Chapter 53

There was a spring under the city, and the water was like wine.

Suzhou City was near Jiuquan in the future. Although it was located in the wilderness of the northwest, there were many water sources in the city. Otherwise, Su Of Gojoseon and Xu Lie would not have built a new city here. The rumor that the water was like wine might be exaggerated, but the quality of the underground spring was indeed excellent, and there was also a very rare hot spring in the pass.

The hot spring was located in the south of Suzhou City. It was originally the camp of the Wasteland Reclamation soldiers before the city was built. After the city was built, it became empty and was rebuilt into a public service facility similar to a park by the Prince's Mansion. It was named "Bright Sun Pool" and was one of the few scenic spots in Suzhou City.

Behind the large Bright Sun Pool, there were small elegantly decorated ponds. The largest one was reserved for the Su Palace. When Concubine Su Of Gojoseon was here, she often came here. Other times, it was basically empty.

At the end of the first month and the beginning of February, the weather had not warmed up yet. The open-air hot spring within the walls was steaming, and various dresses were placed on the shore of the natural pool.

Through the mist, a big white fish could be seen swimming around in the waist-deep hot spring pool, shouting from time to time,

"Nightingale, are you a non-swimmer? Why don't you come over? "

At the edge of the pool, three girls sat neatly leaning against each other, the water up to their necks. They stared at the naked Zhu Manzhi swimming backstroke and butterfly in the pool with a somewhat strange look in their eyes.

Nightingale could walk on water and swim with ease, but she was thin and without clothes, she looked like a bean sprout. How could she have the nerve to compete with Man Zhi in swimming? Even if she won, so what? She was still a complete failure in other aspects.

Zhongli Chuchu was born in Jianghu, so she naturally knew how to swim. The natural advantage of being born in a foreign land made her the most proud of her figure among the many girls. She had the best curves, long legs, white and moist skin, and almost no blemishes. But Zhongli Chuchu was not as brave as Man Zhi. How could she have the nerve to swim in the water in front of her friends?

Needless to say, Song Yufu was born in a scholarly family, and the only opportunity she had to go into the water was the bathtub. She was shy and conservative. Just taking off her dress, she hid behind the screen for a long time and then went into the water wrapped in a towel. She was still holding her arms. It would be better to kill her than to let her swim in the pool.

Although Zhu Man Zhi was not tall, her figure was still very outstanding. She was round and smooth, and her swimming movements were even more pleasing to the eye.

But there was no one to play with, and Ning Qingye didn't come back after waiting for a long time. Zhu Manzhi gradually lost interest. She swam to Chu Chu, leaned on a rock at the edge of the pool, poured a cup of warm sake, and complained,

Xiao Ning and Da Ning and Da Zhong Zhong have been waiting for a long time. It has been two.

Why haven't they come yet? Zhongli Chuchu gently splashed water on the big white balls and shook her head, "Maybe my master and Ning Daoist don't want to come."

"How could it be? I heard from Da Ning that he used to take wild baths with Xiao Ning on the mountain. Is this place not wild enough?"

As Zhu Manzhi spoke, she raised her head and glanced at the wall in the distance. She frowned.

"Hey, could it be that Daning likes places without walls? What if someone sees it … "

Zhongli Chuchu thought Ning Yuhe was so wild that he even dared to steal his apprentice's man. But obviously, she could not tell these secrets. She smiled faintly and did not answer.

Song Yu Fu was soaking in the water and did not dare to move. After a few hours, she was about to melt. She hesitated for a while and said gently,

"How about we go back and come back next time?"

Ning Qingye didn't show up as promised. Man Zhi and Chu Chu were a little anxious from waiting, so they both nodded their heads.

After a while, four fair-skinned girls came out of the Bright Sun Pool and went back to the Prince's Mansion together.

On the way, Zhu Manzhi was a little annoyed by the sisters' untrustworthiness.

"Xiao Ning is so unreliable. If she doesn't want to take a bath, then she doesn't. She just left us here. She's so unfaithful …"

Zhongli Chuchu shook her head, "Qing Ye is straightforward. She always says what she wants. It's impossible for her to find an excuse to leave first. She must have been delayed by something."

