821. Chapter 821 Xun'er in the Boudoir (1/2)

Just as Xiao Yan was slowly savoring the jelly, he thought of Lingquan who had just come to trouble him, and he felt helpless again.

How to say it. Xiao Yan could more or less understand that they were unhappy with him, but six or seven people together could not even get a Dou Zun together, and Lingquan actually dared to come directly to trouble himself, a three-star Dousheng in the late stage. I really don’t know whether to say it is brave or stupid.

Probably relying on the fact that he dared not take action in the ancient clan, even so, Lingquan was quite bold, really not afraid of making himself angry?

At this moment, the previous clerk came over and looked at Xiao Yan with a guilty face.

"That. This customer"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I'm very sorry! I just slandered you!"

The clerk bowed deeply to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan waved his hand indifferently.

"Please raise your head. This is not your fault. The fault lies with the person who is causing trouble for me." Xiao Yan tapped the bowl of jelly with a spoon and said softly, "If he wants to cause trouble for me, he can drag anyone over to slander me. You are just unlucky to be chosen by him. Besides, this is not your intention, and you can't disobey him."

The more generous Xiao Yan was, the more uncomfortable the clerk felt. He felt very uncomfortable. He just helped the tyrant to wrongly accuse such a good person.

"This customer, I..."

"If you really feel sorry." Xiao Yan interrupted the clerk, picked up the empty bowl and looked at him with a smile, "Then please treat me to a bowl of jelly. This jelly is really delicious."

".Okay."

The clerk was silent for a while, and finally nodded gratefully, took the empty bowl and turned to prepare. Xiao Yan looked at the clerk's back as he left, then retracted his gaze, and lightly touched his side face in a daze.

At this time, the dusk outside had gradually dissipated, and the night slowly enveloped the street scene. The colorful lights on the street also lit up little by little, which looked very colorful and dazzling, making Xiao Yan vaguely think of the Xiao family's New Year.

Speaking of which, I have been busy with various things in the past few years and have forgotten about the New Year. Xiao Yan sighed in his heart and made a decision in his heart.

It is now past the middle of the year. After finishing all the things at hand, it will be almost the end of the year. Let's have a good New Year at that time.

But should I go back to Wutan City for the New Year this time? Or should I bring my father and others over?

Xiao Yan was thinking silently in his heart. At this time, an old and kind voice came into Xiao Yan's ears.

"Young man, what a coincidence."

"Huh?"

Xiao Yan came back to his senses and turned his head to see that the old woman who had given him jewelry before was standing next to him with a smile. Seeing this, Xiao Yan stood up quickly.

"Old man, why are you here?"

"Hehe~ It's already this late, I came here to have a quick bite, and I happened to meet you." The old woman put her hands behind her back and laughed, her wrinkled brows slightly touched, "If you don't mind, I'll sit at the same table with you."

"Of course I don't mind, please sit down."

Xiao Yan came to the opposite side to help the old woman pull out the chair. After the old woman sat down, Xiao Yan sat back in his seat and looked at the old woman with a smile.

"Old man, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you, just as a thank you for the jewelry you gave me before."

"Oh~ No, no, I can't eat much now, I just come here to eat something to satisfy my craving."

The old woman squinted and waved her hand. At this time, the clerk happened to bring the jelly in front of Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan was slightly stunned when he saw it.

The bowl that the clerk brought was more than three times larger than before, and the jelly inside was also full.

Xiao Yan pointed at the huge bowl of jelly and looked at the clerk in astonishment.

"This."

"This is my personal compensation, please enjoy it slowly."

The clerk said respectfully but firmly. Xiao Yan opened his mouth and then smiled helplessly.

"Thank you then." Then Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and said to the clerk: "Can you help me get two empty bowls?"

"Okay."

The clerk glanced at the old woman sitting opposite Xiao Yan, nodded and turned away, and soon brought two empty bowls. After thanking him, Xiao Yan stood up and served a bowl of jelly in front of the old woman.

