Luo Huaizhou quickly regained his former energy, and along the way he pulled Su Jingqian and talked endlessly about anecdotes about this period. It seemed that the Cold War had long been forgotten by him, and he expressed his sincere love for the two of them. Friendship didn't make the slightest difference. Lin Wanwan was relieved to see them talking and laughing together without any barriers.
After all this fuss, the four girls had no intention of shopping anymore. They said goodbye to Su Jingqian and Luo Huaizhou and headed back home.
The four of them were drinking tea and chatting in Xu Jiaojiao's yard. Lin Wanwan knew that what happened on the street had caused Long Shuang and Yiyi to speculate on her relationship with Su Jingqian. She thought about her excuses and waited. They questioned her, but the two girls and Xu Jiaojiao had a tacit agreement to keep silent about the matter, and only looked at her ambiguously from time to time, which made Lin Wanwan a little bit dumbfounded.
After dinner, the girls went back to the courtyard. As soon as Lin Wanwan returned, she discovered that the usually unpredictable Emperor Jing Ren had sneaked into her yard at some point and was drinking freshly brewed hot tea in front of her tea table with a calm look.
Seeing her return, Su Jingqian glanced at the small celadon jar placed on the table, lazily raised his chin and said, "Apply it to the injured area on your face, and it will be fine tomorrow."
Lin Wanwan opened the jar suspiciously and sniffed the moon-white paste inside. A faint fragrance hit her nostrils, "This is it?"
"The Creamy Jade Dew Cream can relieve pain, heal wounds, and also remove scars and beautify the face."
Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly, closed the lid, thanked her, and then turned around and went to the inner room.
After a while, she was seen carrying out a white porcelain chessboard with some difficulty, and then placed it in the hands of Su Jingqian who was waiting nearby. When Lin Wanwan came out with two chess jars, Su Jing Qian had already placed the chessboard on the tea table, with a cup of hot tea next to it.
Lin Wanwan handed him a jar of chess pieces very naturally, took a sip from the tea cup, and watched leisurely as Su Jingqian opened the lid of the chess jar.
"I go first." Su Jingqian twisted the white pieces in the chess jar and raised his eyebrows at her proudly.
Lin Wanwan frowned and hurriedly opened the chess jar. After seeing the black piece lying quietly inside, a look of disappointment appeared in her eyes, and then she looked at him suspiciously. Is this person cheating? He can get it every time. To Bai Zi?
Su Jingqian put the two white stones on the stars in a funny way and blinked innocently, "You hand the chess jar to me every time, so you can't rely on me."
Lin Wanwan curled her lips in displeasure, cursed a monster in her mind, and then twisted out two sunspots and placed them on the stars.
"When did you know that?" Su Jingqian glanced at her, picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
Lin Wanwan smiled lightly and placed the black spots on her fingertips next to Su Jingqian's white ones, "On the second day of the Double Ninth Festival, when Yiyi accidentally mentioned that there was a woman beside you, I became suspicious. In the next few days, I roughly guessed that you were no longer interested in drinking, but at that time I didn't know what your plans were."
Su Jingqian looked at her with a half-smile, "Are you so sure that I don't really hang around in the flowers?"
Lin Wanwan lowered her eyes and smiled softly. The confidence radiating from her eyebrows made her whole face shine, "The King of Dongchen has always had his eyes set high above his head. Not just any woman can catch your eye. Not to mention... With your identity, you will never act in such a high profile, showing off with different women every day. This behavior is more like you want everyone in Nanling City to know that you, Mr. Su, are willing to come to you."
Su Jingqian stared at her for a moment, with little smiles in his eyes. When Lin Wanwan reminded him of his move, he twisted a white piece again and placed it on the chessboard, and asked: "Then when did you start?" Do you know it was me who set this up?"