"She just arrived in Suzhou and doesn't know anyone. What can happen to her? … "

Zhongli Chuchu thought for a moment and her green eyes suddenly shrank. Could it be that Qing Ye saw her master and Ning Yuhe serving Xu Buling together? Oh my god … Xu Buling wouldn't be hacked to death, would he?!

Things were obviously not that bad. Young Man Zhi, who was walking in front, noticed something. She suddenly stopped and hid in the corner of the wall. She made a shushing gesture.

Zhongli Chuchu came back to her senses and followed her to the corner of the wall. She poked half of her head out and looked at the back alley of the Prince's Mansion. At the other end of the alley, a man and a woman in white were holding hands and walking slowly. They were swaying, neither fast nor slow. Their movements were very intimate. Occasionally, the man would tilt his head and say something, and the woman would look to the other side with a tsundere look.

Zhu Manzhi frowned. She was already a little unhappy, and now she was even more unhappy. She muttered,

"No wonder Xiao Ning secretly ran to Young Master Xu … She's not loyal."

Zhongli Chuchu's expression was not right. She pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

Behind the two of them, Song Yufu, who had been walking with her head down, also poked her head out to take a look.

Seeing Xu Buling and Ning Qing Ye together, Song Yufu wasn't surprised. She originally wanted to watch the fun.

But for some reason, standing at the far end of the alley, she saw that familiar 'boyfriend' holding the woman's hand, interlocking their fingers, and tilting his head to talk. For some reason, Song Yufu's heart sank for no reason. Many memories came rushing back to her mind.

At the Bell and Drum Tower, she sat in front of the desk copying "Academic Records". He tilted his head like this and urged her with a fierce tone.

At the waterside pavilion of the Qujiang Pond, she sat on the edge of the balcony holding a wine gourd. She choked and coughed softly. He tilted his head and softly comforted her.

From the Prince's Mansion to Zhuji Street, the two of them walked side by side. His words were warm, but his words were flirtatious. She lowered her head and trotted quickly, not daring to answer.

On the big tree on Yufeng Mountain, she accepted the wine gourd and gave him the hairpin. The two of them leaned against each other, but they didn't say anything to express their feelings for each other.

It wasn't until the small village on Yuelu Mountain that she gathered her courage for the first time and said, "I like you."

Unknowingly, they had walked so far …

Song Yufu looked at the man and woman in white on the other side of the alley. They were too far away, so she couldn't hear what they were saying or see their expressions clearly. But every word they said echoed in her ears, and she saw every expression they had when they were so close.

She didn't know why, but after leaving the small village on Yuelu Mountain, the memories seemed to stop.

All the scenes seemed to be like this. She watched him from behind, watched him riding on a horse, watched him standing at the bow of a boat …

Even though he was right in front of her, her memories were a little blurry. It was even worse than when they were on Yuelu Mountain. At that time, she was facing the lonely light in the mountains, racking her brains to write the letter. They were thousands of miles apart, but it felt like he was right in front of her. She could see every detail of his expression as he read the letter …

Unknowingly, her vision gradually became hazy, and she couldn't see the people and things in the distance.

Song Yufu stared at him for a moment, then lowered her head. Her hands were still folded on her waist, and she quickly walked forward.

"Miss Song?!"

Zhongli Chuchu and Song Yufu had a good relationship. When she noticed that Song Yufu suddenly ran away, she called out to her in confusion. Song Yufu didn't stop. Instead, she jogged and replied,

"I'll go back first."

Her voice was trembling, and it was a little unclear.

At the other end of the alley, the two of them were walking hand in hand when they heard the call from afar.

Ning Qing Ye pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted. Her face was red, and she moved to the side. She looked a little panicked. "Oh no, Chu Chu and the others saw us … It's all your fault, you pervert. How am I going to explain this to them …"

When Xu Buling heard Song Yufu's response, he noticed that something was wrong. He frowned and quickly turned around. He saw Song Yufu, who was wearing a light yellow dress, had just disappeared to the other side of the alley. Zhongli Chuchu and Zhu Manzhi, who had poked their heads out, looked in that direction. Their eyes were filled with confusion.

Ning Qing Ye looked back at the entrance of the alley. When she saw the scene, she was slightly puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"I'll go and take a look."

After Xu Buring replied, he leaped onto the wall of the courtyard and chased after them from the top of the house...
