Over the next few days, Jiang Ling and his companions traveled around Qing County, and returned to the Hundred Acres Flower Field to rest at night. They had a very comfortable time.
"Hahaha, yes, I really saw Qi Tianyang beat up that scoundrel that day with my own eyes, punching and kicking him."
Wu Wanying was vividly describing what she had seen on the street a few days ago, which made everyone listen with great interest and laugh out loud.
Cheng An scoffed and snorted, "This dandy boy is still so reckless. If he encounters something like this, wouldn't it be better to just hand him over to the authorities? Why does he have to fight on the street?"
"Hasn't he always been like this?" Zhou Huanan took the pastry handed to her by Jiang Ling and took a bite.
At this time, Jiang Fei's maid came over and whispered something in her ear.
Jiang Fei was slightly startled, then turned around and asked the maid softly, "Is he outside?"
Seeing her face full of surprise and a hint of intriguing shyness, Jiang Ling instantly became alert.
After receiving the maid's affirmative answer, Jiang Fei lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Jiang Ling leaned over and asked her softly, "What's wrong? Who's here?"
The other people were still talking about interesting things in the capital, and no one heard the conversation between the two.
Jiang Fei pursed her lips, leaned closer and whispered, "...It's Lin Sijie."
"Oh?" Jiang Ling was a little surprised.
After she talked to Jiang Fei about their relationship last time, and since Jiang Fei told her not to worry about it, she didn't pay any more attention to it.
How come after all these days, the two of them not only haven't broken up, but are still in contact?
She pulled Jiang Fei away and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you two?"
Looking at the light in her eyes, Jiang Fei smiled helplessly.
But since she had decided to tell him, Jiang Fei didn't want to hide anything from her.
"These days, I run into him occasionally, and sometimes we talk a few words."
As she spoke, Jiang Fei's face turned red.
"And then?" Jiang Ling asked her, "Did he do that to you, cousin..."
Jiang Fei was startled, her cheeks flushed even deeper, and she quickly covered her mouth to stop her from talking.
She just looked uncomfortable, pursed her lips and hesitated for a while before she said softly, "I also think he has some feelings for me..."
Jiang Ling raised the corners of her mouth, and seeing her shy look, she almost wanted to scream.
She quickly asked, "What about you to him?"
Seeing Jiang Fei lowered her head and didn't speak, she changed the question and asked, "Do you hate him?"
"No." Jiang Fei shook her head. "Lin Sijie is handsome, and he is also very dignified and polite..."
Jiang Ling smiled.
What else is there to say? Isn’t this just a mutual love?
She didn't ask any more questions, as she had exposed so many things that were enough to make her feel ashamed and crawl into a crack in the ground.
"Let's put everything else aside. He's outside right now. Would you like to go see him, cousin?"
Jiang Fei frowned, a little hesitant.
Private relationships between men and women should not be too intimate. If her mother knew about such a private meeting, she would definitely be angry.
Jiang Ling's eyes turned and he came up with an idea.
"I'll go out with you. What if he comes to see you for something important? It would be bad to be delayed. You'll be more comfortable with me around."
Jiang Fei raised her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you Ling'er."

As noon approached, the heat grew stronger, but it was cool under the tree. There were two figures under the tree: a man and a horse.
Lin Cixiao was standing far outside the courtyard, leading his horse. Although he still had no expression on his face, his eyes, which glanced at the door from time to time, betrayed his anxious and nervous mood.
It was not until the figure appeared at the door that he relaxed his subconsciously furrowed brows and his eyes sparkled with light.
He walked over, first bowed to Jiang Ling, and then greeted Jiang Fei.
"Miss Jiang."
Jiang Fei's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she bent over to return the greeting.
Seeing that the two of them were like taciturn people, and just sat there in silence after greeting each other, Jiang Ling had no choice but to speak first to break the silence.
"Lin Sijie is here, what's the matter?"
When she asked, Lin Cixiao suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit and quickly said, "I came here yesterday to suppress the bandits under the order of the emperor. When I learned that the princess and the other girls were here for fun, I wanted to come and remind them to bring more guards with them when they go out. I hope you will be cautious and stay safe."
Jiang Ling smiled knowingly.
Oh~ You are worried about Jiang Fei's safety, so you came here to remind her, right?
Tsk tsk tsk.
She used to think that Lin Cixiao was completely indifferent to love and romance, and was devoted only to martial arts. This was the first time she saw him interacting with a girl.
Normally, let alone taking the initiative to look for them, you have to retreat even if you want to say a word to them.
Jiang Fei nodded and thanked him softly: "Thank you Lin Sijie for the reminder."
She looked up at him and noticed some mud stains on his robe. She asked, "Did Lin Sijie just come here after suppressing the bandits?"
Lin Cixiao was startled, and when he saw the mud spot on the corner of his clothes, he looked a little embarrassed.
He nodded. "Yes, I was afraid...of danger, so I rode a fast horse and rushed over."
Afraid of who is in danger?
Jiang Ling covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Jiang Fei frowned, "Are you hurt?"
Lin Qixiao looked up at her, smiled shyly, and shook his head, "No, thank you Miss Jiang for your concern."
The two looked at each other, then quickly lowered their heads, speechless for a moment.
The cicadas were chirping, the sun was shining through the gaps in the leaves, and the air was silent.
One of them lowered his head and stared at the mud spots on the corner of his clothes, with a red mark on the tip of his ear.
One of them turned her head to look at a clump of grass under the big tree, blushing as she silently counted the wild flowers blooming in the grass.
Jiang Ling next to him is just a decoration, and his role is almost the same as the two big trees here.
