Joy of Life: The Mei Family's Son Grows Up

Chapter 87 I'm Not That Stupid

Princess Roujia's face turned even redder. This was not appropriate. Looking at Mei Chengan's gentle eyes, she could not bear to refuse. Then she looked at the expectant eyes of her personal maid beside her. She knew that this girl was not easy to deal with. She was not easy to coax when she was angry.

In that case, then both of them will be fine, hehe, I am so smart.

Princess Roujia stretched out her two hands, holding one in each hand, and said, "We have both."

Mei Cheng'an curled the corners of his mouth. The girl reacted quite quickly. With her left hand, she gently held Princess Roujia's soft and boneless right hand, which was soft and a little cold.

After she landed safely, Mei Cheng'an naturally let go. Princess Roujia stood facing Mei Cheng'an, about an arm's length away from him. To be honest, this distance was a bit close.

Mei Cheng'an was half a head taller than Princess Roujia. The two of them just stared at each other, one of them slightly lowering his head and the other slightly raising his head.

Princess Roujia blushed but she rarely looked away.

Mei Cheng'an was about to say something with a smile when he noticed that an unfriendly gaze was staring at him.

Mei Cheng'an didn't even bother to frown. He tilted his head slightly and looked at the little maid behind Princess Roujia's left.

Princess Roujia also looked over there.

Mei Chengan said softly.

"They are all busy packing up and setting up the venue. Aren't you going to help?"

The maid looked at Mei Chengan with an unconvinced expression.

"I am the lady's personal maid. I have to protect her. How can I leave her without permission?"

Mei Chengan uttered a "hey".

"Don't you feel like you're redundant here? Don't you feel like there's something glowing above your head?"

The tone of his voice was particularly interesting. Although Princess Roujia didn't understand what glowing meant, it didn't stop her from laughing.

The maid rolled her eyes at Mei Cheng'an.

"I don't understand what it means to glow or not glow."

Then he looked at his young lady and hurriedly complained.

"Miss~ Look at him, not only does he make you sad, he also always wants to drive me away from you."

Princess Roujia's heart skipped a beat and she stopped smiling. She hurried to appease the little bullhorn.

"Okay, okay, Xiaotao, Xiaotao, calm down first. You see, nothing is happening over here, so why don't you go over there and help out?"

Xiaotao opened her mouth wide and looked at the young lady.

"Miss~"

Princess Roujia smiled.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

Xiao Tao pursed her lips and said "oh", then glared at Mei Cheng'an.

"Don't you dare bully my lady again!"

Mei Cheng'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time they had met officially, so where did the word "zai" come from? He sounded like a dandy playboy who did all kinds of evil things.

Xiaotao left, looking back every few steps.

Mei Cheng'an and Princess Roujia looked at each other again.

Princess Roujia smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng'an. My maid Xiaotao is a little young and I've spoiled her. She has a bad temper. I hope Brother Cheng'an will forgive me for my impoliteness."

Mei Cheng'an didn't have time to argue with a little girl. He was more curious about something else.

"She just said I made you sad. What's going on?"

Princess Roujia was stunned for a moment and her face turned red.

"No, no, Brother Cheng'an, don't listen to her nonsense. I was just moved by the story when I read the book. She misunderstood."

Mei Cheng'an nodded. Princess Roujia's words were full of loopholes, but he didn't want to dig into the matter because she obviously didn't want to talk.

"Do you like reading storybooks?"

Princess Roujia nodded.

"like."

Mei Chengan's mouth corners curled up.

"But the prince didn't seem to say that. He said you like poetry and songs."

Princess Roujia was stunned. Oh no, she had forgotten all the nonsense her father had said. Her father was really a fool to cause trouble for her.

"Well... I like poetry and songs, and I also love reading storybooks." After saying this, he blinked his big watery eyes deliberately, trying to increase his credibility.

Mei Chengan smiled.

"You have beautiful eyes."

"what?"

Princess Roujia didn't expect Mei Cheng'an to suddenly praise her. Her heart stopped beating for a moment, her face turned red, her eyes avoided, and her voice became as soft as a mosquito's.

"Brother Cheng'an's eyes are also very beautiful."

Mei Chengan smiled happily.

"I heard you, thank you, I'm very happy that you praised me."

Princess Roujia took a quick glance and couldn't take her eyes off him. She really liked seeing Mei Chengan's smile. It was so clean, so beautiful, and so contagious. As she looked at him, she couldn't help but laugh along with him.

Now it was Mei Chengan's turn to lose her composure. Her smile was too sweet. There was a shallow dimple on the right corner of her mouth. This was a real smile like a flower. She was so beautiful.

Mei Cheng'an felt his heart pounding so hard that he couldn't control the intensity. This was the legendary feeling of heartbeat. It was magical.

Gradually, he also became fascinated.

The two of them just stood on the avenue with red leaves flying all over the sky, looking at each other and smiling.

After the maids had arranged everything, they had planned to come over and inform their respective masters and young ladies, but what they saw when they got here was this incredibly beautiful scene.

