Chapter 25: The Young Man of Middle Italy

  Wei Luo's heart tightened.

  At this time, Cheng Xi smiled and said: "Ashamed? Ha! Little ones are usually cold-hearted and expressionless, it's rare to see them blush, I want to take a look!" After speaking, he took two steps closer to the carriage.

  Wei Luo's face turned as white as paper.

  She forcibly pressed down her wildly beating heart and took a deep breath before opening her mouth to say, "However, I'm in the bath!"

  Wei Luo's voice turned cold as he said indifferently: "You are a dignified husband, please wait fifty meters away."

  Wei Luo said this with a cold voice and a calm tone, but her heart was hanging in her mouth. As she spoke, she quickly put on her hemp clothes at the fastest speed.

  She had only taken off one sleeve of her gown, but just like that, on such a dark and gloomy night, trying to put it back on was not easy. This was already the second time she got her elbow stuck in the sleeve, unable to move forward or backward.

  As Wei Luo's voice fell, the outside became quiet for a moment. Suddenly, Cheng Xi laughed with a surprised and delighted tone, "Taking a bath?" He swallowed his saliva and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Good! Very good! Earlier I was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and your face kept appearing before my eyes. Ah, what great fortune, I came here impulsively and actually get to see your tender and delicate body. Don't put on clothes yet, let me take a look first!"

  He spoke with such a matter-of-fact tone and in such a loud voice. This little black kid, doesn't he know that one should not gaze at or approach someone improperly? Isn't Gao Yi supposed to be a dignified husband? What kind of husband is this?

  Wei Luo was furious to the extreme and completely forgot those words "do not look at what is impolite", this era had not yet appeared.

  The footsteps "tap tap tap" approached cheerfully, and before long, they arrived at the carriage curtain. Then, a large hand slapped onto the carriage curtain with a swoosh!

  Right at this moment!

  A loud whooshing sound burst forth! As soon as Cheng Xi's hand touched the hemp curtain of the carriage, a fierce gust of wind rushed before his eyes. The wind was cold and menacing, with a killing aura that shot straight at his eyes!

  What a fierce sword move!

  This was far beyond Cheng Xi's expectations. He opened his eyes wide, stopped in his tracks, and threw his head back!

  His head had just dodged, and the sword was withdrawn like lightning. In an instant, the cold wind came again, but it was stabbing at his wrist, which was pressed against the carriage curtain! The sword wind was fierce, and the chill was overwhelming. If this sword were to actually hit its mark, his wrist would be unable to move for several days.

  Cheng Yi suddenly stopped and quickly withdrew his hand. However, as soon as he did, the third sword came again, this time aiming straight for his chest.

  At this moment, Cheng Yi lost his balance. His head tilted back again and his body flipped over in mid-air, doing two consecutive backward somersaults before he landed steadily on the ground, now ten meters away from Wei Luo.

  Wei Luo let out a light breath and placed the wooden sword to one side, quickly pulling her left hand that was stuck in her sleeve back out, this time successfully putting on her clothes.

  But this was only the first step, her hands and neck had just been washed clean by the water, revealing a fair complexion, she had to take out the disguise medicine from the corner of the carriage and apply it again.

  Wei Luo took a step back, his hand reaching for the ceramic bowl when Cheng Xi suddenly let out a loud "huff" and pounced towards him again. As he pounced, he shouted in surprise: "You little kid, you actually know swordsmanship?"

  Just as he was about to pounce, Wei Luo's voice rose, and she shouted angrily: "Cheng Xi! Do you dare come again?"

  "Ha! What's there to be afraid of? I've been thinking about you, wanting to hold you in my arms and spend an eternal night with you - it's the natural order of things!"

  He even said it's a matter of course!

  Wei Luo's anger had reached its peak, she finally touched the ceramic bowl and brought it in front of her. She continued to shout sternly: "If we both agree, then it is a match made in heaven. You know I don't want to, yet you sneak in at night. You, quickly leave! Otherwise, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

  Wei Luo's angry and exasperated cry had barely fallen when Cheng Yi outside burst into loud laughter.

  He laughed and suddenly raised his voice, shouting loudly to shatter the night sky, "Everyone, everyone wake up quickly! I want to be on good terms with Wei Luo's child, but he is not pleased. Now the two of us are making a bet, if his swordsmanship wins against mine, I will immediately retreat and from now on never bother him again. If he cannot defeat me, then he will give his body to me, we will sleep and eat together, and be happy every day!"

  This is night! This is the deep stillness of the third watch!

  The quarrel between Cheng Xi and Wei Luo was already not small, and it had startled many people. With this loud shout from Cheng Xi, the crowd in the carriage team was completely awakened. Only to see the scattered torches lit up one after another, and in a twinkling of an eye, a piece of light was lit up. Only to see the crowd surging, and the laughter broke the silence of the night.

  Wei Luo was so angry that she was at a loss for words.

  Cheng Yi's words were clearly absurd and nonsensical, but at this moment, Wei Luo didn't have the energy to argue with him. She was busy reapplying black dye to her hands and neck as quickly as possible.

  When she was confident that all the places she needed to apply were fully applied, Wei Luo lowered her head again and tidied up her hair, also tying it back.

  When she had done all this, the torches outside were already shining brightly. Wei Luo sat in the carriage and could see that the outside was illuminated by the torches, with the sky and earth all red. The sound of laughter and teasing came one after another, "Disturbing people's good dreams at midnight, Cheng Yu is really annoying!"

  "Good heavens! Aren't you a young master living in luxury within the city walls?"

  "Which good son makes you so excited?"

  "Good! Very good! The long night of suffering has no end!"

  "Come out quickly, little one, and let me take a look!"

  "Isn't that the little boy from the day before yesterday?"

  In the midst of the noisy and quarrelsome voices, Wei Luo adjusted her clothes and took a deep breath. Just as she was about to get off the carriage, Cheng Xi suddenly chuckled and said: "The one I fancy is that little thing called Wei Luo. The other day, I asked him to be good, but he refused me. Grandfather's, these few nights, I couldn't sleep at night, and every time I closed my eyes, his voice and appearance would appear before my eyes. Heh heh, a great man does things decisively, tonight I must hold him in my arms and make it happen!"

  Cheng Yi's voice was loud and clear, and all those who were still in the convoy came out. Everyone heard his declaration and couldn't help but feel excited. This was originally an era that indulged in emotions, without the constraints of reason or moral teachings, and was most tolerant of romantic love. Even Confucius himself seemed to have been born out of wedlock, as if he were the product of a wild affair between his mother and another man.

  So as soon as Cheng Xi made this declaration, the crowd of onlookers burst into cheers. Wei Luo lifted up the carriage curtains and heard hundreds of people shouting wildly: "Good! Great!"

  Amidst the loud cheers, Cheng Xi burst out laughing.

  Her hand on the carriage curtain, Wei Luo's fingers trembled involuntarily. Her pale face turned red again as her heart, which had just calmed down, began racing anxiously once more. She pursed her lips tightly and ground her teeth in hatred, silently cursing: "This damned Cheng Yu! How dare he speak so matter-of-factly?! Good heavens, what's to be done now? No, I must calm down, I absolutely must calm down." After taking a deep breath, she felt herself calming down again. With a flick of her wrist, the carriage curtain opened and she jumped out of the carriage.
