Xu Chang’an liked watching the scenery, especially mountain and sea views.
So, during his ti on the island, he would occasionally gaze at the sparkling sea when the ladies were resting.
Is this a hobby?
Perhaps it is.
Just like in his past life, when he would climb a mountain alone to watch the sunrise.
When he felt bored, looking at the surrounding scenery would make him feel much better.
It had always been like this.
Xu Chang’an felt the sensation of the girl holding his arm and blinked.
So people spend their whole lives relying only on themselves, and when they can’t rely on themselves anymore, they rely on nature, and when that fails too, they suddenly beco soone else’s support.
In the smoke and rain, with the mist gradually spreading, Xu Chang’an held a Pear Blossom Umbrella and walked with the girl towards the Unfastened Boat.
Xu Chang’an really liked this feeling, but...
After being recognized among all the girls’ gazes and seeing himself walking forward with Yun Qian holding his arm... Xu Chang’an felt an inexplicable sense of sothing he couldn’t quite describe, maybe guilt.
This feeling was different from "showing off love" in front of senior sisters.
Perhaps he didn’t want to flaunt his feelings in front of the girls at the Flower Moon Building who had suffered, as their envy wasn’t sothing joyful.
After all, most of the girls here were raised by Senior Zhu.
In all aspects, Xu Chang’an admired the girls here.
For example, just now... that girl who handled Miss Aqing’s Half-Demon statent, Xu Chang’an always thought she was smart.
They were radiant.
Yun Qian holding Xu Chang’an’s arm also felt it was true.
Miss Yun had said long ago, her husband didn’t like unparalleled beauty, but those unintentional, bright, warm things, like fireflies at the fingertips.
In this view, perhaps he wouldn’t only like Miss Aqing, but also the girls at the Flower Moon Building.
A layer of fluorescent light coated Miss Yun’s eyes.
According to her understanding, if one could marry Miss Zhu, all the girls at the Flower Moon Building would co as dowry.
Including that Miss Aqing?
So Yun Qian wondered if she had misunderstood sothing...
She shook her head, feeling a bit heavy in thought and decided not to think about it further.
In any case, she only needed to know that eting Zhu Pingniang was important.
——
Xu Chang’an: "..."
Yes, Xu Chang’an felt he liked fireflies, but only theoretically.
In reality, being watched like a monkey still didn’t suit him.
At this mont.
After Miss Aqing left, many girls walked out of the small pavilion, looking at them from afar, and so unaware girls asked their companions which courtesan had co, making the sisters so excited.
It wasn’t until they got closer that they realized a man had entered the garden.
But since it was Xu Chang’an, there were fewer girls who resisted, not to ntion he was accompanied by Miss Yun, who they usually only saw on the street during alti.
For a mont, the girls all ca to see what was happening.
On the small bridge by the shore, people gathered. Even though a fine rain was falling from the sky, with all the girls around, there was no need for umbrellas, and this was even a perfect reason to take a good bath later.
Faintly, the conversations of the girls could be heard.
"Who said it was Miss Aqing who brought the gentleman? Was it her invitation?"
"I don’t know, but I saw Pingniang, so it must be her banquet."
"Why didn’t she invite us?"
"Exactly, it’s rare to see the gentleman and the lady go out together. Last ti I heard they went to the street together... unfortunately, I was busy then and didn’t see."
"I’m going to find Pingniang."
Here, the girls seed dissatisfied with Zhu Pingniang for enjoying alone and expressed their feelings aloud.
——
Xu Chang’an frowned slightly.
How to put it.
On Muyu Peak, being the only man there, he had already beco the center of attention many tis.
Unexpectedly, it was the sa in Beisang City.
Maybe that’s why Senior Zhu is so impressive; on her turf, it always felt like he couldn’t escape.
He sighed.
"They all like you like this?" Suddenly, Yun Qian held Xu Chang’an’s hand a little tighter.
"Not really, Miss, they should..." Xu Chang’an was stunned, about to say sothing, when he saw Miss Yun pointed to the veil on her face and seriously said,
"I’ve covered my face, so don’t say they’re looking at ."
Xu Chang’an: "..."
Alright.
The girl had already blocked off that line of reasoning.
But there’s no way around it, what Miss Yun said was true, at this ti... there’s no way to use Miss Yun’s charm as a shield.
"Miss, Senior Zhu’s popularity in the Flower Moon Building is indisputable. Since I’m her junior, it’s understandable to be looked at this way."
"Hmm."
Yun Qian lifted the edge of the straw hat’s white veil and said to Xu Chang’an, "But I feel that if they purely like looking at you, I would be happier."
"Miss." Xu Chang’an gently sighed, "One must have self-awareness."
He wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he was liked this much by others.
He didn’t need to be liked, so he wouldn’t think in that direction.
After all, unlike Miss Aqing, he didn’t have a pair of light green eyes that could see well even in the rain.
"Miss, in my past life, my vision probably wasn’t very good. At the sa ti, I could only see one piece of scenery." Xu Chang’an smiled faintly.
So, he liked looking at landscapes because when he did, he wouldn’t have any unpleasant thoughts.
