Chapter 203: Unexpected News, Honest Nansun
After eating at the restaurant, Jiang Nansun was about to go to the B&B she had found. She was full of expectations and felt that she would definitely get what she wanted there.
"Nansun, look, there's a wood carving workshop here. Let's go in and take a look." Zhu Suosuo instantly became interested and excitedly pulled her best friend inside.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Xie Zhiyao who had just finished chatting.
Zhu Suosuo exclaimed in surprise, "It's you..."
"Are you here to play?" Xie Zhiyao asked curiously, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Zhu Suosuo immediately smiled and said, "It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but now it's found without any effort. We came here to find your grandma." Her face was filled with smiles and her eyes were shining.
"Looking for my grandma? Or is it because of that matter?" Xie Zhiyao frowned slightly and asked curiously.
Zhu Suosuo nodded and explained seriously, "That Nansun went back and asked her grandmother, and she heard that her great-grandfather had an older brother who might have fled here, so she wanted to confirm it."
"Wait a minute." Xie Zhiyao waved his hands quickly, sorted out his thoughts with a puzzled look on his face, and asked with some surprise, "So, Miss Jiang, your grandmother is suspected to be related to my grandmother?"
Jiang Nansun was speechless. She could only bite the bullet and repeat the lie she had made up. As she spoke, her face couldn't help but turn red.
Xie Zhiyao was not sure what was going on for a moment, so he scratched his head and said, "Then I'll call my grandma and ask her. I can't figure out the affairs of the older generation either."
"Okay." Jiang Nansun prayed silently in her heart, please don't let it happen by chance, please don't let it happen by chance. She clasped her hands tightly together, looking a little nervous.
Fortunately, her luck changed. After Xie Zhiyao called and asked, she confirmed that her grandmother's family was native to Yunnan.
"It seems I have to disappoint you two." Xie Zhiyao said apologetically.
Jiang Nansun waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you for your help." She had a polite smile on her face and a hint of relaxation in her eyes.
"By the way, since you two are in the village, why not take a look around? There are still many interesting places in the village." Xie Zhiyao pointed to the wood carving workshop behind him and enthusiastically promoted it. "Master Xie here is a state-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor. His wood carving skills are quite good. You can go in and take a look."
"The restaurant's specialties are pretty good too, you guys can try them." Xie Zhiyao said sincerely.
Zhu Suosuo quickly interrupted Xie Zhiyao and said with a smile: "We just came out of the restaurant, it's really good..."
"Ms. Huai Lan from the embroidery workshop over there is also a continent-level inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. Many people who come here to visit want to check in. There are also many handicrafts. You can go and have a look. You can try the tie-dye room. It's quite fun to dye the cloth by yourself." Xie Zhiyao introduced incessantly.
"That handsome guy, are you the tour guide in the village?" Zhu Suosuo joked with a smile, her eyes full of laughter.
Xie Zhiyao touched his nose awkwardly and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'm used to it..."
"I see there is a homestay here. I wonder if there are any rooms available?" Jiang Nansun asked expectantly.
Xie Zhiyao shook his head and said helplessly: "This one is really gone. There are only six rooms in the courtyard, and they are all full now."
"Um, do Brother Chen and Miss Xu also live in the courtyard?" Jiang Nansun asked carefully, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Xie Zhiyao glanced at Jiang Nansun strangely and asked doubtfully, "Are you looking for Xiao Chen?"
"Just take a look..." Jiang Nansun smiled awkwardly, her eyes a little evasive.
Seeing Jiang Nansun's expression, Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but guess in his heart that there was something wrong, but he didn't ask more questions. Instead, he pointed and smiled, "Go this way, turn left and go straight, turn right at the first intersection, and you will see it in about a few dozen meters. As for whether Xiao Chen is in the courtyard, I don't know."
"Thank you." After expressing their gratitude, Jiang Nansun and the other two walked into the wood carving workshop.
Zhu Suosuo had just reacted when she heard her bestie's words. She couldn't help but feel a little helpless. This woman with amorous feelings was really a little scary. Even a young lady who didn't care about worldly things was chasing her husband to this extent? She shook her head helplessly.
Walking into the woodcarving workshop, Zhu Suosuo was immediately interested in the various exquisite carvings, and her eyes were fixed on them. However, Jiang Nansun had something else in her mind, so she didn't react to any of this, and just followed absentmindedly.
