Chapter 114 Speak, Speak
She took the reddish-brown wooden box.
Bai Jinsong still lowered his head, looking very nervous. After a long while, he slowly straightened up, pinching his robe with his fingertips. He took a deep breath and suddenly looked up: "Ah...why is it you?"
He was shocked to see Bai Xiaoxiao.
“It’s always been me.”
Bai Xiaoxiao opened the reddish-red wooden box, revealing a light white, translucent jade flute. The jade flute had an excellent color, and its smoothness and delicate texture seemed to reflect a person's shadow. It was very beautiful, but she didn't understand: "Why did you give me a flute?"
"Don't move."
Bai Jinsong saw that she had finished observing and quickly snatched it back and put it back into the jujube wood box. Bai Xiaoxiao noticed that her adopted brother's attire was also different from usual, seeming more solemn and handsome. She seemed to smell gossip: "What's going on?"
"cough!"
Bai Jinsong coughed loudly, and his ears seemed to flush.
"Tell me."
Bai Xiaoxiao became interested, so she went up to Bai Jinsong, poked his elbow, and made faces to hint at him.
"That's what you know."
Bai Jinsong couldn't hide it and had to tell the truth, but his direct statement made Bai Xiaoxiao more confused than simply refusing.
But is Bai Xiaoxiao the kind of person who doesn't gossip when encountering difficulties?
Obviously not.
She blinked and pretended to understand, "Oh—so that's what you were talking about."
Bai Jinsong lowered his eyes and held the jujube wood box tighter.
Bai Xiaoxiao continued to chatter: "So...how is the progress of that matter now?"
Bai Jinsong shook his head somewhat disappointedly: "I don't know, she doesn't have any attitude."
Bai Xiaoxiao guessed most of it in her mind, and then continued to gossip: "Have you tried hard? You just assume that they have no attitude."
“Of course I tried hard!”
Bai Jinsong looked at Bai Xiaoxiao seriously and sincerely, and almost raised his hand to the sky to swear that he had really tried hard.
"What's the point of telling me? The main thing is performance."
Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly took out a handful of melon seeds. Seeing that the cheap brother looked naive, she kindly gave him a handful. Then the two of them squatted around the reddish-brown wooden box and started cracking the melon seeds with a "crunch" sound.
“But I did perform well.”
Bai Jinsong said while eating melon seeds, "Every time before I give her a gift, I carefully study how to say it, how to say it, and how to say it so that she can understand my feelings."
Bai Xiaoxiao hesitantly threw away the melon seed shells. "So, after all this time of research, you only came up with 'Please accept it'?"
"cough!"
Bai Jinsong was choked.
Bai Xiaoxiao patted his back with disgust.
"So, what should I say?"
"You have to praise her, compliment her, and combine your own feelings with what is presented and then pass it on to her."
Bai Jinsong nodded, seemingly understanding: "Did you do the same when you were with Tianwen?"
Bai Xiaoxiao picked up a thick branch on the ground and said, "Don't force me to reward your cute little mouth when I'm in such a good mood."
Bai Jinsong shuddered inexplicably.
The sound of clothes rubbing against the petals could be heard.
A girl dressed in elegant and pretty clothes slowly walked towards this side.
“Here I come!”
Bai Jinsong flicked away the melon seeds he was holding, stood up, straightened his robe, and asked Bai Xiaoxiao, "Look at my clothes. Are there any wrinkles?"
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No."
Bai Jinsong took two steps forward and then suddenly retracted: "How about your hair? Is it messy? Do you need to take care of it?"
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No need."
Bai Jinsong took three steps forward and then suddenly retracted: "Do you think this gift is good? Will she like it? Isn't just a jade flute too stingy? Should I prepare two or three more and give them to her at once?"
Bai Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly: "You are not scared, are you?"
"Nonsense, how could I be afraid of your brother!"
Bai Jinsong strode to the back of the rockery. Bai Xiaoxiao leaned against a big tree and looked at his tall and unyielding back. In less than two moments, he silently retreated.
"I think your suggestion, Xiaoxiao, is worth considering..."
"Get out of here!"
Bai Xiaoxiao kicked him on the butt without hesitation.
If you keep wasting time, the person will leave.
Bai Jinsong's flying noise was so loud that it frightened the pretty girl and the maid who was supporting her.
Bai Xiaoxiao cast an invisibility spell and jumped onto the rockery to watch the fun. She stared at the pretty girl's face and thought for a while, then remembered that her name was Lin Lu, a very distant cousin of Que Tianwen's family.
She seems to be a very timid and shy girl.
She held her chin in her hand as she thought, and became even more interested in the meeting.
Bai Jinsong felt pain in his buttocks. He raised his hand but then put it down again. He raised his head and saw Lin Lu, who was covering her mouth with her hands and looked surprised. He quickly stood up and patted the dust on his wide robe. He held the reddish wooden box and looked at her, then turned his head away shyly.
Lin Lu felt a little embarrassed when she looked at Bai Jinsong. She silently lowered her head, pursed her thin lips, her eyes sparkling, and her face flushed with shame.
Bai Xiaoxiao sat on the rockery and watched them.
A cup of tea passed...
Two cups of tea passed...
A stick of incense has passed...
Half an hour passed...
They both kept their heads down, their faces blushing.
no,
Speak up...you two should speak up!
Even if you don’t talk, you should at least have some interaction, okay?
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't know how she managed to survive half an hour. She pointed her finger at a stone on the ground, raised it slightly, and hit Bai Jinsong's back of the head accurately.
Bai Jinsong was completely fooled.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Lin Lu saw that Bai Jinsong's head was tilted as if he had been hit by something, and said worriedly.
"fine."
Bai Jinsong rubbed the back of his head and looked around but didn't see anyone. He just suspected that he was too excited to see Lin Lu and felt dizzy and had hallucinations.
But this also reminded him of his purpose, and he held out the reddish-red wooden box: "This... is mine... and then... you understand, right?"
Linlu: “Ah?”
It's so embarrassing.
Bai Xiaoxiao slapped his forehead, really unable to understand how he had the courage to pursue his wife. Oh... maybe he had spent his entire life's courage just to pursue her.
Bai Jinsong also felt that his words did not express his meaning: "No, what I mean is..."
——"The jade flute in this red box suits you very well."
A familiar voice entered Bai Jinsong's mind, and he was startled: "Xiaoxiao?"
Lin Lu was also surprised after hearing this: "Is it the little prince who has returned?"
She turned her head and looked, but didn't see Bai Xiaoxiao.
"Shut up."
Bai Xiaoxiao continued to transmit: "Now you are the only one who can hear me, don't make a fuss, from now on, you just follow what I say."
Bai Jinsong nodded.
Bai Xiaoxiao continued, "Inside the red jujube wood box is a jade flute, flawless white, pure as snow. From the first moment I saw it, I felt it suited you perfectly."
