On the busy street, Shen Chen held Tantai Wan Ning's hand and kept walking through the gaps.
Today is the "Qingyuan Festival" in Qingyuan County, and the streets are extremely lively. However, with Shen Chen leading the way, the girl was not pushed by the crowd. Soon, she came to a wide stone bridge.
"It's really beautiful..."
Standing by the guardrail of the stone bridge, Tantai Wan stared at the lamps floating in the river under the bridge. Her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and there were dots of firelight in her eyes, like stars, and her long eyelashes were trembling in the gentle evening breeze. Like a banished immortal admiring the beauty of the world.
The girl's graceful and graceful appearance made even Shen Chen feel a little demented and confused. No wonder this girl had to cover her face with a veil all day long. Such beauty and beauty are indeed not something ordinary men can bear...
In a daze, Shen Chen immediately looked towards the Qingyuan River. This long and winding river had no end in sight. The river was about ten feet wide. At this time, there were pieces of light floating on the water. In the quiet river water, red and translucent, it is indeed a rare beauty in the world!
With such beautiful scenery and the company of a beautiful woman, even if a gangster like Shen Chen was born, he couldn't help but feel a lot more at ease at this moment. He stood quietly behind the girl, with a faint smile on his face, and his mood relaxed accordingly. Come down.
As time goes by, the night gradually gets darker, and there are more and more river lanterns on the river. At this time, a white silver moon has already hung high in the sky, imprinted on the quiet and clear river water, with sparkling light and the lanterns of the river lanterns. The red afterglow shines in the room, making it even more beautiful.
Shen Chen was moved by the scene, and couldn't help but think of the time when he took the girl to participate in the lantern festival in Mocheng and made a big fuss in the Full Moon Tower. At that time, he didn't have any ink in his stomach, and his cultivation was sparse and ordinary, but he The most famous place in Mocheng where countless talented men and beauties gathered, the scene was turned upside down. Many young people in Mocheng were very jealous of him. Even the beautiful ladies regarded him as a scoundrel and a disgrace to the scenery. , so that the two of them were eventually kicked out of Man Yue Tower in a very embarrassing manner.
Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago, but the pink and tender little follower is now graceful and graceful, and every frown and smile is tinged with an otherworldly charm, giving people the illusion of being possessed by the goddess of the sky...
"Haha, Nizi, since you like the lights in the river so much, how about I go down and get one for you?"
Shen Chen was in a trance, and the old momentum came to his mind again. He was laughing, and no matter what the people around him thought, he moved his body like a fish oriole, and flew down the high bridge like a fish oriole, with his toes following the flow of the river. At one o'clock, when he flew back again, he already had an extra one in his hand.
That lamp was made of colorful rice paper and was obviously made by a young and ingenious woman. Previously, the colorful clouds were blooming on the river, which was particularly eye-catching, like a lotus flower on the river. Many people were clapping their hands. Praise.
But at the moment, the object they admired and marveled at has been fished ashore by a guy who doesn't understand the charm. At this time, he is bringing it to the girl to borrow flowers and offer it to Buddha.
Such an act that ruined the scenery was, not surprisingly, directly aroused by a wave of curses. The crowd on the bridge with their lights flashing all despised this guy for being so shameless!
"Where does this kid come from? Doesn't he know that once he falls into the water and he is fished out again, that is blasphemy against the gods?"
"It's so shameless. He must be a country bumpkin from outside. He actually did such an act that is outrageous to both humans and gods!"
"Look, that guy handed the salvaged stuff to a young lady. Damn it, he turned out to be a prodigal..."
Not only the people on the stone bridge were angry, but even the people on both sides of the river were shouting and cursing. How exquisitely crafted and made of exquisite materials, the lamp was made of gold thread and jade. Even the lamp oil was added with high-quality aromatherapy. It was obviously the work of a lady from Qingyuan County.
