The two of them exchanged glances.

Song Zixi was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up. She took the initiative to say, “Young Master Luo, what a coincidence. Are you here to buy books too?”

Luo Qingzhou nodded politely and waved the book in his hand. “Yes, I have nothing to do today, so I came out to shop and bought two books to read. What about you, Miss Song?”

Song Zixi smiled and replied, “I’m also here to buy books. There is an extensive assemblage of books sold here. Most bookstores can’t compare to this at all.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything else. He cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Song Zixi hurriedly said, “By the way, Young Master Luo, there’s a poetry gathering in a few days. It’ll be held at the pleasure boat on the MO River. Yulan and I have already decided that we’ll invite you along. We hope that you will favor us with your company.”

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and declined politely. “I’m sorry, Miss Song. I’ve been studying at home recently and don’t have much time. Moreover, I’m not interested in that kind of event.

Song Zixi smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It will be held at night. It won’t delay your studies during the day. When the time comes, I’ll go to your residence and call Weimo along. Even if you don’t want to accompany us, you should at least accompany Weimo, right? Her body is so weak, won’t you be worried if she goes out alone? In any case, I’m sure she’s been longing to go out and take a breather. If I tell her this, she’ll most definitely be interested.”

Luo Qingzhou did not say anything. He cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Song Zixi turned around and looked at his back. Her eyes flickered slightly.

The girl next to her asked curiously, “Zixi, is he the man who you told Yulan about? The one who married into the Qin residence? He looks so handsome and has a good temperament. If he really composed those poems, what a pity..

Song Zixi turned around and smiled faintly. “It’s indeed a pity… Let’s go and read.”

The two girls went to the bookshelf and flipped through the books.

Song Zixi glanced outside the door.

In front of the stall opposite, coincidentally, a man turned around and looked at her before leaving.

Luo Qingzhou bought five sticks of candied hawthorn and returned to the residence.

Since everyone liked to eat it, he would buy more.

However, he would not ask for trouble and take the initiative to deliver the candied hawthorn. He would leave it at home. Whoever saw it could eat it. Whoever did not see it would not get it.

It would be best if Xiao Die could eat all of them.

However, on the way, he met Zhu’er again.

Not long after he returned to the small courtyard, Qiu’er came over and said, “Sir, can you give Miss a stick of candied hawthorn? Zhu’er said that you bought a lot of candied hawthorn. Miss wants to eat it.”

Luo Qingzhou went into the house to get a skewer and handed it to her. “Is Miss Zhu’er embarrassed to ask for it?”

Qiu’er chuckled and did not say anything else. She thanked him before leaving.

Not long after.

Bai Ling also came over. She was fuming and resentment filled her eyes.

However, when Luo Qingzhou took the initiative to give her a stick of candied hawthorn, a sweet smile bloomed on her face. “Sir, I’ll wait for you to pay your respects to Miss tonight. Make sure that you don’t forget certain things again.” With that, she happily took the candied hawthorn back to show off.

After Luo Qingzhou saw her leave, he thought for a moment and went to take another skewer. Then, he sat in the small courtyard.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the cold girl appeared like a ghost. She hugged her sword and silently stood under the pear tree beside him.

Luo Qingzhou was thinking about something when he turned around and saw someone under the pear tree. He was shocked.

“Here, this is the last stick.”

Luo Qingzhou was speechless. He handed over the candied hawthorn in his hand.

The girl turned sideways and crossed her arms. She held a sword in her arms. Her pretty face was as cold as ice. When she heard this, she looked away and raised her chin. “Hmph!”

“Please eat…”

The girl snatched it away and was about to leave when she turned around and looked into the house.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said, “No, this is really the last stick.”

The girl looked at him coldly and suddenly turned around. She entered the house and did not come out again.

Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before hurriedly following her in.

In the living room, the girl stood in front of the table with her sword in her arms. She looked coldly at the other two sticks of candied hawthorn on the table. When she saw him enter, she looked at him coldly.

“Huh, why are there two more sticks…”

The corners of Luo Qingzhou’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Well… one of them is for me while the other is for Xiao Die. I don’t have extras. The girl still stood there without moving, staring at him coldly.

“All right… I won’t eat then.”

Luo Qingzhou had no choice but to take another stick and hand it to her. “I’ll give you mine.”

The girl still did not move.

“Sigh, I beg you… Please eat.”

“Hmph!”

The girl snorted and snatched it away. Then, she left with the two sticks of candied hawthorn.

“She is too much!”

Luo Qingzhou complained inwardly. After thinking for a while, he hurriedly picked up the remaining stick and placed it in Xiao Die’s room to hide it. If Bai Ling saw Xia Chan take two skewers back, she would probably come over and demand more.

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay in the house any longer. After leaving the courtyard, he locked the courtyard door and went straight to the bottom of the lake to cultivate.

Just as he had guessed.

Not long after, Bai Ling came to the door angrily with an empty bamboo stick in her hand.

When she saw the iron lock on the door, she pouted and stomped her feet in anger: “Stupid Sir! Bad Sir! You deliberately gave Chanchan two sticks so that she would take them back and anger me! I’m so angry! Don’t even think about touching me tonight!”

Soon, it was night.

Bai Ling changed into beautiful clothes, carefully dolled herself up, and went to the flowerbed to pick a flower that had just bloomed.

Then, she stood at the entrance of the front yard and leaned against the door frame, admiring the moonlight in boredom.

The moonlight was not bad tonight..
