A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Looking at her eating melon, Chu Jingchen pursed his lips slightly, a few smiles quietly appeared at the corners of his mouth, and then continued softly:

"You see, our friendship used to be pure and beautiful. But one day, she thought I was having an affair with someone else and decisively cut off all contact with me. No matter how much I begged, she wouldn't listen to even a single word of my explanation. Since then, I've desperately searched for her, but she seems determined. Alas, tell me, isn't my situation truly pitiful?"

When Yi Duoer heard this, her beautiful eyebrows knitted tightly together. Without thinking, she reached out her hand and gently patted his shoulder, then said with a sense of justice:

"That unfaithful person is so despicable that he cut off all ties with you without even giving you a chance to explain. He is just like that heartless villain." Yi Duoer had no idea that she was the protagonist of this story. She was just shouting and cursing with righteous indignation, only wanting to speak up for the imaginary A Jing.

Chu Jingchen quickly stopped her from speaking. How could he bear to let her slander him like this? But who would have thought that the next second, Yi Duoer said to herself:

"Could it be because of your looks... maybe he never truly loved you in the first place, so he found this excuse and broke off all ties with you without even bothering to listen to your explanation. Don't be sad for him anymore."

Chu Jingchen's face instantly turned as dark as ink. How could he accept Yi Duoer saying that she didn't love him?

Seeing this, Yi Duoer quickly shut her mouth and explained that she did not mean that and asked him not to worry about it.

Then, like a frightened deer, she immediately stood up and ran away, leaving Chu Jingchen alone in the brilliant sunshine, full of melancholy.

Xie Xingchen insisted on sending Yayu back to Dongli Kingdom, but how could Yayu be willing to leave like this? She would not tolerate him being alone with that vixen.

Then, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two again.

Yayu burst into tears and ran out, only to run into Tuoba Hong's favorite concubine. She said it was a chance encounter, but in fact, the concubine had been waiting there deliberately.

"Crown Princess, if you have time, you may come and sit with me for a while." After the concubine said this, she gracefully handed her a handkerchief, indicating that she should wipe the tears from her face.

"Are you the little Khan's man? Humph, what? Are you here to laugh at me too?" Yayu's tone was cold, like frost in the cold night. She did not take the handkerchief that was handed to her.

The corners of the concubine's lips slightly raised, outlining a meaningful smile, and she said bluntly:

"That woman is clearly a shameless promiscuous woman. To climb to a high position, she'd resort to any means necessary, even committing any shameful act."

Yayu stared at her with a puzzled look, "Are you serious?"

The concubine was secretly pleased with herself, like a cat that had stolen some fish, and she continued:

"Of course it's true. She even tried to climb into the young Khan's bed before, and even attacked me. I never thought she would seduce the Crown Prince again. You and I are both women, and I couldn't bear to see you being kept in the dark, so I just gave you a warning."

When Yayu heard this, the anger in her eyes burned like a flame, and she thought to herself: Sure enough, the pure appearance she showed in front of Xie Xingchen was all fake.

Then, she glanced at her favorite concubine again and said coldly: "Thank you for your reminder, young lady. I will know how to deal with it." After that, she moved lightly with lotus steps and walked away gracefully. The favorite concubine looked at her departing back, and a complacent smile appeared on her face.

In the evening, Yi Duoer took Chu Jingchen to the river. In recent days, she had been busy with many things, and she felt exhausted both physically and mentally. She seemed to be emitting an unpleasant odor, so she thought of taking a good bath while no one was around.

Chu Jingchen's heart was filled with anticipation. If he wasn't worried that Duo'er wouldn't forgive him and would push him away if he revealed his identity, he really wanted to reveal his identity immediately so that he could embrace her without any scruples and kiss her beautiful lips passionately. This was what he had dreamed of for countless days and nights.

At this moment, he could only silently stay by her side and accompany her to the river. When the two of them approached the river, Yi Duoer muttered:

"I'm almost stinking all over, Jing, you have to rub my back well later. You look pretty strong, so after I'm done washing, I'll rub your back well too."

