"This young master is willing to stay here because this young master thinks highly of you. You should feel honored. Don't think that this young master can stay anywhere!”Guan Lanzhi sat up and shouted in a rough voice, looking like a local ruffian. "Did you hear that?"
Really! It had always been others who vied with each other to invite her to stay for the night. How could she take the initiative to ask for it?
She was willing to stay because she knew that he was a good person with a kind personality. He carried her down the mountain at all costs. If he wasn't such a pure and good person who didn't ask for anything in return, how could she be willing to stay? With her status, he should feel honored that she was willing to stay in this shabby room.
" But…" Who would do that? "I didn't ask you to repay me for saving you, but you can't add to my troubles, right? Besides, I'm a man…"
Where did this girl come from? How could she be so shameless? Didn't she know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?
"So what if he's a man?" She raised her eyebrows and sounded extremely impatient. "What are you trying to say?"
Lao Yongkuang saw her high stance, and for some reason, the rare anger that flared up was also ready to move.
"You probably haven't experienced how scary a man can be.”he said in a deep voice.
Looking at her clothes, it was most likely that she was a rich lady who dressed up as a man. She had been cooped up in the boudoir for a long time and had not seen much. She was completely spoiled. She actually dared to say such words to provoke a man.
The room was only so small, and there was a man and a woman living in it. If he really had any evil intentions, could she escape?
Of course, he wasn't a pervert. He just wanted to scare her. It would be best if he could scare her to tears so that she would go home obediently and not stay here and mess around with him.
"Is that so? I want to see." Guan Lanzhi raised her eyebrows extremely high, not taking him seriously at all.
She was able to travel outside for a whole year, but did not see Ma and Mother send people to look for her because she had enough self-protection skills. Ordinary people could not get close to her. The other reason was that they didn't want her anymore…
Damn it! He reminded her of something unhappy again!
"Are you really not afraid?" She was really a young lady who did not know the dangers of the world.
"You can try." She smiled provocatively.
She happened to have a stomach full of anger and was looking for something to vent her anger on. He took the initiative to come to her door, and she was very happy.
It wasn't that she didn't want to thank him for saving her life, but that his question had come at the wrong time. It had even brought up her sad past, and she couldn't help but be furious.
Hearing this, Lao Yongkuang would not be polite with her. He rushed forward and wanted to forcefully press her onto the brick bed. However, before his hand could touch her, his entire person fell out.
He sat on the ground in a daze. He could not understand why the world was spinning before he even touched her, and then he fell to the ground…
What was going on?
He didn't seem to have touched her. Why did he fall under the brick bed after making a turn?
Lao Yongkuang looked up at Guan Lanzhi, who was sitting on the brick bed with a proud smile on her face. Before he could ask, she had already provoked him.
"Do you want to try again?"
Humph! Her martial arts were taught to her personally by Ama. How bad could it be? Even an ordinary expert from the palace might not be able to win against her, let alone a weak man like him.
" You…" How dare she look down on him? He was a man. If he couldn't even tame a woman, how could he face others?
He slowly got up, slowly approached her, and rushed forward. However, in an instant, he was pushed back to the ground by a force. This time, the fall was more painful than before, causing him to widen his eyes in disbelief.
What was going on?
He stared at her incredulously, treating her like a ghost.
Her appearance was so beautiful that she did not look like an ordinary woman, and her personality was temperamental, arrogant, and spoiled. She did not follow the rules of the female commandment at all, and he had never been able to get close to her…If she was not a ghost, what could she be?
"What's with that look?" Seeing the horror in his eyes, Guan Lanzhi couldn't help but shout angrily,""Don't think that I'm some kind of ghost. You can't touch my body because you're incompetent. Who are you going to blame? You can't blame me for your incompetence, right?”
He was simply impudent! Her beauty was well-known in the palace, yet he actually dared to treat her as a ghost…
"I'm useless?" This time, he really couldn't take it anymore.
A girl actually spoke without any sense of shame and dared to say that he was incompetent? He was a dignified man who was above seven feet. How could he let her say that he was useless!
He had only wanted to scare her, but now he had changed his mind.
Lao Yongkuang rushed forward. He didn't care if he would be pushed out by the strange force again. Anyway, he had to teach this arrogant girl who didn't know how to be reserved a lesson.
However, this time, he finally got close to her. Before he could scare her, he heard the sound of the door opening behind him…
"Aiya, do not look, do not look!”
