Chapter 116 Qingqing...Do you like him?
Chapter 116 Qingqing...Do you like him?
Hasn't he always been like this?
Catching sight of that familiar figure out of the corner of his eye, Mo Jing paused, his tall and straight posture faltering. "One incense stick's time for a break."
"worn out."
"Do you have any water? Can I borrow some?"
"Give!"
The recruits sat on the ground, panting, their faces contorted in pain.
"Finally, I can rest for a while!"
"Hey!"
"Who is that woman?"
"what?"
Several people huddled together, their eyes gleaming. They hadn't dared to look at her during training, but now, during their break, they were openly watching her.
"Beautiful women are pleasing to the eye!"
"By the way, has the general gone over there?"
That black figure, who else could it be but Shen Mo?
They will never forget this terrifying person who tormented them for more than half a month.
The group squinted and craned their necks to look in their direction.
Suddenly, Shen Mo stopped, turned his head, and glanced at the group of people.
Haha—what's for lunch today?
"My wife said she'd cook me something delicious!"
"You boy."
"When did you get a wife?"
"just."
"."
The group quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened.
"Why are you here, Qingqing?"
"Come and see what's going on." Shen Qingqing pointed over there.
She loves watching others train; the more pain they suffer, the happier she is.
It would be best to have some more food. Sitting here, feeling so content, makes the world seem a little more beautiful.
The scene that followed was that a deck chair appeared out of nowhere, Shen Qingqing was lying on it, Xiao Cui was guarding her, and Xiao Lin was called over to train the new recruits.
"Commander Xiao, is that woman the general's sweetheart?"
It's no wonder they had wild thoughts. As soon as this woman appeared, the general ignored them and peeled oranges without showing the slightest impatience.
Unheard of.
"Don't ask too many questions; the more you know, the shorter your life will be."
Xiao Lin revealed a sinister smile.
They were so frightened that they jumped in fright; none of the people around the general were normal.
Shen Mo was in a good mood until... he returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
"Qingqing, you're finally back!"
"Come on, come on, sit here."
Upon seeing Shen Qingqing, Yan Li's eyes brightened considerably, and his smile never faded.
"What are you standing for? Sit down."
Seeing Shen Mo standing there with a gloomy expression.
"Who is this?"
I was so focused on my little sister Qingqing that I didn't notice the people next to me.
"Shen Mo, General Shen."
"Is that General Shen who single-handedly conquered Xiliang and recaptured the city?"
Shen Mo ignored him, and Shen Jing nodded.
What's wrong with this kid? Could it be...?
"Why are you here?" Shen Qingqing changed the subject.
"I missed my little sister Qingqing, so I came here specifically to visit her and also to participate in the autumn hunting festival."
"I also brought you a lot of things, all of which I collected from different countries."
At the dinner table, Shen Mo's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened, his entire being shrouded in a low atmosphere. He silently peeled shrimp for Shen Qingqing.
As Yan Li got closer and closer, he put the shrimp into Shen Qingqing's bowl.
"Sister Qingqing, could you take me to the Autumn Hunting Festival?"
He had never participated before.
[Ding dong, the storyline has been unlocked. The next mission is to participate in the Autumn Hunting Festival.]
"it is good."
Snap—
The chopsticks fell to the ground, breaking the conversation between the two.
The servants quickly picked up the chopsticks and replaced them with a new set.
Yan Li: I always feel that General Shen is very hostile towards him. Is it just his imagination?
"Eat up, everyone, keep eating."
Shen Jing had a smile on his face.
His grandson is very popular; if he falls for someone else in the future, he can't blame this old man.
"I'm finished eating, I'm leaving now."
Shen Mo left, fearing that if he didn't leave soon, he might lose control and kill the other person.
"You're not going to eat it now?"
Shen Jing called out, but Shen Mo ignored him and left.
[Host, he seems angry.]
【ah? Why? 】
She ate all the shrimp that were peeled in the bowl; she never skipped any.
【you……】
Forget it, the host wouldn't understand even if I explained.
In the afternoon, Shen Qingqing accompanied Yan Li shopping. Well, it wasn't so much Shen Qingqing accompanying Yan Li as Yan Li accompanying Shen Qingqing, because Shen Qingqing didn't know the way.
Compared to Yan Li, he seems more like a foreigner.
"Qingqing, these are all so beautiful!"
In the jewelry store, Yan Li held up one piece of jewelry after another, gesturing to Shen Qingqing's head.
Shen Qingqing didn't refuse. They were good friends, and it's normal for friends to exchange gifts.
[Host, it seems you've never given Yan Li a gift.]
【Yeah? 】
In no time at all, all the jewelry boxes were bought.
"how much is this?"
"Sir, you have good eyesight!"
The waiter excitedly praised, "Sir, please look at this bracelet. It is made entirely of precious gold. The intricate patterns are the work of the best craftsman in the capital. He only makes one bracelet a year."
"This one alone can fetch over a hundred taels of gold!"
【! 】
It's so expensive, why don't you just rob someone!
Shen Qingqing secretly rolled her eyes, plotting how to get this silly boy away.
"purchase!"
Yan Li took out a bag of money and handed it to the waiter.
"Alright, sir, please wait a moment, I'll have someone pack it up for you right away."
Yan Li waved his hand, "Just take him away."
"okay."
Shen Qingqing was completely dazed when she returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
【What should we do now? 】
This bracelet on her wrist is so valuable; she doesn't have that much money to pay it back.
"This is back to you."
"Don't you like it, Qingqing? If you don't like it, we'll buy something else."
There were more people around during the day, so Shen Qingqing couldn't refuse, especially since she hadn't expected it to be bought for her.
"too expensive."
She carefully took off the bracelet, especially since the waiter had said before leaving that it was a gift for his future wife.
Her task was to stay by Mo Jing's side.
Yan Li stopped her, "Qingqing, this is my gift. If you don't want it, you can throw it away, but I will definitely give it to you."
【Host, you should just accept it. Your family's quite wealthy anyway. Use your money-counting ability to buy something else and send it back.】
This back-and-forth passing of the buck is against etiquette.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Qingqing accepted it.
It's a headache; this is the kind of thing she can't handle the most, and she doesn't like owing favors.
Back in her room, Shen Qingqing lit an oil lamp, took off her bracelet, and placed it together with the one Yan Li had given her earlier.
As soon as she closed the jewelry box, a mysterious force pulled her into her arms.
"Qingqing...do you like him?"
The sudden turn of events startled Shen Qingqing so much that her heart skipped a beat, and she was nearly scared to death.
"Qingqing, do you like him?"
Not getting the answer I wanted, the voice repeated itself.
[Host, you are Shen Mo.]
I can hear it.
His voice was low and hoarse, each word squeezed out from between his teeth.
In Shen Mo's eyes, Shen Qingqing diligently collected the gifts that person gave her and accompanied that person shopping.
I had a great time the whole time.
Of course, this was only in Shen Mo's eyes. In reality, Shen Qingqing hated shopping the most, and her legs would break every time she ran back.
I'm almost losing consciousness.
Unfortunately, there was no place to rest or stop in any of the shops in ancient times. Following Yan Li, the man was naturally full of energy, while she was getting old.
She was too tired to walk. If Shen Mo hadn't been holding her, she would have been lying in bed long ago.
