(2) On the way to the capital (Part 3)
Early the next morning, Xu Xing got up early. When she heard the sound of getting up next door, she immediately waited in front of the door.
“Sister Shu, you’re early, ah, who is he?” Looking at the handsome man, Xu Xing’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly covered her mouth with her little hand and asked. Her slightly raised and charming phoenix eyes shimmering. When she met Xiao Lang’s gaze, she seemed startled and lowered her eyes in a panic, but couldn’t help but sneak a glance, perfectly displaying the shyness and curiosity of a little woman. (tenderflower: this is the display of btches🙄)
Even though it was just a brief glance, she already had a plan.
Shu Lan was rich, which meant her man was rich, and he was so tall, handsome, and powerful, so he was undoubtedly a good person to rely on. Xu Xing was very confident in her beauty. Compared to Shu Lan’s naivety and ignorance, men like her charming style, especially men who were greedy for that. Thinking of what she heard last night, her face turned red without even pretending. She glanced at Xiao Lang shyly again, and was glad that Shu Lan was a fool. As long as she could stay by the man’s side, she would eventually capture his heart, and the position of a legitimate wife was also at her fingertips.
Shu Lan was very sleepy after working hard for most of the night last night. With Xiao Lang by her side, she relaxed peacefully and lost the vigilance she had when she was on the road yesterday. At least, she felt like she did a good job yesterday. Seeing Xu Xing asking her, she introduced to her: “This is my wolf... husband, Xiao Lang.”
“It turns out to be Brother Xiao. Did you come here specifically to meet Sister Shu?” Xu Xing smiled sweetly and greeted Xiao Lang.
Xiao Lang didn’t even look at her. He pulled Shu Lan downstairs and asked her, “What do you want for breakfast?”
Shu Lan didn’t think much and followed his words: “I want to eat dumplings...” As she spoke, the two of them had already gone downstairs.
Xu Xing didn’t expect Xiao Lang to be so cold, but she had seen so many men. At first, he pretended to be serious because he couldn’t understand a woman’s thoughts. He would naturally show his intestines once he was sure the woman was interested in him. Perhaps her eyes were too subtle just now? Thinking of this, she hurriedly chased after him.
At the dining table, Xu Xing frequently sent autumn waves to Xiao Lang, but Xiao Lang didn’t even look at her, causing her to blink her sour eyes for nothing.
After walking out of the inn, Xiao Lang hired a carriage, helped Shu Lan up first, and then turned back to Xu Xing and said, “We have other things to do, so you can go on your way.” He raised his legs to get on.
“Brother Xiao!” Xu Xing could no longer care about anything else and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Lang’s arm. Just as she was about to speak, her body was thrown out by Xiao Lang. She was stunned for a moment, but seeing the coachman was about to drive away, she hurriedly got up, threw herself in front of the carriage, and shouted to Shu Lan: “Sister Shu, didn’t you promise to take me to the capital with you? Sob sob, sister Shu, please don’t leave me alone...”
Shu Lan couldn’t bear it and looked at Xiao Lang doubtfully: “Why not let her come up? The carriage is so big and can fit two people, so let her come up. She helped me a lot on the way and even gave me food.” (tenderflower: you ignorant woman!)
Xiao Lang looked at her, “Do you really want her to come up?”
Shu Lan nodded.
“Okay, then don’t regret it!” Xiao Lang looked at her deeply and stretched out his hand to open the carriage curtain: “Here, come up.”
“Thank you, sister Shu, thank you, brother Xiao!” Xu Xing burst into tears of gratitude and climbed up in embarrassment. She opened the carriage curtain and quickly took a look inside the carriage. She saw there was only one bench inside, which Shu Lan and Xiao Lang already occupied. There was a small stool under each of them. She looked at Shu Lan and saw she looked sleepy with drooped eyelids. She couldn’t tell Xiao Lang’s emotions, so she tentatively sat on the small stool next to Xiao Lang.
The carriage set off with a clatter.
On the first day, Xu Xing was afraid of Xiao Lang’s rude behavior that day, so she always behaved herself.
But on the second day, she slowly felt confident again, because she found that although Xiao Lang was still cold to her, he would take the initiative to buy her share when buying food, which gave her hope. Calling “Brother Xiao” was getting sweeter and sweeter.
Shu Lan was pointing to the fields outside and talking to Xiao Lang when Xu Xing suddenly interrupted: “Brother Xiao, I heard from Sister Shu that you are a hunter, so you must be very skilled. What have you hunted before?”
Xiao Lang glanced at Shu Lan, smiled, and said to Xu Xing: “There are quite a lot of rabbits, pheasants, wild boars, wolves, and foxes.”
Xu Xing felt a sense of joy in her heart. This was the first time Xiao Lang smiled at her. She quickly moved closer to him and said with admiration: “Brother Xiao is really amazing. Can you tell me how you hunted wolves? Did you get hurt?”
“Sure, as long as you like to hear.” Xiao Lang stopped looking at Shu Lan and spoke to Xu Xing seriously.
Xu Xing raised her head, looking at him expectantly with a pair of beautiful big eyes. Her hands almost resting on Xiao Lang’s knees.
Shu Lan suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Xiao Lang had never smiled at other girls, but today he actually smiled at someone. She always thought he would only smile at her...
“Older brother Wolf, what kind of tree do you think that is?” She pouted and interjected, trying to get Xiao Lang’s attention back.
But Xu Xing screamed at this moment: “Then how did you avoid it?”
Xiao Lang seemed not to have heard Shu Lan’s words and continued: “I didn’t avoid...”
They talked so lively as if she was an extra person.
Shu Lan felt particularly aggrieved. She hugged Xiao Lang’s arm and said, “Older brother Wolf, listen to me!”
Xiao Lang paused. Just when Shu Lan thought he would listen to her like before, he just touched her head and said with a smile: “Ah Lan, be good, I’ll accompany you after I finish talking to Sister Xu.” Then he pulled her hands away and lowered his head to talk to Xu Xing. (tenderflower: lmao, silly girl never thought she would have today, did she? lol)
Shu Lan stared at her hands blankly. He ignored her because of someone else? Still calling someone else sister?
She couldn’t help but look at Xu Xing, but was met with her smiling face. Xu Xing looked at her older brother Wolf full of happiness, and then glanced at her. For some reason, Shu Lan seemed to see pride in Xu Xing’s eyes, as if she was happy that she had snatched Xiao Lang’s attention!
Shu Lan didn’t like the look in Xu Xing’s eyes, and she didn’t like her smiling at Xiao Lang either, so she opened the curtain of the carriage without thinking and shouted at Xu Xing: “Get off, I won’t let you go with us!” (tenderflower: way to go, silly girl! lol.)
The carriage immediately fell silent.
Xu Xing cursed an idiot in her heart. She couldn’t bear even this small grievance and became fierce in front of her man. It was easier to deal with than she thought. If Shu Lan had said this when she first got in the carriage, she would have been uneasy, but now that she had captured Xiao Lang’s heart, how could she be afraid of her?
“Sister Shu, did I make you angry?” She looked at Shu Lan aggrievedly. Her eyes filled with tears instantly, and then she helplessly climbed onto Xiao Lang’s knees, tears welling up in her eyelashes: “Brother Xiao, please help me persuade sister Shu, I...”
“You are not allowed to touch him!” Shu Lan was so angry that she slapped Xu Xing’s hand away and reached out to push her down. (tenderflower: yes, girl, that’s the way to do it!!!)