As soon as Wu Xialiu stepped into the room, before she could see what was going on, she saw two figures intertwined on the brick bed. She hurriedly covered her eyes with her folding fan and pushed Ru Beibi behind her to retreat.
"You've misunderstood!" Lao Yongkuang hurriedly shouted.
He was not that kind of person. He just wanted to…be done for! If he didn't make things clear now, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Yongkuang, no wonder we wanted to go to Xixiang Street with you, but you were unwilling. It turns out that you already have a lover waiting in the room.”When Wu Xialiu saw him chasing out of the room, she couldn't help but tease him, not forgetting to wink at him. "When did this happen? He actually didn't even say anything. That's too mean!”
"That's right. You're really treating me as an outsider.”Ru Beibi did not forget to add.
Lao Yongkuang wanted to cry but had no tears. He said helplessly,"It's not like that. She…"
"Do you dare to say that the person just now wasn't a woman?”Wu Xialiu would not give him the chance to explain himself. "I didn't see it clearly. The weather is a little cold now, and I'm wearing a thicker robe. But if she isn't a woman, why are you hugging her?”
"That's right. Hurry up and tell the truth.”
" It's really not what you think…" God, why was he so kind? For no reason, she had provoked an evil person by her side and made herself look like an outsider.
"What else?" The two of them crossed their arms and waited.
" I…" How could he say that?
This matter was so coincidental that it was inexplicable. The two of them did not come in earlier or later, but they came in first…He just wanted to scare her. In fact, he did not even have the slightest thought. How could he touch that unreasonable and ungrateful girl?
"You're still in the mood. Why don't you tell me the truth after you're done?”Wu Xialiu looked at him teasingly, then exchanged glances with Ru Beibi and smiled wickedly.
"Me? In high spirits? Finish the matter? What the hell? I'm not in the mood. What do you want me to do again? I don't understand what you're talking about!”Damn it! He was incoherent again. Did he run into evil today? Otherwise, why would everything go wrong?
"You still say you don't understand? Her face was already so red, and she was still pretending?”Ru Beibi laughed so hard that she lost her composure. "We brothers know that you are embarrassed to reveal this matter, so we won't tease you anymore. Hurry up and go in.”
Lao Yongkuang was stunned, but he finally understood. However, his face was not red from embarrassment, nor was it red from desire. He was red from their entangled words and the unknown girl in the room.
"Come in with me."
He didn't let the two of them leave. Instead, he pushed them into his room.
"This isn't good, this situation…"
Needless to say, he had to make things clear today. He could not let them slander his character and innocence. At the same time, he would tell them how unlucky he was today and how he was made into such a pathetic and cowardly mess by the woman in the room.
"You…"
He pushed Wu Xialiu and Ru Beibi into the room. Lao Yongkuang frowned and closed his eyes. He wanted to be righteous to Guan Lanzhi, but she had already tidied up her clothes and even put on her warm hat. She was dressed like a man, and her pair of beautiful eyes were staring straight at him, as if she had been waiting for him.
"Is this your friend?" Guan Lanzhi deliberately lowered her voice.
" They are mine…" Pfft! What was wrong with him? Then why should he listen to her? Did he have to answer whatever she said? Stopping his chaotic thoughts, Lao Yongkuang said angrily,""Stop pretending, you…"
"What am I pretending to be?" Guan Lanzhi cut him off.
" You…" How did she know his name? Was she really a ghost?
"Eh? He wasn't a girl, he was just a young man who hadn't grown up yet.”Wu Xialiu listened to their conversation and fixed her eyes on Guan Lanzhi. She was certain that Guan Lanzhi was a man. "Just now, I took a quick glance and didn't see clearly. I mistook him for a girl..."
"She is indeed…"
Lao Yongkuang was about to defend himself, but Guan Lanzhi spoke before him.
"My name is Guan Lan Zhi. How should I address the two brothers?”She asked respectfully. Her gentle posture was completely different from her rude behavior in the room just now, which made Lao Yongkuang dumbfounded.
"Basket? This name is quite special." Ru Beibi laughed." My surname is Bei Bi, and his surname is Xia Liu. We are all candidates who rushed to the imperial examination from Shangjing City in Jiangnan with Brother Lao. What about you?" What is your relationship with Brother Lao?"
" Humph, what a 'I'm despicable, you're despicable..." Guan Lanzhi mocked in a low voice. Only Lao Yongkuang could hear her clearly.
She did not miss a single bit of the obscene words they had said outside the door just now.
