…
As soon as Qiao Jin finished speaking, someone came in, followed by a girl in green.
She was the one Yu Chi and the others saw under the Yinghua Tower. She still had a peaceful face. When she saw Yu Chi in the lobby, she just tilted her head. Finally, she smiled slightly and turned to salute the city lord.
She said nothing. Qiao Jin helped her sit aside, settled her down, and personally served her tea.
Yu Chi then realized something was wrong.
This girl didn’t say a word from beginning to end. She even bowed slightly to salute the city lord.
Could it be that, in addition to being deaf, she is also unable to speak?
Feng Wuqing didn't meet Qiao Jin very often, less than half as many times as he met Qiao Yu.
But the two were of similar age.
The reason why they met less often was because once the two families got together, the first person Feng Wuqing looked for was Qiao Yu.
It had been like this since he was a child, because Qiao Yu would teach him many things, such as reading and writing.
Although they met less often, their feelings had not faded at all.
Feng Wuqing's personality was more stable than Qiao Jin's.
After sitting in the lobby for a while, City Lord Qiao left, under the pretext of not disturbing them, the young people, to talk.
After all, they couldn't let go with an adult sitting upstairs.
Before leaving, he asked someone to arrange a room for Feng Wuqing and Yu Chi.
When City Lord Qiao was instructing about the two rooms, Feng Wuqing called him Uncle Qiao. When City Lord Qiao looked over, he held up two fingers.
"Two rooms are enough."
City Lord Qiao was stunned.
"Two rooms?"
His eyes turned from Feng Wuqing to Yu Chi and Gu Jue. The young man in blue looked like he was the master's bodyguard, right? He
had a sword on his waist, but sometimes they both behaved like they were not master and servant.
Could it be that he was just a bodyguard and I was overthinking it?
Was this young man going to guard the door for the master at night?
He turned to Feng Wuqing.
"Does Wuqing know these two?"
Feng Wuqing nodded.
"Yes."
He thought for a moment and added.
"Pretty familiar."
Seeing that he was so confident, City Lord Qiao did not doubt him and gave instructions to the servants beside him.
"Prepare two rooms."
Yu Chi had no objection throughout the whole process and quietly accepted the arrangement of City Lord Qiao.
Gu Jue, on the other hand, looked at Feng Wuqing and received a look from Feng Wuqing that said "I did a good job, didn't I?"
He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and moved closer to Yu Chi.
"Feng Wuqing..."
Yu Chi tilted his head towards Gu Jue.
"His vision has always been very good."
He raised his eyes and met Feng Wuqing's expression of "I understand you", and smiled with narrowed eyes.
As soon as City Lord Qiao left, Qiao Jin immediately hooked Feng Wuqing's neck and said that he would invite Feng Wuqing to have a meal at the largest Yinghua Tower in Luoyang City.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl in green behind him bent her fingers and knocked on the armrest of the chair.
Qiao Jin became obedient immediately and retracted her hand in dismay.
Feng Wuqing found it funny and brushed Qiao Jin away gently, then saluted the girl in green.
"How are you, Miss Jiangli?"
Jiangli lowered her eyes and smiled softly, emitting a warm and gentle temperament. Her smile was very gentle.
She stood up and approached Feng Wuqing, helped Feng Wuqing up, and gently touched his head.
Then she took out a small purse from her sleeve, opened the purse, and took out two pieces of maltose wrapped in paper and gave them to him.
Feng Wuqing was visibly happy when he saw the maltose, and he happily showed off the two pieces of maltose to Qiao Jin.
The candy given by Miss Jiangli was delicious, with a sweet taste with a faint floral scent.
When Feng Wuqing first tasted it, he never forgot the taste, but he couldn't find it after running
all over Mingyue City. When he saw it again later, he went to all the candy shops and snack shops in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.
None of them had the malt candy that Miss Jiangli gave him.
Later, he learned that this was made by Miss Jiangli herself, and there wasn't much.
But every time he saw Miss Jiangli, she would give him two pieces.
Jiangli gestured again and asked Feng Wuqing.
[Your brother is Wuyou.]
Feng Wuqing could understand, he pursed his lips, and told Jiangli while gesturing.
"My brother is gone."
Jiangli was stunned, as if he didn't understand what he meant. Feng Wuqing didn't know particularly complicated sign language, and when he was thinking about how to explain, Jiangli lowered her eyes.
She stroked Feng Wuqing's face with her hand. Feng Wuqing looked up at her, only to see a trace of worry between her brows.
She took her hand back and gave him two more pieces of maltose.
[What a pity. I'll give you his two pieces as well.]
