Chapter 407 The Past of Lanling (Thirteen)
Lu Lingjun nodded and said seriously, "In Lanling, there is a custom that people give peach blossoms to their beloved on the full moon of the fifteenth of March every year. If the other person accepts them, it means that they have agreed to the marriage."
Gu Yanjing turned her head to look at the peach blossoms outside the window. Everyone had a peach blossom in their hand. Instantly, she shook her head like a rattle-drum in resistance.
"I'm still young, I don't want to settle down."
Lu Lingjun smiled, casually conjured a peach blossom, and handed it to Gu Yanjing: "Take it."
Gu Yan stared at the peach blossoms, completely bewildered: "Didn't you say we can't accept other people's peach blossoms?"
"Could Brother Lingjun be anyone else?" Lu Lingjun stuffed the peach blossoms into Gu Yanjing's arms and told him to hold them.
Gu Yanjing thought about it and agreed, so she didn't put it down.
I'm hungry, I need to eat more tonight.
The city lights are all lit up for one person, and everyone knows who it is for. Some people are envious, some are jealous; such is the nature of human nature.
However, in Gu Yanjing's eyes, none of this could compare to the candied hawthorn in front of him.
He hadn't had enough of the candied hawthorns from yesterday, even though they were all eaten.
"Two skewers, please." Gu Yanjing took out a coin, counted out ten, and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"No need, one skewer is enough. Don't eat too much, or your teeth will hurt." Lu Lingjun reached out and held Gu Yanjing's small hand, smiling as he counted out five coins.
So gentle that one can't bear to criticize him.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Gu Yan blinked in surprise.
I was fighting with him over candied hawthorns just yesterday.
"I don't like sweets." Lu Lingjun shook his head with a smile, a look in his eyes that Gu Yanjing couldn't understand.
Gu Yanjing looked at Lu Lingjun with suspicion, then bought a candied hawthorn and put it in his mouth.
Yes, it's the flavor he likes, sweet and sour, very appetizing. I can't wait to eat my way through the whole street.
However, Gu Yan turned his head and looked at the boy who was holding his hand and taking a bite of the candied hawthorn. His confusion was overflowing.
With a candied hawthorn in his mouth, Lu Lingjun squeezed Gu Yanjing's still chubby little hand: "Zhuque is eating so deliciously, it makes me drool. Can I have one, Lingjun-gege?"
Gu Yan's hands went limp, and she almost dropped the candied hawthorn.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little flustered and blushed.
"Then Brother Lingjun, you eat. I'll go buy something else." Gu Yanjing took a deep breath. Completely inexperienced in handling this situation, she hurriedly broke free from Lu Lingjun's hand and walked away quickly.
Lu Lingjun, holding a candied hawthorn, watched the boy's flustered back and smiled contentedly.
That's exactly what I wanted. He would panic, feel something was different, and unconsciously distance himself, so that his Vermilion Bird would understand that they weren't true brothers, nor would they be brothers for life.
They could have a different kind of relationship.
For example, intimate and inseparable Daoist couples.
However, before thinking about all this, he probably had a headache about the Heavenly Emperor who doted on Zhuque the most. He wondered if the beauty in the coffin could distract the Heavenly Emperor.
The excitement started abruptly, or perhaps it was always exciting from the beginning.
Gu Yanjing had a pretty peach blossom hairpin at the back of his head, which made the young man look very handsome. Many young girls, regardless of whether the young man was older than them, took the peach blossom and tried to stuff it into Gu Yanjing's arms.
Gu Yan was so startled that he almost dropped the snack in his hand.
Lu Lingjun sighed. He had gone to great lengths to protect the boy, but the group of girls had taken a liking to him instead.
In the girls' own words...
"Such a handsome young man, I'd be happy just to take one of them home, who cares who he is."
