Luo Wei lowered her head and hid in a corner of the carriage. Qingchen did not plan to tease her anymore. She still needed to slowly digest everything that had just happened. The carriage slowly traveled for nearly four hours. The sun was high up in the sky, and Luo Wei finally felt a little hot.
Qingchen glanced at the sweat on her face and did not move. However…she was hiding in a corner far away from him, her face full of vigilance and unease. Only then did he realize that this sedan chair was really big.
"Come here." Qingchen called her softly.
Luo Wei raised her head in a daze, as if she was considering the feasibility of her words. "Aren't you hot?" Qingchen continued to guide him patiently.
"A little." Luo Wei answered honestly.
"Come over here. You'll be cooler." Qing Chen patted the seat beside him.”
Luo Wei looked at him suspiciously and was a little confused. Wouldn't it be hot if they got close? However, seeing his unquestionable gaze, she hesitated for a moment. Since he had a favor to ask of her, she should see the situation clearly. Moreover, she still felt that Qingchen would not hurt her.
As he slowly moved over, he felt that the surrounding temperature had suddenly dropped. It was not because of anything else, but because Qing Chen's body seemed to be emitting a cold air that made people feel as if they had entered an ice cellar. However, compared to the current heat, it was just right.
Luo Wei looked at his indifferent expression and seemed to understand his intentions. She looked at him gratefully, but suddenly remembered something and covered his hand."Have you always been this cold? " I don't feel cold. It's okay. "Qingchen pretended to leave her touch inadvertently, but in reality, he was afraid of frostbite.
Qingchen saw that she was looking at him with a worried expression and explained helplessly,""I cultivate the art of extreme cold, so this is normal. "Luo Wei also felt that her actions were a little rude, so she shrank back and remained silent.
Qingchen rummaged through his sleeves and finally found something. He threw it onto the small table in the palanquin and his expression was a little unnatural."There's still some distance from here to where there are people. You can eat this first. " Huh?" Luo Wei opened it in confusion. After seeing what was inside, she looked at Qingchen with admiration, who was lifting up the horse curtain and pretending to look at the scenery."You're letting me eat this to satisfy my craving?“
The shiny and beautiful thing in his hand was the pine nuts that two or three-year-old children often held in their hands. Qingchen's face was slightly red. Her slender fingers picked up one and put it into her mouth."Isn't that good? "Pui-but you immediately spit it out. This thing is too sweet.
Seeing that he was acting like a child, Luo Wei didn't want to go against his wishes. She grabbed one or two pills and started eating them. However, he was very curious about the origin of these things."Where did you get this? "Qingchen tilted his head and seemed to be seriously recalling."Yes, there was once when I was following you, a peddler caught me buying this. Luo Wei pursed her lips and looked up at the sky.
With a creak, the carriage stopped. The coachman's voice came from outside,""My Lord, we have arrived at the small town on the border of An Jing Country. Should we stop for a moment?”
"Take a rest." Qingchen replied and took the bag of candy from Luo Wei's hand.""Let's go out and eat something."
Luo Wei nodded in agreement. She ignored Qingchen's slender hand that was reaching out for her and jumped out of the car.
After taking a few steps, she realized that no one in the carriage team was moving. Only then did she understand that the so-called rest was just for her. She tugged at Qingchen's sleeve and said,""You guys continue on your way. I don't think I'm far from my destination.”
The corners of Qingchen's slightly curved eyes suddenly narrowed.""You want to escape after you've had enough?"
"No." "I said I'd borrow your carriage," Luo Wei explained."We'll part ways when we get there."”
"We are here now?" Qingchen raised his voice.
Luo Wei lowered her head even more.”
Qingchen smiled self-deprecatingly.”After saying that, he did not allow her to refute him. He had already distanced himself from her and walked in front of her. Luo Wei could only follow.
When she arrived at the inn, panting, Qingchen had already ordered a pot of tea for himself. Luo Wei sat down on the stool opposite him and looked into the eyes behind the mask.
There was no emotion in those eyes, and her uneasy heart was still fluttering. "Sir, your dishes are ready. Can you serve them now?”The waiter had not seen much of the market in this border town. However, the moment the man entered the inn, the surroundings were silent. This was because the man's aura was too low. Even if he wore a silver mask and could not see his appearance clearly, he could tell that his appearance was definitely excellent, let alone his temperament.
That was why he wasn't surprised at all when he asked him to serve all the specialty dishes in the restaurant. However, this was not enough. Just as his chin closed, another stunning woman appeared in his sight. Her gaze was filled with endless charm, making it impossible for others to look away.
Qingchen nodded. The waiter went downstairs. This young master's aura was really too strong. Luo Wei heard the conversation and understood that the dishes had been ordered, but…she remembered that he had just given her a bag of sweets, so his order was probably not satisfactory.
