In the evening, as the brothers were walking on a food street, Ah Juns chicken feather letter was found by them, from the pen pal whom he had never met.
"Small wines letter!"
As for this, Ah Jun felt surprised but also happy, completely unaware of anything unusual——He couldnt wait to open it and look again, and then quickly found a place to write back.
Little did they know that in some distant corner, a pair of gleaming eyes were watching them.
The feathered letter spread its wings and flew away with Ah Juns affection, soon disappearing from sight. At this moment, the eyes in the corner seemed to suddenly shift their attention, looking at something, then quickly came back to themselves.
Then, a girls figure began to approach Ah Jun and his companions—— Her wheat-colored skin was framed by oversized glasses, with a ponytail tied up. She wore a slightly worn sweater and loose jeans, quietly reaching the crossroads of the food street. Though only one step away from Ah Jun, she chose to remain hidden nearby, observing the scene from a distance.
However, Ah Jun had a keen intuition that was beyond ordinary people, and he soon sensed something unusual——Suddenly, he turned around and looked around, but did not see the figure.
So, Ah Jun smiled at himself and remembered his previous suspicion. He shook his head and warned himself that he needed to pay attention——But what he did not know was that while he was reflecting, she appeared again.
The girl, a resident of the town with the same physical features as the locals, came to greet her visitor Ah Jun—— but was stopped by her mother before she could make a move, and was dragged back home. The girl held a chicken feather letter in her hand, unwillingly shouting and trying to slip away, but her mother didnt give her a chance.
The mother knew what her daughter was thinking, what the uninvited guest was like, and what she should and should not do, so she wanted to help her daughter. The girl had to obediently follow her home under her mothers persuasion, but she did not give up in her heart.
Though not particularly large, Peach Blossom Valley can be explored in a single day. Each area boasts unique features – mouthwatering local cuisine, breathtaking landscapes, and architectural marvels – making it a perfect destination that could easily take days to fully experience. Beyond the protected zones, the area beyond the protective barriers teems with exotic fish species, creating an aquatic wonderland that truly rivals a professional aquarium.
Ah Jun and Xiao Xi kept eating, drinking, walking and stopping. Wherever they went, there were new things and warm hospitality. The whole town was like a big family, with doors closed at night and a happy atmosphere.
The scare was like a respite for the two children, who enjoyed an extra, wonderful adventure on the trip.
Before I knew it, the time had come to the next day. The town was awakened in the early morning with the sound of peoples laughter, and the whole place was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Every year at this time, Taohua Yuan holds a temple fair. Now, after careful design of the props and scenes used before, everything is in operation. Every place is a beautiful landscape, and every place is a popular spot for photos.
After a restful nights sleep, Ah Jun felt full of energy and got up early to join the festival activities——Xiao Xi, who had been playing games all night, was still in a daze but looked energetic and excited. She heard there would be even more special festival food today.
Ah Jun really envied Xiao Xis good health. Of course, such a habit of staying up late was not good. As an elder brother, he often tried to dissuade her, but it was rare and unavoidable, because the spring could not be pressed too tightly.
The two brothers thus wandered happily on the streets of the town full of festive atmosphere, looking, eating and playing, lively, decorated with lights and lanterns, happy and peaceful.
Amidst the festive clamor, Ah Jun detected another faint psychic tremor——mirroring yesterdays. The source was the girl herself, her lips curved in a toothy grin as she watched the boys from a distance. Though using the holiday event as cover to escape her mothers watch, she now had a bodyguard—more precisely, an undercover agent sent by her own mother—to keep tabs on her. This guardian stood nearby, scrutinizing Ah Jun and his companions. Like the girl, she was a townsfolk, their childhood friend, sworn sister, and the girls mothers niece.
"I said, Jiu er, which one exactly? The little chubby one? Hmm, hes quite tall..."
The girls twin sister squinted for a long time, pondered for a long time, and then said in doubt, "——But if its the boy next to him... ah, no, hes thin and weak, clearly a sick man!"
"—— You dont know!"
When her little sister said this, the girl suddenly became a bit anxious. She knew her little sister always spoke directly and somewhat bluntly. Although she was used to it, she couldnt hold back this time. Furrowing her brows in displeasure, she shot a diss at her good sister, then shifted her gaze, pushed up her glasses, and stared at Xiao Ajun with wide eyes and long lashes, muttering to herself: "Hes strong and kind—— hell get better!"
"Oh! Why are you in such a hurry—— Im just stating facts..."
Seeing the girls slight displeasure, the little sister immediately smiled and put her hand on her shoulder, gently saying, "So, it turns out that the one youve been longing for is really him, hmm—— But if you like him, thats fine. Anyway, I dont think hes worthy of you... Oh, right, you like him, what about that person?"
"—— No, dont talk nonsense, we are just friends!"
The girl looked nervous and nudged her sister with her elbow. Then, after a moment of hesitation, she added: "Who? Who is that person?"
"Say what you say..."
The little sister just answered helplessly, and then, seeing her point to the distance, suddenly, a beautiful short cat came running over.
"Yay, how did you get here? Small dimples."
The girl was surprised to pick up the cat, and then, with her sister, she scratched it and asked, "What do you want to see?"
"Hey, I said, Jiu er, these glasses are so old, the prescription is out of date, you dont want to change them..."
The little sister looked helplessly at the girl, then looked into the far corner, but the previous figure had disappeared.
"Oh, its good to see it. Its not bad!"
So the sisters chatted, quarreled and laughed at each other, while the cat squatted on their shoulders and meowed in agreement.
At this time, Ah Jun always felt that there was someone talking about him. He sneezed several times in a row, but he could not detect it. He guessed that he was cold. Then, he was dragged by Xiao Xi to run here and squeeze there, so he did not care about it so much.
"Hey, little brother, is this your first time to the temple fair?"
Just as the girl and her little sister stopped playing, they saw several girls of the same age have slowly come to Xiao Xi and Ah Jun, greeting them with a smile——They were dressed in custom-made Hanfu for the festival, looking exquisite. At first glance, they were all beautiful young women!
"Ha ha, yes, were here for the first time..."
At this moment, Xiao Xi, as the E-personality, began to chat with them skillfully, appearing sociable and popular. However, Ah Jun had already started feeling uncomfortable. He was not good at dealing with people, and the initiative and approach of the beautiful girl made him a bit at a loss.
Of course, small talk is just social niceties. After chatting with Xiaoxi for a while, the girls exchanged glances. Then, one of them who looked mature and dressed most elegantly walked up to Ah Jun gracefully, wanting to make contact. As for the others, they were also waiting for the next step.
——The peach blossoms are slowly approaching, but Ah Jun just wants to escape. He never thought of this situation. He was a little confused, and his face was awkward and panicked. The girl thought he was shy.
"No, I have to go help him!"
Meanwhile, the girl who had been keeping a distant watch couldnt bear to watch any longer. She knew Ah Juns situation well and was determined to uphold justice—— but was stopped by her little sister nearby.
"Hey, why are you going?"
"Save people... Look at them. He must be in a lot of pain right now!"
"How do you know? Maybe they like it... Who knew there was even a peach blossom in that way!"
"Oh, dont pull me. What do you know..."
"O? You know him, I mean, what are you all talking about —— How do you know so much!"
"We... just friends, why are we talking about this?"
"Oh! Why are you in such a hurry... You cant be jealous, can you?"
"No!"