He really didn't know how people like them managed to pass the provincial examination, and he didn't know how a gentle and refined person like Lao Yongkuang could get together with such a filthy person.
"What did you say?" Ru Beibi didn't hear him clearly and moved closer.
"No, I'm saying that it's my honor to be able to get to know the two of you.”Guan Lanzhi changed her mocking expression to a gentle smile.
"I see. You have good taste. Little brother is not bad.”Wu Xialiu nodded in agreement and asked,""What is your relationship with Brother Lao? Why is he in his room?"
"I grew up with him and was his best friend. When Fang Qiao met him in Shangjing today, he invited me to his place to rest for a while.”She answered without any hesitation, as if everything was as she said.
Lao Yongkuang was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that she was going to cling to him…If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have saved her. It would have been better to let her freeze to death on the mountain, so that he wouldn't have to carry her half to death and make himself angry.
" What a coincidence…Then you were just…" Wu Xialiu was prepared to get to the bottom of the matter today.
"Just as my brother has guessed, don't force him anymore.”Guan Lanzhi replied without any problems, her beautiful eyes not forgetting to look at Lao Yongkuang who was standing beside her like a stone.
" Oh…I see. No wonder he refused to go to the West Alley with us no matter how we invited him. So that's why…" Ru Beibi suddenly understood. She exchanged a glance with Wu Xialiu and took a few steps back."Then…we won't disturb you anymore.”
After saying that, he immediately rushed out of the door.
Wasn't it much more convenient to use this method? Look at how fast the two of them ran. It saved her the trouble of arguing endlessly by her ear.
Guan Lanzhi smiled and turned around to look at Lao Yongkuang, who was dumbstruck. She raised her leg and kicked him. "I'm warning you, if you dare to tell anyone about me being a woman, I'll kill you!”
Lao Yongkuang, who had been in a daze for a long time, slowly came back to his senses. He narrowed his eyes and stole glances at her, not daring to speak.
Heavens! He actually brought the evil spirit back…
Lao Yongkuang stood in the guest room and looked at the simple bed, the old tables and chairs, and the simple furnishings. However, a table of delicacies that should not have appeared suddenly.
He stared blankly at the table of delicacies he had never seen before and swallowed his saliva.
Crispy duck, golden hook and silver sprout, crystal fish soup…These were all dishes that he wanted to try but couldn't enjoy, but now they had really appeared in front of him…
Weird, didn't that girl say that she wanted to bathe and told him to roll outside and let the wind and snow pour on his head? Why did he come back after wandering outside for two hours to see such a terrifying…no, it was a delicacy that made him hungry.
Where was she? Had he left?
Lao Yongkuang then scanned the bare room with his eyes. After making sure that she was really not in the room, he sat down at the table and thought. Could it be that she left a table of delicacies to repay her kindness and then tactfully left?
Was there such a good thing in the world?
But she said that she would stay here until she didn't want to. Why did she disappear so soon?
Was she really merciful?
If that was really the case, then he really had to thank the heavens! Otherwise, if she continued to stay, he really did not know how to explain his relationship with her to his two good friends.
Good move, good move!
Lao Yongkuang was ecstatic as he picked up a piece of crispy duck meat with his chopsticks. However, just as he stuffed it into his mouth, he heard the door creak open. He looked up and opened his mouth in surprise. The crispy duck meat that he had not tasted fell on the table with a thud...
"Look at how you eat!" Guan Lanzhi glanced at him in disgust and then sat down opposite him. "Who told you to eat so fast? Can't you just eat slowly? No one is snatching it from you."
" You…" Didn't she leave?
Heavens! Didn't she already leave? Why would she appear in front of him?
"What about me? This Young Master said that he would stay here. Do you take this Young Master's words as farts?”Guan Lanzhi glared at him fiercely, her clear black and white eyes seeming to want to suck him in.
" You…" Lao Yongkuang put down his chopsticks and rested his chin on his hand weakly. "You're a girl after all. Can you be more refined when you speak? Don't always call yourself Young Master? Besides, do you know how ambiguous the words you said to my two good friends were? A girl can say anything. Are you a woman or not?”
Perhaps she wasn't one at all. Otherwise, why would she have such shocking words and deeds?
"Do you care what I say?”Guan Lanzhi frowned impatiently and glared at him. "This young master prepared this meal to eat happily, not to listen to your preaching. If you continue to nag and disturb this young master's mood, you will see.”
