Chapter 15 Chapter 15

"Miss, are you okay?" Hua Yun, who was standing by, was a little worried. She said, "If the young marquis doesn't want to come, then we can go out and play by ourselves. It must be very lively outside today."

Jiang Jingchun exhaled heavily, rubbed her eyes, and then said, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. It's not like I can't go by myself."

Besides, it’s not like Jiang Jingchun has no one to play with. She has plenty of friends and doesn’t need him to accompany her.

After all, it is the nature of young people. When encountering too many unpleasant things, they will always be a little angry.

Jiang Jingchun said: "Let's go to Chen's house to find someone."

Seeing Jiang Jingchun cheer up again, Hua Yun nodded quickly and said, "Okay! Let's go find Miss Chen."

However, things did not go as planned. After she arrived there, she found that Chen Muqing was not at home. Today she went to her grandfather's house.

There was no choice, Jiang Jingchun turned around and went to the Song Mansion to look for Song Xuanan.

The servant went in to pass on the message, and Jiang Jingchun was waiting at the door.

After a while, a young man in a fluttering purple robe came out of the gate. He walked leisurely and his tied hair fluttered in the evening breeze.

At first Song Xuan'an didn't see where Jiang Jingchun was, but then he walked behind the pillar at the door with ease, and sure enough he saw her squatting in that corner.

Whenever she came to look for him, she always liked to squat there.

Jiang Jingchun lowered her head, resting it on her arms, and he couldn't see her expression clearly.

Thinking about what happened at Jiang's house last time, Song Xuan'an didn't know what happened to her afterwards... But since she was able to go out, she should be fine.

He walked up to her.

A shadow covered the scene in front of him. Jiang Jingchun looked up and saw Song Xuan'an coming out from inside.

Song Xuan'an crossed his arms over his chest, looked at her and said with a smile: "You can't find anyone to play with, so you come to me."

Jiang Jingchun was hit on the heart and stood up to retort, "What? I came to see you out of kindness, and you still said such things. If you don't want to go out, forget it."

Having said that, she turned around and pretended to leave.

Seeing that he was really going to annoy her, Song Xuan'an stopped joking and immediately followed her.

"I'm just kidding you. Are you really angry today? You're so mad."

Jiang Jingchun walked on with his head down, ignoring him.

Song Xuan'an didn't mention this to her again. He asked her, "Hey, does your hand still hurt?"

She was talking about the last time she was beaten.

Jiang Jingchun turned his head away, still ignoring him.

Who told him to bring up such things? He insisted that no one was with her. When she talked about this, she thought of Gu Huaisheng, and when she thought of him, she couldn't help getting angry.

Seeing that she ignored him, Song Xuan'an didn't get angry. He just grabbed her hand and looked at it.

He remembered that she was punished on her left hand last time?

Sure enough, the hand was still wrapped in gauze. Jiang Jingchun was about to scold him, but Song Xuan'an grabbed her hand and poked her gauze-wrapped palm twice with his fingers.

Seeing that Jiang Jingchun had no other reaction except being angry, Song Xuan'an knew that the injury might be almost healed.

He covered her mouth, and suppressed her curses. "Okay, why are you still so angry? I came out to accompany you. If you scold me and run away, there will be no one to accompany you."

He let go, and Jiang Jingchun didn't scold him anymore, but her eyes were still staring at him.

Song Xuan'an found her chubby look even more amusing, and the smile in his eyes became even bigger.

The two of them came out of the Song residence and headed toward the street. This stretch of path was temporarily quiet, with few people passing by except for a few pedestrians occasionally.

They didn't talk, and the place became much quieter, with only occasional noisy sounds coming from the street.

The moonlight shone on both of them as they walked side by side.

Song Xuan'an was bored. He looked at his palm. It was still itchy from touching Jiang Jingchun's mouth. He lifted his palm and found some residual lip balm on it. Under the moonlight, it was unusually red. He suddenly turned his head and looked at her and said, "Why are you dressed so beautifully today?"

Only then did he look at her seriously.

Jiang Jingchun put on powder on her face today, and her skin looked even whiter than usual. Her eyes were bright as stars under her curved slender eyebrows, her lips were bright, her nose was beautiful, and her lip balm looked much more gorgeous than usual. Even her clothes looked slimmer.

She never dressed like this when she was with them.

Song Xuan'an's tone suddenly turned cold. "You didn't want to go to your cousin and then he ignored you. And you went to find Chen Muqing first, she had something to do, so you came to me."

So he was ranked last by her.

Jiang Jingchun's eyelids twitched.

How come he guessed everything?

Not only did he guess that she was rejected by Gu Huaisheng, he even knew that she went to Chen's house first.

I don't see him being this smart on weekdays.

Song Xuan'an didn't wait for Jiang Jingchun's answer, but he already knew the answer from her eyes.

In an instant, his expression became even uglier. He glanced at her, walked away, and turned away.

Jiang Jingchun knew that he was at fault first, so when he saw that he was angry, he hurried over to comfort him.

"Oh, don't be angry, you were the first person I thought of..."

Jiang Jingchun himself was a little bit unconvinced when he said this.

She added: "Look, at least I still think about you..."

It's even more infuriating to say this.

Song Xuanan was so angry that she didn't pass out. He turned around and said fiercely, "Would you shut up?"

Jiang Jingchun shrank his neck and finally shut up.

At first, she tried to coax Song Xuan'an in a nice way, but when she got to the street, she was attracted by the lively street scene. After staying at home for a long time, everything was new to her when she went out. When she walked on the street, she wanted to buy everything she saw. In the end, she didn't care that Song Xuan'an was still angry, and had someone carry a lot of things in big and small bags.

