This time, it was finally Ye Qinglan's turn to have some free time to watch Ye Qingning's show.
Ye Qingning's smile was slightly unnaturally stiff: "Me and Shi Mei are planning to go to the lotus pond."
Zheng Junyan smiled, not knowing what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere was quite awkward. Cui Yu in front heard the movement behind him, so he turned around and walked over.
He and Zheng Junyan were both studying in the Imperial College, and both were talented people. Although they were not particularly familiar with each other, they all knew each other. After they met and exchanged pleasantries with each other, the atmosphere finally became less awkward.
Ye Qinglan couldn't help but laugh secretly as she listened to the two people's polite words. After reading a lot, do they always talk like this? She felt tired even though they were talking.
Ye Qingning was obviously used to hearing this, so he didn't have any special reaction. He took advantage of this short moment to adjust his mood and looked much calmer.
Ye Qinglan suddenly had a naughty idea, and said with a smile: "Cousin Zheng, it would be better to meet by chance. We are going to the lotus pond to go boating, how about we go together?"
Ye Qingning's teeth itched with hatred, and she glared at Ye Qinglan without any trace. Although Zheng Junyan often came to Changyuan's house, it was not unusual for the two of them to go boating together. But after all, that was all in the past. Now... both of them want it.
When you are engaged, you should avoid suspicion. How could you be so close? How embarrassing it would be!
The feeling of teasing people is really great. No wonder Ye Qingning was so enthusiastic just now!
Ye Qinglan also experienced the fun, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister and I don't have much strength, so we will have to trouble cousin Zheng and Brother Cui to row the boat for us."
Speaking of this, Zheng Junyan naturally found it difficult to refuse, so he nodded in agreement with a smile.
Ye Qinglan smiled and winked at Ye Qingning, and was surprised to see Ye Qingning glare at her. Regardless of whether Ye Qingning was happy or not, in short, Zheng Junyan had agreed. The boat was also marked today!
The two teenagers walked in front, followed closely by Ye Qinglan and Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning tried his best to lower his voice: "What the hell are you doing? Okay, what are you calling him for?"
Ye Qinglan responded in a low voice with an innocent face: "It's lively when there are many people! Besides, Cousin Zheng is not an outsider either."
Ye Qingning blushed slightly and glared at Ye Qinglan angrily. Ye Qinglan replied with a playful smile: "Don't be afraid, Cousin Zheng will never dare to do anything while I'm here."
What's the use of hands and feet...
Ye Qingning's pretty face turned red and she continued to stare in embarrassment.
Ye Qinglan had already laughed so hard in her heart that she couldn't stand up straight, but she also knew that Ye Qingning was thin-skinned. If he joked again, she would be really annoyed. Finally, she had the wisdom to stop talking.
Despite this, Ye Qingning's face was still burning. It wasn't until he reached the pond that the heat on his face subsided a little.
Zheng Junyan turned around and couldn't help but be startled: "What's wrong with my cousin? Why is your face so red?"
Ye Qingning felt ashamed and embarrassed, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Fortunately, Ye Qinglan rushed to smooth things over for her: "I feel a little hot on my face after being exposed to the sun for so long!"
Zheng Junyan smiled but didn't ask any more questions.
As expected, there were two wooden boats by the pond. The wooden boats were not too big. There was a wooden boat on each side. They could accommodate about five or six people. The bows were tied with thick ropes and wrapped around the thick willow trees beside the pond. Zheng
Jun Yan personally untied one of the ropes and then motioned for everyone to get on the boat.
Cui Yu got on the wooden boat first. Ye Qingning was standing in front, but deliberately did not move at this time. Ye Qinglan had to walk up first. Coincidentally, the wooden boat suddenly shook at this time. Ye Qinglan lost her balance and staggered a step.
Cui Yu was startled. He held Ye Qinglan's arm without thinking.
Ye Qinglan relied on the support to stand upright, and raised her head while breathing unsteadily: "Thank you Brother Cui Shi."
At such a close distance, Cui Yu could clearly see her long eyelashes, bright black eyes, and the small smile on her lips. With his heart shaking, he forgot to let go and still held Ye Qinglan's arm firmly.
.
Ye Qinglan withdrew her arm forcefully without leaving any trace.
Only then did Cui Yu realize that he was being rude, his face suddenly turned red, he quickly let go of his hand, and took two steps back unconsciously.
Ye Qinglan's sharp eyes saw him retreating to the side of the boat. The small wooden boat had tilted slightly, and she hurriedly shouted: "Brother Cui Shi, be careful..."
Cui Yu's head was so dizzy that he could not remember standing on the wooden boat. He actually took a step back and stepped on the side of the boat. The wooden boat could not withstand the weight and immediately tilted to one side.
Cui Yu couldn't stand still and immediately fell from the side of the boat. First he said "Hey", and then there was a pop. He fell into the pond.
Ye Qinglan had no time to look at Cui Yu's situation at this moment. The small wooden boat tilted to the other side. She was busy trying to stabilize her body to avoid falling into the water. Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan were also shocked by this sudden change.
