“Male” Became a Group Favorite with Her - Chapter 42

    Yu Qiuran walked in circles in the bedroom, and urgently summoned the head maid to give a few words.

    Unknown Sylvia also urged in the direction of the inner room in a brisk tone: “Ran, come quickly.”

    The three members of the Dongmang Club were stunned for a moment when they heard the name.

    There is no way to hide, Yu Qiuran took a deep breath, lifted the crystal bead curtain and walked out.

    Sylvia saw that she was still wearing a pirate uniform, and asked a little strangely: “Huh? Why didn’t you change it…”

    Yu Qiuran smiled and interrupted her immediately: “Sylvia, let me introduce you. These are the three friends I mentioned to you at the Dongmang Club.”

    Sylvia’s eyes gradually became empty, and she was stunned for a moment before she reacted: “Just, is that your classmate at Shenxia Kyushu College!”

    In the previous chat, Yu Qiuran shared with her about her college life in Huaxia, and mentioned that she was a woman disguised as a man there and could not be exposed for the time being, so I hope she can still be at the engagement banquet. Present in men’s clothing.

    Sylvia has a witty temperament and is not a follower of the rules. Yu Qiuran immediately obtained her understanding and drew her as an ally.

    Because Yu Qiuran had discovered that Elizabeth had taken all her men’s clothes, she secretly negotiated with Sylvia, and borrowed her tailor to help change Anderson’s dress in the summer palace before. Wear that when you come out.

    In this situation, although Sylvia didn’t understand why the designer she made an appointment suddenly became Yu Qiuran’s friend in Huaxia, she quickly understood that Yu Qiuran could not Expose gender secrets.

    Sylvia stood up nervously: “Ah… So you all know each other, that’s great.”

    As she spoke, she stood in front of Yu Qiuran and subconsciously pulled the collar for her.

    Fortunately, Yu Qiuran habitually wore a corset when changing men’s clothes, but her figure was not exposed. But in order to highlight the bohemian temperament of this pirate uniform, the inner shirt is a low V-neck style.

    The guilty Sylvia always felt that it was too dangerous and wanted to pull for her again.

    Yu Qiuran reluctantly grabbed her hand and put it down. Does this mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver in this place?

    She reassured: “It’s okay, they won’t mind.”

    Sylvia also realized the inappropriateness of her actions. She smiled nervously at Hua Chengya and the others: “Ran played with me and dressed casually, I hope you don’t mind.”

    The three people from the Dongmang Association watched the entire process of their ambiguous behavior and fell silent for a moment.

    They looked at Yu Qiuran wearing a wide-brimmed three-legged hat, a deep V-neck shirt, a brown studded leather vest, a long cloak-style coat loosely on his shoulders, and long pedals Riding boots, cross-body long | gun, bayonet on waist…

    They have never seen such a wild Ran!

    Ao Jingyi couldn’t help but ask: “Aran, you said that you are here to visit the gems | country, is it really here?”

    Yu Qiuran said calmly: “That’s right. My mother is related to the precious royal family, and Prince Anderson is my cousin. We grew up together, and they invited me to participate. engagement party.”

    Hua Chengya looked at the direction she came out of, it was obviously the inner room, he asked, “Do you live here?”

    The feminine and elegant decorations here are simply out of tune with the pirate dyes of Luotuo’s willful ways.

    Sylvia straightened her body stiffly, Yu Qiuran waved her hand in a relaxed tone: “How is it possible, this is where Sylvia lives, I live in the villa next door. “

    The three of Dongmanghui looked at Yu Qiuran with a calm expression and Sylvia with a guilty expression, and fell silent again.

    If they remember correctly, this Miss Sylvia is about to get engaged to Ah Ran’s cousin, Prince Anderson, and can be called his prospective cousin.

    And he came out of his cousin’s bedroom, and he seemed to say that he changed his clothes inside. Is there something wrong?

    At this time, Prince Anderson hurried over.

    As he entered the door, he asked: “Ran, what naughty idea did Sylvia give you, how could I hear the servant say that you want to carry my old clothes to wear…”

    Yu Qiuran quickly greeted her and greeted with a loud laugh, “Cousin, you’re here!”