Originally, people were still discussing which eldest lady's masterpiece it was, but now, such a disgraceful prodigal appeared out of thin air. How could people not be angry?
"Brother Chen Chen, you..." After being scolded by so many people around her, Tantai Wanning's face turned red with embarrassment when she looked at the colorful cake that the young man handed to her. She was both angry and funny. Besides, I still feel a little warm in my heart.
"Nizi, do you want it or not? If you want it, take it quickly or throw it back!" Shen Chen rolled his eyes, looking nonchalant, not caring about the curses of the people around him.
Obviously, this guy did this kind of messy things that made others angry when he was in Mocheng. Now he is just going back to his old business...
"Brother Chen Chen, thank you..." Tantai Wan Ning took the river lantern that was still dripping with water drops, murmuring softly, her pretty face became increasingly red, and even the layer of tulle was reflected in it. It's like applying powder, white and rosy.
At this moment, the girl's chest was bumping wildly. A little girl of her age undoubtedly had an innate rebellious bud in her heart. Now that Shen Chen was doing such an outrageous act for her in front of everyone, the girl was not only Instead of blaming him, he was overjoyed, just like drinking honey, his eyes were shining brightly, like a flying fairy from heaven suddenly falling into the world of mortals, incredibly beautiful.
"Haha, this young man is indeed charming and suave. In front of such beautiful scenery, he still doesn't forget to win the heart of a beautiful woman. Liu really admires him!"
But at this moment, a very uncoordinated laughter suddenly came from one end of the stone bridge, breaking the girl's mood and making Shen Chen's face on the side look slightly ugly.
The two of them turned around to look at each other almost at the same time. After getting familiar with each other, they saw a man in white clothes at one end of the stone bridge, walking towards him with several followers. A folding fan covered with calligraphy and paintings kept swinging, making him look like a scholar. An elegant scholar.
That person... turned out to be Liu Qi, who had appeared in the county government before!
When the crowd around him saw Liu Qi's appearance, they all quickly made way for him, with awe in their eyes. However, the young girls on both sides of the Qingyuan River who were about to get married exclaimed in surprise one by one, no longer as before. The reserve of appreciating lanterns.
"That's Young Master Liu Qi...Is he here too..."
"With such beautiful scenery, Mr. Liu Qi will naturally come, but he seems a bit lonely when he is walking alone among the crowd. Maybe it would be better if he has a beautiful woman to accompany him..."
"I heard that Mr. Liu Qi has not married yet. I really don't know what kind of fair lady can be a good match for him. I really look forward to it..."
It has to be said that Liu Qi's outfit is really easy for girls to look at. Some women who have a certain degree of beauty have no scruples to make shocking remarks, using some words that they are usually shy to say. , hummed softly in a low voice, hoping to attract the attention of the eldest son of the Jun Cheng family.
In addition, Liu Qi is already well-known in Qingyuan County, even more popular than his father Liu Hong. He has already been the object of admiration for many women in the county. His appearance at this time will undoubtedly instantly become the focus of the stone bridge. .
Even the people on both sides of the river quickly turned their attention to him. In contrast, Shen Chen, who had just made a shameless act, was ignored by people.
On the side of the guardrail on the stone bridge, looking at the man in white walking towards them, Shen Chen and Tantai Wan Ning couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Pretending!" Shen Chen sneered and curled his lips.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Nizi was more direct than him. There seemed to be a hint of anger in her eyebrows. She gritted her silver teeth and cursed softly: "Beast in clothes!"
Such descriptions made even Shen Chen, who had no good impressions of that guy, feel slightly speechless. He didn't expect that this girl was even more cynical and jealous than him, and her beautiful eyes could not tolerate any sand. Just meeting her twice, she was... Classified as a beast in clothes, Shen Chen couldn't help but sympathize with the "handsome" young master for a while. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh to himself: A woman's heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea, the ancients never deceived me!
