Just as she leaned into the carriage, something flew towards her. She was startled and nearly fell backwards. Fortunately, Hongying, who was supporting her from behind, held her up.
The thing that was flying towards Ren Yaoqi stopped just an inch away from her eyes, staring at her with a pair of innocent eyes: "Ouch——"
Xiao Jinglin withdrew the hand that was holding the silly girl by the scruff of her neck and pulled her away from Ren Yaoqi. Then he patted her head and said expressionlessly, "All you do is eat every day. You don't even realize how much you weigh now. You even dare to pounce on people."
Ren Yaoqi looked at the silly girl who had gained weight and was constantly stretching her limbs: "..."
Xiao Jinglin threw the struggling and whimpering Silly Girl to Hongying, and asked Ren Yaoqi to sit over. He looked her over for a long moment and asked, "How come Silly Girl has gained weight, but you've lost weight?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled helplessly and reached out to scratch the chin of the silly girl who had been staring at her. The silly girl squinted her eyes comfortably, then happily spread her limbs and exposed her belly to Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but chuckle.
Xiao Jinglin said, "See? I learned this from that cat named Bai Xue. Once, it even imitated a cat's meow, but I beat it up and it stopped meowing."
"Why are you here today? You didn't even want to tell me anything before." Ren Yaoqi asked while stroking the silly girl's hair.
Xiao Jinglin lifted the car curtain and looked outside and said, "I'm going to Bailong Temple today. I thought it was not far from Baihe Town, so I came to find you."
Ren Yaoqi glanced outside the car upon hearing this and asked, "Are we going to Bailong Temple?"
Xiao Jinglin nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked again, "Is it convenient for you?"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and nodded since he had nothing to do.
Xiao Jinglin said, "I've already asked Hongying to tell your grandmother about this, so don't worry about the elders at home."
Xiao Jinglin always makes Ren Yaoqi feel her attentiveness and thoughtfulness from the details.
The Xiao family's carriage was sturdy and stable, and even if it went faster, the people sitting in the carriage wouldn't feel it, so this time it arrived in just over half an hour, nearly twice as fast as the last time Ren Yaoqi came.
Hongying added, "The princess had previously instructed the carriage to go slower, but I didn't expect it to take so long to get back. The sun has even risen higher."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
The carriage finally drove into a courtyard at the foot of the Bailong Temple. Xiao Jinglin didn't seem to have any intention of entering the temple. When he saw the carriage stopped, he got off first, then turned around to help Ren Yaoqi.
Just as Ren Yaoqi was standing firm, he heard a smiling voice not far away saying, "Why so fast?"
Turning around, Ren Yaoqi saw Xiao Jingxi, dressed in black, standing in the corridor, looking at them with a smile.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi, somewhat puzzled: "Because we came back in a horse-drawn carriage!"
Xiao Jingxi shook his head, then smiled and said, "I just opened a jar of good water that was sealed here last year and made a pot of tea. Come and have some."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the yard. Only then did Ren Yaoqi notice the pair of clogs he was wearing.
Xiao Jingxi lives up to his title of the most handsome man in Yanbei. Even a simple wide-sleeved black shirt and wooden clogs can make him look uniquely elegant.
