Chapter 122 Do You Think I'm Stupid?
Lin Qingtang slipped away as fast as he could, leaving Chu Changxun standing there shaking his head and laughing.
Mu Nan arranged the dishes and then turned to look at Chu Changxun.
"Prince Chu, how about you have breakfast first?"
I don’t know how long I’ll have to wait until they all get up.
The man shook his head and walked towards the open-air balcony on the second floor.
"Don't worry, wait until they are together."
The river breeze in the morning is much warmer than at night, and many black-sailed boats are already floating on the river to make a living.
The shimmering green surface of the river represents the vitality he cannot see in the capital...
The man clasped his hands behind his back, the green mountains and clear waters in front of him reflected in his pupils.
For him, the first half of his life was undoubtedly like flying from one birdcage to another, with no freedom forever...
When will he be able to live for himself...
"Prince?..."
A soft female voice came from behind me, sounding dazed and as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Chu Changxuan turned around and saw Jiang Li still wrapped in the shawl she wore last night, standing at the entrance of the balcony, looking at him with a slight frown on her brows, as if she was full of concern for him.
The man pursed his thin lips, and his cold heart was instantly filled with warmth.
Perhaps, there is something in this birdcage that I want to linger on...
"You come here so early in the morning to enjoy the river breeze?"
Jiang Li took two steps towards him, holding her shawl. Although the wind was gentle, it still messed up her black hair.
Chu Changxuan walked silently to her side and blocked the wind for her.
"I just woke up too, and I thought the scenery was beautiful, so I stood here for a while."
The girl nodded, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Looking at his back just now, I just felt that he was so lonely... The broken atmosphere made Jiang Li feel a little breathless.
"Pear."
"Ok?"
Jiang Li turned around and saw Li Jinyuan with his arms folded across his chest, leaning lazily against the door frame.
The dark phoenix eyes stared at him without blinking, and the lips pressed into a straight line also showed that its owner was in a bad mood at the moment...
The girl's scalp tightened, and she thought, "Oh no, forget about this jealous jar..."
"Come on, come on!"
Jiang Li reacted very quickly. In just a moment, she managed her expression. The next second, she opened her arms and held up her shawl, looking like a bird spreading its wings.
Only after feeling the heavy impact in his arms did Li Jinyuan relax his expression. The jealousy in his heart also disappeared completely, and he was very easy to coax.
Chu Changxun was still standing there shielding the girl from the wind, and watched her run into the man's arms with his own eyes. Even though he had seen it many times, he still couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest.
It felt like a big hand was gripping my heart tightly, and I was immersed in this suffocating feeling.
A faint laugh escaped from the man's throat, but it was full of vicissitudes of life. He clenched his fists, as if he was trying hard to restrain something.
Even though he has no chance in this life, he is willing to be a bystander and protect her.
……
Several people were seated at the dining table, except for Lin Ci who arrived late.
Lin Qingtang was so angry that he grabbed his ear and pressed him down on the chair next to him.
"Do you really think you're the master here? I called you five times before you got up. What? Are you harder to please than Guanyin Bodhisattva?!"
"It hurts! It hurts... Sister, let go!"
The boy held Lin Qingtang's arm, just wanting to save his ear from her.
The girl snorted softly and finally let go of her ear that had been pulled red.
Jiang Li couldn't help laughing as she looked at the two of them, and then she casually served Lin Qingtang a bowl of corn juice.
The girl's puffy cheeks finally calmed down, and she pinched the spoon and drank the corn juice.
"By the way, tonight is Licheng's annual Fishing Lantern Festival. The people along the Wujiang River take it very seriously. Whether they're fishermen or ferrymen, they all rely on the Wujiang River to support their families. So this festival is a sacrificial ceremony for them to express their gratitude to the Wujiang River God and pray for more vitality for the Wujiang River next spring."
Mu Nan spoke briskly and reported his work to Jiang Li seriously.
“The streets will be very busy tonight, and it’s also a good time for us to promote our B&B.”
Jiang Li nodded and swallowed the osmanthus cake in her mouth.
"What a coincidence! In that case, you should prepare some more flyers and have someone distribute them tonight."
"it is good."
After Mu Nan left, Lin Qingtang also opened his eyes wide with excitement.
"Is there any event tonight? Is it lively? I love lively things the most!"
Jiang Li knew that she liked to join in the fun, so she looked at her sideways, her eyes full of helplessness.
"It should be fun. Shall we go out for a walk tonight?"
"Okay!"
The girl agreed without hesitation, then looked at the other two.
"What about you guys? Do you want to go out and play?"
Chu Changxun didn't say anything, just nodded, but Lin Ci immediately spat out the bone in his mouth and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course I'm going! I've heard that Licheng likes to hold bonfire parties, and today I finally got to see one!"
Lin Qingtang couldn't help but slap the boy on the back of the head.
"Who are you calling yourself Master in front of?!"
Anyone picked up from this table has a higher status than him. He is becoming more and more disrespectful.
"Ow..."
Lin Ci had never seen a woman in the world who loved violence more than his sister. Even his mother had to admit defeat in front of her.
I don't know which man will be so "lucky" to marry her in the future...
……
evening,
The sunset by the river is so much more beautiful than in the capital.
Even after watching it so many times, Jiang Li was still forced to stop.
Lin Qingtang lay on the railing of the open-air balcony on the second floor, while Lin Ci curled up in Jiang Li's favorite hammock.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful sunset…”
The girl sighed softly, and Lin Ci couldn't help but spoil her fun.
"Come on... Earlier, when we were fighting the barbarians in the desert, you said the sunset there was the most beautiful you had ever seen."
The boy held a soft pillow in his arms, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Lin Qingtang closed his eyes, a stiff smile on his lips, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists the next second.
"Lin, Ci!"
"Hey! Help!"
The boy was like a loach in the water, or perhaps it was a conditioned reflex caused by being beaten by Lin Qingtang for too long.
He quickly left the hammock and hid behind Chu Changxu the next second.
"Save me! Brother Changfeng!"
Chu Changxun was helplessly used as a shield by Lin Ci, his body was pulled left and right, and the fabric of his precious clothes was wrinkled.
"Let go of Prince Chu! Today, I will teach you how to be a good person again!"
"Do you take me for a fool...shrew."
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
“Lilililil…no!”
Lin Qingtang was furious, and the three of them started fighting on the balcony as if they were playing a game of "Eagle Catches Chicken". Of course, Chu Changxun was forced to do so.
