Wearing a black robe and with a handsome face, who else could it be if he wasn't Lou Gu Xiu sitting in the main seat?

Qi Yan stretched out his hand blankly and pointed at him, "How did you get in?"

"I came in when you opened the door." Lou Gu Xiu propped his chin on his hand and looked at him with interest, "In the middle of the night, aren't you afraid it's a thief?"

"Thieves don't make loud noises!" After saying that, Qi Yan rushed to Ao Lun and hugged his furry head.

Lou Gu Xiu looked at him with disdain, and seeing that Ao Lun was not dissatisfied, but hummed twice in comfort, Lou Gu Xiu despised him even more.

After quarreling with Ao Lun, Qi Yan remembered that there was someone sitting in the main seat. He raised his head and looked at Lou Guxiu with shining eyes, "Did you receive the letter I sent you? Then why didn't you write me a reply?"

"I was hungry when the carrier pigeon came, so I roasted it and ate it."

"..." Qi Yan blinked and decided to change the subject, "Did your leader allow you to take Ao Lun out?"

Lou Guxiu looked at him coldly, "I am the servant who raised Ao Lun. The leader won't say anything if I take Ao Lun out for a walk."

Qi Yan raised his thumb, "Your leader is a good man!"

Lou Guxiu turned his face away: "..." It's useless to flatter me like this.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the Apricot Blossom Festival." Qi Yan touched Ao Lun's head, "I don't want to go on a cruise, but even if I don't go, my mother will force me to go. I really hate this woman Zhan Roudai. She is cunning and not sincere to anyone...but why can't my mother see her true heart?"

Hearing Qi Yan's complaint, Lou Guxiu chuckled with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Why, you, a fool, can still read people's hearts?"

"What do you mean by a fool?" Qi Yan retorted unhappily, "I am upright, but I am not stupid. I know everything about this woman's purpose in approaching me!"

This time, Lou Guxiu did not hit him. Instead, he rarely praised him, "You are smart."

"So come and accompany me tomorrow." Qi Yan suddenly changed the subject.

Lou Guxiu was about to refuse without a second thought, but when he looked over, his sight was blocked by Qi Yan's eyes flashing with white light.

Those eyes full of hope and desire...really like a puppy!

Lou Guxiu's mouth twitched a few times, and his eyes flashed, "What should I do with you?"

"I won't be bored with you around!"

"Apricot Blossom Festival is never boring." The snacks and new toys on the street will make you dazzled.

"But I will feel lost when you are not around...and what if I am kidnapped by that bad woman Zhan Roudai? Kidnap me and force me to submit, then I will have to marry her in a few days!"

Lou Guxiu really wanted to knock open his head to see if it was all goo!

"Zhan Roudai wouldn't do such a thing." Raising his hands and pinching his brows, Lou Guxiu denied his words one by one, "I won't force you to submit. You are not worth enough for her to do such a thing."

"But I would be disappointed if you didn't come. We are friends, aren't we?"

"..."

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Qi Yan innocently looked at Lou Guxiu's face, which was getting colder and colder. He wanted to reach out and grab his sleeve, but was thrown away as soon as he touched it.

Lou Guxiu stood up and walked away without leaving a word.

Ao Lun glanced at Qi Yan, followed behind Lou Guxiu, and slowly disappeared from Qi Yan's sight.

Feeling a little aggrieved, Qi Yan looked at the direction where the man and the beast left for a long time, and finally sighed, walked over, closed the door, locked it, climbed back onto the couch, and stared at the bed board carved with wooden flowers.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

The next day, Qi Yan, with a haggard face due to lack of sleep, got on the carriage to Wangyue Lake with Madam Qi's meaningful smile.

These young men and women agreed to meet in the central pavilion of Wangyue Lake, which saved Qi Yan a lot of trouble.

When they arrived at the pavilion, it was still early, and only the twin brothers and sisters who had married were playing in the pavilion.

Seeing Qi Yan coming, the two greeted each other and chatted casually.

"Brother Qi, where have you been these days?" Cheng Ke said with a hint of teasing, "Your old man Qi came to see my father and thought I took you to sleep in some gentle place."

Qi Yan laughed twice and said perfunctorily, "I went to the mountains to practice Qigong."

Cheng Ke is a well-known playboy. He is very familiar with all the brothels in this city. He wanted to take Qi Yan there several times, but was rejected by Qi Yan.

Cheng Zhu saw that Qi Yan looked unhappy and laughed, "Brother Qi Yan, do you have a girl in mind?"

After the words fell, Qi Yan's face turned red and he hesitated, "What nonsense are you talking about! Xiaozhu, a girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Seeing his nervous look, Cheng Zhu and Cheng Ke smiled at each other, and the bad-minded brother and sister surrounded him with a smile.

"Our dull brother Qi has a girl in his heart~."

"Yes, yes, brother Qi Yan, tell me which girl in the next life, and I will help you find out~."

Qi Yan, who was surrounded in the middle, sat straight, looking straight ahead, "No girl."

"Obviously there is one, brother Qi Yan, you are still hiding it from Xiao Zhu." Cheng Zhu started to act coquettishly.

On the other side, Cheng Ke also started to act coquettishly, "Brother Qi, are you forcing me to call you 'Qi~ Yan~ brother~ brother~'?"

Qi Yan's little body trembled, and he looked over with tears in his eyes, "Cheng Ke, you're almost done!"

Cheng Ke and Cheng Zhu are two years younger than Qi Yan. Cheng Zhu is a cute girl, so it's fine to call her brother; but Cheng Ke, a playboy with a richer nightlife than Qi Yan, calls Qi Yan 'brother'? Oh no, it's simply terrible.

Just when Qi Yan was attacked from both sides and couldn't escape unscathed, a young man from a family arrived.

His face was as cold as ice, and it felt like ice chips were falling off when he walked. He was like a walking iceberg - the young master of the Rong family, Rong Ansheng.

"Brother Rong is here." Cheng Zhu sat up quickly.

Cheng Ke also coughed lightly, and swung out his fan to fan gently.

Casting a grateful look at Rong Ansheng, Qi Yan received a faint nod in response.

After sitting down, Rong Ansheng also asked Qi Yan, "What have you been doing for the past three days?"

"I went up the mountain to practice."

"Why didn't you tell my family?" Rong Ansheng frowned disapprovingly, "Uncle Qi has been looking for you so hard."

"Well, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell my family."

"Brother Rong, can't you see that Brother Qi Yan has a girl he likes." Cheng Zhu's rambling voice rang out.

Receiving Rong Ansheng's inquiring gaze, Qi Yan said that he couldn't stand the icy gaze and said tremblingly, "No, it's not a girl."

"Pfft, if it's not a girl, then it's a young man?" Cheng Ke didn't believe it.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the other three looked straight at him, and Cheng Ke's smile trembled a little.

"What are you looking at me for... I, I'm talking about Qi Yan!" Cheng Ke just finished his rebuttal, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and quickly looked up at Qi Yan, his eyes full of shock, "You, you are not serious?"

"Huh?"

"Just tell me, is the person you've been with these days a girl or a boy?"

"It's a boy..."

After the words fell, Cheng Ke, Cheng Zhu, and the cold-faced Rong Ansheng all showed an expression of world destruction.
