Chapter 143 - Qingzhuang, I’ve Missed You (2/2)

“Qingzhuang has been in a daze recently, and has even slimmed down a lot. In the past, she would go out every few days. But, recently she always seemed to be in a daze by herself, ignoring everyone else, and doesn’t feel like meeting anyone. She doesn’t even go out into the backyard.” Shi Dingtian sighed as he said this.

“Old Master, can I go take a look at Qingzhuang?” Qing Shui asked worriedly.

Shi Dintian frowned and hesitated as if it was something difficult!

“Don’t worry, I will only take a look and try to cheer her up!” Qing Shui saw Shi Dingtian’s hesitation and quickly made his stance.

“Alright, but if she doesn’t wish to see you then leave immediately!”

Qing Shui understood from the Old Master that Shi Qingzhuang stayed in the courtyard at the back, and was told of where she stayed. When Qing Shui headed towards the back, Shi Dingtian broked into a satisfied smile, like someone who was experienced and conniving.

It was a small distance to the courtyard at the back, and Qing Shui looked at the surrounding scenery. The most spectacular sight was still the many pavilions, which were carefully laid out, and should have been designed by someone reputable. Qing Shui knew a bit about the five elements and eight trigrams, and had some simple Feng Shui knowledge as well. These pavilions were mostly next to mountains or water, and their geographical locations were not bad.

The location of a place with excellent feng shui must have a good flow of Heavenly Qi birthed by mountains and rivers. Mountains stores wind, and would provide an auspicious location for the receival of Qi, both naturally and actively. On the other hand, water maintained vitality. While these were all artificial mountains and water, the theory still worked!

The courtyard at the back was very spacious, with a small garden which had a few purple maple trees. A few crimson red leaves drifted down when the wind blew. It was already in late autumn, but there were still many trees which were still exuberant and flourishing!

A lean and slender figure dressed in crimson clothing which was woven with feathers and long hair covering her shoulders stood underneath one of the purple maple trees. The scene had a lonely feeling, but yet it seemed to blend in well with the surroundings; a harmonized yet lonely scene.

A back view… an extremely beautiful back view… but a lonely back view. Qing Shui could tell at one glance that it was Shi Qingzhuang. But, when he saw her back view which had such a strong sense of loneliness that it seeped into one’s bones, Qing Shui’s heart ached for her. Even if it were another man in his shoes, he would probably feel exactly the same. Not only those who had a physical relationship would feel the heartache. Merely looking at that desolate back view would cause one’s heart to ache.

As if she had heard the sound of footsteps, Shi Qingzhuang slowly turned around. The cool and beautiful face entered Qing Shui’s vision, remaining as cool and beautiful as ever, and as elegant as before. That coolness of the beauty coupled with the crimson-feathered clothes presented a deadly enchantment.

Seeing Qing Shui, a tinge of surprise flashed past her cool countenance. “Qing Shui?”

When Qing Shui heard the doubtful tone, he was almost knocked off his feet. Were it not that he knew from the previous event that it was her first time, he would really hold some suspicion about what kind of woman she was. He had taken her first time. Could she not recognize him when it had not even been half a year yet?

He recalled the few encounters which they had previously. While she was cool, she was not hard to get along with. Her occasional smile was also an overwhelming beauty of a generation!

“Mmm, the name seems right. Have you been fine?” Qing Shui felt bitter. The feeling of such a setback was really not fantastic.

“I’m alright. Why are you here? To look for me?” Shi Qingzhuang’s expression faltered a little after seeing Qing Shui. This made Qing Shui feel a bit better, since it showed that she still remembered him.

“That’s right. I just met your granddad, and came to take a look for you with his consent!”

“Ahh!” Shi Qingzhuang had a slight shock.

“Qingzhuang, I’ve missed you!” Qing Shui said softly.

“Ahh, don’t say it!” Shi Qingzhuang’s gaze turned away slightly in a panic as she spoke.

Qing Shui saw that other than panic, there were still many other elements in Shi Qingzhuang’s gaze. Could it be that this lass has some other predicaments or difficulties?

“I came for a marriage proposal today!”
