Chapter 531 Extra - In a Great Mood
After finishing their meal, Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and asked Chen Ci, "Brother, should my sister-in-law and I go back with you?"
Her sister-in-law naturally refers to Ye Qingning.
“Of course you can go back together,” Chen Ci said.
"I'm not going back," Ye Qingning quickly stated her position. "I want to stay and watch the game."
Most importantly, she didn't want to disturb the male and female leads' private time; who knows, they might fall in love at that moment.
“Then I’ll stay too.” Chen Shi pursed her lips and tugged at Ye Qingning’s sleeve: “I’ll go with my sister-in-law.”
"Okay." Chen Ci didn't say much, gave Chu Song, who was standing behind Ye Qingning, a look, and then left with Shu Tong.
With Chu and Song on either side, everything is fine.
Walking out along the long corridor, the afternoon sun beats down on the ground with intense heat. Fortunately, the trees here are tall and lush, so it's not too hot. Instead, it feels like walking through a landscape painting.
Back then, every time she traveled to an ancient town in Jiangnan, she had the urge to live among the carved railings, painted beams, pavilions, and towers.
The scenery right now is truly elegant, which is very pleasant.
Of course, if she weren't accompanied by a tall, handsome guy, her attention would be more focused on the scenery.
But the unhurried footsteps of the person beside him, and the glimpses of brocade robes that occasionally caught his eye, were impossible to ignore.
As a result, Shu Tong's feelings were complicated yet contained a little bit of excitement.
Suddenly, I felt that if I could just keep walking along this winding corridor, through all four seasons, with the people around me always there, it seemed... not so bad.
She smiled faintly, then turned her head to look to the side.
But her smile was noticed by Chen Ci, who had been watching her closely. The man couldn't help but smile, put his hands behind his back, and felt much better.
...
As they came out of the gate, the carriage was already waiting. Tang Ming had been standing casually by the carriage, but straightened up when he saw the two of them come out: "Brother, sister-in-law, get in the carriage quickly."
Shu Tong was stunned for a moment.
Has Tang Ming gone mad today?
Call His Highness the Crown Prince "Brother"!
She subconsciously glanced back at Chen Ci, only to see that the man's eyes and brows were still gentle, but he simply raised his hand and patted Tang Ming's shoulder: "How can you be so disrespectful!"
Tang Ming chuckled: "I really put in the effort today. We won the football match, so I should get some special privileges, right?"
Chen Ci helped Shu Tong into the carriage, then turned back and gave him a reproachful look: "Alright, stop joking, let's go back to the manor."
"Alright." Tang Ming watched Chen Ci get into the carriage before mounting his own horse, calling to the driver, and the horse and carriage set off.
Inside the car, Shu Tong looked at Chen Ci, who was still resting with his eyes closed. For the first time, she didn't look away, but instead began to sketch his facial features in her mind.
She was thinking that once she was free and had enough money to find a boyfriend, she would find a handsome guy just like Chen Ci.
The world is so big, there must be men similar to him.
Just as she was intently tracing his heart-shaped lips, the man suddenly opened his eyes, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Stealing my eye again?"
Shu Tong snapped out of her daze: "I...I didn't mean it, I...I was just checking to see if Your Highness was asleep, and I was planning to fan you with a palm leaf fan."
She indeed picked up a fan from her seat and fanned him to cool him down: "Is this cooler now?"
Chen Ci stared at her nervous eyes for a moment, then smiled: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Tell me, what do you want?"
Shu Tong's eyes darted around, and she actually had an idea: "The opening ceremony is over, so how does Your Highness plan to deliver on the promised reward?"
