Quick Wear: Is the Lord God showing double standards again today?

108 Emperor Development Strategy 33

It was dark early, and in celebration of Su Junhuai's birthday and the fact that he had already reached adulthood, the two Mu brothers kept asking him to drink.

Mu Zijin also drank a few cups happily because he had untied his knot, but they were soon taken away by Li Gongqing. He pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Uncle Li, give it to me~"

Li Gongqing held up the tipsy man with one hand and drank the rest of the wine in the glass. "Don't drink anymore. If you drink too much, you'll have a headache tomorrow. Don't come to me and cry."

Mu Zijin pushed his hand away and sat on the chair with her arms crossed, glaring at him. "You haven't even entered my house yet, and you want to control me?"

"Why, you dislike me before you even enter the door?" Li Gongqing rubbed his head in amusement.

Mu Zijin snorted, "You haven't expressed your feelings to me, so I won't fall for your tricks."

"I thought my behavior that night was obvious." Li Gongqing leaned over and moved slightly closer to Mu Zijin, his hot breath spraying on his ear.

Mu Zijin's face flushed red. "You...you...are playing rogue in broad daylight..." She immediately thought of what happened that afternoon.

No, I can’t think about things that I’m not allowed to see!

Fortunately, Mu Haoxuan accompanied his wife to the kitchen, otherwise he would be so angry that smoke would come out of his head when he saw this scene.

"Okay, I will come to propose marriage tomorrow. We can't let our Zijin wait for too long, otherwise what if he won't let me in?" Li Gongqing chuckled.

Mu Zijin coughed a few times and said, "I... I didn't do that. And don't get so close to me. If my elder and second brothers see us, how will you explain it to them..."

"Don't worry about them, their opinions are not important." Li Gongqing was about to sit next to Mu Zijin, and stretched his hand under the table to interlock his fingers with Mu Zijin's. Their gaze was full of affection.

Mu Zijin lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Li Gongqing's affectionate eyes, fearing that she would not be able to resist kissing him.

Su Junhuai was helpless as he dodged the wine while being careful not to let Mu fall. Mu Erge's drinking was really average, and very average.

He would always try to fight with him, then trip himself and hold on to his brother, saying that he had to enjoy himself after finally coming back alive.

Su Junhuai noticed pink bubbles coming out of his good brother's eyes, and he felt very happy and wished them both well. But when could he and Nanfeng finally come clean?

Su Junhuai was still thinking about going to the river in the evening, so he didn't dare drink too much and just took a few sips. The alcohol tolerance he had trained in the military camp was not enough. He was still sober.

When we came out of Mu's house, there were fewer people on the road, and the vendors were packing up and getting ready to go home.

Su Junhuai went to the agreed place anxiously. When he passed by a small stall, someone called him

"Young Master, please wait a minute." The man looked to be in his thirties and looked somewhat familiar.

Although Su Junhuai was anxious, he couldn't just ignore him, so he stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

The man took a closer look before continuing, "Look at me, I need to confirm that you and a young man bought masks from me before. That man gave me a lot. I have been thinking about giving you something when I see you again. Otherwise, our small business will always feel uneasy with those things."

As he spoke, the man took out a jade hairpin from the wooden box of the stall he had just closed and handed it to him. There was a peach blossom carved on it. The jade was obviously top-grade and the carving was also very exquisite.

"This was carved by my wife. She makes a living from this craft. Not long ago, I accidentally found this piece of jade from me, so I wanted to ask her to work on it. I brought it with me when I went to the stall today, for fear that I wouldn't be able to give it to you if I met you. Now that I happened to meet you, I'll give it to you as a thank you." The man smiled very honestly and with gratitude.

At that time, his family suddenly encountered an accident and urgently needed money. Thanks to the extra gold ingot given by Nanfeng, the urgent need was alleviated. He has always been grateful to Nanfeng for that unintentional act. It is a pity that he has not met these two people for so many years.

Su Junhuai hesitated for a moment. He didn't know about this. He left early that day and he didn't know how much Nanfeng had given him. It was not good to take other people's things for no reason.

