Chapter 353 - 353 261 Dont You Like Eating Cucumbers
?Chapter 353: Chapter 261 Don’t You Like Eating Cucumbers? Chapter 353: Chapter 261 Don’t You Like Eating Cucumbers? Zhao Rong asked his fellow scholars along the way before he found the Yilan Pavilion.
This refined courtyard was situated in the quiet southeast corner of the spacious Linlu Academy, surrounded by scattered buildings like the Zunjing Pavilion, which he had been eager to visit and read books in.
Although it was Zhu Yourong who had actively sought him out this time, since Zhao Rong had a favor to ask, he wasn’t the thick-skinned type and felt embarrassed to arrive empty-handed. So, he casually picked a few tender, juicy cucumbers from brother Teng Ying’s field. They say gifts need not be lavish but should convey heartfelt sentiment, besides, the cucumbers from East Fence Small House were a unique feature of the Linlu Academy. Women probably liked them… for beauty, perhaps?
Even Ye Huaijin, that stubborn and old-fashion fellow, enjoyed eating them—although Zhao Rong thought that if she kept frowning while eating cucumbers, it would be useless. Later, he would see if a joke could rescue this lost girl. Therefore, Zhao Rong guessed Zhu Yourong probably wouldn’t be an exception and should also like cucumbers.
Zhao Rong pondered this to himself.
Fueled by this simple deduction, he arrived at Yilan Pavilion with the cucumbers that carried heavy sentiment. As for Jia Tengying waking up, dumbfounded, to find five fewer cucumbers in his once thief-ransacked empty cucumber field, Zhao Rong didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, Yu Huaijin was also here. Delivering a cucumber to her on behalf of brother Teng Ying would probably make that taciturn man blush and stammer out a thank you to him.
Zhao Rong stood inside Yilan Pavilion’s gate, took a bite of cucumber, raised his eyebrows, and locked eyes with the six people inside the Guest Pavilion.
His “good morning” greeting was met with silence, and for a moment, not a single person at the door of Yilan Pavilion broke the stalemate.
Han Wenfu and Gu Yiwu, among several men, stared blankly at the unexpected visitor at the door, still processing the peculiar fact that a blue-clothed girl had run away like a sheep spotting a wolf.
Ye Huaijin regained her composure and her gaze lingered briefly on the cucumber in Zhao Rong’s hand before she quietly turned away.
Zhao Rong thought for a moment, freed one hand to rub his face, and found nothing there.
He shook his head, turned to close the courtyard door, but his gaze lingered on the couplet carved in the wooden doorframe before it shut.
Zhao Rong headed towards the Guest Pavilion.