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to show it on the surface. Just now, this person seemed to have been angered by him. If this continued, he was afraid that he would be burned.
She had no choice but to look around. Her eyes were attracted by a pitiful girl not far from the door. The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. Her fluffy hair was tied up into a ball on both sides of her ears. She looked especially cute. Her round face was like a peach with fresh raindrops, making people want to go up and take a bite. She was holding a flower wreath in her hand. The basket was covered by a brocade handkerchief, so she couldn't see what was inside.
At the border, Luo Wei could only see a large bearded man with a fierce aura. He seemed to be the woodcutter of the surrounding area. Some of them looked strange and wore strange clothes. Compared to the four people Luo Wei had met in the inn, she thought they might be some small demons that were active nearby.
Perhaps it was fortunate that Qingchen was by his side and his aura could not be ignored. Those people who looked very strange and dressed up avoided him. However, at this moment, a fat man with a round waist and thick shoulders stopped the little girl. She didn't need to listen to the frivolous and presumptuous words. Just that action alone made Luo Wei unable to help but despise her.
The waiter was sweating profusely as he served all the dishes. He even pulled the table beside him over. When Luo Wei came back to her senses, she was stunned by the scene in front of her."You, you, you. He actually ordered so many dishes?"
"I haven't eaten it before. I want to try everything. "Qingchen answered naturally. In the blink of an eye, he stomped his chopsticks and began to taste.
Luo Wei felt her sweat drop. This guy! Wasn't he too generous? He was simply trying to make himself feel guilty.
She closed her slightly opened mouth and picked up two chopsticks. Since it was difficult to refuse, she would dig in!
However…he could not bear to watch the girl's evasive figure outside.
"You want to be a busybody again?" Qingchen glanced at her and saw her absent-minded appearance. It was obvious at a glance.
Luo Wei shook her head and picked up another dish.
"Young Master, please have some self-respect. I only came down the mountain to exchange for medicinal herbs. I hope Young Master can do me a favor.”
"Little girl, why don't you stay and be with me for a hundred years? Who cares about your poor home in the ravine.”
This voice seemed to be because there were more people watching the show. Everyone was quietly watching, so the fat young master's teasing voice seemed to be louder.
Luo Wei slapped her chopsticks and stood up. Qingchen was a step ahead of her and stopped her."Stop. What do you want?"
"I can't watch this anymore."
"What does it have to do with you and me?”Qingchen's slender eyes looked up at her.
"That's you, not me." Luo Wei was just about to stand up when she felt Qingchen's leg hook onto hers. When she looked up, she saw a pair of smiling eyes.
"What are you panicking for? Don't you still have me?”Qingchen smiled lightly and moved his palm above the teacup. Luo Wei could clearly see that the tea in the teacup, which had just been steaming hot, was now emitting a cold air. With a smack, the light dust shattered the teacup, along with the ice shards in the cup.
He picked up one of them and shot it at the fat man's knee. He was about to lift the girl's chin, but the sudden force made him lean forward and he was about to pounce on the girl.
Luo Wei became anxious and angrily glared at Qingchen. The corner of Qingchen's mouth curled up slightly, and he changed his angle to shoot another ice shard. With a plop, the fatty knelt down.
"Who is it? Who plotted against Grandfather?" The fat man got up angrily with an unhappy expression.
"Qingchen knocked Luo Wei's head and said,"'Focus on eating."
" Oh," Luo Wei replied and subconsciously took a bite.
However, the fatty didn't respond. Instead, he forcefully pulled the little girl's hand into his arms. In public, the girl was so embarrassed that she wished she could crawl into the ground.
The waiter trembled as he came out to pour more tea. However, he saw that the teacup was already broken. He casually added a new one and explained,"This person is called Fang Yiba, the son of a rich man nearby. He likes to tease women from good families. This kind of situation is already common. After all, with his family backing him up, we can't help him.”
"Is that so?" The one who asked was Qingchen.
Luo Wei's gaze drifted over again, the worry on her face growing. Qingchen picked up the fragments on the table and flicked them at Fang Yiba. However, he did not hit Fang Yiba's vital points. It was as if he was deliberately trying to let Fang Yiba discover it.
The fatty's skin was thick. Although he was tanned, his skin was very tender because he had been pampered. Although Qingchen did not use much strength, the fatty was still scratched by the broken porcelain pieces. The fatty looked at the instigator and pulled the girl in. He pointed at the tip of Qingchen's nose and said,"How dare you plot against me?"
" Yes." Qingchen shrugged and said," Everyone saw it. I calculated it clearly."”
Luo Wei felt like there were crows flying in the sky. This person was really righteous!# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 21PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
