Chapter 418 Kiss (5)
Luo Xueyan knocked down Chen Qiu's hand and angrily said, "Don't move." Then she looked at the drunken and somewhat confused Chen Miao and shook her head, "You don't want to sleep with me anymore, but you insist on sleeping so far away. Come on, let Mo Qing and Ah Zhi set up a tent outside the yard for the night. Jingzhe and Guyu can help the girl change her clothes and then come out."
This farmhouse wasn't like the house they'd had in Dingjing before. It had a bedroom and an outhouse, allowing Jingzhe and Guyu to sleep on the small couch in the outhouse. Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin weren't demanding people, so there was no reason for them to sleep on the floor to serve Shen Miao. They figured the farmhouse wasn't too big, and with Ah Zhi and Mo Qing guarding the outside, it shouldn't be a problem.
Jingzhe and Guyu helped Shen Miao change her clothes and wash her face before leaving the house. Mo Qing and Azhi, who had set up their tent in the yard, also left and prepared to take turns keeping watch. Jingzhe and Guyu stepped forward to give them some more instructions before leaving.
In that small side room with “beautiful scenery”, Shen Miao was suddenly the only one left.
Chen Miao, who was originally supported by Jingzhe and had already gotten on the bed, suddenly climbed up from the bed.
The aftereffects of the plum blossom wine finally took effect at this moment. Shen Miao's clear eyes were now hazy. She stood up unsteadily and was about to walk towards the window, but she stumbled and almost hit the corner of the table, and fell down violently.
In the darkness, a pair of strong arms lifted her up. She could faintly smell the light fragrance of the other person. A familiar voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of teasing, saying: "Tsk, you actually jumped on me."
Shen Miao took advantage of the situation and wrapped her arms around his waist to help him stand more steadily, but she didn't realize that the latter's body stiffened as soon as she made this move.
After a moment, with a "hiss", flames jumped up, and the man found a fire starter from somewhere and lit the oil lamp in the house.
The windows of the farmer's house were all carved from wood. They were solid wood carvings, not even covered with white paper. Even if the lights were on inside, they couldn't be seen from outside. Therefore, the few people in the yard didn't notice anything unusual in the house.
Under the dim light, he could clearly see the other person's features. Snow-white fox fur, deep red brocade clothes, red lips and white teeth, a pair of dark eyes as bright as peach blossoms, and even in the brocade clothes, he had a graceful demeanor when walking at night. Who else could it be but Xie Jingxing?
Shen Miao was stunned and said, "Xie Jingxing?" When she said this, her body became heavy and she accidentally leaned towards Xie Jingxing again, almost hugging him.
Xie Jingxing frowned: "You smell so much of alcohol, how much have you drunk?" He looked at Shen Miao and said with some disdain: "I was kind enough to give you a ride, but who knew you'd meet a drunk."
“You’re the one who’s drunk.” Shen Miao immediately retorted.
"Alright, you know me and you're still talking back at me, it seems you're not drunk." Xie Jingxing said as he helped Shen Miao onto the couch and brought the oil lamp closer.
Under the dim light, Shen Miao, wearing a plain white midriff-baring gown and with her hair loose, looked at him dazedly. She looked completely different from her usual shrewd and calm self, and actually looked a bit like a pitiful little girl. Xie Jingxing thought about it for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't help but pinch her face hard.
Shen Miao glared at him angrily.
It was rare to see her acting so childishly. Xie Jingxing found it amusing. He only thought that Shen Miao was drunk now. As the saying goes, truth comes out when drunk. Maybe he could get something out of her. So he asked, "Who am I?"
"Xie Jingxing." Shen Miao answered quickly.
"Do you know who Xie Jingxing is?"
Shen Miao stared at him, slowly frowning, and hesitated to speak. Xie Jingxing felt a little strange being looked at by her, and wondered if this girl was cursing him in her heart. Who knew that Shen Miao suddenly smiled and said, "He is a wonderful and brilliant person!"