Jiang Jingchun was skipping in front with a rabbit lantern in her hand, and Song Xuanan was following her with a bunch of things in his hand.

Song Xuan'an was angry, but he couldn't do anything about her. He carried all the things on her body with a dark face. Finally, when Jiang Jingchun took a fancy to another little toy, Song Xuan'an couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You're still buying? Are you trying to dangle things over my head?"

After being reminded, Jiang Jingchun realized that Song Xuan'an's hands were full of things. She laughed dryly twice out of embarrassment and put her hands away. Seeing that Song Xuan'an looked unhappy, she knew that he must still be angry. He was angry to begin with, and now that he had a pile of things, he would probably be even angrier.

She suddenly remembered that she had a sachet in her arms that she had not given away. She had originally intended to give it to Gu Huaisheng. Because it was a gift to her beloved, she was extra attentive to it.

But he didn't go out today, how could she give it to him? Besides, she waited for him for a whole day, and finally got the news that he rejected her, how could she not be angry.

Jiang Jingchun took out the sachet that she was going to give to Gu Huaisheng and handed it to Song Xuanan. She said, "Don't be angry, okay? Look, this mugwort sachet is used to ward off evil spirits and protect your life.

The white sachet hung between Jiang Jingchun's fingers, swaying gently in her hand.

Song Xuan'an obviously knew her character. He said, "Don't think I don't know. You wanted to give it to Gu Huaisheng, but you couldn't, so you thought of giving it to me."

I was guessed right again.

The two of them had known each other for a long time, and Song Xuan'an had some understanding of Jiang Jingchun. For example, when he saw that she was dressed differently today, he immediately knew that she originally wanted to look for Gu Huaisheng, not him.

Just from looking at the sachet, he quickly guessed that she must have wanted to give it to Gu Huaisheng first, not to him.

Jiang Jingchun was exposed, but she still insisted, "What? I didn't give it to him. Isn't this the first time I took it out in front of you?"

Song Xuanan asked her, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"If you say something so rude, do something about it. Forget it."

Song Xuan'an refused again. He immediately said, "Who said I don't want it? Since you told me, it's mine."

Jiang Jingchun did not argue with him anymore, she handed him the sachet. But Song Xuanan had no hands to take it. He was alone today, and there was no one to help him get something, so he was in a dilemma for a moment.

Song Xuanan said: "Why don't you just hang it up for me?"

She hooked him up? Now? Outside?

Jiang Jingchun looked at the surroundings. It was so lively outside with so many people around. They were both handsome and many people were paying attention to them. If the sachet was tied, what if some rumors got out? That would be disastrous.

Jiang Jingchun refused, "No, there are so many people."

Song Xuan'an glanced around, raised his head to the alley beside him, and said, "No one can see me there. Go there and help me tie it up."

Jiang Jingchun looked towards the alley and felt that something was not right. She hesitated and said, "It's not good."

Song Xuanan asked her, "What's wrong with it? I just asked you to tie a sachet for me. What's wrong with it? Tell me."

Jiang Jingchun hesitated for a long time, but couldn't come up with a clear answer. In the end, he still said the same old saying, "Men and women should not touch each other."

"Don't try to fool me with that. I'm not doing anything to you." He said, "In other words, you didn't want to give me this sachet, but wanted to give it to someone else..."

Seeing that he was talking about this again, Jiang Jingchun blocked his mouth and walked to the other end of the alley, "Don't try to provoke me. Come here quickly."

They walked towards that direction, but they didn't notice that a pair of eyes were falling on them from the other side of the river not far away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Jingchun quickly helped Song Xuan'an tie the sachet tightly. She bent down and lowered her head, and tied the sachet in the moonlight. She leaned so close to him that Song Xuan'an could smell the hair cream on her hair, which exuded the scent of jasmine.

She seemed to like using this hair cream very much. He could often smell its scent on her body.

In the past, Jiang Jingchun didn't mind contacting him, nor did she think it was offensive to tie a sachet on him, but recently, she seemed to have changed a lot.

When did it start to change?

It seemed that they had grown up, or that she had fallen in love with Gu Huaisheng, or perhaps she had learned the rules from the nanny, and she began to truly feel that physical contact between men and women was not appropriate.

But it was clearly not the case between them before.

Before he could think further, Jiang Jingchun had already tied the knot. She let out a breath and said, "Okay, let's go."

Song Xuan'an glanced down at the sachet on his waist, not knowing what he was thinking about. It was not until Jiang Jingchun turned around and called him from the front that he came to his senses and followed.

The two of them walked outside, and just as they walked out of the alley, they ran into someone they shouldn't have seen.

Gu Huaisheng's attire today was somewhat different from usual. He wore a round-necked black brocade robe embroidered with golden auspicious clouds to make it less monotonous. On his vermilion belt hung the jade pendant he usually wore, and his whole body exuded a refined and elegant air.

He had a straight nose and an imposing bearing, but at this moment his lips were tightly pursed, revealing a bit of sharpness.

I didn't expect to see Gu Huaisheng here. There was a girl standing next to him. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be from some family, but Jiang Jingchun could hardly recognize her.

The young lady was wearing a light blue dress and had a faint smile on her face, looking gentle and polite.

It was no wonder that Jiang Jingchun didn't know her well. They had different personalities, so they naturally couldn't get along well with each other on weekdays.

But Jiang Jingchun knew the person standing next to her better than anyone else.

Who else could it be except Gu Huaisheng?

He said he had something to do and couldn't go out with her, but he had time to spend with others.
