Chapter 32: Kujo Yao
finally found a suitable, quiet ordinary breakfast shop, and Meng Yao walked in with Li Wuchang.
It's a breakfast shop called "Delicious Best", which is slightly larger than last night's noodle shop and has a slightly luxurious layout, but it may be too early in the day to show up for other customers.
The breakfast shop sold bread and rice porridge, and Li Wuchang and Meng Yao found a table and sat down as usual.
The owner of this breakfast shop also knew the famous lady of the Shangguan family, and he said with a little surprise:
"It's the eldest lady of the Shangguan family! Where are you going to go today? β
Meng Yao was silent for a while, and said:
"Two bowls of pickle porridge, please, thank you."
Seeing that Miss Mengyao did not accept the greetings, the boss had to leave silently and go to prepare rice porridge.
After he left, Meng Yao smiled sweetly at Li Wuchang who was sitting opposite:
"It's so troublesome, every time I go out to play, someone will know me and greet me."
Li Wuchang smiled and said:
"The status is prestigious, and that's it. Isn't that a good thing? β
Meng Yao pursed her lips:
"Not really......
It didn't take long for the boss to bring two bowls of boiling rice porridge over and put them in front of Li Wuchang and Meng Yao respectively.
The two didn't say a word, and tacitly lowered their heads and began to eat.
The freshly cooked white porridge was still very hot, and Meng Yao admired how Li Wuchang ate it so quickly, like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.
Li Wuchang already has a great appetite, but now it is even more because he has not eaten since he just got up, and he is hungry.
After only taking a small bite, Meng Yao didn't continue to eat, planning to wait until it was not so hot. She blinked, smiled slightly, looked at Li Wuchang and said:
"I think about what is the arrangement for today. Not...... I have asked Sister Xiaoqing to prepare a carriage for us, and after breakfast, I will go back to the mansion, and then take the carriage and leave the Cytro area, first to the forest north of the Brown region, and then to the big hot springs in the west, I have been to these places several times, but I don't mind going to you again with Brother Impermanence...... What do you think? β
Li Wuchang, who was gobbling it up, just nodded perfunctorily.
Meng Yao continued to say happily:
"Yaoyao believes that as long as it's like this every day, Brother Impermanence will regain his memories sooner or later."
Li Wuchang nodded again and was speechless.
Meng Yao rested her elbows on the table, propping her chin up, looking at Li Wuchang with clear eyes that seemed to have a meteor crossing, and couldn't help but recall many things.
The two have only known each other for three days, but it seems that they have known each other for a long time.
The experience of escaping from the city wall and escaping to the slums outside the wall because of naughtiness made Meng Yao unforgettable for the rest of her life, whenever she thought of the dilapidated scenery there, the numb residents there, and the sky without sunlight, she felt a burst of emotion.
In that purgatory-like place, Meng Yao was almost devoured.
The scene of the first encounter with Li Wuchang inexplicably came to mind, when she fled in extreme embarrassment in order to avoid the pursuit of the evil man with the scar, and just when she was cornered, Li Wuchang appeared.
Their encounter was so inexplicable, after he rescued Meng Yao, Meng Yao thought that Li Wuchang might just be an ordinary resident of the slum, and the two would never meet again in the future, but unexpectedly, the next day, he saved himself again.
The relationship grew rapidly until the current scene.
Li Wuchang had already eaten more than half of the bowl of hot rice porridge at this time, he raised his head suspiciously, and saw Meng Yao's eyes blurred, looking at him indifferently, Li Wuchang asked:
"What's wrong? Isn't it tasty? β
Meng Yao came to her senses and smiled brightly:
"Eat it now."
She had just lowered her head, about to start eating, when out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw a man standing outside the store.
Because Li Wuchang was now facing away from the door of the store, only Meng Yao could see the situation outside. Seeing the man, Meng Yao's face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice:
"There's a nasty guy coming......"
"Huh?" Li Wuchang didn't hear clearly for a while, and was about to ask a question, when a rough male voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Yo, isn't this my Yaoyao!"
Li Wuchang followed the sound and turned around and saw a tall, well-developed man with thick muscles standing behind him.
The man's eyes were on Meng Yao, and he laughed heartily:
"Haha! I didn't expect to meet you here, this is called an unexpected encounter, right? We are a natural match! β
Meng Yao looked away from him, lowered her eyes, and pouted as if unpleasantly:
"Kujou Yao, don't talk nonsense outside!"
When the man she called Kujou Yao heard this, he laughed again for a while before he said:
"That means that as long as there are no outsiders, you will admit that you are my fiancΓ©e?"
β......β
Meng Yao's face was flushed with anger, and after snorting coldly, she didn't care about him anymore, and drank the porridge quietly with her head down.
Not far away, the shopkeeper saw the uninvited guest who had just entered, and saw that they seemed to know each other, so he didn't bother with it.
Kujou Yao seemed to be very satisfied with Meng Yao's reaction at this time, and while his face was bright, he suddenly noticed Li Wuchang, who was sitting opposite Meng Yao, who was looking at himself at this time.
Kujou Yao pulled a stool from the table next to him, moved it between Li Wuchang and Meng Yao, and sat down with a big grin, his eyes stayed on Li Wuchang:
"Brother, who are you?"
Li Wuchang was silent for a while, and just wanted to answer, Meng Yao, who was sitting opposite, said first:
"He is my personal bodyguard, Li Wuchang."
"Kujou Yao, I just want to enjoy the morning quietly with my Mr. Guard now, can you leave for a while?"
It was the first time Li Wuchang had seen Miss Meng Yao have such a ruthless side.
