As Chu Qinghe slowly sipped his water, Qu Feiyan, looking at the man sitting next to her, couldn't help but ask, "Hey! Why are you sitting over here with us?"
Hearing the voice, the man next to him smiled and said, "Aren't all the tables around here occupied? When you're traveling, you should get together!"
As he spoke, the man glanced at Chu Qinghe.
It was just a casual glance, but when the man's gaze fell on Chu Qinghe, he couldn't help but be stunned by Chu Qinghe's handsome and almost flawless face.
At the same time, the man carrying the gourd couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.
Feeling this, the man's brows furrowed, and a growing sense of jealousy, accompanied by a hint of coldness, filled his eyes.
Sensing the man's sudden change, Chu Qinghe was somewhat speechless.
"Well, they've actually held a grudge against me."
As for the reason, the obvious envy, jealousy, and hatred in the other party's eyes were all too clear.
Suddenly, Chu Qinghe understood what it meant to be burdened by beauty.
Just like now, Chu Qinghe was sitting there, but just because someone glanced at him, he was resented.
However, when her gaze fell on the man's face, Chu Qinghe sighed softly and forgave the man's resentment towards her.
Just as Chu Qinghe was secretly admiring his own good looks, the man beside him suddenly spoke up: "Tsk tsk, this young master's appearance is truly rare in this world, something to be envied!"
As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling.
Faced with the praise of being the man, Chu Qinghe nodded politely and said, "You're too kind."
After Chu Qinghe responded, the man said quietly, "It's a pity. If I had such an outstanding appearance as you, young master, I'm afraid I would attract many girls, and I wouldn't have to be so humble when facing women like I am now."
Chu Qinghe glanced at the man's face, pondered for a few moments, and then comforted him, "Men, when facing a woman they like, how can they talk about being humble or not?"
Instead, Qu Feiyan, looking at the man carrying the gourd, couldn't help but ask, "What despicable things have you done? Tell me?"
The man said nonchalantly, "It's nothing. I was poor before, and I look like this, so no woman wanted to be with me. I couldn't get a wife, so I could only mooch off my neighbors."
"puff!"
However, just as these words were spoken, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but spit out the tea she had just drunk.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, the tea would probably have sprayed directly onto Chu Qinghe's face.
Immediately afterwards, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but cough violently.
Leaving aside Qu Feiyan, even Chu Qinghe's expression became strange as he listened to the words of the man carrying a gourd beside him.
Because no woman wanted to be with him, he started mooching off the neighbors. That's not being humble, that's being despicable!
With a strange expression, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but wonder if he should explain to the person in front of him just how big the difference was between despicable and lowly.
After calming down, Qu Feiyan looked at the man sitting opposite her and said, "You're quite humorous."
Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's words, the man smiled.
However, before the man carrying the gourd could speak, Chu Qinghe suddenly put down his teacup and said, "It's getting late, Feiyan, you should go home soon!"
Before Qu Feiyan could respond, Chu Qinghe smiled at the man and said, "There are people waiting at home, please enjoy your meal."
After speaking, Chu Qinghe gestured to Qu Feiyan.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan took out some copper coins from her money bag, placed them on the table, and then quickly left with Chu Qinghe.
After the two men left, the man carrying the gourd slowly raised his head and sniffed the air, his face revealing a look of intoxication.
A few breaths later, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the man's face.
"Hey, I didn't expect to meet such a pretty girl just now. To find such a beautiful girl in such a small place, I'm really lucky. I can enjoy the blessing of having two women tonight."
But as soon as he uttered the words, Chu Qinghe's handsome and gentle face appeared in Tian Boguang's mind again, causing Tian Boguang's face to involuntarily fall down.
"Damn it, God is really biased. Why is that pretty boy so good-looking, while I look like this?"
As he spoke, the man carrying the gourd muttered, "I wonder how many women this guy has seduced. I'll just slash this pretty boy's face tonight and then kill him."
After muttering a few words to himself, the man picked up the snacks on the table and began to eat them in large bites.
While eating, he muttered again, "Damn it, those women in the Divine Water Palace are really stingy. I just kidnapped one woman for fun, and they chased me all the way from the north to this southwest."
.........
On the street, after leaving the street where the tea stall was located, Qu Feiyan asked in a low voice, "Young master, was there anything wrong with that person just now?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and said calmly, "If there are no surprises, that guy should be a womanizer."
"Flower thief?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan's face froze for a moment, then she asked, "Young Master, how do you know that he's a womanizer?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "That guy has a sleeping potion scent on him, and it also contains some aphrodisiac herbs. It's obviously a special sleeping potion that only a womanizer would use."
"And he even followed you all the way here. Is it that hard to guess that he's a flower thief?"
Qu Feiyan was intelligent, and after taking in what Chu Qinghe said, she immediately understood.
"Oh right! I saw that guy in the north of the city, more than ten streets away from here. I just got here, young master, and he followed me. So, he's been following me all the way here?"
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "So, in the future, if you encounter someone who looks strange, stay away from them."
Qu Feiyan first pouted and nodded, then quickly turned her head to look behind her as if she remembered something.
After realizing she hadn't seen the man carrying the gourd, Qu Feiyan turned around and asked, "Strange, since that guy was following me the whole way, why isn't he following me anymore?"
Chu Qinghe patted Qu Feiyan's head and said, "Why are you still following us? Yushui City is only so big. If it were just you alone, of course we would follow you, but if there are two of you, you can just ask around. Do you really need to follow us?"
Touching the spot where Chu Qinghe had just patted her, Qu Feiyan glanced at Chu Qinghe and then said from the bottom of her heart, "Indeed, young master, you have lived in Yushui City since you were a child, so you are indeed more recognizable."
