Chapter 783: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 44
The chaos at the street corner soon ceased, leaving only a few figures covering their faces and walking away in shame. They were all educated people, so they naturally knew about etiquette, morality, integrity and shame.
Only Miaomiao didn't know what happened. She just felt that the almond cake she bought after queuing up tasted really good.
When she looked up again, she saw that her adopted brother's eyes were fixed on her hair, and he seemed to be in a dilemma.
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need for us to be strangers. You've become even more strange now that you've arrived in Kyoto."
"Nothing. I just heard while waiting in line that the Entry Test date was set for half a month from now. I suddenly felt a little worried that I might not do well on the test and that my sister would be disappointed."
Xiao Yunzhou looked down at Miaomiao with pretended aggrieved look. He was not annoyed even when Miaomiao twisted his arm as punishment. He looked very youthful.
"Okay, we've gone shopping and bought some food, so when we get back you can start reviewing.
I won't go out, so I can just stay with you, right?"
Miaomiao had discovered that when she arrived in the capital, Xiao Yunzhou would take her out for a stroll whenever he had time, but on that day, the lights in the study were not turned off until very late...
Gradually, Miaomiao also began to understand that the closer Xiao Yunzhou got to Kyoto, the more he couldn't control his emotions.
After all, this city holds too many of his memories and is also the place that touches his fear the most.
By yesterday, Miaomiao really wasn't planning to go out and play anymore, but Xiao Yunzhou seemed to be afraid that she would feel wronged, so he still coaxed her to go out and play today, saying that he didn't want his sister to come to the capital with great difficulty but not have a good time.
It's almost like this now. The exam is in half a month. Miaomiao looked at the candidates walking along the road. There were so many of them that they could be dumpling dumpling. It can be seen that this special exam is difficult.
Therefore, it would be wise for her to stay at home and let her younger brother review his lessons well and do well in the exams.
Xiao Yunzhou nodded with an embarrassed look, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.
Every time he went out with Miaomiao, he was afraid that Miaomiao would be like those women in operas, who suddenly met love around the corner and could never let him go.
After all, in her heart, he has always been a younger brother, even though he would occasionally do something a little out of line, like helping her put in a crooked hairpin, or occasionally helping her lift the hem of her skirt that was slightly messed up by the wind.
But there was no emotion in her eyes...
In a few months, Miaomiao will be eighteen years old. When Xiao Yunzhou thought of this, he inexplicably felt a lot more urgency in his heart. There are always many people coveting the existence that does not belong to them. It's really damnable.
Fifteen days passed quickly. It was a sunny day and the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was filled with students who came to take the exam, as many as ten thousand people.
Xiao Yunzhou wore a moon-white tribute student's uniform, and his black hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, which made his eyebrows and eyes look even more handsome.
"Just go home and wait for me, and don't talk to strangers. I'm worried someone might target you because of me."
Just like he did in the past, Xiao Yunzhou started muttering to Miaomiao before leaving.
His hands also skillfully helped Miaomiao tidy up the loose hair on her temples, and his fingertips seemed to accidentally brush against her earlobe. His throat rolled, his eyes were deep, and his expression was gentle as usual.
"I understand. Don't worry about it. Just take the exam well."
The willow trees outside the Imperial Examination Hall were bright green. Miaomiao and the others arrived early, so they were squeezed in at the front.
After Xiao Yunzhou entered the Imperial Examination Hall, Miaomiao found a stone step to sit down, took out the half-read storybook she had bought from a bookstore in the capital from her silk bag and continued reading.
Fortunately, it was still early. If she was really tired of waiting, Miaomiao would go for a stroll in the nearby pub.
Who would have thought that Miaomiao felt that before long, someone was standing next to her.
"Miss, are you here to wait for your brother to take the exam?"
The voice was clear, and Miaomiao subconsciously looked up. It turned out to be a very handsome man. He was wearing a moon-white robe over a black shorts, and a long sword with a sharkskin sheath at his waist. The copper bell on the sword tassel rang slightly with his movements, which gave him a bit of a chivalrous air.
"Yes, I'm here with my little brother. Is it you, Master?"
Miaomiao nodded and chuckled, but did not stand up. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued reading.
"My name is Lu Chengyu. This is my brother's first time taking an exam like this, and I'm worried he might get stage fright. To be honest, I was a little nervous too. Seeing you reading so leisurely, I felt like I could use some strength, so I took the liberty to disturb you."
Lu Chengyu bowed, his hands with distinct knuckles covered with thin calluses, but his expression was very calm and clear.
Miaomiao couldn't lower her head again, so she nodded again, and saw that the young man named Lu sat down next to her in a very unconventional manner...
Lu Chengyu is a little talkative. Miaomiao says one sentence and the other party can say ten or twenty sentences, but he is not annoying.
Miaomiao knew that this man was the young master of the Weiyuan Escort Agency in the capital, and he would also accompany the escort on weekdays, but his younger brother was a weak scholar who had never liked to practice martial arts since childhood.
The two chatted idly, from the interesting stories of the escort agency traveling all over the country, to the rules of the Imperial Examination Hall, to the hard work of each other's younger brothers in studying and their prospects for their younger brothers' future.
Lu Chengyu is literate and well-mannered, and he is very generous. He is somewhat different from Xiao Yunzhou, who is well-behaved but clingy. Miaomiao was actually amused by him many times.
Especially when the other party talked about the customs and habits of different places, Miaomiao suddenly felt a little envious of the excited look on his face.
When the other party talked about his younger brother's mischievous childhood, his eyes were full of tenderness and pride, which reminded Miaomiao of how he looked when he first picked up Xiao Yunzhou. At that time, he was even more of a down-and-out but arrogant young master, but he was different after all.
In this way, they waited until the evening. Miaomiao didn't talk any more. Instead, she went home to eat when it was time to eat, and went to sleep when it was time to sleep. She just treated the other person as a chance encounter and would never see each other again.
But Miaomiao obviously underestimated her influence on others...
