MDZS: Still Lament

Chapter 6: Beginning Part 3

Zhuqin had gone with Jin Zixuan, Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng, Nie Huaisang and the other disciples to Caiyi Town for sightseeing. Out of everyone, the young maiden naturally chose to do sightseeing with Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng. As the sun started to set and its orange rays fading into the sky, the four of them gathered again with the other disciples.

Upon seeing her standing close to Wei Wuxian, Jin Zixuan hurriedly walked to them and softly tugged Zhuqin's arm.

She obliviously inquired, "What are you doing brother?"

Zhuqin carefully pulled her arm away while Jin Zixuan took a step back.

As everyone's attention was set on the male Lanling princess, he pretended to clear his throat and looked away.

"It is almost night," Jin Zixuan began. "A man and a woman must not stand too close."

"Oh...is that so?" Zhuqin laughed and fixed the wrinkle on her left wrist. "I thought you were jealous because now I am not standing next to you!"

"That..." Jin Zixuan mumbled.

He looked around and sighed.

Then he quietly uttered, "...that could be."

"Shenme (What)?" Zhuqin giggled.

Not wanting to get embarrassed, Jin Zixuan turned to the Jin disciples and ordered for them to return back to Cloud Recesses.

Then he turned to Zhuqin, "It is getting dark. We should go back to Cloud Recesses."

"Oooh..." Zhuqin replied and only sighed to herself before Wei Wuxian hugged onto her arm.

"Buxing (No), A Qin has me here~" Wei Wuxian mocked and rubbed his cheek on her shoulder. "She can't leave me here."

Of course, Jin Zixuan could not bear to watch another person get THAT affectionate with his younger sister. As usual, Jin Zixuan just wanted to lash out and forcefully push or even pull Wei Wuxian away from her but with so many eyes watching, he could only hold his breath. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked through the crowds of disciples while a few of the Jin disciples followed after him.

Mianmian quietly approached Zhuqin, "Mmm...Jin xiaojie, are you not coming with us?"

"I will come in a bit," Zhuqin cheerfully responded and patted Mianmian's shoulder.

For a second, Mianmian had wanted to insist on Zhuqin to go with them to not upset Jin Zixuan, but she decided that words could wait at the moment. Without saying anything, she smiled and raised her hands up, left over right. Mianmian bid temporary farewell to Zhuqin then left with the rest of their Jin disciples.

"Just like that?" Wei Wuxian laughed.

Almost sounding as if she was going to laugh herself, Zhuqin responded, "Of course~"

Then Wei Wuxian questioned, "Hey A Qin, which sect is that uh...girl from?"

"Mianmian?" Zhuqin asked. "Ta shi Luo jia de ren, Luo Qingyang (She is part of the Luo family, Luo Qingyang)."

"Luo Qingyang~?" Wei Wuxian questioned, sounding almost curious.

"Shi a (That is right)," Zhuqin responded with a clear smile. "Women dou jiao ta Mianmian (We all call her Mianmian)~"

"She is from the Luo family?" Jiang Cheng questioned. "No sect?"

"What does it matter if Mianmian is from a big sect, small sect or just a family?" Zhuqin questioned with a joyful smile. "Mianmian jiushi Mianmian (Mianmian is just Mianmian)."