Feng Wuqing looked at the two extra pieces of maltose in his palm, and his body stiffened slightly.
Miss Jiangli has always been very gentle.
"Thank you, Miss Jiangli."
Qiao Jin looked at the candies in Feng Wuqing's hand and felt a little jealous. He had never gotten two pieces at once.
Only Feng Wuqing and Feng Wuyou could get two pieces of candy every time they came!
He secretly moved closer to Jiangli. Jiangli saw his little move and smiled and took one for him.
Then he walked up to Gu Jue, stared at him for a long time, and took out two candies for him. Gu Jue didn't expect that he
still had some. He was a little nervous when he reached out to take them.
"Thank you, thank you."
Jiang Li touched his head.
Gu Jue shrank his neck, a little embarrassed, but Miss Jiang Li turned around and came to Yu Chi.
Yu Chi paused in drinking tea and looked up at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li still gave him two pieces of candy.
Yu Chi took it.
"Me too?"
Jiang Li understood his lip shape, nodded with a smile, and touched his head.
Yu Chi's body froze visibly, and Gu Jue found him funny when he saw him like this.
Miss Jiang Li put away her purse, as if she was about to leave. When she reached the door, she turned around and glanced at Qiao Jin.
She pointed at Qiao Jin and gestured.
[You, be obedient. Qiao Jin
nodded repeatedly, and Miss Jiangli still didn't believe it, but she turned around and left.
Qiao Jin breathed a sigh of relief after she left.
Gu Jue approached Yu Chi, put his hands on his chin and asked him.
"How does it feel to be touched on the head?"
"It feels weird, like an elder touching a child's head."
Yu Chi was a little helpless.
Indeed, when this Miss Jiangli touched their heads, the loving energy was about to overflow.
"Did you see it?"
Gu Jue leaned close to Yu Chi's ear and asked quietly. When asking this question, he also glanced at Feng Wuqing and Qiao Jin at the side.
"Yeah, I saw it."
Yu Chi responded, but he was at a distance outside the Yinghua Tower and couldn't see clearly.
In this lobby, he felt it as soon as Jiang Li came in.
This Miss Jiang Li is a demon, not a human.
But her demonic aura is very pure, and it is difficult for people to have any bad intentions.
The reason why it is so quiet is that although there is the incident with Mingze, Feng Wuqing may not have any prejudice against this inhuman thing.
But they don’t understand what Qiao Jin thinks.
It is also to protect Miss Jiang Li.
Whether it is words, deeds or temperament, they did not feel any malice from Miss Jiang Li. On the contrary, there is only the purest kindness.
She can live so safely in Luoyang City, probably because she has been staying in the City Lord’s Mansion?
Yu Chi gave the two pieces of candy in his hand to Gu Jue. Gu Jue opened one and put it in his mouth. It was sweet and not greasy.
A light floral scent filled his taste buds. It was delicious!
"Don't you want to try it? It's delicious."
Yu Chi shook his head.
"Keep it."
Gu Jue took out his small bag, poured out the few taels of silver inside, and put the candy in.
He threw the silver to Yu Chi.
Yu Chi raised his eyebrows while holding the silver.
"You don't want the silver anymore?"
Gu Jue put the small bag back.
"It doesn't matter whether I put it here or you."
Anyway, Yu Chi was responsible for all the food, drink, clothing and housing. He had basically nowhere to spend the silver.
Even the candied haws and sugar cakes on the roadside were all paid for by Yu Chi.
Gu Jue approached Yu Chi again and asked him with a smile.
"Besides, aren't you afraid that I will use the money you gave me to find a girl?"
Yu Chi found it funny.
"Not to mention which girl would be interested in your few pieces of silver, if you don't want to get out of bed, just go find one."
The red eyes stared straight into Gu Jue's eyes, and Gu Jue saw a flash of dangerous light from them.
"Don't let me know if you go there, you have to understand that the eyeliner of Jiyue Pavilion covers a lot."
Yu Chi stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of himself and Gu Jue.
Gu Jue grabbed Yu Chi's hand, pulled it to his lips, and kissed his fingertips lightly.
"Wild flowers are not as fragrant as home-grown flowers."
His heart was filled with Yu Chi.
Feng Wuqing was already used to it, but Qiao Jin was so shocked by the two of them that she opened her mouth for a long time without saying a word, and was almost petrified.
After a long time, she trembled and pointed at the two people.
"Do they think there is no one around?"
Feng Wuqing waved his hand, with an expression that said, "I think two rooms are enough.
" "Probably, should, perhaps, possible?"
