Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 184 Oiran Competition (1)

Lan Xi slept very soundly and dreamlessly. When she woke up slowly, she found that she was awakened by a beam of warm light. She stretched her body and rubbed her sleepy eyes. It turned out that Xiao Chuhan had already gotten up and was sitting by the window, quietly gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Lan Xi sat up from the bed and tidied up her messy hair. At this time, Xiao Chuhan heard the noise, turned to look at Lan Xi, and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

Lan Xi smiled at Xiao Chuhan with a hint of apology, and replied: "I slept so well this time! Why didn't you wake me up?"

Xiao Chuhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and responded gently: "Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I really can't bear to wake you up. Anyway, we still have to stay in the North Country for a few days, so it doesn't matter if you sleep a little longer."

Lan Xi asked doubtfully, "How many days will we stay in the North Country? Aren't we going to hurry? I want to get to Yueyin Country as soon as possible."

Xiao Chuhan's expression changed slightly, as if he was unhappy, but soon he regained his composure. Xiao Chuhan said calmly, "Are you so anxious to go to Yueyin Country?"

Seeing this, Lan Xi hurriedly explained: "No, no, absolutely not! Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking casually."

"It's not easy for us to come to the North Country. I want to take you to stay in the North Country for a few more days and show you around."

"You're right. There are still many places in the Northland that we haven't visited. It's a rare trip, so staying a few more days before continuing on our journey won't delay our trip."

After hearing Lan Xi's words, Xiao Chuhan felt a little better.

Lan Xi continued: "So what should we do today?"

"Take you to eat something delicious."

Lan Xi suddenly remembered something and said excitedly, "I was wandering around the North Country yesterday and saw a notice that a restaurant in the North Country is holding an Oiran competition today. It's said to be very exciting. Do you want to go and see it?"

Xiao Chuhan raised his eyebrows, looked at Lan Xi, and teased: "Oh? You actually like watching these?"

“Not… not at all?”

Lan Xi's face flushed red instantly, and she stammered to explain: "I... I was just curious, and everyone said it was very interesting... I... I'm not what you think!"

Seeing Lan Xi in such an awkward situation, Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but burst into laughter. He took Lan Xi's hand and said, "Okay, I was just kidding. Let's go and watch this Oiran competition together. Maybe there will be some surprises."

Lan Xi shook off Xiao Chuhan's hand vigorously, and then said to him: "Don't worry! Let me go back to my room, change into decent clothes, and tidy up a little. After all, this is my first time to go to such an occasion! I have only seen it in TV dramas. I have to dress up well and wear something formal and handsome!"

Although Xiao Chuhan couldn't fully understand what Lan Xi said, he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you in the hall first! Come down to find me when you've packed up." After that, Xiao Chuhan turned and left.

After Xiao Chuhan left, Lan Xi carefully selected a simple and elegant blue outfit. As usual, Lan Xi wore men's clothes and tied her hair up high, looking heroic and majestic.

When Lan Xi finished packing and came to Xiao Chuhan's side, Xiao Chuhan stared at the very well-dressed Lan Xi in front of him and said jokingly: "You are dressed so handsomely today, are you trying to seduce some woman?"

When Lan Xi heard this, she retorted: "How can this be called seduction? This is called taking seriously. There should be a sense of ritual, do you understand?" However, Xiao Chuhan was confused by the word "sense of ritual" and said he didn't understand it at all.

Seeing this, Lan Xi shook her head helplessly and said, "Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you! Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to get a good seat to watch the next Oiran competition!"

"Oh? So you know that you need to grab a good seat to watch the Oiran competition?" Xiao Chuhan asked in surprise.

Lan Xi answered confidently: "Of course! Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run!"

Lan Xi herself didn't quite understand why she felt so relaxed and at ease when she was with Xiao Chuhan, as if she didn't have to worry about anything. Perhaps this was the wonder of fate...
