Xiao Jingxi was not wearing a hood, and fine snowflakes fell all over his black hair. At first glance, it gave people the illusion of a red face with white hair, but it made his handsome face even more attractive.
"Why are you here?" It took Ren Yaoqi a long time to find her voice. She couldn't help but look at Hongying. Hongying was standing behind Xiao Jingxi with her head down and a positive expression. Her look was colder than usual, which made Ren Yaoqi a little strange.
"I can't come?" Xiao Jingxi asked with a smile. He didn't know if it was Ren Yaoqi's illusion, but the second young master Xiao said this with a bit of grievance.
"I thought it was Jinglin..."
Xiao Jingxi smiled and glanced at Hongying: "She is Nanxing, not Hongying."
Ren Yaoqi was very surprised when she heard this, and looked at "Hongying" a few more times: "Is she Hongying's sister? They look so alike." No wonder Ren Yaoqi felt that Hongying was more taciturn and cold today than usual. In terms of appearance, the two looked almost exactly the same, so she made a mistake.
Nanxing stepped forward and bowed again: "I am Nanxing, the servant, greeting Miss Ren San." This time, Nanxing's expression suddenly changed slightly, her facial expression suddenly softened a lot, and there was even a smile on her face.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but be stunned, because Nanxing like this was almost the same as Hongying on ordinary days. If Nanxing had been in this expression just now, she would definitely not be able to see any difference at all.
"Now you see it?" Xiao Jingxi blinked slowly, with a look of guilt on his face.
After Ren Yaoqi realized what was going on, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. What Xiao Jingxi meant was that he didn't specifically ask Nanxing to pretend to be Hongying to trick Ren Yaoqi here. Although Nanxing really pretended to be Hongying very vividly, it was Ren Yaoqi's own poor eyesight that caused him to fail to recognize her.
Thinking about it carefully, Nanxing had indeed not mentioned that she was Hongying. When she invited her, she said that she was invited by the master, not the princess. Ren Yaoqi was a little annoyed. She had drunk a little and was really drunk. She had not noticed these details. However, because Hongying was Xiao Jinglin's person, she had let down her guard.
Just seeing Xiao Jingxi's current expression, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
When Xiao Jingxi saw the look on Ren Yaoqi's face, he knew she was angry. Afraid that she would just turn around and walk away, he took a step forward without showing any emotion, lowered his head and whispered, "It's a bit cold standing here for so long. How about going for a walk in the woods?"
Although after slowly getting to know Xiao Jingxi, Ren Yaoqi knew that he was probably trying to gain sympathy by saying this, but seeing the snowflakes falling all over Xiao Jingxi's head, she still nodded.
Xiao Jingxi smiled, and in an instant, the "red buds and silver snow" in the whole forest could not compare to the brilliance he emitted at that moment.
Ren Yaoqi lowered her head and thought silently. She seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Jinglin's words "beautiful women are the root of trouble."
The two walked side by side towards the plum forest, and Nanxing and the two maids followed them from a distance tactfully.
After walking for a while, Ren Yaoqi realized that the plum forest was very quiet. There was no one else there except them. Xiao Jingxi must have made arrangements beforehand.
She turned her head and was about to speak, but found that Xiao Jingxi's eyes were fixed on her face. Seeing that she looked at him and did not look away, her heart beat fast, and she felt that the drunkenness from before was getting worse.
"What if you get wet?" Ren Yaoqi turned his head and asked.
Xiao Jingxi must have waited for her for a while before the snowflakes fell on his head. Ren Yaoqi didn't dare to ask in front of the maids. She was a little worried that he would catch a cold.
