Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 18 Have to Make a Way

Tang San isn't near to neither Gusu or Yonghe, and it takes half a day to arrive at the closest which is Gusu. So, Tiao Reinshun is sure that they will agree to stay for the night, especially they are both tired from playing all day.

When everything has already settled, Tiao Reinshun decided to wait for them outside the inn to let them know. Upon the sight of the two teens, she waves at them all innocently, that no one would think she's actually plotting something.

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan were currently confused after learning that Tiao Reinshun rents two rooms, so Wei Ying asked.

"I saw the bed and it's really spacious enough to fit three people."

"Then what's with another room?"

She blinks, "Second Young Master Lan might not like sharing a room with someone." Of course, this is just an excuse.

"Oh yea... then we're sharing just like usual."

"No." Both turns to Lan Zhan; one is confused, and one is smiling. "You're a girl. I'll share with Wei Ying."

Tiao Reinshun wants to call him liar, fully aware that Lan Zhan simply doesn't like the idea of Wei Ying sharing a room with her who is rumored future-wife of Wei Ying. At the same time, she wants to praise him for finding such a good excuse.

"It is really fine Second Young Master Lan? I meant Me and Bro Ying tends to share a room when we're going out, and I thought you hate being with strangers."

"You two are not strangers. And you're a girl, it's inappropriate."

She wants to roll her eyes, but suppress herself, 'You still going to push that?' she wants to laugh now.

"Alright, alright! But of course, I'll eat with you guys! Its lonely to eat alone after all."

After dinner Tiao Reinshun suggested a game.

"Chicken Game?" Tiao Reinshun nodded and begun to explain.

"Two players will bite each end of this biscuit," She shows the stick biscuit that she takes out from her qiankun pouch, "and they keep biting until one bail out."

"Aren't their faces will get closer by then?"

"That's the game! Either you or your opponent break the biscuit which is sign that they lost."

"And if none bails..."

"You can imagine from there."

"Ahhh..."

"Shameless!" Lan Zhan stands and was about to go in bed, yet he froze,

"Then what about Bro Ying?" Tiao Reinshun knows Lan Zhan far too good now, and this is those times she could fully read him without sweat.

"I don't see any problem on it, let's play Lan Zhan!"

"No." Tiao Reinshun already sees this coming, but it won't make her back down!

"Then let's play together instead Bro Ying!"

"...Alright!" Wei Ying looks at Lan Zhan, "Lan Zhan, you can always join us!" Lan Zhan no longer response finally able to move his body to sit at the bed. Wei Ying smiles and start the game with Tiao Reinshun.

Lan Zhan has blank expression and no signs of reaction—is what others would say, especially those who doesn't know the Second Young Master Lan.

They are just getting started and yet feels like a torture to the white robe cultivator.

Near, so near, they are getting closer, their faces are almost meeting, no one has plan to bail. More closer.

Indeed, neither Wei Ying nor Tiao Reinshun has any plans to bail as they are almost the middle of the snack, unless if Lan Zhan pushes their shoulders to separate them. Tiao Reinshun has able to break the snack in time. Yes, Lan Zhan didn't just think of it, he literally done it.
