Chapter 250 We still ran into each other.
Wen Luozhi pouted. She had heard Xie He ask Su Ranzhi several times when she was at home.
Come to think of it, with the college entrance exam just around the corner, who has time to think about these romantic feelings?
Furthermore, aside from her close friends and family, Wen Zijin seems to have little to say to anyone else.
It's remarkable that Su Ranzhi has been able to persevere for so long; if it were her, she would have given up long ago.
On the other side, Su Xian returned home, closed the courtyard gate, and gave Su Ran a thorough dressing-down:
"Ranran! Grandpa has told you this many times!"
"Zijin only studies the classics and has no interest in anything else!"
He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he only felt a little better when he saw the two pots of white plum blossoms of Wen Zijin Pine.
At first, he thought the kid was nice, but later he realized he was being superficial.
He was a man of great ambition, and his granddaughter's repeated visits to the academy only disturbed him.
Besides, they don't even have that kind of interest.
He knew a little about what had happened these past few days and couldn't understand why his usually well-behaved granddaughter was so stubborn.
Su Ranzhi pursed her lips and remained silent. What's wrong with liking someone?
She just wanted to pursue it and didn't want to have any regrets later.
Who wouldn't like someone like Wen Zijin? She had seen girls give him gifts more than once, but he always had a cold face.
I thought I was different, but it turns out we're all the same.
"I understand, Grandpa. I'll never go again."
With her head down, she spoke in a muffled voice, just like a child who had done something wrong.
Su Xian felt sorry for her when she saw her like this, and her tone softened.
Let's go to Shanquan Village with Grandpa the day after tomorrow.
Staying at home won't work, and going to the academy is even worse.
The students at the academy invited him, their teacher, to go on some kind of picnic, saying that he could bring his family along.
This is a good opportunity to take my granddaughter out for a walk; maybe she'll be better when we get back.
Going out for a walk is better than staying still and overthinking.
Su Ranzhi originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it was Shanquan Village, she couldn't help but nod in agreement.
She overheard Yan Che mention that Wen Zijin's home was in Shanquan Village.
Fine, she'll persist one last time.
She returned to her room with a heavy heart, and Su Xian kept shaking her head at her dejected appearance.
So stubborn! I wonder who he took after!
The entire day felt like an eternity for Su Ranzhi, but the day of her picnic finally arrived.
When Su Xian saw Wen Zijin, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. This...this...
He glanced at Su Ranzhi with concern, having originally intended to distract her.
Now look what's happened; not only can we not transfer it, but we've also run into trouble.
Today, Wen Zijin, dressed in a moon-white long gown, exuded a refined and elegant air with every gesture.
"Master, please come inside with me for tea." His voice was gentle and warm, and his eyes were full of composure that made it hard to look away.
Su Ranzhi just watched, so much so that she didn't hear Wen Luozhi call her for the third time.
"Luo...Luo Zhi, it's been a long time," she said hastily, averting her gaze and looking unnatural.
Wen Luozhi didn't expose her, but Yan Che, being the talkative one, chimed in with a grin, "Miss Su doesn't have a very good memory."
"You two just met two days ago!"
Su Ranzhi blushed deeply, twisting the handkerchief in her hand, somewhat at a loss.
This wasn't the first time they'd met, so why couldn't she control herself?
Why can't I stop myself from going to see him? I'm so pathetic!
Wen Zijing frowned slightly. "A-Che, let's go inside."
Why is this guy leaning over when the girl is talking?
Besides, that's my own sister. With so many people around today, I shouldn't let anyone misunderstand.
Yan Che followed them into the house in a daze, leaving only Wen Luozhi, Su Ranzhi, and Jiang Shuqian, the master and servant, in the courtyard.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, so Wen Luozhi led the group upstairs to her room to sit for a while.
Wen Zi'an wanted to follow her in, but Wen Luozhi glared at him and made him stand still. "Fourth Brother, you can't just go into a woman's boudoir!"
"Go find Fifth Brother and the others to play with!"
She stood at the door with her arms crossed, while Wolf Overlord wagged its tail happily beside her.
Wen Zi'an blushed. "I'm sorry, little sister, I almost forgot."
He turned to leave, but then, as if remembering something, he turned back and dragged Lang Batian away with him.
"Awoo awoo!"
Are you trying to kill a wolf?! Are you trying to murder me?! You'll break my arm!
Wolf Overlord was being held by his two front legs, leaving him with only his two hind legs to walk on the ground like a human.
Because it was so fat, its entire rear end was practically rubbing against the ground, causing it to cry out in pain.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Shuqian looked towards the door with some concern. Was the chubby dog alright?
Fourth Brother Wen is far too rude...
As soon as Wen Luozhi closed the door, she casually grabbed some snacks from the snack shelf.
The girls chatted and laughed, and after they had almost finished their tea downstairs, today's activities began.
Scholars are used to a life of ease and comfort, and several of them are not even as good as Jiang Shuqian when they climb mountains.
Wen Zian followed behind Jiang Shuqian, turning his head to look at the group of pale-faced scholars behind him, their lips pouting.
too slow!
He used to think his fifth brother was weak, but he never imagined there was someone even weaker.
We haven't even gone halfway yet, won't we be exhausted if we keep going?
Thinking of the dog, he looked ahead again and saw Wolf Overlord standing on a large rock looking at them. He did have a certain imposing presence.
Jiang Shuqian also saw it; at that moment, the sunlight shone on Lang Batian, and the whole wolf seemed to be glowing.
"Fourth Brother Wen, why do I feel like Batian looks like a wolf?" she whispered.
Wen Zi'an looked disdainful. "It's a dog, a fat dog that loves to eat."
Wolves? He'd seen wolves in the mountains before, but they were all skinny and bony, nothing like this one.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, there were ripe fruits. Jiang Tao was already quite familiar with the place because he had been there once before, and he remembered everything Wen Luozhi had told him last time.
He led the way in picking fruit, but some of the scholars were clumsy and fell on their bottoms instead of pulling the fruit off.
However, since there are few activities among acquaintances, they felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation when they came here.
We picked as we walked until we reached a relatively flat area, and it was almost noon by then.
Compared to last time, there are many more people this time, and Wen Luozhi plans to make barbecue again.
She took out the thin stone slabs they had prepared in advance from the pavilion, explained everything, and then rushed down the mountain with two tents.
Since Su Xian only reached the halfway point of the mountain, Wen Zijin, Yan Che, and the other scholars who were at the back rested on the spot.
Sun Dalang came to help today. When Wen Luozhi arrived, he and Wen Zijin were the only ones really busy, while the others were just making things worse.
Wen Zijin was going to color the roast chicken, and Su Ran rushed to help, but ended up brushing it with oil instead.
Finally, oil splattered onto her moon-white long robe, and Su Ranzhi lowered her head apologetically.
"I'm sorry... I thought they were all yellow..."
Wen Zijing shook her head and continued what she was doing. "It's alright, just wash it."
He didn't want to wear this outfit today because he thought it would get dirty going up the mountain.
His sister absolutely refused to let him wear anything else, saying that this outfit made him look like some kind of "white moonlight" (a term used to describe someone who is very beautiful and pure).
He had no choice but to wear it, even though he felt a little heartbroken.
After all, this was the first set of clothes his sister had given him, and he had never been willing to take it out to wear.
His indifferent expression suggested he genuinely didn't care, but Su Ranzhi saw it differently.
