When they were about to reach Qingxi Village, Jiang Xiaoran was attracted by the beautiful scenery in the mountainous forest.
As the name suggested, there was a clear stream running through the entire Qingxi Village
Although they hadn’t entered the village yet, they could see a stream flowing proficiently through the dense forest at the village entrance.
Under the sunlight, it formed mottled shadows through the green leaves.
The water was crystal clear and emitted a pleasant ding-dong.
With the illumination from the light, there seemed to be dust rolling, as if a little fairy in the mountains would appear at any moment.
Jiang Xiaoran ran to the stream and squatted down to scoop up a handful of clear water.
He took a sip and the aftertaste was sweet.
He immediately wiped his lips with the back of his hand. “What a treasure land!”
Xie Yinxiang walked over and said indifferently, “The water coming down from the mountain is cold. Young Master Jiang, aren’t you afraid of having a stomachache?”
Jiang Xiaoran stood up. Under the sunlight, he smiled elegantly.
“The benevolent like the mountains and the wise like water. I was just brought into an aesthetic mood. Miss Xie, you don’t understand.”
Xie Yinxiang was stunned when she heard this.
The benevolent like the mountains…
Why did he say the same thing as what the young master who she exchanged messages through the lanterns with did?
However, everyone was familiar with this sentence. Perhaps Jiang Xiaoran had it at his fingertips and it was just a coincidence.
She instantly thought it through and muttered, “I indeed don’t understand as much as Young Master Jiang does.”
After saying that, Xie Yinxiang turned around to look for Gu Nuo’er.
The child was picking flowers and plants and skillfully weaving them into a garland.
The moment she completed one, she ran up to Ye Siming.
“Elder Brother Siming, this is for you!”
Gu Nuo’er blinked her watery eyes. Her skin was covered in a thin layer of red under the sunlight, like natural rouge, making her eyebrows look even more lively.
Ye Siming was about to reach out to take it when Qi Jingsheng asked, “What is
Gu Nuo’er said softly, “It’s a garland. This is for Elder Brother Siming. If you play with me, older sister will give you one later.”
“Wow!” Qi Jingsheng’s tone was a little envious. “Older sister is so amazing. Can you let me touch the garland?”
Before Gu Nuo’er could say anything, Ye Siming naturally gave him the garland.
Qi Jingsheng slowly touched the flowers and grass on it.
He liked it very much.
However, Gu Nuo’er watched helplessly and grievance appeared in her black eyes.
She immediately turned around and ran to the stream like a bullied meat bun.
“I don’t want to enter Qingxi Village anymore. I’ll wait for you guys here. Elder Sister Yinxiang and playboy older brother can go!”
Xie Yinxiang quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Nuo’er? We’ve already reached the village entrance.”
Gu Nuo’er squatted down, picked up a stone with her small hand, and threw it into the stream.
“I don’t want to go anymore.”
Her pink face was buried in the crook of her arm, and her soft black hair stuck obediently to her cheek.
It made the child look pitiful.
When Xie Yinxiang and Jiang Xiaoran saw this, they couldn’t possibly force the princess.
She could only nod.
Ye Siming had been standing not far away and looking in the child’s direction with a frown.
When the two of them came over, Ye Siming handed Qi Jingsheng to Jiang Xiaoran.
“You guys go in first. I’ll go see what’s wrong with her.”
By now, Qi Jingsheng had arrived at his house. The uneasiness in his heart had already faded, and he no longer pestered Ye Siming, who could give him a sense of security.
He also nodded obediently. “Benefactor older brother, all of you can come to my house to eat roasted potatoes later!”
Jiang Xiaoran grabbed his small shoulder. “Let’s go.”
Gu Nuo’er threw a small stone into the water.
Her pink lips muttered, “Hmph, I must cut friendship ties with Elder Brother
Siming for two hours!”
