Yun Qiao rambled, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
Xi Lanting covered his mouth with his hands and yawned.
Yun Qiao wisely said, "Uncle Qi, you are tired from the long journey, so I will go back first."
"I'll give it to you," he said.
Yun Qiao: "No, it's only a few steps away."
Xi Lanting did not insist.
Yun Qiao walked out of his yard and breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Qi was so kind to her today, which made Yun Qiao feel anxious; he actually wanted to send her off in person, which was even more unbearable for her.
Fortunately, he refused, otherwise Yun Qiao really thought that she was going to die, and Uncle Qi was providing hospice care - otherwise, why would Miss Qi treat her so kindly?
She breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the fourth room with light steps.
Xi Lanting looked at the few remaining rice dumplings on the coffee table and was stunned for a while before getting up and washing up.
As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival is over, the weather in early summer is getting hotter and hotter, and the rainy season in Jiangnan is coming soon.
Xi Mansion is the most beautiful at this time of year, with lush greenery everywhere and flowers of all colors blooming among the green leaves, attracting colorful butterflies and bees.
Among them, the pomegranate flower blooms most vigorously, and its flowering period happens around the Dragon Boat Festival. In ancient times, during the Dragon Boat Festival, people would pick off the pomegranate flowers and throw them on the roof of the tent.
The flaming pomegranate flowers sway, adding a bit of excitement to this early summer.
However, the only fly in the ointment is that Jiangnan has ushered in the rainy season, which is humid and muggy, making you sweat all the time, as if you are soaked in sweat.
If you don't pay attention to hygiene, your whole body will smell rancid; if your clothes are not dried after washing, they will smell faintly and need to be dried.
Each room also moved out the winter heater covers just to dry out the clothes.
"Uncle Qi, your yard is very special. It's not boring." Yun Qiao likes to stay at Xi Lanting's place.
She didn't mean it as a compliment.
Xi Lanting's yard may be next to the water, or it may be on low ground, and it is cool and pleasant in midsummer. It is cold in winter, but there are several heaters in his house, so the cold is limited.
While she was talking, Xi Lanting was reading a newspaper next to her.
Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head: "You think other people's things are good."
"That's not true." Yun Qiao argued, "I also think my stuff is good."
Xi Lanting paused briefly.
He raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Qiao from the top of the newspaper: "I suspect you are taking advantage."
Yun Qiao's heart moved slightly as if uncontrollably.
"Will Uncle Qi take it?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
Xilan Tingfu dropped his eyes again and continued reading with a quiet gaze. He did not mock her, but did not answer the question.
Yun Qiao was so abused by him that he amused himself even when he didn't get an answer.
Xi Rong came in with a plate of pumpkin seeds. She sat on the carpet, eating melon seeds and flipping through an English novel. The pages of the book and the floor were all covered with melon seed peels.
After Xi Lanting finished reading the newspaper, he found that Yun Qiao had already immersed himself in the book, and the melon seeds were not stopping in his hand. The cashmere carpet was everywhere, and it would definitely be difficult to clean it when he came back.
At this time, she is very much like a child.
Yun Qiao worked hard to grow up, pretending to be an adult, and tried very hard not to show off her flaws. Only here at Xi Lanting could she relax.
She is greedy and lazy. Due to her good memory, she is not very attentive in reading. She likes to read various novels and magazines. She frowns when reading serious books because she is forcing herself to read.
The corners of Xi Lanting's lips curled up slightly.
He likes Yun Qiao like this very much and lives happily.
She never seemed to know what freedom was before, and spent her whole life living for others. During the years when she went to Kongquehe, she had a brief happy time.
Until her death, she was seeking a chance of life for others.
Yun Qiao is a very narrow-minded person. Sometimes Xi Lanting can't understand her.
The only time she exposed her greed was in front of him; and he took advantage of this and destroyed everything in her.
Xi Lanting sighed softly.
"Uncle Qi, why are you sighing?" Yun Qiao asked immediately.
Xi Lanting: "You stained my carpet, which makes me so worried."
