Li Xianrui stopped hiding and kept meowing. Although people occasionally glanced at her curiously, she didn't care. They bought a boat lantern by the roadside, lit candles together, and pushed it towards the center of the river.
The Moon River should actually be considered a lake; its surface is calm, and exquisite little lanterns float on the water, surrounded by glowing lights—a truly beautiful sight. After a while, Wen walked forward and saw a stall selling children's toys nearby.
Fu Hai searched around and actually found a pretty cat ear headband. After buying it, he put it on Fairy Cat Sister's head.
Li Xianrui, who always maintained the image of the senior sister in her own sect, was originally aloof and noble. But now, wearing a child's toy headband and meowing when she spoke, she was quite amusing.
Fu Hai recalled what his junior sister Lingyue had said.
Although he and the young lady had a chance encounter last night and developed a relationship that went beyond friendship, ultimately the young lady still doesn't know enough about his past.
The young lady comes from a prestigious and respectable family. Given the life-saving grace and the fact that it was her first time, he naturally wouldn't abandon her after taking advantage of her. However, he couldn't act as if he was simply lusting after her body.
The two walked along the road, chatting about everything under the sun, including poetry, songs, novels, and miscellaneous topics.
Li Xianrui gradually revealed a look of surprise. She hadn't expected that Fu Lang's knowledge in various fields would impress her so much.
Ultimately, the literacy rate in this world is not very high. When Fu Hai transmigrated, he had at least completed seven years of the nine-year compulsory education and had also attended school after transmigrating.
He was originally a model student, and he understood the importance of studying in both his past and present lives. There was also a special library on Xiaodiancang Mountain.
The time traveler's precocious intelligence, coupled with his innate love of learning, made him exceptionally outstanding among his peers in terms of both cultural level and various kinds of knowledge.
Of course, if I had to say, much of the knowledge in this world is closed off.
For example, astronomy, feng shui, music, calligraphy and painting, etc., all have their own schools and families that study them.
The research findings were passed down only within their own circle, never to be shared with outsiders. Fu Hai also had no opportunity to abandon his expertise in those areas.
It's not that he doesn't want to learn, but that he can't even access books in this world.
Even so, the breadth of his knowledge and understanding made Li Xian realize that he was an exceptionally talented young man. It was just that he was in such a declining small sect; otherwise, he would surely have achieved even greater things.
As they chatted, Li Xianrui seemed to be deep in thought: "Speaking of which, the author of that book, 'The Young Hero's Adventures,' seems to have a very diverse range of knowledge. It's clear that although he's not an expert in many areas, he has a broad range of knowledge that is accessible to the average person."
Fu Hai's heart skipped a beat.
However, Li Xianrui did not suspect him.
After all, her husband was just a teenager, a little younger than her.
Having such a thirst for knowledge and reading through all the books available to someone from a small sect like his was already quite remarkable. There was no way he could write a novel that would shatter the Dao heart of someone with her level of cultivation—a truly cult classic.
She even felt that the innovation of "The Young Hero's Adventures" might usher in a new era for novelists. Such outstanding writing and original conception were not something a teenager could achieve.
Of course, she couldn't possibly know that what she called innovation and originality was nothing more than the norm in the diverse and popular literature of the young man's previous life.
Especially in that era, online novels had reached the point where they would die if they didn't innovate. I stood under the willow tree and watched the Cloud Lantern for a long time.
Then the two left the banks of the Moon River, walked through an alley, and continued forward.
"What are you doing, meow?" Li Xianrui pointed.
Fu Hai saw that on the ground opposite the Phoenix Dance Hall, there was a broadcasting station, and two groups of girls, one wearing red headscarves and the other wearing blue headscarves, were arguing there.
Both sides appeared quite imposing, attracting a large crowd of onlookers. "It seems...it seems like..."
"The Setsuna Party and the Touma Party are still arguing, meow?" Li Xianrui was speechless. "It's all because of Xiangtao and your junior sister causing trouble, meow."
"Really, it can't be that bad, can it?" Fu Hai muttered. "If both female leads are so great, then marry both of them." He was starting to understand the harem fandom now.
Li Xianrui suddenly straightened her face: "That won't do, meow!" Fu Hai looked at her.
