Crown Jewels

Chapter 116 She might be jealous?
When the woman's soft voice sounded, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at him again.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, the breeze swayed and the silence made people flustered.

Amidst the rustling of bamboo leaves, there seemed to be a crisp click of branches.

Qiu Mingyu raised her eyes in surprise, and when she turned her head to look, only the bamboo shadows were swaying and crisp, so she looked away with confidence.

When Song Yan raised his eyebrows to withdraw his thoughts, he saw Qiu Mingyu, who was a head shorter than him, waiting for him with anticipation in his eyes, and he couldn't help feeling a little headache.

Because the two houses are both merchants, there is indeed some overlap.

The relationship between the parents is also considered close, and they often cooperate to take stock of business in Lin'an City.

But... At best, it is mutually beneficial, and no one has ever taken advantage of anyone else.

Song Yan thought that what he said was very clear.

But it never occurred to her that she kept talking in the ditch, which would be a bit annoying.

"Miss Qiu—"

The young man's voice echoed in the bamboo forest, carrying a distant indifference.

"Miss Qiu said carefully, since the restaurant is a business between the two houses, and my father is the uncle of the Song family, naturally he would be the most suitable."

"Song's heart is in the scientific research, which is also where my father's high hopes lie, Wuxin Fengyue!"

The word "unintentional" was emphasized by the teenager.

Even though he was a little impatient in his heart, he was still tactfully refusing, leaving Qiu Mingyu with the last bit of decency and respect.

The young man's voice wafted into his ears, Qiu Mingyu's face darkened every inch of his face, and there was a bitter smile on his lips.

But she also understood that if she didn't evacuate at this time, the last silk of face he left for her would also be stripped away.

After a while, Qiu Mingyu adjusted her mood and wiped away the non-existent tears on her face, feeling a little bit angry.

"Song Yan—"

"You look down on me, it's your Song Yan's loss!"

"Sooner or later, I will find someone better than you."

Qiu Mingyu bit her lip, and finally looked at the boy in front of her with anger.

Song Yan never argued with her, nor did he sneer at her, he just raised his eyelids and nodded at her in a good-tempered manner, as if he recognized that she liked what she said.

Those black eyes were full of approval from several people, and they never lifted her last fig leaf.

Seeing that Song Yan, a gentleman, kept her decent, Qiu Mingyu's heart ached even more.

On the surface, she tried her best to calm herself down. Seeing that Song Yan still hadn't changed her original intention, Qiu Mingyu snorted coldly at Song Yan, and walked away towards the depths of the pavilion.

But at the moment when she turned away from the boy, the tears in Qiu Mingyu's eyes couldn't stop blurring her eyes.

She likes Song Yan, she liked Song Yan at first sight in the academy.

When they learned that the two of them were business partners, they were so happy that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Can……

And she can't, stalking her to death, letting down the young man's painstaking efforts...

Leave her with the last decency.

The eyes hurt from the breeze, and the makeup on his face was already faded.

Qiu Mingyu wiped away her tears, took a deep breath for a long time, suppressed the astringency, pulled her lips and smiled, comforting herself.

Either way!

She had worked hard, and bravely said the love in her heart, and expressed her heart carefully in front of him.

It's just...whether it's successful or not, it's not something she can decide.

It is true to be humble and sensitive when you like someone.

But when faced with the rejection and alienation of others, she is unwilling to lose her freedom and dignity as a woman.

……

The sound of rustling bamboo leaves sounded again, and Song Yan just stood there without turning his head.

When Qiu Mingyu's figure was completely gone behind him, he raised his eyelids and looked into the depths of the bamboo shadow.

The large bamboo sea is full of verdant greenery, and half of the green embroidered shoes are exposed behind the green bamboo.

The embroidered shoes almost merged with the scene in front of them, which was why Song Yan hadn't discovered it before.

Song Yan raised his eyebrows, his eyelids drooped again, his tone became loose, and he could faintly hear his impatience.

