I fulfilled the female supporting role's wish and I succeeded
Chapter 182 Lotus Tower (8)
Qiao Wanwan listened to Li Xiangyi's somewhat teasing words and felt both angry and amused. She patted Li Xiangyi's head lightly and scolded him, "You stinky little brother, you only know how to talk nonsense!"
She raised her eyes and carefully looked at the young man in front of her. After not seeing him for a few months, he seemed to have grown taller. There was less childishness and more heroism between his brows. His whole body exuded a vigorous vitality.
Looking at the high-spirited Li Xiangyi in front of her, Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but sigh that this child is still a child. Although he behaves like a hero, he still has the innocence of a teenager in his bones.
"Sister, I brought you a gift!" Li Xiangyi said, taking out an exquisite little wooden box from his arms and handing it to Qiao Wanwan.
"And look!" He pointed to a plate of exquisite pastries on the table. "This is your favorite osmanthus cake. I bought it specially from the most famous 'Xiang Man Lou' in Suzhou City!"
Qiao Wanwan looked at the familiar plate of osmanthus candy, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She picked up a piece and took a light bite, the familiar sweet taste spreading in her mouth.
"How do you know I like to eat this?" Qiao Wanwan looked up at Li Xiangyi with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Li Xiangyi smiled complacently, pointed at the furnishings in the Qiao Mansion, and said, "Sister, there's osmanthus cake on the table in your room every day. It's hard for me not to know it!"
He then opened the small wooden box, which contained an exquisite silk scarf embroidered with a lifelike orchid.
"I saw this sold by an old lady when I was traveling in Jiangnan. I thought the orchid pattern was very suitable for your temperament, so I bought it for you." Li Xiangyi said as he took out the silk scarf and gently draped it over Qiao Wanwan's shoulders.
He was like a child presenting a treasure, his eyes full of anticipation, as if waiting for Qiao Wanwan's praise.
Qiao Wanwan looked at the silk scarf on her shoulders. It was soft to the touch, beautifully embroidered, and the orchid seemed to exude a delicate fragrance. She was moved and whispered, "Thank you, Xiangyi. I like it very much."
"As long as my sister likes it!" Li Xiangyi smiled even more brightly after receiving the compliment.
"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Qiao Wanwan asked while admiring the scarf.
"About... a month." Li Xiangyi thought for a moment and said, "This time I came back mainly to deal with some matters of the Baisha Gang, and to visit my sister."
"One month..." Qiao Wanwan murmured to herself, feeling a little reluctant.
"Sister, is there any place you want to go? I can take you there!" Li Xiangyi looked at Qiao Wanwan and suggested.
"I..." Qiao Wanwan hesitated. She really wanted to go to many places. She wanted to see the outside world and experience the excitement of the world.
In her previous two lives, she had lived in the palace and the princess's mansion. Although she had no worries about food and clothing, she always felt that something was missing in her life.
She envied Li Xiangyi's freedom, envied that he could travel the world with a sword and meet all kinds of people and things.
"I also want to go out with you and see the world." Qiao Wanwan finally expressed her thoughts, her eyes full of longing.
"Okay!" Li Xiangyi agreed readily. "Once I'm done with the Baisha Gang, I'll take my sister with me to venture into the martial arts world!"
"Really?" Qiao Wanwan couldn't believe it. She didn't expect Li Xiangyi to agree to her so easily.
"Of course it's true!" Li Xiangyi patted his chest, "When have I ever lied to my sister?"
Qiao Wanwan smiled, and smiled happily.
In the following days, Li Xiangyi dealt with the affairs of the Baisha Gang while chatting with Qiao Wanwan.
She told him what he had seen and heard outside, those thrilling stories of the underworld, those various characters, those beautiful scenery...
Qiao Wanwan listened with great interest, as if she were in that wonderful world of Jianghu.
She yearned even more for the world that Li Xiangyi described, and she couldn't wait to see that world with her own eyes.
"Xiangyi, please tell me the story of Conan, the 'Flying Bat'!" Qiao Wanwan pulled Li Xiangyi's sleeve and begged.
"Okay!" Li Xiangyi smiled and began to vividly describe the strange stories he encountered in the martial arts world.
The sunlight shines through the window onto their bodies, giving them a golden glow.
Qiao Wanwan held her chin and listened quietly, her eyes full of longing.
"...That Conan Dong is a master of Qinggong, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and few in the martial arts world can catch him. However, although he is a thief, he can also be considered a 'chivalrous thief', robbing the rich to help the poor and never harming innocent people..."
"So what happened to him in the end?" Qiao Wanwan asked curiously.
"In the end..." Li Xiangyi deliberately kept the secret, "In the end, I caught him!"
"You?" Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened in surprise. "You caught him?"
"Yes!" Li Xiangyi smiled proudly, "I fought him for three days and three nights, and finally defeated him with the move 'Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon'!"
"Wow! You are so awesome!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed sincerely.
"Haha, of course!" Li Xiangyi felt a little flattered by the compliment.
In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the window lattice onto Qiao Wanwan's face. She stretched, stood up and walked to the window.
"Sister, are you awake?" Li Xiangyi pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bunch of dew-covered wild flowers in his hand. "This is for you."
Qiao Wanwan took the wildflower and sniffed it gently. The faint fragrance was refreshing. "It smells so good. Thank you, Xiangyi."
"Today we are leaving Jinling and going out into the world!" Li Xiangyi's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yeah!" Qiao Wanwan nodded heavily, her heart full of anticipation.
The two packed their bags and went to Xiao Cui's room to say goodbye.
Xiao Cui's eyes were slightly red. She held Qiao Wanwan's hand and choked up, saying, "Miss, I don't know when we will see each other again. Please take care of yourself!"
Qiao Wanwan gently patted the back of Xiao Cui's hand and comforted her, "Silly girl, it's not a life-and-death separation. I will write to you often. You have to take care of yourself too."
Li Xiangyi also stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiao Cui, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."
Xiao Cui nodded and took out a sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks from her bosom and handed it to Qiao Wanwan. "Miss, this is embroidered by me. If you carry it with you, it will bless you with safety."
Qiao Wanwan took the sachet and held it in her hand, cherishing it. "Thank you, Xiao Cui."
After bidding farewell to Xiao Cui, Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan left Qiaojiazhuang.
Outside the city of Jinling, the autumn wind was blowing and the leaves were falling.
"Sister, where do you want to go?" Li Xiangyi asked.
Qiao Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the scenery of Mount Emei is very beautiful. Let's go to Mount Emei!"
"Okay!" Li Xiangyi agreed readily.
