"Hello?" Zhang Xin felt that this person was really interesting, so she took a few steps forward and waved at her without thinking much.
"Hmm?" Ye Meng turned her head when she heard the greeting, and her eyes met with a pair of bright and pure eyes. The girl was wearing a pink dress. Her skin was fair and healthy. She had a small mouth and an exquisite nose. Her black hair was braided into a small braid with a few silk flowers. She looked pure and cute. Her large eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry, like a fairy who had fallen into the world by mistake.
"Hello," Ye Meng looked around. After confirming that she was greeting her, she quickly stood up and extended her right hand out of habit.
" This..." Zhang Xin looked at her outstretched hand and was a little confused.
Ye Meng, on the other hand, saw that her hand was covered in mud. She changed her hand in embarrassment and realized that it was still covered in mud. Then, she saw that the corner of her skirt had been turned over and pinned to her waist. Her sleeves were rolled up randomly. She looked like a manly woman without any image to speak of.
Ye Meng put her hand on her forehead. It was really awkward for them to meet for the first time. How was she going to survive in the government office in the future?
"Excuse me, are you Ye Meng?" Zhang Xin saw that she was holding her forehead and seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so she asked carefully.
"I'm not." Ye Meng covered her face, sighed and shook her head. However, she felt as if ten thousand f ** k mud horses were galloping through her heart. Oh no, this person still recognized him.
"You must be Ye Meng." Zhang Xin stepped forward and pulled her hand away with a smile. "Look, your face is dirty."
She went back to her room to change into a set of clean clothes and washed her face. Only then did Ye Meng walk out again, only to see that the girl from before was still waiting for her in the pavilion.
" May I know who you are?" Ye Meng walked up and was about to ask who she was.
Suddenly, a pair of hands pulled her and pushed her to sit on a chair." Ye Meng," he said excitedly," your tea is delicious!"”
"Hehe, is that so? As long as you're happy." Ye Meng looked at the milk tea on the table and laughed dryly. However, he was sighing in his heart that this girl couldn't have eaten tea like it was rice.
"Ah, right, I haven't introduced myself yet!”After taking a big gulp of milk tea, Zhang Xin finally reacted when she saw Ye Meng sitting at the side without any reaction. "Ye Meng, I'm Zhang Xin, the daughter of the magistrate of Ningzhou.”
"Magistrate Zhang's daughter?" Ye Meng, who had been in a daze, finally reacted. However, she didn't remember having any interactions with Magistrate Zhang's family." Um, how do you know me?"”
"I heard about it." Zhang Xin looked infatuated and said," I've long heard that there's a very good girl in my father's government office. I've always wanted to come and see you, but I've been locked up at home by my mother to learn the guzheng. It's really boring.”Then, she said with an aggrieved expression," Sister Ye, you don't think that I'm being too sudden, do you?”
"No, no." Ye Meng laughed dryly. How could it be so sudden? It was so sudden, alright?
"It's good that Sister Ye doesn't mind. I wonder if Xin 'er can be friends with Sister Ye.”Zhang Xin suddenly leaned over and held her chin with her hands. Her eyes were wide open and her face was filled with anticipation.
"Of course you can." Ye Meng nodded. She would never reject a request to make friends. Besides, she had no other friends besides Qi Lu and He Tang during her time here. Moreover, she was a girl of the same sex. This way, there would be many things that she could not tell Qi Lu in the future.
"Sister Ye, are you really willing to be friends with me?”Zhang Xin jumped up excitedly after getting her affirmation." Sister Ye, you're so nice."”In fact, Zhang Xin was taught by her mother to play the zither, play chess, and learn calligraphy at home every day. Even if she finally came out to take a breather, most of the people she knew were constables. Therefore, although she was lively, she did not have many good friends around her. Therefore, she was really happy to be able to make friends with Ye Meng at this time.
In addition, she had heard her father praise Ye Meng before, saying that she was intelligent and talented, and had solved many cases. This made Zhang Xin admire her very much.
"Yes, yes." Ye Meng smiled at her adorable appearance. Ever since she came here, she rarely saw innocent and lively girls like her. Most of them were dignified and demure, making her very reserved.
"Hey, Sister Ye, what song were you singing just now? It seems very interesting." After the two of them held hands and chatted for a long time, Zhang Xin suddenly asked.
"A song?" Ye Meng, who was smiling, suddenly froze. It took her a moment to realize that Zhang Xin was referring to the song she had just hummed when she was giving the soil. However, there was no such tune at that time, so Ye Meng couldn't explain it at the moment." I just hummed it casually."”
"Oh? Is it a song from Sister Ye's hometown?" Zhang Xin asked again.
"Yeah, I guess so." Ye Meng nodded. She was a little emotional when she mentioned her hometown. She didn't know how her parents were doing after she came here. Her mother must be very sad. She didn't know if she took good care of her.
"Then I guess Sister Ye's home must be very fun.”Zhang Xin smiled happily." I wonder if Sister Ye can bring me over to play next time?"”
"..." Ye Meng didn't answer and fell silent. Should she go back? She did not know if she would have the chance to do so. Inadvertently, her eyes revealed a trace of sadness.
Zhang Xin, who had always been rough, seemed to see the sadness on her face. She put away the smile on her face and said with a worried look,"Did I say something wrong?"”
