Bâtir une dynastie de chansons harmonieuse

Chapitre 7

Before he could finish speaking—

"I just like to think things through in the car."

It turned out he wasn't asleep at all.

Yang Nianqing was extremely embarrassed: "So all your inspiration comes from the carriage? What are you thinking?"

Those bright eyes, with an amused look, scrutinized her from head to toe for a full minute before suddenly narrowing, revealing countless mischievous smiles.

No way, he saw everything I did just now… Thinking of this, she felt even more guilty: “What are you thinking?”

He murmured, "I've been thinking about two things."

"What's up?"

“First thing,” he closed his eyes again, “should we switch to waterway for the next leg of the journey and take a boat?”

"Of course!" Yang Nianqing was overjoyed.

This damn carriage is so uncomfortable!

She coughed twice, concealing her relief: "I've been meaning to remind you. You see, they're also on a boat. That way, we can follow behind them more closely, keep an eye on what's going on over there, and it's more discreet on the boat..."

She racked her brains and listed all the advantages of traveling by boat that she knew. Li You merely glanced at her, offering no comment.

Yang Nianqing then remembered: "Then... what about the second one?"

"The second thing," he sighed, "is that some people are clearly not used to riding in carriages and are probably already in pain all over. I'm just wondering when she will say it."

"Holy crap!" Yang Nianqing was dumbfounded.

moment.

"You're deliberately messing with me!" A punch landed.

He leaned to the side, resting his head on his hand, a movement that seemed perfectly natural. However, the fist that was being thrown just barely grazed past his clothes.

She paused for a moment, then snorted coldly, ready to hit again.

"Wait," he suddenly waved his hand to stop her, "Do you think you can beat me?"

"Even if we can't beat them, we have to fight!" Another punch was thrown.

As expected, the fist just grazed his clothes again, making it seem as if her punch was inaccurate.

Li You looked at her, shook his head helplessly, and muttered, "Knowing you can't win but still fighting is not something a smart person should do."

"you!"

This time, he didn't even bother to avoid it; his long, bright eyes revealed an even greater sense of amusement.

A person inexplicably falls into this godforsaken place, where horses are everywhere, there's no toilet paper, no electricity at night, and they have to put up with all this mistreatment! Longing for the comforts of modern life, Yang Nianqing felt increasingly aggrieved and finally couldn't help but bury her head and wipe her eyes. Her mother must think she's dead…

The sobs grew louder and louder.

finally.

Li You sighed: "So, it turns out that it's not just beautiful and gentle women who cry."

She ignored her.

"If I keep crying, my eyes will look terrible," she murmured.

"What's it to you!"

"If others see this, they'll think I've changed my taste."

grade?

Yang Nianqing was furious and finally yelled, "Do you think I would want to be with a pervert!"

"Won't."

As soon as she finished speaking, a hand was stretched out in front of her, and on the long, clean fingers was a white silk handkerchief.

He blinked: "It'll look ugly if you cry again."

Yang Nianqing was stunned for a moment, then stubbornly refused to answer: "You went too far!"

"I went too far."

"You bastard."

He gave a wry smile: "I'm a bastard."

Seeing that he admitted it, Yang Nianqing couldn't help but chuckle inwardly: "You pervert!"

"Do we have to admit to this?"

"right!"

“When it comes to fighting with women, it’s always the man who suffers. I’m most afraid of women crying,” he said helplessly. “I’m a lecher, so stop crying.”

Yang Nianqing then wiped her eyes with satisfaction and reached out her hand. However, unexpectedly, she did not take the handkerchief but instead tightly gripped his arm.

"Hehe, try hiding again if you dare, I won't catch you!"

Li You was stunned.

Who said that a woman's tears are always the best weapon against a man?

Yang Nianqing was just playing around; after all, he was the "number one," and if he got serious, her little tricks wouldn't be enough to subdue him. She deliberately held up a fist in front of his nose, chuckling wickedly, "Hit his nose? You're so handsome; wouldn't it be a shame if I flattened your nose..."

Li You stared without blinking as the fist swayed back and forth in front of him.

After a while.

He finally sighed and said, "Women and petty men are the hardest to deal with. I should not have trusted women long ago."