"Brother Shen Chen, let's go, ignore him!" This time it was the girl who took the initiative to come over and hold Shen Chen's hand to leave. The anger on her pretty face was still there, and she didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.
When Shen Chen saw this, he smiled, shrugged, and followed Tantai Wan Ning's footsteps.
In fact, there is a reason why Xiao Nizi is so angry. Just now, Shen Chen handed the colorful river lantern to her with his own hands under the spotlight. In the girl's opinion, after such foreplay, there should be more Later on, I, Brother Shen Chen, may have something to say, which made the girl's heart beat faster, her pretty face was shy, and at the same time, she still had some small hopes in her heart...
But who would have thought that the appearance of that hateful guy would instantly make the girl's hopes disappear!
Even Tantai Wan Ning didn't realize that she had never been this angry before today. In just over an hour, she was so angry that she wanted to use a flying sword to kill people twice, as if someone had robbed her. Like the treasure in her heart...
On the other side of the stone bridge, Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw that he was about to leave without saying a word, and there was also a trace of anger emerging in his pupils. In this Qingyuan County, anyone who dares to give him no face like this, I really can’t find the second one!
However, in front of so many people, Liu Qi was afraid of affecting his image as the leader of the law enforcement team, so he shouted coldly: "Let's go, follow them!" Then he took several people with him. The entourage quickly chased after him.
"Young Master, since that little girl is so disrespectful, why not ask your subordinates to follow them and see where they live, then go back and find some good guys, take advantage of the dark and windy night to get them and present them to the Young Master. As for that kid, haha, Just kill..."
Along the way, the several followers behind Liu Qi all had unkind expressions. The follower who had helped Liu Qi find the traces of Shen Chen and the two of them before did not hide his ferocious aura and sneered as he offered Liu Qi advice.
"Haha, what do you know, Jin Biao? It's always more pleasurable to conquer a woman than to take her by force. That little girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old. How have I ever failed to deal with such a little girl who has just begun to have a love affair? Haha. Haha..." Liu Qi folded his fan, and the look of obscenity in his eyes became more intense.
…………
"Humph! He is indeed a beast in disguise. We ignored him, but he followed us with a lingering spirit!"
On the street where people were constantly flowing, Shen Chen and his wife soon realized that someone was following them. Before Shen Chen could say anything, Tantai Wan Ning snorted angrily.
"Haha, they're just a bunch of clowns. With your status, Xiaonizi, there's no need to argue with them!" Shen Chen smiled faintly, but that smile was a bit chilly. What was Liu Qi's purpose? He had guessed it nine times out of ten. He had accidentally seen the guy looking at Xiao Nizi on the stone bridge with greed in his eyes. With two lifetimes of experience, how could Shen Chen still not guess that guy? What are you planning?
For some reason, when he felt someone showing such greed towards Xiao Nizi, Shen Chen suddenly felt a strong murderous intention in his heart. It was like an instinct that even Shen Chen himself didn't have. Realizing that his reaction seemed a bit extreme, after all, strictly speaking, Liu Qi had no dispute with him...
"Yeah, they're just a bunch of clowns, but they shouldn't, they shouldn't, they shouldn't..." On the other side, Tantai Wanning was still sulking, bulging her cheeks and talking to herself, but her voice had just finished speaking. Halfway through, the girl seemed to realize something and stopped quickly without continuing.
"What shouldn't be done?" Shen Chen looked suspicious, his ears were very pointed.
"No, it's nothing..." Tantai Wan Ning blushed and lowered her head.
At this time, the footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. In just a few breaths, Liu Qi rushed up with several followers and blocked the way of the two of them.
"Haha, Miss, I think we may have some misunderstandings. You might as well go to Manxiang Tower for a cup of tea and let me explain it to you!" Liu Qi's handsome face was full of smiles and he looked at Tantai Wan politely. Ning smiled and said, deliberately exuding the aura of a mature man between his brows, while Shen Chen beside the girl was selectively ignored by him.
