Originally, Lin Feng's team only had seven people, and with You You, there were only eight. But they first encountered Yin Fan's team, and now with the addition of Xun Rong and his servant, their numbers have grown considerably, almost reaching thirty people. It feels like the team is getting stronger and stronger.
You You had no objection to Lin Feng's decision. After all, he was the captain, and seeing Xun Rong coughing every now and then, looking so weak as if he was about to die, he couldn't just ignore him and leave him there. When you're traveling, it's always good to lend a hand, and You You thought it was perfectly normal.
And since everyone was walking, Xun Rong's servants, after helping him into the carriage, had no choice but to keep pace with the crowd, slowly pulling the carriage alongside the group. Whether by coincidence or not, the right-hand window of the carriage faced You You's direction, and a casual turn of the head revealed the person inside.
Xun Rong gave her an exceptionally gentle smile and asked at the opportune moment, "I haven't asked yet, what is this noble lady's name?"
"Me?" You You glanced at him and replied casually, "My name is You You, nice to meet you!"
Xun Rong was taken aback, seemingly not expecting the other party to be so easy to talk to. Her face immediately became even more stunningly beautiful. "The surname You is quite rare. Are you from Shangyang, young lady?"
“No, I’m from Liuyang,” You You blurted out.
"Liuyang? Where is that?" He paused for a moment.
“Uh…” Nima blurted out, “Liuyang is… a small place, you probably haven’t heard of it.”
"I see. I haven't heard of it, but..." He smiled and praised her politely as if it were a habit, "I see that you are a remarkable person. I suppose Liuyang must be a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery."
You You thought the other party would be modest for a while, but instead, she turned around and glanced at him, giving him a thumbs up without hesitation, "You're right! You have good taste!" Just kidding, their Liuyang River area has produced great people before.
"..." No, he was just being polite, there was no need to reply so definitively, was there? The conversation has died down.
Xun Rong's lips twitched. She wanted to continue the conversation, but Yin Fan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and came over, blocking the carriage window. He handed her a water bag and chuckled, "Miss You, you must be thirsty after walking for so long. Here, have some water to calm down!"
"Okay, thanks!" Youyou was thirsty, so she took it without hesitation.
"Oh, why are you being so polite with me?" He laughed even more heartily, but then suddenly turned around and glared at the person in the carriage. The newcomer wanted to steal Miss You's attention? Dream on! Humph, get in line. "Miss You, would you like some fruit? I found it in the forest a few days ago, it's so fresh."
"Uh, no... no need!" She shook her head. She had picked a few wild fruits out of curiosity before, but they really didn't taste very good. She was almost traumatized by fruit.
"Oh." Yin Fan had no choice but to retract his words in disappointment. Just as he was about to say something, a gentle male voice came from behind him.
"Would the young lady like to try some pastries?" Xun Rong asked with a light smile. Although her voice was not loud, it was still impossible to ignore. "These are pastries from Qi Fang Zhai, a famous pastry shop in Shangyang. Only ten servings are available each day. The servants prepared them on the day we set off, and they have been kept in the carriage untouched. I wonder if they suit the young lady's taste?"
After saying that, he handed out an exquisite box through the window. It was decorated with golden auspicious cloud patterns and looked very valuable. It instantly outshone the bare, slightly green fruit in Yin Fan's hand.
Yin Fan inexplicably felt as if he had been stabbed somewhere.
Even Youyou, who was used to all kinds of high-end packaging, was attracted, but was too embarrassed to take the other party's things directly. "This... isn't that inappropriate?"
"It's alright." Xun Rong's tone became even gentler, but as if she had thought of something, her brows furrowed and a hint of sadness appeared. "As you know, my health... cough cough... is not good to begin with, and I can't eat too much of these. These pastries are a waste for me, and they won't be edible in a few days anyway. Miss You, please do me a favor, okay?"
After saying that, she opened the box and found it full of pastries carved into various flower shapes, which looked very appetizing.
"Thank you!" Since she had already said that, Youyou couldn't refuse any longer, so she took it and ate one as she walked, her eyes shining even brighter. "Mmm, this pastry is so delicious."
"I'm glad you like it, Miss." Xun Rong smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes met into a line. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced at Yin Fan beside her, a dark glint flashing in her eyes. She smiled lightly and said, "Young Master Yin, would you like to try some? The pastries from 'Qi Fang Zhai' are the best in Shangyang. Legend has it that these are the only foods worthy of a noble lady!"
What does "..." mean?
Even though the other person had a smile on their face, Yin Fan felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had just been subtly insulted.
"Boss Yin, why don't you give it a try?" You You immediately handed it over to share.
"...No, no need." Why am I even more frustrated?
"Oh." Youyou didn't pay any attention, assuming he didn't like sweets, and turned to share with the other teammates.
Xun Rong smiled calmly from beginning to end. Only after watching You You walk away did he turn to look at the bewildered Yin Fan beside him, his lips curling up to one side, his eyes narrowing as he let out a cryptic "Heh!"
"..." Damn! This person is definitely implying something about him, absolutely!
凸(艹皿艹)
Yin Fan's temper flared instantly, yet he couldn't find a reason to get angry. "You seem so refined, but I never expected you to be such a little bitch!"
"Young Master Xun, thank you for the pastries!" After dividing the spoils, You You handed the empty box back to Xun Rong.
