Chapter 126 Xu Heyi: "Zhu Bao, there's no one here..."
After dinner, Liu Yangui took the opportunity to ask Jiang Nuanzhu about Fu Qingyin.
"Sister-in-law, Miss Fu didn't pass my WeChat."
Jiang Nuanzhu said gently: "That means she doesn't want to talk to you, just give up."
Liu Yangui: "...I know, isn't this because I want you to say something good for me?"
Jiang Nuanzhu looked at him with a smile: "I respect all of Qingyin's ideas. She didn't add you because it's for your own good."
Liu Yangui is good, but he can't lead Fu Qingyin out of that fire pit.
If this is the case, the best attitude is to refuse contact from the beginning.
Seeing Jiang Nuanzhu's firm attitude, Liu Yangui was so anxious that she scratched her head and had to reveal a piece of news: "Sister-in-law, I heard that Miss Fu is getting engaged soon?"
Jiang Nuanzhu's expression froze. "Did you hear which company it was booked from?"
"You don't know?" Liu Yangui asked, and suddenly guessed something: "Song Ziyan of the Song family is not bad...but is there any hidden story behind this?"
Jiang Nuanzhu looked at him quietly, and Liu Yangui sighed: "Forget it, just think that I'm unlucky and we're not destined to be together."
After Liu Yangui left, Jiang Nuanzhu sent a message to Fu Qingyin.
The Song family is a famous family in the capital with a profound heritage.
If Fu Qingyin was really engaged to Song Ziyan, she would be marrying above her station.
When Jiang Nuanzhu heard this, she guessed that this marriage was arranged by Fu Qingyin's father, and she felt a little worried.
Xu Heyi saw her worry and didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, he helped Jiang Nuanzhu board a small boat.
There is a tea table in the cabin, a pot of water on the clay stove next to it, two stools and a chess board.
The boatman at the bow was rowing quietly.
Xu Heyi said to Wen Jing, "Your sister-in-law and I are going to relax. You guys can have fun by yourselves."
Wen Jing glanced at him: "Are you coming back tonight?"
Xu Heyi glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"
"Brother, Brother Jing is worried that you will stay too late on the lake, so he is going to arrange a guest room for you. Don't think too much."
Liu Yangui’s explanation would be worse than no explanation at all.
Xu Heyi glanced at him calmly: "Did you eat too much tonight?"
Liu Yangui suddenly stopped talking and pulled Wen Jing over and said, "Brother Jing, I heard you bought a new boat? I want to go see it too."
Wen Jing pushed his hand away and said disdainfully, "Don't cuddle with me, you're such a woman."
Jiang Nuanzhu looked at their backs and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have a friend like Mr. Wen."
Xu Heyi: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Nuanzhu stared at Xu Heyi's elegant and noble face for a moment, then raised her hand and poked the Band-Aid on the corner of his mouth.
"I just feel like your temperaments don't match."
No matter how polite and courteous Wen Jing behaved, he still exuded an air of wildness and unbridled tameness, like a beast that had just emerged from an African arena.
Just like a gentleman's suit cannot hide his well-developed muscles and the fierceness in his bones.
He and Xu Heyi have completely different temperaments, and Jiang Nuanzhu couldn't understand how they became friends.
Xu Heyi held Jiang Nuanzhu's hand and took it into his hand.
The man said indifferently, "I met him abroad. He stowed away, and I took him in. We lived together for a while."
Jiang Nuanzhu leaned into Xu Heyi's arms.
"I said... he has a bandit vibe."
This is an atmosphere rarely seen in this era.
Xu Heyi didn't explain much, "Do you want to go see the lotus?"
"Yes." Jiang Nuanzhu smiled and said, "I've never done anything so elegant as to go boating and watch the lotus flowers at night."
Jiang Nuanzhu had just finished speaking when Xu Heyi took out a lantern from somewhere and handed it to her, "There are no lights on the lake, so it's hard to see clearly."
Jiang Nuanzhu walked to the stern carrying a lantern. The dim light flickered, illuminating the green and pink lotus flowers blooming on the lotus leaves around her.
The lotus leaves are broad and green, the lotus petals are stretched out, and a fresh fragrance wafts from the tip of the nose.
Jiang Nuanzhu: "Can I pick the flowers here?"
"This entire lake is contracted by Wen Jing, so you can fill it up even if you want."
"Why would I fill up the lake if I have nothing to do?!" Jiang Nuanzhu handed the lantern to Xu Heyi: "Help me hold it."
Xu Heyi took the lantern and helped Jiang Nuanzhu light it, keeping his eyes on her, fearing that something might happen.
The boat pushed the water on both sides away, and there was a sound of undercurrent, with clusters of lotus leaves beside it.