Ji Xianrui asked, "Fu Lang, you haven't read that book yet?" Fu Hai replied, "That's right. I haven't read it yet."
"That book was written to such an extent, no matter what, the protagonist couldn't marry both heroines. Whether it's Setsuna or Touma, he could only marry one at most. But the male protagonist was also running away, not wanting to hurt either of them, so in the end, both of them got hurt."
She seemed really excited, meowing at every single word she said.
Li Xianrui continued, "The reason they're fighting over meow is because, according to the plot of the book, if the male protagonist is brave enough, he can be with one of them."
"But according to the plot of that book, it's impossible for all three of them to be together."
Fu Hai saw that Fairy Cat Sister was so excited that her chest heaved and she kept meowing, and the toy cat ears on her head were twitching. She was indeed adorable.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her rosy, adorable cheek. "Seriously, meow." "Fairy Cat Sister patted him,"
But Fairy Cat Sister's current adorable appearance makes it really hard for anyone to be serious, meow.
Avoiding the kitchen knife party and the mother party, he led Fairy Cat Sister towards Phoenix Dance Hall, while pondering: "Fairy Cat Sister, according to this, is it really impossible to include both in that book?"
Although Yue Lan and Sister Qiu Ying both said after reading it, "It's okay to marry both of them."
But he felt that, according to the book's internal logic, it would be very difficult to do. Fairy Cat Sister pinched him... Who is Fairy Cat Sister?
Then, she took his arm and looked up, saying, "In that case, the male lead will have to work very hard and be very diligent."
Chapter 167 Brother's Surprise, Xiaoye Wants to Repay
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Phoenix Dance Pavilion, Fu Hai retrieved the two tickets that Ling Yue had previously left on the carriage.
The note Lingyue left for him said that Cen Yao had run to the inn to deliver these two tickets; they were originally for good seats up high, but she had changed them to two ordinary seats.
Fu Hai didn't quite understand Ling Yue's actions, but he decided to trust his junior sister unconditionally tonight.
There were quite a few people watching the opera and dance. Fu Hai and Ji Xianrui found their seats. The tickets for the Phoenix Dance Hall were indeed quite expensive, and those who would listen to the opera here at this time of year instead of going to the Moon River to watch the cloud lanterns were clearly "cultured people".
The people around him were all impeccably dressed, and there were even private boxes upstairs. Fu Hai didn't know where his original seat was, nor did he pay much attention to it. Soon, the surroundings quieted down, the lights below dimmed, and the stage was ablaze with glory.
Li Xianrui was quite pleased with this arrangement.
The two had already been intimate yesterday, and Fu Lang clearly had a chance to do more tonight. But he only took her shopping, to see the lanterns, and to see a play.
He wasn't in a rush to get closer to her; he genuinely wanted to understand her better and slowly cultivate feelings for her. He truly liked me, and wasn't just after my body!
In this era, even those who are outcasts in the martial arts world, unless they are wicked or immoral women, are generally quite traditional, not to mention a proper young lady like her.
In ordinary households, most of the time, men and women would only meet once or twice before their marriages were arranged by their parents and matchmakers, and then the woman would follow her husband wherever he pleased.
Originally, it was because of the life-saving grace and the fact that she had just lost her virginity. But after getting to know him better tonight, she found that he was better than she had imagined in every way. Even after she had already lost her virginity, he was still so thoughtful and specially prepared a surprise for her.
He likes me so much! Her heart was touched.
While watching the movie, she pressed her head, adorned with a cute cat-ear headband, against his arm.
The boy was ultimately civilized and moral.
During the day, I didn't know how to handle this "four-corner" relationship, and I felt extremely flustered.
Now he's here with Sister Xianrui, and Sister Die and Little Sister Xiaoye are waiting for his surprise not far away.
This filled him with immense guilt, making him feel like the male protagonist in his book, who on the surface didn't want to hurt anyone, but in reality hurt everyone.
Feeling Xianrui's face pressed against his, he reached out and wrapped his arms around her fragrant shoulders. The shame he felt made him feel an urge to explain things to her no matter what.
But the atmosphere was so beautiful at that moment. Glancing secretly at Sister Xianrui's face, she saw her sweet and lovely features. Quietly opening the "spy" window of Butterfly Girl, who was resting with her eyes closed, her perspective was naturally dark.
