Chapter 303 (Extra) Dream
Usually at times like this, you just need to touch Xie Tingzhou's fur and you will be able to feel it in a moment.
Chen Yu stretched her head and pecked the corner of his lips gently, "Then don't let the children go to Yi'an."
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "If they don't go to Yi'an, where should we let them go?"
"Come with us to Linyan Island." Chen Yu said as a matter of course.
Xie Tingzhou was silent.
I finally found some time to get away from these kids and spend some time alone with them, but I was really controlled by an eight-year-old kid?
That's impossible.
Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw several children gathered together and whispering, obviously planning some conspiracy.
If he couldn't even defeat a few kids, he wouldn't be Xie Tingzhou.
"Xi Feng."
Xifeng stepped forward, "Master."
Xie Tingzhou leaned against the window sill and said quietly, "Go get a carriage and take the young master and young lady with you."
Xie Yu stamped her feet with joy and whispered to Xie Jin, "Brother is the one who has the solution."
I just missed the slight smile that Xie Tingzhou showed before he lowered the curtain.
The carriage headed north along the official road.
Xie Yu lifted the curtain in front of him and took a look. Seeing his father and mother's carriage right in front of him, he retracted his head again.
"I am bored."
Xie Jin looked at him, "It was you who said you wanted to go to Linyan Island with your father and mother."
"Then I didn't know the journey was so boring." Xie Yu propped up his chin, "We've been walking for three days, and Dad and Mom didn't get out of the car. What's fun in the car?"
Xie Jin's young eyebrows slightly raised, his mind quickly turned around, and suddenly opened the curtain, "Stop the car."
The driver held the reins and said, "Master, we haven't reached the destination yet. The master said we can't stop until we reach the destination."
Xie Jin pretended to jump down, and the driver quickly reined in his horse, "Oh my, if the young master gets hurt, I'll have to whip him later."
Xie Jin quickly jumped off the carriage, ran to the front and opened the curtain of the carriage, stood there immediately, then turned around and looked at Xie Yu.
"What's wrong, brother?" Xie Yu was confused.
Xie Jin pointed, "Come and see for yourself."
There was no one in the carriage, it was clearly an empty carriage.
"I've been fooled by my father again." Xie Yu stamped his feet. "My father is such a liar. Humph, if you don't want me to follow you, then I won't let you follow me. Let's go find Uncle Jiang."
Xie Yu pointed ahead and said, "Let's go to Yi'an."
Li Xuan grabbed Xie Yu's hand and said, "Something seems wrong."
The road was clearly heading north, while Yi'an was in the south, so the three kids were fooled into walking in the opposite direction for three days.
The cruise ship goes downstream, and the river breeze blows on your face.
"Is this okay?" Chen Yu asked worriedly.
Xie Tingzhou put his hands on the railing and locked Shen Yu in his arms, "Don't worry, the guards are here."
Chen Yu turned around and said, "Xiao Yuer must hate you to death."
"She's as easy to coax as you." Xie Tingzhou smiled like a fox, "Bring her something later, and she'll forget everything and still call daddy more frequently than anyone else."
The wind on the river is very cool at night. If we go downstream, we will reach Jingyi'an in fifteen or sixteen days. After another ten days or so, we will reach Linyan Island.
Two years ago, Li Jifeng suddenly became disillusioned with the world and said he wanted to become a monk. After much searching, he chose Linyan Island.
But this is not the first time he has called for becoming a monk.
Seven years ago, when he first thought about becoming a monk, he gave up because shaving his head would affect his graceful demeanor.
Five years ago, I gave up because I couldn't eat meat and had to carry water.
I went to Linyan Island two years ago, and this time I stayed there for a long time, for two years.
Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu went to Linyan Island to see what kind of celestial life Li Jifeng was living.
The boat sailed day and night, and even lying on the couch, one could faintly hear the sound of water breaking through the water.
Xie Tingzhou hadn't fallen asleep yet, but Chen Yu had already fallen asleep in his arms.
He brushed the hair off her face and thought of his aggressive daughter.
When Chen Yu was pregnant, Xie Tingzhou wanted a little girl who looked like Chen Yu. He wanted to see what Chen Yu looked like when she was a child, but Chen Yu wanted a boy who looked like him.
The result was that no one got what they wanted. Xie Jin was more like Chen Yu, while Xie Yu was more like Xie Tingzhou.
The only thing they have in common is their personalities. Xie Jin inherited Xie Tingzhou's scheming and cunning nature, while Xie Yu inherited Chen Yu's wildness. She has loved wearing men's clothing since she was a child and said she wanted to learn from her mother to travel the world.
Li Xuan was just like his father Li Zhaonian. He was humble and polite in dealing with people at a young age.