The tassels swayed under the lanterns, and the light was dim and soft, falling on Jiang Nuanzhu's delicate and beautiful profile, as if blending with the night and scenery beside her, like a magnificent painting.
There is a unique charm in admiring beauties at night.
Xu Heyi stared at Jiang Nuanzhu quietly, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Jiang Nuanzhu held a handful of lotus flowers and looked at him sideways, her eyebrows and eyes smiling like the moon, "Xu Heyi, look, I picked a lot of lotus flowers!"
Xu Heyi's eyes were so dark that they almost blended into the night.
He responded softly, "I'll take it home and put it in a vase later."
"That's what I thought."
Jiang Nuanzhu stood up, forgetting there was a small step below, and stepped on empty air.
She subconsciously called out, "Xu Heyi!"
Xu Heyi had already stepped forward, put his long arms around her waist, and held her in his arms.
"Did you sprain your ankle?" Xu Heyi's first concern was whether she was injured.
"fine."
Jiang Nuanzhu put her hand on his shoulder and shook her head. While Xu Heyi was looking at her ankle, she playfully kissed the corner of his lips.
Xu Heyi froze.
He raised his eyes slightly and saw Jiang Nuanzhu covering her face with the lotus in her arms, pretending to look at the lotus in the river.
Xu Heyi put down Jiang Nuanzhu's legs and said in a low voice: "Zhu Bao, there is no one here. If you want to kiss me, you can do so openly without hiding anything."
Jiang Nuanzhu put down the lotus and lowered her voice: "Who kissed you? Besides, isn't it behind you?"
Although the boatman didn't say anything, he is still a human being after all.
Xu Heyi said calmly: "The bow and stern are too far apart, he can't see us."
After saying that, Xu Heyi stared at Jiang Nuanzhu's red lips with a subtle but aggressive look, and suddenly asked softly: "What lipstick are you wearing tonight?"
Jiang Nuanzhu was stunned. "I didn't wear lipstick, I only wore lipstick."
Xu Heyi leaned over and said, "Let me try it."
While biting his red lips, he said considerately: "I'm covering it with a lotus, so he can't see it."
Jiang Nuanzhu wanted to retreat, but Xu Heyi tightened his grip around her waist, "If you retreat any further, you'll fall into the lake."
Jiang Nuanzhu was so scared that she dodged forward, which was exactly what Xu Heyi wanted.
Not only was the waist tightly wrapped, but even the breathing was intertwined.
As the lips and teeth blend together, the tip of the nose is filled with the faint fragrance of lotus, mixed with a hint of alcohol.
Both of them seemed to be about to fall drunk in the lotus bushes.
The lotus leaf in Jiang Nuanzhu's hand fell onto the deck, making a slight sound, which startled people back to their senses.
She stared at Xu Heyi for a moment, and finally couldn't help laughing at the Band-Aid, and fell into Xu Heyi's arms with laughter.
Xu Heyi grabbed her and bullied her again, as if he wanted to kiss her red lips to pieces and rub the spring love into her bones.
As they kissed, the Band-Aid on the corner of Xu Heyi's mouth disappeared.
Jiang Nuanzhu sat in the flowers, feeling a little guilty. "Where's your Band-Aid?"
"It's gone." Xu Heyi didn't care, his voice slightly hoarse.
He sat casually, leaning against the side of the boat, his angular face calm and elegant, only his eyes were particularly bright and hot in the dark night.
"How about we look for it?" Jiang Nuanzhu avoided Xu Heyi's sight and looked around at the ground. "It won't be good if we go back later."
The kiss was so fierce that she was still gasping for breath.
Of course, they didn't find it. Jiang Nuanzhu was a little tired, so she just held a picked lotus and half-lay on the side of the boat.
Through the lotus flowers in the lake, you can see the twinkling stars in the sky.
After looking for a long time, it seems that only broken stars and the boundless sky are left in the eyes, as if they have merged into one with the lotus in the lake around them.
Jiang Nuanzhu suddenly said: "After getting drunk, I didn't know the sky was in the water, and the bed was full of sweet dreams, pressing down on the stars..."
"Zhubao, are you drunk?"
Xu Heyi sat and lay down beside her, no longer as dignified and serious as he was during the day, but with a touch of gentleness that penetrated her bones.
"No." Jiang Nuanzhu looked at the broken stars above his head and suddenly said, "I just remembered that this is the second time I have seen such a beautiful starry sky."
The last time was when I was nine years old.
She walked alone up half the mountain. The shadows of the trees and the chirping of cicadas along the way were a little blurry. She only remembered the starry sky above her head. The stars were dazzling, as if they illuminated half the sky.
The starlight reflected in Xu Heyi's dark eyes, and he said meaningfully: "Me too."
