Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob
Chapter 417: Brother's Fiancee vs. Twin Brothers (8)
On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Chu Xiaoyun stayed by Yin Qian's side all the time, watching her complete all the ceremonies, and then took out the carefully selected gift when they were alone.
"I found this specially as a gift for you. Do you like it?"
Yin Qian took the palm-sized wooden box, opened it, and immediately shouted in surprise:
"so beautiful!"
Placed in the wooden box was a pair of luxurious and exquisite armlets, dotted with colorful jewels in the dazzling golden light, which were obviously worth a fortune.
There was love in Yin Qian's eyes. In fact, no girl who loves beauty would not like such beautiful accessories.
But she was a little afraid to accept such a precious gift, and reluctantly pushed it back:
"Sister Yun, this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Chu Xiaoyun held her hand tightly around the wooden box and said:
"Today you are the most valuable, there is nothing you cannot accept."
As she spoke, fearing that Yin Qian would refuse again, she bit her lower lip and said shyly:
"I still need your help with something. If you don't accept it, I won't dare to ask for help later."
Yin Qian happily accepted the gift, patted her chest, and said cheerfully:
"Sister Yun, as long as you ask, I will help you and I will never refuse."
Chu Xiaoyun hesitated for a while, took out a sachet embroidered with emerald green bamboo, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Last time, Brother Yunjin brought me a hairpin from Pingyang City. I wanted to return the favor, so I embroidered this sachet. Can you give it to him for me?"
Yin Qian was about to say no problem, but she rolled her eyes and chuckled twice:
"Sister Yun, I can't help you with this."
"It would be better if you personally delivered such a gift."
"If my cousin knew that my future cousin's wife had already arrived at the mansion, and that the return gift had to go through my hands, he would definitely be sad."
Chu Xiaoyun was so overwhelmed by the teasing of "future cousin-in-law" that her ears were suddenly lit up, and even her fair cheeks turned pink like peach petals, making her look shy and timid, and stunningly beautiful.
Yin Qian looked at Chu Xiaoyun like this and immediately had an idea.
She held Chu Xiaoyun's wrist, jogged all the way, and soon arrived at Meng Wenjin's yard.
The guard at the door saw the cousin in front and wanted to stop them, but when he saw Chu Xiaoyun from behind, he stepped back.
"Cousin, cousin, look who's here."
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Chu Xiaoyun wanted to go back, but Yin Qian quickly pulled her hand and pushed her inside, shouting loudly.
When they entered the yard, the person who was called out by Yin Qian's voice was not Meng Wenjin, but a tall man in a sky-blue gown.
When I got closer, I found that it was Que Yu who was with Meng Wenjin last time.
When he saw Chu Xiaoyun's figure, his eyes changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Miss Chu, cousin. The young master has gone to the Marquis's place and I don't know when he will be back."
Que Yu originally wanted to take everyone to the reception room to sit down, but was stopped by Chu Xiaoyun.
"If Brother Wenjin isn't here, let's not go into the house. Qianqian, why don't we go back first and do it next time, or you can just pass it on for me."
Chu Xiaoyun wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yin Qian again.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we don't go to the living room. We can just wait for our cousin here."
Yin Qian pulled Chu Xiaoyun to sit down at the stone table in the yard, and then instructed Que Yu:
"Go and prepare some refreshments, then go and tell my brother that Sister Yun is here. I'm sure he'll be back soon."
Que Yu went to the small kitchen as instructed and soon came back with tea and pastries.
The tea was the newly-delivered Rain-After Longjing tea this year, and the pastry looked familiar; it was Chu Xiaoyun’s favorite chestnut lotus seed paste pastry.
When Chu Xiaoyun saw this, she couldn't help but curl her lips, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth to taste.
Beside her, Que Yu naturally took out a teacup and poured her a cup of hot tea that was seven-tenths full.
After tasting a piece of cake, Chu Xiaoyun felt thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and put it to her lips.
With a sip, the tea of just the right temperature dispels the thirst in your mouth.
For some reason, Chu Xiaoyun raised her head and looked at Que Yu several times.
She still felt that he looked somewhat familiar, and, compared to last time, that familiar feeling seemed to be more present.
The small gesture of pouring tea for her, the way he unconsciously straightened his back while standing, the drooping eyebrows,...
Small details like these are all very familiar, just like - just like a replica of Brother Wen Jin.
The two people look very different, which makes it easy to overlook the similarities.
Chu Xiaoyun finally figured out her previous doubts, but soon she had new confusions:
Why is his temperament becoming more and more like Brother Wen Jin?
Is this what it means when you spend more time with someone, you become more and more like them?
Although these similarities were a bit strange, they were not really a big deal. Chu Xiaoyun couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.
After pouring tea for Chu Xiaoyun and Yin Qian, Que Yu followed Yin Qian's instructions and left the yard to look for Meng Wenjin.
In less than a quarter of an hour, two hurried footsteps entered the yard.
"Is Sister Xiaoyun here?"
Before they stepped into the yard, they heard Meng Wenjin's voice.
Yin Qian laughed strangely twice and silently imitated Chu Xiaoyun: "Is sister Xiaoyun here?"
After learning, she felt goose bumps all over her body.
I never thought that my cousin, who is known as a gentleman by the outside world, has such a disgusting side.
Chu Xiaoyun was used to being teased, so her face just blushed symbolically and then she calmed down.
Yin Qian found it boring, and besides, she didn't want to disturb the lovers' meeting.
When Meng Wenjin entered the yard, she immediately stood up, ran to him and said:
"Cousin, my future cousin's wife said she has a gift for you. If you have anything to say, just talk to yourselves. I won't get involved."
She finished her words quickly and hurried out of the yard.
It took Meng Wenjin a while to understand Yin Qian's words, and the expression on his face softened visibly.
"Cheng Feng, don't follow me. Just stand outside the yard and come in when I call you."
He was not worried about the servants leaking the secret, but he wanted to have a space to be alone with Chu Xiaoyun.
Que Yu nodded his head, frowning when no one noticed.
After Que Yu left, Meng Wenjin quickened his pace, walked up to Chu Xiaoyun, and asked:
"What gift do you want to give me?"
People who are always well-mannered now seem a little anxious and expectant.
Chu Xiaoyun was originally nervous, but seeing him like this, she felt much more relaxed and took out the sachet and gave it to him.
"This is the sachet I made as a return gift for the hairpin you gave me last time. Do you like it?"
Meng Wenjin took the sachet and quickly took down the new sachet that had just been hung up today and replaced it with the one made by Chu Xiaoyun.
"I love so much."
After giving the gift, Chu Xiaoyun should have left.
But I hadn't seen him for a long time and missed him a lot, so at Meng Wenjin's invitation, I sat down and chatted with him casually.