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes, and the sound of the wind around him seemed to be louder.
My tightly closed eyelids could not block out the light, which was so bright
Dazzling.
Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of the gate of Yanliang Pass.
There is no snow in this season, and the grassland outside the pass is green. I don’t know what time it is now.
The city behind him was very noisy, so Xie Tingzhou turned around and walked towards Ganzhou City.
Just as he was about to enter the city gate, his steps slowed down. He turned to look at the little man standing at the side of the city gate, and then stopped completely.
It was a little girl of about five or six years old, with a pair of spiral buns on her head. It seemed that the hairstylist's skill was not very good, and the buns were crooked and loose.
This was not what attracted Xie Tingzhou's attention. What attracted him was the knife on the girl's back.
The knife was almost as tall as she was.
Xie Tingzhou walked forward, and when the little girl looked up at him, his heart trembled and he called out softly.
"Ayu."
Chen Yu looked up at him with clear eyes, puzzled. He was too tall, and her neck felt sore from tilting her head back. The sunlight prevented her from seeing the man's face clearly. She only felt that he was almost reaching the sky, taller than her father and brother.
"How do you know my name?" she asked.
Xie Tingzhou didn't answer her. He smiled and squatted down in front of her. "What are you doing here?"
Chen Yu looked him up and down. He was very handsome and had a nice voice. He didn't look like a bad guy.
So he said in a baby voice: "I'm waiting for my daddy and my brother."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were gentle, "Where are your father and brother?"
Shen Yu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to answer subconsciously, but then quickly shook her head, "I can't say."
"You can't say it's okay." Xie Tingzhou looked at her intently, "Can I wait here with you?"
Chen Yu's eyes moved, as if she was thinking, and after a while she shook her head.
"No, Daddy said not to talk to people you don't know."
Xie Tingzhou laughed, "But we have already talked a lot, what should we do?"
Shen Yu blinked, silently moved a few steps to the side to avoid him, still staring outside the pass.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her profile.
At this time, Chen Yu was still chubby with chubby cheeks, but her eyes remained the same as when she grew up, clean and clear.
Xie Tingzhou took a step towards her, and the little girl immediately moved two steps to the side. He took another step and she moved again, and finally they both walked to the foot of the city wall.
"Don't come over here again!" Chen Yu shouted.
His little face was puffed up, he looked unhappy, and his eyes were alert.
Xie Tingzhou leaned over and looked at her and said, "I'm not a bad person, nor am I someone I don't know."
"Who are you?"
"I am your future husband." Xie Tingzhou said gently.
As soon as the words fell, the little girl got angry, "You are a pervert."
She tried to pull the knife out of her back with her backhand, but her arm was not long enough. She grasped the handle and pulled it up a little, but the knife stopped moving. No matter how hard she pulled, she couldn't get it out. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
Xie Tingzhou asked tentatively: "Can I help you?"
After that, he helped her pull out the knife and put it back into her hand.
Perhaps Shen Zhongan was afraid that he would get hurt, so the knife looked like a proper scabbard, but when it was pulled out it turned out to be a wooden knife.
Chen Yu pointed the knife at Xie Tingzhou. The handsome man in front of her was not afraid at all, and his eyes were still gentle when he looked at her.
Xie Tingzhou said: "Look, I'm not a bad guy. How could a bad guy help you draw your sword? Right?"
Chen Yu thought about it and realized that this was true. She wanted to learn from her brother to put the knife back into the sheath neatly, but her arms were not long enough.
Xie Tingzhou put the knife back for her and asked her gently, "Are you hungry?"
Chen Yu shook her head, still wary of him and not very willing to talk to him.
But he had already been squeezed into the corner and had nowhere to retreat, so he squatted on the ground.
The knife was very long. When she squatted down, it poked the ground. The little girl fell forward, steadied herself on the ground, brushed the dust off her hands, and moved the rope that tied the knife upwards.
Seeing that Xie Tingzhou was still looking at her, the little girl squatted on the spot and turned around to face the corner. The scabbard dragged on the ground, forming a semicircle, leaving only her back. She squatted there like a small potato, short and round.
Xie Tingzhou's heart melted into a pool of water that couldn't even be scooped up.
Chen Yu was facing the city wall. When she heard the footsteps leaving, she couldn't help but look back and found that the person was walking towards the city gate.
Not long after, the man came back and spread out the oil paper package in front of him, which contained four pineapple cakes.
"Look, it's noon now, you must be hungry, right?"
Chen Yu shook her head, but her eyes were fixed on the thing in his hand.
Xie Tingzhou picked up a piece and took a bite, "Mm, delicious, don't you want to eat it?"