The maids stopped at the same time. Even Xiaotao, who had always disliked Mei Chengan, had to admit that he and the young lady looked really good together.

Hongshu kept observing various details, trying hard to imprint the picture in front of her deeply in her mind. She planned to go back and try to draw it as a wedding gift for the young master.

……

When a red maple leaf fell from the eyes of Mei Chengan, blocking their sight, they woke up at the same time. Mei Chengan quickly grabbed the maple leaf and tore it into pieces in anger.

Princess Roujia burst out laughing when she saw Mei Chengan's childish reaction.

Mei Cheng'an tore the leaves completely subconsciously. Only after he finished tearing them did he realize that this behavior was indeed a bit childish. The corners of his mouth curled up and he just smiled quietly at Princess Roujia. He felt embarrassed to smile in front of others.

Seeing that there seemed to be a maple leaf stuck on the back of Princess Roujia's head, Mei Cheng'an moved to the side and reached out to help her take it off.

Princess Roujia was a little nervous at first, but when she saw the maple leaf in Mei Chengan's hand, she suddenly realized.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng'an."

"Help me see if there's anyone behind me."

Just as I was about to turn around, Princess Roujia moved first.

Princess Roujia obediently walked around Mei Chengan and returned to him.

"No."

Looking at her sincere eyes, Mei Chengan suddenly laughed. Isn't that how the term "silly beauty" comes about? She is a little silly, but she is just right to be a wife.

Princess Roujia was curious.

"What are you laughing at, Brother Cheng'an?"

Mei Cheng'an shook his head and pointed to the place arranged by the maids.

"Nothing, it's all set up over there, let's go sit for a while."

Princess Roujia glanced in that direction.

"it is good."

……

The two sat down face to face at the tea table.

Mei Cheng'an picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Princess Roujia.

Princess Roujia pulled Mei Chengan's sleeve with one hand and lightly touched the teacup with the other. After Mei Chengan finished pouring the tea, she thanked him softly.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng'an."

Mei Cheng'an calmly poured himself a cup, raised the cup and gestured to Princess Roujia while speaking.

"Have some tea to warm yourself up first. I noticed your hands were a little cold when I helped you get off the carriage just now."

Upon hearing this, Princess Roujia felt warm in her heart before she even drank her hot tea. Brother Cheng'an was so considerate.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea temperature was just right. Princess Roujia drank some more. After drinking the hot tea, she felt much better.

Mei Cheng'an put down the teacup and looked at Princess Roujia, thinking in his heart that there are many possible reasons for her cold hands and feet. Judging from her appearance, her face is rosy and she is energetic, so it should not be yang deficiency or insufficient qi and blood. The rest needs further confirmation.

After thinking about it, Mei Chengan spoke softly.

"I know some medical skills. If you don't mind, I can take your pulse."

Princess Roujia was a little surprised, as it seemed difficult to connect the world's most talented man with a doctor, but since Brother Cheng'an said he could do it, he would definitely do it, so she obediently stretched out her right hand and placed it on the tea table.

Mei Cheng'an looked at her and smiled.

"You didn't even ask me where I learned my medical skills. Aren't you afraid that I'm a half-baked doctor and might hurt you again?"

Princess Roujia said seriously.

"I believe in Brother Cheng'an. Since you said you would, then you will definitely do it."

Mei Chengan narrowed her eyes. These words and her big eyes were quite lethal, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"You have to take a closer look at me."

After saying that, his fingers gently placed on Princess Roujia's smooth wrist.

Well, it’s not liver qi stagnation.

"Do you have insomnia, dreaminess, dizziness, or unexplained irritability at night?"

Princess Roujia thought about it and shook her head.

Then it’s not anemia, Mei Cheng’an thought for a while and asked again.

"Night sweats or tinnitus."

Princess Roujia was puzzled.

“What does night sweats mean?”

"Once you fall asleep, you sweat a lot, but when you wake up, the sweating stops."

"Oh, that's not it."

Okay, the last one, qi deficiency, has been ruled out.

Mei Cheng'an withdrew his hand and smiled.

"You are in good health. Don't worry about your cold hands and feet. Just put on more clothes when the temperature drops."

Princess Roujia nodded solemnly.

"I see."

Mei Cheng'an found her serious look inexplicably funny.

"I took your pulse and asked you questions, but in the end I just told you to put on more clothes. Don't you think I'm a charlatan?"

Princess Roujia frowned cutely.

"How could that be? I just think Brother Cheng'an is so amazing and knows everything. Why does Brother Cheng'an always lead me to doubt you?"

Mei Chengan was a little amused and confused. He was quite thoughtful and noticed this.

"Silly girl, you trusted me too quickly. You should be on guard against others. If you trust others so easily, you will suffer a great loss if you meet someone with bad intentions."

Princess Roujia snorted.

"I'm not that stupid. I only trust Brother Cheng'an. I won't trust anyone else easily."

Mei Cheng'an was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Why do you trust me?"