"After listening for so long, come out—"

The boy's voice pierced through the bamboo forest, causing Gu Baozhu's back to tremble.

Listening to Song Yan's tone, I realized that I should not seem to be fake.

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips, and suddenly felt the urge to turn around and run.

But that... would be too cowardly.

In Song Yan's sight, the pair of green embroidered shoes first moved in place, and then became firmer.

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips and slightly raised her eyes, without hesitation, walked through the gap between the bamboo forests and came directly to Song Yan.

She just happened to pass by here!
It was also clear...the two of them blocked the way.

In order to protect the face of the two of them, I retreated behind the bamboo forest.

Seeing the person coming, Song Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He just realized that there was someone behind the bamboo forest, but he never thought that this person was Gu Baozhu.

Thinking of seeing Gu Baozhu who seemed to avoid suspicion in the teaching room, Song Yan pursed his lips and suddenly smiled, taking the initiative to break the ice.

"I thought……"

"Who is hiding behind and eavesdropping?"

The young man's tone paused, and he shook his head helplessly for a while, his voice humming with tremors, and he still looked lazy.

"What is eavesdropping—"

With the road facing the sky, is it true that the Huangu Academy was opened by Song Yan's family?
For some reason, Gu Baozhu suddenly felt a little unhappy.

She seemed to have a lump of anger in her chest, and she wanted to let it out towards Song Yan in front of her.

This kind of unhappiness should be...

Just now when he was in the bamboo forest, he saw Song Yan and the female scholar standing in the pavilion.

The sunlight made the shadows of the two people project on the ground, and when they intertwined and overlapped, it had already begun.

Moreover, the tone of Song Yan's words just now seemed to double the displeasure in Gu Baozhu's heart, and there was a kind of grievance that she didn't understand.

What did the two people in the gazebo say, indeed...

Not a single word was passed into her ears!

But, I really thought she was rare!
Aware of her emotions, Gu Baozhu frowned slightly, and put away her troubled thoughts for a while.

Looking at Song Yanshi, the corners of his mouth were straightened, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, showing an indifference that he didn't usually have.

"I didn't mean to bother you—"

"When I go deep into the bamboo forest and see you two, it will be inconvenient to retreat."

Gu Baozhu explained a sentence dryly, and added another sentence at the end of the sentence,
"After all... If the truth is smashed by me in the face, where will the girl put her face?"

"and also--"

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips, never looking into the eyes of the boy opposite.

"You don't have to worry, I haven't seen what happened today and I won't say it to the outside world—"

Song Yan raised his eyelids, with a three-point concentration between his brows and eyes, looking at the woman in front of him without blinking.

Her attitude was not very good, and she probably didn't even notice her aggressive tone.

Glancing at the corners of Gu Baozhu's straight lips from the corner of the eye, Song Yan raised his eyebrows.

Subconsciously feel that now and even now is not the best time to tease the person in front of you.

And if she explained something, she should...

At least... it won't be rare now!
The bamboo forest circled the shade of the sunny day, and Song Yan's eyes fell on the boundary of the bamboo shadow projected on the ground.

Both of them were silent at this moment, even the air seemed to be filled with invisible embarrassment.

Without hearing Song Yan's response, Gu Baozhu suddenly felt very boring, and somewhat lost interest.

At this time, the indifference on her face had receded, she nodded and prepared to bid farewell to Song Yanshi and leave.

"I put the Yimu fruit on Zhuangzi, and the princess can come and get it when she practices archery next time."

However, before Gu Baozhu could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Song Yan's voice.

This casual tone seemed to be chatting about some kind of homely affairs.

The word Yimuguo instantly made the image of that bright yellow fruit float in Gu Baozhu's mind.

In a daze, she suddenly thought that when her nails opened the small mouth of the yellow flesh, the fruit acid that made teeth hurt wafted out of the yellow flesh.

With this strange feeling, Gu Baozhu raised his eyes subconsciously and looked at Song Yan vigilantly.