"Old man, please try this first, this jelly is delicious."

The old woman looked at the jelly handed over by Xiao Yan, her wrinkles shrank into a ball, and she didn't say anything. She took it with a smile, and then Xiao Yan served herself a bowl, and the old and the young lowered their heads to eat the jelly.

After a while, the old woman suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, when I came here, I heard that a young man from another tribe was in trouble with those little bastards from the Black Annihilation Army. They were talking about you, right?"

"Ah, you heard about it too." Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek lightly. "I'm sorry that I've caused trouble to everyone on my first day here."

"They are the ones who are causing trouble for you. What are you embarrassed about?"

The old woman laughed and frowned slightly.

"I heard from others that your strength is much stronger than those little bastards, right? Why don't you just teach them a lesson?"

Hearing the old woman's question, Xiao Yan paused and then explained, "After all, I'm just an outsider. If they really fight, it will be troublesome." Xiao Yan flipped the jelly with a spoon and said softly, "Although it's not my fault, I came here with a few friends from the ancient tribe. If they find out after I fight, do you think they should help the justice or the relatives?"

"If you help the right, you will offend your family. You will inevitably be gossiped about by others."

"If you help your relatives, you will offend my friend. Even if I don't care, they will be embarrassed to see me in the future, right?"

"My friends are willing to bring me to the Ancient Clan because they trust me. In this case, I must not live up to this trust. At least I must avoid adding trouble to them. If I make things bigger without thinking about anything because I am in the right, it will put them in a dilemma. This is not what friends should do."

Xiao Yan explained slowly, and the old woman's turbid eyes revealed a faint glow.

Even though he has strong strength, he has not become arrogant because of this strength. He considers his friends' feelings and positions when speaking and doing things. This is the first time the old woman has seen such a temper in a young man.

The old woman was very satisfied after seeing Xiao Yan's handling method before. Now after hearing why Xiao Yan had to deal with it so troublesomely, the old woman's favorability towards Xiao Yan has risen steadily.

(If he had this kind of personality, Qinghan would not feel wronged if she followed him.) Thinking this way, the old woman looked at Xiao Yan with more and more satisfaction, and this undisguised look was naturally noticed by Xiao Yan, but he did not understand why, he just thought that the old woman agreed with his approach and smiled.

Not long after, Xiao Yan and the old woman finished the big bowl of jelly, and Xiao Yan looked at the old woman and asked softly.

"Old man, do you want to eat anything else?"

"No~" The old woman smiled and waved her hand lightly, "This jelly is delicious, I am satisfied."

After that, the old woman saw that the time was almost up, and she slowly stood up with the help of the table. Xiao Yan also quickly stood up and came to her side to support her seemingly weak body.

"Old man, where is your home? I have nothing to do right now, I'll take you home."

"Don't worry about it, young man. My granddaughter will come to pick me up soon."

The old woman pretended to refuse, and Xiao Yan didn't insist, but still helped the old woman out, and nodded to the clerk before leaving.

Just as Xiao Yan helped the old woman out of the tavern, a figure came from a distance. When he saw the old woman, he was happy at first, and then he was slightly stunned when he saw Xiao Yan who was supporting the old woman.

"Xiao Yan?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the person who came, and was also stunned, "Qinghan?"

With a cold temperament and a handsome face, who else could it be if not Gu Qinghan? "Why are you here?" Gu Qinghan asked doubtfully, looking at the old woman, "By the way, why are you with grandma?"

"Grandma?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then immediately reacted. It turned out that the granddaughter who the old woman just mentioned was Gu Qinghan?

The old woman saw the reactions of the two people, but pretended not to know, and narrowed her eyes at Gu Qinghan.

"What? Grandma, do you know this guy?"

"Yes, grandma, he is a friend of mine."

Gu Qinghan nodded and explained the relationship between himself and Xiao Yan. His words were also very frank. To put it bluntly, it was the relationship between a boss and a subordinate.