Chu Jingchen's expression was gentle, like the warmest spring breeze blowing across the lake, his eyes full of anticipation.

When they reached the edge of the grass, they suddenly heard whispers coming from the side. One voice was gentle and soft, like Yuyao's, while the other was a man's deep voice. This made Yi Duoer confused and frowned slightly.

Chu Jingchen knew it was Han Bo's voice as soon as he heard it. In an instant, his handsome eyebrows quickly gathered like mountains. He looked at Yi Duo'er who was looking puzzled beside him, and without hesitation, he raised his foot and walked towards the source of the voice, while shouting loudly:

"Who? Who's there?"

When the two heard the sudden shout, especially Han Bo, they were like frightened birds. They were so scared that they immediately panicked and didn't care about Yu Yao beside them. They whispered hurriedly, "Yaoyao, I'm leaving first." After that, they ran away like a wild horse.

Yi Duoer happened to walk over and only saw the man's back as he hurried away. It was not until the figure disappeared into the vast night that she slowly came to her senses and thought to herself: Why does this figure look so familiar?

"Yuyao, what are you doing here in the dead of night? Also, who was that man just now?" Yi Duoer's voice rang out in the night sky, with a bit of curiosity and concern.

Yu Yao said with a hint of anger: "Oh, you scared him away. You guessed right, I like him."

She boldly admitted her feelings for him and said that she had known him for some time, describing him as tall, handsome, and a talented person.

Yi Duoer looked at the girl in her teens and twenties and thought to herself, at this age, it's the time for love to begin. It's normal to fall in love, even to secretly meet in the woods. After all, who can be heartless when they are young?

But a subtle trace of worry still flashed across the depths of her eyes, and then she said:

"Then who is he? Where is he from? How many people are there in his family? Do you, Ah Zhu, know?"

Yu Yao shook her head slightly and said that she only knew that he came from the capital and worked in the court, but she did not dare to tell her brother because she was afraid.

This answer made Yi Duoer slap her forehead helplessly, and said with a little excitement:

"Oh my God! You don't know anything, yet you dare to meet him here alone in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid that he has bad intentions towards you? He doesn't look like a gentleman. What kind of man from a respectable family would invite a girl to this river in the middle of the night? He ran away when he saw me!"

After hearing this, Yu Yao immediately retorted, and her emotions were even more agitated than Yi Duoer.

"He promised to marry me. He's always treated me with the utmost respect and has never done anything frivolous to me! Sangsang, don't worry. He was scared away by you. Tomorrow, I'll let him meet you."

Yu Yao's words made Yi Duo'er feel a little relieved. Fortunately, the man had not done anything inappropriate to Yu Yao. Otherwise, in this feudal dynasty with strict ethics, if she became pregnant, she would be despised and scorned by everyone.

Seeing that her brows were still slightly furrowed, Yu Yao reached out and gently took Yi Duo'er's arm, shaking it like a spoiled child: "Good Sangsang, promise me not to tell my brother yet."

Yi Duo'er raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said with embarrassment: "Then Xiaoran's diaper tomorrow..."

Yu Yao knew that she had some conditions, but she still responded generously: "Leave it to me!"

Yi Duoer raised her hand lovingly and patted her pink cheek gently. How could she really let Yuyao wash diapers? Ever since Chu Jingchen came, she herself had never touched them.

Then, she spread her hands helplessly and said, "Forget it, just be careful and don't let that man take advantage of you."

Yuyao nodded obediently, and Yi Duoer knew that this was someone else's private matter, so she couldn't interfere too much. So, she found a place with rounded stones under the water, began to take off her clothes, and prepared to bathe in the warm river water. At this moment, all the heaviness disappeared.

After all, it is a hot summer. Even at night, the temperature is not low, and the river water is warm and pleasant, about 30 degrees.