    Before she came out, she did arrange for a servant to quickly clean up the vacant villa next door, and put Anderson’s various clothes and masculine utensils into the scene first.

    Otherwise, she will receive Ao Jingyi and the others who will meet abroad in a while, and she must not have an independent residence for Earl.

    It seemed that the movement was too big, which alarmed Anderson.

    She turned her back to the crowd and winked at Anderson desperately, and at the same time made up a reason: “It was Sylvia who showed me your old dress, I think the style is good, I want to borrow a few sets Tailor for reference.”

     Anderson received her gaze and found three people who suddenly appeared in the room.

    As the head of St. Pattis College, one of the three major colleges in the world, he naturally knew the three people of the East Mang Society.

    He thought that Sylvia had been grinding with him recently, saying that Yu Qiuran could not reveal his true gender to the outside world, and hoped that he would support dyeing and wearing men’s clothes to attend the engagement banquet.

    But at the same time, he was ordered by Aunt Elizabeth to tell him not to let Yu Qiuran fool around.

      He sighed and compromised: “Okay, it’s up to you.”

    In his second year of middle school, he was madly infatuated with pirate movies, and ordered tailors to make a lot of such dresses, imagining that he could go to sea to fight and wander in blood.

    But as the only prince in the blood of the Crown Prince, for political reasons, he must not wear this style of clothing. So after the clothes are done, you can only hang them there to enjoy your eyes.

    Now that Yu Qiuran puts on her body, it unexpectedly fits.

    Andreessen had an inexplicable feeling of a dream come true. He patted Yu Qiuran’s shoulder: “You look handsome in it.”

    Zhan Shenlang, who knows some inside information, is in a calm mood.

    But Hua Chengya and Ao Jingyi looked at the “cousins” who were close and behaved, and their three views had exploded.

    So, Ah Ran was wearing the clothes of his close cousin, sneaking around in his cousin’s bedroom and not knowing what to do.

    His cousin looked guilty.

    However, his cousin looked relieved, and thought this uniform was very fun to play, and praised Ah Ran for being handsome.

    Although I heard that the ethical relationship between European royal families is very open, they really did not expect this open law.

    The six sat down to drink tea, Yu Qiuran asked, “Why did you guys come here as designers?”

    Hua Chengya explained the whole story.

    It turned out that at the previous Midsummer Night Ball, the dance partner he contacted, the internationally renowned jewelry designer sister, after initial contact with him, thought he was a good person.

    The two negotiated a business and established a partnership.

    Many of Hua Chengya’s recent works are published under the pseudonym “Cheng” through the studio of her senior.

    Because of the novel and beautiful design concept, “Cheng” quickly made a name in the world and is known as a cutting-edge designer in the jewelry industry.

    Sylvia, as a gem | the fiancée of the prince, will enter the social season after the engagement banquet. For the next big and small feasts, she needs to customize a lot of jewelry.

    Gems｜The royal family is a frequent visitor to the sister studio. It’s a lucrative order and a great opportunity to make a name for itself. The senior recommended different designers, including Hua Chengya, to discuss with Sylvia one by one.

    Speaking of this, Sylvia waved her hand: “Since everyone knows it, then the designers behind don’t need to read it. I believe that friends who dye it, just use Cheng directly.”

    Hua Chengya made a move.

    Yu Qiuran smiled: “Don’t do this Sylvia, I think that even without me, Ah Cheng will use his strength to win your praise. And your order number is too many Too much, he can’t be busy by himself.”

    The quick-talking Sylvia realized the inappropriateness of her words, and cast an apologetic look at Hua Chengya a little embarrassedly.

    Hua Chengya knew that she had no bad intentions, said she didn’t mind, and took out the design draft prepared in advance: “Would you like to take a look now?”

    Because Anderson intends to take a break from his busy schedule, he will stay with his fiancee and give her advice.

    Yu Qiuran, who didn’t want to be a light bulb, took the opportunity to stand up: “You guys talk, I’ll go back and change clothes.”

    Even if she is thick-skinned, sitting and drinking tea in a medieval pirate uniform that is very different from everyone else, she will feel a little funny.

    Ao Jingyi and Zhan Shenlang followed her back to the “Count’s Villa”.

    As soon as they entered the gate of the villa, the maids all put on their skirts and curtseyed: “Lord Count, you are back.”

