to handle Zhao Wu and Xu Lanyin's affairs there.
Before leaving, Zhao Wu pulled Xu Lanyin aside. He didn't dare hold her hand in front of Xu Qingyan, but quietly pulled her sleeve. He whispered, "Sister, I'll take one more day off during my day off and visit you in Nanping County."
