Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 160 Ning Linlan's Pre-Wedding Fear

They went into the private room, and the waiter left.

"Sister Ning, come and sit down, why are you standing?" Lin Chunyi plopped down in a chair.

Then, he said to his sister in an annoyed tone, "You're quite the social butterfly, aren't you? You just rushed up to the second floor all by yourself."

Have you checked the prices on the second floor? We can't leave until we've finished washing all the teapots upstairs.

Lin Lanshan was peeling sunflower seeds that were given to each table. She snorted and said, "I'm not stupid. I must have looked at the menu before choosing the second floor."

The second floor is high up, offers a wide view, and is also very pretentious, so of course she has to sit here!

Ning Linlan finally had a chance to speak, "It's okay, it's okay, I should have paid for today anyway. You brought me to such a beautiful and fun place, so I should definitely pay for it!"

How could someone going to Paradise City not have money on them? She secretly withdrew half of her savings from all these years!

"Sister Ning, we haven't even ordered the food yet, why are you talking about money?" Lin Chunyi replied with a smile.

Then I asked my younger sister, "Did you order anything? Why are you sitting here and not leaving? Is there something delicious that's keeping you here?"

"Not yet, I'm just waiting for you guys. My sister really understands me, hahaha!" Lin Lanshan rested her left elbow on the table, her palm supporting her chin.

He pushed a menu in front of Ning Linlan with his right index finger.

"My sister is right. Since we're out having fun, why rush things about money? Sister Ning, let's see if there's anything you want to eat or drink."

I just glanced at this menu; although it's a teahouse, it has a pretty complete selection of food and drinks.

She was so engrossed in the delicious food that she couldn't move her butt.

The menu is divided into two main categories: drinks and snacks.

Beverages include various types of tea: black tea, green tea, oolong tea, and flower tea, etc.

Sweet soups and drinks: rose syrup, perilla drink, goat milk tea, etc.

There are also beverages: Pear Blossom Spring, Bamboo Leaf Green, and wine...

Snacks include various pastries: Biluochun rolls, Longjing tea pastries, lotus flower pastries, Poria cocos cakes...

Candied fruits: candied winter melon, candied dates, candied tangerines, plum ginger...

Dried fruits: peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, etc.

There was so much written that it overwhelmed them.

Girls, most of them, can't take their eyes off pretty, sweet and delicious pastries. They want to eat this and that, making it quite difficult to choose.

So the three of them sat down together and spent about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before deciding what they wanted and calling the waiter over.

Since they had come to a teahouse, how could they miss out on drinking tea? So, the first thing they ordered was a pot of Gu Zhu Zi Sun tea, which had a lovely name.

Although none of them knew how to drink tea, if there was bitter tea, then there should be sweet tea snacks!

Adhering to the perfect color combination of red and green, they ordered a lotus flower pastry and a two-tone mung bean cake.

After the waiter left, Ning Linlan clicked her tongue and said, "No wonder Mingya Restaurant is so beautiful, but not many people come here."

A pot of tea costs several taels of silver; this isn't tea, it's practically drinking gold!

Their trip must have cost four or five taels of silver. Luckily, I brought more than ten taels of silver with me today, which should be enough for their food and drink.

Lin Chunyi chuckled and teased her, "Sister Ning, even the most expensive teahouse can't compare to the price of Jilefang, haha."

Speaking of the Paradise Pavilion, I only knew you were skilled in martial arts before, but I never expected you to be so bold.

"You dare to sneak into a brothel all by yourself? Aren't you afraid of encountering any danger? What were you thinking?"

Ning Linlan suddenly stood up, both shocked and nervous, and asked, "How did you know I know martial arts? When did you find out? Does Zheng Yong know? Do your uncle and aunt know?"

Faced with her barrage of questions, Lin Chunyi chuckled silently.

They really misjudged his personality...

Lin Lanshan gave her a meaningful look and replied, "Keep your voice down. Take it easy with your loud voice. The people downstairs can hear you."

When we first met, my sister said that when you were arguing with her about paying, your grip was unusually strong and your stance was very steady, so she became suspicious.

Don't worry, knowing martial arts isn't a bad thing. What's there to brag about? Once you've thought it through, just tell them yourself.

"Thank you both for keeping this a secret for me." Ning Linlan clasped her hands together and thanked them sincerely.

She glanced down and, sure enough, several people looked in her direction from the sound. She quickly and obediently sat back down in her chair, dejectedly saying:

"A brothel? Who wouldn't be curious? Besides, I'm getting married soon, so I thought I should broaden my horizons before the wedding. After all, once I'm married, I won't be free to do whatever I want anymore..."

At this point, she became a little downcast.

Lin Chunyi asked her curiously, "What's wrong with you? You're so different from how you were last time, all sweet and loving. Did Zhengyong bully you? Don't you want to marry him anymore?"

She waved her hands frantically, explaining, "No, no! He didn't bully me, and I didn't want to not marry him. I, I just... I don't know what's wrong with me..."

Suddenly, as if deflated, he slumped onto the table, "Sigh~ I'm telling you, don't tell anyone."

With her girlfriends of the same age willing to listen to her, she didn't care whether they would talk about it or not; all she wanted to do was get everything off her chest!

Is it related to the Eight Trigrams?

The two sisters nodded, their eyes gleaming with gossip. Each grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and sat obediently, waiting for her to continue.

Ning Linlan then began to speak:

"Since you know I know martial arts, you should be able to guess that the story of Zheng Yong saving me when we first met was a bit exaggerated."

If he hadn't shown up, those idiots would probably have been beating me to a pulp by now. Although, actually, after he left, I went back and gave them a good beating, hehe~”

...A heroine among women, number six.

She continued, "Because of my hunter background, I didn't have many friends growing up. If I were also capable of fighting, my mother thought I might never get married. So she always told me not to resort to violence when I was out in public."

So much so that apart from my family, no one knew I knew martial arts. As for Zheng Yong, I never found a suitable opportunity to be honest with him. Because of this, I've always felt uneasy about it.

With the wedding just a few months away, I'm worried that one day he and his parents will find out and hate me, and then the engagement will be called off. I can't keep it a secret forever.

On one hand, I was thinking that once I got married, I would have to stay home every day to cook and clean, and I would no longer be able to hunt or practice martial arts, nor could I go out freely.

I like Lin Zhengyong, but I'm scared. I think I might not want to get married anymore. I'm wondering if I wouldn't have to worry about so much if we didn't get married...

She didn't know what was wrong with her; she must have gone mad. She had actually told Zhengyong's sisters so many nonsensical truths.

The more she talked, the sadder she became, and the sadder she became, the more she talked.

It's like once they opened their mouths and uttered the first word, they just couldn't stop.

After exchanging glances, the two sisters probably both mentally labeled Ning Linlan's current state with a word:

Pre-wedding jitters!
