Chapter 690: Chapter 338 The First Time_2

Liang Jinzhao saw that Qian Yixiu wasn’t angry and even responded to him, which filled him with joy. He hastened his steps to catch up with her. If there hadn’t been a lack of trees to provide cover, he surely would have pulled her into an embrace and kissed her again. He was too nervous earlier and everything had happened too quickly, so he didn’t fully savor the moment.

On the other side of the lake, Liang Gao was very aware not to follow them. He watched as Miss Qian quickly emerged from the shade of the willow trees with the Young Master following close behind.

Liang Gao just shook his head. The Princely Heir was astute in every other aspect, but when it came to women, he was unusually dense and clumsy. At the beginning of his apprenticeship, he lacked awareness, but once he became aware, he constantly thought about Miss Qian, eagerly waiting for her to grow up. Finally, now that Miss Qian had reached the age of ceremony and they were betrothed, he should’ve at least spent more time under the shade of the willows with her. In such a brief time, the Young Master surely didn’t even touch a single hair on Miss Qian. It seemed that he had spent too much time in the temple and had become too accustomed to celibacy.

Having been married since last year and with his wife now pregnant, Liang Gao had garnered some experience in such matters and felt a competitive frustration with his master’s performance. He had realized that one couldn’t possibly excel at everything!

When Qian Yixiu and Liang Jinzhao arrived at this side of the lake, they headed directly for the Drooping Flower Gate, with Liang Jinzhao following her. Seeing them both with flushed faces rushing their steps, Liang Gao wanted to follow and attend to them, but Liang Jinzhao glared at him, and he did not dare to continue.

Walking on the path to Plum Court, the sun had become extremely scorching at this hour, and there were few trees to offer shade along the small path, making it hard to keep one’s eyes open.

Under normal circumstances, maids would’ve shielded Qian Yixiu with a parasol from the sun, but today, without the maids, she had to use a kerchief to cover her forehead.

Liang Jinzhao quickly stooped down to pick a large, emerald lotus leaf from the pond, holding it up to shade Qian Yixiu from the sunlight.

Qian Yixiu reached out to take the lotus leaf from him, holding it herself.

She was dressed in a light pink sheer gown, slender and graceful. Because she was holding the lotus leaf, her sleeves slid down, revealing a section of her arm as pale and lovely as jade. Her beautiful face, illuminated by the sunlight, was tender as a peach blossom in March, and her long black eyelashes occasionally fluttered, quickening Liang Jinzhao’s heartbeat.

In a soft voice, Liang Jinzhao said, "Yixiu, we’ll be married next year and can always be together..."

Indeed, the Liang and Qian families had decided that they would be married next February. Qian Yixiu’s heart felt as soft as the summer breeze, and she lowered her head without speaking. Having known Uncle Liang for so long, she’d always been aware that he was a good man, far better than marrying anyone else. But the distinct sensation she had for him seemed to have started on their way to Cave Sky Pool. His meticulous care and consideration made her feel this man was a rare gem among ancient men and the sturdiest support she could have for the rest of her life.

Thinking about it, her situation was quite tragic; twice a person of this world, this was her first experience with love, and also the very first time she had been kissed by a man.

Though it was only a light kiss, like a dragonfly skimming the water, it was still a milestone for her in both her lives.

Unable to hold back, the Pearl Kid hidden in the Clam Shell House spoke up in jest, "Mother, what are you doing with your heart thumping so wildly? It’s louder than a great bell and almost deafening me."

Qian Yixiu blushed even more and patted her chest, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, you’re annoying."

Pearl Kid then teased Liang Jinzhao, "Uncle Liang, your skin is too thin. You only kissed my mother for a moment, and your face is as red as Monkey Brother’s."

Qian Yixiu, irritated, gave the clamshell a pat.

Liang Jinzhao said incredulously, "You sure know a lot, are immortals, well, do they also...?"

With the air of an expert, Pearl Kid replied, "Silly, if they didn’t, where would the Seven Fairies come from..."

The conversation was becoming more and more inappropriate. Qian Yixiu grabbed the clamshell to stop its voice from carrying further.

Liang Jinzhao was somewhat taken aback and shook his head, "This, this child..."

When they arrived at Plum Court, Qian Sangui was still downstairs weaving mats.

Liang Jinzhao went over and bowed, saying with a smile, "Grandpa Qian, the mats you weave are the best, thick and smooth. My grandfather still uses one you gave him last year."

Qian Sangui was extremely pleased to hear this and immediately said that if they liked it, he would give them two more mats today.

Mingming was very fond of Liang Jinzhao and upon hearing of his arrival, hurried out, stretching her arms wide and calling, "Big Uncle, lift me up high."

Because Liang Jinzhao was tall with long arms, he could lift her higher than anyone else, which was why Mingming liked being lifted by him.
