Chapter Forty-Four I Am Also Glass

  "Ah!..." Little Chili and Little Lotus stared at the two in shock, they were surprised because they already knew Li Qing's identity. The talented women on the side, however, were wringing their hands in dismay, what an excellent person! How could he have such a strange hobby? It's really unfair, heaven is unjust!

  "Cough! Cough! Cough!..." Li Yunfei only then noticed the strange expressions of the crowd, and hurriedly pushed Li Qingchu outwards. But he found that Li Qingchu was looking at him with eyes as calm as autumn water, and with that expression... This guy couldn't be getting emotional, could he?! Was he really made of glass? Heaven! Spare me! Li Yunfei quickly accelerated, pulling Xiaolian's hand, and ran in the direction they came from.

  "What's going on? It seems like I've been shocked! " Xiao La Jiao looked at the back of Xiao Lian and Li Yun Fei, muttering to herself, she couldn't understand how they suddenly changed into this state. "Uh! Ha! Ha! Ha! ... ... Sister Pipa, you're so emotional! No wonder that guy ran away so fast, it turns out he thought you were Long Yang Jun! Ha! Ha! Ha! ... ..."

  "What are you talking about, you little scamp? I... how could I be moved to emotion?" Li Qing Shu, no, it should be Li Shu Qin instead, glared at Xiao La Jiao with her eyebrows furrowed in anger, recalling the awkwardness she had just experienced, and her face turned red again. In the end, she could only storm off, muttering to herself, "But earlier was really so warm, so safe! Go away! What am I thinking? How embarrassing!" Li Shu Qin walked faster and faster, almost as if her feet didn't touch the ground. Anyone with discerning eyes would know that she possessed a unique lightness skill. Don't forget, among the three heroes of the Wind and Dust, the only female Red Brocade Lady was renowned for her swordsmanship and lightness skills.

  "Hmph! That rascal didn't wait for me, and neither did you! Wait for me, Sister Shuqin! I won't tease you again, okay?" Although Little Chili Pepper was also skilled in lightness kung fu, compared to Li Shuqin, it was like a small witch meeting a great witch. Despite being drenched in sweat, she couldn't catch up with Li Shuqin and instead fell further behind, which made Little Chili Pepper feel very disheartened. However, this also stirred up her competitive spirit, and her internal energy and lightness kung fu actually improved slightly, which made her very happy.

  "Hah! Hah!..." Li Yunfei returned to the Qin Wang Fu, panting heavily, "I'm exhausted, I'm scared to death! I didn't think that my reputation as a hero would be ruined by befriending a glass brother. It's... it's too stimulating!" Thinking back to Li Shuqin's behavior earlier, Li Yunfei felt a little moved, "No way! Has my orientation changed? Heaven! This is terrible!"

  "Yunfei, what's wrong with you? Nothing's wrong, is it?" Xiaolian saw Li Yunfei's pale face and sweat dripping down like rain, she didn't know what was wrong with him or if he had suddenly contracted some strange illness. The more Xiaolian thought about it, the more anxious she became.

  "Xiao...Lian! I have some bad news to tell you!" Li Yunfei heard Xiao Lian's voice, his eyes showing a mix of emotions, and finally seemed to make a final decision. He thought that since he had already determined that Xiao Lian was the one who would accompany him for life, then he should tell her what was going on.

  "What's wrong? Yunfei, take your time and tell me, everything can be solved, don't worry at all!" Xiaolian saw Li Yunfei say this to herself, although she didn't know what had happened, but still comforted Li Yunfei like this. What a gentle person!

  "Xiao Lian, it's like this!" Li Yunfei expressed his thoughts and insights to Xiao Lian, but the complaints and dissatisfaction he expected did not appear. Instead, Xiao Lian looked at him with a strange gaze.

  "Ha! Ha! Ha!..." Xiaolian couldn't bear it anymore, looking at Li Yunfei's worried expression, she burst out laughing. "Oh my! My stomach... my stomach hurts, tears... tears are about to come out, I'm going to die from laughter! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Xiaolian really couldn't take it anymore, never expecting that Li Yunfei's EQ was so low, no wonder his usual method of identifying a woman's identity didn't work on Li Shuqin.

  "Xiao Lian! Xiao Lian! What's wrong with you? I'm your man! It's possible that I have some abnormal thoughts, but I've actually developed feelings for a man. Of course, it can't be said that I like him, but even if I do have feelings, this shouldn't be happening! You're still smiling now, is it really that funny?

