He flipped her over and pinned her down. "Now...it's my turn to drive you crazy..."
He smiled mischievously.
Chapter 68 of "The Smiling Flower": A Hundred Kinds of Love
The bamboo forest in autumn is quiet and somewhat desolate.
Yan Minyu looked up at the azure sky above the slightly yellow bamboo forest.
The autumn sky… even in its beauty, it still left her bewildered. Could paradise truly lie within this clearest blue and purest white?
"Senior sister..."
Yuan Xun, who had been following behind her, called softly. She heard him but didn't turn around. Even a little boy like Yuan Xun could speak in such a deep tone? Everyone had changed in the past six months.
"After you've seen Xiaoyuan, come back to Phoenix City with me." Yuanxun wasn't in a hurry to catch up with her, but silently followed her, watching her melancholy figure.
She remained silent.
"Senior Sister!" Yuan Xun, with his quick temper, finally couldn't help but raise his voice, "You like him? Does he like you?! You wanted to leave, did he stop you? What a heartless beast! Senior Sister, let's go back, I'll find the best man in all of Western Xia to be your husband!"
Yan Minyu finally smiled. She knew "he" wasn't the best, even... But before she knew the truth, she had already fallen too deep. Actually, she should have walked away without looking back, and he wanted her to do the same. Could she? She wanted to try. After all, her love for him was torture for him too.
"Senior sister, Yuanxun!"
Is that light and cheerful voice really Xiao Yuan?
They both looked up in a daze as a petite figure in moon-white flew over in breathtaking beauty. So beautiful... Was that smiling, waving girl with a bright and cheerful face really their junior sister who always seemed to be burdened with worries and had a cold and aloof expression?
"Slow down!" A familiar pale blue figure followed her, scolding her in a low voice. The harsh words were filled with an intense, unyielding love.
"If I can't catch you, I'll make you furious!"
She smiled, and the golden autumn light accentuated her stunning beauty, making her radiance almost blinding.
“Xiao Yuan…” Yuan Xun stared blankly.
She blossomed from a shy little bud into the most beautiful and charming flower!
"In two more months, I'll catch up with you, and I'll spank you every day!"
Yan Minyu looked at Yi Chunjun's feigned anger, his eyes, the way he looked at Xiao Yuan... Perhaps, she should find a man who could look at her like that. Her eyes stung.
Xiao Yuan stopped and looked at his senior sister, whom he hadn't seen for several months, with some surprise. Her once clear and lively eyes were now filled with gloom, and the brilliance of the sun had dissipated into a thick fog. What happened to her?
Doesn't Hang Yisu love her very much?
Because of her, Hang Yisu even betrayed Xiao Juyuan.
Yi Chunjun stopped behind her, looking at Yan Minyu with some pity, his eyes full of knowing helplessness.
"Let's go see our two senior masters first," he sighed softly.
"Xiao Jun—Xiao Jun—"
The woman who shouted was skilled, but her level of skill was far inferior. Her telepathic ability, though relying on profound internal energy, didn't travel very far, but it was loud and not lingering. While it might seem powerful in terms of momentum, it was actually a manifestation of inferior internal energy.
Everyone was somewhat surprised by the sudden shout. Just as they were about to ask Yi Chunjun, who was frowning, the person had already arrived.
She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties, with naturally cheerful and lively eyes that curved upwards.
Yi Chunjun sighed, looking at her with annoyance, "Aren't you afraid my master will hear you and run away if you shout so loudly?"
"I'm not afraid." The woman laughed, pretending to cover her mouth with her sleeve. "I've also come to see you and your little wife. And... Master Zhu, who's been praised like a flower."
With a headache, Yi Chunjun pointed at her and said to Xiao Yuan, "This is Xiao Ji, the beautiful Xiao Ji you're looking for."
Xiao Yuan was taken aback and looked straight at her again.
Is she really Xiao Ji, the one who fell in love with Gao Tianjing, betrayed him, and betrayed her parents? For so many years, she had always thought that Xiao Ji had suffered terribly because she hadn't been able to ask her master for help to save her, and that she must be living in hell.
Unexpectedly...
"Come on, come on, come on, let's go see the handsome men first." Xiao Ji said with a beaming smile, forgetting all pretense of elegance and revealing a set of white teeth. Without needing anyone to call her, she hurriedly ran into the bamboo forest. "Xiao Jun, how does your Uncle Zhu look compared to you?" As she passed by Yi Chun Jun, she smiled and hooked her arm around his neck, pulling him along as if they were very intimate, but her arm was actually quite tight.
"Gently, gently." Although Yi Chunjun scolded her, he obediently let her pull him along. "He's even more handsome than Master."
"Really? Really?" Xiao Ji quickened her pace.
"Didn't you want to see my wife? Let go, let go, how am I supposed to maintain my husbandly authority like this?" Yi Chunjun pulled her arm, mostly jokingly. If he wanted to break free, even ten Xiao Jis couldn't catch him.
"Oh dear! There's a difference between urgent and urgent matters. Do you think your wife can run away? You still think you're the boss! Xiao Jun, I predicted this long ago. You'd either be a bachelor for life, bullying women, just like your good-for-nothing master. Or you'd be no better once you got a wife, only able to let her bully you. Isn't that right, little beauty?" She had already pulled Yi Chun Jun away from Xiao Yuan and the others, so she shouted loudly, "Little beauty, isn't it fun and satisfying to bully handsome men? Especially a slippery little handsome guy like Xiao Jun?"
Xiao Yuan chuckled softly. The fact that Xiao Ji, whom she had worried and troubled for ten years, turned out to be such a person made her heart feel lighter. The remaining gloom was only about Xiao Juyuan.
Smiling, she walked over, took her senior sister's hand with one hand and Yuanxun's hand with the other, and they walked together toward the study.
She noticed her senior sister looking at Xiao Ji's back with envy.
"What's wrong?" she asked with some concern. This time when they met, her senior sister's eyes always made her heart ache.
"I also want to be that kind of free and easy woman." Yan Minyu smiled bitterly.
Before even reaching the hermitage, one could already hear Xiao Ji's loud laughter.
Her laughter made everyone smile.
