Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 63: I Want to See Her (3)

The lake was not big, but it had a good view.

On both sides of the lake was a forest of maple trees. The maple leaves in November had turned red. As the wind blew, the leaves beautifully touched the ground.

Spirit Lake was a place netizens all over the country chose as a top ten romantic place because of the classic beauty of “autumn leaves.”

Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng walked behind the group. Qiao Jiusheng looked at Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin, who were walking in front of her, and her lips curled into a mocking smile. She recalled that when she had just fallen in love, Fang Mu had once brought her to Spirit Lake to admire the maple leaves. At that time, she had thought that they would be together forever.

In the end…

To hell with eternity!

“Brother Mu, do you still remember our first time here?”

She could hear Qiao Jiuyin’s hypocritical voice ahead of her.

Qiao Jiusheng looked up and saw Fang Mu taking off the maple leaf on Qiao Jiusheng’s head. She heard him say, “When we came here, you were just 18. Now…” He placed his hand on Qiao Jiuyin’s abdomen, and a hint of gentleness appeared in his cold eyebrows. “Two people have become four.”

“Yes.” Qiao Jiuyin tiptoed and kissed Fang Mu’s forehead. With a face full of happiness, she said, “I feel so happy having you and the babies.”

Fang Mu did not say anything and just hugged her.

Qiao Jiusheng silently watched the scene, feeling uncomfortable.

Beside her, Fang Yusheng also heard Qiao Jiuyin and Fang Mu’s conversation. All his thoughts were focused on Fang Mu’s sentence—

‘You were just eighteen when we came here.’

He felt a little upset.

Fang Mu, this bastard!

Ji Qing had been paying attention to the commotion behind her. When she turned around and saw Qiao Jiusheng’s gaze on Fang Mu and Qiao Jiuyin, she was surprised.

“Qingqing, what are you looking at?” The puzzled Qiao Sen looked at his wife.

Ji Qing said, “The scenery is quite beautiful.”

“Yes, it is.”

The group would reach Spirit Lake after passing through a small road in the maple forest. The road was five to six hundred meters long. Even though the weather was a little cold, the road was still unable to withstand the footsteps of tourists from all over the world. The small road was only three meters wide and filled with people.

Qiao Jiusheng was worried that the crowd would disturb Fang Yusheng, so she boldly grabbed his wrist.

Fang Yusheng held his cane in his left hand, so Qiao Jiusheng could only hold his right hand.

“Follow closely. There are many people, so we could easily bump into them.”

“Okay.”

As he followed Qiao Jiusheng’s footsteps, Fang Yusheng was very happy.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

A maple leaf fell from the sky and brushed past Fang Yusheng’s nose.

Thinking of something, Fang Yusheng suddenly stopped in his tracks and shouted at the front, “Ah Sheng.”

Qiao Jiusheng stopped and turned around.

“Yeah?”

The blood-red maple leaves fell, and the tall man walked through the maple forest, taking a step toward her.

Pa!

Fang Yusheng threw away his black cane.

His left hand slowly stretched toward Qiao Jiusheng and landed on her shoulder.

Qiao Jiusheng confusedly looked at Fang Yusheng, who raised his left hand and placed it beside her cheek.

“What—”

Before Qiao Jiusheng could finish speaking, her forehead suddenly moistened.

Her eyes widened.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at the handsome face close to her in shock as her mind burned.

Before his parents got divorced, Fang Yusheng had been studying at a primary school in the country. At that time, he had heard something from the older girls at the school.

When the maple leaves on the spirit lake wither, the person you will kiss will be the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life.

Fang Yusheng had taken ten years to kiss her.

“W-What are you doing?!” Qiao Jiusheng’s body stiffened as she awkwardly asked him.

Qiao Jiuyin and Fang Mu were watching from ahead. Qiao Jiusheng had to stay calm and not panic.

Fang Yusheng’s lips parted from Qiao Jiusheng’s forehead. He smiled, and his appearance became even more beautiful. His beauty made the beautiful scenery of the Spirit Lake pale in comparison.

He said, “You’re so much shorter than me.”

Qiao Jiusheng was speechless.

He took advantage of me just to measure my height!

“By the way, are you 1.65 meters tall?”

Qiao Jiusheng kicked him and fiercely said, “I’ve really disappointed you. I’m 1.67 meters tall!”

Fang Yusheng chuckled and said, “Not bad.”

The interaction between the two of them became flirting in the eyes of the four people ahead of them.

Wooden cruise boats were placed by the lake. To protect the ecology around the lake, the wooden boats did not have a motor. One had to manually row them. The group of six booked a medium-sized wooden boat and sat down. Ji Qing took the place beside Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng suddenly felt nervous.

She had long guessed that Ji Qing had not asked her out for a simple trip.

“Do you want a honey pomelo?” Ji Qing handed her a piece of honey pomelo.

Qiao Jiusheng stared at the honey pomelo, and many thoughts instantly ran through her mind. A total of six people were on this ship. Ji Qing was very close to Qiao Jiusheng, and naturally, she understood that Qiao Jiusheng liked honey pomelo the most. However, the current Qiao Jiusheng was not ‘Qiao Jiusheng,’ but Qi Yunsheng. Qiao Jiuyin was ‘Qiao Jiusheng’ instead.

She took out the honey pomelo and asked me instead of asking others if they wanted to eat it…

Did Sister-in-law Ji Qing discover something?

Psychiatrists are really scary.

Qiao Jiusheng gently smiled at Ji Qing and said, “Thank you, Sister-in-law, but I don’t like honey pomelo. I like dates.” With that, Qiao Jiusheng picked up a date and took a bite.

Ji Qing’s eyes flashed.

She loves to eat winter dates.

“Look at me! My Xiao Sheng likes honey pomelo, so I always think that others like it too,” saying that, Ji Qing handed a honey pomelo to Qiao Jiuyin, who was opposite her.

Qiao Jiuyin took it, thanked her, and slowly ate.

Just as Qiao Jiusheng swallowed the dates, she heard Ji Qing ask, “Where is your parental home, Ah Sheng?”

Qiao Jiusheng had long memorized Qi Yunsheng’s information. So when she heard this question, she quickly said, “I came from a small county city. You probably wouldn’t know if I told you. Its name is Ping An County.”

Ji Qing said, “Really? Ping An County in Zhongrong City?”

Qiao Jiusheng’s heart rang with alarm.

Oh no! Ji Qing actually knows about this small county.

“Yes,” she answered, bracing herself.

Ji Qing continued, “When I was studying, I was fortunate enough to go to Ping An County once. I remember that, that place has special customs. For example, marriage. It’s said that the first time the man goes to the woman’s house, he has to carry wine and glutinous rice. Another example is that the newly married wife can’t wash her face for the first three days. They are all very interesting.”

Qiao Jiusheng did not know if it was interesting, but she knew that she was a little confused.
