"Let me tell you, the teahouse that just opened at home is not only excellent, but the view from the second-floor windows along the riverbank is also quite beautiful. Third Brother will take you for a look!" The man's voice came from the corner of the stairs, and judging from the footsteps, there seemed to be quite a few people. "During the competition, Second Brother handed the team over to me, which meant I didn't have much time to talk to you. We just had a chance to chat, and now we have to part ways again."
The sound grew closer, and Xu Yuehuai paused in her tea-drinking. A thought flashed through her mind, and she turned to look, meeting the man's gaze. The sunlight shone precisely on Xu Yuehuai's face at that moment, making her hair appear slightly yellow, highlighting her oval face and fair, porcelain-like skin.
Standing next to the man, Ke Ren's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw the woman. She quickly walked to Xu Yuehuai's side and sweetly called out, "Yueyue! What are you doing here? Why didn't you come to find me after you left the academy?"
"I clearly told you to stay with me at the Pu family's house for the next two days, but you said you were going to cultivate at the academy. Then you turned around and came out on your own." The little girl said, her eyes still showing some sadness, as if she had been let down.
Pu Erge took two steps forward, looked at Xu Yuehuai and said, "Alright, little sister, Yueyue doesn't want to bother us, so stop being unreasonable."
The man who was standing next to Ji Yuanchi stared wide-eyed at the sight, looking utterly incredulous. He had just seen his reserved and demure sister laughing so happily, and even flirting with a woman who was as beautiful as an angel.
"Who is this?" The man stared at Xu Yuehuai's face for a moment, then asked after he came to his senses.
Ji Yuanchi looked at the man, raised her head and said, "This is my good friend Xu Yuehuai, whom I told you about! You can call her Yueyue!"
“Yueyue, this is my third brother! You can call him Third Brother too!” Ji Yuanchi shared his family with Xu Yuehuai without hesitation.
Pu Sange blushed slightly and stood aside like a young boy, at a loss for what to do.
"Hello, Third Brother." Xu Yuehuai greeted Third Brother Pu. As soon as he said it, Third Brother Pu's ears turned bright red.
“Hello…” Pu Sange stammered in response.
With Xu Yuehuai's consent, her solo trip turned into a group of four. As the person who knew the store best, Brother Pu ordered a lot of food, glancing at Xu Yuehuai from time to time, as if to see her opinion and level of satisfaction.
Xu Yuehuai took a couple of bites and found them quite good.
Without realizing it, he nodded in agreement, and Pu Sange, who was standing next to him, blushed again because of this small gesture.
Pu Erge knew his younger brother best; judging from his expression, he knew that he was about to fall in love.
"Does Yueyue have any plans for this afternoon? If not, how about having your newly acquainted Third Brother show us around?" Second Brother Pu's face was expressionless, but his tone was relatively gentle.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanchi nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, Yueyue, you should come with us! It's more fun with more people. After we met Third Brother, he insisted on taking us all out, and even mocked me, saying that although I've been in Qingcheng for a long time, I don't know Qingcheng as well as he does!"
Ji Yuanchi complained, and Pu Sange, who was standing to the side, sneered and said, "I'm telling the truth. You used to run around with the servants in the house, and you treated those servants very well. You never cared about us brothers or this wonderful world!"
As the saying goes, the knife from one's own brother is the most piercing. Ji Yuanchi wanted to deny it, but what he said was all true, leaving him speechless.
"You! Fine, I won't hold it against you." Ji Yuanchi put her hands on her hips, still unconvinced, but looking like she was letting him off the hook.
Brother Pu just chuckled and didn't continue teasing.
Only Brother Pu remained online, asking, "How is it, Yueyue? What do you think?"
Xu Yuehuai watched their playful interactions and initially wanted to refuse, as it wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like her to get involved. However, as she looked up, she met Pu Erge's gaze. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he looked at her, as if he were looking at his own sister.
Pu Erge truly regarded her as his sister, just like Ji Yuanchi.
"Okay." Xu Yuehuai didn't know how to refuse for a moment, so she agreed.
Of the three, Ji Yuanchi was the most excited, Pu Sange was the most nervous, and Pu Erge remained calm with a smile on his face.
After finishing their tea, the three went to their next destination. When Ji Yuanchi and Pu Erge arrived at the door, they saw people coming and going inside, dressed provocatively with lewd smiles on their faces. Both of them turned their gazes to Pu Sange.
Xu Yuehuai was a beat behind, but she also looked over.
Pu Sange was embarrassed. He was fine when his sister and brother came over, but suddenly there was such a beautiful girl who called him "Third Brother," and he suddenly felt awkward. "Don't misunderstand, it looks like this from the outside, but it's definitely not like this inside! I've been here many times, I can guarantee it!"
Pu Erge's sinister voice came from his side, "You've been to this kind of place many times? If Grandpa Rang finds out that you brought your little sister and Yueyue to this kind of place, do you think you can still keep your legs?"
Pu Sange suddenly felt a pain in his leg. He smiled awkwardly and tried to explain, "No, this town isn't what you think. Although it's a bit shady on the surface, there's a woman there who sings opera beautifully. Compared to those vulgar women who flaunt their beauty, she's amazing!"
Pu Sange tried to explain himself, "I just happened to pass by the entrance and saw that woman singing opera, so I went in. I absolutely did not intend to go in and do anything else!"
Brother Pu raised his hand and swore an oath for himself.
Pu Erge naturally knew what kind of person his younger brother was. He had only said those words to scare him a little, and once the effect was achieved, there was no need to continue. "Alright, this place is not suitable, not even for just watching the show. Next!"
So our first stop for today's trip was eliminated.
If the first place wasn't intentional, when they got to the second location, Brother Pu really wanted to crack open his younger brother's head to see what was inside. "Pu Tianyi!"
Pu Tianyi shuddered. Every time his second brother called him by his full name, it was never a good thing. He stammered and replied, "What's wrong, second brother?"
"Look for yourself where you are!" Brother Pu was furious.
Feeling guilty, Pu Tianyi whispered, "This is... a gambling den, look, it says so on..."
