Chapter 79 Pear Blossoms

The noise was deafening, and the fireworks were not over yet.

Because they found it interesting, more and more people joined the girls, and for no other reason than to have fun.

Feng Wuqing saw a very nice mask, took it in his hand and looked at it, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Jue and Yu Chi running towards him at full speed.

Just as he was about to wave, Gu Jue pulled Yu Chi past him, and the footsteps behind were chaotic and shaking.

Feng Wuqing quickly stepped aside after seeing such a large group of people, which scared him.

"Oh my god."

What did these two do to be chased by so many people.

Qiao Qing followed City Lord Qiao out, and when he saw this scene, he shouted that he wanted to go together, but was taken back by City Lord Qiao.

When they passed Yi Luo and Bai Heng, they were surprised at first, then smiled at each other, and asked Gu Jue and Yu Chi to run faster.

Finally, Gu Jue pulled Yu Chi into a narrow alley when turning a corner, and the two of them were very close. They

could even hear each other's breathing.

The crowd ran over, and they listened to the voices gradually fading away, until everything around them became quiet, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

The light of the fireworks illuminated

the alley for a moment. Gu Jue looked at Yu Chi's face and said something with a smirk.

"Attracting bees and butterflies."

Yu Chi raised his hand to tidy up his messy hair.

"Do you smell it?"

Gu Jue was confused.

"What?"

Yu Chi chuckled.

"Such a strong smell of vinegar."

Yu Chi was born good-looking, and that face was too beautiful, which easily attracted other people's attention.

Gu Jue didn't expect this situation tonight. If he had known earlier, he should have asked this person to wear a mask.

Facing Yu Chi's ridicule, Gu Jue "snorted", turned around and walked out.

Yu Chi asked him.

"Where are you going?"

Gu Jue said angrily.

"Go back."

He had just taken two steps when he was grabbed by the back of the collar and was led back until his back was in Yu Chi's arms.

Fireworks exploded in the sky at that moment. The hand holding the back of his collar slid to his neck, pressed his face to one side, and his lips touched a slightly cool softness.

The cold fragrance surrounded him, his teeth were pried open, and he was forced to endure the kiss.

When Yu Chi finally let him go, he took two deep breaths before he recovered.

In his hand was the white camellia. Yu Chi lifted his wrist and put the camellia to the tip of his nose.

"Aren't you going to give it to me, Gu Jue?"

During the Rose Goddess Festival, if you like someone, you can give the flower to the other person on this day. If the other person accepts it, he will give you the flower in his hand.

This is to form a bond.

Gu Jue held the flower branch, held Yu Chi's hand and put the flower into Yu Chi's hand.

"For you."

It was originally intended to be a gift for Yu Chi.

But Yu Chi put the flower back into his hand, leaned forward, and bowed to Gu Jue.

"Put it in my hair."

Gu Jue obediently inserted the white camellia into Yu Chi's hair.

Yu Chi asked him.

"Does it look good?"

The alley was dark, and they blended into the night. From the outside, no one would know that there were two people hiding here.

The fireworks had already been set off, and there was no light shining in, but Gu Jue had good night vision and looked into Yu Chi's eyes.

He said.

"It looks good."

Then he stretched out his hand to Yu Chi.

"Where's mine?"

Yu Chi chuckled twice, his voice was low and he seemed to be somewhat pleased.

He put the gardenia in his hand to his mouth and bit the stem. He

moved closer to Gu Jue with the scent of gardenia.

"If you want it, come and get it yourself." Gu Jue stretched out his hand

, but was grabbed by Yu Chi and couldn't get away. Yu Chi's eyes were smiling with temptation.

His meaning was already very obvious, and Gu Jue guessed it. Yu Chi wanted him to take it with his mouth. He opened his lips slightly and moved closer to Yu Chi. When he was about to bite, Yu Chi loosened his mouth and the gardenia fell from his mouth and was caught by Gu Jue's quick eyes and hands. But Yu Chi suddenly grabbed the back of Gu Jue's neck, and their lips pressed together, deepening the kiss. When their lips parted, their foreheads touched. Yu Chi's hand stroked Gu Jue's face, and his fingertips brushed across Gu Jue's lips, wiping off the crystal on his lips. "Want to go shopping again?" Gu Jue nodded and said yes. Yu Chi chuckled, took his hand, interlocked their fingers and led him out. Gu Jue didn't move, but he still held the gardenia in his other hand and pointed at himself. "Your face." Yu Chi paused, and took out a silver mask from his arms, put it on his face, just covering the upper half of his face. "Is this okay?" "Yeah." In fact, there are many people who come to see Yu Chi on weekdays, but today is a special day, and he doesn't want to be chased again when he goes out with Yu Chi. They held each other's hands tightly. Yu Chi told Gu Jue to rest assured. There was no room for another person in his heart. There would only be Gu Jue and only Gu Jue. Because Gu Jue was special and unique. Finally, he kissed Gu Jue's forehead with care and piety. Gu Jue's heart trembled slightly.

