79 Her smile is the most beautiful scenery he has ever seen
After reciting the poem, Xiao Tingyun bowed again and said in a crisp voice, "I hope this gentleman can accept this flower!"
Pei Yuning raised his eyebrows, looking a little amused, and reached out to take the flowers and helped the person up, "Pei thanks this lady for her kindness."
Xiao Tingyun playfully turned around, dodged his hand, and asked, "What about you?"
Pei Yuning held the flower, looked at her empty hand again, with a gentle look, and took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her.
He also imitated her thinking, "A magpie bridge is far away, and a thousand jade pendants are ringing. I hope this girl will accept this!"
After saying that, he bowed back to her.
Xiao Tingyun covered his mouth and laughed secretly, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Didn't you say flowers? Why did it change?"
Pei Yuning stood up and stroked the jade pendant for a while. "I have been wearing this jade pendant since I was a child. It also happens to be a lotus flower, and it will never wither."
He took her hand and placed the jade pendant in her hand.
Xiao Tingyun was stunned. She naturally remembered this jade pendant. She was deeply impressed when she first met it.
The jade pendant felt cool to the touch. Xiao Tingyun hesitated and asked, "Is this... too expensive?"
Pei Yuning chuckled and put the jade pendant into her hand steadily as usual. "So many young gentlemen have given you flowers, but none of them have asked you to give away the flower in your hand. How can mine be considered valuable?"
Xiao Tingyun was surprised, "Did you see it?"
Pei Yuning said in a gentle voice, "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman."
It is normal for a girl of this age, who is so attractive, to have admirers. I can be jealous, but that doesn't mean she will lose the process of feeling the love of others.
Xiao Tingyun heard jealousy in those words and laughed, "Then I will really accept your jade pendant. Don't regret it later and come to me to ask for it back?!"
"You can't ask for back something you've given away. I just hope you don't give it back to me." Pei Yuning looked at the girl in front of him with a serious expression.
Xiao Tingyun carefully touched the texture on the jade pendant, thinking that he was replying to his question, and did not think much about it, "How could it be?"
"Boom! Puff!"
A brilliant firework exploded before his eyes. Xiao Tingyun was startled by the sound. Pei Yuning subconsciously pulled him into his arms and said, "Don't be afraid. Look up!"
"Boom! Puff!!" There was another explosion.
Xiao Tingyun said happily, "These fireworks are so beautiful!"
Pei Yuning stared at her profile. The fireworks flickered, revealing her beautiful smile.
In the interval between the fireworks, Xiao Tingyun heard Pei Yuning's slightly hoarse voice saying, "It's really beautiful."
Xiao Tingyun turned her head and looked straight into his eyes, which were deep and alluring. At this moment, both of them felt inexplicably moved.
As if attracted and bewitched, Pei Yuning slowly pulled the person towards him until the two of them were getting closer and closer.
Xiao Tingyun lowered his eyes, moved forward tentatively, and moved close to his lips like an ignorant child.
The beating of his heart like a drum made Xiao Tingyun's cheeks flush.
When he was almost close, "Squeak!" a door at the entrance of the alley suddenly opened.
Xiao Tingyun pushed Pei Yuning away as if he had been electrocuted, and Pei Yuning sighed inwardly.
A middle-aged couple came out, looking very affectionate, and the husband was holding the wife's hand affectionately.
When they saw Pei Yuning and Xiao Tingyun, they were a little stunned.
But in such a dark alley, and the girl was so embarrassed, the man's honest face suddenly became a little brighter. He patted his wife's hand and said in a low voice, "Come on, come on, it's Chinese Valentine's Day. You are such a perfect match. Let's stop standing here and get in the way."
The woman glared at him angrily. What a guy! He was shouting so loudly, as if he was afraid that others couldn’t hear him!
Xiao Tingyun felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, so he stood with his head turned and his back to everyone!
The woman pulled the man and smiled at the two of them, "Excuse me, please continue!"
The man also winked at Pei Yuning and secretly gave him a thumbs up!
Pei Yuning nodded calmly, his expression not changing at all.
Wow! This little brother is great! The man was amazed in his heart, he didn't look like a simple person, what a demeanor!
As the two walked away, the woman could still be heard mumbling, "It's so loud, I should be embarrassed, but they are really good-looking..."
"Yeah, that's what I just said, you..."
The man proudly echoed his wife's words, and his voice gradually faded away.
Xiao Tingyun and Pei Yuning were left alone. Pei Yuning stared at the little girl with her back to him with soft eyes, "She's gone."
Xiao Tingyun closed his eyes in melancholy, and slowly moved over after a while, saying a little aggrievedly, "It's over..."
Pei Yuning came closer to her, lowered his head and stared into her eyes, frowned, and then reached out to touch her hair. "Nothing, I'll talk to them later and ask them to keep their mouths shut."
"Ah? Hey——" Xiao Tingyun was a little confused when he heard this, and quickly said, "No need, they don't even know us, there's no need to do this, don't scare them."
Pei Yuning raised his eyebrows, "What? Am I scary?"
Xiao Tingyun rolled his eyes and said mischievously, "I don't think you're scary, but looking at the reactions of my girls... well... it's still a little scary!"
"Well, I won't scare you." Pei Yuning took over her words and said softly.
This sentence made Xiao Tingyun's heart tremble, his eyes were filled with sparkling smiles, and his gaze was burning.
He never scared her...
But she had never been afraid of him...
Her smile was the most beautiful scenery Pei Yuning had ever seen.
He leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth with a hint of madness that was barely noticeable.
Soon, Pei Yuning restrained himself and left. Xiao Tingyun was startled and wanted to speak, but Pei Yuning spoke first, "It's late, you should go back."
Xiao Tingyun nodded, still a little shy.
As they were about to leave the alley, both of them put on masks.
Arriving at a busy street, Xiao Tingyun pointed to a teahouse not far away and said, "My parents are both in that teahouse."
"Yes." Pei Yuning nodded, "Let's go in."
"Don't you have anything else to say to me?" Xiao Tingyun bit her lip and looked at him expectantly.
Pei Yuning turned sideways, and Li Ming, who was following behind him, came over quickly and handed over a long box, which Pei Yuning took.
"This is for you, a gift for the Qixi Festival."
"Hasn't it been delivered already?" Xiao Tingyun asked.
Pei Yuning smiled and said, "That one doesn't count. You also gave me the lotus, so this one counts."
He handed it to her again, "Don't worry, it's just a little thing, take it, you will like it."
After hearing what he said, Xiao Tingyun accepted it generously.
"Then...goodbye!" Xiao Tingyun said slowly, holding the box.
"Goodbye." Pei Yuning replied in a gentle voice.
Li Ming also ate a lot of dog food in the back. He never expected that His Majesty, such a wise and brave man, would fall into the hands of a little girl.
How happy the Queen Mother would be to see such an affectionate look!
If the concubines in the harem saw this... uh... how resentful they would be!
