Chapter Twenty-Eight: A World for Two
Suddenly, a dazzling light shone in from the carriage window, just shining on Mu Qiuhuang's face, which was a little dazzling.
Mu Qiuhuang subconsciously turned his head sideways, avoided the sun's rays, and said with a smile: "This is really a June day~ The baby's face, it was still pouring heavy rain just now, I never thought that in an instant, the sun actually came out again......"
Ji Ruoxue looked at the light on Mu Qiuhuang's face, she didn't know what she suddenly thought, and before Mu Qiuhuang finished speaking, she bowed down and got out of the carriage, leaving only one sentence for Mu Qiuhuang: "Quick, there are good things to see outside."
"What?" Mu Qiuhuang tilted his head, and saw that Ji Ruoxue had already gotten out of the carriage, and he hurriedly followed.
As soon as Mu Qiuhuang got out of the carriage, he hurriedly went to find Ji Ruoxue's figure, and when he saw Ji Ruoxue looking up at the sky not far away, Mu Qiuhuang breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to Ji Ruoxue.
Someone once said: Men and women in love, when they don't see each other, they will instantly feel that the road of life has no vision...... Mu Qiuhuang at this moment just proves the authenticity of this sentence.
"What are you looking for?" Mu Qiuhuang said with curiosity on his face.
"Look for a rainbow! Rainbows usually appear after the rain,......" Ji Ruoxue said without looking back, her eyes still staring at the sky at the four corners.
"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang responded, but did not look for the rainbow like her, but stared at Ji Ruoxue's back with a doting face.
Actually, it's clear if you don't say it.
In his eyes, no matter how beautiful the rainbow is, it is definitely not as beautiful as the person in front of him.
β¦β¦
"Look, there's a rainbow there." Ji Ruoxue suddenly screamed excitedly, turned around, and stretched out her hand to Mu Qiuhuang to point to the rainbow in the distance.
"Did you see that?" Ji Ruoxue asked.
"Well, I see, it's beautiful." Mu Qiuhuang replied quietly, his eyes followed the direction of Ji Ruoxue's fingertips and looked at the sky in the distance, only to see a colorful rainbow hanging horizontally in the blue sky in the distance.
After hearing Mu Qiuhuang say that he also saw the rainbow, Ji Ruoxue no longer spoke, but poured all her attention into the rainbow in the distance.
And Mu Qiuhuang's gaze only stopped briefly on the rainbow, and then fell on Ji Ruoxue, who was looking at the rainbow.
β¦β¦
I don't know how long it took, Ji Ruoxue turned her head with satisfaction, and said to Mu Qiuhuang, "Do you know why I like rainbows?" β
"Because it's beautiful?" Mu Qiuhuang said tentatively.
Ji Ruoxue smiled slightly when she heard this, and said: "Beauty is only one aspect, what I like more is its mystery, not every rainbow can be seen after the rain, and its existence is extremely short, it will become empty in a flash, it takes more luck to see it, but when it hangs in the sky, I always fantasize that I can step on it, from one end to the other......"
"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and said, "It seems that we are all lucky today......
"Do you think I'm naΓ―ve?" Ji Ruoxue asked again.
"No, it won't." Mu Qiuhuang lowered her head to look at her, and replied gently and seriously: "Every girl should have a colorful dream. β
"Really?"
Ji Ruoxue savored this sentence, and her face immediately overflowed with an extremely happy smile.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When Ji Ruoxue decided to ride an elk instead of a carriage, Mu Qiuhuang did not hesitate to untie the horse on the carriage and abandon the luxurious carriage that he had bought this morning and was several times more expensive than the horse...... The reason for this is just to be able to walk side by side with the other person.
The two of them rode the deer and horses all the way, and finally arrived at the small city where Mu Qiuhuang lived in the previous chat.
This small city is called Baicheng, and its size and population density are comparable to the previous Qingcheng, in fact, the two cities are also called sister cities. Because there is a river that connects these two cities, and the people of the two cities are the source of water from this river.
The reason why the two came to this small city was not only because it was the closest city to them, but also because Su Xiaoxiao had told Mu Qiuhuang before that there was a marriage bridge in this small city, and there was a restaurant named "Buxian Xian" in the alley at the head of the bridge,...... According to the locals: as long as two people who love each other walk across the marriage bridge together, hang concentric locks on the bridge, and eat a mandarin duck pot in the "Buxian Xian" restaurant, the two can never be separated and grow old together...... Since then, there is no envy of mandarin ducks and no envy of immortals.
Although, anyone with a modicum of wisdom can see that this is a legend deliberately made up by the locals in order to attract foreign tourists. However, after hearing this legend, Mu Qiuhuang was convinced of it, and incorporated the two things of walking the marriage bridge and eating the mandarin duck pot together into his plan.
