Chapter 190 Fake Sigma Man
After walking out of the vermilion gate of the Jiangxia Palace, Zhang Xianhuai felt light all over, as if he had been dreaming, and everything around him seemed so unreal.
His steps were a little slow, and his thoughts were completely immersed in every moment he had just spent with Li Xueyan.
Those scenes, like a trickle of water, flowed slowly and echoed in his heart.
Unconsciously, he slowly raised his slightly trembling hand and gently placed the back of his hand close to his nose.
He moved very carefully, fearing that he would dispel the remaining breath on the back of his hand.
A light sniff seemed to still linger with the faint scent of Li Xueyan's rouge.
It was just their first encounter, but as soon as he stepped out of the palace, the longing for her began to surge in his heart.
In just a moment, he began to miss her.
Zhang Xianhuai suddenly came to his senses and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
He looked so uncontrollable in his emotions that he seemed too unrestrained and completely lost his usual dignity.
……
"Xian Huai, what are you doing here?"
"What good thing do you have on your hand that you keep smelling?"
Zhang Xianhuai was startled by the sudden sound and looked up suddenly. What caught his eyes were the faces of Qin Ruzhao and Xue Rengui with playful smiles.
His cheeks flushed instantly, and the embarrassment spread quickly.
He gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out a sentence from his throat: "Why are you two here?"
Qin Ruzhao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of unruly smile, and said nonchalantly: "Passing by? What's wrong? Is there anything special here? Can't I just pass by?"
Zhang Xianhuai coughed lightly, the cough sounding particularly abrupt. He tried to hide his inner panic and discomfort, and said, "No, it's just a little unexpected."
Xue Rengui had a playful smile on his face. His bright and cunning eyes carefully looked Zhang Xianhuai up and down, and he teased, "Look at your distraught look. Could it be that someone has seduced you?"
"I think it's not just that his soul has been seduced away. He's probably still thinking about it in his mind and can't bear to leave!"
As he spoke, Qin Ruzhao deliberately raised his rough and calloused hand high up, looked left and right, and then said sarcastically: "Xianhuai, my hand is so rough, I wonder if you will find it soft?"
Hearing the two people's banter in such a tacit and harmonious manner, Zhang Xianhuai was stunned at first, then gave up struggling and laughed helplessly.
"Okay, if you two have the guts, don't leave today!" As he said that, Zhang Xianhuai could no longer suppress the shame and anger in his heart, and rushed towards the two of them with pretended anger.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the two men smiled at each other and ran away. Their feet were flying, and bursts of cheerful laughter and shouts came out of their mouths from time to time, which lasted for a long time.
……
In the afternoon, in the Liangyi Hall.
Zhang Xianhuai stood in front of Li Chengqian's desk with an embarrassed look on his face, his hands unconsciously rubbing the corners of his clothes. His posture looked like a shy little girl, completely devoid of his usual heroic spirit.
Li Chengqian looked at him with disdain and said mercilessly, "Xian Huai, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't act so disgusting in front of me."
"How are you thinking about this? Do you want me to grant you a marriage?"
Zhang Xianhuai nodded slightly.
In fact, he already knew what was happening in the Jiangxia Palace. Qin Ruzhao and Xue Rengui were secretly sent there by Li Chengqian to watch the fun.
Li Chengqian was full of curiosity and wanted to see what Zhang Xianhuai, a guy who seemed to be as stubborn as an elm block and didn't understand romance, would be like and how he would react when he fell in love.
But the scene before him was far beyond his expectations.
"Xian Huai, you're so good! It's only been a short while. You've arrived this morning, so go back and take a shower. Then come to me this afternoon to ask for the marriage!"
"Thinking about what you said to me this morning, I went to explain it to the other party. It was indeed clear and quick!"
"With this kind of efficiency, you deserve to be a Jinyiwei."
Li Chengqian slowly shook his head and sighed softly.
"I thought you were a Sigma man, but I didn't expect you to be such a love-brained person."
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhang Xianhuai's face was full of confusion. His brows slightly furrowed, and he asked with wide eyes, "Your Majesty, what is a Sigma Man?"
Li Chengqian glanced at him and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry about it, you don't understand."
"Be nicer to others in the future and don't bully them, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xianhuai immediately held his head high and chest out, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and said in a loud and firm voice: "Your Majesty! I will never betray Yan'er!"
"Okay, okay!" Li Chengqian waved his hands helplessly.
"I don't want to smell the sour smell of your love here."
"I approve this marriage for you."
"When you have time, tell your teacher about this matter and ask him to come to your wedding. Also, notify your family, okay?"
"Marry her honestly and openly."
"As for the betrothal gifts, you know that my money is all with your teacher."
"Your teacher will definitely prepare a generous betrothal gift for you. You can choose my share yourself. I will give you a note when the time comes. Is that okay with you?"
When Zhang Xianhuai heard Li Chengqian ask him to choose again, his tone suddenly became a little aggrieved.
"Your Majesty, you let me choose last time! The teacher just picked it for me without even giving me a chance to choose!"
"Can I choose by myself this time, Your Majesty? Why don't you give me an imperial edict and let me choose from the teacher's treasure house like Grand Tutor Qi did?"
"Otherwise I'm afraid the teacher will just pick it out for me!"
Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Xianhuai, feeling both angry and amused. He sighed deeply, "You usually seem quite smart, why are you so stupid this time?"
"The stingy guy raised you like his own son. You don't even have to choose when you get married. He will pick out the most expensive things himself."
"I won't embarrass you! You can't even see that."
Zhang Xianhuai tilted his head, frowned, and thought seriously. He pondered in his heart, yes, his teacher usually cared for him and treated him like his own child, so he couldn't be stingy with his betrothal gifts, right?
What's more, so many rare treasures were found during the house search this time.
The teacher will surely not be stingy!