This guy named Kujou Yao, is a well-known "big young master" on this street, he is very active on weekdays, and he has to mix in everything, of course, he is essentially a kind person, and he often helps the residents with all kinds of troubles and small things, and gets along with the residents very well.
And the reason why he is called "the eldest young master" is also for a reason------ he is still one of the three major families of the Hope Country, the eldest young master of the Kujo family.
At the same time, he is also what Aunt Lin of the noodle restaurant said last night, Miss Mengyao's suitor.
If you want to talk about this guy, he is still quite capable, since he was a child, he has disclosed that he likes the eldest lady of the official family, and pursues her strongly, but Meng Yao has not seriously dealt with him once for so many years, just because he is too annoying, and it has brought a lot of impact to Meng Yao's daily life.
So, there is a scene in front of me.
"Oh?"
Kujou Yaohu looked at Li Wuchang suspiciously, then at Meng Yao, and asked:
"Yaoyao, when did you get into the habit of sitting alone with your male subordinates for dinner?"
"I haven't really had a meal with you for so many years, which means I'm not even as good as a subordinate?"
Li Wuchang listened aside, did not interject, pondering the situation in front of him in his heart.
Yao Kujou? Could it be that this guy is one of the three major families, the Kujo family?
Aunt Lin from the noodle restaurant last night seemed to have said that there is an eldest young master in the Jiujo family who is Yaoyao's suitor, so it should be him?
Heh, this guy is weird and funny.
Meng Yao crossed her hands, placed them on her chest, and said angrily:
"He's not a subordinate, he's my bodyguard, he's my friend."
"And I don't know you well, why should I eat with you?"
Kujou Yao turned a deaf ear to these words, and must have heard enough of them over the years. He looked at Li Wuchang and asked:
"Hey, man, what are you from?"
Regarding his not very polite way of greeting, Li Wuchang, who has always had a good temper, didn't care, just shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly:
"Didn't you say it just now, I'm Miss Meng Yao's personal guard."
He raised his eyes to meet Kujou Yao's slightly unkind gaze.
Why do you look like you have a grudge against me...... Li Wuchang chuckled.
At this time, Meng Yao suddenly stood up, took out the silver in the wide sleeves, put it on the table, and then walked to Li Wuchang's side, directly took his hand, and led him out.
Behind them, Kujou Yao stood in place, staring incredulously at the scene.
After leaving the breakfast shop, Meng Yao let go of Li Wuchang's hand and exhaled at the same time.
"Whew...... What a nasty guy. β
Li Wuchang smiled and asked:
"What's wrong? Who is he? β
Meng Yao replied:
"The eldest young master of the Kujo family, who is usually more idle than me, always bothers me."
Li Wuchang held his chin:
"Oh, I remembered. That's what Aunt Lin told me last night, Yaoyao, your suitor. β
Meng Yao paused, and her face suddenly turned red:
"Aunt Lin really said a lot of things!"
She shook her head helplessly, and after a moment of silence, she began to explain to Li Wuchang.
It turned out that a few years ago, the original head of the Shangguan family, that is, when Meng Yao and Mengren's father was still alive, had a good personal relationship with the head of the Jiujo family, and one day, when the two were drinking at a dinner, the head of the Shangguan family, who was not very good, got drunk and began to talk nonsense, and he mentioned his daughter, who was only three years younger than the young master of the Jiujo family, that is, Yaoyao.
In a state of confusion, the head of the Shangguan family put forward the idea of waiting for the two children to grow up, let them become husband and wife, and the two families would marry.
The head of the Kujou family was happy at the time, and when the meal was over, he hurriedly ran home to inform the little Kujou Yao at that time.
Unexpectedly, this Jiujo Yao was even happier than his father, and it was from then on that he was watching Shangguan Mengyao all day long.
Afterwards, the head of the Shangguan family also came to the head of the Kujou family again to explain his drunkenness at that time and asked him not to take it seriously, but the head of the Kujou family just smiled and didn't speak.
Now, Mengyao's father has passed away, and the position of the head of the family has been handed over to Shangguan Mengren, and the trivial matters of the year have long been not worth mentioning.
But Kujou Yao is still insisting on pursuing the girl he loves, and to this day.
After listening to her statement, Li Wuchang couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" Meng Yao asked incomprehensibly.
Li Wuchang looked at the street in front of him, and said with a smile:
"I just thought he was so funny."
He paused, then continued:
"That eldest young master has been chasing you for so many years, and not only did he not give up when you rejected him, but he also became more and more frustrated, which is also quite powerful."
Meng Yao pursed her lips:
"However, I don't like him at all, that unruly guy who has no one in his eyes, and I feel very uncomfortable with him."
"I've made it clear to this point, but he's still pestering me, what should I do......? Brother Impermanence, if there was a girl you weren't interested in chasing you like this for many years, what would you do to her? β
If this kind of ...... does not exist If a girl can like me, then I will more or less suspect that she has something wrong with her eyes, and she doesn't even have eyes...... He shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said in a slightly serious tone:
"If she truly loves me, then I will give her the same love in return...... I don't want to let down those who love me. β
Meng Yao was stunned, thinking about something in a daze.
Li Wuchang chuckled:
"Of course, that's just my case. As for the words of the eldest young master, if he is really that scoundrel, then you should just keep a normal heart and treat him. β
"You also said that he is actually a very kind person, but his personality is a little more straightforward, so he will not lose his temper with him."
Meng Yao nodded seriously:
"Hmm."
"Ignore him, Brother Impermanence, let's start today's trip."
