0063 Floral Robe (Part Two) [Bonus Chapter for Qixi Festival]
Zhan Yaoguang was tall and handsome, with a cool and youthful air about him. As soon as he stepped into the fragrant and luxurious Kuai Zai Pavilion, it was as if a ray of spring sunshine slanted into the room.
All the female guests in the room couldn't help but look at him, and when they looked at the young man accompanying them, they felt that something was missing.
The boy was oblivious to the stares he was being given, only wanting to go upstairs, when suddenly a group of beautiful women blocked his way on the steps.
"Where do you come from, young master? Are you a new male prostitute at the Kuai Zai Pavilion?"
Zhan Yaoguang frowned, glanced at them, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and tried her best to speak kindly: "No, I'm here to find someone."
The group exchanged glances, and the woman in purple at the head of the group laughed, "Looking for someone here? I'm afraid you can't really be serious. What young lady would be willing to come out and look for someone else when she has such a handsome husband? Since you are such a woman who doesn't cherish what you have, why don't you come with me? I can get rid of your current lovers for you."
The woman's words struck a nerve with Zhan Yaoguang, and his expression changed drastically as he blurted out, "She didn't abandon me!"
"Wow, what a lively and energetic young man! His hair even sticks up when he talks!"
Behind him, a woman in green stared intently at his tied-up hair, eagerly reaching out her fingertips to stroke the ends.
Zhan Yaoguang was startled and quickly dodged, fortunately preventing the other party from succeeding.
His face suddenly darkened, and even his handsome, sharp features turned cold: "Don't touch me, or I'll really throw you all off the building."
At the same time, a door a few steps away opened, and a slender and beautiful girl in pink walked out, followed by a young man in autumn-colored clothes, who called out, "Young lady, wait! I... I'm willing to change it for you."
Zhan Yaoguang looked up in response and met Shu Fu's eyes. A moment later, his gaze fell on her waist, where he saw a thin silk ribbon extending far behind her, held in the hand of that lecherous man.
He was momentarily stunned, his face gradually paled, and he felt as if his shattered heart had finally crumbled into dust.
...
The women were indeed momentarily intimidated by him, but upon reflection, they realized that he was alone at the moment, and even if he had some skills, how could he possibly withstand their numbers?
The young women chattered and laughed incessantly, and several clusters of fragrant clouds formed a flower wall that rushed towards him.
Zhan Yaoguang was already heartbroken and on the verge of death. After hearing a few teasing and joking words, she could no longer suppress her anger.
The boy's face was cold and stern. He thought to himself that he had already warned them not to come any closer, but they still pretended not to hear him. So, throwing them downstairs to teach them a lesson wouldn't be too rude, would it?
As he was thinking, he reached out to push the nearest woman away, but unexpectedly, a gentle breeze blew behind him, carrying a faint fragrance.
Suddenly, the crescent moon, pale gold against the deep blue sky outside the building, shone brightly, and a pool of spring stars drifted into his heart.
His movements faltered, allowing the hand to reach out from behind, slip into his empty palm, and then gently twist one of his index fingers.
"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for ages!"
“Afu…” His heart skipped a beat, and he called her name softly.
The girl lowered her voice and said quickly, "Don't talk. Remember to hold my waist later."
Zhan Yaoguang was confused and was suddenly pulled to the wall by her. Her back hit the wall, and he subconsciously reached out to put his hand on her back, but she grabbed it and led it to the girl's supple waist.
In her daze, she suddenly leaped onto him, wrapped her legs around his waist, and pressed her soft, fragrant lips against his.
His heart pounded, and he felt as if the surroundings had suddenly become quiet, with only the rustling and swirling of the wind remaining.
Zhan Yaoguang grew up in the southern border region and was not a person with a sense of shame. He was not embarrassed to kiss in front of others, let alone that Shu Fu kissed him herself this time.
He was stunned for only a moment, and after he came to his senses, he did as she said, wrapped his arms around her waist, and sucked and bit her with all his might.
Shu Fu's heart pounded wildly. She had never done anything so bold as to kiss in front of so many people before.
Ashamed to see the shock and mockery in the eyes of everyone present, she lowered her eyelashes and closed her eyes tightly.
