Chapter 66 As Long as You Like It
It was evening, the day before the Cui family proposed marriage.
It was almost dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and the sun jumped over the surface of the Wei River. In a moment, it would completely disappear on the water surface.
Wang Jingzhe was rowing alone on the water. He rented a fishing boat. During the time he spent near the Wei River, he had mastered . So in his spare time, he would row a fishing boat to the middle of the river and lie on the boat to kill time. As the sun was about to set, Wang Jingzhe stretched and climbed up from the boat to return to the shore. Then he saw a wooden boat approaching him, with Xiaocao girl sitting on it.
When the two looked at each other, Xiaocao spoke first: "I will leave Longxi tomorrow."
"Where are you going?"
"Chang'an"
"Why are you going there?" Wang Jingzhe asked without any conversational skills.
Xiao Cao rolled her eyes and said, "The husband of Embroidered Shoes should be buried near Chang'an City. I will take her to the burial place and leave tomorrow."
Wang Jingzhe said "oh" and didn't say anything else. What he originally wanted to say was, can you leave two days later? I have something urgent to do tomorrow. After I'm done, I can go to Chang'an with you. But then he thought that the relationship between them was of the kind that only lasted for a while, so there was no reason to let the other party stay for two more days, right?
So Wang Jingzhe said okay.
Xiaocao glanced at him sideways and sighed slightly in her heart. It was really enough for a man to be so dull. Anyone with a little more intelligence would be able to understand what Xiaocao meant just now.
Why did I have to come all the way to say goodbye to you?
She could see that Wang Jingzhe was just floating on the Wei River day after day, bored and having nothing to do.
Unfortunately, Wang Jingzhe was too slow to react to the word "routine". He thought that Miss Xiaocao was just having a casual chat with him without any purpose.
It would be fine even if you just had a few awkward chats and then I could get into the main topic, but unfortunately there wasn't even any awkward chat.
There was a brief moment of awkward silence between the two of them. The wooden canoe and the fishing boat were close together. Apart from the sound of flowing water and faint breathing, there was basically no movement around them.
So embarrassing, so embarrassing.
When the sun was about to set, Xiaocao picked up the oar and said, "Let's go."
"Um……"
Wang Jingzhe responded, and when he saw Xiaocao rowing away, he seemed to suddenly remember something or make a decision, so he also picked up the oar and rowed hard. However, his technique was probably much worse than that of the other party. The oars created splashes of dozens of centimeters high, and the boat did not speed up. After Xiaocao had gone ashore, he was still more than 20 meters away from the shore.
When Wang Jingzhe got ashore, Xiaocao had already walked a long way away. He waved and greeted him, but the other party seemed not to hear him.
When they reached the shore, Wang Jingzhe threw down the oars and jumped off, then trotted in the direction where Xiaocao had gone. After chasing for a while, there was a corner in front of him. Wang Jingzhe stood on the side of the road, panting, looking around.
Huh?
How could he disappear so quickly?
Wang Jingzhe shook his head and sighed. As soon as he turned around, he saw Miss Xiaocao standing behind him leaning against the wall. He was stunned.
"Are you looking for me?"
"Uh..." Wang Jingzhe scratched his head.
"What's up?"
"Well……"
"If everything is fine, then I'll leave." Xiaocao passed by him expressionlessly.
"Hey, that thing?" Wang Jingzhe greeted her from behind. When Xiaocao turned around, he took out a piece of red cloth with a talisman paper .
Xiao Cao looked down at it, and Wang Jingzhe handed it to her and said, "I'll give it to you."
"what is this?"
Wang Jingzhe said seriously: "I spent a lot of effort to get this thing. It meant a lot to me a month ago. I was going to give it to someone who is very important to me, but I found out some time ago that I might not be able to give it away, so I'll give it to you."
Xiao Cao sneered and said, "Oh, you can't give away something, and then you give it to me?"
Wang Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "No, that's not what I meant. It's just that I don't know who I should send it to. Maybe there is no fate between her and me. If I can't send it, then I can't send it."
"Then why did you give it to me?" Xiaocao asked.
Wang Jingzhe held it in for a long time before muttering, "Maybe, somehow I feel that you are the most suitable."
"Give it here." Xiaocao reached out and took it from Wang Jingzhe's hand. After opening it, she saw a jade hairpin wrapped in red cloth.
It was already getting dark at this time, with a little afterglow of the sunset still left. When the hairpin was in Xiaocao's hand, a hint of color flashed, and the glass-type jadeite looked particularly dazzling and crystal clear.
All women have a common problem, which is that they have no resistance to sparkling things, such as diamonds, emeralds, and jade.
Xiaocao was no exception, especially when she suddenly had another feeling, as if the hairpin should belong to her. While also felt a little bit familiar with it.
An expression of joy flashed across Xiaocao's face and was just caught by Wang Jingzhe. He breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why he was afraid that the other party would not accept it.
"Thank you, I like it very much." Xiao Cao wrapped it up again.
"As long as you like it..." Wang Jingzhe said.
The two of them parted ways.
The next day, early morning.
Li Menghan went into Xiaocao's room early in the morning, and asked with longing and joy on her face, "Cousin, are you excited?"
"He is just an ordinary person. He is neither the Monkey King who came to marry me on a colorful cloud wearing armor, nor the Overlord of Chu who dared to commit suicide at the Wujiang River. Why should I be excited?" Xiaocao was fixing her hair and looking at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror. She suddenly suffered from insomnia again last night.
"But he is the eldest son of the Cui family, the brightest star."
"None of my business..."
At this time, the Cui family's marriage proposal team was only a few kilometers away from Longxi. In addition to the eldest son of the Cui family and his father, they were also accompanied by an elder from Nan Kunlun.
The marriage between the Cui and Li families is not only valued by the two families, but also by Nan Kunlun and Tiandao Peak. This means that after the engagement, the Cui family and the young lady of the Li family will share a lot of resources.
Wang Jingzhe also took the stilt house by the Wei River very seriously. He knew that he would not only face the Longxi Li family, but also the Qinghe Cui family. It was not a wise decision to offend two big families at once.
