Meet the parents?
"Is Xi'er waiting for me?"
The wind blew, and the hair danced to the melody of the wind. Liu Zai Xi looked back, and it was endless autumn. He leaned against the door in the light, hugged his arms, and looked a little youthful. The sunlight was dazzling, but Liu Zai Xi could see his raised lips.
Qiu Wuji always gives Liu Zaixi a feeling of maturity, so much so that Liu Zaixi thinks Qiu Wuji is of the same age as him. But in fact, Qiu Wuji is just an eighteen-year-old boy. Thinking about it this way, it feels a bit like an old cow eating young grass.
If I really start a relationship with Qiu Wuji, it would be a real sin.
"What a sin, what a sin..." Liu Zai Xi said unconsciously. When he came to his senses, Qiu Wuji laughed out loud. Liu Zai Xi turned his head away immediately. It turned out that Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yi were also laughing, so he simply turned his back.
"What did you mean by the sin just now?"
Liu Zaixi, who of course would not tell the truth, replied casually, "It's meaningless."
A few people walked to the backyard, where Pan Ji, Xiao Jia and others were sitting in front of the stone table. Liu Mubai was also waiting, but he looked depressed when he saw Qiu Wuji. Qiu Wuji saw it, but didn't care.
On the stone table was the chopped pepper fish head for the experiment, and Liu Zaixi personally cooked a few simple dishes.
When the three chefs saw that the person coming was Qiu Wuji, they all complimented him: "So the person the boss was waiting for is the prince."
"Your Highness, do you really want to dine with us?"
Qiu Wuji was in a good mood. He was not the kind of person who cared about these things. "No problem, we can go together."
Everyone was seated and seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Qiu Wuji did not put on his usual princely airs, as if all those things would disappear as long as he was with Liu Zaixi. At this moment, he just wanted to be an ordinary person and stay with the person he loved. If possible, it would be okay to give up his status as a prince.
Among the three chefs, except Pan Ji who was older and less talkative, the other two were not afraid of Prince Qiu Wuji's identity at all. They chatted and laughed. Qiu Wuji was not very proactive. He would only interject a few words when Zhang Jide and others talked about Liu Zaixi.
Liu Zaixi, for once, was not as enthusiastic as usual, and just buried his head in his meal. As he was shoveling in his bowl, a piece of fish fell from the sky with his chopsticks. Qiu Wuji picked up some vegetables and put them into Liu Zaixi's bowl.
Qiu Wuji looked so affectionate. If Liu Zaixi refused at this moment, he could already imagine that Qiu Wuji would be devastated. So he accepted the favor and ate it.
Xiaozhu and Xiaoyi looked in the direction of the two of them with sparkling eyes, and a word suddenly popped up in Liu Zaixi's mind: CP leader.
Just as he was thinking about finishing his meal quickly and running away, he caught sight of Liu Mubai out of the corner of his eye. Liu Mubai was just staring at the rice in his bowl with his chopsticks, but he didn't move his chopsticks. Liu Zaixi immediately picked up a dish that he usually saw Liu Mubai eat and put it in his bowl. Liu Mubai was stunned at first, but then he ate the dish that Liu Zaixi picked up.
Liu Mubai finished the food he had picked up and stopped moving. Liu Zaixi simply kept putting food into his bowl to take care of this "picky eater" "brother".
This action actually aroused "jealousy". Qiu Wuji supported his head and pushed the bowl over: "Xi'er, I want one too."
Liu Zai Xi was speechless, but still picked up the bowl to pick up the food. What was going on? He suddenly became so busy.
While Liu Zaixi was busy, Qiu Wuji looked at Liu Mubai with a half-smile, as if they were competing for his favor. The atmosphere started to get a little off-kilter, but fortunately Xiaozhu and Xiaoyi also joined in.
"Princess, we want one too!"
I originally thought it was a little weird, but when another couple came, that feeling disappeared, and I said lovingly, "Okay, okay, we have everything, just eat your food."
It's a bit like playing house.
The lunch, which was full of thoughts and concerns, ended. After everyone disappeared, a horse appeared at the door.
Everyone was standing at the door. Qiu Wuji jumped onto the horse nimbly and then extended his hand to Liu Zaixi. Liu Zaixi was almost used to it and naturally rode on the same horse with Qiu Wuji.
"We're leaving, keep an eye on the store."
"Okay." They said in unison.
Watching the two people go away, they all returned to the store. Only Liu Mubai stood at the door, looking in the direction they left. Pan Ji sighed, patted Liu Mubai on the shoulder, and turned into the store.
The steed quickly reached the outskirts of the city. Qiu Wuji increased his speed, with Liu Zaixi's back pressed tightly against Qiu Wuji's chest. This was Liu Zaixi's first time riding a horse, and for some reason, he wasn't afraid. He slowly began to enjoy the lightning-fast speed.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Gradually, the place became deserted, and an idea popped up in Liu Zaixi's mind, which she herself thought was unrealistic: Qiu Wuji probably wanted to sell her out.
Fortunately, the horses gradually slowed down. Although there was no one around, the weather was exceptionally good today. Looking up, one could see the white clouds drifting by. Liu Zaixi looked up at the sky and could also see the boundless autumn in its prime.
The horse suddenly stopped, and Liu Zaixi fell into Qiu Wuji's arms. Liu Zaixi was dizzy and looked around. When he turned his head, he saw an endless and stunning sea of flowers. Countless flowers were like oil paintings, with colors piled together, but they were not ugly, but full of vitality.