She had recently drunk some osmanthus wine, and the aroma of osmanthus lingered on her lips and teeth.
But the boy had never tasted the fine wines of the Central Plains, so he couldn't appreciate the flavor at all. He only vaguely felt that it was like golden osmanthus petals hidden among leaves cut from green jade, which, when swept by the wind carrying snow, melted into a cool and sweet aroma.
It's osmanthus.
The color of her robe resembled that of the lecherous man who pulled the silk ribbon from her skirt.
It didn't feel like this when he kissed her before!
Did she kiss that person like this before he arrived?
Zhan Yaoguang felt a lump in her throat, but her heart was pounding. She felt as if she had been torn apart into many pieces, each piece screaming out completely different emotions.
It's okay. Even if she did kiss him, as long as he kisses her more and longer, he'll eventually cover up the traces and scent of someone else.
The women were all quite astonished by the beautiful scene before them, but gradually they realized that this young girl was probably the one he was looking for.
Or perhaps—
They glanced at the gilded "Heaven" character on the plaques of the only two rooms on this floor, then looked at the girl's exquisitely beautiful face, and concluded that the girl was of noble status and incomparably beautiful, while the young man was proud and arrogant and unwilling to serve them, but was willing to bow down for her.
But regardless of the reason, this trip will ultimately miss out on such a rare and bright young man.
The woman in green snorted and flicked her sleeve: "I thought you were such a clean and proud young man, but it turns out you're just a social climber. How boring."
She turned and walked away. After a moment of stunned silence, the rest of the crowd also left, leaving only Su Ruoxing standing there.
“Young lady…” Su Ruoxing called out to her in a daze.
Shu Fu's breath was hot and erratic from the kiss. Seeing that all the people who had been entangled with Zhan Yaoguang had left, she slightly slid her hand down the back of his neck, signaling him to let go of her.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Yaoguang seemed to be stung by something, and his lips, which had been slightly away, pressed against hers again, rubbing against her soft lip beads and pushing in once more.
That scoundrel called her! How dare he call her that!
Everyone else is here, is that person pretending not to see them?
Zhan Yaoguang couldn't bring herself to be magnanimous enough to be in the same environment as this person again, so she held Shu Fu tightly in her arms, kicked open the door on the side of the wall, slipped inside, and left Su Ruoxing alone outside.
Li Miao was also startled by the commotion outside and went out with her two husbands.
Seeing Su Ruoxing standing alone outside, looking dejected, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here alone? Where is the lady who came out earlier?"
Su Ruoxing shook his head, his eyes downcast: "The young lady didn't choose me, but she took a fancy to another young man, and now she's entered this room..."
Li Miao's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Really? She really chose someone? What does the young man look like?"
She knew that Shu Fu was shy and reserved in matters of the heart, and would never be able to be as open and generous as Shu Fu in keeping male lovers.
I brought her to Kuai Zai Pavilion this time just to let her feast her eyes and let her know that there are plenty of handsome young men in the world, and countless others who would flatter her, so that she wouldn't be heartbroken over Liang Zhiyan. I never expected that she would actually take a liking to one.
But that's fine too; the most important thing is that Shu Fu is happy. If one day Minister Shu and Madam Luo find out about this and they are so angry that they refuse to acknowledge her, then the Huayang Princess's Mansion won't mind raising another young lady.
“I didn’t get a good look at the young man’s face, but he is tall and slender, and his profile is also handsome. He must be quite good-looking. Perhaps he is a newcomer to the brothel,” Su Ruoxing replied softly.
Upon hearing this, Li Miao was completely relieved. With a smile, she instructed the pimp to send away the other seven unsuccessful suitors in the room, along with Su Ruoxing, and gave each of them a generous reward.
Although the young men were somewhat disappointed, they all turned their sorrow into joy after receiving their reward money and happily left. Only Su Ruoxing hesitated several times, glancing back at the tightly closed door each time.

Feifei's thought process is like this: I kissed her → It smells so good, but it's osmanthus, it didn't smell like this before → Osmanthus = golden yellow → Autumn-colored clothes = golden yellow → ...What a lecherous bastard TAT