"Today. When you said that these one and a half months were spent discussing poetry and writing with Mr. Sun, I was sure that you were setting up a trap. The King of Dongchen was willing to spend one and a half months dealing with a small official. It was definitely not a whim. The previous paragraph Time, you have been contacting different people, just to find someone who can join the game. However, King Dongchen is too charming, and has been messed up a lot by some women who want to get close to you. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you have to start from These women were selected, and Sun Wanning happened to meet the qualifications to join. I guess you are interested in her father's low official position and ambition. So since you started dating Sun Wanning, you no longer accept invitations from other women."
Su Jingqian rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly, "It seems that even if there is no Feihua Order, your Feihua Pavilion will do things for you. No wonder you were so straightforward when you gave it to me that day." Then he seemed to think of something, He couldn't help but curl his lips, shook his head and smiled, "Little fox."
Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows at him, the grace between her eyebrows shimmering with light. When those glass-like eyes looked into the depths of his eyes, they flashed and shone like stars, revealing the cunningness that could see through his thoughts with one glance. .
She pointed to the chess pieces on the chessboard and asked: "I'm very curious, what role can this little official you selected out of thousands of people play in your chess game? And King Dongchen is willing to spend so much time doing this Things, I think there should be more than one purpose."
Lin Wanwan knew Su Jingqian's methods very well, and the chess pieces that allowed him to waste time and effort were not just for achieving a purpose.
Su Jingqian sighed secretly, letting her know him so well that he really didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
He calmly placed a piece on the chessboard, and did not answer her directly, but gave her a slight reminder, "Do you remember Zi Heng beside me? In addition to his outstanding medical skills, he was also trained by Shadow himself. These days, It was he who accompanied me to appreciate poems and lyrics."
Lin Wanwan paused for a moment, her heart suddenly enlightened, and then she smiled calmly: "It seems that you are already confident about this move." She glanced at him with an unclear meaning, and then said, "Although there is no formal agreement with Zi Heng. We’ve met before, but it was probably Long Yang Peak who he led us to see on the night we first arrived in Nanling City.”
"As expected, you know." Su Jingqian curled his lips, and his smile that was as smooth as water was a little bitter. He said helplessly, "If you don't finish singing the play in Blood Clothes Pavilion, how can you be willing to enter Nanling with peace of mind? You Didn't this kitten come all the way to Nanling just to show its claws and scratch me? Rather than letting you fool around alone, I would rather accompany you to fool around with you. Since you insist on singing this play, I can only let him lead you Go, at least he's there to protect you, so you don't have to worry about you not being able to handle it."
Lin Wanwan's eyebrows trembled slightly. When she caught the tenderness in his eyes that had not yet dissipated, a surge of sourness instantly surged up. Her cold heart suddenly felt a little warm. Along with a wave of warmth, the solid ice there seemed to Be melted by this heat.
The look in her eyes became more and more complicated, and her red lips opened and closed, wanting to say something, but some words were like a thorn stuck in her throat, unable to swallow or spit out.
Sure enough, he had known for a long time that he would go to Nanling. Then he should also know that even if he didn't take action, she wouldn't die by Long Yangfeng's sword, let alone follow her ulterior motives to destroy the Blood Clothes Pavilion and make Xi Jing suspicious. Is he... just to make her feel at ease?
Lin Wanwan smiled bitterly. No wonder, when more than a dozen masters besieged Nuan Yan and Yu Su when they did not dare to show their true martial arts skills, they were able to easily kill several people. It turned out that Zi Heng had done something in the dark.
Come to think of it, Zi Shu, Zi Yu, and Zi Heng each possess special skills and are all hidden masters. Just having these three guards around Su Jin is enough to be unmatched, so how could they be restrained by her again and again? Stop.
If she hadn't accidentally recognized Zi Heng a few days ago...she might never have known what Su Jin was thinking.
It turns out that it has never been about whether she can scheme against him, but whether he is willing to let herself scheme against him. The initiative in this game has been in his hands from the beginning. He had always been aware of her plans and calculations, and he was just giving in silently, even cooperating with her wanton mischief, and finally silently cleaning up the mess for her.
