Chapter 344 Taking the Wrong Turn
He liked this girl; at least she didn't look at him differently, so he didn't want to lose face in front of her.
At this moment, Zhongli Yueluo was about to begin her tea ceremony, covering one of his small hands with both of hers: "I'm sorry, Muling."
Her voice was choked with emotion, and her hair was still dripping wet: "It's all because if I hadn't invited you to walk by the river, this wouldn't have happened."
As she spoke, her eyes immediately welled up with tears; those big eyes seemed to want to devour him.
He could feel that Zhongli Yueluo's palms were icy cold, which meant she must have been very worried about him.
He tried to say "you" several times, but couldn't, and finally blew a snot bubble out of his nose.
At that moment, his face flushed crimson, and even his ears felt burning hot.
Zhongli Yueluo couldn't hold back anymore. She bit her lip, and tears streamed down her face. She said intermittently, "I'm so glad you're alright."
"Yueluo, I'm terrified."
His voice was choked with emotion, but then he thought about how embarrassing he had just done and didn't care about his image anymore.
He grabbed Zhongli Yueluo's shoulders and tried to lean into her arms, but she only gently hugged his back. Both of them were damp and cold.
The people who had followed from a distance also rushed over, seeing the two of them in such a disheveled state.
"Young Master, what happened?" A servant from the Changyu family asked anxiously.
"fine."
Suppressing her inner grievances and wiping away her tears, she finally dressed up beautifully and went out to find Zhongli Yueluo.
Now both of them are soaked to the bone.
"Yueluo, go to a nearby shop and change your clothes. You're still injured."
"it is good."
The two helped each other up, but Chang Yu and Mu Ling's legs felt weak.
The two people in the shop were led to the bath room, separated by a screen.
"Miss Yueluo, young master, you should clean up first."
Chang Yu and Mu Ling dismissed the servants, leaving only the two of them in the room.
He looked a little awkward: "Yueluo, thank you."
Zhongli Yueluo was taking off her coat when she looked up and said casually, "Why are you thanking me? Aren't we friends?"
"Friends...yes, we are friends!"
Zhongli Yueluo was careful and soaked herself in the water bucket while still dressed; this was a medicinal soup unique to their Zhen clan.
Soaking it can relieve pain and promote wound healing.
After taking a shower and changing into clean undergarments, Chang Yu Muling's face was still flushed, whether from the heat or embarrassment, it was hard to tell.
The two looked at each other, and Zhongli Yueluo said, "Why don't you wear the clothes I gave you?"
"I want to cherish it like a treasure, how could I bear to wear it?"
"If you wear it out, I'll give you another one next time. Wear it, it'll definitely look good on you."
Chang Yu Muling couldn't resist Zhong Li Yueluo's insistence, so she put on a black dress, combed her hair, and looked much more dashing.
He was also carrying a tray with clothes he had chosen for Zhongli Yueluo. The bright orange-red color made her look more aggressive.
"It looks good, Yueluo. Come here, let me draw a flower on your forehead."
“This hairpin looks good on you, you can wear this bracelet, or you can wear the pendant.”
"Mu Ling, that's enough. My head feels a little heavy..." Zhong Li Yue Luo looked at herself in the mirror, gradually becoming radiant with jewels.
“My older sister doesn’t like these things, and my cousins are all wary of me, so I don’t have any close female friends.”
Looking disappointed, he sensed that Zhongli Yueluo didn't seem to like him either, but he didn't know how to get along with a friend like her.
Zhongli Yueluo has exceptional patience; she spent the entire afternoon playing with Changyu Muling in the shop.
The Su brothers, dressed in black, were hidden on the outskirts. Their presence could be sensed, but there were no obvious fluctuations.
If anything unusual happens, the two of them will definitely rush in, even though they were initially told not to come.
They were still not entirely at ease leaving Zhongli Yueluo in a male-dominated shop.
Even though the other party is still a child, they still have to be on guard.
Tired from playing, Chang Yu Muling sat on a low stool, swinging his legs as he looked at Zhong Li Yueluo, who was dressed in dazzling jewelry.
"Yueluo, you really don't look like the child of a businessman."
Zhongli Yuelu tilted her head, her posture dignified, and smiled gently: "Oh? Then tell me, what do I look like?"
"I think you're like a princess."
Zhongli Yueluo's expression darkened, but only for a moment. She smiled faintly, her eyes revealing sadness: "Princess? I'm not destined to be a princess."
"You mean you want to be a princess? You can't be a princess, but if I become the young lord, you can be the young lord's wife, second only to the emperor!"
Zhongli Yueluo was taken aback. How could this have backfired? She was there to crush his ambition, not to motivate him.
"Oh...no, no! The royal family has too many ties. I don't like that kind of life. I still prefer to wander the world freely."
Zhongli Yueluo waved her hands repeatedly, her accessories jingling, but she looked into Changyu Muling's eyes.
I realized he seemed to be serious!
"Mu Ling... I think... actually..."
"You mean you like Brother Ruoyu? That's fine. I like you too. Besides, it's time for the various clans to arrange marriages."
Seeing that he was speaking so seriously, Zhongli Yueluo went over and took his hand: "I really don't want to."
“But I feel that I need you to stay by my side. No one else will treat me like you do.”
Once a child gets stuck on a particular idea, it's hard for them to get out of it. Even if the path deviates from the expected course, it can still be considered a different kind of success.
The two skipped that topic and chatted about cosmetics for a while longer. As dusk approached, Zhongli Yueluo looked out the window.
From this window, you can see the bridge outside, one black and one white, waiting for her there.
"Mu Ling, it's getting late, I should go back."
"I send you."
"No need, they're here to pick me up."
Chang Yu Muling followed Zhong Li Yueluo's gaze and saw the Su brothers standing on the bridge.
Even from a distance, you could feel the coldness in their eyes.
He began to forget that Zhongli Yueluo treated everyone the same, and wasn't only gentle to him.
"Then I'll take you out."
Zhongli Yueluo saw right through his little scheme, and as he stepped out the door, he was still holding her arm.
With her innocent smile and dressed in a girl's traditional dress, she looked just like a young lady.
"Can I come to you before I enter the ethnic school?" A sweet, crisp child's voice rang out.
"I'll probably be very busy in the next few days, so I probably won't have time," Zhongli Yueluo declined, after all, he was the first one.
His disappointment was written all over his face. He took her arm and walked to the bridge, still smiling as they parted.
"Go back and be safe."
Su Fengling, the Elemental Wind Lord, nodded to him, then turned around.
Chang Yu and Mu Ling pouted. It seemed it was time for him to stop acting like a child.
