The female supporting role is really here to mess things up
Chapter 23 1 Tossing Pots
When Lu Qingxi arrived at the teahouse, Xiao Yuebai had been waiting there for almost an hour. Seeing his beloved appear as expected, Xiao Yuebai was overwhelmed with joy.
After asking and learning that the other party did not take a sedan chair, but walked here like the last time, he was even happier. Xiao Yuebai took the opportunity to suggest that they go together in a carriage, and Lu Qingxi agreed.
What Lu Qingxi didn't know was that this was specially arranged by Xiao Yuebai...
Yesterday, Wuhen asked his prince whether he wanted to prepare a sedan chair for Miss Li, but his prince told him to prepare a larger carriage and more food that women like, which must look exquisite and taste delicious.
The car was already filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries. When Lu Qingxi got on the car, she saw the colorful and variously shaped pastries, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She picked up a piece of chestnut cake and took a bite. The sweet but not greasy taste made her eat a few more bites.
Xiao Yuebai observed silently from the side, secretly taking note of her preferences, and decided to prepare more chestnut cakes to please her in the future.
The carriage slowly drove to the western suburbs. The scenery along the way was picturesque and refreshing. Xiao Yuebai got off the carriage first and stood aside waiting for Lu Qingxi. When he saw Lu Qingxi stretching out her slender hand and waiting for the maid to help her, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. His hand gently stroked behind his back, as if to calm his excitement.
When Lu Qingxi got off the carriage, he saw a lively scene. Many couples had appeared by the river, admiring the flowers or playing, enjoying the warm spring sun.
She was wearing a veil that was much thinner than the last time they met. The wind blew, revealing half of her face, which was quickly covered by the veil. Her bright eyes were particularly spirited, adding a bit of mystery to her beauty. Xiao Yuebai looked at her, and his heart was throbbing.
The two walked side by side, tripping over stones on the road from time to time. Lu Qingxi was only focused on enjoying the scenery and didn't notice it; while Xiao Yuebai was always paying attention to her safety, fearing that she would make a mistake. Xiaohuan, as Lu Qingxi's maid, consciously stepped aside to leave the two of them alone. She looked at the scene of her young lady and Mr. Gu together, and her heart couldn't help but ripple.
As they walked, Xiao Yuebai and Lu Qingxi came to an open grassland, with several bronze pitching pots placed in the distance. The sun shone obliquely on the grassland, adding a bit of elegance to the venue.
"Wanqing, how about we try the game of pitching pot?" Xiao Yuebai suggested, with anticipation in his eyes.
Lu Qingxi nodded, full of curiosity about the ancient game of pitching pots. She walked to the pitching pot and looked at it carefully. Thinking that although she had never played the game, she had played with many dolls, she felt more confident. Xiao Yuebai picked up a few bamboo arrows from the side and handed one to Lu Qingxi.
Lu Qingxi took the bamboo arrow, took a deep breath, and prepared to throw it. She aimed at the mouth of the pot and threw the bamboo arrow with force. The bamboo arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air and finally fell steadily into the pot.
"Good!" Xiao Yuebai applauded and praised, with an appreciative smile on his face.
Next, it was Xiao Yuebai's turn to throw. He picked up a bamboo arrow and threw it with ease. The bamboo arrow spun in the air and landed accurately in the pot.
After a few rounds, the two's pitching skills gradually improved. When Lu Qingxi was throwing, Xiao Yuebai would stand beside her, gently holding her arms to help her stabilize her posture. Their arms would occasionally touch slightly, but neither of them cared and only focused on the game itself.
As the game progressed, the relationship between the two became closer. During one throw, Lu Qingxi's bamboo arrow deviated from the direction and did not fall into the pot. She lowered her head in annoyance, but Xiao Yuebai gently held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, let's try again."
He held Lu Qingxi's hand and guided her to aim at the pot again. This time, Lu Qingxi's bamboo arrow landed steadily in the pot. She jumped up happily and smiled at Xiao Yuebai.
During the game of pitching pots, their hands touched each other many times. Although it was only a brief contact, it was enough to make Xiao Yuebai's heart beat faster. He felt the warmth of Lu Qingxi's palm, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
After the game, the two sat on the grass to rest. Xiao Yuebai looked at Lu Qingxi's profile, his heart full of tenderness. He enjoyed this time alone with his sweetheart.
For Lu Qingxi, this was also an unforgettable day. She experienced the fun of ancient outings and had more contact with her friends.
Xiao Huan stood on the grass not far from the two of them, her eyes sparkling with joy, and she had been silently observing the interaction between Xiao Yuebai and Lu Qingxi. She had long been satisfied and appreciative of this Mr. Gu. In her opinion, Mr. Gu was not only handsome, but also had elegant manners, and treated the young lady with meticulous care. Such a man was undoubtedly a good match for the young lady.
Just as Xiao Huan was lost in her reverie, she noticed that a few beads of sweat seemed to seep out of Lu Qingxi's forehead. She looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. She estimated the time and it was almost noon. At this time, Xiao Yuebai also noticed this and said to Lu Qingxi gently, "It must be almost noon. Wanqing, do you want to go with me for lunch?"
Lu Qingxi smiled and nodded in agreement. She was about to stand up, but she lost her strength and fell to the right. Xiao Yuebai had been paying attention to her movements. Seeing this, he immediately reached out and put his arm around her waist, holding her firmly in his arms.
Seeing this, Xiaohuan, who was not far away, ran over quickly. She looked at the two people hugging each other tightly, her eyes flashing with excitement. She thought this scene was so beautiful, as if even the air around them was filled with sweetness.
After Lu Qingxi stood firm, she wanted to break free from Xiao Yuebai's arms, but she found that he was holding her too tightly and she couldn't push him away. She could only whisper, "Mr. Gu, I've stood firm, you can let me go."
Xiao Yuebai realized his mistake and quickly let go of her hand, his cheeks slightly flushed. He turned sideways, said "I'll go see where the carriage is parked first", and walked quickly in the direction he came from.
As he walked, the hairband tied in his hair jumped in the air, as if telling the inner turmoil of its owner. Although Xiao Yuebai felt embarrassed, he was still worried about Lu Qingxi, and he would always look back from time to time to confirm whether the master and servant had kept up with his steps.
Finally, they reached the carriage. Xiao Yuebai turned around and looked at Lu Qingxi, and the panic in his heart calmed down a little. Lu Qingxi looked at him, and a warm current surged in her heart. She felt that although this friend was sometimes a little clumsy, his sincerity and concern made her feel extremely warm.
She decided not to embarrass Xiao Yuebai anymore, so she let Xiao Huan help her get on the carriage. In the carriage, neither of them spoke. Lu Qingxi was a little tired, so she closed her eyes to rest; while Xiao Yuebai was afraid of being rude again, so he didn't dare to speak rashly when he saw that the other party didn't talk to him. The carriage was silent, with only the sound of the carriage echoing in his ears.
