Mrs. Jiang chatted with me all the way, and she is also a talkative person, which is quite different from my first impression of her. Perhaps because we have become more familiar, she is no longer so formal with me.
When the car stopped, I finally understood what she meant by "resting well."
This is the hometown of the the Chiang family, indeed a picturesque place. In addition, the old house where the the Chiang family rests is refreshing and comfortable, so it is indeed more suitable for recuperation.
Mrs. Jiang supported me through the door, while Jiang Qingyuan followed behind with big and small bags, stumbling in.
He shouted, "Mom, wait for me!"
Mrs. Jiang was too busy chatting with me to pay any attention to Jiang Qingyuan's shouting.
I felt a little embarrassed and said quietly, "Mrs. Jiang, I can walk by myself. Qingyuan, did I bring too many things?"
"A boy should exercise more. In the future, when you have a girlfriend, you'll need to be proficient at carrying bags and holding things."
Ah? I sympathized with Jiang Qingyuan and turned back to him with a helpless smile, indicating that he should keep it up.
Jiang Qingyuan exclaimed in frustration, "I knew it, you've always looked down on me for not being a girl."
It turns out that Mrs. Jiang wanted a girl, but Jiang Qingyuan ended up being a boy. Poor Jiang Qingyuan.
Mrs. Jiang helped me onto a bench in the yard and busied herself with pouring me some water.
Jiang Qingyuan finally put the things in the kitchen and came over with an unhappy face, swinging his arms. He sat on the chair opposite me and asked, "You see how biased my mom is, right? So, don't worry, once you marry into the family, you don't have to worry about the mother-in-law relationship."
I blushed instantly and awkwardly, reaching out to tap his head, "You little rascal, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense."
Jiang Qingyuan protested, furrowing her brow and glaring at me: "Our whole family hopes that you and my brother will be together. Am I just talking nonsense?"
I scratched my head, trying to hide my embarrassment, feeling extremely uneasy.
"But, your brother and I are just... friends."
I said this sentence, obviously feeling inadequate, in fact, we may not even be considered friends. What does it mean for me to live in his house like this?
Ah!
Mrs. Jiang held a water glass, held a teapot, and called out, "Qingyuan, bring out the snacks from the kitchen."
Jiang Qingyuan pursed her lips at me and went to the kitchen.
" Miss Ling, have some tea and snacks first," she said warmly, leaving me feeling at a loss.
Mrs. Jiang added, "I asked Qingyuan to call Grandma and the others. They'll be here soon, and then we can start the meal."
I busily said, "No rush, no rush."
Jiang Qingyuan held a snack in one hand and picked up a piece with the other, then started eating.
"You little rascal, can't you have a bit of dignity? With your timid appearance, which girl would like you?"
"I look like this, and a lot of girls like it. Mom, please don't discourage me, okay?"
"Alright, go and remind him. When will your brother arrive? It's time for dinner."
Jiang Qingyuan quickly grabbed a snack and ran out.
Mrs. Jiang turned back and smiled at me, saying, "It's rare for our family to eat together, all thanks to your blessings."
Um... I'm already feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Mrs. Jiang saying this makes me feel like my relationship with Zhou Heng is really something special.
"You sit for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything else that needs to be prepared."
Mrs. Jiang got up and went to the kitchen, leaving me alone in the yard, looking around. This is my own masterpiece, and now it's a pleasure to admire it.
I got up and slowly walked around, looking around.
The courtyard is in line with Zhou Heng's preferences, and the words "elegant and refined" are most appropriate. Initially, I never thought that the inspiration I borrowed from him would end up being used by him in the end. This is probably fate, indescribably wonderful. "Brother, you're too slow! We've all returned to Rongcheng," said Jiang Qingyuan's voice, followed by the dusty figure of Zhou Heng.
At the moment he stepped through the door, he saw me. Our eyes met, and I was so shocked that I took a step back, almost losing my balance. Zhou Heng didn't seem surprised, he came straight over and greeted me.
" Daoist Ling."
I exclaimed in panic, " Master."
Jiang Qingyuan blinked at me a few times and said meaningfully, "Bro, you guys talk slowly. I'll go call grandma and them for dinner."
Zhou Heng and I stood there, feeling a bit awkward. I stuttered, "I, I don't know why I ended up at your house."
Zhou Heng nodded: "I know, it's my mom's idea."
" Master, I'm really sorry to bother your family."
He smiled, "It's not really a bother."
I chuckled awkwardly and thought to myself, why do I always feel so nervous when talking to Zhou Heng?
He said, "Sit down, don't just stand there."
I replied with an "oh" and walked towards the chair. But he took the initiative to hold my arm, not allowing me to refuse.
"Is this medicine still effective?"
"Yes, Master, the pain has reduced and the swelling has also gone down a lot."
He raised his eyebrows and fixed his gaze on my face, the worried expression fading away.
"That's good!" I sat on the stool, feeling uncomfortable all over, trying to hide my embarrassment, and said, "Isn't the temple busy? Today is the first day of the month." I remembered he had said that the first and fifteenth days of the month were the busiest times at Qingyun Temple.
He: " Daoist Ling, I apologize for the trouble my mother and brother caused you. I will explain everything to them and make sure you are not put in a difficult position. I took time off specifically to come back, so after lunch, I will take you back."
I felt regretful immediately, wondering what he meant by explaining everything. Fine, I'll just go back.
My voice sounded a bit displeased: "Master, I will leave after lunch, I did not cause any trouble. I just didn't want to make Master feel annoyed."
He looked at me with an unclear expression in his eyes, blinked a few times, and then said, "I didn't feel annoyed."
"My mother and brother caused a commotion at your house and brought you here, I didn't know any of that. The reason for the trouble I brought you is ultimately because of me..."
"I understand," I interrupted him, feeling annoyed by him in the end. Well, it's not that I brought trouble to him, but rather that I brought trouble to him.
I Ling Xiaomeng really must have lost my mind, or taken the wrong medicine, to develop feelings for him. It's like asking for trouble. If I really don't understand his words, then I must be really clueless.
"Dinner's ready."
Jiang Qingyuan's voice broke the deadlock between us. He helped Mrs. Jiang and there were a few men and women behind him.
I turned my face away to calm myself down. In Zhou Heng's eyes, I must seem like I'm making a fuss over nothing. I was filled with anger, while Zhou Heng looked at me with innocent eyes, as if someone else had made me angry.
The old lady greeted me warmly and started chatting with me.
"The courtyard is finally lively. Xiao Meng, you should stay a few more days."
"Yeah, there are plenty of empty rooms anyway."
"Besides, with more people, it'll be lively. The old lady will be happy too."
"Xiao Meng, just treat this place as your own home, don't be polite."
Family members, you speak one sentence and I speak one sentence, I can't keep up at all, I can only pretend to be silly with a smile. I caught a slight change in Zhou Heng's expression, he often glanced at me, but I pretended not to see, not wanting to talk to him. Jiang Qingyuan nudged my elbow and whispered, "Did you see, miss, our family treats you well, right?" "Hehe. Yes," I forced a smile at him, thinking to myself: Some people may not think so, I'll finish lunch quickly and leave, so as not to let others think I have thick skin.
