Jiang Ling was a little confused. Why was Zhou Jing'an here?
"Xiao An'an, why is there someone else here?" Could they be here to take a bath together?
Cheng An was puzzled and asked, "Didn't I tell you before we set off? My mother was afraid of the dangers in the mountains, so she asked my brother to be the flower protector, and he simply called his colleagues to come along."
Well, Jiang Ling said that she was in a daze before getting on the carriage and didn't hear anything at all.
Cheng An's voice passed through his cerebral cortex and slipped out without entering his brain at all.
Jiang Ling stammered, "Ah, I just didn't expect Zhou Jing'an to be here too."
"I didn't know my brother would ask him to come. Don't worry, just ignore him." Cheng An didn't like Zhou Jing'an very much either.
Jiang Ling: ...Actually, she was quite happy that he was there, as it saved her from having to use her brother's name to ask him out.
Qingchun Mountain is not very high and the slope is gentle, so it didn't take them much time to climb up.
It was not yet 9 o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. The temperature was low halfway up the mountain, the trees were still as lush as they were in late summer, and there were wild flowers everywhere, making the scenery unique and beautiful.
Jiang Ling was admiring the beautiful scenery in the mountains, but suddenly her eyes paused, and then she made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound.
Someone was so big that he blocked her view.
Zhou Jing'an didn't realize that he was a bit of a nuisance in Jiang Ling's eyes. Seeing Cheng He walking over there, he also followed him.
Cheng He walked over and said to his sister, "Xiao An, the hot spring is just ahead. Let's go."
The three of them nodded and asked their maids to take the things they brought with them.
Zhou Jing'an and Chen Yuanzong, who followed closely behind, greeted them one after another, and the three of them returned the greetings.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from afar. When they looked over, they saw Qi Tianyang, wearing a pine green brocade robe, riding a horse and galloping towards them.
He smiled ostentatiously and dismounted quickly. Someone went to get the horse, and he strode over: "I'm late, please forgive me."
Jiang Ling: ...
How many people are there?
"Well, excuse me for asking, is anyone else coming?" Jiang Ling blinked her big eyes and smiled innocently.
I don't think they called a tour group.
Cheng An also asked: "Brother, how many people did you call?"
"Everyone is here, let's go." Cheng He said helplessly.
He has been pulled here to be the flower protector, so what's wrong with asking a few people to accompany him?

The hot spring here was created by slightly modifying the original pit on the mountain. The bottom of the hot spring was smoothed, and the protruding edges and corners around it were knocked off and polished smooth.
The cave is separated by wooden walls and doors. Each private room is large, with potted flowers and plants, and even a small clump of bamboo. There is also a dining table and a bed, so it is completely fine to stay here for a day or several days.
The steaming hot spring is filled with red rose petals, and the fragrance is overwhelming.
Jiang Ling and the other two changed into a set of undergarments they had brought with them and went into the water eager to try.
Wu Wanying's eyes lit up: "Wow, it's so warm."
"It's so comfortable." Jiang Ling sat in the hot spring, the water just below her collarbone, and she squinted her eyes comfortably.
The three of them sat together chatting and laughing, while the maids waited beside them.
Wu Wanying suddenly looked at Jiang Ling intently.
Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows. What? You want to fight?
Wu Wanying, who wanted to "take action", propped up her head and looked at her with a complicated look: "Jiang Ling, I actually didn't like you before."
Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn't have to fight, it would be fine. Otherwise, she was afraid that her face would be scratched and the male protagonist would dislike her when she completed the task at night.
I have the impression that the original body and Wu Wanying did not get along well. Perhaps it was because they had similar personalities and were both unwilling to suffer losses, so they often tended to confront each other.
"Who said it wasn't? I used to dislike you too." Jiang Ling smiled.
Wu Wanying also laughed. "I used to think you were incompetent and had a lot of problems. You liked to meddle in other people's affairs and had a bad temper. You would curse people when you couldn't win an argument. I thought all the daughters of military generals were like you."
She smiled with her eyes curved: "I thought at the time, with your temper, you probably can't be near firecrackers during the New Year, for fear of them exploding."
Jiang Ling and Cheng An both laughed when they heard her words.
Cheng An laughed so hard that he slapped his hands in the water, and he agreed with his hands covering his mouth: "Although our two families are old friends, I also thought the same thing when I first met Ling'er when I was a child!"
The three of them burst into laughter. Jiang Ling also laughed and looked up: "So am I a fire stick? Or a firecracker?"
Wu Wanying smiled and stopped, looking at her and said, "Later, when we were at the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, I saw you were so cowardly and timid, and I looked down on you. At that time, I thought that you and I had both been harmed by Shen Qingru, so we should stick together. You can be timid if you want, but I'm brave."
"But what I didn't expect is that despite your hot temper, you actually have a smart little brain." This really surprised Wu Wanying.
Jiang Ling raised her chin to indicate that this was no big deal.
Wu Wanying's eyes showed satisfaction and a hint of admiration. "The plan was clear and meticulous, one layer within another, and it took every aspect into consideration. With just a little maneuvering, Zhou Jing'an saw through her true colors, making it impossible for her to rely on him for support in the future."
Cheng An nodded and said, "Ling'er is really smart."
"So now I think it's okay to be friends with you." Wu Wanying felt a little uncomfortable, and still had a very arrogant tone.
Jiang Ling looked at her awkward look and smiled secretly, she is really a little girl.
She also curled her lips and said, "I also think you are a good friend now."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