    Yu Qiuran secretly looked at the decoration all the way, and he was relieved. The head maid’s execution is very good, and it looks like it’s ready now.

    After changing clothes, the three sat in the flower hall chatting and waiting for Hua Chengya.

    Yu Qiuran asked: “Why are you acting as assistants to accompany Ah Cheng? Is he hiding from his family?”

    Ao Jingyi explained.

    The cooperation between Hua Chengya and her senior sister has really not been known to the Hua family. To the outside world, Cheng, a mysterious designer who has just emerged, is a commoner boy with no background.

    When some royal families adopt designers, the screening of identity is also a consideration. Ao Jingyi and Zhan Shenlang couldn’t bear Hua Chengya to miss this opportunity, so they wanted to support him.

    Ao Jingyi said: “I met Prince Anderson before. And considering that you are visiting relatives in the gem | country, we plan to contact you to play together.”

    Yu Qiuran took a sip of tea.

    Among the three members of the Dongmang Club, naturally, Ao Jingyi has seen all kinds of big scenes.

    Although Zhan Shenlang doesn’t like to be social, he has a lot of experience with Zhan family master.

    Thinking of this, she put down the cup, sat up straight and asked, “In that case, do you want to stay for the prince’s engagement banquet?”

    An engagement banquet is a great opportunity to expand your network and benefit all three. Especially Hua Chengya, whether it is because of his secret designer identity Cheng, or as a direct descendant of the Hua family, this is an opportunity that can effectively improve his situation.

    Yu Qiuran added: “And I can’t go out to play recently. If you are all right, you can stay here with me.”

    Ao Jingyi moved a little: “Aran, are you okay with this?”

    At the royal engagement banquet, the guest list must be strictly reviewed, and it is not just one person who can bring people in. Ao Jingyi is worried about causing trouble to Yu Qiuran.

    Yu Qiuran waved her hand: “It’s okay, just say that Dongmang will be Anderson’s friend. I’ll mention it to him and ask him to send an invitation to you.”

    In addition, given the status of the four major families in China, it is very qualified for the direct descendants of the clan to attend this kind of banquet.

    On the other side, Hua Chengya and Sylvia finalized the details of the design draft.

    Prince Anderson got up and went to work.

    Before leaving, he shook hands with Hua Chengya and sincerely invited: “Since you are both friends of dyeing, just stay and attend my engagement banquet together.”

    Andersen has arranged for the Minister of Internal Affairs to take care of the three people’s accommodation in the summer palace.

    Hua Chengya agreed.

    Before he left, he took another look at the light tones and light and elegant decoration style in this villa.

    But Sylvia’s clothes and the revision suggestions she just made to the design draft all show her preference for complicated designs with strong enthusiasm.

    A Ran came out of the bedroom here today, revealing a sense of disobedience everywhere. Although Ah Ran is casual, she doesn’t seem to be a senseless person who changes clothes in the cousin’s bedroom.

    Hua Chengya thought about it all the way and returned to “Count Dye’s Villa”.

    The three in the flower room welcomed him back with a smile.

    His eyes swept across Yu Qiuran’s uniform, and paused at her shoulder. Combined with what Prince Anderson said when he entered the door, he had an incredible guess in his heart.

    In the next few days, several people settled in the summer palace.

    As a gem | a garden-style manor used by the royal family, it not only has beautiful natural scenery, but also houses different types of collections of the royal family over the years.

    In addition to drawing and designing drafts, Hua Chengya visited the dress and jewelry collection.

    Zhan Shen Lang plunged into the museum of cold weapons and medieval armor.

    Only Ao Jingyi came to Yu Qiuran every day, occupying a lot of her time. Every time Sylvia wanted to play with her, she would not be able to talk a lot because there was a third person present.

    Otherwise, they will just throw themselves in the air and get the news that the two have gone out.

    This time too.

    After being left behind many times, Sylvia deliberately woke up early this day and planned to pull Yu Qiuran out ahead of time, so that Ao Jingyi had to have a taste of what it was like to be emptied.

    In the end, when she arrived at the earl’s villa, the maid told her apologetically, “Ran Palace and Lord Ran have already gone out. Master Ao came to invite her early in the morning and wanted to go with her to enjoy the lake view in the morning.”

