Chapter 93 Heartbeat
Chapter 93 Heartbeat
Unexpectedly, Yang Chenchuan didn't get angry but laughed instead. He deliberately got close to Lin Yuxi's face with a scoundrel look, and his voice was low and a little hoarse: "You shout, let others see how I molest you."
"You..." Lin Yuxi bit her lip. He was indeed a stinking hooligan. No matter how noble his status was, he couldn't hide his hooligan smell. Lin Yuxi was secretly annoyed. She stuffed the chocolate in her hand directly into his mouth, pulled her hand back angrily, turned around and walked towards the crowd.
Yang Chenchuan ate the fruit with a smacking sound in his mouth and obediently let go of her hand, but still followed her two steps behind, with a triumphant smile between his eyebrows, a little thing with a hard mouth but a soft heart.
There were so many people gathered that Lin Yuxi couldn't squeeze in. She could only see through the gaps some girls threading needles towards the moon, and a bunch of people pricking needles on a water tray, threading needles to test their dexterity, all in an effort to beg the Weaver Girl for dexterity.
There were too many people. Lin Yuxi continued to visit the next stall with little interest. She heard bursts of applause that caught her attention. She saw that the stall was surrounded by three layers of people. She couldn't see what was going on inside and could only listen from the outside. There was a man talking over there. She understood the general meaning. This was an arena. There was a target a hundred meters away. Whoever could shoot the target with a bow and arrow to light up the lantern would win and get a lantern.
After the man finished speaking, many people were eager to try. The bow was of good quality and easy to draw, but it was difficult to draw it fully. It was difficult to hit the target if you couldn't draw the bow fully.
There were many arrows falling in a straight line in front of the target. Each person only had one chance. Seven or eight people tried, but none of them could hit the target with that muscular body and strong arms. The rest of them gave up and just watched the fun. Lin Yuxi looked at Yang Chenchuan.
"Can you hit it?"
Yang Chenchuan grinned. It was finally time to ask him for help. He had been left alone all night. What a heartless guy.
He hummed and nodded in agreement. A thin man at the side said with a smile, "Boss, there is a weak scholar here who boasts that he can shoot."
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and looking around, she was speechless when she saw that everyone was looking at them. It was a little dark, but it didn't make people feel weak.
Yang Chenchuan looked a little thinner, but she had personally experienced that strength, and he was definitely not as weak as he looked.
But she didn't point it out, staring at him slyly. Yang Chenchuan twitched his lips and couldn't help but glared at Lin Yuxi. The boss over there had already walked over, "Young Master, why don't you give it a try? It doesn't matter if it doesn't work."
Lin Yuxi looked at him and said, "You weak scholar, why don't you give it a try? Win that lantern for me."
Yang Chenchuan was exhausted, so he walked to the table with bows and arrows, holding the bow in his left hand and drawing the arrow with his right hand. As soon as he released the arrow, it flew out. When the tall lanterns hit the target, they all lit up at once, and there were gasps everywhere. This weak scholar was really amazing!
The girls present were inevitably panicked, staring blankly at the heroic Yang Chenchuan. A brave girl came out, her face was red and innocent, looking extremely cute, twisting her embroidered handkerchief and shyly said: "Sir, are you interested in accompanying me to float the red elixir and light the lotus lantern tonight?"
Phew! Lin Yuxi laughed out loud without giving any face.
Yang Chenchuan frowned slightly, and said nothing, looking at Lin Yuxi with flickering eyes. The woman felt embarrassed when she didn't get a response, and her eyes shot over, and her face felt hot. The maid whispered to persuade: "Miss, let's go."
The woman was unwilling to give in, so she mustered up the courage to reach out and grab Yang Chenchuan's collar: "Sir, my name is Chen Ying'er, and my father is the magistrate of Yingshan City. At 12:00 p.m., I will light lanterns at Bade Lake, and I sincerely invite you..."
Seeing this woman being so unrestrained and disregarding her own reputation, Yang Chenchuan's face darkened when he saw Lin Yuxi looking forward to the show. He felt as if something was blocking his heart. He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "Young lady, please respect yourself."
Seeing that Lin Yuxi had already taken the lantern, he grabbed her hand and left.
