Chapter 508: Showing the Fishing Lights on the River
Jing Chunxi covered his mouth and laughed very happily. His big, lively eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.
She said excitedly, "The food we packed back today is so delicious that they said they can't eat enough and are running out now! There will definitely not be enough food to sell in Sanfang Qixiang tonight." There was a hint of pride on her little face, as if she had already seen the lively scene of Sanfang Qixiang.
"They have made a plan to clear out all the fried, dried and fragrant ones from the stalls. They also want to buy whole baskets of things like meat dumplings, egg dumplings and taro paste, which don't keep for long, because they say they can last for two days." Jing Chunxi said as he gestured with his hands, as if those delicacies were right in front of him.
Seeing the little girl laughing so hard, like a real foodie, Xu Zize couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulders, his face and eyes full of doting.
His eyes were as gentle as the warm spring sun, shining on Jing Chunxi, making her feel extremely warm. He whispered, "Just spoil them, be careful they don't treat you as their master." His voice was low and magnetic, with a hint of teasing, but also revealed his concern for Jing Chunxi.
"will not!"
Jing Chunxi raised his head and smiled at him. With his small body, his head was not even as high as Xu Zize's shoulders, but the two of them didn't feel awkward at all when they looked at each other.
She argued confidently: "The fairy aunt has helped me test them. They are loyal. If I don't drive them away, they will follow me for the rest of their lives." Her eyes were shining and her tone was full of determination.
"If everyone likes it so much, Xier should tell Brother Xiaokang today so I can have someone go early to order the food and pack it up and send it on board.
"If you let them buy things so rashly, wouldn't that cause chaos on the whole street? People shopping here will curse if they can't buy anything to eat!"
Xu Zize frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of reproach, but his eyes were full of doting. He was worried that Jing Chunxi's impulsiveness would cause trouble for everyone, but he couldn't bear to really blame her.
Jing Chunxi giggled non-stop, her laughter clear and melodious, like the sound of a silver bell. She paid no attention to Xu Zize's rebuke and instead said confidently, "That's why we sent the guards along. The people of Jian'an City don't just need this one meal; they can eat it every day. I don't believe a fight would break out again."
The little girl showed no remorse, and her words were all matter-of-fact, making it hard for him to refute her. Xu Zize touched the back of her head again, his movements gentle and soft, his tone a little convincing: "You make it sound like you're right!" But he couldn't help but smile.
Jing Chunxi had no sense of having done anything wrong. Instead, he spoke with even more confidence, "Besides, we just want them to go out and experience the lively atmosphere of Jian'an City. We want them to feel better when they return. They might even complain to mother, saying that they can't see or eat anything in Jian'an City and that we've locked them up in the house."
"Then Xier, do you want to see the hustle and bustle of Jian'an City again?" Xu Zize didn't want the two of them to be entangled anymore and waste time on this matter.
So he twisted Jing Chunxi's shoulders hard, turning her towards the backyard. His movements were gentle and swift, and before Jing Chunxi could react, she had already been turned in another direction.
She looked at him with a puzzled expression, her eyes full of expectation, and her eyes were filled with the words "Really?"
Since I can’t sleep that early, I must want to go out and have fun! Who doesn’t want to join in the fun? No need to ask!
"Brother Xiaokang will show you the fishing lights on the Minjiang River." Biting his lower lip, Xu Zize winked and smiled. There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, as if he wanted to play a trick on someone.
"Okay!" But Jing Chunxi still had expectations. As long as Xu Zize took her to eat delicious food and have fun, it wouldn't matter if she didn't sleep tonight.
"Where are you going?" Jing Chunxi habitually wanted to turn around and walk towards the front yard, but was pulled by Xu Zize and his body remained where it was.
He pointed his finger in front of them and said, "The back garden!"
I thought we could go out and play, but I didn't expect Xu Zize to be so tricky. Jing Chunxi shrugged off his hand unhappily, her face slightly wrinkled, her eyes full of dissatisfaction. She muttered, "We've walked through the back garden so many times, how can we see the river? If you don't want to go out, just say so earlier. There are also maple trees and fishing lights on the river! Is it interesting?"
Jing Chunxi got angry and couldn't help but feel malicious, so he took the opportunity to pinch him.
Suddenly I felt that it was quite interesting that I could meet Xu Zize in this life because of my rebirth. At least he wouldn't get angry even if I was bullied.
"Hiss! You've become quite capable now! Brother Xiaokang will punish you." Xu Zize said as he reached out his hands to her armpits. His movements were quick and gentle, as if he was teasing Jing Chunxi.
Jing Chunxi was so frightened that she turned and ran away: "Don't do anything bad, I'm angry!" There was a hint of panic in her voice, but her steps were light and agile. She ran as fast as a frightened deer, trying to escape Xu Zize's "claws".
Xu Zize wasn't up to any mischief, nor was he doing anything unreliable in the courtyard. Jing Chunxi's small body was simply clamped by him, unable to move his feet or body.
Jing Chunxi pretended to be in pain and struggled desperately: "Brother Xiaokang, spare my life. I won't dare to do it again."
The top of the girl's head would occasionally gently touch the boy's jaw. The soft touch was tingling, and a strange sense of panic spread through his heart. His heartbeat quickened, and his slightly protruding Adam's apple suddenly moved. There was a hint of panic in his eyes, as if he didn't know what to do.
The hand that was holding her stopped, and the hand that was holding her still did not let go. Xu Zize said in a low voice: "Xi'er, stop making trouble." There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice, as if he was suppressing something.
The strange voice made Jing Chunxi feel different from what she was used to. She looked up at him, and the fire in his eyes startled her, making her feel strangely uneasy. Her heartbeat quickened, and a faint pink tinged her cheeks.
She pushed his chest with both hands, but found that she couldn't move it at all.
After a long moment, she was finally released. Xu Zize remained silent, and Jing Chunxi said, a little annoyed, "I'm going back to rest." Then she turned around. Her movements were swift and decisive, as if she wanted to escape this awkward situation.
Xu Zize panicked and quickly grabbed one of her arms: "The back garden really leads to the Minjiang River, and you can see the lights of the pier." There was a hint of urgency in his voice. He was trying to explain to Jing Chunxi, worried that the girl would not believe him.
"how is this possible?"
Jing Chunxi stopped and looked at him with confusion, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
She recalled the appearance of the back garden. There was only a shallow stream under the high wall. Now the water was almost gone. How could it be possible to see the Minjiang River?
She shook her head, her eyes full of doubt.
