Chapter 149 First Encounter and Rejection

Sixth Wei was a little bit lively. Most of his classmates who were friends with him were also lively youths. Normally, they wouldn’t hang out with Fourth Wei, who was quite old-fashioned and academic. Seeing that Sixth Wei brought him, everyone was stunned at first. Soon, they returned to normal and happily set off.

After the several youths arrived at Thousand Lotus Lake, Fourth Wei felt that he wasn’t on the same vibe as Sixth Wei's classmates. After giving a head up to Sixth Wei, he walked to the other side of Thousand Lotus Lake alone.

"Sixth Wei, why did you bring your fourth elder brother here?" After watching Fourth Wei leave, the group of youths who usually don't like to study were all deeply relieved: "I always feel that the mountain isn’t tall in front of your fourth elder brother and my hair stands on ends again and again!"

"Me too!" It seemed that there was more than one person who felt the same way.

Sixth Wei was a little bit dumbfounded: "So unpromising. My fourth elder brother is just a bit pedantic. Look how scared you are!"

When the group of young people heard what he said, they all laughed and started being rowdy. Fourth Wei, who walked away alone, naturally didn't know what they were talking about behind his back.

June weather was like a baby face, it can change in an instant. One moment, the sky was still clear, the next, it was pouring rain.

Fourth Wei didn't expect it to rain suddenly. Currently, it was a little far away from the pavilion. The nearest shelter was only a row of blue brick and tile houses by the Thousand Lotus Lake. So he had to shield the rain with his hands and stepped up his pace to run to the row of blue brick and tile houses to take shelter from the heavy rain.

However, the rain was too heavy. When Fourth Wei hid under the eaves, his green robe was already more than half wet. Looking helplessly at the gloomy sky covering the vast land and the rain that seemed endless at a glance, Fourth Wei sighed heavily: "Could it be that it's really an unlucky year?"

Amidst the heavy rain, a figure suddenly appeared. A girl in a lotus-green narrow-sleeved ruskirt was holding a few lotus flowers and lotus pods in her arms. In her left hand, she held a large lotus leaf over her head to shield herself from the rain. She briskly walked over to the blue brick house where he was.

"Fourth Miss!" At this time, the wooden door of the blue brick and tile house opened with a squeak. A woman with an oil-paper umbrella came out from inside, walked up to meet her, and then used the umbrella to protect the girl from the rain: "Old servant came over as soon as I saw the sky had changed. Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, Attendant. I have this!" The girl shook the lotus leaf she was still holding in her left hand and smiling brightly. So bright and moving as a lotus celestial fairy in the rain.

The attendant noticed that the corners of her skirt were a little wet and breathed a sigh of relief: "This old servant got someone to cook ginger soup. Miss, go change into dry clothes in a while and drink some ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

The master and servant chatted. Holding an umbrella, they slowly entered the blue brick house. It seemed that no one paid attention to Fourth Wei who was standing on the porch to avoid the rain. It wasn't until the wooden door closed again with a squeak that Fourth Wei recovered from his astonishment.

He idly stood under the eaves watching the bean-sized raindrops slamming into the lotus pond not far away. The distance and nearby were quiet. Only the noisy sound of rain covered up the hustle and bustle of time.

"This gentleman, the humble house had prepared some ginger soup. Please use some if you don't mind." The wooden door opened again with a squeak. The attendant who had just come out earlier was holding an umbrella in one hand and a bowl of hot ginger soup in the other.
