His Majesty is Scheming - C231
After lunch, Ling Mengzhu was washing the dishes in the kitchen as Madam Ling pulled Xiao Lin next door to play cards.
After Ling Meng Zhu finished washing the dishes, she changed her clothes and took her bag to the next room. Madam Ling raised her head and asked doubtfully, “Where are you going?” As far as she knew, Ling Meng Zhu wasn’t familiar with this place, and she had never left the village in the past few days.
“Accompany Xiao Lin to the town to find a hotel.” After Ling Mengzhu finished speaking, she said to Xiao Lin who was in the midst of a lively fight: “Let’s go, let my mother beat him up.”
“No, no, I don’t want to play today.” Mrs. Ling, who was afraid of losing, quickly waved her hands. She then looked at her and asked, “Why are you looking for a hotel in the town? Wouldn’t it be fine if he just wasted his money and stayed in our house? Little Lin, do you think so? ”
“Ugh …” Xiao Lin originally wanted to say yes, but upon catching sight of Ling Meng Zhu’s murderous gaze, he hurriedly changed his words: “Thank you Auntie for your kind intentions, this is too troublesome, I’d better stay in a hotel.”
“It’s not troublesome at all, it’s not troublesome at all. Alright, don’t go.” Mrs. Ling waved her hand.
“If it’s troublesome, you can come live with me. I have a lot of houses.” Aunt Wang also stepped in at the side.
Since everyone had already said this much, Ling Mengzhu could not say anything more. She snappily glared at the hypocritical Xiao Lin, before carrying her bag back home. She did not notice the complacent look in Xiao Lin’s eyes at all.
After returning home, Ling Mengzhu laid on the sofa and casually flipped through the magazines she had read several times, listening to the waves of laughter and the sounds of mahjong rolling around coming from next door. He flipped the magazine aside and stared at the ceiling.
When Xiao Lin returned and saw her dazed expression, he paused for a moment before walking over. He leaned forward, placed his hands on the edge of the sofa, and looked at her condescendingly. “Is this how you spend your time?”
Ling Mengzhu was given a fright by him, and hurriedly sat up straight. She unhappily glared at him and scolded: “Is this how you usually scare people? “He’s not polite at all. He’s scared to death by you.”
Lil ‘Lin smiled as she walked past her and sat down by the side. “It’s not often. I’ve only scared you once or twice.”
In the past, whenever Ling Mengzhu was with him, she would always be scared by his elusive appearance, more than once or twice.
Ling Mengzhu shrank back into the sofa, looked at him and asked: “Why aren’t you playing cards anymore?” Are you looking for a hotel? ”
“Do you have to go to a hotel without playing cards? I just want to accompany you. ” Xiao Lin smacked her on the head. With this smack, Ling Mengzhu felt that he didn’t look like a boyfriend, but more like an elder. Accompany her? She really needed someone to accompany her right now, but why did it have to be Xiao Lin? She really didn’t want to hurt him!
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Xiao Lin smiled and asked, “You don’t plan on taking me out for a stroll?”
Ling Mengzhu compromised and asked, “Where do you want to go? Do you want to go shopping in the town or do you want to go sightseeing around here? ”
“Of course it’s to wander around in the mountains and rivers.” Xiao Lin almost didn’t even think about it. Shopping in town? He was afraid she would throw him into the hotel.
“But you seem to have seen all the mountains and rivers here.” Only then did Ling Dreamball remember that the last time Xiao Lin came, she had already taken him for a stroll. It was also because she had accidentally fallen into the river, and he had gone to the hero to save the beauty, but both their phones and cameras had been destroyed. That time, her losses were truly disastrous. Even just thinking about it caused her heart to ache.
Xiao Lin shook his head indifferently, “It’s alright, I’m willing to take another stroll.” Sometimes, one did not go to a place to see the scenery, but for the people around them. With Ling Meng Pearl by his side, even if he had to walk around a few dozen times, it wouldn’t matter.
Actually, there was nothing to see here. Ling Meng Zhu had already seen too many of them, so he didn’t feel that there was anything to see anymore. The most beautiful thing in the village was the river. Every day, there were children swimming and catching fish in the river. On both sides of the river, there were green rice fields.
Ling Meng Zhu walked by the river, occasionally greeting the children or bending over to feel the mountains and rivers of nature.
“It’s so cold. If it’s summer, then it’s good. You can go swimming.” Ling Mengzhu laughed and said, seeing that Xiao Lin was standing motionlessly, she splashed water on him and said: “Hey, do you want to come down and try? It’s very comfortable. ”
“Sure.” Xiao Lin squatted down beside her and tried out the cold river water. “It’s really cool. I should come over in the summer.”
On the other side of the river, a little kid giggled and asked, “Aunt Zhu Zhu Zhu, who is this uncle of yours? Is it your boyfriend? He’s so handsome, even more handsome than our class rep. ”
Hearing this, Ling Mengzhu’s eyebrows immediately shot up as she angrily said to the little friend, “Kid, do you know what a boyfriend is? Quickly go catch your fish!”
