Chapter 73 Shura Field Upgrade
In Xie Zhili's eyes, Mu Huaian's fight was just a trick.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he sneered, "Brother Mu doesn't understand the relationship between men and women. He doesn't know that this girl may not want it, but she really wants it in her heart."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Qinghuan, "I wonder if what I said makes sense?"
Xie Zhili's eyes were filled with deep meaning, so much so that Yu Qinghuan immediately thought of those passionate nights. Every time she said no, Xie Zhili became more excited.
Yu Qinghuan did not have Xie Zhili's scheming, and Mu Huaian was still here, so her attention was distracted all the time. At this moment, she just felt that Xie Zhili was shameless. She stepped hard on Xie Zhili's feet under her skirt twice, warning him to restrain himself.
Xie Zhili showed no sign of restraining his expression and let the pain in his foot continue.
Given Mu Huaian's personality, the most he would do is play the piano and brew tea with Yu Qinghuan, and he definitely hasn't done anything else.
During these nights with Yu Qinghuan, I had my own advantages.
He was afraid that Mu Huaian didn't know, so he wanted to let Mu Huaian know so that he would give up and stop bothering him. It would be best if he got off the carriage and left now to avoid being an eyesore.
Mu Huaian's eyes were bloodshot, and he unconsciously clenched the hand holding Yu Qinghuan.
He also wanted to get close, but he was not Xie Zhili, and he couldn't kiss Yu Qinghuan in front of others.
Yu Qinghuan noticed Mu Huaian's mood and silently held his hand back. Using her sleeve as a cover, she gently hooked her little finger around his palm like a kitten.
The warmth from his fingertips relaxed Mu Huaian's tense shoulders and neck a little, and his unbearable heart felt a little better.
His Adam's apple rolled under the mask, and he turned around and wrapped Yu Qinghuan's entire hand in his palm.
Yu Qinghuan curved her lips slightly towards him, a smile appearing in her eyes.
The two people's little movements did not escape the always perceptive Xie Zhili. Seeing Yu Qinghuan smiling at Mu Huaian like this, his knuckles turned white.
Why couldn't she smile at herself like this? Why?
The cold wind coming in through the gaps in the car curtains couldn't extinguish the jealousy burning in his throat. He was going crazy and couldn't figure out what was so good about Mu Huaian!
...
The carriage stopped in a busy street. It was already dusk and the street lanterns were lit.
Because it is close to New Year’s Eve, there are more vendors at the night market than the last time I came.
Whenever Yu Qinghuan passed by something delicious or fun, she would stop to look. After a while, Xie Zhili on the left had a sesame cake in his hand, and Mu Huaian on the right had a string of candied haws in his hand.
The two of them took advantage of the opportunity to put the food to Yu Qinghuan's mouth and feed it to her, as if they were competing with each other.
At this moment, the owner of the jewelry stall was dumbfounded. She didn't know whose family this young lady was from, and she had two men serving her.
Judging from the two men's figures and clothes, they are not from ordinary families.
It seems that this young lady is really capable!
The proprietress was impressed by Yu Qinghuan. Seeing that she was staring at the hairpin, she smiled and said, "If you like, you can try it."
Xie Zhili, who was standing next to her, followed Yu Qinghuan's gaze and immediately picked up the pink pearl hairpin. "Pink is delicate and suits you best."
He supported Yu Qinghuan's thin shoulders, inserted the pearl hairpin into her bun, took the bronze mirror from the proprietress, and showed Yu Qinghuan his vision.
Yu Qinghuan looked at the pearl hairpin on her bun and thought that she looked young, but wasn't she pretending to be young?
Seeing that she was not very satisfied, Mu Huaian on the side raised his lips slightly, picked up a red pearl hairpin, approached Yu Qinghuan from behind, and inserted the pearl hairpin into her bun while looking at the bronze mirror held by Xie Zhili. "It's New Year's Eve, red is festive."
Xie Zhili sneered, completely confident in his own vision.
Yu Qinghuan stared at herself in the bronze mirror. Red is a festive color, but it hasn’t been long since Xie Zhiwen died... Isn’t this a bad idea?
She immediately took off the two pearl hairpins on her head and sighed in her heart, thinking that it would be great if Sang Ru was here.
After Yu Qinghuan left, Xie Zhili immediately followed him, "If you don't like what's here, I'll go with you to the shop to choose."
Mu Huaian, who was behind, took out the silver and handed it to the proprietress, put the pearl hairpin in his arms, and then quickly followed.
As the New Year draws to a close, fireworks are dazzling and more people are releasing river lanterns. Yu Qinghuan stands by the river, watching the river lanterns drift away. He can't help but think of a time when he was a child and his family went out to view lanterns. Li bought two river lanterns for his younger brother and sister.
She also wanted to release river lanterns, but could only watch.
Xie Zhili was very observant. Seeing that she was staring at the river, he glanced at Mu Huaian and said to Yu Qinghuan, "Wait a moment, I'm going to buy something."
Yu Qinghuan nodded and watched Xie Zhili leave.
When Xie Zhili left, he was still a little worried and looked back every few steps. Finally, after confirming that she would not leave, he walked away with peace of mind.
However, as soon as he left, Mu Huaian immediately grabbed Yu Qinghuan's hand, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. "It's crowded here, it's not safe. There's no one under the bridge over there, and you can still see this side."
The implication is that you should go to a deserted place over there and wait so that if Xie Zhili comes back, you can see him at a glance.
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment. She had already promised Xie Zhili, so it would be bad to leave now, right?
However, the next moment, a burly man squeezed into the crowd and knocked the two men out of the crowd. Almost in an instant, Mu Huaian pulled the staggering Yu Qinghuan and ran away.
There were not many people under the bridge, and Yu Qinghuan felt relieved when he saw that he could indeed see the original location from this side.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Mu Huaian take out two pearl hairpins from his arms. They were the ones she had just tried on. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. "You bought them?"
Mu Huaian nodded and pinned the pink pearl hairpin that Xie Zhili had chosen earlier into Yu Qinghuan's hair. "Actually, he has good taste. Pink really suits you."
His gentle voice mixed with the noise on the bridge, and Yu Qinghuan felt an indescribable joy in her heart.
The lights on the river swayed, and the two of them exchanged glances. Yu Qinghuan clearly saw her own reflection in Mu Huaian's eyes. She felt a little apologetic, "I'm sorry, I wronged you today, but it was indeed him who went out with me first today..."
Mu Huaian suddenly leaned over and hugged Yu Qinghuan. Although he still felt sad, he comforted her, "It's okay, I'm late."
Yu Qinghuan felt uncomfortable, slowly closed her eyes, and put her arms around his thin waist.
At this moment, fireworks exploded on the bridge, illuminating the two of them, as well as Xie Zhili who was returning with two river lanterns.
Xie Zhili looked coldly at the two people hugging each other in front of him, his knuckles were pinched white, and the bamboo lamp stand made a creaking sound in his hands as it could not bear the weight.
"Snap!" The river lantern slammed heavily onto the bluestone slab, and the lantern paper was burned by the splashing wax.
Xie Zhili strode towards the two of them, his clothes filled with murderous intent. Right behind Mu Huaian, he raised his hand to grab Yu Qinghuan's neck, then leaned over and bit her slightly open red lips.
Yu Qinghuan opened her eyes in astonishment, her eyelashes trembling slightly. The breath from Xie Zhili's lips and the agarwood scent on Mu Huaian's body intertwined and entangled in her nostrils.
The crowd around her was cheering for the fireworks, but her mind was blank...
