If she were directly told to go to the flower viewing party, Gu Xiyu would definitely refuse to go. But it was almost a game of peeking, and she didn’t have to show her face in front of others, so Gu Xiyu would definitely not refuse!
Sure enough, Gu Xiyu's expression became a little relaxed.
Ye Qinglan kept up her efforts and laughed in a low voice: "Don't you want to see what talents the girls from each family perform?"
Of course... Gu Xiyu is just afraid of crowds, but deep down she longs for close communication with others. This contradiction makes Gu Xiyu's temperament extremely unpredictable.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Xiyu finally nodded gently.
Zhang Yue and Ye Qingning breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at Ye Qinglan with admiration. Asking themselves, if it were them, they would never have the patience to coax Gu Xiyu like her.
Ye Qinglan winked at Ye Qingning, and Ye Qingning immediately understood, nodded with a smile, and whispered to Zhang Yue: "Let's go there first." The two of them couldn't hide in the corner and peek like Ye Qinglan said.
Zhang Yue nodded with a smile, and the two left together.
Ye Qinglan thought for a while and then ordered a few maids: "Cousin Xiyu and I quietly went over to take a look. You guys, don't follow us for the time being. Just stay here and wait for us."
How can this be done? Mo Xiang objected without thinking: "Miss is used to being served by slaves. I'd better go with you." Ever since she was chosen as Gu Xiyu's personal maid, she felt that she had a heavy responsibility and almost followed every step.
, not leaving even an inch. Don’t worry, Gu Xiyu is out of sight.
Ye Qinglan smiled gently: "If you all follow me, I'm afraid you will be alarmed from afar. Don't worry. I will take good care of cousin Xiyu."
Mo Xiang glanced at Gu Xiyu hesitantly. Is this really okay?
Although Gu Xiyu said nothing, she smiled lightly at Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang had to reluctantly nod.
Ye Qinglan smiled with a crooked eyebrow, winked mischievously at Gu Xiyu, and shouted enthusiastically: "Cousin Xiyu, let's go together."
The slightly immature girl's face is full of smiles, which makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
The corners of Gu Xiyu's lips raised slightly, and her mood became excited. She followed behind Ye Qinglan.
Mo Xiang and Feicui looked at Gu Xiyu's cheerful figure, and their eyes widened in unison. The young lady's change has been huge. She was crying non-stop before, but in the blink of an eye, she was happily beaten by Ye Qinglan.
"Cheated" away?
Ruixue seemed to know what the two of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two. With our young lady here, my cousin will be fine." After a pause, she said with a smile: "At least
, Cousin is very happy now, isn’t she? "
This is true. Gu Xiyu has always been withdrawn and introverted. She rarely has such joyful moments as now. Even if she gets into some trouble, what does it matter?
Mo Xiang was suddenly cheerful, with a smile on her face.
Ye Qinglan walked quickly at first, and then turned into a trot. Gu Xiyu trotted to catch up without thinking. At this time, the breeze was blowing on her face, and the wind was carrying the fragrance of flowers. Taking a deep breath, she felt refreshed both physically and mentally.
They all unfolded accordingly.
Soon we arrived near the lotus pond. I could already vaguely hear the voices of everyone.
Ye Qinglan slowed down and kept paying attention to the changes in Gu Xiyu's expression from the corner of her eyes. She was relieved when she saw that Gu Xiyu did not show any resistance.
It seems that what she expected is correct. Although Gu Xiyu is afraid of crowded and noisy situations, as long as no one pays attention to her, she will not be nervous or scared. If you want her to get better as soon as possible, you have to start from this point.
Ye Qinglan was thinking secretly in her heart. She laughed in a low voice: "We are just ahead. We want to find a place to hide quietly. We can see them, but they can't see us. How interesting is this."
Gu Xiyu's eyes lit up, and her little face shone with excitement. She looked much more pleasing to the eye than her usual lifeless look.
Ye Qinglan quickly looked at the surrounding environment and quickly selected a good place to hide.
There was a small patch of trees not far away. They were of unknown rare species. They were tall and big, just big enough for the two of them to hide themselves. And the terrain was higher, so they could have a panoramic view of the scene beside the lotus pond.
It's great, it's a perfect place tailor-made for the two of them. Whatever they want is available!
Ye Qinglan casually pulled Gu Xiyu's sleeve: "Let's hide over there."
Although Gu Xiyu was not used to others being so close to her, she didn't care so much at this moment. She and Ye Qinglan moved over quietly like thieves. The two of them hid behind the tree, only sticking their heads out to look out.
This tense and exciting feeling is really great!
Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan looked at each other and smiled, without saying much, and looked at each other intently.
The lotus flowers have not bloomed yet, and there is only a clear pond. There is a large open space beside the pond, with tables and chairs neatly placed. The table is filled with all kinds of fresh fruits and refreshments. The female family members sit in separate tables, or
They were whispering in low voices, or chatting and laughing in groups of three or five. It was indeed very lively.
