Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

Yun Xi ran over, scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face. Immediately, the heat dissipated a lot and she felt very comfortable.

After a few moves back and forth, I felt extremely satisfied.

She really wanted to take off her shoes and put her feet in the water to cool down, but when she saw other people following her, the thought was only a flash in her mind and she rejected it.

"Brother Yunqi, it turns out you found a stream. I was wondering why you came here."

Zhou Wenli walked straight towards Yunqi and the others.

Yun Qi frowned, but when he saw that he was the only one there, his brows slowly relaxed and he hummed softly.

But his frown relaxed too early, and the next second he saw Zhou Ling also walking towards the stream.

Yunqi's brows immediately furrowed, and his heart began to lift.

Ignoring Zhou Wenli, Yun Qi quickly moved closer to his second brother and younger sister.

After a while, Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Ling didn't come towards them.

Turning around, he saw her walking towards the officials not far away, and his heart... sank uncontrollably.

I can't describe the feeling. I clearly said that I wanted to let it go, but seeing her stick to me like this, I still feel uncomfortable.

If I were to say that I'm very sad, it doesn't seem to have reached that point yet.

Reminding himself to ignore it and look away, Yun Qi stopped looking over there and imitated Yun Xi, splashing water onto his face.

Yun Xi and Yun Yan also saw Zhou Ling, and at first they thought she would come over, after all, Zhou Wenli was there. They really didn't expect that she would actually go to those officials.

Yun Yan curled his lips and whispered, "This is like not even wanting a fig leaf. Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone."

Yun Xi stretched out her white hands and stroked the water in the stream, creating ripples.

She doesn't have time to care about what other people are thinking. As long as the flirting doesn't offend herself and her family, she won't make any comment.

It was obvious that his elder brother must have felt somewhat uncomfortable because she was the girl he loved after all.

She shook her head gently at Yun Yan, signaling him to stop talking and never mention Zhou Ling in front of his brother again.

Yun Yan glanced at his elder brother and immediately understood. He was still a little indignant, but he kept his mouth shut.

"Second brother, go ask mom and dad if they want to come and wash their faces."

Yun Yan stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and let them take over."

As soon as Yun Yan left, Ying Tianchen and others came towards Yun Xi and the others.

Yun Xi was puzzled. Why did they come here? Didn't they see Zhou Ling running towards them? If they came over here, what would Zhou Ling do?

Ying Tianchen was at a loss, because they were the only grown men there. Zhou Ling didn't go anywhere else, but to their place. The girl surnamed Zhou had the word "flirting" written on her face. He had no choice but to avoid her.

If I don't avoid it, what will happen if Miss Yun misunderstands me?

Originally, the two of them had met, but there was no progress. He even felt that Miss Yun was avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him a little anxious. If there was any more misunderstanding, he would be furious.

So, you must stay away from this woman.

After a change of mind, he brought a few subordinates to Yun Xi and the others.

Zhou Ling looked at the backs of Ying Tianchen and the others and stamped her feet in anger. She finally made up her mind to walk towards them, thinking that as long as she could talk to the young Master Chen, she would not care about other people's opinions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked up to him and hadn't finished speaking the words she had been preparing for for a long time, he strode away.

When I looked at the direction they left, I became even angrier.

She stood there in a daze for a while, bit her lip, and then followed him.

Here, Ying Tianchen has already started talking to Yun Qi and Yun Xi.

"Miss Yun, Shopkeeper Yun, I have an unwelcome request and I hope you will agree to it."

"Master Chen, you go ahead." Yun Qi stood up and greeted him.

Yun Xi was still squatting with no intention of responding, but her ears were perked up, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"It's like this. We were in a hurry to leave the city today and didn't bring enough dry food. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Yun if he could give us some food. We will pay for it."

Yun Xi was puzzled. She seemed to remember that when they stopped to eat, these officials were not far away and their mouths were busy. Were they still not full?

Yun Qi was also a little confused. "Master Chen, with our speed, we should be able to reach Fuchuan County to rest at night. I'm afraid you may not be used to the food we bring, so you can replenish your dry food in Fuchuan County by then."

Ying Tianchen was stunned. How could he have forgotten about this?

"Manager Yun, I'm not talking about the evening meal, but the lunch right now. We didn't have enough food just now."

Yun Xi understood and was a little proud. It seemed that she had guessed it right. She was just smarter than her brother and could guess the essence of everything.

Yun Qi nodded slightly, "I see. Okay then, I'll go back and see if we still have the food we brought. Because it's hot, we don't dare to bring too much, so we plan to replenish some when we get to Fuchuan County. If there's any left, I'll give it to Master Chen and the others."

Ying Tianchen thanked him, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Yun."

After agreeing on this, Yunqi squatted back down, and Ying Tianchen followed their example, squatting by the stream to wash his hands and face.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw those tender hands playing with the water, stirring the water in his heart, and ripples appeared in his heart as well.

When Zhou Ling came over and saw the three people squatting side by side, she almost gritted her teeth. She looked at Zhou Wenli and winked at him.

Zhou Wenli naturally understood what she meant and frowned slightly. He glanced at Ying Tianchen and neither nodded nor shook his head.

Zhou Ling took it as his consent.

She walked towards Zhou Wenli, but if she wanted to get to Zhou Wenli's side, she would have to pass behind Yun Xi, Yun Qi and Ying Tianchen in turn.

She seemed to be walking well at first, but somehow, when she was behind Ying Tianchen, her foot suddenly slipped, and with a scream of "Ah--", she fell towards Ying Tianchen.

"Master be careful."

The moment the person fell, Ying Tianchen's guard flew forward and kicked her.

Zhou Ling screamed "Ah" again and fell uncontrollably towards Di Yunqi.

Seeing that the person was about to fall on him, Yun Qi leaned back to avoid it and stepped into the stream.

At the critical moment, Yun Xi grabbed Yun Qi's arm and pulled him towards her. She also used Qinggong to drag Yun Qi back several steps.

"thump--"

There was a sound of a heavy object falling into water, and Zhou Ling fell into the stream without any hindrance.

Zhou Wenli hurried over and shouted anxiously, "Help, someone save my sister, she can't swim, and neither can I."

After saying that, he looked at Yunqi and then at Ying Tianchen.

When he saw this, he was so angry that he almost fell into the stream.

Except for Yun Xi, who was looking at the people splashing in the stream with shining eyes, everyone else standing nearby turned their backs to avoid suspicion, and some even walked towards the woods.
