Chapter 432 Spring Heart
Chapter 432 Spring Heart
Gu Qingqing, who happened to be in the inner courtyard corridor at this time, heard the noise and stood up and walked out, "Shengxi, Shengxi, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Shengxi ran towards the inner courtyard like the wind. As soon as she entered the hanging flower gate, she saw Gu Qingqing walking towards her. She seemed to have found her backbone, and she took two or three steps to reach Gu Qingqing.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you running in such a hurry?" Gu Qingqing asked Wen Shengxi who was in a panic.
"Sister, Zhao Bei, Zhao Bei...he..."
"Zhao Bei? What's wrong with Zhao Bei? Just take your time and tell me. There's no rush." Gu Qingqing tried to comfort her first.
"He..." Wen Shengxi originally wanted to say that he was a hooligan, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.
If she told the truth, how would she answer when her elder sister asked about the cause of the incident? Wouldn't her elder sister know that she had dreamed about him last night?
When Gu Qingqing saw that she suddenly shut up, a look of panic even flashed across her face.
When Gu Qingqing saw this situation, she became a little anxious, fearing that something had happened to Zhao Bei or that he had bullied her?
He hurriedly grabbed her wrist and asked, "Weren't you carrying water just now to ask the sheep? But you met Zhao Bei? What happened?"
Wen Shengxi looked down at his elder sister holding his left wrist. He could clearly feel the strength of his elder sister's hand on his wrist. It didn't hurt. After all, he had just dreamed last night.
"Sister, don't worry. Yes, I just went out and met Zhao Bei. He deliberately hid over there to scare me, and I even lost the basin." Wen Shengxi made an excuse to get rid of the matter.
Gu Qingqing thought about whether Zhao Bei could really do this, so she clapped her hands and said jokingly, "You screamed so loudly just now, I thought something happened. You too, have a cup of water in your hand. If he dares to scare you next time, just throw the water on him and see if he dares to do it again in the future."
"Sister-in-law, who are you going to throw water at?" At this time, he walked into the front yard with a basin in his hand, and came to the door with hanging flowers. He put one foot inside the door and the other outside, stretched his neck and looked towards Gu Qingqing and asked.
Gu Qingqing knew that the two of them usually played around, so she didn't take it seriously. She just laughed and said, "I'm throwing it at you so that you can scare others for no reason."
Zhao Bei's face was full of astonishment. He looked at Gu Qingqing and then at Wen Shengxi who was beside her without looking at him. He shouted out "wrong", "Sister-in-law, I didn't scare her. She was the one who avoided me whenever she saw me. I asked her why she was avoiding me, but she refused to admit it. I just said, 'You must have dreamed about me,' and she screamed like that." When Zhao Bei said this, he even imitated Wen Shengxi's posture.
Gu Qingqing was not sure whether Wen Shengxi was like this just now, but she did see some of Wen Shengxi's usual demeanor in Zhao Bei.
Gu Qingqing was amused by him and laughed out loud. Finally, she raised her hand and nodded at him, suggesting that he should restrain himself as they were in front of a girl.
As a result, she heard Zhao Bei complaining, "Sister-in-law, she called me a hooligan!"
"!" Gu Qingqing's laughter stopped abruptly, and even the smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
Households in the village generally don't set up strict rules for men and women, including her family. Although they don't show it on weekdays, in fact, everyone abides by the rules very well.
For example, after Zhao Dong and his friends came back, they basically stayed in the front yard and seldom went into the inner yard, unless there was something going on at home that required them to go to the inner yard to do something, then they would come in.
On weekdays, they only get together at mealtimes, and even the ones who cook and help are either Old Yang or Daxin.
Either too old or too young, everyone is trying to find the balance.
At this moment, Gu Qingqing looked at the expression on Zhao Bei's face and saw that it was clearly stupid, and it didn't seem like he was lying.
Gu Qingqing felt that she knew him well enough and knew he would not do anything out of line.
She turned her head to look at Wen Shengxi again, but it was she who was blushing and lowering her head, looking extremely embarrassed.
It was okay to joke around on a daily basis, but such "rude" words could not be said lightly. If she didn't ask carefully at this moment, there might be a rift between them.
She looked at Wen Shengxi who was somewhat evasive and had a general idea in her mind.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqing took two steps and took the basin from Zhao Bei's hand, then said to him, "Don't worry, I'll find out the situation. I haven't watered the flowers in the front yard for several days. Can you help me get two buckets of water from outside? I'll use it to water the flowers tonight."
"Oh, I'll go right away." Zhao Bei said and turned to leave.
Gu Qingqing placed the basin in her hand on the steps of the inner courtyard corridor, and pulled Wen Shengxi towards the blooming roses in the inner courtyard, asking as they walked, "Did he do anything to you? If so, just tell me, and I will take care of it for you."
Wen Shengxi clutched the corner of her clothes in annoyance, but she was cursing Zhao Bei in her heart. He was usually lively and vivid, why was he so stubborn today? She had lied to her elder sister. But he really wanted to prove that he was a hooligan.
Seeing that she pursed her lips and remained silent, Gu Qingqing sighed and said, "If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, then you can tell her when your sister comes back in the afternoon."
Wen Shengxi knew that she was a member of the Wen family now, and was afraid of upsetting her elder sister. She also realized that it was her fault again, so she stepped forward, took Gu Qingqing's hand, and said coquettishly, "Sister, let me tell you, I really didn't mean it today."
Then Wen Shengxi decided to go all out and told his sister about the dream he had yesterday, "I don't know what happened. I felt uneasy when I saw him today and I didn't dare to look at him. Also, sister, I didn't mean to lie just now. I really, really..."
When Wen Shengxi said this, she lowered her head so much that she wanted to bury it in the ground. How could she have the face to see anyone? How could she, an unmarried girl, dream about a man?
Gu Qingqing listened to what she said and looked at her blushing face.
She knew it was inappropriate to laugh at this moment, but she still couldn't help laughing out loud.
Wen Shengxi felt like her face was about to burn, and she was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down, "Sister, even you are laughing at me, how can I face people in the future?"
"Hahaha, I don't...haha, I won't laugh anymore. Haha...don't go, don't go, I won't laugh anymore." The more anxious Gu Qingqing looked at her, the happier she laughed.
Seeing that Wen Shengxi was stopped by her, he was about to cry.
Gu Qingqing finally put away her smile and said to her, "It's not a big deal. I'll go explain to Zhao Bei later that you were just scared. From now on, just be open and frank when you meet people. You don't have to hide. It makes people uncomfortable."
Wen Shengxi nodded quickly, "I understand, sister."
Then Gu Qingqing said a few more words to her, and then said to her, "Okay, go and do your own thing."
After she watched Wen Shengxi leave, the corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and she whispered to herself, "Could this little girl have some thoughts?"
