The host of fast travel, she always wants to be lazy

Chapter 42 Cousin Cousin (8)

After Qiao Rong saluted, she sat down opposite Qi Yan.

She glanced down at the chessboard on the table, and she understood a little.

Well, it turned out to be playing chess...

Qi Yan looked at her with some interest, and a smile flashed in his peach blossom eyes, then, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said in a soft tone: "Can my cousin play chess?"

Qiao Rong shook his head.

Qi Yan narrowed his eyes, then gently took out a white chess piece, and played with it in his knuckle-boned hands.

The chess piece was turning nimbly between his white jade-like fingers. For a moment, it was unknown whether the porcelain white chess piece was whiter or his fingers were fairer.

Qi Yan raised his eyes slightly, and asked in a bewitching tone: "...Want to learn? I can teach you."

Qiao Rong immediately raised his head, blinked at him, and asked, "Is it okay?"

The smile in Qi Yan's eyes deepened, and then she gently stretched out her other hand, gesturing towards her.

Qiao Rong didn't know what this meant, and there was some doubt in his eyes.

Qi Yan raised his chin slightly and said succinctly: "Hand."

"……Oh."

Qiao Rong quickly reached out her hand.

Then, Qi Yan's hand gently held her hand. He seemed to tighten it slightly for a moment, then immediately let go and put the white chess piece into the palm of her hand.

Then, the other free hand picked up a black chess piece and placed it on a certain corner of the chessboard first.

Then he took Qiao Rong's hand and guided her to gently place the white chess piece next to the black chess piece.

Before Qiao Rong could react, another white chess piece was stuffed into his hand.

Qiao Rong: ...

……

So, Qi Yan held her hand and played chess while explaining to her in his careless voice.

Qiao Rong was a little uncomfortable at first, always wanting to move his hands, but after listening to the explanation, he gradually became fascinated and forgot about the hands.

So, when Cui Liu arrived, she saw such a beautiful picture.

A man in white and a woman in a pure white cloak are sitting together in a small pavilion with plum blossoms in full bloom.

But... when Cuiliu saw the man's appearance clearly, she was frightened and almost dropped the medicine bowl she was holding in her hand.

She stood stupidly for a while, then hesitated to step forward, stopped a few steps away from the small pavilion, and shouted with some hesitation: "Princess, it's time to drink the medicine."

Hearing her voice, Qiao Rong pulled his mind away from the chessboard, and then became visibly depressed.

She looked at Cui Liu with resentful eyes.

Cui Liu hastily bowed to Qi Yan, then stepped forward and gently placed the medicine bowl on the side of the chessboard.

Qi Yan also let go of Qiao Rong's hand without hesitation, and looked up at her.

Qiao Rong had no choice but to pick up the medicine bowl, and after ten seconds of mental training, he pinched his little nose, closed his eyes, and poured the medicine juice into his mouth, his whole face wrinkled .

It was the first time Qi Yan saw this way of drinking medicine, and couldn't help feeling a little funny and cute.

After Qiao Rong drank the last drop of medicinal juice, she put down the bowl and tried her best to resist the urge to retch, but she still stuck out her little tongue unconsciously.

Qi Yan's eyes instantly darkened, like a deep pool.

Qiao Rong pursed her lips, suppressing the bitterness in her mouth, then looked up at Cui Liu eagerly, with obvious meaning.

Cui Liu couldn't help smiling, and then handed over a small candied fruit.

Qiao Rong took it over, compared the size, and couldn't help muttering: "It's so small..."

Cui Liu replied: "Princess, it's not good to eat too much."

Hearing this, Qiao Rong sighed depressingly, then stuffed the candied fruit into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

……

Not long after drinking the medicine, Qiao Rong planned to go back to rest.

Before leaving, Qi Yan stopped her suddenly, stared at her with his burning peach eyes, and then asked in an unclear tone: "Why didn't my cousin go to the mother's palace for dinner yesterday?"

Qiao Rong blinked at him, then replied softly, "I'm afraid I'll disturb my cousin and aunt discussing important matters."

Hearing this, Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, with some surprise in his eyes.

Discuss something important?

Where did she come to such a conclusion...

However, seeing her serious expression, Qi Yan felt a little helpless, sighed slightly, and then said softly, "Cousin... I really hope to see my cousin during dinner..."

He didn't finish speaking, he just kept looking into her eyes, as if he hoped to convey his thoughts to her through this.

Qiao Rong was stunned.