However, Su Xiaoxiao was sarcastic about this, because she knew that men and women who fell in love had basically zero IQ, and they would extremely believe in all the legends that had good wishes for their love...... Therefore, in addition to revealing a bit of envy in the depths of her eyes, Ji Ruoxue also wisely hid herself in the dark.
The marriage bridge is actually not very big, and there is no water under the bridge, just a stone bridge built in the middle of the road, but the only thing that makes people feel is that the marriage bridge has existed here for more than ten years, and it is not newly built. This can be evidenced by the cracks in the bridge and the numerous concentric locks hanging from the iron lock guardrails on both sides of the bridge.
Mu Qiuhuang took Ji Ruoxue to walk on the marriage bridge, and while telling her about the legend of the marriage bridge, she took out a knife and carefully engraved the names of the two on the concentric lock that she had just bought from the old man at the bridge.
After Mu Qiuhuang carved the names of the two, it took a while to find a blank chain eye from the iron lock guardrail, and said to Ji Ruoxue with a happy face: "Hang the concentric lock here!" β
After Ji Ruoxue took the concentric lock from his hand and hung it on the chain, she took the key and asked him, "What about the key?" β
Mu Qiuhuang took the key and destroyed it casually, smiled at Ji Ruoxue and said, "In this way, our hearts can be locked together forever and not separated." β
After hearing this, Ji Ruoxue's face flushed again, and she turned her head with a smile and whispered, "Who said that I want to be locked with you forever and not separated?" β
"Huh?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but look confused.
Ji Ruoxue didn't notice his expression, but the next words made Mu Qiuhuang breathe a long sigh of relief, what she said was: "Didn't you say that you still want to eat mandarin duck pot?" Where is the 'Unenvious Immortal'? β
"It should be in the alley in front of the bridge." Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly said, grabbed the reins of the horse and walked in front to lead the way.
When I came to the alley at the head of the bridge, I saw that in a short alley, all of them were restaurants, and the cloth outside each restaurant had the words "not envious of immortals" written on it, and I didn't know that the restaurant was the legendary one.
Just when Mu Qiuhuang felt embarrassed and didn't know how to explain, Ji Ruoxue smiled slightly, led the elk and walked ahead, and said without looking back: "I'm hungry, it's better to find a home to eat at will!" β
The two walked along the alley to the end of the alley, and finally found a restaurant that looked cleaner and had a larger door, and walked in.
Xiao Er, who was standing at the door, looked at the young man and woman, and was about to step forward to say hello, but was attracted by the horse and deer behind the two, and said in surprise: "Why does this elk look taller than a horse......"
This restaurant not only looks good from the outside, but also feels comfortable inside. Mu Qiuhuang noticed that the tables here were not big, and each table was only equipped with two chairs, and the middle of the table and the table were separated by a wooden-framed screen, and the shadows of diners at other tables were faintly reflected on the screen, which seemed a little hazy...... After Mu Qiuhuang followed Ji Ruoxue to choose a corner and sit down, he looked around, only to find that the diners here were all young men and women like them.
The boss asked with a smile on his face, "What are the two guest officers going to eat?" β
"Mandarin duck pot, and then put all your specialties on the table." Mu Qiuhuang said.
The boss was stunned when he heard this, and then explained: "The two guest officers are outsiders, right?" The local mandarin duck pot is not the kind of mandarin duck pot in the hot pot, the whole cuisine is a pot, the main thing is pork ribs, there are pork ribs prawns and mandarin ducks, ribs bullfrog mandarin ducks, ribs chicken wings mandarin ducks, ......"
Listening to the boss spitting to introduce the cuisine of the restaurant, Ji Ruoxue couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Let's be the first pork rib prawn and mandarin duck!" β
"Okay, do you want to drink any more drinks for the two guest officers? Our signature here is Hundred Fruit Wine, but there are other common drinks such as ......" the owner continued.
"Alright, just your signature Baiguo Bar!" Mu Qiuhuang hurriedly interrupted.
"Okay! The two guest officers waited for a while, and it was all right away. The boss spoke, and then went to the back kitchen to start arrogating.
When only the two of them were left in the corner, Mu Qiuhuang looked at Ji Ruoxue with an embarrassed face, and just as he was about to explain, Ji Ruoxue preemptively spoke: "Today, this is the happiest day since I left home......
"Really?" Mu Qiuhuang looked overjoyed, and then said: "Today is the luckiest day in my life. β
When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she blinked her eyes and said softly, "Don't play poor." β
"I don't have ......"
Mu Qiuhuang was about to open his mouth to explain, but Ji Ruoxue suddenly interrupted: "I believe it." β
"Really?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.
Ji Ruoxue put her arms on the table to support her head, turned her head to look at Mu Qiuhuang, who was looking ecstatic, and said with a smile: "It's really stupid." β
