Didn't you eat enough for breakfast?
Zuo Ningyuan was so startled by his sudden question that he almost choked. He coughed twice before saying, "I'm full."
Luo Yong couldn't think of a second sentence to express his concern, so he could only imitate his wife's usual advice to the children and say, "Eat as much as you like, but don't overeat."
There was not a trace of concern in that indifferent tone. Zuo Ningyuan didn't know why this cold-faced general was saying that. After thinking for a long time, he thought that the other party thought he had eaten too much.
"……good."
He agreed verbally, but after finishing the pastry in his hand, he didn't dare to take another piece. He sat upright with his hands on his knees, looking down at the ground.
General Luo is so serious and scary. I can't even stand being alone with him. How can my elder sister tolerate him?
Luo Sheng, on the other hand, assumed he was full and had nothing more to say.
Chen Yuancheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed, curled the corners of his mouth into a smile, as if he was trying to hold back but couldn't help it.
Luo Sheng gave him a strange look. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, he didn't say anything. He also crossed his arms and leaned against the inner wall to rest.
Zuo Ningyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, hoping the carriage would go faster and faster.
After finally reaching the foot of the long steps outside Liangshan Temple, he disregarded etiquette and rushed off the carriage to run towards the other carriage.
Xiao Yunying got off the carriage first, carried Luo Xin down, and saw him rushing over in a hurry, asking, "What happened?"
Zuo Ningyuan then began to straighten his clothes: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just wanted to stretch my body after sitting in the carriage for too long."
Xiao Yunying glanced at Luo Sheng, who was walking towards her from behind him: "You must find it boring to sit with the two of them."
Zuo Ningyuan had no way to express his suffering. It wasn't just boring; it was oppressive and torturous.
Xiao Yunying could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his expression. Luo Sheng always acted aloof to outsiders, and Chen Yuancheng was also a quiet person. The two of them hardly spoke when they were together, so you could imagine how unbearable the atmosphere in the carriage was. Zuo Ningyuan had really suffered this journey.
"On the way back, let Xin'er and Yuanxuan go to that carriage. You can ride in our carriage instead, so you won't be bored on the way."
Zuo Ningyuan was pleased, but still politely said, "This...this isn't quite right."
“They’re all acquaintances, there’s no need to worry too much about the separation of men and women.” Xiao Yunying looked at Luo Xin, whom she was holding: “These two children can play together for half a day, it doesn’t matter which carriage they play in, Xin’er, what do you think?”
Luo Xin nodded and said, "Sure, Xin'er is willing to switch carriages with her uncle."
Zuo Ningyuan let out a long breath and murmured to himself, "That's really great..."
Before he could even exhale completely, he heard Luo Sheng behind him ask, "Why did you change carriages? Will you feel uncomfortable sitting with me?"
Zuo Ningyuan turned around in a panic: "No, no... I just... I just..."
He couldn't think of a good reason for a moment and stammered nervously. It was Xiao Yunying who came to his rescue, glancing at Luo Sheng: "Stop teasing him. Is it fun to scare a child?"
When Luo Sheng looked at his wife, his gaze softened instantly: "He's old enough to be considering marriage, but in your eyes he's still a child."
"At fifteen or sixteen years old, what else are they but children?" Xiao Yunying muttered softly, "You know my understanding of adulthood is different from yours."
“If you say it’s a child, then it’s a child. Now put the child you’re holding down. There are still dozens of steps to go. You’ll get tired carrying Xin’er.”
Xiao Yunying put Luo Xin down: "Xin'er, go upstairs with your brother Yuanxuan. Mother will catch up in a little while."
After everyone got off the carriage, Dai Jincai and Ling Qi drove the carriage around to the back of Liangshan Temple, while the others climbed dozens of steps through the main gate to show their sincerity.