The little girl in front of him swallowed and said, "Daddy said that eating sweet things will cause toothache."
"It will hurt if you eat too much." Xie Tingzhou coaxed, "It won't hurt if you eat a few pieces."
The chubby little hand slowly stretched out, and just as it was about to take it, it was grabbed by someone.
Chen Yu wanted to shrink back, but Xie Tingzhou took out a handkerchief and wiped her dusty hands bit by bit.
Food is indeed something that can easily bring people closer together. Chen Yu ate pineapple cakes and sat on the hillside with Xie Tingzhou.
She ate very slowly, her cheeks bulging with chewing, and she took a long time to chew before swallowing.
Xie Tingzhou thought to himself that he had to go back and tell Xiao Yuer that her mother was very cute when she was a child, not like her who was a crazy girl.
Xie Tingzhou fiddled with the hair on Shen Yu's head and asked, "Who tied your hair?"
"It's my dad." Chen Yu said while biting a pineapple cake.
Xie Tingzhou untied one side of her loose hair, tied it into a beautiful little bun, and fiddled with it with his fingers.
"Am I okay?"
Shen Yu nodded, "Okay."
"Then when you grow up, I will marry you, okay?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, her face looked a little flustered, "Then...what about Brother Zhuangzhuang?"
"Brother Zhuangzhuang?" Xie Tingzhou asked with a smile: "Who is Brother Zhuangzhuang?"
Chen Yu said seriously: "Brother Zhuangzhuang is the best fighter on our street, the strongest, and the best-looking brother."
At this point, Xie Tingzhou still didn't realize anything.
The little girl added, "We agreed that when he grows up, he will join the army, and then I will marry him."
The man in front of her, whose face had been as warm as spring breeze, suddenly turned gloomy, and the little girl shrank back in fear.
"It's really not possible." The little girl said anxiously, "We have already made an appointment."
Xie Tingzhou suppressed his unhappiness and told himself that it was just a dream.
But it doesn’t work even in dreams.
He asked her, "You like those who are good at fighting, strong, and good-looking, right?"
"Yeah." Shen Yu nodded and added, "I still have to join the army."
Xie Tingzhou asked: "Is he as good-looking as me?"
Chen Yu said honestly: "No."
Xie Tingzhou smiled, "Well, you see, I'm better looking than him, I'm better at fighting than him now, I'm definitely stronger than him, and I'm already in the army, so do you want to consider changing someone else?"
Chen Yu was a little embarrassed, and Xie Tingzhou continued, "Did he go to your house to propose marriage?"
"What is a betrothal proposal?" Chen Yu asked innocently.
Xie Tingzhou explained: "Paying an engagement means confirming that you want to marry him. Without paying an engagement, nothing else counts."
"Is that so?" Chen Yu thought for a moment and said, "No, then I'll go back and ask him if he wants to come to my house to propose marriage."
Xie Tingzhou was furious. It turned out that after talking for so long, he was still making things easier for others.
"Don't ask." Xie Tingzhou made a prompt decision, "I will go to your house to propose marriage tomorrow."
The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and a group of cavalry came running from the grassland outside the pass.
Chen Yu's eyes lit up, she stood up, spread her short legs and ran forward.
"Daddy, brother."
The man on the horse raised the whip and increased his speed. He bent down, picked up Chen Yu from the ground and put her on the horse's back.
The man laughed heartily, "Ayu, why are you running out to pick up Daddy again?"
Xie Tingzhou looked at him from afar, a smile on his face, watching his little girl laughing happily in her father's arms.
The horse is about to pass through the city gate.
Chen Yu immediately turned around and looked at the figure on the hillside, then raised her head and asked, "Dad, a very handsome uncle will come to my house tomorrow to propose marriage, is that okay?"
Shen Zhongan rubbed her head in confusion, "What are you talking about? What uncle?"
Chen Yu pointed to the hillside, "It's over there."
Shen Zhongan turned his head and saw only the undulating green grass on the hillside. "Where is it?"
Chen Yu looked over in confusion, but saw that the figure was still standing there, staring at her, and then opened his lips and said something to her.
All that was in her ears was the sound of the wind; she could not hear what he said. It was only after the horse had passed through the city gate that she remembered.
Even though they were so far apart, those words seemed to have penetrated into her heart. She heard him say:
"Ayu, don't be afraid of anything in the future. I will always be here waiting for you."
Xie Tingzhou looked at the empty city gate.
They parted here, and his A-yu would go through hardships later, but they would eventually meet here.
The sound of the wind turned into the sound of water. Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes and saw the moonlight pouring in from the window. The cruise ship was still sailing.
The little girl who carried a sword as tall as a person and had two chicks tied to her head has grown up and is sleeping quietly in his arms.
