Chapter 27 Good Results and Bad Results 26
On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Luo Chen had his servants bring him a set of robes early in the morning. The color was purple, which Zhao Zhao had never worn before, and it was still embroidered with golden lotus patterns, making it luxurious and noble.
The servants helped him put it on, and Zhao Zhao glanced at himself in the mirror, quite satisfied.
His long hair was tied up with a golden crown, and his long ponytail hung down to his lower back. His purple clothes had faint gold patterns, making him low-key and mysterious, and his youthful spirit was palpable.
Unlike other banquets, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is mainly held to provide young men and women with an opportunity to make friends. Of course, many parents also take this opportunity to find a partner for their children.
Zhao Zhao also wanted to take this opportunity to find out who Shi Qinian's sweetheart was.
He followed Luo Chen to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, sat quietly for a quarter of an hour, and only after showing his face in front of the gods did Luo Chen allow him to leave.
As Zhao Zhao was about to leave, she glanced around and suddenly saw several familiar faces: Na Yue, Ye Liangqing, and Shi Qinian.
Shi Qinian noticed him immediately, and his smile became even gentler.
Na Yue followed Shi Qinian's gaze and saw it was him. She waved from a distance and said happily, "Divine Child Zhao, come sit here."
Before the banquet officially began, the activities of the priestesses and priestesses were rather casual.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao went over.
Luo Chen glanced in his direction briefly, then ignored him.
"How is Zhao Shenzi's recovery?" They weren't very familiar with Zhao Zhao yet, so they were being overly polite.
"I'm all better now." Almost everyone who has met him asks this question, and Zhao Zhao is tired of hearing it.
"That's good."
A little while later, Jun Si, who had arrived late, also joined in, and the five of them sat together, making it quite lively.
Throughout this time, Zhao Zhao's eyes kept shifting between Shi Qinian and Na Yue. After Shi Qinian made eye contact with Zhao Zhao for the fifth time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile, "Divine Child Zhao, is there something on my and Na Yue's faces?"
Zhao Zhao shook her head, then gave him a meaningful smile.
Shi Qinian's gaze darted away slightly. "This is the first time I've seen you smile." But why does your smile give me goosebumps? Shi Qinian thought to himself.
“Sitting here all the time is boring, why don’t we go admire the flowers?” Zhao Zhao put down her tea set and suggested.
"Okay." Jun Si couldn't sit still any longer. He grabbed Zhao Zhao's arm and started to walk out. "Let's go, let's go, let's go quickly."
Zhao Zhao obediently let him pull her up, and seeing his hurried appearance, she asked, "So urgent?"
"A little." Jun Si chuckled, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
He grabbed Zhao Zhao and ran off in a flash. Seeing this, Shi Qinian and the others quickly followed.
It was obvious: "Are you avoiding people or avoiding trouble?"
Finally outside the banquet hall, Jun Si breathed a sigh of relief. "How did Zhao Shenzi figure that out?"
Before Zhao Zhao could reply, he blurted out, eager to share, "My father recently wanted to match me with a goddess, and even wanted me to spend more time with her at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but I don't like her, so naturally I'm unwilling."
If you can't afford to mess with him, you can at least avoid him.
"Oh."
"Then who do you like?" Zhao Zhao asked.
Jun Si blushed. "I don't have anyone I like."
"Oh," Zhao Zhao replied perfunctorily, then continued, "Do you know who Shi Qinian likes?"
"Huh?" The topic changed so quickly that Jun Si didn't react for a moment.
Zhao Zhao patiently asked again, and Jun Si scratched his head and said, "No, I don't think so."
Despite Shi Qinian's ever-smiling demeanor, very few people truly capture his heart.
“However…” Jun Si looked around and saw that Shi Qinian and the others had not yet arrived, so he quickly leaned close to Zhao Zhao’s ear and whispered, “However, quite a few goddesses do like him.”
This kid is really popular.
"Nayue?"
Jun Si shook his head, "More than that~"
"And Ye Liangqing?"
Jun Si's eyes lit up, and he slapped his shoulder, "Zhao Shenzi is indeed insightful."
Zhao Zhao raised her hand, rubbed her shoulder, and silently moved a little further away from him.
Seeing his little actions, Jun Si chuckled and said, "The Divine Child still dislikes me."
"Does Shi Qinian really not have anyone he likes?" Zhao Zhao asked again.
"Anyway, I can't figure out who he likes. If you want to know, why don't you go ask him yourself?" Jun Si winked, his tone slightly teasing.
Zhao Zhao nodded and said seriously, "Okay."
Jun Si: ?
"No, you really want to ask him?"
"What are you talking about?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
As soon as Shi Qinian arrived, Jun Si immediately noticed Zhao Zhao's raised eyes, the steps she took, and the words she was about to say.
With lightning speed, he stepped forward and covered his mouth.
Just kidding, Na Yue and Ye Liangqing are both here. If we ask directly, wouldn't that cause a huge scene?
Jun Si thought about it and suddenly felt a chill.
Shi Qinian looked at the two of them, his face full of confusion: ...Wait, when did they become so familiar?
Zhao Zhao frowned, kicked Jun Si, and looked at him with a questioning gaze that seemed to say, "Are you sick?"
"What are you doing here...?" Shi Qinian asked.
Jun Si chuckled, released Zhao Zhao's mouth, and casually placed his hand on his shoulder. "It's nothing."
Na Yue and Ye Liangqing were drawn to the spectacular bouquets outside. When they turned around and saw the two still standing there, they called out, "What are you standing there like idiots for? Didn't we say we were here to admire the flowers?"
Ye Liangqing also invited, "Shi Qinian, you guys come quickly!"
Jun Si winked at Zhao Zhao, then turned and ran towards the two goddesses, "Coming."
He led the two goddesses ahead, while Zhao Zhao and Shi Qinian walked side by side behind, lagging far behind.
Shi Qinian strolled casually, looking relaxed, and asked, "Were you just talking about me?"
Zhao Zhao nodded and said, "Just now, I was talking to Jun Si about his parents arranging a marriage for him, and we also talked about the goddesses you each like."
Shi Qinian paused, "The goddess I like?"
"Ah."
"I don't have a goddess I like." Shi Qinian said helplessly, feeling like he was being attacked out of nowhere.
Zhao Zhao frowned, "You really don't?"
"No."
Shi Qinian answered decisively.
Zhao Zhao then asked, "So, who do you want to become your Daoist partner in the future?"
Not all couples in the divine realm are in love. They may be forced by family or their own interests, but regardless of the reason, they always end up spending their lives together.
The system task was simply to find him his destined wife and spend his life with her, but his destined wife, Shi Qinian, might not necessarily like her.
Zhao Zhao felt as if he had understood something.
