Chapter 80: Didn’t you say it wasn’t scary?
Since the last time, the two of them have been making plans to go out for dinner together.
Xiao Mingxuan controlled her more and more. Not only was her diet restricted, but even her favorite candy was confiscated.
It's a nice way of saying it's for her teeth's sake.
"Princess, the Ninth Prince sent his secretary to tell you that he had some urgent matters to attend to and would be arriving a little later." Yun Hui handed a cup of tea to Xihe and spoke slowly.
"Is that so?" Xihe sat on the couch, swinging her little feet. The bells tied to her ankles jingled pleasantly. "Then let's go find my cousin first. We should still be in time."
Xihe had been having so much fun these past two days that she almost forgot the box Zhao Siyuan asked her to give to Xu Chengyuan.
Xihe looked at the box from left to right but didn't open it.
"What's in here?"
She is really curious.
Ever since Xu Chengyuan received Yun Hui's message, he started to dress himself up early. The mud monkey that was usually thrown into the mud pit by his own father to roll around has now dressed up and looks like a human being, and is very energetic.
He waited under the big tree, pacing back and forth, feeling a little nervous.
After all, this is the first time that my little cousin has asked me out.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of bells coming from far away.
"Cousin, you're here so early."
Xihe's sweet voice sounded behind him, with an unfathomable smile on her face, just like a little fox.
"Sister, you are finally here."
It is now mid-April and the summer heat has quietly arrived. It only takes a short while to feel a little hot.
"Sorry, cousin, I'm late." Xihe grinned at Xu Chengyuan.
"It's okay, it's not too late." Xu Chengyuan waved his hands quickly. After a while, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xihe's hands behind her back, "Sister, you asked me to come..."
"Of course I have something for my cousin." The little girl had a mysterious smile on her face, and the thing hidden behind her seemed to be a rare treasure.
"What is that! Quick! Let me see it!" Xu Chengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept looking behind Xihe, eager to try.
Xihe played tricks for a while, then handed the box over.
"Cousin, this box is..."
"Xiao Xi'er!"
Xihe's half-sentence got stuck in her throat, and her small body suddenly stiffened.
Following the sound, I saw Xiao Mingxuan with a cold expression standing by the flowers not far away.
For a moment, Xihe suspected that Xiao Mingxuan had installed some kind of positioning system on her, as it was always so accurate.
Whenever she meets outsiders, Xiao Mingxuan will definitely know.
"Little brother, are you done?" The lackey Zhao Xihe came online with a flattering smile on his face.
Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lips and stood there without saying a word.
Under the peach tree, the flowers are charming, the handsome men and beautiful women are smiling sweetly, and the wind seems to have become more sensible, blowing gently, for fear of blowing away this beautiful scene.
Only he stood far away outside the curtain, like an outsider.
This scene is extremely dazzling.
"Ninth Prince?" Xu Chengyuan was dumbfounded. Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt the air around him freeze for a moment. "Is there something wrong, Ninth Prince?"
"What? Can't you come if there's nothing wrong? Prince Xu bought this road?" Xiao Mingxuan said coldly.
He was rarely so aggressive and was even more reluctant to get into conflict with others. This was the first time.
Xu Chengyuan wasn't a fool, but he wasn't very smart either. Although he sensed Xiao Mingxuan's hostility towards him, he couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only foolishly respond, "That's not the case, but my sister and I have something to discuss right now, and it might not be convenient for the Ninth Prince to be here."
"Oh? Inconvenient? What's inconvenient?" The words were spoken to Xu Chengyuan, but Xiao Mingxuan's eyes never left Xihe from beginning to end.
The little girl laughed dryly and looked away awkwardly.
It’s over, the big bad wolf is going to eat people!
Xu Chengyuan didn't expect the other party to ask so much, and he was embarrassed for a moment, "This..."
Xiao Mingxuan walked forward, and the petals rose and fell on his shoulders with the wind, and soon fell to the ground and were crushed into the dust and mud.
He stared at the box with a sharp gaze, as if trying to make a flower bloom. Suddenly he asked, "It looks like a gift."
Just a few words made Xihe shiver.
"Little brother, listen to me, this is..."
Before Xihe could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Chengyuan again.
"You're talking about this? My younger sister just gave it to me." Xu Chengyuan was so proud that he couldn't let go of the box. He didn't notice that the person behind him had a dark face. A moment later, he continued to add fuel to the fire, "I heard that the eldest and second princes don't have it. This is the only one, and my younger sister gave it to me personally!"
"Is this the only one?" Xiao Mingxuan asked gritting his teeth.
Xu Chengyuan didn't notice at all and continued to show off, "Yeah, it seems that I am very important to my sister."
Xihe kept winking at Xu Chengyuan, but that guy seemed to be blind. He just held the box complacently and completely ignored Xihe's pleas.
The little girl sighed helplessly, and when she turned her head, she met Xiao Mingxuan's slightly narrowed eyes. She was frightened by the coldness in the other's eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.
Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were filled with frost.
Xiao Mingxuan took a deep breath, looked at the box, and said slowly: "I wonder... what good things are inside. Prince Xu, would you like to open it and take a look?"
Xu Chengyuan hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, let's see!"
He confidently opened the lock of the box. As soon as the lid was opened, a touch of red caught his eye. The shape of a clown bounced up and headed straight for Xu Chengyuan's face.
"Ah! What the hell is this thing!" Xu Chengyuan was startled and subconsciously threw the box in his hand away.
Xiao Mingxuan was quick to act and pulled Xihe back a step.
The three people looked at the box not far away and fell into silence.
A red clown-shaped figure popped out of the box. It looked funny, as if it was mocking them. Judging from the craftsmanship, it should be something from the Tianji Academy.
Xu Chengyuan's soul was floating around. He looked at Xihe with a lingering fear, his voice trembling with obvious fear. "Sister, I didn't offend you, did I? You wouldn't give me this thing just to scare me, would you?"
Xiao Mingxuan cast an inquiring look at Xihe with some embarrassment.
The gift he had been jealous of for half a day turned out to be a clown?
Being stared at by the two men, Xihe looked at the clown with a complicated expression, and the desire to drag Zhao Siyuan out and beat him up reached its peak.
Didn’t you say it wasn’t scary?
What about the normal things we said?
Isn’t this a scam?
After a moment, he uttered helplessly, "If I say it wasn't me, would you believe me?"
Xu Chengyuan felt hopeless, like a little resentful woman who had been let down, and asked, "Do you think I believe it?"
Xihe: "..."
Okay.
He was invisibly blamed for something he did not like, and he was a big mouth.
