1519 She Disliked Him Even More
When Ji’er heard that, she seemed to understand something but pretended not to as she asked, “Which annoying fellow?”
Yaoyao shut up awkwardly. “Forget about it. Let’s not talk about him. It’s just bad luck.”
Ji’er glanced at her and said nothing more.
For the next few days, Yaoyao was unable to ride a horse due to her sprained ankle. Not only that, she could not have fun in every town they went to and was forced to stay indoors.
!!This bored Yaoyao out of her mind and she disliked Beitang You even more.
If not for him, she would not have sprained her ankle.
Her plans of having fun throughout the journey had fallen apart and it was not difficult to imagine how moody Yaoyao was.
By the fifth day, they stopped to rest in a small city.
After Ji’er helped Yaoyao into the room, she said to Yaoyao, “Yaoyao, I’ve been accompanying you the last few days and haven’t been out at all. This little city looks pretty exciting. I’ll go out for a walk with Lil Qi later. What do you feel like eating? I’ll bring some food back for you.”
Yaoyao looked at her younger sister unhappily when she heard this.
This girl had used the excuse of not going anywhere the last few days because she was accompanying her to stop Yaoyao from saying anything.
No matter how unwilling Yaoyao was to stay in the room alone, she could not bear to stop Ji’er from making plans to go out with Big Bro Lil qi.
“Alright, there’s no need to bother with me. Go out and have fun with Big Bro Lil Qi,” Yaoyao said without revealing her real thoughts.
She could not be selfish and stop Ji’er from going out. Ji’er had been holding back on seeing Lil Qi and had stayed by her side for quite a few days.
Ji’er could not bear to leave Yaoyao alone in the room, but she had not been alone with Lil Qi for quite many days and after struggling with it, she finally made the decision to go out with Lil Qi.
She decided that she would not go anywhere the next day and stay by Yaoyao’s side.
However, when she walked out of the room and left the inn with Chu Qi, she felt guilty about it.
Ji’er felt she was not loyal enough to Yaoyao.
Lil Qi noticed her feeling bad and held her little hand as he said, “Don’t worry. There will be someone taking care of Yaoyao. Moreover, her ankle is almost healed. She would be fine.”
“Alright.” Ji’er nodded as she tried her best not to think about it.
She watched the bustling street that was full of people and held tight onto Chu Qi’s hand as they weaved through the crowd.
When Beitang You returned from outside, he saw Ji’er leaving with Chu Qi and he gave pause before leading his men into the inn.
He stopped in front of Yaoyao’s room when he pa.s.sed by it and knocked on her door.
Yaoyao’s listless voice was heard from within. “Who is it?”
“It’s me.” Beitang You gave a light cough as he answered.
He had thought she would not open the door when she heard his voice, but after a while, Yaoyao skipped on one leg to open the door.
“What do you want?” She still sounded quite brusque to him.
Beitang You took out two dolls made out of sugar from behind him and gave them to her. “I pa.s.sed by a stall and saw an elderly person doing a pretty job with this, so I bought a pair to give to you and your sister. I hope you like it.”
It was a pair of identical-looking girls.
One was wearing a pink dress while the other was in a light green dress. The girl in the light green dress had a red mole in the middle of her forehead, which was clearly made in Ji’er’s image.
Suffice to say, the girl in pink would be Yaoyao.
When he handed her the sugar dolls, Yaoyao’s eyes brightened, but she held back the urge to take them. “Thank you for thinking of us. How much are they?”
Beitang You smiled. “Do you need to draw such a clear line between us?”