, by the time he reacted, Cui Yu had already stood up in the pond.
It turned out that the edge of the pond was not deep, only about one meter. After Cui Yu took two gulps of water, he stood up straight in the water. His waist and above were exposed to the water, but his clothes and hair were soaked, and his face was still wet.
The water keeps dripping down, not to mention how embarrassing it is.
It was not very kind to laugh at this time. But Ye Qinglan couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
Cui Yu stood in the water, looking up at Ye Qinglan at the bow of the boat, pursed his lips and smiled softly. That cheerful smile was more dazzling than the sun in the sky. He was a little crazy looking at it, and for a moment he forgot that he was still in the water.
The maids and servants all ran over in a hurry. Zheng Junyan also reacted and shouted: "Come up quickly. You have been in the water for a long time, don't get cold again."
Only then did Cui Yu come to his senses and trudged ashore. His clothes were wet and clinging to his body, and he looked like a drowned rat. It was both embarrassing and ridiculous.
Ye Qingning couldn't help but laugh.
Cui Yu had a good temper and said with a self-deprecating smile: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I wouldn't know how much water I would have to drink today."
Ye Qinglan had stopped laughing, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but laugh again. This little accident greatly shortened the distance between the young men and women. The awkward and tense atmosphere before was swept away.
Zheng Junyan glanced at Cui Yu and said with a smile: "It seems that the boat will not be able to row today. It's better to find some clean clothes and change into it quickly!"
Ye Qingning said: "Go to sister-in-law's yard, there must be brother's clothes there."
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and said: "Let's go to Hefengyuan! I asked the maid to find a piece of clothes left by cousin Xue for Brother Cui Shi to change into." Cui Yu is much shorter than Ye Yuanwei, so he will definitely not be able to wear his clothes.
It's suitable. It's about the same height as Xue Yushu.
That’s fine! Ye Qingning nodded quickly.
So, a group of people hurried to Hefengyuan. Fortunately, Hefengyuan was not far away, and they arrived in less than a cup of tea. Hongluan heard the knock on the door and hurriedly ran to open the door, and then
His eyes widened in surprise.
Ye Qinglan simply ordered: "Go to Cousin Xue's house and find some clothes."
Hong Luan hurriedly took the order and soon found some clean clothes. Cui Yu hurried to the guest room to change clothes and tidy up.
Ye Qinglan and others sat down in the side hall and waited for a while, while Ruixue and Guiyuan were busy serving tea and snacks to everyone. However, there were almost no guests in Hefeng Courtyard, and there were no particularly exquisite snacks on weekdays.
In a hurry, he could only put out a few plates of snacks that Ye Qinglan usually ate.
Zheng Junyan didn't like sweets, but Ye Qingning was a bit picky about it, looking down on these ordinary refreshments at all, and didn't even try. Ye Qinglan was not picky about food, and she picked up a piece and ate it with gusto.
Ye Qingning and Zheng Junyan deliberately did not look at each other. They occasionally looked at each other and then looked away.
Ye Qinglan calmly paid attention to the expressions of the two of them. The two of them were almost an unmarried couple, but they were far less natural than the way they got along before.
It's no wonder when you think about it. Ye Qingning is still thinking about Gu Xinian, and Zheng Junyan probably can't forget Gu Xiyu. But the two of them were forced to become a couple. It's strange that they don't feel awkward. There is an element of shyness in this.
At least. If this continues, even if the two get married in the future, they probably won't be able to get along well...
Just as they were thinking, Cui Yu's figure appeared in front of the three of them.
Ye Qinglan glanced at Cui Yu and suddenly had the urge to laugh again.
Cui Yu's figure is indeed similar to Xue Yushu's, and Xue Yushu's clothes fit her perfectly. But the key is that Xue Yushu always likes to wear bright clothes, and the brocade robe Hong Luan found is crimson. It's so showy and bright.
The color looks a little weird when worn on Cui Yu.
Cui Yu himself was obviously not used to it. After seeing Ye Qinglan's laughing eyes, he became even more uncomfortable. He felt that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Ye Qingning felt happy and blinked at Ye Qinglan. Such a simple and honest young man is really rare, so you have to take advantage of it!
Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows. Stop caring about me. Cousin Zheng is right here. Why don't you take the time to cultivate a relationship with him?
The two sisters were flirting here, but Zheng Junyan was relieved because of Cui Yu's arrival. It was a bit embarrassing to stay with two girls, one of whom was about to be his fiancée. It was a bit weird not to speak.
But he wanted to talk but didn't know what to say. The period just now was probably the most difficult time he had ever spent in his life.
"Your hair isn't dry yet, why don't you sit down for a while and wait for it to dry before leaving!" Ye Qinglan broke the silence with a smile.
Although they had met twice before, the two of them had actually not exchanged a few words at all. This little accident had brought the two of them closer. Now, when Ye Qinglan saw Cui Yu, she couldn't help but think of the scene where he fell into the water just now, and her tone of voice
There is a bit more smile in my heart.
Cui Yu was immediately flattered and nodded repeatedly, his eyes lingering on Ye Qinglan's smooth and fair face. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
