taste peaches

Chapter 56

The shadow on the bluestone bricks was getting closer and closer, until it was only a few centimeters away, and Chen Jingpei's palm was about to cover her waist.

Xuan Zhi took a deep breath, fearing that he would be playing with fire here, so he quickly stopped him and said, "I... I can handle it myself, so I don't need you to hug me."

Saying that, she bravely avoided him, chose a lower osmanthus branch, stood on tiptoe, and hung up one of the pink rabbit lanterns with great effort.

Chen Jingpei was annoyed and amused when she saw her kicking and jumping several times before she could reach the branch, so she simply walked over and picked her up, leaning over her and reprimanded her in a low voice: "It's really worrying."

Getting closer, Xuan Zhi smelled her favorite peach smell in the neckline of his shirt.

His cheeks suddenly became hot, and the blush stained the tips of his ears. Xuan Zhi struggled lightly, "Let go of me, don't let the elders see me."

It's almost eight o'clock, and Zhang Lianyi and Chen Huaiting should be coming soon.

She didn't want to make so many troubles.Especially in this kind of reunion festival, she doesn't want to destroy the harmony.

She just wanted to be selfish and have a good reunion dinner with his family.

Chen Jingpei naturally had a sense of propriety in his heart, coaxing: "First hang up the lanterns, and then I will let you go."

Yu Luo, handed her the green rabbit lantern in his hand.

Xuan Zhi couldn't resist, so he was forced to hang his green rabbit and the yellow rabbit in her hand on a relatively high branch.

"Have you made a wish?" Chen Jingpei pinched her soft waist, but was still reluctant to let go.

Xuan Zhi put her arms around his neck naturally, and nodded obediently, "Yes."

"What did you promise?"

"May the children and grandchildren of the Chen family be happy and healthy." This is a blessing for Grandma Chen.

"Tch." Chen Jingpei suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Xuan Zhi stared at the gentle moonlight reflected in his eyes, and asked puzzledly, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing." Chen Jingpei was stared at by her and wanted to kiss her, but he had to restrain himself, "I just suddenly felt that only the daughter-in-law who married into the Chen family would pray like this."

Xuan Zhi: "..."

Could it be that she was tricked by Grandma Chen?
……

Chen Xinyu finally moved the ladder.

But for some reason, her little face was always red.

Xuan Zhi thought at first that she was going to move the ladder to heat it up, until Chen Jingpei was called to the chess and card room by other cousins, and Chen Xinyu dared to move to Xuan Zhi's side, and whispered: "Sister Xuan, I have seen it all. gone."

"See what?" Xuan Zhi fiddled with the camera, taking pictures of the rabbit lanterns full of sweet-scented osmanthus trees.There are also the two hanging alone with Chen Jingpei, one yellow and one green, which are particularly eye-catching.

"I saw...Brother Pei," Chen Xinyu was at the age of first love, halfway through her words, her face was already flushed, "Holding you."

Xuan Zhi's camera was almost unsteady: "...you saw it all?"

Chen Xinyu scratched her head, her voice became lower and lower, "I didn't mean to see it, I just accidentally saw it when I brought the ladder back. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Especially the second uncle , I will not tell him."

The second uncle she mentioned was Chen Jingpei's father, Chen Huaiting.

Xuan Zhi was quite surprised, "Why?"

Why are you willing to help her hide it and not tell Chen Huaiting?
"Because," Chen Xinyu's small voice was angrily, "because some time ago, the second uncle got angry and said that if Brother Pei dared to quit his marriage and go to another woman, he would break Brother Pei's leg."

"So because of Brother Pei's leg, I will never sue Uncle Second. You can just do it with Brother Pei."

Xuan Zhi: "..."

Chen Xinyu picked at her nails and continued to confide in her heart, "Actually, none of our cousins ​​like Wen Shanni."

"Huh? Why?"

Chen Xinyu: "Because her mother was too bad, she hurt Wen Jinlang's ex-wife very badly. You may not know that Brother Pei's real fiancee is named Wen Xixi. But she died at a very young age. Yes. My mother said that it may have been killed by Wen Shanni's mother."

"But these are only speculations, and no one has evidence."

Xuan Zhi's heart felt inexplicably tense, and the safety buckle wrapped around the camera was soaked incomparably cold by the autumn night wind.Along with the three small letters engraved on the safety buckle, there is also a chill.

However, she has never seriously studied what the three small letters "WXX" engraved on the safety buckle represent...