The children went off to play their own game, but they did not forget to give Xiao Lin a thumbs up when they were about to leave. This caused Xiao Lin to be overjoyed, and he replied with the same gesture to express his gratitude, to thank their golden mouths.
“Hey, did you hear that? I’m even more handsome than the class monitor. ” Xiao Lin smilingly knocked his elbow on Ling Mengzhu’s arm. This was the happiest sentence he had heard recently. He had to thank the little friend.
Ling Mengzhu snappily shot him a glance, “Come on, you’re already so old, why are you still trying to be cool?”
“What do you mean older? I haven’t even gotten married yet. At least people who are handsome will be able to get married. ”
“A person with such good conditions like you, will he still be unable to marry his wife?” Ling Mengzhu said smilingly as she continued playing with the cold water of the river. The water rippled slightly, and the figures of the two people could be vaguely seen. They looked just like a pair.
Ling Mengzhu swiped the water with her hand, disturbing the tranquil surface. She felt that she was overthinking it. Even if it was impossible for her to be with Long Zhenghao, she wouldn’t go back to Xiao Lin’s side, because she no longer had that kind of feelings towards Xiao Lin.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Xiao Lin ask in all seriousness, “Zhu Zhu Zhu, do you really think that my conditions are very good? If so, why don’t you consider returning to me? ”
Here it comes again, Ling Mengzhu had a headache as she patted her head. This was the question she didn’t want to answer the most, because she didn’t want to be hurt all the time. But Lil ‘Lin always liked to ask her these questions that clearly knew the answer to. She was really helpless now.
“What?” Can’t you answer? If you can’t answer, then forget it. ” Xiao Lin timely helped her get out of her predicament. In matters of the heart, she could not be too anxious, or else it would be very easy for her to make a fool of herself. He understood this principle!
Ling Mengzhu gratefully smiled at him. In order to hide her uneasiness, she rolled up her pants and stepped into the river towards the group of children. While laughing, he asked, “Little friend, do you need me to help you?”
“Alright, alright. Auntie Zhu Zhu, why didn’t your boyfriend come down?” A little girl asked Xiao Lin in all seriousness. It seemed that this child had a very good impression of Xiao Lin, he’s really a glutton of old and young, Ling Lin Zhu thought in her heart.
She patted the little girl’s head and said, “Little kids shouldn’t speak carelessly. He’s not Auntie Zhu Zhu’s boyfriend.”
“Who is Auntie Zhu Zhu’s boyfriend? Why has it never been brought back for us to see? ” The children had the tendency to break the sand pot to ask questions, and Ling Mengzhu began to regret that she had entered the water.
“Ugh …” Aunt Zhu Zhu Zhu was no longer a male friend, if there was one, she would definitely bring it back for everyone to see, okay? “Come on, catch some fish. If you don’t focus on getting some fish, then run away.”
When Little Lin saw everyone having such fun, she felt a little itchy in her heart and wanted to dive into the water. She lowered her head to look at her shoes and socks. Then, gritting his teeth, he removed them all and stepped into the cold water.
He heard the children continue to interrogate him, “Then why doesn’t Aunt Zhu Zhu want this uncle as her boyfriend? This uncle is great … Aunt Zhu Zhu, don’t you want to get married earlier … ”
Then, he saw Ling Meng Pearl finally crumble as she loudly shouted, “Stop! Everyone, stop talking and don’t make any noise. “As for the adult marriage boyfriends, children are not allowed to talk too much about it. Do you hear it?”
The children finally shut their mouths and concentrated on catching their own fish.
When Ling Mengzhu turned around, she saw Xiao Lin standing behind her with an extremely bad smile on his face. She unhappily used her foot to splash water on him as she jokingly scolded him, “You smelly and uncompassionate person, I already told you to go shopping in town, yet you still want to come here and enjoy the scenery?”
Xiao Lin hid while laughing, “What’s wrong? How lovely and naive these children are! ”
“I doubt they were abetted by you.” If that’s not the case, then why would she call him a boyfriend and marry him one by one? She was even more worried about her marriage than her mother.
While the two of them were playing, a familiar figure suddenly jumped into Ling Meng Zhu’s eyes. She was shocked by instinct. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her eyes and looked in the direction of the figure. This time, she only saw the back, but it was still so familiar. It was the back that she accidentally fell in love with again!
Ling Meng Zhu rushed from the river to the shore, chasing after the figure that was getting further and further away. She suspected that she had seen wrongly, and wanted to see it clearly. She stepped on the gravel, the pain piercing her heart, but she ignored it and continued to rush forward.
Xiao Lin did not know what had happened, leaving the kids to chase after Ling Meng Zhu. While chasing, he shouted loudly, “Zhu Zhu, what are you doing? Where are you going so soon? Sigh … “Wait for me …”
In the distance, Ling Mengzhu could see the familiar A8 parked by the roadside, and Long Zhenghao’s figure had already flashed into the car. The car started up and slowly drove towards the village entrance. Ling Mengzhu was stunned on the spot for a moment as she stopped in her tracks.
He didn’t understand Long Zhenghao’s meaning, why he came here, and why he came and left. Was it because he saw her with Xiao Lin? If it was because of this anger, then she would really die innocently …