    Sylvia went back angrily, climbed the tower of her villa, used a telescope to investigate, and found two people who were boating on the lake.

    Ao Jingyi rowed a small wooden boat and watched Yu Qiuran reach out and pick up a newly blooming water lily from the water next to him.

    She smiled and said, “Go back later and give this to Sylvia, she told me a few days ago to wait for the water lilies to bloom.”

    Ao Jingyi paused: “Do you like her very much?”

    The little wooden boat paddled into a narrow channel.

    The two of them seemed to be in a promenade made of deep and light green, drawn casually and stretched. Birds chirped, and the oars made a rustling sound on the water surface, but it seemed that the place was more quiet and empty.

    Yu Qiuran put the water lilies in the boat and sat opposite Ao Jingyi. She replied, “I like it. Sylvia is a girl with a good personality, funny and cheerful.”

    Her compliments were sincere but calm. Different from her thinking about each other’s suitability everywhere, Ao Jingyi felt a strong sense of detachment in her eyes.

    The boat rowed out of the river and into the wide lake.

    Ao Jingyi looked at the sparkling lake, where the water and sky intersected in the distance. In the light gray morning mist, Yu Qiuran’s clear eyes reflected the vast world.

    A faint unease rose in his heart.

    They rowed from the closed tree shadows into the broad mist, still the two of them, but the narrow, secret intimacy disappeared.

    Yu Qiuran also picked up the wooden paddle and rowed with great interest: “Ayi, you’ve been rowing for a long time, are you tired? Let me take a break.”

    Ao Jingyi suppressed the strange emotions in his heart. He reached out his hand and gently took off the little flower that fell from her hair when Yu Qiuran rubbed the vine just now.

    He sighed: “A lot of good things can’t be kept.”

    Yu Qiuran picked up the flower from his palm, threw it into the water, and let it go with the wave: “You have seen its most beautiful moment, and there will be more next year.”

    Ao Jingyi glanced at her free and easy expression. Next year, it will not be this year anymore, just like the girls around Ah Ran, wave after wave.

    She is always sincere to people, but it seems that it is difficult to stay for anyone in the end, as free as the wind, elusive and unstoppable.

    He was suddenly worried about their friendship.

    The two rowed to a corner and went ashore. When Yu Qiuran jumped onto the rocks on the shore, she accidentally stepped on the moss and slipped.

    Ao Jingyi opened his arms in a panic to catch her.

    In order to ensure Yu Qiuran’s safety, he let her head hit his chin hard.

    After Yu Qiuran stood up straight, he saw the red marks on his face that he had knocked out on his face, reached out and rubbed it for him, and then handed him the water lily: “Give it to you.”

    Ao Jingyi asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going to give it to Sylvia?”

    Yu Qiuran waved her hand: “Let someone else pick it for her, I’d better give it to Ayi.”

    Ao Jingyi took the flower and smiled.

    Sylvia on the tower put down her telescope, thoughtful. Although she couldn’t hear what the two of them said, she always felt that the atmosphere between them was not right.

    She decided to try it out.

     Yu Qiuran and Ao Jingyi had just finished breakfast when they saw Sylvia come to visit cheerfully: “Ran, they said the church is ready. I plan to go and see first, Anderson is too busy, come with me.”

    Yu Qiuran also became interested. She agreed immediately. Ao Jingyi accompanied the visit.

    They entered the church. The high dome is painted with colorful paintings of religious stories. The light shines through the colorful glass, casting beautiful and vivid colors on the rows of white benches.

    In such a solemn and sacred atmosphere, they couldn’t help but lower their voices.

    Sylvia held Yu Qiuran’s arm tightly, walked solemnly from the aisle between the two rows of benches, and from time to time rested her head on her shoulder, her posture was very intimate.

    Ao Jingyi, who was adorned in the back, suddenly felt a little angry.

    Sylvia glanced at his face, and out of nowhere came out a colored note and a quill pen, and suggested in a sweet voice: “Ran, you write a blessing note Give it to me, and wish me to be beautiful forever.”

    Ao Jingyi frowned, when Sylvia called Yu Qiuran’s name today, she seemed to have a longer ending than usual, always acting like a spoiled child.

