Chapter 111 Too Clingy
Jiang Fei blinked, reacted belatedly, looked down at the water bag in her hand, and was a little afraid to look up.
First there was the ambiguous kiss, and then she drank Pei Jing's water. Now she seemed unable to face Pei Jing calmly.
Oh my God! She came to Jinglian Temple to purify her mind, not to have a tryst, so how come she ran into him here? Is this what they call bad fate?
She secretly raised her eyes, and when their eyes met, they turned their heads away at the same time. Only when they looked away did Jiang Fei suddenly react.
She didn't know that they kissed that day, and she was very calm at the time, so now she just has to pretend that she still doesn't know. As long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Having made up his mind, Jiang Fei wiped his mouth, threw the water bag to Duan Jiu, waved towards the mountain and said, "Let's go, the two of you don't disturb my sleep."
"Sleeping?" Pei Jing raised his voice a little and looked at the big rock under her. "Here?"
"I didn't say I was going to sleep with you. I was going to sleep alone." Jiang Fei spoke faster than her brain, and after she finished speaking, she felt like sewing her mouth.
Pei Jing's ears turned red. "You are a woman, how can you keep talking like that..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Fei simply lay down on the stone as if no one was around. Pei Jing's eyes immediately swept over Duan Jiu, who immediately turned his back and didn't dare to look at him again.
"Well, I'll go up the mountain to prepare first." After saying that, he ran away.
The mountain path became quiet, with only the sound of Jiang Fei's unsteady breathing.
Pei Jing looked at the person lying on the stone with his arms and legs spread out, feeling speechless and helpless.
"What if someone passes by while you're lying here?"
Jiang Fei closed her eyes and remained motionless. "People passing by will think I'm dead, so they won't be so tactless as to disturb me like someone did. They might even give me flowers."
Pei Jing: "..."
What's wrong with this girl's head? What does she think about all day?
"Jiang Rufei." The voice became two degrees deeper.
Jiang Fei opened one eye and asked, "What?"
"This is not a place to sleep. Go up the mountain to sleep."
Jiang Fei was so annoyed by his noise that she turned over and sat up. "Why do you control me? I can do whatever I want here. You can't even control me if I want to take a shit here."
Pei Jing closed his eyes, and Jiang Fei clearly saw his chest rise and fall, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.
Yes! That’s right. It’s best if you can’t stand me anymore and my favorability plummets.
Jiang Fei was daydreaming when she saw Pei Jing open his eyes, lean over, grab her arms and pull her up.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Even if I have to poop, I have to go to the mountains."
It's over, even the Mad King was led astray by her.
…
Duan Jiu took care of everything on the mountain, and Pei Jing came back not long after. Duan Jiu was a little surprised, as he thought he would be delayed for some time because of meeting Miss Jiang Er.
"The prince is back so soon."
Pei Jing obviously looked in a good mood. Duan Jiu didn't know what had happened. He regretted leaving so early. He should have found a place to hide and eavesdrop, but the prince had very good hearing and it would be easy to be discovered.
I don't know what Pei Jing was thinking about, but he suddenly curled his lips and chuckled, "She has short arms and legs, but I didn't expect her to run so fast."
Duan Jiu didn't know what happened at that time, so he tried to ask: "Why did Miss Jiang Er run away?"
Pei Jing was just crossing the threshold when he glanced at him sideways, his eyes seeming to indicate that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Duan Jiu seemed to understand. Miss Jiang Er drank the prince's water, so...
"Is Miss Jiang Er shy?"
Pei Jing raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally, "You're talking too much."
Duan Jiu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. The prince's reaction clearly showed that he had been thinking about it.
Pei Jing remembered Jiang Fei running wildly in the woods with her skirt lifted up.
Although her posture was not very dignified, she was still lovely. Who said that noble ladies in the capital had to be well-behaved? He felt that such a true nature was better.
"It's just..." He said what he was thinking without realizing it.
Duan Jiu pricked up his ears, "Just what?"
Pei Jing was slightly distressed, "She's just a little too clingy. As soon as I left the capital, she followed me."
"What?" Duan Jiu's expression was hard to describe.
I don’t know if the prince has any misunderstanding about the word “clingy”. If he remembers correctly, Miss Jiang Er should be in front of them.
Duan Jiu couldn't help but remind him, "Your Highness, it seems that Miss Jiang Er arrived before us."
"That's right." Pei Jing affirmed, but his next sentence surprised Duan Jiu.
"She's quite fast, she actually ran ahead of me."
Duan Jiu: “…”
Okay, give up, don't try to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
This is another mountain top. Looking up, the red walls of Jinglian Temple are faintly visible in the half-hidden clouds.
Pei Jing looked into the distance and suddenly asked, "Are there any spies of ours in the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion?"
His thoughts raced so fast that Duan Jiu almost didn't react. "Yes."
"Let our informant find a chance to take another look at Wei Ciying's right shoulder to see if the birthmark was painted on or just a coincidence."
Duan Jiu hurriedly said, "The spy is a man, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to sneak into Miss Wei's courtyard. Since Wen Zhu is back, why not let her find a chance to sneak in and take a look."
Pei Jing hesitated for a moment, "I have other plans for Wen Zhu. Besides, since the incident with Jiang Linyuan, the Dingyuan Marquisate has strengthened its defenses, and Wen Zhu will be easily exposed."
"Then I'll find another way." Duan Jiu nodded. "But I still can't figure it out. Your Highness has already confirmed the birthmark. How did you determine through those few questions that Miss Wei isn't the person you're looking for?"
There was silence for a moment. Just when Duan Jiu thought that the prince would not answer, Pei Jing spoke.
"Since she is the biological daughter of Marquis Dingyuan and not adopted, then she is not Caoya. Caoya is an orphan just like me."
Pei Jing looked into the distance. He always remembered that when he was just brought back to the dilapidated temple, it was the girl's words that made him let down his guard. She said she was also an orphan.
Since we are both wanderers in this world, let’s depend on each other.
"Wei Ciying is too anxious, and haste can easily reveal flaws." Pei Jing added, "Intentional leaks of information, chance encounters during illness, mumblings during coma—one can be considered a coincidence, but too many are deliberate. This prince never believes such coincidences exist."
Duan Jiu finally understood, but couldn't help but ask, "Since Your Majesty doesn't believe in coincidences, why did you and Miss Jiang run into each other so many times..."
Pei Jing turned around and said, "So it can't be a coincidence. Since she has seen the three hundred tricks to pursue the prince, she must have many methods."
Duan Jiu almost choked on his own saliva. The prince's logic... is simply impeccable!
Is there a possibility that it was really just a coincidence?
"Then..." Duan Jiu asked cautiously, "How does the prince plan to deal with Miss Jiang Er?"
"Of course, we'll just take advantage of their trick." Pei Jing stood with his hands behind his back. "By the way, did you find the notebook?"
Duan Jiutou was very upset. "Not yet. I've searched all the bookstores and markets in the capital, but no one has heard of this book."
"Could it be..." Pei Jing paused and said, "Secret book?"
