Chapter 574 Bet (2)
Bai Yichen thought it was not safe enough and insisted on pressing his fingerprints.
Ji Xiaowu just followed his lead and pressed the button.
"Hahahahaha!" Bai Yichen got his own betting contract in duplicate and started to get excited. "I'll make arrangements. Wait and see tomorrow! I definitely won't let them miss it! They must all arrive on time!"
Bai Yichen ran away after saying this.
He didn't notice that Mr. Hu behind him was looking at his back with pitying eyes as he left, and sighed softly.
"Mr. Hu also thinks it's impossible?" Mother Ji asked with a smile.
"No, no, no, I stand on the side of Madam unconditionally!" Mr. Hu quickly shook his head to make his position clear.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the outcome of this bet between these two people was doomed from the beginning.
Only that silly boy Bai Yichen thinks he is sure to win.
After seeing off Mr. Hu, Aunt Ji took Fang Chen to the top floor, where she had reserved a room for herself from which she could see the stars in the night sky from the window.
Fang Chen brought Ji Xiaou to the roof and protected her while she lay on the tiles. Ji Xiaou leaned in Fang Chen's arms, listening to his heartbeat and looking at the starry sky under the moonlight.
"It's so beautiful." It's not like Ji Xiaowu had never seen the starry sky before. In her previous life, her favorite thing to do was to lie on the windowsill of the room and look at the starry sky outside.
I just feel a little lonely. Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, I feel lost.
Now here, she met Fang Chen. From then on, she was no longer lonely when looking at the starry sky. She finally realized that the brilliant starry sky that people talked about was not referring to an object, but the person who was beside her to watch the stars with her.
The sky is dotted with stars, but in my eyes, only you are dazzling.
Fang Chen held Ji Xiaomu in his arms, and his mood was the same as Ji Xiaomu's. Looking at the starry sky, he only felt it was boring before, nothing special. But now with her by his side, he understood that those customs that he once disdained were only because she was not by his side.
"I have seen all the mountains and rivers, and my heart was calm." Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu in his arms and said slowly.
When Ji Xiaomu heard Fang Chen's words, she raised her head and looked at him, listening silently.
"I have fought all over the country and visited every city. No matter how beautiful the scenery is along the way... to me, it makes no difference." Fang Chen said, "I used to not understand what those so-called literati and scholars talked about every day, what kind of scenery, what kind of feelings, what kind of heart..."
“I just think they are particularly delicate.”
Ji Xiaowu couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Jiaoqing... If they knew that the general they praise every day commented on them like this, would they cry?"
"I don't care whether they cry or not, they can only talk big. If we really ask them to stand up and defend the country, they are as cowardly as quail eggs." Fang Chen rolled his eyes when he thought of those people. They complained about him to the emperor every day, saying that his achievements were too great, that he monopolized the military power, and that he despised the ministers. Anyway, there was always something to complain about him.
"But they are right about one thing." Fang Chen said with a smile.
"What?" Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen curiously.
"They say that people like me don't know what it means to be under the moonlight and flowers." Fang Chen said, "That was true before I met you."
Ji Xiaomu thought of the first time she met Fang Chen, and nodded vigorously with a smile. "Yes, yes, yes, you really don't know. At that time, I told you about the romantic scene, and you told me that you wanted to have two children in the future..."
