Chapter 189 - Slip and Hug Again
Chapter 189 Slip and Hug Again
They arrived at the place Jiang Yashuang talked about. Lotus leaves were all closely next to each other, weaving a tight blanket. In the middle bloomed white and red flowers. There were also lotus seedpods, singing birds, and croaking frogs. On the bank, there were tall willows and exuberant aspens. The cicada chirped without stopping. It was the most typical summer scenery.
Qiu Yelan rode the horse here with him. Even though Jiang Yashuang chose to ride in shadows and the wind was cool, she had sweated after riding this far. Now standing on the bank, looking at the clear lake water that was hidden in between the flowers and leaves, Qiu Yelan couldn’t help but mumbled, “I really want to go swimming…”
“There are too many people here. Let’s find a place with fewer people and I’ll watch out for you?” Hearing her, Jiang Yashuang immediately came close and said viciously by her ears.
“Then you will take my clothes away and use this to force me to be with you?” Qiu Yelan squinted at him and smiled coldly, “You think I would fall for that? You’re too despicable!”
Jiang Yashuang was dazed after failing to joke about her. He then said surprisingly, “No way? Who do you think I am?”
Qiu Yelan put on a straight face, “They said you can’t judge a book by its cover. How do I know who you are?”
“Not that kind of person!” Jiang Yashuang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “We’re engaged. Why would I force you? Isn’t this something that would happen anyway?”
Qiu Yelan rolled her eyes, “So I’m not that attractive to you?”
“No. You’re very…” Jiang Yashuang denied subconsciously. Before he could finish the sentence, Qiu Yelan grabbed his ear, “I know you didn’t mean well when you asked me out! See! I got you! You’re lucky that my brother isn’t here. Otherwise, humph, you’ll be in huge trouble!”
Jiang Yashuang felt depressed. He grabbed her hands and held them tightly. He asked annoyingly, “Are you playing me?”
“You’re dumb!” Qiu Yelan laughed wickedly. She pulled her hands out, lifted her dress, and started running. While running, she kept annoying him, “And so what if I’m playing you? Are you going to hit me?”
Jiang Yashuang chased after her. He felt funny and annoyed, “I don’t want to hit you. But some small punishments… Slow down! Watch the road!”
Hearing how he emphasized the word “punishment”, Qiu Yelan turned her head back and said contemptuously, “How dare you!”
But because of that, she tripped herself. Her feet stepped on her dress. She didn’t have time to say anything before she fell into the lake.
“Watch out!” Seeing this, Jiang Yashuang jumped over, trying to catch her. To avoid both falling into the water, he carried Qiu Yelan in the air and then jumped with full strength. Then they rolled down the other side of the bank into the lush grass.
They went out today on a secret date. The servants they brought were the ones that knew how to keep a secret and how to behave. Now the servants were all far behind them. Seeing this, the servants all ran towards them crazily. The servants were worried that they were hurt.
But in fact, they didn’t even have a scratch. The grass in this season was as thick as a blanket. The two of them just felt like they were lying on something softer than a quilt after rolling down. They were both relieved.
Qiu Yelan was on top of Jiang Yashuang at this moment. She tried to stand up while laughing, “Didn’t you said you were good at Kungfu? Yet you just rolled like a stone. It’s a good thing that all the servants were far away. Otherwise, you’ll be ashamed!”
Jiang Yashuang held her waist to help her stand up. Hearing this, he also laughed, “If I wasn’t worried that you might fell into the lake, I wouldn’t be like this. If someone actually saw it, who do you think will be more ashamed?”
“I said it’s you!” Qiu Yelan pushed against the bush underneath him. Yet as she was pushing, the bush collapsed. She fell right back into Jiang Yashuang’s arm, “This grass is too thick!”
It was summer. Her clothes were thin. Jiang Yashuang was a youth of hot blood. Their skins were touching each other when they fell down. He already felt thirsty. He only suppressed his eagerness because Qiu Yelan was calm.
Seeing she stood up, he was disappointed and also relieved. Now she fell into his arms again. Her face was so close to his. There was a bit of sweat on her face. And because of the season, she was blushing. She looked so gorgeous!
Out of nowhere, Jiang Yashuang moved his arm up from her waist. He held her long neck, raised his head up, and kissed her!
Qiu Yelan was caught off guard. She wanted to say something, yet he had occupied her mouth. She then tried to push him. Jiang Yashuang simply turned over and pressed on her body. After a while, he released her with heavy breathing. Seeing how Qiu Yelan stared at him with a straight face, he was embarrassed. He then said with some confidence, “We… We are engaged!”
“So, you can do whatever you want?” Qiu Yelan stared at him coldly, “Who do you think I am?”
Jiang Yashuang said carefully, “I just thought… You were so beautiful… So I…”
“So, I was beautiful just now, and not at other times?” He was hoping anxiously that Qiu Yelan was not serious. Yet Qiu Yelan who looked so indifferent and ready to break up with him last minute suddenly smiled. She held his face and said charmingly, “You want to try that again?”