"You only realize this now? It's too late," Yang Nianqing sneered, somewhat smugly. "To deal with a pervert, do you think you need a man instead of a woman? Idiot!"

“Wrong,” Li You said calmly, leaning back. “I’ve only misunderstood one thing.”

"What's up?"

"It turns out that it's not just pretty women who can lie."

After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Nianqing realized what was going on and stopped worrying about the handsome guy's nose. Without hesitation, she punched him and yelled, "Go to hell!"

The fist was about to strike that handsome face—

Suddenly, those long, bright eyes narrowed, and a radiant, captivating smile spread out, as mysterious as the Buddha holding up a flower, without a trace of malice.

Volume One: Why Look for a Reason? Half-Pound Killer

Author's Note: Updates at noon and evening. Thank you for your support :) Yang Nianqing felt a sudden numbness all over her body, and she couldn't even move a single finger! Her fist was frozen about five centimeters away from that handsome face, in a strange pose.

She was dumbfounded.

I really shouldn't have underestimated handsome men, especially men who can smile. I never imagined that there was this trick behind the smile... He was fantasizing about pressure point manipulation?

Li You seemed not to have moved at all, but rather examined the fist in front of him with interest, shaking his head and saying, "I didn't expect your hand to be much prettier than your face. It really shouldn't be used to hit people."

Indeed, Yang Nianqing was born with a pair of beautiful hands, which everyone praised. However, maintaining this strange posture, she couldn't feel proud at all, and only said irritably, "Why aren't you hitting me!"

“Many,” he muttered casually, leaning against the car wall, “For example, giving me a back massage, rubbing my shoulders…”

"Dream on!" she scoffed. "So you're that easy to fool. If I knew even a little bit of martial arts, you would have been defeated long ago!"

"It was precisely because you don't know martial arts that I was caught off guard." After saying this, Li You actually closed his eyes, looking as if he was about to go to sleep.

"Hey!" she cried, "Release my pressure points first!"

"I don't want to get beaten up."

"I'm not playing anymore."

Without opening his eyes, he said, "I can never believe a woman's words again."

"Seriously, I said I wouldn't fight, and I mean it. A gentleman's word is his bond... Hey, I said... Don't be so petty, it was just a joke, why take it so seriously..."

There was no movement.

The carriage continued to bump along, and with her body stiff and unable to move, Yang Nianqing felt extremely uncomfortable. Finally, her voice softened: "I'm sorry, it was my fault. Please release my pressure points, and I'll massage your back."

Sure enough, he opened his eyes: "Really?"

"Of course," everything can wait until the pressure points are released, it's so uncomfortable! "Who have I ever lied to?"

"So it wasn't you who lied just now?" Li You suppressed a laugh and closed his eyes again. "If I were to fall for the same trick a second time, I would truly be a fool."

"Hey, I really did cry just now, I was just joking with you, it wasn't entirely a lie, why are you being so petty... Hey, arguing with a woman like me, are you even a man...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the carriage swerved.

"ah--"

She immediately lost her balance and crashed headfirst into the opposite car wall!

The most tragic thing isn't getting a head injury, but knowing the consequences yet helplessly watching the tragedy unfold. Oh, my head! Even now, she still remembers hating the culprit—

"Li You, you bastard!"

As soon as she cried out, a strong hand grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from hitting the wall. Immediately, she felt her whole body relax and the stiffness disappeared.

"I didn't expect that acupuncture would make things even more complicated for me," he sighed. "Besides, that bastard wouldn't be so kind as to save you."

Yang Nianqing glared at her, about to speak.

But who knew—

He narrowed his eyes, suddenly lifted one of her feet, and before she could react, something had already broken through the curtain of the car door and flown out.

shoe!

She was dumbfounded.

Even stranger things happened next. With a shout of "Stop the carriage!", the person was already in his arms, and he jumped off the carriage.

“We’re not going any further,” Li You said to the driver with an honest smile. “Thank you for your trouble. You can go back now.”

"Not leaving?" Yang Nianqing was even more confused.

The elderly driver was clearly surprised as well. He looked around at the desolate landscape, then at the two young men, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled kindly: "Going back? You've already paid, so this old man will give you a ride home. It's all so wild and desolate here..."

Li You shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, you should hurry up and leave."
