Questions sur les chansons d'amour - Chapitre 37
"I will marry you," the little guy said in a serious voice.
"Ha! Marry me? How old are you? How old am I? Besides, don't you know I'm a man?"
"It's okay, at worst I'll just have to make do. Besides, marrying a male concubine isn't bad either." The little guy's voice was thoughtful, unaware that his words had revealed something.
With a loud "bang," the little one screamed, "Why did you hit me again?! You...you murdered your husband!"
A voice that was both laughing and crying: "You brat, listen to me! If you don't behave, I'll hang you in this woodshed all night, and then starve you for a whole day. Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense then!"
"Waaah, I won't do it again, please forgive me, brother."
"So obedient?" he asked skeptically.
"Mmm." A very firm voice, sweet in its tone: "From now on, I will definitely listen to my brother. Whatever my brother tells me to do, I will do. If anyone dares to bully my brother, I will definitely avenge him... Ah... Brother, you hit me again, boohoo..."
"Alright, that's enough. You brat, stop acting in front of me. Do you think I can't see through you? I've been using these tricks since I was four. I'm even more of a genius than you in this area."
"Hehe. Brother is so amazing!"
"Of course. If you want to follow me, you'd better be smart and stop trying to outsmart me. Otherwise, you might end up being outsmarted by me, and I won't hold back then." The voice was smug yet laced with warning.
"I know, I know, no, no, Xiao Zheng will definitely listen to his brother." He smiled.
"Hey, Little Mud..."
"My name is Xiao Zheng." (Correction)
"I know your name is Xiao Zheng." An impatient tone: "Xiao Ni, since you're being so good, go eat first. After you're done, let Brother Jin take you to rest. I'm leaving now, bye!"
The room was silent. Jin San heard the gang leader's footsteps approaching the door and hurriedly opened the wooden door.
"﹏﹏Um, brother, what does 'bai' mean?" Xiao Zheng's voice was slow and hesitant.
The boy paused at the door, turned around, and said with a smile, "I mean, you'll definitely admire me."
Jin San's lips twitched. He glanced at Xiao Zheng, who was smiling sweetly in the woodshed, and felt utterly overwhelmed.
He followed the boy for a few steps and couldn't help but say, "Chief, this kid's background seems to be extraordinary. Moreover, judging from his slippery and elusive nature, he probably won't be easily convinced. He's likely only thinking about scheming against you for revenge."
"I know," the boy said with a smile.
"Know?"
"Hmm." The boy nodded, his smile ethereal and dreamlike: "Having more games is not bad. I really want to see if he has the ability to scheme against me."
Chapter 90 Crossdressing
I lazily stayed in bed early this morning, not wanting to get up, but I just couldn't fall asleep. I stared wide-eyed at the carved canopy ceiling, counting the cloud patterns.
One, two, three ﹏﹏
A deafening banging sound erupted at the door. Through the ink-wash screen, a tiny child kicked open the door and rushed in, their angry voice tinged with a sharp, childlike tone.
"Brother, why are they making me wear such ugly clothes? I don't want to wear them, I'd rather die than wear them... Ah! -- You, you, are you my sister?"
The screams suddenly stopped. A beautiful, delicately carved doll with large, glassy eyes and long, fluttering eyelashes stared straight at me. A beautiful silver hoop held back her messy, dark hair. Her face was clean and rosy, her skin smooth and delicate. She wore an expensive silk brocade robe, only half-worn, with one hand still tugging at the hem, as if she couldn't wait to take it off.
"Xiao Zheng." Zi Ru, soaked and disheveled, walked behind him, looking somewhat annoyed.
Following closely behind, Ru Ying pursed her lips, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on her cool lips.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" I was startled. I rubbed my forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Please, can you not disturb me so early in the morning?
"Qingyan, look at this brat you brought back! He's a complete mess, a little beggar! Yesterday was fine, he just washed up and went to sleep, but today he stubbornly refuses to tie his hair up, and he absolutely refuses to wear these clothes. He even knocked over the basin of water I was supposed to use to wash his face, making a huge mess of Ziyan Pavilion. Qingyan, all the colorful lanterns you specially made for me last time are ruined! He…"
As Zi Ru spoke, her eyes turned red, indicating that she was truly furious.
I looked at Xiao Zheng, and before I could even speak, he grinned and leaned closer: "Wow, so you're my older sister! Why did you lie to me? It's good that you're my older sister. I want to marry you, then Mother... won't have any reason to object, hehe, that's great! Sister, your dress is so pretty, I want to wear it too!"
On the wall opposite the carved bed, a bronze mirror stood quietly on the dressing table. In the mirror, a young girl with a serene expression leaned against the headboard. The silk quilt had slipped down to her waist; her short, boyish hair, usually tied up high, was now disheveled, highlighting her delicate face, pointed chin, and slightly upturned nose that exuded a charming cuteness. Her cherry-red lips were slightly parted, like the most beautiful flower petals. A pure white silk robe draped loosely over her body, unable to conceal the slight rise and fall of her chest and her graceful figure.
The girl in the mirror and I looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing across our expressions.
Even though I've been here for so many days, I still feel a little unaccustomed to seeing myself in ancient costume in the mirror.
Just like my older sister always says about me, I'm incorrigible.
Xiao Zheng looked at me with a smile, talking to himself as he climbed onto the bed. He had only climbed halfway when a firm and strong arm reached out from the side, grabbed him by the collar, and threw him off.
It was Jin San. I didn't know when he had come in. He was standing next to Ru Ying, but his eyes were lowered, and he looked a little embarrassed. He was probably a little ashamed to see me like this. I couldn't help but glance at myself in the mirror again. There was nothing wrong with me. My clothes were neat and there wasn't a bit of exposed skin.
Xiao Zheng, who had fallen to the ground, let out a miserable scream, got up with a long face, and looked at me pitifully. His big, bright eyes blinked, making him look innocent and cute.
I chuckled.
Chapter 91 Performance
She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again, furious: "What are you doing so early in the morning? You've made such a mess of Ziyan Pavilion! Huh? And do you know how long I spent making that lantern for Ziru last time? And you dared to ruin it? Huh?—"
The more I talk about it, the angrier I get. I got stood up yesterday. That damn master promised to go and steal my bride, but I couldn't find him during the day or even at night. I'm already seething with anger, and now he dares to mess with me? Huh?
Little Zheng looked at my expression, shrank back, and looked even more pitiful: "Sister..."
"You don't like wearing this outfit, huh? Fine, then don't wear it. Ruying—" I yelled.
