Chapter 647 - Chapter 647: Chapter 634 Innocence (1/2)

chapter 647: chapter 634 innocence

isn’t it naive?

chu jinzhou glanced at banqing and blinked.

he would have dared to say that chu jinnian would surely visit him first when he returned in the past.

but now…

he still had self-awareness.

since banqing overlooked this, chu jinzhou did not deliberately elaborate. he just said, “i also wish to see my elder brother sooner.”

banqing nodded in agreement.

for chu jinzhou, in the entire family, only chu jinnian treated him the best, and he naturally considered chu jinnian as his only family.

chu jinnian had been in the capital city for months. it was only natural for chu jinzhou to long for him.

so banqing chose not to persuade him any further and waited with chu jinzhou.

they kept waiting, from dawn till noon.

when they were both hungry as if their stomachs were beating drums, they faintly heard the sound of hoofbeats from a distance.

then they saw two large horses approaching from afar, and they gradually made out the figures of the riders.

it was none other than chu jinnian and jing zhao.

“it’s my elder brother,” chu jinzhou stood in the carriage, waving excitedly at chu jinnian. “elder brother, i am here…”

just as his voice dropped, they heard a horse neigh. jing zhao’s horse stopped in front of chu jinzhou, while chu jinnian’s horse did not slow down at all. instead, it moved faster and swept past chu jinzhou like the wind.

leaving only an afterimage.

chu jinzhou closed his mouth, watched chu jinnian and his horse disappear from his sight, sighed helplessly, and then looked at banqing bleakly.

see, what did he say?

he had said long ago that his brother had always been single-minded. his focus used to be on him, but now it has shifted to someone else.

banqing touched his nose and avoided chu jinzhou’s gaze. he looked at jing zhao instead, trying to break the awkward silence. “brother jing zhao is back…”

“yeah.” jing zhao also looked somewhat awkward, and he forced a smile on his face. “third young master, the elder master said he had something to attend to, so he asked me to send you back first.”

“all right then.” chu jinzhou nodded. “it’s good enough that my elder brother returned safely.”

with chu jinnian back, there would inevitably be more interactions between qingzhuyuan and zhuang qingning. wouldn’t that mean more chances to eat good food?

thinking of this, chu jinzhou broke into a grin, revealing a row of white teeth. “let’s go, let’s go back to qingzhuyuan.”

“yes.” jing zhao and banqing exchanged glances, touched their ears, and escorted chu jinzhou back to qingzhuyuan.

meanwhile, chu jinnian hurried to zhuang qingning’s house.

as he got off his horse and reached the entrance, he paused before knocking on the door.

it was about lunchtime, and he wondered whether zhuang qingning might be taking a siesta or perhaps she might not be home at all?

just as chu jinnian was hesitating, the door was suddenly pulled open, revealing zhuang qingning’s extraordinary beauty.

zhuang qingning was a little stunned when she saw chu jinnian standing in front of her. then she couldn’t help but grin. “i knew it would be you.”
