Changle's silence made Qu Wenzhao mistakenly think that she was resisting. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head, trying to hide the embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, I was abrupt... Uh-huh..."
His cheek was suddenly lifted up, and the sudden soft touch on his lips made his pupils constrict.
The kiss was not deep. After Changle kissed her, her cheeks turned red. Without saying a word, she turned around and ran out.
Qu Wenzhao seemed to be under a spell and was stunned for a long time.
"Master?"
Qiao Zi knocked on the door for a long time but heard no response, so he had to push the door open and come in.
Qu Wenzhao came back to his senses and coughed awkwardly: "Already done?"
"The young lady is waiting in the dining room!" Qiao Zi looked at him, "Master, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
"No, it's just a little hot!"
Qiao Zi's brows were furrowed, and he was filled with doubts.
It’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival, why is it still hot?
"Help me to the dining room."
Qiao Zi nodded and helped him into the dining room.
Bai Fengyao had been waiting for a while, and there was impatience on her face.
Hearing the voice, she looked up, "Wen Zhao is here!"
"Where is Changle?" Qu Wenzhao asked.
"I don't know. He hasn't come over yet. Let Qiaozi go over and take a look."
Qu Wenzhao could almost guess why Changle had not come to the dining room yet.
Thinking of the kiss just now, the corners of his mouth rose up uncontrollably, and his eyes became particularly gentle.
Bai Fengyao had something else to do later, and the food was not very tasty, so she left in a hurry.
Qu Wenzhao was the only one left in the huge dining room, and he couldn't help but recall Changle's domineering yet shy kiss just now.
"Qiaozi! Pack these things up and send them to Changle's room." He pointed at a few untouched dishes and gave the order.
"Did the young master have any conflict with the Princess of Changle County?"
When he went to call Changle just now, Changle's tone was particularly impatient, and he felt uneasy.
He has grown up with Qu Wenzhao since childhood, and the master and servant have experienced a lot. He sincerely hopes that Qu Wenzhao can find his own happiness.
“Master, the eldest lady once said that men should not be too proud, and it is not shameful to bow down to the woman they like!”
The corners of Qu Wenzhao's eyes turned up, and the tenderness in his eyes disappeared instantly.
Qiao Zi didn't notice and continued talking non-stop.
"Master, where are you going?"
"If you keep talking, the food will get completely cold!" Qu Wenzhao said with disgust.
Qiao Zi giggled, and swiftly put the dishes into the lunch box. Carrying the lunch box, he went to Changle's room with Qu Wenzhao.
Changle thought of her bold and forceful kiss just now, and she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself.
When I heard the knock on the door, my whole body tensed up.
"Qiaozi?"
Bai Fengyao must hate her to death and would absolutely not care whether she eats or not.
Qu Wenzhao must also be distressed by her behavior that was completely out of her control, so he probably wouldn't come over.
So, it can only be Qiao Zi.
"I'm not hungry yet. When I get hungry, I can do it myself..."
"My eldest sister once said, 'Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will be hungry!'"
Before he could finish his words, a clear voice reached his ears, disturbing Changle's heart which had been beating wildly just now.
She rubbed her hot face, not knowing whether she should respond to Qu Wenzhao.
Qu Wenzhao was not in a hurry. He said to Qiao Zi, "Leave the lunch box here and go down first."
Qiao Zi was worried about his legs and hesitated to move.
"You don't even listen to me?"
"Yes!" Qiao Zi left quickly.
Qu Wenzhao knocked on the door again, "Just now..."
Changle’s head was about to explode.
"I might have been cursed by something! You know, she's been in jail for so long, and she's such a gloomy person. Who knows if she might have gotten into something dirty!"
Qu Wenzhao's good mood was instantly dampened.
"So, just now you were not..."
Changle was about to crawl into a hole in the ground due to embarrassment, and was somewhat exasperated: "You must forget what happened just now, otherwise, I will ignore you from now on!"
Qu Wenzhao lowered the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with hurt.
He felt that the sun was shining brightly above his head before, but now it is covered with dark clouds.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his throat felt like it was filled with sand, and he couldn't make a sound.
Changle pricked up his ears and thought to himself: Did he leave or not?
I tiptoed to the door, wanting to take a peek, and heard Qu Wenzhao say in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
He put down the lunch box, turned around, and walked away slowly, step by step, with the help of his crutches.
Changle felt uncomfortable and opened the door, wanting to explain to him, but Qu Wenzhao had already left.
At dinner time, Qu Wenzhao did not go to the dining room, and Bai Fengyao didn't know where she went. Changle was no longer pretentious, and she mustered up the courage to explain everything to him.
"Where are the people?" she asked Qiao Zi.
"The young master said he wanted to read a book. He will eat when he is hungry."
Qiao Zi actually wanted to ask them if they had any unpleasantness.
At noon, it was Princess Changle who avoided eating, and now it’s the young master’s turn!
Can't we all just live in harmony?
Changle felt very sorry. She pouted and hurried to Qu Wenzhao's room.
Without knocking, he pushed the door open and walked in.
Qu Wenzhao was holding a book in his hand, but he didn't read a single word.
He looked up when he heard the sound of someone pushing the door open.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere became awkward.
Changle glared at him angrily: "Qu Wenzhao, what do you mean?"
Qu Wenzhao clenched the pages of the book and tried to make his voice calmer.
"Didn't you say to just pretend it never happened?"
"So, do you look down on me in your heart?"
Qu Wenzhao:? ?
"If you don't say anything, it means you admit it?" Changle's eyes were red.
At this moment, she felt wronged, uncomfortable, and depressed...all kinds of emotions came up at once, like a tangled mess, getting bigger and bigger, blocking her heart and making her almost suffocate.
"Admit what?" Qu Wenzhao raised his eyes. "I just want to read books! The academy is almost completed, and I can't let my elder sister down! I can't leave everything to my elder sister!"
Although he was not sure what his elder sister was doing in hiding, he knew that what she was going to do must be very important.
He couldn't always be a weakling protected by his elder sister.
I promised to be my eldest sister's support and protect her, and I must not go back on my word.
The fire in Changle's heart was like being poured with fuel. She ran forward angrily and kicked him hard, "Qu Wenzhao, you are really too mean!"
After yelling, she turned and ran away.
Qu Wenzhao stared at her receding figure in confusion, completely unaware of how he had offended her.
