Chapter 146 Cover your face to avoid attracting attention
Ye Runan, sensing something was amiss, coughed dryly in an attempt to appease a certain prince: "Well, perhaps this lantern festival tonight is specially prepared for unmarried men and women, so it's not surprising that the girls are a bit enthusiastic..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshi immediately wanted to say a few words, because he also felt that Ye Runan was right.
Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, Xiao Jiwu suddenly pulled him and walked straight forward.
Yun Qingshi was already weak and had no strength, so once he was pulled, he had no choice but to follow forward.
Seeing this, Ye Runan followed helplessly, fanning himself.
It seems his junior brother's love life has been full of twists and turns...
Yun Qingshi's wrist was so painful from being grabbed. He tried to struggle but couldn't get it free. He could only ask, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy? Look how you scared that girl just now. She—"
Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Xiao Jiwu before he could finish his words.
Prince Xiao stopped and asked coldly, "Do you care so much about her feelings?"
Yun Qingshi: ...
When did he care about that girl's feelings?
This isn't a question of caring or not, it's a question of politeness.
He'd better shut up...
Yun Qingshi chose to lower his head and no longer look at Xiao Jiwu.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiwu continued to pull Yun Qingshi forward without saying a word.
Prince Xiao didn't stop again until he came to a stall selling masks.
Yun Qingshi was puzzled and didn't understand why Xiao Jiwu suddenly wanted to buy a mask.
But he soon got the answer.
Because after Xiao Jiwu bought the mask, he handed it directly to him.
It was a snow-white cat mask.
Then, Xiao Jiwu spoke again: "Cover your face, so you won't attract any attention."
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi was also a little unhappy at this moment, and he also had something to refute Xiao Jiwu.
He said, "When I wanted to wear a mask, you told me not to. Why are you asking me to wear this now? And I think I'm not the only one who had a handkerchief thrown by the girl just now."
Why do you say he attracts bees and butterflies? If he wants to attract someone, he would attract them all at once.
Prince Xiao pursed his lips but did not put the mask back. He just opened his thin lips and uttered two more words: "Put it on."
Of course he remembered that it was he who asked Ying Shiyi not to cover his face, but things were different now, and he didn't want anyone to target Ying Shiyi.
Ye Runan was just tired watching from the side. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and stood against the wall.
He regretted it. He shouldn't have come out to join in the fun...
Yun Qingshi was speechless and just stared at Xiao Jiwu.
Then gradually, he saw an emotion called sadness on Prince Xiao's face.
Yun Qingshi: ...
Yun Qingshi couldn't believe his eyes and couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Then I looked up again, and the sadness was still there.
What did he say? Why is he like this...
Yun Qingshi has always been a soft-hearted person. He couldn't bear to see Xiao Jiwu still being bullied by his beastly father.
So, Yun Qingshi finally compromised and took the kitten mask: "Okay, okay, I'll wear it. Is it okay if I wear it?"
He put on the mask quickly and neatly, but still couldn't help muttering under his breath: "It's as if I'm the only one attracting bees and butterflies. Obviously, you are the one who should be wearing the mask..."
Prince Xiao was finally satisfied, and asked knowingly, "What did you say?"
Yun Qingshi said casually: "Nothing, I said I was going to buy some Guokui to eat."
Fortunately, it was a half-face mask that only covered his nose and eyes, otherwise it would have affected his eating.
Xiao Jiwu heard the boy's perfunctory tone and didn't say much. He just calmly followed him.
And everything that happened before was just a small episode and it is over for the time being.
The three of them walked and stopped along the way.
In fact, it was mainly Yun Qingshi who would stop to look every time he saw something new, so the other two had to accompany him.
He bought a lot of small gadgets along the way, and his mood quickly improved. He really didn't care about acupuncture anymore.
The three of them also had dinner outside. Around midnight, Yun Qingshi returned to the house contentedly, carrying a tiger lantern.
Perhaps he was really tired from walking around, so after returning to the house and washing up, he went to bed early and prepared to go to sleep.
After the two of them lay down, Yun Qingshi fell into a deep sleep in a short while without any care in the world.
But in the darkness, Xiao Jiwu stared at the young man intently, unable to fall asleep...
————
The next day, still in the afternoon, Ye Runan gave Yun Qingshi acupuncture for the third time, and finally completely eliminated the poison burning his heart.
After that, Ye Runan gave Yun Qingshi a bottle of health-enhancing medicine and left the house and returned to Beijing.
Yun Qingshi didn't dare to delay any longer, as he was always worried that the truth would be revealed at the Huguo Temple.
Although Ying Yi looks no different from Xiao Jiwu after changing his appearance, their behaviors and personalities are different. Also, the disguise technique cannot change the eye color, so Ying Yi can only wear an eye veil, but that is ultimately unsafe.
Therefore, the next day after being completely detoxified, Yun Qingshi and Xiao Jiwu set out to return.
However, Yun Qingshi suffered a great loss this time, so even if the poison was completely removed, it would not be easy for his body to recover. So, just like when they came, he and Xiao Jiwu rode together, and Ying San was responsible for escorting them.
The three of them set out early in the morning, but this time it was not as urgent as when they came here, so they did not have to travel all night. Therefore, they found an inn to stay in at night and set out again the next day.
The journey was long, and they finally arrived back at Huguo Temple in the evening of the next day.
Of course they couldn't go through the main gate this time, but this obviously didn't pose a problem for the three of them.
Xiao Jiwu quietly carried Yun Qingshi back to the meditation room, and Ying San also went downstairs to rest.
When Zhao Mingde entered the room to serve tea, he saw Xiao Jiwu holding Yun Qingshi and sitting intimately beside the couch. He realized that the two had returned and was immediately overjoyed.
As for Ying Yi and Ying Twelve, they didn't learn the news until they returned after the ceremony in the temple hall.
When Ying Twelve saw Yun Qingshi coming back, it was like he had seen a life-saving straw, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything has been back on track since then.
Ying Yi and Ying Twelve had already gone down to remove the disguises on their faces and hid in the dark.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner. Yun Qingshi was waiting at the table early because he was hungry and riding a horse was very tiring.
But after Changshun served the food, he lost his appetite.
A table full of vegetarian dishes.
How could he forget that eating meat is not allowed in the temple.
But there was still one meaty dish on the table, a soup.
But that soup, at first glance, doesn't look very appetizing.
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but ask Xiao Jiwu, "Aren't meat and fish forbidden in temples? How could this be allowed?"
Soup made from pig liver?
Hey, what kind of dark cuisine is this? It looks so unpalatable. Xiao Jiwu actually likes to drink this?