However, even though Gu Qinghan was so frank, the old woman's many years of experience still allowed her to hear the extremely deep emotions hidden in Gu Qinghan's words, and she was even happier in her heart.

She was originally very satisfied with Xiao Yan, a young man. Gu Qinghan had known Xiao Yan for a long time and had a secret crush on him. This marriage was like it was destined by God.

"Sun girl, I am sleepy, please take me back."

The old woman said to Gu Qinghan, and Gu Qinghan responded quickly, stepped forward to support the old woman on the other side, and then turned his eyes to Xiao Yan, smiling before asking Xiao Yan.

"I will go with you, there is nothing to do now."

". Yeah."

Gu Qinghan paused for a long time, and then nodded lightly, but Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in a strange way.

Why does it feel like Gu Qinghan's attitude towards him has become strange?

After that, the two of them slowly left the street with the old woman. Gu Qinghan and the old woman talked about family matters along the way, and they seemed to have a very close relationship.

Perhaps it was what Gu Lie had said to her before, Gu Qinghan deliberately did not talk to Xiao Yan along the way, either embarrassed or shy, in short, she didn't know how to face Xiao Yan.

However, no matter how ignorant you are, you still have to face it.

Finally, the two of them sent the old woman to the gate of a house. The old woman pushed open the gate and looked at the two of them slightly sideways.

"I am a little tired today, so I won't entertain you. You young people can have fun by yourselves." The old man looked at Gu Qinghan and said softly: "Sun girl, Xiao Yan just came today and is unfamiliar with the place. You can take him around more, ok~"

"Okay."

Gu Qinghan twitched the corner of his mouth imperceptibly, and responded awkwardly. The old woman chuckled, and slowly closed the door after entering the courtyard.

Without the old woman, Xiao Yan clearly felt that the atmosphere between himself and Gu Qinghan had become a little awkward. Gu Qinghan remained silent, so Xiao Yan had no choice but to take the lead in breaking the silence.

"Qinghan."

"Huh? Ah! Here!"

Gu Qinghan was lost in thought about how to face Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan's call brought her back to her senses, and she immediately straightened her body instinctively and responded, making Xiao Yan look at her in amusement.

"Now that you are in the Ancient Clan, there is no need to act like a second-in-command. Relax, otherwise your younger brothers and sisters will cause trouble for me again."

"Ha, I know." Gu Qinghan responded awkwardly, then reacted and looked at Xiao Yan blankly, "Wait? What do you mean I'm coming to trouble you again?"

Hearing Gu Qinghan's inquiry, Xiao Yan did not hide anything and told Gu Qinghan what happened before. Anyway, Lingquan itself was a black Annihilation army. The matter that caused trouble for him today would sooner or later reach Gu Qinghan's ears. There was nothing to hide. of.

As Gu Qinghan listened to Xiao Yan's narration, his face became more and more ugly, and in the end it was almost covered by black energy.

If I remember correctly, Lingquan should be a soldier under Yang Hao.

Gu Qinghan secretly wrote this down in his heart, and then looked at Xiao Yan apologetically.

"Xiao Yan, I'm sorry, my men caused you trouble."

"It's okay. Doesn't this prove that they respect you?"

Xiao Yan smiled and waved his hand, making Gu Qinghan stunned again.

"What does it have to do with me?"

"The guard of the ancient tribe who arranged my place before said that because you have been following me in Zhongzhou in the past few years, you have not returned for three years, and many of the younger generations of the ancient tribe have been taken care of by you, so you have taken care of me. This outsider feels very unhappy." Xiao Yan crossed his arms and nodded with deep understanding, "I can understand it. If it were me, my respected sister would be taken away by a man who didn't know where she came from and hadn't been home for three years. , I will also feel unhappy."

"."

Gu Qinghan was silent, raising his hand to hold his forehead, his brows filled with speechlessness.

