Chapter 1189: 098 Snowball (Seven Updates)

Sitting at her own seat, Lin Yuan picked up her teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, Yan Ruchun remembered something and looked past the rim of her cup at Xu Muqing, "Right, what did you send in the winter? It couldn’t have been snowballs, could it?"

At the mention of snowballs, Xu Muqing, who had been drooling over the apple blossoms, turned around in alarm and exclaimed, "How did you know? Yes, yes, I sent snowballs! And Brother Rong really liked them, he kept them all this time!"

Not only did Yan Ruchun become curious, but Lin Yuan was also intrigued. How could snowballs be preserved? Could it be that this Brother Rong mentioned by Xu Muqing had some special way of storing them? If there really was a good method to preserve snowballs, she needed to learn it well, so she could use it to keep ice in the future—it was too inconvenient to hide ice in the ice cellar.

However, the Brother Rong mentioned by Xu Muqing clearly did not meet Lin Yuan’s expectations.

Xu Muqing blushed shyly, her plump cheeks turning red, and she lowered her eyelids embarrassingly, looking very much like a little woman in love, "Brother Rong, he said he wanted to keep what I gave him forever, so he, he gathered all the snowballs together, and used them for bathing."

Pfft!

Cough cough!

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, and Yan Ruchun almost spit out the tea in her mouth!

Bathing? How many snowballs had this fatty sent that Second Fool!

Xu Muqing’s face turned even redder, and her lips almost stretched to the back of her ears, "Actually, Brother Rong originally thought of using them to wash his hair, but in the end, I sent so many snowballs that he could only put them all in the bathtub and simply used them for bathing. Brother Rong, he also said bathing with the snowballs I sent made his body smell like winter, which was particularly fragrant."

Watching Xu Muqing’s enamored look of being head over heels in love, Yan Ruchun was speechless and waved her away, "Alright, alright, you just take good care of that apple blossom! Why don’t you let your maid hold it? Don’t you end up eating it again on impulse!"

Xu Muqing pouted her lips and walked back to her seat, retorting discontentedly, "I already said, I won’t eat it! No matter how delicious it is, I won’t eat anything meant for Brother Rong!"

"Ptui!" Yan Ruchun didn’t believe her, "Last time, you begged those strawberries off me, claiming they were for your Brother Rong, right? In the end? Didn’t you just send a bunch of strawberry stalks? Humph, if Brother Rong wasn’t a man, I bet you’d eat him up too before you were satisfied!"

"Not at all!"

Xu Muqing sat back down, still carefully cradling the apple blossom in her hands without any intention of putting it down. She signaled her maid to pick up a morsel of food and feed it to her. After swallowing it down in just a couple of bites, she mumbled, "Brother Rong said, it should be him eating me, actually."

Seeing Xu Muqing’s clueless expression, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed for her. Such an obvious hint, probably only this simple-minded girl, who only thought about eating and Brother Rong, wouldn’t understand!

Indeed, everyone at the table blushed and bowed their heads, silently eating their food.

Xiao Linshuang was still young and naturally did not understand, but Cheng Yuexiu beside her did. Not knowing whom she was thinking of, her cheeks were especially flushed, as if her soul was about to drift away.

Xiao Linshuang called her name three times without waking her up. In the end, it was Guo Mei who maliciously took off the hairpin from her head and jabbed Cheng Yuexiu’s thigh hard to bring her back to her senses.

Clutching her blood-stained thigh, crying out in pain, Cheng Yuexiu glared at the gloating Guo Mei, nearly shooting fire from her eyes.

Xiao Linshuang couldn’t stand Cheng Yuexiu who seemed to spend every moment thinking of how to court favor from Su Qiuyu. With a turn of her eyeballs and a hidden flick of her hand beneath her wide sleeves, Xiao Linshuang appeared to casually swipe something onto Cheng Yuexiu’s body.

"Alright, alright, I’m full now. You two go and have your meal too!"

Xiao Linshuang wiped her tiny mouth with a handkerchief, patted her now round belly, and waved her hand, signaling the pair they could leave.

Hearing that the Little Demon was finally letting them go, Cheng Yuexiu’s eyes brightened, and she moved to stand and leave. Guo Mei, however, cautiously asked another question, "Has Miss Lin forgiven me?"

Xiao Linshuang nodded, completely abandoning the thought of also smearing something on Guo Mei, and waved her small hand saying, "Forgiven, forgiven, but you two still have to remember, in the future when you see us, you must bow and greet us respectfully."

After finishing, she looked at Guo Mei and kindly reminded her, "Oh right, Miss Guo, you especially should be careful. Don’t think someone’s good to you now—they might turn their back on you in the next moment!"

Guo Mei looked up at Cheng Yuexiu with a smile on her lips, "Miss Lin is right. The person who was just being overly friendly with me, stabbed me in the back the next moment. Such people are truly numerous!"

Feeling a bit uneasy under Guo Mei’s gaze, Cheng Yuexiu nevertheless straightened her back, said nothing, and returned to her seat. Although she was kept by Xiao Linshuang’s side to attend to her, Cheng Yuexiu’s seat was next to Su Qiuyu. Strictly speaking, with her father’s position, she wouldn’t be able to sit in such a forward spot, but then—who could blame someone for currying favor with an important figure?

Watching Cheng Yuexiu’s arrogant demeanor, Guo Mei curled her lips in contempt and headed straight for her own seat. She hadn’t curried favor with the mighty Su Qiuyu, so she had no right to sit in the front.

But Guo Mei, now settled in a back seat, had firmly decided it was foolish to keep flattering people, as the next moment she might be betrayed by someone.

Cheng Yuexiu, who had returned to her seat, was already starving, but the first thing she did wasn’t to hastily eat; instead, she poured a glass of wine and personally went to Su Qiuyu to offer a toast.

Seeing her behave like this, the other girls all sneered disdainfully.

Lin Yuan also curled her lips, thoroughly impressed by Cheng Yuexiu’s skills at ingratiating herself with others.

Meanwhile, Xiao Linshuang, busy rubbing her belly to aid digestion, suddenly chuckled mischievously, to the puzzlement of Lin Wei and Xiao He.

Perhaps everyone had been frightened by the dagger in Lin Yuan’s hand. Since her exquisite knife skills performance, no one had proposed to showcase their talents again.

Tian Xuan even secretly approached Lin Yuan and told her that surely no one would dare to ask Lin Yuan to perform at banquets anymore.

After speaking, she glanced at the dagger now returned to Lin Yuan’s waist with some trepidation, as if the ornately decorated dagger was not a mere accessory but a lethal weapon that had taken numerous lives.
