Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 298: The Sickly Cousin in a Female-Dominant Novel (21)

Chang Sun Yan seemed to never get enough of the letter of just a few hundred words. He read it over and over again several times. Finally, he reluctantly took out the small piece of paper folded into an inch square from the envelope. When he opened it, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

On the palm-sized paper, a few strokes outlined a naive woman. The woman had an unusually large head and a small body. She was holding her belt with both hands and had a frown on her face, as if she was worried about her clothes not fitting her well.

However, several small circles appeared above her head, connected to a large circle. Inside the large circle was a brightly colored painting of a man whose lines and style were obviously much more refined than the woman's.

The man was wearing a light blue cape, with loose hair, lively facial features, and his cheeks were carefully painted with rouge by Lin Xi. He glared with his eyes puffed up, as if he was embarrassed and annoyed about something.

In addition, there are two small lines of words written in the blank space next to the painting - My clothes are getting looser and looser, but I will never regret it, I am becoming haggard for her. It is so vivid and dynamic.

Although Lin Xi did not specify in the letter who the two people in the painting were, Chang Sun Yan recognized Lin Xi and himself in the painting at a glance.

Thinking back to the sweet words she had just said in the letter that had made him blush, he suddenly felt his heart swelling with sweetness as if something was about to burst out.

After reading the letter again, Changsun Yan reluctantly put it away, then sat down at the desk and picked up the pen to write a reply.

But he was emotionally agitated, as if he had thousands of words to say to Lin Xi, but when he really wanted to start writing, he didn't know where to start. He hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't write the straightforward love words that made people blush and heartbeat like those written by Lin Xi.

After pondering for a while, he inadvertently looked up and saw the newly blossoming crabapple trees outside the window. Suddenly, he felt inspired and picked up his pen to write two lines of poetry on paper.

"The spring branches are green and the crabapple blossoms are full of dew."

"The east wind sympathizes with Qing Yi, my heart is with you."

……

Xingye Street, Xuanpingfang.

In a teahouse facing the street, singer Wanqi Changge, dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, was holding a teacup with a gloomy expression, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Master Lin, please come in. Your Excellency is waiting inside."

I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly heard the waiter's attentive voice outside the door, followed by a knock on the door, "Sir, Master Lin is here."

Wanqi Changge suddenly came back to his senses, put down the teacup in his hand, straightened his clothes, then cleared his throat and said loudly to the door: "Please come in, Master Lin."

With a creak, the door of the private room was pushed open, and a woman in black tights walked in. She was tall and walked steadily with big steps, but the few steps from the door to the table seemed to bring a gust of sharp wind.

"Your humble servant greets the Third Princess." As the door was closed, Lin Xi stopped, looked up at the Third Princess Wanqi Changge who was sitting at the table, bowed, and spoke in a calm tone.

Wanqi Changge sat upright, looking the person in front of him up and down inconspicuously. He saw that she was tall and straight, with a face like snow jade, sharp features, and a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes. With the cold look on her face, one could tell at a glance that this person was cold and difficult to approach.

"Lord Lin, there is no need to be so polite." Wanqi Changge looked at Lin Xi for a long while, came to the above conclusion, and then withdrew his gaze.

Although she was speaking politely, her body seemed to be glued to the chair, not moving at all. She let Lin Xi finish her greetings, then raised her hand and pointed to the seat opposite her and said, "Master Lin, you have worked hard on the journey. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Xi did not refuse. She just said thank you and sat down.

Wanqi Changge poured a cup of tea himself and handed it to Lin Xi, saying with a smile: "I don't know what kind of tea you like to drink, so I decided to let them drink this Nine-bend Red Plum. Although it is spring now, it is still cold. This tea warms the body and nourishes the qi, which is just right."

"Your Highness is considerate." Lin Xi's face remained expressionless. She reached out to take the dark red tea, but did not drink it. Instead, she put it beside her. "But the palace doctor said that I have been thinking too much recently and have trouble sleeping at night. He told me to drink less tea. I am afraid that I will disappoint Your Highness's kindness."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Wanqi Changge's expression froze slightly, but then he quickly reacted, showing a trace of apology on his face, "It's my fault for not thinking it through. My Lord has just recovered from a serious injury, and the Queen Mother has assigned him many errands. He is so tired, he really should take good care of himself."

"It is the duty of a minister to share His Majesty's worries. I dare not take your words of burden." Lin Xi curled the corners of his lips, shook his head, and explained, "It's just for some of my own personal matters."

"Oh? I've heard that you are always vigorous and resolute in your actions. It turns out that you would also be troubled by personal matters?" Seeing Lin Xi frowning slightly, as if worried, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked tentatively.

"It's just some secret things that can't be told to outsiders." Lin Xi shook her head, revealing an indescribable expression.

"Haha, I hit it off with you right away. I invited you here today to make some friends. If you don't mind, you can talk to me. I will keep it a secret and will not tell anyone else."

"Alas~" Hearing him say this, Lin Xi smiled bitterly and shook her head, looking very distressed, "Your Highness means well, but I really don't know how to start."

Seeing Lin Xi's hesitation, Wanqi Changge felt impatient, but thinking of the purpose of coming today, he still put on a smile and said, "Since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions.

This trick really worked. She stopped asking questions, but Lin Xi was relieved. "I think Your Highness has heard some rumors in the capital recently."

Wanqi Changge was delighted and secretly thought that he had taken the bait, but he was afraid that it would show on his face, so he quickly concentrated and raised his voice a little, "But it's about Lord Changsun."

"That's exactly it." Lin Xi nodded.

Seeing Lin Xi nod, Wanqi Changge glanced at the wall inconspicuously and said in a low voice: "I have heard a few things from those gossipy young masters. They said that Young Master Changsun..."

At this point, Wanqi Changge paused, as if he didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a long time, he continued, "He is destined to be lonely and will bring misfortune to his wife."
