Chapter 945 So the Moon is Excited
Standing inside the Meridian Gate, Lu Yuanqiu looked at the gray-white brick and stone ground covered by sunlight in front of him, put his hands on his hips and said, "I was careless. I should have bought a parasol."
"I'll go take a look and see if they sell anything there," Little Li, the dart thrower, volunteered and walked forward.
Bai Qingxia put her hand to her forehead and looked around on tiptoe: "It's alright, it's still early. The sunlight in the morning and evening is the gentlest of the day."
Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "That's true, but we can use an umbrella at noon too."
"Do you know why?" Bai Qingxia suddenly tugged at Lu Yuanqiu's clothes, a smile on her face, as if she had discovered something new.
"Why what?"
The girl frowned and repeated, "Why is the sunlight gentlest in the morning and evening?"
Wait, this must be a romantic question. Not being able to answer it might be disastrous. Let me think about how to answer… Lu Yuanqiu rested his chin on his hand, his brainstorming, then laughed and said, “Ah!”
"Because the sun was very close to the moon at both of those times; one had just separated from the moon, and the other was about to meet the moon again!"
“That’s how it is!” Bai Qingxia looked up at Lu Yuanqiu and lightly bounced in front of him.
The password is correct.
"Wow, thankfully I understood her thought process," Lu Yuanqiu laughed heartily, then asked, "Then let me ask you, why is the moon most excited at dawn and dusk?"
Bai Qingxia's interest waned, her eyes drooping slightly. She quickly replied, "Of course it's because those two times are too close to the sun, which is boring. You plagiarized my idea."
"No, no, no." Lu Yuanqiu shook his finger under the girl's questioning gaze and explained, "Because one just finished with the sun, and the other is about to do it with the sun, so the moon is very excited."
"...Die!!"
When Xiao Li returned with a parasol, he saw Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia standing by the railing.
However, the two were separated by five or six meters, and Lu Yuanqiu had a red five-finger mark on his left cheek. Lu Yuanqiu would occasionally turn his head to peek at the girl over there, while Bai Qingxia was taking pictures with her phone on the other side, but her face was sullen.
Little Li Flying Darts walked to Lu Yuanqiu's side, opened his tiger's mouth, and measured the length of the handprint on Lu Yuanqiu's face.
"What?" Lu Yuanqiu shrank back and looked at him strangely.
Xiao Li Feidiao walked over to Bai Qingxia, handed her the parasol, and measured the length of Bai Qingxia's fingers.
Bai Qingxia withdrew her hand in confusion, then saw Xiao Li Feibiao standing next to her nod and mutter to himself, "It matches."
"Did he just do something that made you angry?" Little Li Darts asked.
Bai Qingxia glanced at Lu Yuanqiu, who was sneakily peeking in their direction, and said sullenly, "He... his words ruined the mood, he was deliberately trying to annoy me."
Little Li Flying Darts turned around and said, "Young Master Lu, why don't you apologize quickly? I'm not good at taking pictures of girls later, and the results are always terrible."
Bai Qingxia twitched her lips, then lowered her head and grabbed her princess dress. Xiao Li Feibiao, with his back to her, winked at Lu Yuanqiu, though it was unclear whether Lu Yuanqiu could see it.
But Lu Yuanqiu certainly understood. Hehe, it's always good to have a peacemaker on your trip. He came running over excitedly. When he saw him coming, Bai Qingxia looked up, snorted, and turned away.
Lu Yuanqiu made another dazzling appearance in front of her after circling around. Bai Qingxia angrily turned her back to him again, but Xiao Li Feidiao noticed that the corners of the girl's mouth were secretly curling up.
That makes sense. Miss Bai couldn't possibly be really angry with Young Master Lu. Their bickering is no different from flirting.
"Wife, I was wrong..." Lu Yuanqiu hugged her from behind, finding the jewelry on her head troublesome, so he tilted his head back and wrapped his neck around it, resting his head on Bai Qingxia's shoulder.
"Let's start taking some beautiful photos, we can't have come all this way for nothing."
Bai Qingxia said, "But I don't look good on camera."
Lu Yuanqiu: "It's okay, whether it looks good or not, we'll just look at it ourselves and take pictures as we please."
Lu Yuanqiu took out his phone and stepped back. Bai Qingxia turned around and looked at him. In the slightly shaky camera lens, she followed Lu Yuanqiu's instructions and moved her feet to the center of the lens.
In Lu Yuanqiu's eyes, this scene was like a fairy entering a painting.
Actually, at her age, she has rarely taken any serious artistic photos. Before Lu Yuanqiu came, he had thought about whether to bring a photographer, but he thought that having a photographer would make Bai Qingxia less happy and natural. Besides, wearing beautiful clothes, putting on beautiful makeup, and taking beautiful photos is for pleasing oneself, not for others.
She looked quite natural under Lu Yuanqiu's lens.
"Smile." Lu Yuanqiu deliberately mimicked her serious face, which worked well and made Bai Qingxia laugh.
"That's wonderful, the Forbidden City has welcomed its most beautiful princess." Lu Yuanqiu grinned, pressed the shutter, and took a picture of Bai Qingxia standing by the railing with a bright smile.
Who says you're not photogenic? You're incredibly photogenic... Lu Yuanqiu looked down at the photo.
Once he's less busy, he'll definitely take Bai Qingxia to more places, so she can see not only her homeland but also the world, Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.
Around noon, the two went to the men's restroom, where Bai Qingxia sat alone on a chair in the rest area to wait.
She stretched her legs comfortably under the table, and remembering that she still had some sour plums, she took them out of her bag and ate them. Perhaps it was because of the pregnancy, but she always felt that the sour taste in her mouth would make her feel much better.
"Hello, beautiful lady, can I add you on WeChat?" At this moment, a handsome young man walked over, bent down and asked her politely, his cheeks slightly flushed.
Bai Qingxia paused in her chewing of the sour plum, instinctively putting away her phone and bag from the table, and looked at him warily: "Do we know each other?"
"Huh? I don't know her... she's just..." The young man was already a little nervous, and the girl's question made him even more nervous.
And what's with that wary look? It's like I'm about to steal her phone.
Before the trip, Bai Qingxia was reminded many times by her elders and Lu Yuanqiu, like a baby who had never been out before, how dangerous the outside world was, especially for a pretty girl like her, who must be careful. Although she nodded perfunctorily and thought that she was too old to be afraid, she did listen to their advice.
From childhood to adulthood, she has always been absolutely wary of strangers approaching her, especially now that Lu Yuanqiu is not around.
"You...are you still in school? You don't look very old." The young man glanced at his companions in the distance, who were giving him encouraging looks. He mustered his courage a little and hesitated before sitting down on the chair next to Bai Qingxia, trying to start a conversation.
