She was also getting restless, feeling that Fu Lang hadn't returned yet, and that she and this young girl were staring at each other like fighting cocks, which was really silly.
She got up and went to Xia Yuelan's side, then looked up at the night sky and found it was covered with dark clouds. "Is it really going to rain?" she couldn't help but wonder.
The night sky was filled with rolling dark clouds, making it impossible to see the moon and stars at all.
Xia Yuelan raised a finger, pointing to the corner of her mouth: "I grew up in Anjun, and I've never seen weather like this on the night of the Lantern Festival. I don't think so, right?"
"I'd better go to the city to look for her." Murong Die really didn't want to continue being a cockfighting brute here. If I just stare at this little girl here, will Fu Lang just go back to the brothel and wait for me?
Thinking about it that way, she realized it wasn't impossible. "I'm leaving!" she shouted, rushing out of the inn and heading towards the city gate. Xia Yuelan was furious that Butterfly Girl would leave so suddenly.
I've waited so long, hoping my senior brother would come back and we could see what would happen next. Now that you've left, there's no going back?
Butterfly Girl, please don't go! If you leave, Xiao Ye won't be able to handle her senior brother at all.
Xia Yuelan felt that she had waited for nothing. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have preferred to go back to sleep like her senior sister did from the beginning.
Following the text, Xia Yuelan wondered if her senior sister already knew that waiting like this would be fruitless. Xia Yuelan wasn't sure, because her senior sister was indeed quite clever and might have known all along.
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye!" Xia Yuelan rushed back, leaning on the octagonal table, looking at Xiao Ye, "What exactly happened? How did you end up bumping into Butterfly Girl? Weren't you going shopping with your senior brother tonight?"
Xiaoye pursed her lips and muttered, "My brother stayed with me for half the time, then lied to me and said he had a surprise for me, so he went to stay with her. Then he had to send me back so he could stay with her again."
Xia Yuelan looked up and imagined herself as Xiaoye: "Ah... that's pretty infuriating."
He couldn't help but look at Qiu Ying again: "Sister Qiu Ying, is our senior brother really that close to the Butterfly Matchmaker Heroine? They've even gone shopping together."
Looking at the innocent and naive Miss Yue Lan, Qiu Ying wanted to say that it was far more than just "shopping." Xiao Ye also knew that her brother and that Butterfly Heroine had long been entangled in an ambiguous relationship.
The thought of how, at Guanxianlou, she had offered to help her brother eat, but he had stopped her was unbearable.
She was a little suspicious that her brother had already done something with that woman earlier, and she stood up sullenly: "I'm going back to rest first." Xiaoye walked towards the backyard.
Xia Yuelan hesitated, wondering whether to stay with Xiao Ye or stay and help Sister Qiu Ying close the door. In that moment of hesitation, Xiao Ye had already walked to the back.
"Senior brother is really asking for trouble!" Xia Yuelan exclaimed, turning to walk to the gate and looking up at the layers of dark clouds in the night sky. "May he be struck by lightning!"
Qiu Ying walked over and picked up the door panel that was standing upright next to him: "Is it really going to rain?!"
There really were lights flickering back and forth among the dark clouds.
Fu Hailou whispered many sweet words to Sister Xianrui.
The night before last, there was a crisis and no time to say sweet words. Tonight is the real time for our love to blossom. As a man, I should take responsibility for saying sweet words.
"You're making it sound so nice, meow, but who knows if it's true?" Li Xianrui said softly as she fed him, hugging his waist with both hands and acting coquettishly.
Even knowing that men's words are often deceitful, she was still being swayed by his sweet talk. "Of course it's true!"
Although Fu Hai was a model young man who upheld the five virtues and four beauties, he also fully displayed his talent as a novelist at this moment, saying, "In my heart, Sister Xianrui, you are the best."
Li Xianrui pressed her face against his chest happily: "In that case, have you said that to other girls too, meow? I think your junior sister, the female knight you met tonight, and that other girl are all quite pretty, meow."
The woman said this on purpose to elicit more sweet words from the man in order to coax him. Even if Fu Hai hadn't known this before, it was a natural progression at this moment.
"In my opinion, no woman in the world is as beautiful as you, Sister Xianrui. You are the only one in my heart. I swear, if I'm lying, may God strike me with lightning right now."
boom!