Seeing the two of them, Yingzi stepped forward and said, "Please take a look around, ladies. Everything here is handmade, and many of them are carved by the village masters..."
"Beauty, we can just take a look at it ourselves. We'll call you if anything is needed." Seeing her best friend's look, Zhu Suosuo smiled apologetically at Yingzi helplessly.
"It's okay. Call me anytime if you need me." Yingzi was used to these things. She smiled and walked over to sit down.
Zhu Suosuo asked helplessly, "Nansun, let's just take a walk. I'll accompany you to the courtyard to find your brother Chen later, okay?"
Jiang Nansun couldn't help blushing when her secret was exposed. She rolled her eyes at her bestie and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not in a hurry..."
"Yes, yes, yes, how could our Princess Jiang be anxious? It's me who is anxious to meet handsome Chen, okay?" Zhu Suosuo teased with a sly smile on her face.
Jiang Nansun: "You are the only one who talks too much."
Yingzi, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard their conversation.
"Beauty, you guys..."
Before Yingzi could finish her words, Zhu Suosuo interrupted and said, "Let's take a look at it ourselves..."
Yingzi quickly shook her head and said anxiously, "Beauty, you misunderstood. I just heard you talking about the handsome Chen from the restaurant. Are you friends with him?"
"You know Brother Chen?" Jiang Nansun was a little surprised, her eyes wide open.
Yingzi smiled and said, "Of course, Brother Chen is not only handsome, but also very good at talking..."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo came out of the wood carving workshop with strange expressions.
"Nansun, where are you going?" Zhu Suosuo saw her best friend was about to go to the restaurant and hurried to stop her.
Jiang Nansun looked unhappy, "I'm going to ask clearly, if it's really as Yingzi said, such a petty-minded woman is not suitable for Brother Chen."
Zhu Suosuo was speechless about her best friend's straightforward temper, but she couldn't help but worry. Her best friend had never been in a relationship and didn't know that once one of the two parties took the initiative, she would fall into a passive position.
"Nansun, don't be anxious, just listen to me."
"Suosuo, you don't even know. Just now when I asked her for Brother Chen's phone number, she actually said she didn't know. She did it on purpose."
"When did you ask me? How come I didn't know?" Zhu Suosuo was stunned. She finally understood why her best friend was so angry.
Jiang Nansun looked a little shy, "I just asked you a question when you were in the bathroom."
Zhu Suosuo's mouth twitched and she smiled, "Nansun, now that you say that, you can't go ask them."
"Why?" Jiang Nansun asked in confusion.
"Think about it, regardless of whether that woman and Brother Chen are boyfriend and girlfriend, they must be friends, right?"
"Correct."
"So, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"
Jiang Nansun's momentum weakened, and she held her best friend's hand apologetically, "Suosuo, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."
Zhu Suosuo smiled indifferently, "Nansun, I can understand your feelings, but there are some things we must clarify. One is whether Nana and Brother Chen are boyfriend and girlfriend, and the other is the relationship between Xu Hongdou and Brother Chen."
"Then shouldn't I go find that woman and expose her?"
"What are you exposing? People don't give you Brother Chen's phone number." Zhu Suosuo chuckled and continued, "On the contrary, I think it's because your aura is too strong and that woman is under pressure, so that's why it's like this. If I were that woman, I wouldn't give you the phone number either."
"Ok?"
Zhu Suosuo had to explain it in detail, and Jiang Nansun finally understood, "You mean they are not boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Zhu Suosuo said proudly, "If they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they wouldn't have reacted that way. The woman should have revealed her identity right away, just like what happened at the Gucheng Hotpot restaurant that day."
Jiang Nansun understood, but was even more confused, "You mean, Brother Chen and that Xu Hongdou are a couple?"
Zhu Suosuo shook her head. "Although the two of them seem to be behaving intimately, I always feel that there is a lack of energy, and it's not quite like that."
Jiang Nansun was confused and looked at her best friend in bewilderment.
"Okay, okay, instead of guessing here, we might as well go directly to the courtyard and ask. I believe we should get something." Zhu Suosuo took her best friend's hand and walked in the direction indicated by Xie Zhiyao.
Along the way, Zhu Suosuo told her best friend her secret of love, but it was obvious that for Jiang Nansun, this so-called secret was not applicable and was completely confusing.
