Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 17 Cousin Tingzhou Don't Laugh at Me

Wei Yan withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Just change to another one."

It was just a kite, and in Wei Feng's eyes, it was no different from other kites.

Su Xi held the skeleton of the kite and said nothing, it's natural to change it, but it's not the one that the elder brother gave to Su Baiyu.She thought of Su Baiyu's baby look when he was holding the kite, and the little excitement that Su Baiyu couldn't restrain when he was flying the kite. Besides, she was the one who proposed to take Su Baiyu to fly the kite. Now that the kite is broken, she is also half responsible.

Su Xi looked at the broken wings, and only two bamboo strips were broken. If these two bamboo strips were replaced with other bamboo strips, the kite might be able to fly again.But how to replace it?Although she liked to fly kites in her previous life, she never repaired kites.

Su Xi subconsciously looked at Wei Feng at the side. Wei Feng was tall and erect, with cold eyes and a chess piece between his two fingers, and was about to drop a chess piece in the center of the chessboard.His fingers are long and beautiful, with distinct joints. I wonder if he can repair kites?
Then she thought that he had stood by and watched her many times, it was really unreasonable, even the last time he helped her get the books in the Tibetan scripture pavilion, it was also to make fun of her embarrassment when she was a child, Su Xi had to give up this thought.That's all... It's better to count on the second brother than to count on Wei Feng's help.

Su Xi decided to ask her second brother to help repair it after she went back. Holding the kite in both hands, she said to Wei Feng, "Thank you cousin Tingzhou today, I'm going back to the other courtyard first."

Wei Feng finally looked at her again, without any emotion in his eyes, he just said, "You're welcome."

Su Xi walked out of the octagonal pavilion.Ting Yan was waiting outside the pavilion, and when she saw her come out, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Girl, shall we go back?" Although this place is not far from the other courtyard, and Ting Yan himself has the skills to be there, there is no guarantee that there will be no It's dangerous, if you encounter some kind of jackal, tiger or leopard, it will be terrible.

Su Xi nodded and said, "Go back."

After walking two steps, she held up the kite, looked at it, and muttered, "Sister Yanyan, do you think this wing can still be repaired?"

Ting Yan took a closer look and said, "It should be repairable."

Su Xi was a little relieved.It is located in the middle of the mountain, surrounded by lush forests, the trees are dense, and the road is rugged, which is very difficult to walk.Ting Yan followed Su Xi every step of the way, always paying attention to the surrounding situation, and took note of the way back as he walked.

After walking for a short time, I felt that the trees in front of me were getting denser and denser, and the light above my head was much dimmed. When I looked up, the branches and leaves were thick, which seemed to block out the sky.She turned to Ting Yan and said, "Sister Ting Yan, follow closely."

Listening to the geese following, the more they walked, the more they felt something was wrong. They didn't seem to have walked this way when they came, "Girl, did we go the wrong way..."

Su Xi also noticed the strangeness. They were clearly going down the mountain, but why did they seem to be walking deep into the woods... She stopped in her tracks, with anxiety flashing across her eyes, and said to Ting Yan, "Sister Ting Yan, let's go back Bar……"

Hearing the goose say yes, he walked back along the way he came.

Listening to the geese carefully, he made marks along the way. Every 25 steps, he used stones to carve a mark on the tree. It is best not to get lost.But for some reason, they clearly walked back along the mark, and after walking around, they found that they had returned to the same place.

A trace of panic flashed across Su Xi's face, she turned around to look for Ting Yan, and said in disbelief, "How could it be..."

Ting Yan forced himself to calm down, but instead comforted Su Xi: "Girl, don't be afraid, maybe I made a mistake just now, let's go again."

Su Xi nodded, walking more cautiously this time.

However, a quarter of an hour later, the two still stood in place again.

Su Xi couldn't calm down this time. Who would have thought that there is a maze in the seemingly normal forest?No matter how strong her physical strength was, her legs were a little sore right now, but she didn't dare to sit down and rest.If you can't get out of the woods, and it's even more impossible to go out after dark, it means you have to spend the night here.

Although Su Xi's previous life was unsatisfactory, she didn't suffer much. In this life, she was spoiled and pampered. Why did she ever spend the night outside?Thinking of this made her even more anxious, she took Ting Yan's hand, pointed in another direction, and said: "We haven't walked that road yet, Sister Ting Yan, try that road again, maybe you can get out Woolen cloth?"

Ting Yan disagreed, and persuaded: "That road leads to the depths of the woods. If we go deeper, girl, wouldn't it be even harder for us to come back?"

Su Xi thought so too, they might be found by people from other courtyards if they stayed where they were, but if they went deeper, they would never be able to find them.There were tears in her big watery eyes, but she tried not to let them fall. She wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers and comforted herself: "Second brother will definitely come to us."

Listening to Yan Yan followed up and said yes, but he was not sure in his heart.

