After leaving Wujia Lane, Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen walked side by side, and the two walked together in the direction of Baoan Hall. Bai Suzhen saw that Xiaoqing was silent and unhappy all the time, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly. Finally, she couldn't help but stop, hold Xiaoqing, and whispered: "Qing'er, what are you thinking about? Why don't you say anything?"
"Oh... nothing." Xiaoqing responded absentmindedly, twisting her hands together in annoyance. She felt uncomfortable whenever she thought of Xu Xian going to Bao'an Hall soon. Seeing how lost Xu Xian looked when he stared at her sister today, she knew without a doubt that he still had feelings for her sister. Originally, according to Xiaoqing's personality, she wanted to help Xu Xian open a medicine shop and end everything, but her sister insisted on helping Xu Xian become a famous doctor before leaving. In this way, she would inevitably meet Xu Xian, the nerd, in the future. Xiaoqing made up her mind that as long as Xu Xian was honest and served as her doctor, everything would be fine. If he dared to be restless, she would not be polite to him.
"Really?" Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and said nothing, "It's okay. Let's go." In fact, Bai Suzhen knew that Xiaoqing was feeling awkward about something, but she had to repay Xu Xian's kindness, so she could only let Xiaoqing down for the time being.
"Qing'er, look, there are so many people gathered in front, and I don't know what they are doing. Let's go over and take a look." Bai Suzhen looked up and saw a lot of people gathered around a high platform, which seemed very lively. She wanted to take the opportunity to break the silence, so she suggested, but Xiaoqing looked listless. She only took a look and said without interest:
"What's so interesting about it? It's nothing more than some wandering people performing tricks to make money, attracting some bored people to watch and make a fuss."
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and said with a smile: "You know so much! Well, if you don't want to go, stay here, I'll go by myself." After saying this, Bai Suzhen really walked towards the crowd alone. Bai Suzhen didn't like to join in the fun. She did this just to divert Xiaoqing's attention and stop her from thinking too much. Then she wouldn't be so depressed. Bai Suzhen pretended to ignore Xiaoqing, but secretly paid attention to the movements behind her. Not far away, she heard footsteps following behind her. Bai Suzhen raised her lips, and a gentle smile appeared on her face that she herself had not noticed.
"Why go somewhere else but into a crowded place? Aren't you afraid of being squeezed?" Xiaoqing complained, but rushed forward to protect Bai Suzhen and cleared the way for her: "Hey, move aside... and stand a little further away." All those who were blocking the way were pushed aside by Xiaoqing. Those people were watching the excitement and were suddenly pushed by someone. They felt unhappy and turned around to curse. However, before they could curse, they saw a woman who looked like a fairy behind them, smiling and nodding at everyone, apologetically saying: "Sorry, everyone, please let me pass."
"Oh... girl, please come in... Hey, you are such a blind man, why don't you give way to the girl quickly? Why are you standing here like a log..."
The angry people changed their attitudes 180 degrees after seeing Bai Suzhen. They put away their ferocious expressions and replaced them with flattering smiles. They looked at Xiaoqing again and thought that although this woman in green was a bit fierce, she was also beautiful and not ordinary. Being scolded and pushed by her was nothing. With this thought, they stopped arguing with Xiaoqing.
Xiao Qing pulled Bai Suzhen to the innermost part of the crowd before she heaved a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay, this location is not bad, let's stand here."
Bai Suzhen shook her head with amusement.
"It's so hot!" After squeezing for most of the day and expending a lot of energy, Xiaoqing now had beads of sweat on her forehead. She lifted her sleeves and was about to wipe it casually, but was stopped by Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait a minute, use this." She carefully took out the handkerchief in her arms and handed it to Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing curled her lips, feeling a little bothered: "No need."
"You!" Bai Suzhen sighed helplessly and personally wiped the sweat off Xiaoqing's forehead. Her movements were gentle and her expression was focused. The tenderness that flashed between her brows made Xiaoqing stunned.
"Sister." Xiao Qing couldn't help but hold Bai Suzhen's delicate hand. She stared at Bai Suzhen infatuatedly, took a step forward, and murmured: "You..."
"Qing'er!" Bai Suzhen's body trembled, and she came back to her senses the moment Xiaoqing approached. She unsheatheeded her hand held by Xiaoqing without leaving a trace, turned away, took a deep breath secretly, and stabilized her inexplicably accelerated heartbeat. Then she looked back and smiled gently, as if nothing had happened just now. She folded the handkerchief and stuffed it into Xiaoqing's hand, saying, "You, you must learn to take good care of yourself. This handkerchief is for you. Don't wipe your sweat with your sleeve anymore."
"I got it." Xiaoqing responded sullenly, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She silently put away the handkerchief and said nothing more.
Bai Suzhen sighed quietly. Just as she was wondering how to break the awkward situation, she suddenly heard a very familiar voice:
"What I just did was just a trifle. Now I will let you open your eyes." Bai Suzhen's heart moved. She suddenly looked up and saw a man dressed like a Taoist priest in the middle of the field, boasting about his skills to everyone. After seeing the man's appearance, Bai Suzhen's face suddenly darkened: "It turned out to be him!"
"What's wrong?" Xiaoqing heard Bai Suzhen's voice suddenly become strange, and she put away her depressed mood for the time being. She looked at Bai Suzhen in confusion, and then followed her gaze. When she saw the guy dressed in Taoist robes in the middle of the field, she was slightly stunned, and then moved her eyes back to Bai Suzhen, and asked in surprise: "Why, sister, you know him too?"
Bai Suzhen frowned slightly, with a rare cold expression on her face: "More than knowing him, I was just thinking of finding this bastard to seek justice for my sisters!"
