Chapter 284 I have some bad news for you, your father is here...
Kong Nishang, who had finally broken through the crowd and felt like she was about to ascend to heaven, never expected to see her beloved Sister Bai as soon as she came out.
Her rosy, round face immediately broke into happy smiles, except for her nose.
Bai Mengran nodded and replied with a smile, "Of course I'm waiting for you~ But Yiyi, what kind of 'ordeals' have you experienced on your journey?"
Seeing that Sister Bai was looking her up and down, Kong Nishang quickly looked down...
_=????(???=????(???д??=????(???д???)!!!
She noticed that the hem of her clothes was still stained with mud and dust from crawling through the dog hole, her clothes were wrinkled, and she was covered in sweat from running so fast and in such a crowded place…
Oh no, what should I do? Her image!
Damn it, how did her beloved Sister Bai see her looking like this?
Oh no, her image is completely ruined now...
"Uh, well... that... sigh! It's a long story, too complicated to explain in a few words..."
Kong Nishang hesitated, but then decided not to speak, remembering her terrible experience.
We absolutely cannot let Sister Bai know that she sneaked out of the mansion through the dog hole, otherwise her image will be truly ruined!
She could only laugh awkwardly, blinking nervously a few times, trying to change the subject.
"Um... Sister Bai, what's wrong with you today?"
Why are there so many people at the entrance to [Fairyland]? I was stuck in the crowd for ages, unable to move, and there was a tall guy blocking my view so I couldn't see anything..."
Bai Mengran naturally saw through her evasive talk at a glance, but she didn't call her out on it.
She chuckled secretly and asked, "Yiyi, didn't you see the huge changes that happened in the entire [Fairyland] today?"
"Hmm? What change? I really didn't notice before..."
Kong Nishang turned her head in confusion, and upon seeing what was there, she froze on the spot, too surprised to speak.
Good heavens! How come Wonderland has changed so drastically? And she only just noticed?!
She had felt something was off before, but she hadn't paid attention to her feet. It turned out that not only had the road surface changed, but now it was paved with smooth, light stone-colored tiles with subtle auspicious cloud patterns, which was absolutely beautiful!
Moreover, the area where the crowds had been was now filled with many new and stunning landscapes, which she had completely failed to notice along the way...
"Uh, Sister Bai, I think I accidentally missed a lot of beautiful scenery..."
Kong Nishang felt so stupid she wanted to cry. She kept wondering if she hadn't checked the almanac before going out today, because everything seemed to be going wrong...
However, when she looked out at the fountain, which was half-obscured by the crowd, she saw the word "water" shimmering amidst the swirling mist.
"Wow~ It's so beautiful! Sister Bai, I saw the words 'Welcome to Wonderland'! Wonderland is absolutely stunning today!"
"Come on, let's walk across the water bridge! Once we cross, I'll take you to see the shops that have changed today!"
Although Bai Mengran maintained a calm demeanor, it was easy to tell from her obviously excited tone that she was also full of anticipation for the upcoming trip.
"Sister Bai, what new stores are opening today?"
By the way, what was with that little pigeon that came to deliver the message? It almost startled me, and then suddenly it started talking to me!
And another thing, I never expected that the letter Little Pigeon delivered would make me feel like you were really standing in front of me, talking to me!
Once Kong Nishang recalled that incident, she started talking non-stop, with questions popping out one after another like an abacus.
Infected by her enthusiasm and energy, Bai Mengran also felt a touch of joy in her heart.
She patiently answered all the countless questions this curious child asked.
"I'll take you to the braised food shop in a bit. They have a new duck product line that's perfect for studying at home. I think you'll love it!"
Then, in a little while, I'll take you to open a new shop. There you can have a bowl of spicy mala tang (a type of hot pot), and add whatever you want! Mmm... just thinking about it makes me want to live in Bengbu!
Bai Mengran felt a surge of craving for mala tang (a spicy hot pot dish) as soon as it was mentioned, and quickly tried to distract herself.
"As for the errand boy you asked about, he's my new little darling."
From now on, I can use them to communicate with you guys anytime!
Don't be too surprised if you see Little Pigeon coming to find you again; you can even have it carry your messages back!
"Huh? It can even relay messages to Sister Bai? I didn't know that. After hearing it, I just let Little Pigeon go home..."
When Kong Nishang heard what Sister Bai said, she thought it was so fun and amazing!
She had only ever seen carrier pigeons before, but Sister Bai was amazing. Her little pigeon could not only talk, but also convey messages and voices. It was truly wonderful!
However, Kong Nishang was soon completely captivated by the more interesting water bridge.
Wow~~ This water bridge is amazing! Walking on it not only creates puddles, but it also makes flowers bloom!!
Sister Bai, look at me! I'm walking on a flower-lined path right now!
With each step, a blooming flower would appear beneath one's feet, and each one was different, which captivated all the women who came here.
They walked back and forth on the water bridge, marveling at the trail of blooming flowers beneath their feet...
Bai Mengran accompanied Kong Nishang on the water bridge for a while. When they were almost back in the direction of the food street, she gently lifted Kong Nishang's sleeve and "came ashore".
"Let's play later, let's go to the braised food shop first."
Bai Mengran, pulling Kong Nishang who was still enjoying the stomping, planned to head to [Unforgettable Braised Food Shop].
Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to ask, "By the way, Yiyi, do you know if your father is in the yamen today?"
Upon hearing the mention of her "natural nemesis" father, Kong Nishang instinctively suppressed her smile. Although somewhat puzzled, she honestly replied:
"When I left this morning, Father hadn't gone to the county office yet; it seemed he was delayed by something..."
Just as Bai Mengran was about to ask Magistrate Kong for more details, she suddenly caught sight of the person who appeared not far behind them. Wasn't that Kong Nishang's father—Magistrate Kong?!
"Uh, Yiyi, don't turn around yet, I have some bad news to tell you..."
Seeing that the other person seemed to have already seen her and was walking in their direction, Bai Mengran had no choice but to subtly remind Kong Nishang beside her.
Kong Nishang's alarm bells rang in her mind. She keenly noticed that Sister Bai's expression had suddenly changed, and her tone of voice had turned serious, as if she had sensed a dangerous signal.
"Prepare yourself, your father is walking towards us right now... oh, and your mother is here too..."
Bai Mengran forced a smile at Magistrate Kong and his entourage, while subtly reminding those around her with almost no movement of her lips.
