Two months have passed since the incident at the Rain Inn, but Mei Yuanchen has never taken it to heart. In his opinion, he was the one who offended others in the first place, so he deserved to be slapped, and he didn't feel aggrieved at all. Unexpectedly, Yi Qingxin wrote a letter to apologize for this incident. The letter was sincerely worded and even invited him to the branch of Yufeng Escort Agency in the capital. "That day at the Yingying Inn, Brother Yi asked her to apologize, but she refused. Why did she change her temper today? Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore. According to the semicolon of Yufeng Escort Agency written in her letter, it is only four kilometers away from here. Five miles away, let’s go there now.” Mei Yuanchen packed the letter and put it in his sleeve pocket while muttering softly.
In the pavilion, Xia Chengyi was looking away at the other side. Although he couldn't see her expression, Mei Yuanchen knew that her face was probably not good, so he quickly walked over, sat down on the stone bench nearby, and asked softly: " Yiyi, are you bored at home? Follow me out later. After visiting an elder, I will accompany you to the market, okay?"
Xia Chengyi's eyes shone, the corners of his mouth raised like crescent moons, and he asked with a smile: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" Mei Yuanchen held her hand and replied warmly.
"Humph! You said you're not lying to me. The palace guards have reported it. The guard who delivered the letter is a beautiful girl. Who is the senior? You are so bad. You are trying to prevaricate me!" Xia Chengyi smiled softly and sweetly. , suddenly remembered what the guard had just reported, his face suddenly changed, and now he was anxious and angry, and a pair of catkins had already taken advantage of the situation and pinched Mei Yuanchen's wrist hard.
Mei Yuanchen did not dare to avoid it, so he let her pinch him and hurriedly explained: "Good Yiyi, you misunderstood. The elder I said I wanted to visit is Mr. Yi, the head of Yufeng Escort Bureau, who is very famous in the world. Senior, the girl who delivered the letter is his granddaughter. We had some misunderstandings before. I think Senior Yi knew about it and deliberately asked her to deliver the letter. Hey, look at this letter!" He reached out to take the letter from his sleeve pocket. When I came out, my wrist was pinched, but it was really inconvenient.
After hearing this, Xia Chengyi relaxed his grip, lowered his head and chuckled, saying apologetically: "Brother Yuanchen, I'm sorry, I pinched you again. Does your wrist hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt at all." Seeing that she no longer doubted him, Mei Yuanchen was too late to be happy. How could he care whether his hand was not itchy or not?
Xia Chengyi knew that he had used quite a lot of force on his hand just now, and felt secretly ashamed in his heart. He gently reached out to lift up his right sleeve, and saw two deep red marks on the inside of his wrist. He felt even more ashamed and raised his hand. At first, he said pitifully: "Brother Yuanchen, I promised not to pinch you, but now I have broken my promise, so you can punish me."
Mei Yuanchen tilted his head and said with a smile: "Okay, close your eyes, I'm going to punish you!"
"No, you look weird." Xia Chengyi frowned, pushed him away, and feigned anger: "You must be trying to take advantage of me while I have my eyes closed. I won't fall for your trick!" She was more than unruly. , is also very smart, and he guessed what Mei Yuanchen was thinking after a second thought.
The ruse was exposed, and Mei Yuanchen could only laugh.
He was smiling when suddenly there was a brief warmth on his face, but it was Xia Chengyi who came over and pecked his left cheek. After the kiss, she carried the food box and walked out to the corridor. She said with a smile: "You should go quickly! I will wait for you in the pavilion to accompany me to the market." After saying this, she left like a butterfly.
Yi Qingxin sat in the pavilion closest to the escort gate, feeling as if a deer had struck her.
"Will he come? Prince Jaw's Mansion is only five miles away from here. I think he will be here soon?"
"Oh, I was fine just now, but why am I feeling dizzy all of a sudden? I can't think of anything else. If I had known this, I should have asked Sister Yun to accompany me."
While Yi Qingxin was thinking about it, a bodyguard came over, clasped his fists and said, "Miss, there is Mr. Mei outside the door. He said he is here to visit the chief bodyguard, the third young master, and young lady. Do you want to invite him in?"
"Ah, he's here!" Yi Qingxin stood up and walked to the door. In the middle of the journey, he hurried back and said to the escort: "Please invite him to the side hall." After saying that, he went to the side hall first.
"After traveling so much, I wonder if the newly combed Suiyun bun is loose? The 'Que Tianmen' in this pot is old tea, and it has been passed through two layers of water. Is it too bland? I don't know if he drinks it. I'm not used to drinking." Knowing that Mei Yuanchen was about to come, Yi Qingxin seemed a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Miss Yi, long time no see!" Mei Yuanchen called with a smile from outside the side hall. The escort led him outside the side hall and left. Yi Qingxin stood in front of the tea table with her back to the outside, as if she was pouring tea. He couldn't just come in without being invited by the master.
Hearing this voice again after two months, Yi Qingxin couldn't suppress her joy. With a shake of her hand, she poured the tea on the table. At this moment, she didn't care about the tea, and hurriedly turned around to greet him. She smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Mei, please come in."
Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but be startled when he saw the soft smile on her face, and thought to himself: "When did Miss Yi become so gentle? Why isn't Senior Yi here?"
The two of them sat down at the guest seat at the tea table. Yi Qingxin lowered her head and played with her cuffs with her hands. Occasionally she secretly raised her head to look at Mei Yuanchen, her face slowly turning rosy. But she suddenly screamed "Ah" and said angrily: "Mr. Mei, please drink tea!" She had poured a cup of tea at the guest seat, but she had forgotten to invite Mei Yuanchen to drink it.
Mei Yuanchen had been sitting quietly, not daring to look sideways, but felt Yi Qingxin looking at her several times, feeling something indescribable in her heart. Hearing her voice suddenly, he was a little surprised. He hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, "Miss Yi, you're welcome."
Seeing his hurried look, Yi Qingxin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Mei Yuanchen also felt that he was too restrained and started laughing. For a time, the atmosphere in the hall became lively.
"Are you thirsty? Have some tea!" Yi Qingxin said with a smile: "I don't often make tea, so you can just drink some." She took a rag from under the tea table and wiped the tea on the table. There were no maids in the escort agency, so everything had to be done by herself, but she was content with it.
Mei Yuanchen had never seen Yi Qingxin smile during the previous meetings. Now that he saw her smiling frequently, he actually felt something strange in his heart.
"Are you still used to drinking this 'Que Tianmen'?" Seeing that he had already drank tea, Yi Qingxin asked with a smile.
Mei Yuanchen glanced sideways at her, and felt that her eyes were filled with hope and joy, and her heart trembled. She quickly turned around and replied: "Haha, I have never been particular about drinking tea. But this tea is sweet and soothes my throat. , it tastes really good.”
"Really? That's great!" Yi Qingxin received this compliment, and her face became more and more happy.
