Chapter 359
At this moment, he subconsciously forgot that it was he who had intervened to make the two of them call each other brother and sister. But now, seeing this scene, he felt only jealousy boiling in his chest. Every time he looked at her, his heart became more and more suffocated, as if it were blocked by a tangled mess.
.........
The street outside the window was bustling, but the restaurant was eerily quiet. Ye Yi stole a glance at Ye Yunzhou and met his gloomy gaze. He shrank his neck, smiled awkwardly, and then lowered his head, hoping to reduce his presence.
"Didn't you say that you could please him during the Hundred Flowers Festival? Now, it's your turn." How could Ye Yunzhou let him go easily? He sneered.
Although he knew that the problems between him and Luo Shuiyao were primarily his own fault, Ye Yi's meddling had also created numerous obstacles for him. Thinking of this, Ye Yunzhou grew even angrier—if he was in such a bad mood, Ye Yi wouldn't be in such a good mood either.
Ye Yi had a hard time expressing his feelings, but he was so focused on making amends that he had no choice but to agree. Just as he was feeling worried, an idea suddenly occurred to him, which he thought was brilliant, and he felt much lighter. He puffed out his chest and vowed, "Don't worry! Once I come up with this plan, I guarantee that Miss Luo will fall deeply in love with you and will marry no one else but you!"
"I hope so." Ye Yunzhou snorted coldly. Although he was full of doubts, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
.........
Luo Shuiyao was completely oblivious to the conversation going on. She was pulling Du Lingfeng along, looking here and there. The two of them shuttled between the small vendors, and soon, Du Lingfeng had one hand full of snacks.
Seeing this, Chun Tao couldn't help but secretly remind her: "Miss, why don't you tell the young master to let us take the things."
In fact, Chuntao was not asking questions in vain. They had asked Du Lingfeng for it before, but Du Lingfeng acted as if he didn't hear them and ignored them completely.
Luo Shuiyao had rarely gone shopping since she'd traveled here, let alone in such a bustling environment. Her natural love of food and shopping was fully aroused, and she was filled with joy, wanting nothing more than to walk around. Chuntao's reminder prompted her to turn around and see Du Lingfeng carrying a large number of items in one hand. A closer look revealed the edges of his palms were red from being squeezed.
Luo Shuiyao felt guilty and hurried forward, wanting to take the things from Du Lingfeng's hand. She said with self-blame in her tone, "Brother, does your hand hurt? It's all my fault for not paying attention. Hurry up and give us the things!"
Du Lingfeng didn't dodge, letting Luo Shuiyao take the things in his hands and give them to Chun Tao and Chun Xing to carry. Then he slowly responded: "It doesn't hurt."
Luo Shuiyao was also holding two small paper bags in her hands. After hearing this, she looked at Du Lingfeng's hand worriedly, only to see that the red mark on his hand was gradually disappearing.
Du Lingfeng rarely goes out and has fair skin, so the red marks look particularly obvious.
Luo Shuiyao knew Du Lingfeng wouldn't lie. Since he said it didn't hurt much, it probably didn't hurt at all. She felt relieved. "Brother, what do you want? Is there anything you like? Why don't you tell me about it and we can pick something out together?"
Du Lingfeng shook his head. He really didn't want anything, and he had no interest in food. He had come out today entirely because the Right Prime Minister's wife and Luo Shuiyao had pushed him out. Du Lingfeng had never been good at saying no, but he also didn't enjoy socializing, so he carefully avoided crowds along the way.
Seeing that he truly didn't have what he wanted, Luo Shuiyao felt somewhat disappointed. Suddenly, she turned around, picked up the two masks she'd bought from a small vendor, and placed one on Du Lingfeng's face. The mask obscured Du Lingfeng's features, making it difficult to see his expression, but his eyes still revealed a look of bewilderment.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao smiled and explained, "This is called a mask. When I saw it, I felt it was especially suitable for you. You wear it first, and I'll wear one too. Let's go shopping for a while, and then I'll take you to dinner, how about that?"
Du Lingfeng stared at her, reached out and touched the mask on his face, thought for a moment, and nodded.
Seeing how obedient he was, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but reach out and poke his masked face. She secretly regretted not being able to see his dimples when he smiled. But she said, "Okay, let's go for a walk in front. Chuntao, Chunxing, follow us closely."
After saying that, Luo Shuiyao held Du Lingfeng's sleeve tightly, carefully avoided the crowd, and walked steadily forward.
Suddenly, a deafening cry of surprise came from the front, and the crowd instantly surged over like a tide, madly rushing over. Luo Shuiyao had no idea what was happening, so she quickly stood on tiptoe and tried to look forward. But the dense crowd in front of her was completely blocked by heads, making it impossible to see what was happening.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she subconsciously protected Du Lingfeng tightly behind her, shouting: "Chun Tao! Chun Xing! Where are you? Come to us quickly!" However, the crowd at the scene was so noisy that her voice was quickly drowned out, and Luo Shuiyao never received any response.
Although she desperately clutched Du Lingfeng's sleeve tighter, the two were still pushed back repeatedly by the surging crowd. Luo Shuiyao's grip on Du Lingfeng's sleeve gradually weakened, and she was eventually pushed away by the crowd.
Luo Shuiyao was terribly anxious. She had promised the Right Prime Minister's wife that she would bring Du Lingfeng back safely. Who could have imagined that she would encounter something like this on her first trip? Her anxiety grew. She called out to the guards hidden nearby, asking them to protect Du Lingfeng, but whether it was because of the chaos or something else, she received no response.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao ignored everything else and desperately struggled to navigate the crowd. Today was the Hundred Flowers Festival, and many men and women were out on dates. Many, fearing the possibility of running into acquaintances, wore masks, many of which were of the same style. But the mask Luo Shuiyao chose for Du Lingfeng was a plain black one, a rare sight.
Luo Shuiyao turned around a lot and finally spotted Du Lingfeng not far away. Du Lingfeng was facing her, and he seemed to be trying hard to squeeze towards her. Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao's face instantly lit up with joy, and she also exerted all her strength to squeeze towards Du Lingfeng.
Finally, Luo Shuiyao squeezed in next to Du Lingfeng. Without even checking to see if he was alright, she reached out and grabbed his hand. But in her panic, her grip slipped, so she spread her fingers apart and interlocked them with Du Lingfeng's.
At this moment, the most urgent thing is to find a safe place. The crowds here are so huge and crowded that if a stampede occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
