Chapter 1198: 107 Not good-looking (first update)

No matter how much Su Tianrui pleaded, Xia Zheng just frowned and refused, and at last, when he was really annoyed by him, Xia Zheng slammed the table and angrily said, "Su Tianrui, have you forgotten what I told you at the beginning? The person I like is Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan is the one who will be my future wife! Su Qiu Yu is just your sister, and I only see her as a sister, as for anything else, don’t even think about it!"

Out of his strong protective feelings for his sister, Su Tianrui saw that Su Qiu Yu had been unconscious for several days, and he grew increasingly anxious, naturally thinking of asking her love interest, Xia Zheng, for help.

But he had forgotten that Xia Zheng did not have feelings for Su Qiu Yu, and no matter what he said, he could not change this fact.

With his head hung low, Su Tianrui walked away dejectedly.

Watching Su Tianrui’s slightly desolate figure receding, Xia Zheng sighed, wondering if their friendship would really sour because of Su Qiu Yu?

While the other young ladies attending the banquet were busy finding doctors for pulse diagnosis to prevent rashes, Xu Muqing was in a hurry to leave, not listening to whatever her parents said to persuade her.

She had already arranged to meet with Wei Borong at the teahouse early in the morning.

In the teahouse, the brothers Wei Boyu and Wei Borong sat in an elegant room. Wei Borong kept looking out of the window, restless for the arrival of his beloved, pacing back and forth desperately. The entire room was filled with the sound of his sighing and footsteps.

Watching the figure pacing back and forth before him, Wei Boyu frowned and knocked on the table, saying, "Borong, just sit down and relax. Didn’t Miss Xu’s maid come by just now to relay a message? Miss Xu is fine, it’s just that she’s been delayed by Miss Tian and the two Miss Lins. You pacing like this is making my head spin."

After hearing his brother’s words, Wei Borong, who was slightly portly, plopped down beside the table, anxiously saying, "It’s all your fault, big brother. I wanted to visit Mu Qing at Xu Mansion, but you insisted that it’s too early and inappropriate. Mu Qing and I have long been in love; doesn’t everyone in the Capital City know this? What does propriety matter, anyway, anyway, I just want to see her."

As he spoke, Wei Borong’s brow furrowed tightly, still not reassured and suddenly stood up so abruptly that he nearly knocked the table over, "No, I’m still not at ease. Miss Tian has gone to find her, it must be because Mu Qing is not feeling well! I have to go see her, I need to see her!"

Wei Boyu rubbed his forehead in headache; his younger brother was good in many ways except for being single-minded. He could cope with anything else, but when it came to Xu Muqing, he seemed utterly unyielding and obtuse.

"Alright, Borong, now that you’ve waited so long, just wait a little longer. I believe Miss Xu definitely hasn’t had an accident, otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked you to wait here," he said.

At that moment, Wei Borong suddenly turned around, looking suspiciously at his brother, "Right, big brother, I just remembered I had something to ask you, but I forgot about it when you started talking. Now I must ask you quickly before I forget again."

Wei Boyu was even more speechless; how his brother, with his forgetful mind, was able to retain so much knowledge from books, sometimes even exceeding him, was beyond his understanding.

Before he knew it, Wei Borong had already taken a seat next to him, apparently having forgotten about going to find Xu Muqing.

"Big brother, you said that if Mu Qing misses me, it’s fine to see me, so why did she specifically ask you to come with me? Tell me, does she miss you too?"

The first part of his brother’s question was fine, but upon hearing the latter part, Wei Boyu nearly spit out the tea he had just drunk.

What does it mean she’s thinking of him too? Such indecent words could only come from his silly, single-minded younger brother!

"Don’t spout nonsense!" Wei Boyu smacked Wei Borong’s forehead with a slap, feeling as though he definitely hadn’t consulted the almanac before leaving the house that day. As soon as he stepped out, he ran into a foul-mouthed crow, and now, after finally settling down in the teahouse, he was forced to listen to his foolish brother’s babbling!

He sighed, feeling helpless, and waved his hand, "Aren’t you worried about Miss Xu? Better go and see her quickly!"

Wei Boyu believed that if he didn’t send his foolish brother away soon, he might spout some more outrageous and morally offensive things.

Upon hearing his elder brother’s words, Wei Borong’s curiosity was immediately quenched. He smacked his forehead and exclaimed as if suddenly realizing, "Right, I need to hurry and see Mu Qing! I’m off to find Mu Qing!"

After sending away Tian Xuan and Lin Wei by the Xiao He, Xu Muqing quickly took the apple blossoms she had begged from Lin Yuan and hurried to the teahouse. She had just got out of the carriage and started cautiously carrying the apple blossoms upstairs, muttering to herself, "Don’t wilt, don’t wilt, don’t wilt!"

After being left out overnight, the originally crystal-clear apple blossoms had taken on a rust color, looking as though they had wilted.

As soon as she reached the second floor, she bumped into Wei Borong, who was preparing to go out to look for her.

"Brother Rong!" As soon as she saw Wei Borong, Xu Muqing called out excitedly, but in less than a second, her face fell and she pouted, "Brother Rong, look, I had planned to give you an apple blossom, but for some reason, when I woke up this morning the flowers had changed color."

Xu Muqing held up the apple blossom to Wei Borong’s face, her voice breaking into a sob, "What should I do, Brother Rong? It’s not pretty anymore."

Wei Borong, who had been happy to see Xu Muqing safe and well, quickly became unhappy upon seeing her dismayed. He looked down at the apple blossom that Xu Muqing was holding high up to his face and, after a moment of thought, he said, "It’s alright, Mu Qing. Later, we can put them in water to soak and they will absorb some moisture and become beautiful again."

Xu Muqing’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Wei Borong wiped the tear from the corner of Xu Muqing’s eye with his finger and nodded affirmatively, "Of course, it’s true. Haven’t you seen how the flowers in the garden become pretty once they’re watered? Water is amazing."

Xu Muqing thought about it, recalling that the flowers she had seen in the summer indeed seemed just like that, and she couldn’t help but jump in excitement. Her body’s plumpness also trembled along, "Brother Rong is so smart, Brother Rong is the smartest person in the world!"

Complimented by the one he loved, Wei Borong was delighted, with a radiant look on his face. He carefully took the apple blossom from her hand and, taking her other hand, they entered the room.

Wei Boyu had finally managed to send his foolish brother away and was just about to rest his eyes for a moment when he heard the two of them enter, laughing and talking.

After giving Xu Muqing a nod as a greeting, Wei Boyu saw his brother pour out the tea he had just been drinking and fill the cup with a full glass of plain water.
