Chapter 168 Because he's handsome!
Su Wanwan tilted her head up and whispered in his ear, "That's because Professor Xie kissed me too hard, my legs went weak."
Xie Yanning's expression froze for a moment.
"I concede."
Su Wanwan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
On the way, Xie Yanning introduced some local customs and traditions to Su Wanwan, mentioning that on the way to the neighboring ancient town, they would pass by the small pond where fireworks were set off at night.
Calling it a small pond is an understatement; it's actually a very large lake, almost endless.
I saw a person by the lake.
One of them stood there, looking at the lake, occasionally throwing a couple of stones into it.
Su Wanwan said, "That person wouldn't..."
"...You're overthinking it. That's Chen Qingtang, the one Xie Yan'an was just talking about who would have his legs broken if he couldn't find a wife to come back to." He's also a good friend of Xie Yanning, but this guy went abroad a long time ago, and I don't know why he came back this year.
"..." Su Wanwan concluded, "That's quite pitiful."
Chen Qingtang: "...Xie Yanning, can't you keep your voice down when you're talking bad about me?"
Su Wanwan: "Oh no!"
“It’s scary for you to stand by the lake alone. I’m just thinking about the villagers.” After all, it’s the Lunar New Year.
Chen Qingtang threw all the pebbles in her hand into the lake, clapped her hands, and walked over. "Xie Yanning, it's been so long, and I still don't like you."
"Thank you, but I don't need your approval."
Chen Qingtang looked at Su Wanwan and said, "Hello."
"Hello." Su Wanwan was still a little embarrassed after talking about someone behind their back.
He nodded. "Looking at Xie Yanning's pathetic behavior, I suddenly realized that my mother was quite right."
"You've done your best," Xie Yanning said.
Chen Qingtang was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Can't you be a little more likable?"
"cannot."
Where are you going?
"Dating," Xie Yanning said, "You're not planning to come along, are you? It's the New Year, would you really be a third wheel?"
"I really have the nerve to do it." Chen Qingtang went all in and insisted on following along.
Xie Yanning said with obvious disdain, "If you're not afraid of being blinded by the light, then come along."
"Sister-in-law, how can you tolerate him like this?" Chen Qingtang asked.
"Maybe it's because he's handsome." Su Wanwan blinked.
“There are people more handsome than him,” Chen Qingtang said.
"Never seen it before."
Chen Qingtang: "..."
"You two are a match made in heaven."
"Thanks."
Chen Qingtang: "..."
As they talked, the two quickly arrived at the neighboring ancient town.
This ancient town is quite famous, and during the Chinese New Year, it attracted some tourists from other places.
To be honest, most ancient towns are pretty much the same, and the food is almost identical. This one is no exception, but it's probably not as famous yet, and it retains some local characteristics.
The ancient buildings are all well preserved.
Su Wanwan also saw many young people wearing Hanfu taking photos.
"You want to?"
"I'm already this old..."
"How old are you?" Chen Qingtang couldn't help but ask.
"We're classmates, don't you think?"
"Alright, alright, I know you two are childhood sweethearts." Chen Qingtang said, "Luckily you snatched Xie Yanning away, otherwise who knows how many people that guy would have ruined."
As they were talking, two voices called out "Brother!" one after the other.
The three of them looked over at the same time.
Two young girls dressed in Hanfu, each holding a palace fan, walked over, lifting their skirts.
"Brother," Chen Qingzhu called out crisply.
"Brother," Xie Yueyao called out.
However, they called each other "brother" differently.
"So you came here so early in the morning?" Chen Qingtang said.
"Yes, this is Su Wanwan," Xie Yanning said.
"Hello," Xie Yueyao said.
"Hello." The person in front of her seemed a little shy, and Su Wanwan also became slightly reserved. She never expected that the Xie family could produce such a delicate and beautiful woman.
The team has grown larger.
From two people to three to five people.
These two younger sisters are freshmen in college.
Although freshman year was a long time ago for Su Wanwan, she felt that there was no generation gap between her and them, and they quickly became friends. The two of them even thought about whether Su Wanwan should try wearing Hanfu.
"I'm already this old, I don't want it." Su Wanwan refused.
“But you’ll definitely look great in it, Wanwan,” Chen Qingzhu said. “And what do you mean by ‘at this age’? You look just like us.”
If Su Wanwan, such a great beauty, wore Hanfu, they would definitely be the center of attention on the entire street.
Su Wanwan still refused, and tried to distract them by saying that she had experience in editing photography.
Most people can't refuse such conditions.
Su Wanwan helped them find the right angles and pose, and the three of them took photos for almost an hour.
Chen Qingtang and Xie Yanning leaned against the railing by the river. "That's why I don't have a girlfriend. I'm exhausted from taking photos every day."
"It's nice to take pictures of your girlfriend," Xie Yanning said. "You don't understand if you don't have a girlfriend."
"Xie Yanning, I've put up with you for too long. Put away your smug face."
Xie Yanning gave him a "hehe".
After they had finished arguing, the two finally got down to business.
"You still can't forget her?" Xie Yanning asked.
"Who are you talking about? I don't remember her at all."
"..."
Chen Qingtang realized what was happening, “…”
"So what if I can't forget him? He has his sights set on the world and doesn't want to stay by my side at all."
"I remember you're a freelancer, aren't you?" Xie Yanning said, "You can just go wherever she goes, right?"
"You make it sound so easy, but what if she doesn't like it?"
Xie Yanning only knew a little about Chen Qingtang and Sheng Yan's relationship. The two parted ways because of their professional ideals, and after so many years of separation and reunion, Xie Yanning was tired of hearing about it.
Xie Yanning scoffed, "What if she finds someone else willing to be with her? Who are you going to cry to then?"
Chen Qingtang choked.
Xie Yanning patted him on the shoulder, "I heard she'll be back this year, so it's up to you."
Xie Yanning and Sheng Yan are related by blood, and can be considered relatives, which he heard by chance.
They were very satisfied with the photos taken by Su Wanwan and said they wanted to take one for Xie Yanning and Su Wanwan as well.
To be honest, there aren't many photos of the two of them together.
Xie Yanning's phone is mostly filled with solo photos of herself.
Su Wanwan walked over and took Xie Yanning's arm: "Professor Xie, shall we take a group photo?"
Su Wanwan handed her phone to Xie Yueyao.
Chen Qingtang voluntarily gave up her seat, watching the two lovingly affectionate people, who seemed to be doing quite well.
Xie Yanning then put his arm around Su Wanwan's waist.
Su Wanwan smiled at him, just as Xie Yanning looked over. The two made eye contact, which was captured by Xie Yueyao.
Looking at this photo, she felt that tenderness and affection had been brought to life.
Her brother must be head over heels in love with her.
No, she loves such a beautiful woman too.
Chen Qingzhu was even a little jealous of Xie Yueyao. "My brother is really driving me crazy. If this continues, even Sister Shengyan won't want her anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingtang was speechless.
Can't his own sister give him some face?