Of course she knew that this was just the rhetoric of the ancient clan guard. In fact, the real reason why Lingquan was in trouble with Xiao Yan was Xun'er. Maybe she had her own reasons, but it was definitely not the main reason.

Then Gu Qinghan shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and invited Xiao Yan.

"There is a party on the other street. If you are okay now, can I take you around? It can be considered as a courtesy to the landlord."

"OK."

Xiao Yan responded with a smile, and then followed Gu Qinghan towards another street. Xiao Yan asked casually on the way.

"Qinghan, that old man just now is your grandmother?"

"No." Gu Qinghan flatly denied it and explained, "That's an old lady I've known since childhood. Because she has always lived alone, I thought she would be lonely, so I used to go to spend time with her when I was free."

"That's it."

Xiao Yan nodded clearly, then stopped talking and continued to follow Gu Qinghan for a leisurely walk.

At this time, dusk had completely dissipated, night had fallen, the night sky was filled with stars, but the streets were brightly lit, making it seem even more lively than in the afternoon.

Not long after, Gu Qinghan brought Xiao Yan to the party venue. They saw that a bonfire had been set up here. Many men and women from the ancient tribe danced leisurely around the bonfire in pairs. Gu Qinghan also opened his mouth to explain.

"Perhaps everyone from the Ancient Clan also feels that normal life is too boring. Every once in a while, they will hold a bonfire party, which is one of the few entertainments of the Ancient Clan."

Saying this, Gu Qinghan looked at the red and fiery bonfire, and his thoughts couldn't help but fall into the blazing flames.

Gu Qinghan said so, but she had never participated before. She was either busy taking care of her younger brothers and sisters every day, or the Black Annihilation Army had a lot of things waiting for her to deal with, so there was no such free time.

It was during the past two days that Gu Qinghan had a rare leisure time in the ancient clan, so he had the opportunity to come over and take a look.

At this time, Gu Qinghan looked at the men and women dancing around the bonfire, and his eyes were slightly startled. He unconsciously glanced at Xiao Yan's fiery red face illuminated by the bonfire, then lowered his head and clenched his fists slightly. rise.

After a while, Gu Qinghan shuddered, seemed to have made a decision, breathed a deep sigh, and turned to face Xiao Yan with an unnatural smile on his face.

"Xiao Keke!" Gu Qinghan, who felt that he was stuttering, coughed twice, and then looked at Xiao Yan with a blushing face in Xiao Yan's doubtful eyes. His eyes seemed to be a little dodgeful, and his voice was mixed with a little vibrato, "Xiao Yan , let’s have a dance too.”

Perhaps the firelight helped cover up Gu Qinghan, so that Xiao Yan did not notice Gu Qinghan's red face. Although he felt that her gaze was a bit inexplicable, he did not go into details and spoke with a smile.

"Madam, you've invited me like this. Wouldn't it be rude if you didn't accept the invitation?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan turned around to face Gu Qinghan, bowed slightly and extended his hand to Gu Qinghan respectfully.

"This beautiful lady, would you like to dance with Xiao Yan?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's smiling and somewhat serious face, Gu Qinghan's heart beat harder than ever before, and his face turned red as if on fire.

In the end, Gu Qinghan nodded shyly, gently put his hand on Xiao Yan's hand, and responded softly.

"I do."

In the ancient clan, in Xun'er's boudoir, the maid stood outside the door and knocked lightly.

"Miss Xun'er, there is a bonfire party on the street now, do you want to go?"

"No!"

Xun'er, who was covered in the quilt, refused without hesitation. The maid outside the door did not force her and turned away.

Xun'er curled up in the quilt and pouted.

Brother Xiao Yan was not here, what was the point of going to the bonfire party alone? Then Xun'er closed her eyes slightly, and then chuckled softly, as if she had imagined a beautiful future, and murmured in a low voice.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I do." (End of this chapter)