Lin Yuxi looked back at Chen Ying'er who was stamping her feet in anger, and said, "You've hurt that girl's fragile heart. It must be broken to pieces. How pitiful!"
As soon as Yang Chenchuan finished speaking, he stopped walking. Lin Yuxi bumped into his back without noticing.
"Ouch!"
He cried out in pain, covered his nose, and said angrily: "Why did you stop when you were walking normally? You didn't even say hello when you stopped. Why is your back so hard? It's not a wall!"
The corners of Yang Chenchuan's lips twitched, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. What a heartless person! He brought her out to play, and she was not grateful, and she could even laugh when she saw other women coveting her.
Didn't she have any awareness that he was her future husband? He was really angry at that moment. Was he too confident, or was she too ruthless? He really wanted to ask her if she had ever had him in her heart.
However, the little woman's almost unreasonable words made him laugh and cry. In the end, all his anger turned into helplessness. He pinched her nose and said weakly: "My arms are very warm, do you want to try it?"
Lin Yuxi slapped his hand away and cursed: "You filthy rascal! You want me to throw myself into your arms? You're dreaming!"
The maids following behind him finally put their minds at ease. The son-in-law's face had been so dark just now that they all thought he was going to lose his temper.
The girl is really something. When her son-in-law was teased, she not only didn't help but also laughed at him. Even a person with a good temper would be angry. Fortunately, her son-in-law didn't care. Otherwise, the girl would have made her son-in-law unhappy before she even got married, and her life in the future would have been difficult.
"Lin Yuxi, what are you doing?" A sudden voice interrupted them. Lin Yuxi turned her head and saw that it was Lin Yuhan, and the person who was with her was naturally Sun Siming.
Lin Yuhan's eyes seemed to be about to pop out, staring back and forth at her and Yang Chenchuan, furious, and asked: "Second sister, who is this man?"
The tone was like catching someone cheating in bed.
Yang Chenchuan went to the Lin residence twice in total, and Lin Yuhan was not there both times. It was no wonder that she didn’t recognize him. Lin Yuxi deliberately ignored her tone and kindly introduced them: “Sister, this is Mr. Yang Er, Mr. Yang, this is my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law.”
Lin Yuhan was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted. The look in her eyes changed as she looked at him. She politely bowed.
"So it's Mr. Yang, I'm so sorry. Yuxi, you're an unmarried girl, why don't you stay at home and behave yourself? Why come to this place where all the good and the bad get together?"
At the end, he did not forget to scold Lin Yuxi. Lin Yuxi pouted. Sure enough, any of the three Liu mother and daughter would bully her. Was she born to be easy to bully?
Before she could say anything, Yang Chenchuan took over: "I went to the mansion to pick her up. My father-in-law and the old lady also agreed. Let's go to the front to light the lanterns. We can talk about it in detail next time we have a chance."
After saying this, he left without waiting for Lin Yuhan and the others to react. Lin Yuxi naturally followed him. After Lu Yun and the others greeted Lin Yuhan and Sun Siming, they also followed hurriedly.
Yang Chenchuan's attitude clearly showed that he didn't like her, and Lin Yuhan was so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded Lin Yuxi for being rude. Sun Siming comforted her with a few words and then laughed again. He walked to the other end, took a few steps, turned back and looked in the direction of Lin Yuxi, and soon started talking and laughing with Lin Yuhan again.
After Lin Yuhan left, the maids soon started playing. Chunlan held two small lotus lanterns and said shyly, "Miss, you can make wishes with these lotus lanterns. Go and light one, too."
Chunlan pointed to a place not far away where many people lit lanterns and placed them on the lake to make wishes. Lin Yuxi glanced at the lantern in her hand, nodded and took a step forward.
The crowd surged, and Lin Yuxi was accidentally bumped into. She staggered and was about to fall forward. Yang Chenchuan caught her quickly, but his tone was still a little unfriendly.
"Walk carefully, there's no need to rush. The lake won't grow legs and run away."
Then he took her hand and walked towards the lake.
Lin Yuxi's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw his towering back, as firm and unyielding as a mountain. His steps were steady and the strength in his hands was also firm and powerful.
At that moment, she was deeply bewitched.
My heart was suddenly in a mess.