    The church here can write down the words of blessing, and then drop the letterhead into the mailbox under the altar.

    Yu Qiuran didn’t think much, took the pen and responded.

    She directly thought of a poem that Sylvia said she liked very much, and wrote: “ShallIcomparetheetoasummer’sday…”

    She quoted Shakespeare’s sonnet: May I compare you to summer? Although you are sweeter and gentler than summer… your eternal summer will not end, and the beauty you have will not disappear…

    Ao Jingyi saw her writing down a smooth and beautiful flower body without hesitation, his eyes seemed to be scalded, he shrank, and moved to the side.

    After Sylvia got it, she read it aloud, then rushed up to hug Yu Qiuran and gave her a loud kiss on the face.

    Yu Qiuran didn’t know what the other party was excited about. She touched the lipstick on her face and pushed Sylvia away in disgust: “I’ll go to the bathroom and wipe my face.”

    Only Sylvia and Ao Jingyi were left in the church.

    Sylvia put the blessing note in the envelope, turned to Ao Jingyi and said with certainty, “You like dyeing.”

    Ao Jingyi looked stunned: “What did you say?”

    Sylvia shook the letter in her hand with a smile and dropped it into the mailbox.

    Ao Jingyi’s eyes involuntarily followed the letter and fell into the dark crevice of the letterbox.

    He heard the other party say: “Perhaps you didn’t pay attention, when I read the poem Ran wrote to me, jealousy and loss flashed on your face, that’s not what a friend should show .”

    Sylvia walked past him briskly: “I won’t help you break it, you can arrange your emotions and tell Ran. For the sake of your secret love, I will Forgive you for always grabbing ‘him’ from me.”

    Yu Qiuran came out after washing her face, and found that only Ao Jingyi was standing there blankly.

    She asked, “Where’s Sylvia?”

    Ao Jingyi looked at her as if sleepwalking: “She went back first.”

    In the next few days, he said that he would handle the affairs of the Ao family remotely, and rarely came to see Yu Qiuran.

    Yu Qiuran spent more time with Sylvia.

    During the period, Yu Qiuran asked her strangely: “What did you tell him that day? Why do I feel something is wrong?”

    Sylvia fell on her with a smile: “Are you sure he doesn’t know you are a girl?”

    Yu Qiuran asked vigilantly: “I’m sure. You won’t leak in front of him, right?”

    Sylvia shook her head: “How could it be? I promised to help you keep it a secret.”

    Seeing Yu Qiuran’s completely puzzled expression, she sighed loudly: “Oh, although it’s a good show, I also feel a little sympathy for him.”

    Yu Qiuran: ?

    However, she soon ran out of time for other things.

    Because her dear mother, Elizabeth, loves her daughter so much, at a banquet, she happily announced in advance that her daughter Ran would make her first public appearance at the engagement banquet.

    The news quickly spread throughout the social world. Everyone has confirmed that the mysterious little princess in the royal family is the biological daughter of Princess Elizabeth, whose name is Ran.

    During the afternoon tea time of the four members of the Dongmang Club, Hua Chengya suddenly brought up this topic.

    Ao Jingyi also had doubts: “Is this princess’ name the same as yours?”

    Yu Qiuran laughed dryly: “You know, in Europe, it is very common for younger generations to inherit the names of elders, so the rate of duplicate names is relatively high.”

    Ao Jingyi looked at her smart smile, curled her fingers, and fell into silence again.

    Hua Chengya also seemed to believe this statement and did not ask any further questions.

    Yu Qiuran took the opportunity to tell them that he would not be attending the engagement banquet.

    The other three were momentarily surprised.

    Hua Chengya’s eyebrows moved slightly, and she covered her expression by bowing her head and drinking tea.

    Yu Qiuran made up an excuse: “Because some royal families are secretive, it is inconvenient for me to appear in front of the media, but I will attend the second half of the engagement banquet.”

    Because of the pit Elizabeth dug for her, she could not attend directly as an earl, so she could only find a way to appear as a princess first, to deal with the part of the church ceremony that was publicly recorded and reported.

    She made detailed preparations to ensure that the dressup plan was “safe”.

    However, the plan always fails to keep up with the changes. After the first half, she failed to escape successfully.