Jiang Yashuang was dazed. He secretly relaxed. He held her waist excitedly and smiled, “Yeah. I was wrong. You are always so beautiful.”
“I am. But you still can’t do whatever you want!” Qiu Yelan changed her attitude as fast as turning a book page. She suddenly pinched his ears and said angrily, “Do you dare do this next time?”
“Of course!” Jiang Yashuang squinted his eyes. He gently pressed on her waist. Qiu Yelan just felt like she lost all her strength. She couldn’t help but fell down. She looked at Jiang Yashuang catching her. He smiled, “I know you’re not that easy to talk to. But you tried to fight with me? Ha, silly girl. Do you think you are your brother? Even if you were him, you would be close to my level. If he wants to win me, it’s really still up to me.”
Qiu Yelan struggled, but she still couldn’t use any strength. She suddenly cried, “You’d rather let my brother win and not me! Fine! Fine! I know now. You actually like my brother, not me, don’t you? You engaged with me so you can see my brother more often, right? You liar! I hate you!!!”
“…” Jiang Yashuang thought he wouldn’t be afraid of any challenge anymore after listening to her bold words in these two years. But now looking at the tearful Qiu Yelan, he still felt small and helpless, “What are you saying?”
“Aren’t I correct? You said it yourself. You let my bother beat you up and you never fought back!” Qiu Yelan said sadly, “I only wanted to twist your ears. And you… I was fooled! What’s the meaning of life!”
She was acting full-heartedly and was having fun. But God probably couldn’t see it anymore. They heard the servants calling them, “Young master, Your Grace, where are you?”
“We are here!” Even though what she said almost destroyed Jiang Yashuang’s mind, but he wasn’t tortured for nothing in these years. Before the servants finished calling, he rolled his eyes and suddenly carried her up. He said loudly, “She accidentally twisted her ankle.”
Qiu Yelan who was about to pinch him saw the bodyguard come out of the woods, so she gave it up disappointedly. But then she said while gritting her teeth, “That’s right! So I can’t enjoy the lake anymore! I need to go back! In case my brother worries!
She intentionally emphasized the word “brother”!
Jiang Yashuang felt like being stabbed. He carried her up the bank and asked quietly, “Are we really going back? You haven’t picked the lotus flower.”
“The flowers all look the same. We can just pick some random ones. Besides, you are the one who said I twisted my ankle. It’s logical to go back.” When no one was looking, Qiu Yelan pinched a few more times on his chest. Jiang Yashuang painfully hissed. He warned her, “If you bully me again, I’ll roll down the bank again after we get up. I promise it would be just like this time!”
His ill-intentioned look passed through her lips.
Qiu Yelan gritted her teeth, “How dare you?”
Jiang Yashuang suddenly slightly let go of his hands. Qiu Yelan who stayed vigilant immediately screamed. She held his neck with all her strength. It scared everyone around them!
Then she immediately realized that she was played!
Because he just weighed her. He didn’t even stop walking. Only now did Qiu Yelan realize that they hadn’t even got on the bank!
“You think this is fun?!” Qiu Yelan breathed deeply again and again. She pulled his clothes and said word by word, “From today, when we get back, till the end of this summer, I’m not going out with you again!”
“I was wrong!” Hearing this, Jiang Yashuang twitched his mouth and lowered his head helplessly.
“Too late!” Qiu Yelan smiled coldly, “From now on, you just study. You’ll never see me again! I won’t come even if your sister asks!”
Jiang Yashuang begged, “I’m so sorry. Do you want to keep pitching?”
“Bah, who wants to pinch you!” Qiu Yelan turned her head around and smiled coldly, “Don’t you like taking advantage of me? Twisted my ankle… You just want to hold me! I’ll never see you again. Let’s see how you can take my advantage!”
“What? No.” Jiang Yashuang looked righteous, “I’m holding you because I don’t want you to walk in such a hot day.”
“You know it’s hot and you’re still holding me?!” Qiu Yelan said angrily, “Don’t you know it’s hotter!”
They argued all the way and finally got on the bank.
The wind blew from the lake. Feeling refreshed, Qiu Yelan was about to continue, but she suddenly saw some bodyguards surrounding a man in green clothes walking towards them. She frowned. She didn’t have time to fight with Jiang Yashuang and just asked, “Why is he here?”
Jiang Yashuang was looking at Kuang Qingwu who was walking towards them. He was also confused. Before Kuang Qingwu went to them, he quietly asked his servants, “When did he come?”
“When you and Your Grace fell, we called you and chased after you. Then we saw him coming out of the lotus leaves in a boat. He asked what happened and said he would help.” The servants quickly explained.
“Put me now. This doesn’t look good!” Qiu Yelan patted on Jiang Yashuang’s shoulder. She said quietly, “I want to punch him when I see him. Just make him go away!”
“I know.” Jiang Yashuang put her down. But to cover up the lie he said about her twisted ankle, he still held her and had her leaning on him. He said quietly, “I’ll punch him for you if we have a chance later.”