A loud boom echoed outside. Xue Fang struck down.
Chapter 174 Look! Even the heavens are going to strike you down!
Fu Hai was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed.
If he had looked out the window earlier, he would have seen that the sky was already overcast, and thunder and rain were quite normal. But he was inside, embracing Xianrui in a loving and tender embrace; how could he have had time to look out the window?
In his mind, the weather around the Anjun Lantern Festival was always good, at least since he transmigrated to this world. He never expected that a philosophical thought tonight would be followed by such a sudden bolt from the blue.
This cry of "Lu Lu" seemed to shake the entire world, followed immediately by a torrential downpour. In the lobby on the first floor, Xia Yuelan had originally intended to rush out and bring in the lanterns from outside.
Unexpectedly, the heavy rain soaked her entire upper body. "Never mind them!" Qiu Ying grabbed the door panel. "Close the door first." Xia Yuelan quickly turned back and helped Qiu Ying close the door.
As the planks were being installed, a sudden downpour, accompanied by a strong wind, swept into the room, extinguishing the candles on the table instantly. Fortunately, the gas lamp hanging on the wall was still lit.
The two men carefully erected the planks one by one and secured them with horizontal bolts. Only then did the noise outside quiet down.
"It really rained heavily?" Xia Yuelan exclaimed in surprise. "It has never rained during the Lantern Festival before."
Qiu Ying, being a non-local, wasn't as surprised as Xia Yuelan. She relit the candle on the table with a flint and turned to Xia Yuelan: "You should go change your clothes."
Xia Yuelan looked down and saw that a lot of rainwater was hitting her full chest, making her breasts stand out. "Ah, I'm going to change my clothes." She ran to the backyard.
The backyard, with its two bungalows on either side and the storage room at the back, forms a square open space, which is now being flooded with rainwater.
Xia Yuelan ran towards her room, only to see flickering lightning illuminating the rain in a white haze. She had a good attitude; although the rain came unexpectedly, she didn't think it looked bad.
"If my senior brother were on the road, he'd probably be soaked to the bone," she muttered gloatingly. "Serves him right for not coming back sooner."
Fu Hai came out of the dormitory and went to the lobby.
The three carved doors facing the balcony have openwork above them, allowing cool air to flow in from the outside.
He was naked, and opened the three doors a crack, staring dumbfounded at the torrential rain outside. Could it be?
Just because of my one sentence, Old Guan actually brought down thunder, and even caused a downpour during the Lantern Festival, which never rains.
In his previous life, Fu Hai had received a materialistic and atheistic education and was originally unafraid of ghosts and gods. However, after discovering that even the beings in this world could speak, he became less materialistic.
At this moment, seeing that his words had summoned lightning, thunder, and a raging storm, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. He quietly clicked on the Butterfly Girl's "spy" window to take a look.
They discovered that Miss Butterfly had returned to the city sometime earlier.
She was just slipping into a shop to take shelter from the rain. Fortunately, it was already late at night and there were hardly any people on the street.
Many of the lanterns at the shop entrance were damaged, but the Lantern Festival was over, so these lanterns weren't of much use anyway. He closed the "spy" window and turned around.
A flash of lightning revealed a snow-white face before him, startling him into a cold sweat.
Li Xianrui covered the blanket to her chest, looked outside, and then looked up at the boy who was staring at her and seemed guilty.
She covered her chest with the blanket, shielding her delicate body, and covered his ear with the other: "You still say you only have me in your heart, meow? Look, even the heavens are going to strike you down with lightning. You better tell me honestly, who else is in your heart, meow?"
"Hey, hey, Fairy Cat Sister, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
The boy's ears hurt from her pulling. "It's just a coincidence. It just happened to be thundering outside at that moment. It's not my fault, meow."
"Isn't it supposed to never rain during the Lantern Festival in your An County, meow?" "I... I don't know either, meow." The boy stubbornly insisted.
Just because of one sentence he uttered, the heavens sent down lightning, thunder, and torrential rain.
Is God just too idle?
Li Xianrui, being a non-local, at most thought the legend that the Anjun Lantern Festival was always blessed with good weather was a bit of an exaggeration. After all, it's like the saying goes, "If it rains, it rains; if a mother marries, she marries," and no deity seems to have issued any heavenly decrees about dragon kings, water gods, or wind gods causing trouble around the Anjun Lantern Festival.
