Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 390 - 388

Chapter 390: Chapter 388

Everyone quickly finished off the whole lamb, and at the same time, those chickens were roasted to perfection.

Shangguan Xuanyi carefully cut the lamb meat with just the right amount of fat and lean, and as Xiao’er barbecued the chicken on the side, he fed Xiao’er slices of lamb one by one.

People had grown immune to the couple’s excessive displays of affection.

Shangguan Xuanjun finally understood why Shangguan Xuanhao and Di Shaowei had looked at his barbecued chicken with such disdain just now.

If the lamb had been roasted by him, he would dreadfully think that it would really be ruined! How incredibly relieved he was to have been stopped by them!

Just looking at these chickens with their golden-brown and evenly roasted skin, rich in aroma, he couldn’t make a comparison with the one he had just roasted.

His mouth was watering nonstop, almost unable to swallow.

He really wanted to eat, but he was already half-full, having eaten quite a bit of lamb, his stomach was now burstingly full!

Unable to eat anymore, he could only swallow his saliva while looking at the tempting roast chicken.

He glanced at Shangguan Xuanhao, who was still relishing his meal, having just polished off a lamb leg and half a chicken, and still intending to continue with another roast chicken.

How...

He decisively picked up the last roast chicken on the rack.

"Hey, what are you doing, I’m still hungry! Didn’t you just say you were full?" Shangguan Xuanhao had just spit out a chicken bone, ready to fight for the next roast chicken.

"I’ll save it for later." Shangguan Xuanjun shamelessly replied.

Everyone: "....."

Such an unabashed move!

Upon hearing his words, Shangguan Xuanhao exploded in anger, "You’ve already eaten, this one is mine!"

"You just finished half a chicken too! " Does this person have a bottomless stomach? How can he eat so much?

"Shangguan Xuanjun, I will not lose to you!"Shangguan Xuanhao decided to fight, even if he can’t win!

Thus, the two of them ended up fighting over a roast chicken.

Everyone else just ignored them. As long as these two are together for more than 30 minutes, they always argue! Now they’ve just escalated the argument to a fight. After all, they have both eaten too much and have nothing else to do, fighting can help them digest.

Di Shaowei, Zhao Youwei, Li Mingfang all knowingly or unknowingly had something to eat and kept on drinking, and eventually, all three of them got drunk.

After the bodyguards and maids from the Post Station had taken care of the three, the others went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Youwei came out of his room alone and sat on a lakeside rock in the backyard of the Post Station.

The lake at the Post Station is used for fish farming. Several willows have been planted by the lake. When summer arrives, the fresh green color gives off a sense of elegance.

Now, it was only filled with cold desolation.

Zhao Youwei thought about the days when his leg was broken and how by chance, he obtained the divine medicine that healed his leg and introduced him to a girl that he can’t look away from, nor forget.

Not long after, the sky began to gently send down fluttering snowflakes.

Zhao Youwei, recalling the frowns and smiles of a certain girl, unknowingly smiled at the corner of his mouth. Even the falling snow went unnoticed.

Li Mingfang had been hiding in the dark. Seeing that he was oblivious to the snow, she stepped out.

A cloak fell onto Zhao Youwei. A subtle, unique girl’s scent lingered on the cloak.

Zhao Youwei was startled. He quickly stood up and the cloak naturally fell to the ground.

He turned around and saw Li Mingfang, he then frowned and said,

"Miss Li, what are you doing here?"

He picked up the cloak from the ground and handed it back to her.

"Miss Li? Brother Zhao, when did we become so formal?" She didn’t take the cloak he handed her.

When they were young, he used to call her sister Mingfang.

Seeing her lightly dressed, Zhao Youwei directly draped the cloak over her shoulders.

"Now we’ve grown up, and there are differences between men and women. It’s different from when we were kids. It wouldn’t be good if your reputation was tarnished."

Upon hearing he was worried about her reputation, Li Mingfang felt a bit comforted.

"Brother Zhao, who were you thinking of just now that you were so...deep in thought?" Actually, what she wanted to say was, he seemed guilty, as if her appearance had interrupted a secret.

"It’s snowing, I’m going back to sleep." Zhao Youwei didn’t answer her question, took a step and wanted to leave quickly.

Late at night, a man and a woman alone in this backyard, it could easily be misunderstood. If someone saw and spread rumors, her reputation would be ruined.

"Is it the Lady of Rui’an County?"

At the mention of this, Zhao Youwei paused, then continued to walk. "You’ve misunderstood. The Lady of Rui’an County and I have nothing to do with each other. Why would I think about her!"

"I like you, so I know you like her."

When Di Shaowei heard this, he stopped and quickly hid in the shadows.

Having heard this, Zhao Youwei felt a surge of embarrassment.

"Miss Li, don’t joke around! You can’t just casually say such things!"

After leaving those words behind, he walked faster.

Di Shaowei had vaguely heard the neighbouring door open in his drunken haze. Suffering a splitting headache, he turned around to go back to sleep.

Only later in his daze did he remember who was staying in the room next door, which drove him to resist his headache, get out of bed, go out of his room, and follow them to their current location.

Looking at the figures in the distance, his hangover headache seemed to intensify.

Watching the figure walking away, Li Mingfang felt a pang of distress.

Since childhood, she loved to practice martial arts and always begged her father to take her to the military camp.

Both Di Shaowei and Zhao Youwei, being children of military families, practically grew up in the military camp.

However, while Di Shaowei was forced by his father to follow, Zhao Youwei loved martial arts so much that he asked to be taken along.

She and Zhao Youwei would always seriously study martial arts on one side, while Di Shaowei would slack off. He would avoid training if he could, and even pretend to be sick to escape from it.

Regrettably, even like this, he learnt quickly. Some moves he would master in one try, sometimes he could even draw inferences from one fact.

With such good talent, she didn’t understand why he didn’t cherish it. She looked down on this kind of person who was not ambitious, frivolous, and obsessed with wealth.

But she didn’t expect that when General Li saw her arguing with Di Shaowei, he mistook it for flirting. Then he jokingly said to her father: They’ve grown up together, playmates from childhood, their bond is rare. Might as well arrange a marriage.

Damn that childhood love, those innocent feelings!

Her father, having been saved by General Di, and thinking that Di Shaowei will certainly achieve great things in the future, arranged the engagement despite her opposition!

Afterwards, constant warfare sprang up in the northwest, and her father was ordered to go there. She decisively followed him, out of sight, out of mind!

Thinking that she can’t return to the military camp, can’t become a female general, and on the lane of love, her feelings are unrequited.

She suddenly felt that her future path was as unbearable as the headache after a night of heavy drinking!

She needed to clear her head...

Then she resolutely turned around and jumped into the lake.
