Chapter 122: After being beaten, he changed his mind.
"I'm so shy just calling you by your name," Gu Xixi said, moving closer to Shen Qingyan. "Just call me Xixi, that's what everyone calls you. Or should I call you Lord Shen from now on?"
“Miss Xixi, you…” Shen Qingyan seemed to have been driven to a dead end, and after a fierce struggle, he finally gave in and gave up, “Xixi.”
The moment he uttered that cry, his voice was tender and affectionate, and Gu Xixi felt as if an electric current had run through her scalp, sending a shiver down her spine.
She regretted it; Shen Qingyan's shouts... were just too beautiful.
She didn't know how to describe it, but... she felt different from everyone else.
Her cheeks flushed with the same rosy hue as Shen Qingyan's, and Gu Xixi immediately noticed the change in herself. "Okay, okay, stop shouting. Take your things away. You, you go upstairs and make lunch, and practice what I taught you this morning."
She turned away, pretending nothing had happened, but she could hear her heart pounding like a drum, and an uncontrollable panic.
After a long while, she heard Shen Qingyan say with a smile, "Okay."
Gu Xixi heard his mockery, turned around angrily, and bumped headfirst into Shen Qingyan's clear eyes.
She read a sentence in his eyes: "Girl, do you know that this is a case of 'protesting too much'?"
Depend on!
……
Qingfeng County, within the city, the Prefectural Governor's Mansion.
Wei Chi had his servants carry several boxes of things to his courtyard, while he personally carried the telescope, sunflowers, and self-heating rice to his father's study.
Unlike usual, there were soldiers guarding the door to his father's study today.
Wei Chi was about to step forward when the soldiers, without drawing their swords, simply raised their hands to stop him. "The Prefect and my master have something to discuss. Please wait a moment, young master."
"Alright, then please tell my father that I have urgent business with him and ask him to inform me to come over after seeing off the distinguished guests." Wei Chi bowed slightly and glanced at the boots on the two men's feet, which were the military standard.
If he wasn't mistaken, the person in his father's study right now was undoubtedly that prince.
My father used to only report to the military, so why did he come to our house today?
If he forces his way in, and that person doesn't like these things, he'll definitely have a bad impression of his father. He should wait for his father to go out and discuss it before making a decision.
When Wei Chi returned to his courtyard, some of the goods he had brought back had already been divided up by his friends.
He had arranged to meet these friends in advance, but they stood him up at the last minute. He never expected that they would still be here.
A friend was holding a strange string of interconnected circles, and when he blew on them, he produced colorful bubbles.
The maids surrounded him, urging him to blow more.
Another friend was tearing open some packaging with scribbles and taking out the contents to eat. Not only was his mouth greasy, but he was also making extremely uncouth noises, making it seem as if he had been slapped in the face.
Another person had a row of colorful bottles in front of him, decorated with delicate traditional Chinese flowers in vibrant colors. He kept peeling off the black stoppers of those bottles, watching the steam rise and disappear, thoroughly enjoying himself.
“Young Master Wei, you’ve found such a wonderful place today, yet you didn’t invite us. We’ve never seen or heard of anything like the things you brought back.”
"Wei Chi, what are you holding in your arms? Is it something new and fun? Take it out and let us see."
"It must be. They're hiding something good and not letting us see it. Wei Chi, don't run away."
……
A few of his cronies started chasing after him, each saying something, and Wei Chi didn't even have a chance to speak.
When Prefect Wei of Qingfeng County entered and saw this scene, he was furious. He shouted, "Wei Chi, you sent your servant to tell me you had urgent business with me. Is this your urgent business?"
"You sent me here to see you indulging in debauchery and doing absolutely nothing?! Huh!"
He pulled a riding whip from his waist and headed straight for Wei Chi. It was the first time the others had ever seen Lord Wei so angry, so they all got up and ran away.
“Uncle Wei, I just came here to take a look. Since you have something to discuss with Wei Chi, I will take my leave now.”
"Lord Wei, I'll be leaving now."
"Wei Chi, take care of yourself."
……
Wei Chi: ...
No one can be trusted; the spirit of "better to die than to die for oneself" is fully displayed.
The yard was cleared of people. Wei Chi, clutching a box, jumped around the yard, dodging his father's attacks. "Dad, Dad, stop! I have something good to show you. I promise you'll praise me!"
"You said the same thing last time, and then you brought me a rat snake and scared me so badly I fell over. You still dare to mention it?!" Lord Wei recalled the series of things his spendthrift son had done in the past and didn't believe him at all.
Wei Chi steeled himself, stopped, and let the first lash strike his buttocks.
He gritted his teeth and prepared himself mentally, but when the whip struck, he still winced in pain and cried out, "Dad, it hurts! Please listen to me and let me see!"
Lord Wei hadn't expected him to actually stop so he could be hit, so he took the opportunity to lash him again before asking, "What is this? Show it to me."
Wei Chi was in so much pain that he couldn't speak: ...
“Father, I saw a strange piece of paper today and followed it... These are the things from that shop... Especially this self-heating rice... And the clairvoyance that can see into the distance, can you see it clearly? And this is just... And the super-hearing thing, I didn't have time to see it before I came back to report to you.”
As a result, he was severely beaten.
Lord Wei coughed awkwardly twice, looked around with his binoculars, and waited for the self-heating rice to cook.
In less than fifteen minutes, Wei Chiyi, mimicking the process, lifted the lid, picked up the bowl, and handed it to Wei's father. Wei's father tasted it, and his expression became increasingly solemn.
He stared at Wei Chi, a rare look of admiration in his eyes. "You kid, you're not much of a man, but you're certainly lucky. Let's forget about today's matter. I'll go see that person first. You stay home and don't wander off."
After saying that, Wei's father picked up the box and the unfinished rice and strode away.
Wei Chi: We've already fought, should we just tell him to let it go?
……
When Lord Wei arrived at the military camp, he reported the entire situation.
The King of Zhen sat upright in his military tent, his appearance imposing and his figure domineering. He listened and watched without changing his expression.
His silence lasted so long that even Lord Wei couldn't figure out what he meant.
The items the female shopkeeper brought out were clearly exactly what they needed right now, so why wasn't the prince saying anything...?
His legs were numb from standing before he heard the person above slowly ask, "I asked you to find Shen Qingyan, Chen Yanxu, and the others. Is there any news now?"
We were talking about the amazing shop, so why did we bring up those two again?
"I have done my best to search, but there is still no news. However, I heard that they were hunted down after escaping from the prison. If they were already dead, it would have been announced to the world to deter people."