Bo Yushi was not allowed to send rain.
But that didn't stop her from using the situation to her advantage.
She held the boy's ear and said, "Look at meow, people are talking, but heaven is watching. You said you only have me in your heart, meow, and the moment you said that, heaven struck you down, meow."
"Tell me honestly, who else is on your mind, meow? As long as you tell me honestly, no one will blame you, meow." The boy wasn't stupid.
If I were to tell the truth, I wouldn't just be struck by God, but also by Fairy Cat Sister. I hurriedly hugged Fairy Cat Sister, coaxing and deceiving her, and uttering many sweet words.
Although Sister Xianrui is known as a talented woman, matters of love and romance always make people lose their heads.
Besides, I gave him my whole body, and tonight he took all sorts of embarrassing positions. In the end, I had no choice but to forgive him!
As dawn approached, Li Xianrui finally managed to remove the cat demon stone from her body. This meant she no longer needed to meow, much to someone's great disappointment.
"What kind of expression is that, meow!" Li Xiandi snuggled up in bed with him and pinched his cheek. Although the cat demon stone had been removed, she had gotten used to being with him.
The rain outside was heavy, and it only began to subside a little by dawn. Even though it was raining, she didn't know when her three junior sisters would return.
But as soon as it was light, Fu Hai grabbed his clothes, jumped off her balcony, and braved the rain, running through the back of the bungalow in the backyard and rushing up the mountain.
The rain pelted him, chilling him to the bone. It was already autumn, and this heavy rain had brought the weather down very quickly. Reaching the mountainside, he glanced back outwards.
In the midst of the rain, a desolate scene unfolded, suddenly plunging the bustling Anjun of the past few days into a state of utter desolation, as if submerged by a tidal wave. Upon returning to the courtyard and entering the room, he was astonished to find someone lying on his bed.
It turned out that Xiaoye was sleeping in his bed, facing the wall and with her back to the door, wearing the beautiful butterfly hair ornament that her brother had given her the night before.
At this moment, he actually felt guilty. He washed himself outside in the rain, changed into a dry long shirt next door, and then slipped back into his room.
"Xiao Ye!" He got into bed and lay down behind Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye hugged her pillow, curled up, and ignored him.
"It's my fault!" Fu Hai hadn't expected that she would be waiting for him in his room. He felt extremely guilty.
Fu Hai followed behind, holding Xiao Ye in his arms and gently comforting her. After a while, Xiao Ye turned around, resting her forehead against his chest. Fu Hai held her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ye asked softly, "If you marry Miss Murong in the future, and she wants to drive me away... Brother, will you abandon me?" Fu Hai suddenly realized.
For Xiaoye, this was always her biggest worry.
With a determined look, he suddenly hugged Xiaoye tightly, holding her close: "If I said that I want both you and Miss Die, I won't refuse Miss Die, and I will absolutely, absolutely not let you leave, Xiaoye, would you be angry?"
Xiaoye said, "Me."
Fu Hai was unusually firm: "Even if you're angry, I won't let you leave."
Chapter 175 In my heart, the most important person is my younger sister.
"I... I didn't say I was leaving."
Her brother's strong, unyielding arms made Xiaoye blush, her forehead pressed against his chest, her petite body feeling warm. "As long as I can be your sister... I'll be content."
Fu Hai held Xiao Ye in his arms: "I'll talk to Miss Die about your matter today. But no matter what she thinks, I won't let you leave... Is that alright?"
What happened last night made him realize that things couldn't continue like this.
Sister Butterfly comes over often, and Xiaoye can't stay in the mountains forever. They'll inevitably run into each other frequently; they can't be allowed to argue every day. The main reason Xiaoye targets Sister Butterfly is because she doesn't trust her; she feels that once Sister Butterfly becomes her sister-in-law, she'll drive her away.
go.
He felt that, as a man, he could no longer run away.
Xiao Ye, who has long since lost all kin and friends in this world, is like a drifting duckweed.
She wanted a home where she could settle down and take root, and Fu Hai was willing to be that "root," so she wouldn't have to wander anymore... Don't try to find out, this is just a metaphor.
