Chapter 270
He took her along the riverside to the nearby rocky beach, only to find that Gongsun Yuqi didn't know where to take Zixuan to hang out, leaving only him and Helan Qiyou. He held her hand as if it were normal.
Although she did not fully understand the mundane things of the outside world, she had never seen a man holding a woman in a car or walking on the street several times before. Men in this era often regard women as their possessions, rather than as companions who can support each other. But she felt that he really respected her, and it was one of the few things that made her feel distracted.
"Is there anything wrong with the treat that the steward just said?"
"Nothing," he paused before adding. He didn't say to invite you, how can he just ask me not to invite you? β
She raised an eyebrow. "Oh... Then I don't have to go? β
Can't ask her to go? What kind of banquet is that?
"Of course... No, Madame wants to accompany me. He added.
However, his words were enough to make her feel that there must be something difficult for him to talk about at this banquet, and he would speak so mysteriously.
"Thatβ" was about to ask again, when suddenly she heard a loud shout not far away, accompanied by a loud sound of entering the water. She jumped off the cliff on the edge of the rocky beach not far away, screaming and jumping.
It wasn't just the people who jumped him who shouted wildly, but the people who lined up to jump off the side of the bump shouted even crazier.
Qing Xuan was startled, not knowing what was going on.
"Scaring you?"
Qingxuan shook his head, looked more closely, and found a group of teenagers in their teens waiting to jump off the cliff at the highest point on the cliff; A group of younger, probably only a few years old, lined up on the same cliff in a relatively low position.
"That's a cliff jump, so they can jump quickly from any height on the boat in the future, and generally except for water training."
"At such a young age, did you start peeing?" She pointed to the shorter diving spot, where the kid looked really young. "That one looks like he's only five or six years old..."
Together, they walked to the lower diving position on the cliff by the rocky beach, and sure enough, the little boy in line there looked no older than ten years old.
"Usually you can try jumping after you have practiced water, and I remember the first time I jumped, I was not even five years old."
There were two adult men nearby, keeping an eye on the children, maintaining order and giving instructions.
"Young master, young master's wife." As soon as they saw Qi Yu and Qing Lu, they immediately saluted.
When the other children heard who they were, they immediately gathered around them happily.
"Young master, are you also here to play?"
"Or... The young lady also came to play? β
"Wow! Young master, we really want to see you spinning! β
"Madame, do you want to try it?"
Seeing so many children innocently asking questions, Qingxuan thought it was actually quite interesting, especially these children all seemed to be playing, and they jumped once and enjoyed climbing the cliff again and jumping again.
"You're very stakesome?" She asked him with a somewhat challenging look. "Didn't everyone say they wanted to see you perform?"
"Madame really want to see it?" There was an unexpectedly relaxed skin on his face, like a child.
This was the first time Qing Xuan had seen him with such an expression, originally she was just talking, but she didn't expect him to pull her directly to the highest diving point on the cliff, and began to take off her robe and clothes one by one and put them on her hands as she walked.
