Our Lady's Transfiguration · Face Slap I

Chapter 21: Doubt

A boat full of night light spreads ten miles of lake light.

The blue waves of Chunpu Lake were rippling, Chu Xingfan and the others took a wooden boat, shuttling among the boats, and heard various musical instruments and beautiful singing from time to time.

At this time, Long Piaopiao was wearing a tight-fitting tunic, which was a little less dignified, but a little more free and easy.While introducing the beauty of Chunpu Lake to everyone with a smile, she secretly observed Chu Xingfan.

"Brother Chu, what are you thinking?" Long Piaopiao clearly sensed that Chu Xingfan was absent-minded.

Chu Xingfan was slightly taken aback, shook his head and said with a smile: "Piao Piao doesn't know something, but we have encountered a difficult thing along the way."

Chu Xingfan told Long Piaopiao one by one from the extermination of Li's family to what they encountered in Zhou's Villa, and finally said: "Because of this, I am a little worried about Qiu Ran, those people obviously want to kill him."

Long Piaopiao's face also became a little dignified. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then she came up with her own conclusion: "From what Brother Chu said, the Li family is definitely not an ordinary merchant. They should have something secret behind them. As for Li Qiuran, it should be We have some important information."

Chu Xingfan didn't know why, and subconsciously retorted: "What Piao Piao said is exactly what I thought, but Qiu Ran should be fine. He is just the adopted son of the Li family, and he doesn't know much about the Li family's extermination."

Long Piaopiao looked at Chu Xingfan in surprise, "Brother Chu trusts Li Qiuran very much! But, if he doesn't know anything, why does the other party want to kill him? Even Brother Chu, you guys don't hesitate to offend him?"

This is exactly where Chu Xingfan was puzzled, but he still said very firmly: "I can't figure this out, maybe they are just in case."

Long Piaopiao frowned slightly, Chu Xingfan's certainty made her a little puzzled.Based on what she knew about Chu Xingfan, Chu Xingfan shouldn't be so arbitrary. Could there be something hidden?

"Li Qiuran has a problem." At this moment, Feng Chengyun, who had always been quiet, spoke up.

Chu Xingfan was a little surprised, "Oh? What did Cheng Yun discover?"

Long Piaopiao was also a little surprised, she knew that Feng Chengyun seldom said anything he was not sure about.However, Feng Chengyun is so sure, it stands to reason that Chu Xingfan should not have discovered anything, right?

Thinking of this, she somehow felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

"What are you talking about? My cousin is just an ordinary person who only reads the books of sages. What's wrong with him! Don't talk nonsense, please!" At this time, Zhou Yingqi, who was sitting in the stern, was very dissatisfied.

"Hmph! Of course he has a problem, and it's a big problem! I think not only he has a problem, but your Zhou family also has a problem!" Duan Sizhe has been dissatisfied with Gong Xiaolou for a long time, and because Chu Xingfan almost had an accident at Zhou's house, he has a problem with Zhou. The family also had a lot of resentment, and this time it added fuel to the fire.

"Fart! I think you have the problem!" Zhou Yingqi was furious instantly.

"Okay!" Chu Xingfan interrupted their argument a little irritably.

He said with a little seriousness: "I still trust Qiu Ran very much all the way. But Cheng Yun is not a nonsense person, have you found anything?"

Feng Chengyun ignored Zhou Yingqi's dissatisfaction at all, turned his head to Chu Xingfan, and said coldly: "If my prediction is correct, Li Qiuran's goal should be you!"

Chu Xingfan was a little surprised, his heart beat faster, "Get close to me? What are you doing close to me?"

Feng Chengyun continued: "I don't know his specific purpose, but he looked at you a little... Especially after the accident last time, he looked at you very enthusiastically, even with a hint of urgency?"

Speaking of this, Feng Chengyun was a little uncertain.

Long Piaopiao grasped the crux of the problem, and she immediately asked Chu Xingfan, "Brother Chu, what happened to you at that time?"

When Chu Xingfan heard Long Piaopiao's question, and recalled all the things under the Huangdujiang Waterfall, his face became a little tangled.

Speaking of the abnormality of Gong Xiaolou, all the things underwater at that time were undoubtedly very wrong.

But, how did Chu Xingfan say this?

Said he was molested by Gong Xiaolou?Even being distracted by Gong Xiaolou and nearly dying?

Long Piaopiao was very careful, and instantly noticed Chu Xingfan's change, and immediately asked, "Brother Chu, what do you remember?"

"Eh?" Chu Xingfan touched his nose in embarrassment, and said in a little panic, "No, it's nothing."

In fact, Gong Xiaolou was undoubtedly very wrong about what happened that day, but Chu Xingfan subconsciously ignored it, or didn't dare to delve into it.

That soul-stirring memory, like Pandora's box, was deeply hidden in a corner of Chu Xingfan's heart, and he didn't dare to open it easily.

Chu Xingfan had an inexplicable premonition that if he got to the bottom of it, not only Gong Xiaolou, but even himself might fall into a certain situation... forever.

But in the face of everyone's questioning and speculation, he had no choice but to recall.

In fact, it's not just underwater, but there are also big problems in the palace and small buildings in the cave.

For some reason, Chu Xingfan remembered that slap again, and subconsciously touched the left side of his cheek.

That slap made him feel loud and wronged, Chu Xingfan showed a helpless and indulgent smile on his face.

However, these clearly indicated that Gong Xiaolou had a problem, but he felt a little itchy in his heart.

Everyone in Long Piaopiao looked at Chu Xingfan inexplicably. Chu Xingfan reacted instantly and coughed in embarrassment.

Long Piaopiao was paying attention to Chu Xingfan all the time. She obviously felt that something was wrong with Chu Xingfan. She said suspiciously, "Brother Chu? What are you thinking?"

Chu Xingfan came back to his senses, "Well, I thought of some problems. Well, when I was in Qiusha Town, I tried to contact Cheng Yun and the others, but when I returned to the inn, I didn't see Qiu Ran. It's just that I haven't had time yet. Look for it, and he will come back."

Long Piaopiao frowned slightly, she vaguely felt that Chu Xingfan was hiding something, "Oh? So, there should be something wrong with this Li Qiuran."

Chu Xingfan hurriedly said, "It's not necessarily true. I'll ask Qiu Ran when I get back."

Zhou Yingqi looked at the crowd with some depression, he firmly believed that his cousin was fine, especially last time Gong Xiaolou sacrificed his life to save him, but he couldn't think of words to veto the crowd, so he could only sulk silently in his heart.

Having said that, everyone didn't want to swim in the lake to enjoy the scenery, so they rowed their wooden boats to Xingyue Pavilion.

During this period, Long Piaopiao has been silently watching Chu Xingfan...