"It's alright." Ye Meng waved her hand. She felt that she had lost her composure, so she forced a smile.
"I'm sorry." Zhang Xin looked guilty. Suddenly, she rolled her eyes and stood up to pull Ye Meng up. "How about this, Sister Ye, let's go shopping, okay? That way, you won't be unhappy."
"Oh?" Ye Meng was a little stunned by his sudden reversal. She saw Zhang Xin coming over mysteriously and whispering," Let me tell you, there's a noodle shop on East Street that's really delicious. The owner is super handsome!"”
Zhang Xin couldn't help but laugh, which made Ye Meng's face turn black. Seeing her infatuated look, what did she mean by delicious? The boss was handsome, right?
"Don't look at me like that." Zhang Xin was a little embarrassed by her stare. She quickly pulled her hand and walked out. However, she could not help but smile as she urged," Hurry up, hurry up."”
As soon as they left the government office, they could hear the noise from the streets. Perhaps it was because the weather was good, but the warm sunlight was not too hot. From time to time, two gusts of wind would blow, blowing the hair by the ear and raising the hem of the dress slightly. It was very comfortable. Both sides were filled with stalls. There were stalls selling gouache, calligraphy and paintings, and some strange things. It was very lively. Ye Meng only felt a sense of reality when she heard the shouts in her ears. Suddenly, the annoyance in her heart was reduced by more than half. Since she was here, she should take it as it was. She felt that since she could not go back for the time being, she could still enjoy the scenery here happily.
Thinking of this, he felt much better.
"Sister Ye, is it nice?" Zhang Xin stood on a stall not far away. She picked out a jade hairpin and inserted it into her hair. Her face was filled with a happy smile.
"Not bad." Ye Meng gave her a thumbs up.
Zhang Xin ran over happily and took her hand. She took the jade hairpin from her hair and put it in Ye Meng's hair. She smiled and said," But I think Sister Ye looks better wearing it."”
"Is that so?" Ye Meng looked at the bronze mirror at the side and found that she was capable and neat in the mirror. The jade hairpin on her head added a little gentleness, making her whole person much gentler.
"I said it looks good." Zhang Xin smiled proudly and then pointed at the jade hairpin on her head and said to the boss," I want this."”
Then he turned around and pointed at Ye Meng." You can't refuse," he threatened." Otherwise, you won't treat me as a friend."”
"Alright." Ye Meng wasn't a pretentious person, so she nodded and accepted it readily.
"Sister Ye, you're quite good-looking, but why don't you like to dress up?”On the way, Zhang Xin said sincerely," I believe you'll look better dressed up.”
"No, it's too troublesome. And every time he was busy with work, he didn't have time to do those things.”Ye Meng looked ahead and said calmly. However, she was wondering if she was starting to be despised.
"Oh, I see." Zhang Xin stopped in her tracks. There was a cosmetic shop next to her." But even if it's just a simple blush, you'll feel different. Do you want to try it?"”
Without waiting for Ye Meng's reply, she pulled Ye Meng into the door. As soon as she stepped through the door, a fragrant scent assailed her nostrils. It was the smell of various cosmetics. Zhang Xin picked a few boxes as soon as she came in, and from time to time, she would rub it on Ye Meng's face to see the effect.
Time slowly passed. When the two of them finished paying the bill and came out with a box of cosmetic powder, it was already afternoon. The slanted sunlight cast a long shadow on them.
"I'm so tired." Zhang Xin cried out as she hugged a big box of cosmetic powder. She turned to look at Ye Meng and stuck out her tongue slightly, her face full of guilt. She had agreed to help Ye Meng pick out makeup, but in the end, she had to buy it all herself.
"It's getting late. Let's go back first.”Ye Meng kindly took the box from her hands and helped her carry it.
"Hey, no, no. I said I would treat you to noodles.”Zhang Xin quickly waved her hand.
Ye Meng felt a little helpless. She had forgotten about eating noodles a long time ago. She didn't expect Zhang Xin to still remember, or rather, she was still thinking about that boss.
Seeing the anticipation in her eyes, Ye Meng had no choice but to let her drag her over.
At this moment, a few black figures quickly followed behind them, their eyes carrying a hint of fierceness. The two people who didn't know anything were still talking and laughing in front of them, completely unaware of the danger approaching.
Finally, when they turned a corner, Ye Meng felt that someone was following them. She immediately felt that something was wrong, so she brought Zhang Xin to a crowded place.
Seeing this, the people following behind hurriedly followed, afraid that they would be lost in the crowd.
After passing through the crowd, there were a few small alleys. The men in black were not sure which alley Ye Meng and the others had gone to, so they decided to split up and look for them.
After the leader of the men in black finished assigning the tasks, he followed them into the alley on the right. Suddenly, a figure flashed past at the corner in front of him. It seemed to be a woman. Without thinking much, he quickly rushed over.
Ye Meng, who was hiding at the side, held a thick wooden stick in her hand. Looking at the shadow that was getting closer and closer to them, she subconsciously held her breath. Zhang Xin, who was behind them, did not dare to breathe loudly.
When the shadow suddenly turned around, Ye Meng slammed the club down on him. She didn't hear the muffled groan that she had imagined. Instead, the club in her hand was clamped and couldn't move.
"Ye Meng?" A familiar voice sounded, filled with surprise and curiosity.
