Chapter 222: Three Days of Abstinence
"Xiao Ye, I heard from the shop owner that Shaolin Temple is in Yuzhong Prefecture. How about we go and take a look?" Qing Yi suggested excitedly.
"Well, let's go early tomorrow morning." Ye Qingyu said in a calm tone, as if he had already planned this.
The four of them rested for a while and then walked out of the inn, wandering around wherever there was a lot of activity. Their purpose was very clear, they did not hide and wanted to make those who wanted to harm them show up as soon as possible.
"Excuse me, where can I buy good wine?" Qing Yi asked. After all, the only jar of Feixia he had was poisoned with Hedinghong. Although it would not kill him, the taste had changed. He had to buy a new jar to satisfy his craving. In such a prosperous place, there should be good wine, right?
"Hey, sir, if you want good wine, it must be Chunsuifang, but the wine there is not cheap." Someone advised Qingyi very enthusiastically.
"Xiao Ye, let's go try it!"
"Hey! Didn't you hear the price is not cheap?" Qingqing couldn't help but complain.
"You little girl, who are you looking down on? Can't this hero even afford a jar of wine?" Upon hearing this, Qing Yi immediately argued without giving in.
"Tsk, it's all just spending the master's money." He muttered softly.
"Hehe, so what you said is, isn't your master's money mine? We are only friends, right, Xiaoye?" Qingyi looked at Ye Qingyu with a proud look in his eyes.
"Yeah." Ye Qingyu responded. Only Qing Yi could say such words with such confidence. Anyone else would be embarrassed to say it so openly.
"Look, your master is very happy!" Qing Yi smiled proudly.
She curled her lips slightly. Ever since she met this brat, it seemed that the master was the one spending the money. This brat had never been generous. He finally bought a hairband for the master, but he still cheated Xue An of the money.
The four of them asked along the way and finally arrived at the so-called "Chun Sui Fang".
"What is this place?" Everyone was a little dumbfounded, looking at the girls dressed up at the door. This was not a restaurant, but clearly a brothel. Perhaps the passerby had misunderstood what Qing Yi meant by "buying wine".
"Oh, you bastard, you actually lied to me!" Qing Yi angrily scolded the person who showed him the way, for daring to lie to him!
"..." Qingqing had nothing to say at this time.
Qing Yi was unwilling to give up, so he looked inside through the gate and found it was very lively inside.
"Hey, little brat, you're about to get your head in there. Do you want to get in so badly?" Qingqing said jokingly.
"Uh, I seem to smell the aroma of wine." Qing Yi rubbed his nose.
"Master, he actually wants to go in!" Qingqing took the opportunity to instigate her master to deal with this bad boy.
"Do you want to go in?" Ye Qingyu looked at Qingyi.
"Ah, there seems to be wine in there!" Qing Yi was also puzzled. How could he smell such a strong aroma of wine at the door?
"Don't drink during these three days!" Ye Qingyu said, then turned and left.
"Ah? What?" Qing Yi was stunned for a moment. What happened to Xiao Ye?
Hearing what his master said, he immediately burst into laughter and kindly explained to the stunned silly boy, "The master said that you are not allowed to drink for three days, not even a single sip!" After that, he jumped and ran to chase his master.
"This... Hey, Xiaoye, wait for me!" Qing Yi saw that they had all left and hurriedly chased after them.
"Xiao Ye, I didn't go in either. Why don't you let me drink? You know, if I don't drink, I can't even eat!" Qing Yi said aggrievedly.
"If you want to drink, that's fine, but you're not allowed to come near me for three months." Ye Qingyu said coldly, with no room for negotiation in his tone.
"Ah?" Qing Yi was depressed. Xiao Ye wanted him to choose one of the two, him or the wine?
Well, it's not really a choice between two, isn't it just one option? Even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare choose wine!
Qing Yi suddenly felt that Xiao Ye's tyranny was similar to that of the King of the Northwest. The King of the Northwest's tyranny was outwardly assertive and he was unwavering in his words, while Xiao Ye's tyranny was restrained, seemingly giving you the right to choose, but there was only one inevitable option.
"Xiao Ye, I won't drink anymore. I promise not to touch a drop of alcohol for three days, okay?" Qing Yi promised reluctantly.
"If you dare to drink secretly, I will never let you go!" Ye Qingyu blocked all of Qingyi's escape routes. Qingyi had originally thought of finding an opportunity to drink secretly outside, as long as he didn't get caught by Xiaoye, but who knew Xiaoye would threaten him like this!
"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not a person who doesn't keep his word. If I say I don't want to drink, then I won't drink!" Qing Yi said firmly.
The four of them wandered around the bustling and prosperous area of Yuzhong Prefecture for half a day before returning to the inn.
evening
"Can you be quiet for a moment?" Ye Qingyu was upset by the disturbance caused by the person next to him and said dissatisfiedly.
"I can't sleep without wine, and I didn't eat much for dinner." Qing Yi was also a little depressed. If he wasn't allowed to drink, did that mean he wasn't allowed to touch people either? How had he offended Xiao Ye?
"If you want to drink, go ahead and drink. I'm not stopping you!" Ye Qingyu closed his eyes, his tone lazily.
"Well, I don't want to drink. I don't want to drink at all." Qing Yi said against his will.
"Take your hands off me!"
"Xiao Ye, what's wrong with you?" Qing Yi felt that something was wrong with Ye Qingyu, and he seemed to be worried about something.
"Don't bother me, go to sleep quickly, and go to Shaolin Temple tomorrow." Ye Qingyu whispered with his eyes closed.
"..." Qing Yi frowned. Xiao Ye actually thought he was annoying him? He withdrew his disruptive hand and lay quietly. After an unknown amount of time, Qing Yi couldn't lie still any longer. He glanced at Xiao Ye, who was already asleep, and gently put her legs that were draped over him back down. Then he sat up, quietly got up, and left the room.
Qing Yi couldn't sleep, not knowing whether it was because there was really no wine or because he was worried. He flew onto the roof. The inn here was three-story, and from the roof one could overlook the night view of central Henan. However, in the dead of night, everything was silent, with only moonlight shining. There was no scenery at all, and everything was quiet.
Qing Yi let his thoughts wander, and scenes of what happened in the Northwest Palace echoed in his mind. Did he really want to leave at that time?
Ye Qingyu is not an ordinary person. He is the prince of the Northwest Palace and a person valued by the Emperor of Chu. Their identities and family backgrounds are very different, and their interests and hobbies are completely different, but they have become the closest people.
Qing Yi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. How strange! Who attracted whom?
"Xiao Ye~" Qing Yi felt sweet in his heart and couldn't help but recite the name of the person who made his heart beat.
"Is there something wrong?" A white figure appeared next to Qing Yi like a ghost, scaring the stunned Qing Yi so much that he staggered and almost fell off the roof. Fortunately, the kind ghost held him up.
"Ah! Ouch, Xiaoye, what are you doing? Do you want to scare me to death?" Qing Yi reacted, patted his chest, and sat back in his original position.