When the wind blows, the petals will dance in the wind and gather together, like a huge flower tornado.
A petal flew down into Liu Zaixi's palm and lay there quietly. "Did you bring me to see this?"
Qiu Wuji shook his head: "Not entirely."
"I want my mother to see you."
Liu Zai Xi's body tensed up and he began to get nervous about what was going on.
Even after being carried off the horse by Qiu Wuji, Liu Zaixi still felt something was wrong: "Isn't this too bad? It's too hasty."
"Don't be nervous, I just want mother to meet the person I like." Qiu Wuji touched Liu Zaixi's head and comforted him not to be nervous.
Liu Zai Xi took two deep breaths and said, "It's okay, just think of it as meeting a friend's mother."
Qiu Wuji led Liu Zaixi into the depths of the sea of flowers. Seeing the endless sea of flowers, Liu Zaixi asked a question: "Are these flowers all planted artificially?"
"My father planted it."
"When he missed his mother, he would come and plant flowers. Before he knew it, he had planted so many. But then Concubine Hui appeared, and he never came again."
Liu Zaixi silently labeled Qiu Sheng a short-lived scumbag.
In the middle of the sea of flowers, a tombstone stood. The two walked to the tombstone. Qiu Wuji took out the good wine he brought and slowly poured it over them. Then he closed his eyes, knelt on the ground, and prayed silently.
Liu Zai Xi didn't say anything, just stood aside waiting, his eyes fixed on the tombstone. There were a few words clearly engraved on the tombstone: Tomb of My Beloved Wife Shen Mingshu. Is this Qiu Wuji's mother?
Liu Zai Xi suddenly discovered that the soil behind the tombstone had been loosened and replaced by green plants. Liu Zai Xi was very familiar with that thing, it was a pepper seedling.
"Qiu Wuji, is that thing actually here?"
Qiu Wuji opened his eyes and looked in the direction Liu Zaixi pointed. There were indeed a few pepper seedlings planted behind the tombstone at some point, but few people knew about this place. Who could it be?
Liu Zaixi's eyes revealed true feelings. "This is what it means to have a little bit of spice among thousands of flowers."
The smile in his eyes did not show any disrespect, but was a genuine joy that someone was thinking of him.
Sitting in front of the tombstone, chatting casually.
"If you ask me, since your mother also likes spicy food and delicious food, why not grow fruits and vegetables?"
"If it doesn't seem weird, who would dare to eat it?"
After imagining it for a moment, Liu Zaixi nodded: "Indeed."
"But isn't it too early for you to bring me to see your mother now? We might get divorced after three months."
Qiu Wuji didn't answer, but leaned his head on Liu Zaixi's shoulder, like a spoiled child: "Can't you just like me?"
The cold-faced prince took off all his disguises at this moment, just wanting his beloved to look at him.
Liu Zai Xi refused at this time.
"I just follow my heart. If I like it, I like it. If I don't like it, I don't like it."
Qiu Wuji laughed at himself, "How heartless."
Until dusk, the two sat and chatted about the simplest things: what to eat in the evening? Should we send someone to help with the opening? Is he cold? Is he thirsty?
It has nothing to do with love. Liu Zai Xi sincerely feels that the two of them are more suitable to be friends.
It was getting late. When I returned to the city, the sunset had disappeared and the stars appeared instead.
Liu Zai Xi did not go to the store again and went straight back to the palace to rest.
*
In the palace, Qiu Wuji was not the only one investigating Liu Zaixi. Jiang Zhiyi also secretly sent people to investigate.
"A merchant's daughter, unloved, she inexplicably gained wealth, abandoned her status, and came to the capital to open a shop with her maid."
"Liu Mansion, huh? It's better to make things a little more chaotic." Jiang Zhiyi curled his lips maliciously.
Liu Zai Xi was lying on the bed and sneezed.
"Who's scolding me again?"
Qiu Wuji: "Why don't you say that someone is thinking of you?"
Shaking his head seriously, Liu Zaixi said, "Impossible. I have a feeling someone is plotting against me."
After putting away his official duties, Qiu Wuji sat down in front of the bed and patted Liu Zaixi: "Don't worry, no one can hurt you in the slightest."
Liu Zaixi's originally tense face relaxed and he started laughing: "Hahahahahaha, no, Qiu Wuji, why are you trying to be cool?"
His ears turned red, and Qiu Wuji looked away, pretending nothing had happened.
His princess doesn't understand romance anymore, so it seems she needs to be taught a lesson in the future.
In the middle of the night, Qiu Wuji suddenly lost his mind and said, "It would be great if you could just be my princess. I can assign someone to help you manage the store."
Perhaps because he was rejected by Liu Zai Xi during the day, Qiu Wuji felt a little uneasy and forgot what Liu Zai Xi needed. He now only hoped that his princess was nothing, did not need to open a shop, did not need to be surrounded by so many people, and only had eyes for him.
The night was as dark as ink. Qiu Wuji didn't expect that Liu Zaixi was not asleep and opened his eyes: "If you think so, we can get divorced now."
!
Qiu Wuji felt something slip away from his heart, and hurriedly hugged Liu Zaixi and apologized: "I'm sorry, please don't divorce me, please."
Liu Zai Xi just turned around and said nothing, but let Qiu Wu Ji hug her.
People's feelings will change with the depth of their feelings. From the beginning, you can still be free if you marry me, but now, I just want to lock you up by my side and not show you to anyone else.