"I'm sorry..." Before Su Junhuai could finish his words, a jade hairpin was stuffed into his arms. The stall owner hurriedly took the things and ran away. He promised that he would let the young man take it to the river, fearing that he would come back.

Su Junhuai was afraid of breaking the hairpin, so he wanted to chase after the man and return it to him. However, it was getting late. If he didn't go to the river, the day would be over and Nanfeng's kindness would be wasted.

After thinking about it, Su Junhuai put the hairpin into his arms and walked towards the river. If it doesn't work, he can ask Nanfeng and return it to the stall owner tomorrow. He can't accept the reward without doing anything, especially since it was Nanfeng who gave it to him.

Soon Su Junhuai reached the river, but it was very dark and there was no light at all.

Su Junhuai was a little panicked. Was he too late?

He looked everywhere but couldn't find the birthday gift that Nanfeng mentioned. He didn't understand what Nanfeng wanted to give him. He came to the river and found nothing.

Is it really that he is late? But he has tried his best to rush here quickly. Maybe Nanfeng feels that he has waited too long and doesn't want to give him a birthday gift?

Su Junhuai squatted down in disappointment, looking at the river in the moonlight. It was very quiet around him, so quiet that Su Junhuai felt that the wind blowing was cold.

Nanfeng is a liar, he said he would not leave

But he was also wrong, and he couldn't blame Nanfeng entirely. After all, he prepared the birthday gift with all his heart, and he would be angry if he waited so long. So he should forgive Nanfeng.

Su Junhuai stood up and prepared to return to the palace. His legs felt numb from squatting for so long, and he felt dizzy. He lost his balance and was about to fall backwards. Because he had drunk some wine, his reaction was a little slow. He simply gave in and thought that if he fell, he would fall. No one would see him.

He thought he would fall flat on his face, but unexpectedly a strong arm wrapped around his waist and brought him into a nice embrace.

Su Junhuai immediately sensed the familiar breath, and his subconsciously tense spirit immediately relaxed and he threw himself into the man's arms.

After being hit in the chest, Nanfeng stood still. "When you are unhappy, you want to act like a child and throw a tantrum, huh?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Su Junhuai did not refute immediately but spoke, burying his head in Nanfeng's chest and said in a muffled voice, "Are you angry?"

Nan Feng chuckled, "Why do you feel this way?"

"Then why weren't you here just now? And I didn't find the birthday gift you promised me. Are you angry and don't want to give it to me..." Su Junhuai said depressedly. He knew that this matter was not Nanfeng's problem, and it was understandable that Nanfeng was angry.

But the man's gentle voice always makes him relax and express his inner anxiety

Nan Feng didn't think there was anything wrong with this. "I said I won't leave, and I won't miss the birthday gift. Look at the back, dear." His voice was doting.

Su Junhuai then moved his little head and looked back. In an instant, everything in front of him was lit up. Lanterns floated here from upstream, swaying gently on the water.

The light of the lanterns reflected on the river surface, forming a colorful scene. Under the illumination of the lanterns, the river water became clearer and more transparent, like a mirror, dyeing the reflected stars and the moon into warm yellow.

The scene on the river surface was reflected in Su Junhuai's eyes. This was not the first time he saw lanterns being set off, but it was the first time he saw so many lanterns floating down together.

It was beautiful, like a galaxy covered in golden light. It was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen. “This is all…”

"All of this is prepared for you." Nanfeng took him to the empty bridge and looked down at the entire river from above.

Su Junhuai felt that the joy and love in his heart were being filled up little by little by Nan Feng, until it was about to overflow. "Nan Nan, I have a secret."

Nan Feng looked at Su Junhuai without saying a word, waiting patiently for him to speak.

Su Junhuai met Nanfeng's peach blossom eyes, in which everyone could see the love. "I have kept this secret for a long, long time, so long that I was afraid that I would lose everything if I told it, but now I don't want to hide it anymore."

"Nan Nan, I..."

"Su Junhuai, I love you"