"Murong Die is sweetly waiting for the host to prepare more surprises for her." Then she recalled the happy face of her little sister Xiao Ye earlier.
Everyone was clearly looking forward to it, so trying to "explain things clearly" at this time would only ruin all three of their expectations, wouldn't it? As a kind-hearted young man, he simply couldn't bring himself to do that.
In short, I'll try my best... I'll try my best to make sure all three of them have a satisfying holiday tonight. We'll talk about other things later.
Yes, there will be a chance to explain it clearly in the future.
When the opera on stage was almost halfway through, he began to leave, as planned, under the pretext of going to the toilet.
The Phoenix Dance Pavilion has a large garden inside, and the performances during the Lantern Festival are all held on the open-air stage, since the weather has always been sunny and breezy during these days of the Lantern Festival.
Although few people understand why it hasn't rained in Anjun these past few days, it's become a habit because it happens every year.
He didn't leave through the main gate, but instead scaled the high wall and rushed to Tianxiang Tower.
First, they arrived at the alley next to Tianxiang Tower. This time, it wasn't the children from the Little Dragon Gang waiting for them, but Lingyue herself.
"Junior Sister, it's so great to have your help," Fu Hai said gratefully. "It's not over yet," Song Lingyue said irritably.
When there's nothing going on, I call her Lingyue; when there's something, I call her something else; and when she asks for my help, I call her Junior Sister.
"This is a surprise for Xiaoye, and I also brought this bronze mirror." Song Lingyue stuffed the items into his arms. "This is... a hairpin? A hair clip?"
“This is called a pincer flower!” Song Lingyue said. “You should study more about things that are for young ladies.” “Eh!” Fu Hai put it away and then flew over walls and rooftops, arriving directly inside Tianxiang Tower.
"Brother, why did you take so long?" Xiao Ye asked softly as she turned around and saw him come in. Fu Hai turned around, closed the door, and sat down beside her.
Beyond the railing: on the Moon River, lanterns floated gently into the sky.
Looking up at the cloud-shaped lights soaring through the sky from the building, and then looking down at the scattered boat lights below, creates a completely different atmosphere.
"Here you go!" Fu Hai took out the surprise he had brought. "A jeweled flower?" Xiao Ye exclaimed in surprise.
The beautiful pink and white butterfly-shaped hairpin is crystal clear.
"Let me help you put it on!" Fu Hai let Xiao Ye sit on his lap and put the pink and white butterfly flower in her hair.
Then he took out a brand-new small bronze mirror and placed it in front of her. "It's so beautiful!" Xiaoye exclaimed happily in his arms.
Even though she waited here for so long, her brother actually bought her such a beautiful and perfectly fitting hair ornament. So she had no choice but to forgive her!
Fu Hai was also surprised to find that the peony was such a perfect match for Xiao Ye.
A delicate, sparkling butterfly hairpin adorned her exquisite, jade-like face, further enhancing its flawless beauty.
"Aside from Junior Sister Lingyue, who often combs Xiaoye's hair these days, I'm afraid no one else could choose such a suitable hair ornament for Xiaoye," he thought to himself.
Xiaoye held the small bronze mirror in both hands, looking at it to the left, then to the right, and finally at the front. The more she looked, the more beautiful it seemed!
Such a perfect flower for her face shape must have been carefully chosen; her brother must have visited many stores and repeatedly picked and chose before finally finding the perfect surprise for her.
No wonder he was gone for so long!
"Thank you, brother!" She turned around, wrapped her arms around her brother's waist, and nestled in his embrace. Fu Hai silently apologized, feeling truly unworthy of such a thank you, but seeing Xiao Ye so happy made him happy too.
The semi-private booth was furnished with pastries and cut fruit, but Xiaoye didn't touch them since he didn't need to eat them. He took a piece of fruit and ate a bite.
At the same time, Xiaoye looked up, glancing at her brother with a happy and grateful expression. Her delicate body slid between his legs as she skillfully unbuckled his belt, wanting to repay him for the surprise he had given her that evening.
Chapter 168 It's too late, get on the bus!
Since Xiaoye was being so proactive, Fu Hai spread his arms out to his sides. Once his pants were unzipped, he suddenly realized, "Oh no!"