" You…" Which girl would speak in such a threatening manner? "You are a girl, not a young master.”
"Whether or not it's up to this young master to decide. This young master likes to call himself like this when he travels outside. If you dare to talk any more, this young master will throw you out.”Guan Lanzhi's slender hand slammed the table hard, and a corner of the table was instantly cut off by her hand knife.
Lao Yongkuang was dumbfounded.
She…Other than her face and her unshaved hair, he really couldn't see any part of her that looked like a girl, especially when she cut her hair with her hand…Now, he finally understood why he couldn't touch her body before.
"Then, when do you plan to stay?”He quietly hid his hand under the table.
"You don't welcome me?" Guan Lanzhi raised her chin and looked threatening.
"Of course…no." He smiled awkwardly. "It's fate that we met. There are so many people in the world. Since the two of us can meet and become fated, I naturally welcome you.”
Could he say no?
If she were to slash him in anger, would he still be able to live? Confucius once said: only women and villains are difficult to raise, it really makes sense!
"You're welcome. I treat you as a close friend. As long as you treat me well, there's no reason for me to treat you badly, right?”
Guan Lanzhi picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and put them into her mouth. She chewed in big mouthfuls. Her expression was bold and unruly. Lao Yongkuang broke out in a cold sweat as he watched.
"You're right." He could only smile and nod.
As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send one away…It was his soft-heartedness that made him carry her down the mountain. Now that she refused to leave, it was also his own fault. He couldn't blame anyone else. It was just that…he just regretted being a good person. Now, he had caused himself to be so miserable?
"What about you?" Guan Lanzhi glanced at him.
"Huh?"
"I asked you, how long are you going to stay here?”"Didn't your two scoundrels say that you came from Jiangnan to Shangjing to attend the exam?" she asked unhappily. So you plan to stay here until the end of the exam?”
"Yes." he answered pitifully.
"Alright, I'll wait until then.”Guan Lanzhi picked up another mouthful of food and did not forget to add a mouthful of wine.
"Huh?" Then wouldn't he forget about studying?
" But it's not good for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. If people know your identity..." Lao Yongkuang tried to persuade her to give up.
"No one will know." Guan Lanzhi wiped her mouth with her sleeve. "As long as you don't say anything, no one will know, right?”
Lao Yongkuang looked up and met her eyes. He looked at her slightly curved lips and misty eyes, and he was a little absent-minded. However, when he saw her frown and her beautiful face turn ferocious in an instant, he immediately came back to his senses and coughed lightly." There's always a possibility. Besides, you can't always wear a warm hat in the room. Sooner or later, people will say something about you, especially my two friends. They..."
"Of course, I can't always wear a warm hat in my room, and I won't give them a chance to expose me. I'll pay attention to these details myself. As long as you don't say anything, no one will find out.”She smiled and her slightly tipsy eyes narrowed. She gently raised her delicate hand and reached for him. "Do you have any other opinions?"
Lao Yongkuang saw her reach out and his body trembled slightly. He thought she was going to attack him, but she only patted his face, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
"What you said makes sense. I dare not have any objections.”he stammered.
Why did such a beautiful woman like her have a personality like a local ruffian, making him feel like he was being threatened?
She was clearly a girl, but her behavior, dress, voice, and expression were like those of a man who did not care about trifles. She did not have any of the four virtues of a woman. She did not know how her parents had taught her to be like this.
"Then quickly have dinner and rest early.”
After saying that, Guan Lanzhi stood up, but her slender body staggered a little. Seeing that she was about to fall on the table full of dishes, Lao Yongkuang quickly caught her and saved her from embarrassment.
Guan Lanzhi's watery eyes met his handsome eyes and she smiled sweetly at him, scaring him so much that he almost let go.
"You can eat. I'm going to rest.”She asked him to straighten her body. She still had a smile on her face as she walked towards the Kang bed step by step.
" Oh..." Wuyan watched her walk to the bed. He turned around and stared at the table full of delicacies.
He was indeed very hungry, but for some reason, the delicacies in front of him had turned into her bewitching smile, stirring up his rarely disordered heartbeat…
So she was so beautiful. Even without makeup, she was breathtakingly beautiful. But…no, she was sleeping on the bed. Where was he going to sleep later?
Thinking of this, Lao Yongkuang looked up and saw that she had already fallen asleep. He couldn't help but droop his shoulders.
What could he do if she didn't leave? Even if he wanted to scare her, he couldn't get close to her at all…Forget it, let her be!#
