Meng Ji said gently, "I'll go for a walk with you."
"good."
The two passed by a wonton shop, and Chu Xinxin said she wanted to eat some, so Meng Ji ate with her.
"Mengji, don't you like wontons?" Chu Xinxin vaguely remembered that Xiao Linyi and Shen Tianye both liked them.
“I don’t particularly like it,” Meng Ji replied.
"Try it, the meat is tender and the soup is rich, it's delicious."
Just as Chu Xinxin was about to feed Meng Ji with her spoon, a cheerful and enthusiastic female voice came from behind her: "Meng Ji, so you're here! I've been looking for you for ages!"
Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in red with a high ponytail came up from behind, plopped down next to Meng Ji, and casually put her arm around his shoulder.
The woman seemed not to see Chu Xinxin, and pointed to the bowl of wontons in front of Meng Ji, saying, "Ah, how did you know I didn't have lunch? You even ordered my favorite wontons!"
After saying that, he picked up a spoon and started eating the wontons one by one.
She ate very quickly, and accidentally choked while drinking the soup. Meng Ji took out his handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her to wipe her mouth.
"Eat slowly. You always eat so fast. No one's going to take it from you."
"I'm so hungry... cough cough, it'll be ready in a bit... cough cough, thank you."
Mengji patted her back to make her cough feel more comfortable...
"Um...who is this?"
Chu Xinxin's sense of déjà vu, that she "should be under the car," grew stronger and stronger, until she finally couldn't help but interrupt them.
Meng Ji: "Oh right, let me introduce you, this is..."
"My name is Qingwu, and I'm Mengji's good brother." Qingwu said with a smile as he put his arm around Mengji's shoulder.
Good buddy?
Just as Chu Xinxin was about to speak, Qingwu suddenly closed the distance between them and said, "You must be the goddess! Wow, the girls in your capital are really something else, your makeup is so exquisite..."
Chu Xinxin suddenly smelled the aroma of tea. Sure enough, Qingwu's next sentence was: "Unlike me, I can't even tell the difference between rouge and lipstick."
"I didn't wear makeup today..."
Qingwu interrupted Chu Xinxin: "Goddess, if Mengji dares to bully you after you get married, just tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson!"
Chu Xinxin: Huh? Wait a minute, who are you? Help me deal with my fiancé? The priest hasn't turned to dust yet, has he?
Chu Xin smiled insincerely: "Hehe, Meng Ji, is this your sister? Or your cousin, other cousins, or other sisters?"
"No, we are..."
Meng Ji wanted to explain, but Qing Wu interrupted him again: "Goddess, although Meng Ji and I are not blood-related siblings, we are closer than blood-related siblings. We grew up together and are as close as brothers. You can ask me anything you want to know about him!"
"Don't bring up such old stories in front of the goddess." Meng Ji's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Qingwu grabbed his head and gave him a hard knock on the head: "You're something else! You've forgotten your friends for the sake of a pretty face. I should have known better than to be your brother in the first place!"
"Let go!"
"I won't let go! Haha, Mengji, why did you poke my lower back, hahaha..."
The two started arguing.
Qingwu released Mengji after being poked a few times in the waist. Then, as if remembering that Chu Xinxin was also there, she smiled and said, "Goddess, please don't mind. Mengji and I have always been like this. If anything were to happen between us..."
If we have anything, it won't be for you.
—Qingwu's unfinished words.
Seeing that Chu Xinxin understood, Qingwu's smile deepened: "Don't worry, we really are just good brothers, pure friendship. We wouldn't do anything even if we were naked and thrown on the bed."
After Qingwu finished speaking, he immediately put his arm around Mengji's shoulder, looking like the two brothers.
Chu Xinxin: I have a few words of sarcasm, but I don't know if I should say them.
Qingwu kept mentioning "brothers" in every sentence, and in front of her, he also emphasized his close relationship with Mengji, ending with the phrase "pure friendship."
Chu Xinxin laughed in exasperation. When it comes to tea ceremony, she's never been afraid of anyone!
"I don't mind. I just envy Sister Qingwu for being able to play with Mengji. Unlike me, I'm locked up in the temple all day and can't go anywhere."
Qingwu: "It's okay, I can have Mengji take you out to play in the future..."
The words "I can" and "Let" ignited Chu Xinxin's fighting spirit.
She glanced at Meng Ji sweetly, then said, "Forget it, Sister Qingwu. My father raised me so delicately that I'm afraid I can't endure this kind of hardship."
Subtext: The green wutong tree is tough and thick-skinned.
You wanted to establish a carefree and unconventional persona, right? Well, I'll make that persona a reality for you!
Chu Xinxin continued, "By the way, Sister Qingwu, I see you're out and about every day, and your skin looks a bit dark. I have a tube of melanin-removing lotion made by Zhangshi here. Apply it once a day, and in less than seven days, I guarantee your skin will be as white as snow."
Qingwu's lips twitched. And she called her dark-skinned!
Meng Ji also turned his head and looked closely at Qing Wu's face: "It is indeed a bit darker than before."
Upon hearing this, Qingwu immediately tried to take the melanin-removing essence from Chu Xinxin's hand.
Just as her hand was about to touch the tube of ointment, Chu Xinxin pulled it back.
"Oh dear, it's all my fault. I forgot that my sister never uses these kinds of products. I didn't think of that."
Chu Xinxin was very sincere: "Sister, please don't mind. How about this, since you haven't had lunch, I'll ask the chef to bring a few more bowls of wontons. You and Meng Ji are good brothers, so you must have the same appetite. Chef, bring ten more bowls of wontons!"
"Need not……"
"Okay!"
The chef's loud voice completely drowned out Qingwu's "No need." The chef was even afraid that they would change their minds, so he gave the wontons that were originally meant for other tables to their table first.
Ten bowls of steaming hot wontons exuded a fragrant aroma.
"Sir, the wontons have already been served and cannot be returned."
The driver held out his hand: "Who wants to pay the bill?"
Chu Xinxin willingly paid the money: "Sister Qingwu, please eat it while it's hot, otherwise it will get soggy."
Qingwu: "I'm actually not that hungry..."
"Mengji, did I do something wrong?" Chu Xinxin's voice suddenly became aggrieved. "Why does Sister Qingwu eat your wontons but not the ones I bought? Does Sister Qingwu not like me?"
After saying that, Chu Xinxin pinched her thigh, forcing out two tears.
"I didn't do it, I didn't."
Qingwu grew anxious.
"Does Sister Qingwu only eat what Meng Ji has eaten?" Chu Xinxin looked at the two people opposite her with tears in her eyes. "You two, aren't you just good brothers?"
Meng Ji frowned, and the people at the two tables next to him also turned to look.
Qingwu: "No, I mean I'm not very hungry, but these wontons look really appetizing..."
Qingwu finished ten bowls of wontons with tears in his eyes, probably never wanting to see that thing again in his life.
After she finished eating, she wanted to turn the tables: "I'm so full, Mengji, how about we go play in the Abyss? It seems we found that divine herb you wanted last time."
Meng Ji's eyes lit up immediately; he clearly wanted to go, but Chu Xinxin...
Meng Ji looked at Chu Xinxin.
A smile appeared on Qingwu's face: "Goddess, why don't you come along too... Ah, I forgot that Goddess's skin is delicate, and I'm afraid you've never left the capital and can't endure the hardships of travel."
Great, I'll use her words to retort to her right away.
