Chapter 564: Chapter 566: That Heartbroken Man_1

In the third month, the Peach Garden came into full bloom, standing amid the sea of peach blossoms was a lady dressed in blue. She wore clothing of her own making made up of different types of fabric patched together, and yet the clothes looked astonishingly beautiful on her.

With the warmer weather, she had cast off her winter cloak, revealing an even more enchanting figure with curves that were soft and pleasing.

In her hand was a string of large wooden rosary beads, her earrings were unusually large, and her lips were painted a striking red.

In the midst of the Peach Garden, her charming figure was particularly eye-catching.

Yu Peng was completely enraptured by her.

Only when Xue Ling spotted him and called out to him did he hastily approach her, holding two skewers of candied haws.

Xue Ling showed no interest in the candied haws. She gave them a lazy glance and said, "I don’t need it, you eat it. This thing is too sweet and sticky, it’ll get my hands dirty. "

Xue Ling thought that only a country girl like Nan Feng would find this thing attractive.

Oh, and the immature Xiaolun.

"No, If it gets your hands dirty, I can clean it up for you. I have a handkerchief in my bag," Yu Peng insistently attempted to offer the candied haws to Xue Ling. But Xue Ling refused to eat them, so Yu Peng could only follow Xue Ling awkwardly with the two skewers of candied haws in his hand.

There were a lot of people here to see the peach blossoms, and sometimes it was overcrowded, which irritated Xue Ling.

If it weren’t for the fact that Yu Peng had asked her out three times, she would never have agreed to come and enjoy the peach blossoms.

Such great weather, wouldn’t it be better to sleep in her store.

Even if she didn’t sleep, she could have taken a boat to the Provincial City to hang out with Nan Feng and the others.

Forget it, better not to go. Nan Feng would say she wasn’t taking her shop seriously.

Yu Peng was introducing to Xue Ling: "These peach blossoms are famous in the county. They were planted by a wealthy merchant in the past. The merchant later moved to Capital City, but he didn’t sell this garden. Instead, he donated it to the Yamen and they have been keeping this place for public viewing."

As Xue Ling glanced at the fallen peach blossoms on the ground, she absent-mindedly commented, "That’s a pity."

"Oh? Xue Ling, why do you think it’s a pity?" Yu Peng asked.

While Xue Ling was not paying attention, Yu Peng picked a peach blossom, planning to tuck it into her hair later. Peach blossoms coupled with her face would certainly be stunningly beautiful.

Yet Xue Ling replied, "Now that it’s for public viewing, some people think that since it’s not their property, they can carelessly pick and break the flowers. In a few months there won’t be any peaches left here, so isn’t it a pity?"

"...." Yu Peng then discreetly threw the plucked blossom onto the ground when Xue Ling wasn’t watching.

"Xue Ling, do you like eating peaches?" asked Yu Peng, hearing what Xue Ling had just said.

Xue Ling shook her head: "It’s alright, I can eat it, I can also do without it."

Seeing that Xue Ling didn’t show much interest in anything, Yu Peng asked her again, "So, how about these peach blossoms, do you think they’re beautiful?"

Xue Ling gave the same answer: "It’s alright."

Yu Peng felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

Having known Xue Ling for so long, her attitude towards him had always been lukewarm, undefined. She could sum up her feelings about him in two words: "It’s alright!"

However, since she was naturally aloof, Yu Peng didn’t take it to heart.

She lost her parents at a young age and her only elder brother died prematurely, leaving her all alone. It’s only normal for her to be indifferent. So Yu Peng vowed to be good to her.

After a while, Yu Peng noticed a tea vendor at the outskirts of the Peach Garden, he asked Xue Ling if she wanted to have some tea. Xue Ling was tired of walking, all she saw was the same garden and identical peach blossoms, so she agreed to go have some tea.
