Gu Liancheng still could not believe it.
However, when she saw everyone fishing out the hot tapioca from the pot and eating it happily in front of her, she could not help but believe it.
It was possible for one person to lie to her, but there were so many of them. It was impossible for all of them to be seeking death.
Gu Liancheng looked in Bai Wutong’s direction in a daze. There was only a little hope remained in her heart. What if the tapioca that Bai Wutong ate was poisonous!
Gu Liancheng grabbed the corner of her skirt nervously. At this moment, even her hunger seemed to have been forgotten.
The scenery here was too good. Bai Wutong sat down, took out her drawing board, and carefully sketched the scene of Stinky and Xiaobai playing happily in the wilderness.
Stinky grabbed Xiaobai’s big tail and smiled like a fleshy flower.
Xiaobai opened its mouth in pain and flew up exaggeratedly.
It was a vivid painting. Anyone who saw it would be healed by the child and wolf.
Bai Wutong finished coloring the painting with solid paint and smiled in satisfaction. Just as she was about to ask Chu Tianbao for his opinion, a beautiful bouquet of wildflowers appeared in front of her.
Chu Tianbao’s handsome facial features stood against the light. His deep black eyes reflected her smile. In an instant, it was another beautiful scene suited for painting.
Qin Xiao, who was a drawing fanatic, had his eyes lit up. He immediately tore off the painting he was drawing and quickly outlined the image of Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong was surprised and happy to suddenly see such a big bouquet of wild flowers. ‘When did you pick them?”
She clearly felt that Chu Tianbao had always been behind her.
Chu Tianbao stuck a flower in her ear. “Just now. ‘
Bai Wutong stroked the flowers on her ears and smiled like a flower. Thinking about it, it made sense. With Chu Tianbao’s skills, it would be easy for him to pick the flowers without any sound.
Bai Wutong held his hand and drew a heart in his palm. ‘Thank you. I like it very much. ‘
Chu Tianbao understood what heart meant and drew a heart in Bai Wutong’s hand. “You’re welcome.”
His words were clearly out of politeness, but it unintentionally showed off their affections.
Lin Yue stood behind and shook his head. Even the dogs would shake their heads when they saw this.
His Qingfeng was still the best. She was low-key, cold, and reserved. He would ask her for a kiss later.
When Stinky saw that Bai Wutong was wearing a flower on her head, he also picked one and handed it to his father. He even said in a childish voice, “Auntie likes flowers too.”
After Sheng Huaixuan and Cui Lingyi expressed their feelings for each other , their relationship became much closer. Everyone tacitly knew about their relationship. When they arrived at Baye City, there was a high chance that Sheng Huaixuan would propose marriage to Cui Lingyi.
Sheng Huaixuan stroked his son’s head. ‘Thank you.”
Stinky raised his little chin proudly and even urged him to go quickly.
Sheng Huaixuan was helpless. This child was really mischievous.
However, when he thought of how happy Cui Lingyi would be when she had received the flowers, he couldn’t help but smile gently. He bent down and picked a handful of colorful flowers around him.
Cui Lingyi saw him walking towards her with the flowers. She lowered her eyes shyly, feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
Sheng Huaixuan handed her a flower and specially said, “This is for you from Stinky.
Cui Lingyi’s eyes lit up. She looked at Stinky and Xiaobai, who were hiding in the bushes and observing secretly. They still thought that they would not be discovered. She smiled gently. “Thank you.”
After giving one flower, Sheng Huaixuan still had a bunch in his hand.
The two of them glanced at the beautiful flowers. The moment their gazes collided in the air, the surrounding air seemed to heat up.
Stinky widened his eyes, and so did Xiaobai. Sheng Huaixuan and Cui Lingyi glanced at them from the corner of their eyes and could not help but laugh.
Sheng Huaixuan brought the flowers in front of her, his gentle eyes filled with joy. “This is from me.”
His love was not as intense as Chu Tianbao’s, but it was as moist and silent as spring ram.
At some point, Cui Lingyi had already developed a good impression of him and their relationship had naturally come this far.
She accepted the bouquet and smiled brightly. ‘Thank you.”
Sheng Huaixuan was stunned for a moment before saying gently, “As long as you like it.”
Beside Stinky and Xiaobai’s bushes, there were two pairs of eyes that were hiding deeper.
Cui Muzhi grabbed Lan Jingbai’s sleeve excitedly. “Oh, oh, oh, oh, this is love!!!’
‘Where is my love!!!”
He had cried out a few times, but Lan Jingbai did not respond. He did not even make a sound.
Cui Muzhi was really angry. Could it be that Lan Jingbai had a partner behind his back?
He turned around and wanted to teach Lan Jingbai a lesson to not forget his buddy when he had someone he liked. Suddenly, he met Lan Jingbai’s deep gaze.
It was as deep as a pool of water that could not be seen clearly. It was complicated and mysterious, attracting people to fall into it. Cui Muzhi was stunned and asked foolishly, “...What’s wrong?”
‘Is there something on his face?’
He looked as silly as a dog.
Lan Jingbai suddenly retracted his gaze and said, “If you want love, you can get
Madam to arrange a marriage for you when you reach Baye.”
He thought it would be easy to say this, but it was harder than he had imagined. It was as if there was a huge rock pressing down on his chest and he could not breathe.
Cui Muzhi’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You want me to be engaged?”
Lan Jingbai hesitated for a moment. “No, if you want to.”
Cui Muzhi pursed his lips and looked at him unhappily. “You’re not even engaged. Why should I be engaged?”
Wasn’t it good for him to have his buddy? It was so boring to get married and he would be controlled by another person.
Although he would be controlled by Lan Jingbai, he was already used to it. So be it. Anyway, he would have a way to deal with it.
Lan Jingbai was silent for a long time. “I won’t be engaged. Not in this lifetime.”
Cui Muzhi was stunned and his imagination ran wild. “No way? Do you want to become a monk?” Or was it because he had watched too many people being affectionate and was agitated?
Lan Jingbai looked at the innocent Cui Muzhi, not knowing if he really didn’t understand or if he was pretending not to. “No, I’ll always be your guard.”
It was clearly an ordinary sentence between good brothers. The moment Cui Muzhi heard it, his heart beat violently and his face turned red.
He stiffened his neck, not knowing what to say at this moment so that he wouldn’t appear inexperienced.
Lan Jingbai suddenly stood up. “Old Master called us for dinner.”
Cui Muzhi looked over in surprise and subconsciously held his hand. When he met Lan Jingbai’s confused gaze, he mustered his courage and said, “I don’t want to get married in my life.”
While Lan Jingbai was surprised, Cui Muzhi had already fled like a frightened rabbit.
Looking at his back as he flew away like the wind, Lan Jingbai suppressed the intense throbbing in his heart. He quickly chased after him with his sword and said behind him, “Slow down.”
Until dark, Gu Liancheng’s remaining hope did not appear.
Bai Wutong flirted with Chu Tianbao energetically, but she could only endure the insects’ bites on the ground on an empty stomach.
Lu Ye already fell asleep from her stomach growl. Gu Liancheng wanted to kick him awake, but suddenly, a woman appeared behind her. She opened her hand and handed her a lump of dry rations.
Meng Weiwei lowered her voice slightly and looked around. “Miss, you can eat this..”