The sun gradually rose to the top of the head, and it was about noon. The two of them walked along the mark twice, but the result was still the same.Su Xi clutched her stomach, her eyes dimmed from hunger, she vaguely saw a person walking towards her, wearing a green lotus-colored brocade robe, with a tall figure and a beautiful appearance.Maybe she was dizzy from hunger, Su Xi thought to herself, why did she see Wei Feng?
But Wei Yan really stood in front of her, bent down to pick up the kite she had put on the ground, and met her round almond eyes widened in surprise, "People can't get out, you still carry this broken kite with you all the time." ?”

Su Xi didn't care about Wei Yan's tone at all, and asked in disbelief, "Cousin Tingzhou... why are you here?"

Wei Feng looked at her, the tears were still on the little girl's face, she must have cried just now.He straightened up, took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve, put it in Su Xi's hand, picked up the kite and walked ahead, "There is a maze in this forest, follow my footprints, don't take extra steps."

Su Xi hurriedly followed, "How does Cousin Tingzhou know I'm here?"

Wei Yan kept walking and said, "There are signs on the road."

In this regard, Wei Yan had no choice but to praise Su Xi's girl for being smart.

Su Xi said "Oh", and followed behind him step by step.

Su Xi opened the oiled paper bag, and there were several pieces of whole emerald jade bean cakes lying inside. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Wei Yan prepared it on purpose or if it was just a coincidence.After such a short time, Wei Wei had gone far away, she hurriedly chased after him, "Brother Tingzhou, wait for me."

Wei Wei turned around, and saw the little girl holding the Jade Bean Cake was carefully stepping on his footsteps step by step, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and a smile flashed in her eyes.When Su Xi came to him, he said, "There's no rush, I'll leave after you finish eating."

Su Xi opened her eyes, surprised that Wei Feng was so considerate.

Wei Yan seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, his lips curved slightly, and he didn't speak.

The next moment, Su Xi's stomach groaned very appropriately, not loudly, but enough for the two of them to hear, as if it was a coincidence to respond to Wei Yan's words.Su Xi has a thin skin and is prone to blush. Once she blush, she can't control it. Now her face is as red as a red apple, burning to the back of her ears, so cute.

Su Xi explained: "I have walked a lot..."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows.

Su Xi pursed her lips, and said, "I didn't have lunch either."

Wei Yan continued to look at her without saying a word.

Su Xi was finally discouraged, and said the truth: "Cousin Tingzhou, don't make fun of me."

Wei Yan looked at her, immediately smiled lowly, turned around and continued walking, and said after a while: "Let's go."

Su Xi returned to the gazebo halfway up the mountain again.

When Su Zhi brought someone to find her, she was already so tired that she fell asleep lying on the stone table, covered with Wei Yan's ink-colored embroidered persimmon stalk pattern cloak.

Su Zhi strode forward, cupped his hands to Wei Wei and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for saving my little sister." Su Zhi had already heard the general idea from his servants on the way here.

Wei Yan stood up and said, "It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."

But Su Zhi said sincerely: "Young Master Wei, you are welcome. I will take my younger sister to the Jin Palace to thank you someday." As he spoke, his gaze shifted and landed on Su Xi, but he froze when he saw the cloak on her body .

Wei Yan's face remained the same, "It's windy on the mountain, Cousin Xi can easily catch cold when she falls asleep."

Seeing Wei Feng's frank expression, Su Zhi knew that he was overthinking, and thanked Wei Feng again, before hugging Su Xi.

Su Xi fell into a deep sleep, and even though she was not awakened like this, she must be very familiar with Su Zhi's embrace. She burrowed into Su Zhi's embrace, and subconsciously hugged him tightly with both hands, like a wronged cat finally found her. After returning to the nest, he muttered: "Second brother..."

Su Zhi rubbed her head with one hand, and said, "Second brother is here."

She felt relieved and fell asleep again.

Su Zhi took Su Xi back to the other courtyard.Maybe it was because of being worried and tired this time, Su Xi slept for a full day and night after returning, and woke up the next day to find herself lying on the canopy bed, and only then did she know that she had returned.

Su Xi recalled what happened yesterday, and finally woke up suddenly. Su Baiyu's kite was still with Wei Feng. She fell asleep yesterday and forgot to take it back!
I'm going back home today, Su Xi doesn't know where Wei Feng lives, so she can't find him.Just when he didn't know how to explain it to Su Baiyu, he heard Yan come in and say, "Girl, there is someone outside begging to see you."

Su Xi washed up and walked towards the hall, where stood a man wearing a black cloth shirt and dressed as a servant.The man bowed to her, and said: "Miss Nine, Master Shizi ordered the villain to return the things you left behind yesterday."

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that it was probably Su Baiyu's kite.When the attendant handed the kite up, she took it without thinking, "Please tell me what happened yesterday, thank you cousin Tingzhou."

The entourage responded, said goodbye and left.

When Su Xi returned to the house, she remembered that the kite that was broken yesterday hadn't been mended yet, and Su Baiyu would have to get up in a while, so she hurriedly brought the kite over, looked at it, and asked in surprise, "Huh?"

The eagle wing that was originally broken has been repaired at this time, and it looks the same as before.