For aristocratic ladies who don’t have much chance to go out on weekdays, such casual and relaxing occasions are very rare. Therefore, everyone’s face is filled with a happy smile. Even though they are so far apart, the relaxation and joy are still there.
clear and distinct.
After a while, the flower viewing party officially began.
Mrs. Xu stood up with a smile. She didn't know what she said, and everyone covered their mouths and laughed. Then, a pretty maid came up to everyone holding a bamboo tube filled with wooden sticks. Everyone smiled and smoked them one by one.
One. I don’t know what was written on it, but it was another kind of laughter.
Then, a pretty teenage girl stood up gracefully, walked to the open space in the middle, and put the flute in her hand horizontally to her lips. After a moment, the clear and melodious sound of the flute sounded.
The warm spring sun in the afternoon shone softly on the lotus pond, and everyone was intoxicated by the melodious and melodious sound of the flute. After a long time, the flute sound stopped, and everyone applauded and said hello. The delicate girl blushed slightly, but her eyes were filled with tears.
The color of excitement.
Next, there was a slim girl wearing green clothes and a white skirt. She did not play the piano or flute, but stood in front of a table covered with snow-white rice paper, and then splashed ink. From so far away, Ye Qinglan could not see her clearly.
Whether she is writing or painting, her gesture of holding the pen is very elegant and beautiful.
After a while, the girl stopped writing. All the female relatives gathered around and pointed and commented for a while. The girl also returned to her seat with a smile on her face.
…
Gu Xiyu watched all this silently, with desire flashing unconsciously in her eyes.
Ye Qinglan calmly observed the changes in Gu Xiyu's expression. Taking advantage of Gu Xiyu's mood swings, she whispered: "Cousin Xiyu, it's so lively over there."
Gu Xiyu nodded, still staring closely at the crowd in the distance.
Ye Qinglan seemed to be talking to herself, but the voice accidentally reached her ears: "It's a pity that we are far away and can't hear what they are saying. In fact, no one has any ill intentions. Seeing the beautiful ones
Girls, everyone wants to see you a few more times. As long as you relax and don't be nervous, everything will be fine."
Is this... talking about her?
Gu Xiyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking.
Ye Qinglan's voice sounded again: "If you don't want to talk, you can smile. No matter what others say, as long as you smile, everyone will naturally accept you. And they will definitely think that you are a very well-behaved and cute girl."
"Really?" Gu Xiyu murmured in a low voice.
Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded without hesitation: "Of course it is true. As long as you muster up the courage to give it a try, you will find that it is not difficult at all. Everyone will like you."
Gu Xiyu was obviously shaken, hesitation and struggle flashed in her eyes. Although she wanted to walk over, she was still a little scared and extremely contradictory.
With such obvious progress, Ye Qinglan naturally refused to give up and coaxed gently: "Cousin Xiyu, I know you really want to go, right? Anyway, we are already here, and it doesn't matter if we take a few more steps. If you
If you are really afraid that people will look at you, then the two of us will go over quietly. I promise you that we will never attract anyone's attention, okay?"
This decision is very important to Gu Xiyu.
She has been shutting herself in her own world, not welcoming anyone, and refusing to come out. Mrs. Zheng forced her to get close to the crowd, which made her inner resistance reach its peak. That's why Zheng Min unintentionally
He screamed when he was touched.
But it's different now.
Ye Qinglan gave her hypnosis for her first psychological treatment, and deliberately led her here to watch the flower viewing feast, which aroused her desire to contact people. As long as she takes this step again, miracles will happen in Gu Xiyu's life.
Gu Xiyu looked at Ye Qinglan blankly, her eyes extremely complicated.
Ye Qinglan looked back with a smile, her eyes gentle and firm.
Time slipped by bit by bit, it seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment had passed.
Gu Xiyu nodded gently, her movements were so slight that if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't even see her nodding.
Ye Qinglan smiled, her smile was so bright, her eyes shone brightly, even more dazzling than the sun: "That's great, cousin Xiyu, I'm so proud of you."
After Gu Xiyu made this decision, she regretted it almost immediately. But it was too late to regret it at this time. Ye Qinglan had already walked over happily, pulling her sleeves and walking towards the lotus pond.
Ye Qinglan did not look back, and could guess that Gu Xiyu must be in a very confused mood at the moment, and even started to retreat. She smiled and chatted to distract Gu Xiyu: "Cousin Xiyu, let's go find my aunt first, okay? She will definitely see you when she sees you.
very happy."
Yes, she got into trouble just now, and her mother was sad and sad, and even cried. If her mother saw her taking the initiative to go there, she would be very happy...
Thinking of Mrs. Zheng's surprised face, Gu Xiyu's uneasiness and fear suddenly dissipated a lot, and she suddenly felt unprecedented courage in her heart.
