Noticing Ren Yaoqi's gaze, Xiao Jingxi felt happy, and his smiling face became even more attractive.
Xiao Jinglin coughed lightly, glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said, "It's getting late, let's go, otherwise we won't be able to get back in the afternoon."
Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Where are we going?"
Xiao Jinglin had said before that they were out for an outing today, and she thought it would be near Tianqing Mountain, but from what Xiao Jinglin said, it seemed that the place they were going was quite far away.
Xiao Jinglin glanced at Xiao Jingxi.
Xiao Jingxi looked at Ren Yaoqi and smiled, "Let's go to the hot spring villa. I asked someone to make a few big kites, but they can't be released here."
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she heard this. She naturally liked to play with Xiao Jinglin, but this climbing party was prepared by Madam Xu and her mother. It was okay for her to leave for a while, but it would not be good if she didn't show up all the time.
As if knowing what Ren Yaoqi was struggling with, Xiao Jinglin said, "I had already informed Mr. Ouyang when I came to see you. She knows my temper best. Don't worry, she will cover for you."
Ren Yaoqi felt something was strange, but she couldn't put her finger on what was strange about it. However, she was still a little hesitant.
Xiao Jingxi paused and suddenly said, "I drew the kite."
"Ah?" Ren Yaoqi blinked and looked at Xiao Jingxi, not reacting for a moment.
"I drew the kite." Xiao Jingxi repeated.
Although he was still smiling, his eyes dimmed a little, and he whispered again: "Aren't you going?"
Ren Yaoqi blushed. She wanted to say that it was really inconvenient today and she couldn't just leave like that. But when the words came to her lips, she didn't know why she met Xiao Jingxi's gaze and couldn't say them. When she inexplicably said the word "go", she was stunned herself.
Her voice was not loud, but Xiao Jingxi heard it clearly. A happy arc appeared at the corner of his lips, and the gloom in his eyes was immediately illuminated by the light that broke through the clouds in an instant.
Xiao Jinglin turned his head away as if he couldn't bear to watch it, and snorted in his heart.
Ren Yaoqi bit her lip, she felt that she must have been possessed by an evil spirit. However, since she had already agreed, she could not regret it. She could only turn around and get on the carriage, but she did not dare to look at Xiao Jingxi again.
Xiao Jinglin asked Ren Yaoqi to get on the carriage first. After Ren Yaoqi got on, she looked Xiao Jingxi up and down with contempt and said, "Do you know what you look like now?"
Xiao Jingxi was in a good mood. Although he knew that Xiao Jinglin would definitely not say anything good, he still smiled good-naturedly: "What?"
Xiao Jinglin rolled his eyes: "Peacock! A male one! Spreading its tail feathers! So don't turn your back to me now!" After saying this, Xiao Jinglin jumped onto his carriage.
Xiao Jingxi: "..."
When the carriage was halfway there, Xiao Jinglin hesitated for a long time before he calmly asked Ren Yaoqi, "Do you know how King Wu of Yin and King You of Zhou lost their kingdoms in history?"
Ren Yaoqi was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Xiao Jinglin suddenly brought up this. Just as he was about to respond, Xiao Jinglin sighed and continued earnestly, "The bloody lessons in history books teach us a lesson: don't be easily deceived by beauty. Beauty's tears are the tomb of heroes!"
