Pei You, no longer the aloof and handsome man, lowered his voice and chuckled, "I've long heard that girls from the North are tall and have long legs, and I've always longed to see them for myself. Now that I finally have the chance to see them for myself, how could I miss it?"
Zu An's expression was strange. This guy appeared as a reclusive teenager in front of outsiders, but he was incredibly flirtatious with his close friends. There's a word to describe him, right? Yes, it's called "closet flirtatious." Many of his classmates in his previous life were like that, which made him feel particularly close to them.
"This trip to Yunzhong County may not be smooth sailing." Zu'an couldn't say many things directly these days, so he could only offer subtle reminders.
Gao Ying replied, "Brother Zu, don't worry. We're not exactly spoiled brats, and we certainly won't hold you back. In fact, we might even be of some help."
Zu An thought about it and agreed. Both of them were peak sixth-rank experts, already outstanding at their age. Moreover, they had the Liu and Pei families behind them, which were powerful allies no matter how you looked at it.
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!" A clear voice called out from not far away. A handsome young man was waving at Zu'an.
Zu An smiled knowingly and hurriedly went to greet her: "You Zhao, what brings you here?"
Seeing Murong Qinghe beside her, she smiled and nodded at her, saying, "Hello, Qinghe."
"Hello, Brother Zu." Murong Qinghe responded gracefully, but her attention quickly returned to Chu Youzhao. She thought to herself that Brother Chu was really handsome, and no other man could compare to him.
Gao Ying nudged Pei You secretly: "Tsk tsk tsk, you've been outdone by them."
“When Miss Chu came to the capital back then, she attracted the admiration of countless princes and noblemen. With such a stunningly beautiful older sister, how could her younger brother be anything less?” Pei You said dismissively. “Besides, when has a real man ever relied on his looks to win someone over?”
Gao Ying looked envious, thinking to herself, "Of course you don't have these worries because you're handsome. It's us ordinary-looking people who have so many troubles."
However, he was also an open-minded person and quickly recovered from his negative emotions.
On the other side, Chu Youzhao's eyes were like crescent moons: "Brother-in-law is going on a long trip, of course I had to come to see him off. Here, these are the warm clothes I prepared for you. It's cold up north, so you should wear more; these are pastries from Deshenglou, you can eat them if you get hungry on the road; these are..."
As she stuffed various things into his hands, Zu An felt a warm glow in his heart; it felt so good to be cared for.
"Thank you, but this isn't really like you." However, Zu'an quickly realized something was wrong. Although Chu Youzhao was a girl, she was raised as a boy from a young age and was very carefree. How could she be so meticulous?
Chu Youzhao's expression was somewhat unnatural, but she finally told the truth: "Qinghe helped me prepare many things, such as your clothing size and such..."
Murong Qinghe blushed and said, "I was just helping Brother Chu."
Zu An was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Murong Qinghe, this tomboy, would also have such a thoughtful side. It seemed that girls really were girls. In comparison, Chu Youzhao was just a complete goofball.
"Anyway, thank you all. When I come back from Yunzhong County, I'll bring you some fun things from there." As soon as the words left his mouth, Zu'an wanted to slap himself twice. Why did it feel like he was planting a flag? Pui pui pui, children say the darndest things.
"Yay!" Chu Youzhao exclaimed excitedly. Murong Qinghe, on the other hand, didn't care. As long as her brother Chu was happy, she was happy too.
On the other side, Gao Ying was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't the old master of the Murong family lose his official position because of his grandfather? How come the eldest daughter of the Murong family seems to have a very good relationship with her grandfather?"
"My ancestor's charm is extraordinary. Even the most beautiful courtesan in the capital, Miss Nanxun, is fond of him. How much more so would a little girl from the Murong family be?" Pei You was filled with envy when he talked about this. They were witnesses at the time, and the impact was too strong.
“I think Murong Qinghe is quite pretty. Although she’s a bit dark-skinned, she’s clearly a beauty in the making. In a few years, she might not be any less beautiful than Nan Xun,” Gao Ying commented, stroking her chin.
When is it easiest for a man to build a closer relationship?
Of course, this is when talking about women.
The two had gone through life and death together in the secret realm and visited the Red Sleeve Pavilion together several times. Now they were truly best friends. They would never speak like this in public, but in private, there was no need for them to maintain their usual image in front of each other.
"Huh?" Pei You touched his arm, looking disgusted. "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Gao Ying was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage: "You bastard, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant. I like the kind of girls with big breasts and a perky butt. We've been to Hongxiuzhao together a few times, don't you know my tastes?!"
Pei You reminded him, "Keep your voice down, or your reputation will be ruined if someone hears you."
Gao Ying looked around and, sure enough, saw someone looking in the direction of the sound. She couldn't help but blush.
Just then, Pei You suddenly whistled: "Hey, a beautiful girl?"
"Where?" Gao Ying followed his gaze and saw a woman in a green dress walking gracefully in the distance. Her hair was styled in the most elegant and beautiful way, and she exuded a gentle and graceful aura.
A person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance!
For some reason, the same sentence popped into their minds at the same time.
The other person's appearance was not bad, although she was very beautiful. However, these young masters from aristocratic families were used to seeing beautiful women in the capital. What was really refreshing to them was the gentle, scholarly air about her.
“This is the kind of woman who is suitable to be married and brought home as a virtuous wife,” Pei You couldn’t help but sigh.