  Li Yunfei looked at Xiao Lian with some sadness, could it be that in this era, these things aren't taken seriously? Isn't this being too open-minded?"

  "Haha! Haha! Alright, I won't laugh anymore, but Yunfei, you're not what you said you were! You'll know later, haha! Actually, you don't have to worry, no matter what shape you become, as long as you don't abandon me, Xiaolian will always love you and be with you forever!" Xiaolian suppressed her laughter with great effort, then looked at Li Yunfei with deep affection.

  "Xiao Lian! I love you too! Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will never abandon you. In this life and the next, we will be together." Li Yunfei didn't expect Xiao Lian to say that, it really moved him, he gently hugged Xiao Lian in his arms and said softly.

  "I'm really scared! Today, I saw you and Miss Changsun looking at each other like that, and I was really scared. I was afraid that I wouldn't be good enough for you, and then you would like her instead and ignore me!" Xiaolian said, also feeling melancholy and wounded. Her own status was indeed not worthy of being Li Yunfei's main wife, and with more and more women around Li Yunfei, who was so excellent, Xiaolian felt a strong sense of crisis, which made her feel physically and mentally exhausted.

  "How could that be? Xiaolian, you will always be my most beloved, no one can replace your position, whoever it is?" Li Yunfei placed Xiaolian's head on his shoulder, inhaling the unique fragrance from her body, and his mood calmed down a lot.

  "But... but that Long Sun Miss is really too beautiful, she's like a noble peony, making people feel inferior, her innate nobility makes Xiaolian feel ashamed! " Xiaolian drew circles on Li Yunfei's chest and said weakly.

  "My little lotus is not inferior to her in any way! Little lotus, come with me, I'll make my intentions clear." Li Yunfei brought Little Lotus to a pavilion and had her sit down beside it. "Little Lotus, stay there and don't move, just for a moment. Someone, bring the writing materials!" It was only then that Li Yunfei felt how comfortable it was to be someone with status.

  "Little Prince, what's this?" Xiao Hong looked at Li Yunfei and Xiao Lian in surprise, not knowing what they were going to do. However, she still followed Li Yunfei's words and arranged all these things on the stone table, but she didn't intend to leave. She stayed here out of curiosity and also to wait for Li Yunfei's orders at any time.

  "Alright! Xiao Hong, just witness this for me, I want to make a promise to your little sister Xiaolian." Li Yunfei picked up his brush and constantly referred to Xiaolian, then quickly on the paper appeared an ethereal beauty sitting in a pavilion, gazing at the lotus flowers below. Although there were no lotus flowers at this time, they grew out under Li Yunfei's brush. Xiao Hong looked at the painting with eyes full of admiration for Li Yunfei.

  "The flowers of aquatic and terrestrial plants are lovely, but the charming ones are numerous. Jin Tao Yuanming alone loved chrysanthemums; since Li Tang's time, people have been fond of peonies; I alone love lotus for its ability to emerge from muddy water without being stained, to be washed by clear ripples without becoming flirtatious, with a straight and unadorned stem, not spreading or branching out, with fragrance that becomes even clearer at a distance, standing quietly and elegantly, able to be admired from afar but not to be carelessly trifled with. I say chrysanthemums are the reclusive flowers; peonies are the luxurious and noble flowers; lotus is the gentlemanly flower. Alas! The love for chrysanthemums has rarely been heard of since Tao's time; who shares my love for lotus? The love for peony is indeed suitable for the masses."

  Li Yunfei used Zhou Dunyi's "Love Lotus" to express his unwavering devotion to Xiaolian, who was now moved to tears. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with delight, and it seemed Li Yunfei had achieved his goal. "Xiaolian! This is a special gift just for you, do you like it?"

  "I love it! I really do, Yun Fei doesn't matter how you treat me in the future, having this is enough for me, my life hasn't been lived in vain!" Xiang Lian looked at herself in the painting, that faint smile on her lips, a pair of beautiful eyes gazing at the lotus flower on the water's surface. It turns out that lotus flowers can be so sacred, it turns out I'm this important in Young Master Wang's heart."

  "I'm really envious of Little Lian, yeah! If one day I can also get the favor of Young Master Wang, that would be great!" Xiao Hong looked at happy Little Lian with envy. At just 14 years old, she didn't fully understand some things yet, but her heart was filled with genuine admiration for Little Lian, without any impurities in her envy.
