Chapter 153 Lantern Festival, Beitang Yi's Sweetheart (5)
In Yu Wei's opinion, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing, but Beitang Yi not only did it, but also did it in such a sensational way.
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced back and forth between the two of them, and she felt very complicated.
Originally, when seeing this scene, Yu Hua was just amazed and admired and didn't think much about anything else. However, Yu Wei's casual remark suddenly touched her heart.
She really liked white camellia, especially the golden silk snow cicada camellia with yellow stamens. The flowers were as plump as peonies and were her favorite.
Thinking of this, and looking at the flower in Beitang Yi's hand that was shining with a faint yellow halo, Yu Hua also felt that it was somewhat similar.
My heart suddenly jumped to my throat.
At this time, Beitang Yi also jumped down from a high place. This time, he did not fly on people's shoulders, but landed directly on the ground in the direction of Mu Lianzhi.
As soon as he moved, everyone unconsciously made way for him.
Seeing Beitang Yi about to leave, Yu Wei reacted and ran over while waving and pulling Yu Hua:
"Brother Beitang——"
As the crowd moved, Ying Feng and Ying Bei instinctively protected Mu Lianzhi and stepped back for fear of hurting her.
After walking through the crowd, Beitang Yi looked around and met Mu Lianzhi's gaze from a distance. Even through the distance and the veil, he knew that she was smiling.
He raised his foot and was about to turn around when suddenly a pink figure rushed over and grabbed his sleeve:
"Hey, Bei, Beitang Big Brother——"
Because of the fast speed, Yu Wei's body staggered as she dived down. When she stabilized herself, she gasped heavily. She smiled brightly, retracted her hand, and urged the other side:
"Sister, here."
Only then did they realize that Yu Hua had also arrived, and was standing a few steps away from them, with maids and guards following behind him, sparsely spaced at a distance. It was obvious that they had all run over in a panic.
It is not unusual for two people to come out to join in the fun during the Lantern Festival, but it is a bit difficult to describe the two women, the daughter of the prime minister and the crown princess, coming together.
When he suddenly saw the two people, Beitang Yi did not feel any joy, but rather felt unhappy about being disturbed.
He stepped back slightly to create some distance between himself and the two of them, then nodded and greeted them:
"Miss Three..."
On the other side, Mu Lianzhi saw this scene just as she was about to step forward. Reflexively, she turned her body to avoid it, winked at Beitang Yi, and made a secret gesture, and she was ready to retreat first.
He caught it out of the corner of his eye, but because Yu Hua and Yu Wei gathered in front of him and there were many spectators around, Beitang Yi was anxious but couldn't move.
Yingfeng and Yingbei looked at each other and subconsciously lowered their heads to reduce their presence.
Unexpectedly, Mu Lianzhi turned around and accidentally stepped on someone. Subconsciously, she lowered her head, squatted down, apologized, and deliberately lowered her voice:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I hope you can forgive me."
During the annual festival, people are crowded everywhere and some bumps and frictions are inevitable. On this day, people just want good luck and generally won’t be too fussy about it.
Unexpectedly, before she could straighten up, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her veil, frightening her so much that she fell back and took two steps back:
"what are you doing?"
When she looked up, she saw clearly that there were two young men in front of her. They were arm in arm, smelling of alcohol and dressed quite luxuriously. At this moment, the man who stretched out his hand squinted at her, and his eyes were obviously slanted in inquiry and scrutiny.
After looking at each other, the two men laughed at the same time:
"Young lady, you are all alone. Your apology doesn't seem very sincere. How can I forgive you if you don't even show your face?"
"That's right, why don't you take off your veil quickly! You are so shameful, could you have sneaked out from some brothel?"
"My shoes are made of fire-proof cloth worth thousands of gold. I usually don't want to take them out, but you have soiled them. How are you going to compensate me? Will you settle it privately or publicly?"
"If we settle it privately, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the compensation even if you lose everything. If we settle it publicly, with your small body, I don't know if you can come out alive in a place full of men. If you are still good-looking, since you didn't do it on purpose, why don't you just pledge yourself to me? The top girl in Qicai Building can sleep with this pair of shoes for seven days, it's really a bargain for you."
"Ha ha……"
The two of them chatted back and forth, and he looked at her with sneaky eyes from time to time. While talking, he tentatively moved forward. Several times, he showed signs of wanting to take action, either trying to lift her veil or to hook the mandarin duck lantern stick in her hand. He was so frivolous that he couldn't be more frivolous.
Mu Lianzhi dodged subconsciously, how could she not understand what the two were thinking.
These two scoundrels must have set their eyes on her when they were watching just now, because she was alone just now, with neither a maid nor Beitang Yi close to her.
Yingfeng and Yingbei had always kept their distance from her, and Beitang Yi was dealing with an acquaintance at the moment, so it was not convenient for them to come over, and she least wanted to make a big noise.
A shameless pair.
If there weren't so many people, she would have broken their hands and feet in other places.
"You two gentlemen are worrying too much. I happen to know the owner of the luggage and shoe shop. Whether it is fire-resistant cloth or the same shoes made of fire-resistant cloth, I can compensate this young master."
"Double or ten times is no problem."
"I wonder if this gentleman is satisfied. Do you want to send someone to get it now or leave your address so I can have someone send it to you?"
She casually pulled out a sign with the "Xiangbao Xiefang" logo and handed it over:
"This is the owner's badge. Take it and settle accounts with the owner at any time."
Mu Lianzhi thought that she would spend the money to avoid disaster and deal with it first, but she didn't expect the man to reach out and grab her wrist instead of taking the token:
"My dear, I know I was wrong. I will never sleep with prostitutes again. Let's go home."
"What are you doing? Let me go."
"Little sister, stop making trouble and go back with your brother-in-law."
Seeing the two men clamoring to use force, Mu Lianzhi's heart was really running wild:
The human trafficking has come to her, and the tactics are all the same.
On the other side, the few people exchanged a few pleasantries, and Yu Wei's eyes fell on the slightly shining white silk flower in Beitang Yi's hand:
"Brother Beitang, you are amazing. I haven't congratulated you on winning the Dragon Spirit Love Flower yet. You are going to give it to my sister..."
She murmured, and the word "sister" almost came out of her mouth. After a pause, she continued:
"This flower is whiter than snow and looks like a camellia. It is my sister's favorite. It is so beautiful and I like it too. Brother Beitang, this is a woman's ornament. Can you lend it to me for a few days? I will pass it on to whoever you want to give it to in the future."
She looked at Yu Hua several times with her eyes signaling, and stretched out her hand to take it. Just when her fingertips were about to touch it, Beitang Yi retracted his hand and dodged it directly. Then a white shadow flashed, and the next second, there was a "bang" sound.