At least Yu Chi knew in his heart that he had fallen for Gu Jue. In the years to come, in this life, Gu Jue would be the only exception in his heart.

She was the person he was willing to bow down to forever.

...

The night was dark, and the people on the streets of Luoyang City gradually dispersed. Qiao Jin watched the fireworks in the city return to silence.

He packed up the empty wine vat beside him and went down from the roof of Yinghua Tower.

He was drunk.

Even his steps were a little shaky. Holding a branch of pear blossoms tightly in his hand, he walked through the quiet streets alone and returned to the City Lord's Mansion. There

were only two green lamps lit in his yard, which was particularly deserted, with only the moonlight shining down.

He passed by the spring scenery in the garden, stopped in front of the three peonies, and brushed his fingers over the leaves of the middle one.

His mind was not very clear, and he saw double. Finally, he placed the branch of pear blossom in front of the middle tree.

He fell asleep in the garden. There were gentle footsteps stopping in front of him, but he did not hear them.

The faint and familiar fragrance of flowers lingered at his nose. His deeply buried memories seemed to be a little loose after being drunk, but he could not remember them after all, and finally returned to silence.

Under the moonlight, Jiang Li, who was dressed in green, helped him up from the ground.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy. Qiao Jin slept in this yard for one night. If she woke up tomorrow, she might catch a cold. Jiang

Li sent Qiao Jin into the house and settled her down. When he came out, he saw the branch of pear blossom placed in front of his real body.

She stopped to admire it for a long time, and finally picked it up and took it back.

If I give it to her, it will be hers, right?

When Qiao Jin woke up, his head was groggy, and the servants in the yard had already started to get busy.

He caught a glimpse of the peony flowers from the corner of his eye. There was nothing there. He remembered that the pear blossoms were placed there last night.

Did he remember it wrong?

He took the bucket and wooden ladle from the servant and watered the one in the middle.

For some reason, the two plants on the side grew very well, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and a large cluster of flowers.

Only the one in the middle was very small, and it had hardly grown over the years.

The leaves brushed against his body and suddenly stopped. It was a little different from the ones next to him.

The leaves next to it were round and split at the tip, but the leaves of the one in his hand were thin and not split.

Wasn't the variety of white peony that his father found for him the same?

After watering, he returned the wooden barrel to the servant and planned to ask his father.

When passing by Jiang Li's house, he caught a glimpse of a branch of pear blossom in the white jade bottle on the table in front of Jiang Li's window. It was the branch he brought back last night.

Why was he so sure? Because one of the branches of that pear blossom was broken when he was drunk, and now it was facing Qiao Jin.

Qiao Jin pursed his lips and left. Halfway, he met Gu Jue who was yawning. He stood at the door and rubbed his waist.

"Morning, Second Master Qiao."

Qiao Jin saw that there was a faint dark spot under his eyes and greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Master Gu Jue, did you not sleep well last night?"

Gu Jue's body stiffened, and he laughed it off.

"I went to bed a little late, where are you going?"

It was true that he went to bed late. After he came back last night, someone pressed him and did it several times. Poor his waist, it was a sin, it was going to kill him.

But when he woke up in the morning, that person was not there, and no one knew where he had gone. There

was only a bowl of pear soup left on the table with a note on it.

Telling him that he was going out for a while and would be back soon, and not to worry if he couldn't find anyone.

Qiao Jin in front of him was neatly dressed and looked very busy, and her purpose seemed very clear.

"I'm going to see my dad and ask him something, and then I'm going to see Bai Heng and the others off."

"Are they leaving today?"

"Well, after all, they've stayed until now just for the Luoshen Flower Festival. Now that the Flower Goddess Festival is over, they're going to set off."

"When are they leaving?"

"After lunch, do you want to go together?"

Gu Jue thought about it, and since he had nothing to do anyway, he asked a little maid to tell her that if Yu Chi came back, he should tell Yu Chi that he and Qiao Jin were going to see Miss Yi Luo and Master Bai Heng

off. After he had given the instructions, he followed Qiao Jin.

"Do you two have to tell each other about your itinerary every time you go somewhere?" They

have such a good relationship.

Gu Jue was confused by what Qiao Jin said, and he thought it was natural.

"Of course, otherwise he won't be able to find me and will be worried."

The last incident at the Wulin League left a shadow on both Yu Chi and Gu Jue.

One was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find me and would not be able to go in time.

The other was afraid that the other would use his internal force and the poison would take effect when he was in danger.
