Chapter 665 The two of them stayed in an inn
Xiao Qing'er turned her head to look at her face, and in order not to wake her, she sat carefully to the side, not daring to move.
The two of them sat like that for the entire afternoon.
When Mianmian woke up, the azure sky was already shrouded in orange sunset.
She looked up and saw the rippling river water, illuminated by the sunset, dazzling and beautiful, like a dream.
Qing'er asked softly beside her, "Does it look good?"
Mianmian couldn't help but smile and say, "It's beautiful."
Qing'er followed her gaze and looked at her, "In the future, whatever scenery you want to see, I will take you there."
A warm feeling suddenly welled up in Mianmian's heart. She turned her head to look at Qing'er and smiled, "Brother Qing'er, you are so kind."
Qing'er said in a serious tone, "You don't need to call me brother from now on."
Mianmian was quite generous and stood up, saying, "Then I'll call you Qing'er too."
"Qing'er!"
"Qing'er!"
"Qing'er!"
She called out several times.
Qing'er's smile grew wider and wider.
To him, no beautiful scenery could compare to Mianmian's smile.
He got up and came to her side, put the kite away, and handed it to her, saying, "Keep this safe for now, we'll come again next time."
Mianmian took it, smiled and nodded, "Okay, you've been accommodating me today, but next time, neither of us will give way to the other."
Qing'er nodded.
The sun sets in the west, and night falls.
Mianmian and Qing'er, along with Zhouzhou and the others, boarded a carriage and returned to the Zhou residence.
When Aunt Zhou heard that they were going back to the capital, she was very reluctant to see them go, but she did not try to persuade them to stay.
"Mianmian, after a while, Grandma will go to the capital to see you."
The Third Prince brought over a bowl of white fungus soup cooked in the kitchen and placed it in front of them.
Since Aunt Zhou gave birth to Zhouzhou, her health has deteriorated, so the Third Prince has been personally cooking soup for her every day.
They had been together for several years, and the Third Prince had become quite skilled at making soup.
Moreover, even though his family lived in seclusion here with servants and maids, the Third Prince would still do many things personally.
He never neglected Aunt Zhou's food, in particular.
In his words, this is what life is all about.
Looking at the two of them, Mianmian felt a little envious.
Although my grandmother had suffered half her life, it was good that she found such a good husband in middle age.
As she was thinking, Qing'er suddenly took out a box of ointment.
Mianmian looked down and saw that it was the scar removal ointment she had given to Qing'er last time.
Just as she was wondering, Qing'er took her hand and said, "The kite string was too thin today. I'll change to a thicker one next time."
Mianmian then realized that she had accidentally cut her finger while flying the kite earlier that day.
The small wound was only about half the size of a fingernail, and it didn't hurt or itch, so much so that Mianmian hadn't noticed it yet.
Qing'er carefully opened the ointment and applied it to her, asking, "Does it hurt?"
Mianmian smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt. It's just a minor injury. It should heal in another hour or two."
Qing'er remained serious, saying, "Even minor injuries shouldn't be taken lightly."
He carefully put the plaster away and returned it to her hand. "Remember to apply it every day until the wound heals."
Mianmian looked at the ointment in her hand and almost laughed at him. "For such a small injury, let alone applying ointment, you probably won't even be able to find it later."
Qing'er took the ointment back from her hand, "Then I'll apply it for you every day, otherwise you won't be able to find it."
Mianmian almost burst out laughing, but seeing his stubbornness, she didn't continue.
Aunt Zhou quickly organized everyone to eat the white fungus soup together.
When Mianmian eats something delicious, she forgets her troubles and focuses intently on eating.
For some reason, Mianmian slept very peacefully that night; it was the most peaceful night she had slept since Aruo left.
The next morning, Qing'er prepared a carriage and took Mianmian back to the capital.
This time, they didn't choose to travel by water, but instead took the official road.
Mianmian wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Of course, I was also afraid that the sight of the scene would trigger my emotions.
The weather has been very sunny these days. Mianmian leans against the carriage window, looking at the flowers, plants and trees outside, feeling very happy.
Just as they were about to reach the capital, their horses suddenly stepped on nails and could no longer proceed.
Seeing this, Qing'er could only take Mianmian to the nearest village to find another carriage.
It was already evening when the two entered the village.
Mianmian quickly pulled Qing'er into a small inn.
The waiter stepped forward and asked, "Would you like a meal or to stay the night?"
Qing'er glanced back at the inn and, seeing that it was already dark, replied, "Let's stay here."
The waiter glanced at the two of them, bowed and said, "Esteemed guests, it's a pity we only have one room available today. If you'd like to stay here, we'll have to make do with this."
Qing'er frowned. "Is there really only one room?"
The waiter nodded helplessly, "A镖头 (bodyguard/escort) happened to be passing by today, so there's only one room left."
Qing'er began to hesitate.
Right now, this is the only inn we have.
Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Mianmian smiled and said, "Waiter, we'll stay in this room."
Qing'er was startled and turned her head to look at Mianmian.
Mianmian took two steps forward. "What does it matter? This isn't the first time we've shared a room. You've forgotten, we used to sleep in the same cradle all the time."
That was true, and Qing'er couldn't really refute it for the time being.
The waiter stood up and led the way to Mianmian with a smile, "Alright, please follow me, gentlemen."
Mianmian strode forward and followed behind the waiter.
Seeing that she had already gone upstairs, Qing'er had no choice but to go upstairs with her.
The waiter led them to a room on the far west side of the second floor.
