Chapter 641 I will never cross the line.
Sheng Junyi looked at Sheng Yunjiao with a leisurely air.
Sheng Yunjiao's face twisted in pain. No, why? How does he know everything? Huh?
In just that short time, although I didn't pay attention to what Yangyang said to him, there was no way he could have told him this. How did he know?
How did this person manage to be so insane?
Do you sleep under someone's bed every day?
Sheng Yunjiao picked at her fingers, racking her brains to think.
Sheng Junyi picked up her teacup, and seeing that she still hadn't moved, asked, "Have you figured out how to make this up?"
"No, I mean, Second Brother, are you always so free?" Sheng Yunjiao muttered, "I've never seen you so nosy before!"
"Unfortunately, I was out on business a few days ago and passed through Huazhou City. I made a special trip to see my second uncle and aunt. Ever since they learned that you were planning to go out and make your way in the world, they've been quite worried about you. They specifically told me to give you a good talking-to if I saw you." Sheng Junyi smiled. "So, I still have to inquire about this matter. Be honest, you don't think that just because you went out for a trip, you've really started acting like some kind of chivalrous heroine, becoming unrestrained by worldly matters, do you?"
Sheng Yun stomped her foot in a spoiled manner, "Second brother, how can you be so annoying? I'll tell you, okay? I... I like him! I know my limits, don't worry. I swear, before we get engaged and married, I will never cross the line."
Sheng Junyi: "...You've thought quite far ahead. Your storybooks weren't written in vain."
Sheng Yunjiao then realized what she had said and glared at Sheng Junyi in annoyance.
Sheng Junyi stood up, walked over to her, and shook her head: "Xiao Si, I'm just worried you'll get taken advantage of, so I'm reminding you. In the future, you should read more serious stories, okay?"
After saying that, he gently flicked her forehead with his fingertip and walked away leisurely.
Sheng Yunjiao covered her face. She was too ashamed to face anyone. What had she said? What was all this talk about "red lines"? She really didn't mean it that way!
……
Lu Yangyang pulled Wen Qingqing away from the backyard and asked the shop's servants to prepare a carriage for them to take them to the largest pharmacy in Jinzhou City.
Wen Qingqing asked, puzzled, "What are we going to the pharmacy for? Didn't we say we were going to see Uncle?"
“He’s definitely at the pharmacy,” Lu Yangyang said with absolute certainty.
"How did you know?" As soon as they entered the city, her uncle disappeared in a flash, letting her go without a trace. Back when they were still in Medicine God Valley, her grandfather had mentioned that her uncle had always been an unruly child, not even as reliable as the dog he kept.
“I’m just guessing,” Lu Yangyang explained. “A-Que runs a pharmacy in the capital called Renxintang. It’s the largest pharmacy in the capital. I first met Master there. The southwest is rich in medicinal herbs. I asked the manager of Renxintang, and he said that most of Renxintang’s herbs are transported from the southwest. So there must be medicinal fields in the southwest that are exclusively supplied to Renxintang. Jinzhou City is the largest prefecture city in the surrounding counties, so Renxintang must have opened there. Master used to travel all over the world practicing medicine. With his stingy nature, he would probably starve to death if he went out to practice medicine. So, guess where he would go if he ran out of money?”
Wen Qingqing understood: "Go to Renxintang?"
“That’s right, so we’ll definitely find him if we go to Renxintang,” Lu Yangyang said.
Wen Qingqing gave a thumbs up: "Impressive! Years ago, when our senior brothers and sisters went on their travels, they always said that if they saw their uncle, they would definitely send a message back. It's a pity that no one has seen him for more than ten years! You truly deserve to be his disciple!"
As they were talking, the carriage stopped outside Renxintang. Lu Yangyang lifted the curtain, saw the three characters "Renxintang", and pulled Wen Qingqing to jump off the carriage.
This is the busiest time of the afternoon at Renxintang, with people even queuing at the entrance.
Just as Lu Yangyang was about to enter, she heard a voice behind her, "Yangyang?"
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Yangyang quickly turned around and saw Zong Que getting off the carriage.
Lu Yangyang's eyes lit up, and she quickly walked up to him, asking in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Zong Que raised his fingertips to brush aside the strands of her wind-blown hair and replied gently, "I came to find you."
"Looking for me?" Lu Yangyang asked in surprise.
Zong Que smiled faintly: "I didn't know when you would return, so I had people keep an eye on Renxintang and Tiancheng Trading Company. Renxintang is closer, so when I received the news, I came over to take a look first."
Lu Yangyang felt a warmth in her heart, but also a little embarrassed. "I went to Tiancheng Trading Company to see my second brother first, and learned that the crisis in Miao territory had been resolved, so I came to Renxin Hall to find my master. I didn't know where you were, so..."
She was only thinking about getting the medicine ready as quickly as possible, and didn't really intend to see him right away, but he was constantly keeping tabs on her. This feeling was a bit strange for Lu Yangyang; it was as if she had never clearly sensed before that someone cared about her so much, that even though he had so many things to do, he still came to see her as soon as possible.
"Ahem," Wen Qingqing coughed lightly. Lu Yangyang turned her head away, and Wen Qingqing winked at her: "Then I'll go find my uncle first. You two can chat slowly, no rush!"
Lu Yangyang quickly reminded her, "Don't forget the important things!"
Wen Qingqing shook her head: "Don't worry, I won't forget. I'll have someone ask about it later."
Then he turned around and went into Renxintang.
Zong Que grabbed Lu Yangyang's hand: "You've had a long journey. Come back with me first to pack up before coming over. I asked the cook to make some snacks here, and I'll have someone send some over later."
Lu Yangyang was about to say she didn't need it, but when she turned and met Zong Que's eyes, she suddenly felt a little reluctant. He knew she was back and came to find her as soon as possible. If she refused, he would probably be disappointed, right?
They are now, as Qingqing said, dating, right?
I forgot to ask him carefully how to conduct this relationship. Or should I go back with him first?
Lu Yangyang swallowed her refusal and nodded at Zong Que.
Zong Que took her hand and pulled her over the carriage.
Lu Yangyang lowered her eyes to look at their clasped hands and suddenly felt her heart beating a little fast. It seemed that every time she got close to him or had contact like this, she would have a little strange feeling. Could this feeling be the feeling of being in love?
Nervous? Heart fluttering? And a little hot?
Lost in thought, Lu Yangyang accidentally bumped her face against Zong Que. Zong Que quickly raised his hand, touched her forehead, and asked with a gentle smile, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?"
Lu Yangyang opened her eyes wide and looked at Zong Que's face so close to hers, his eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to drown her. Her lips suddenly felt dry.
Lu Yangyang beckoned with her finger, "Get in the carriage first."
Zong Que held her hand and led her into the carriage. Lu Yangyang hooked her fingers around Zong Que's collar, gently pulled him closer, and leaned in to press her lips against his.
