Chapter 73 Love Deviates from the Path
Upon arriving outside the Lotus Pavilion, Wu You invited Qiao Wanmian and the other woman to sit down, poured them tea, and then began to inquire.
"Sister A-Mian, how's the matter I asked you to do? Have you found any leads?"
Qiao Wanmian first took a sip of tea, then scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? It won't run away. Here, this is it." Qiao Wanmian pulled an envelope from her sleeve and handed it to Wu You.
Wu You took it and saw that there was not a single word on it, so he didn't think about opening the letter to read it.
"Thank you so much for your help, Sister A-Mian. Wu You is extremely grateful." Wu You thanked her again solemnly.
"There's no need for this between us."
"Hehe, then I won't say anything. You guys sit down first, I'll go get it and show it to Li Lianhua."
Wu You got up, intending to go back to Lotus Pavilion to find Li Lianhua, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Li Lianhua strolling out of Lotus Pavilion.
"Li..." Wu You wanted to call out to Lianhua, but found that Li Lianhua was standing at the door, looking at Qiao Wanmian from a distance by the small table.
Actually, Li Lianhua hadn't planned to come out. It was Di Feisheng who said from the side, "Qiao Wanmian brought us a clue. We're leaving tomorrow, and we won't have many chances to see each other again. Are you sure you don't want to go?"
Li Lianhua was extremely curious that these words actually came from Di Feisheng's mouth. Could it be that the monk Wule had possessed him?
Di Feisheng felt a little uneasy under Li Lianhua's gaze, but stubbornly said, "I don't care if you go or not." With that, he went back to his room on his own.
Li Lianhua thought that Di Feisheng's words made sense, so she went out.
At that moment, Wu You felt as if he and everything around him had become invisible, and he saw beautiful flower petals falling from the sky to Li Lianhua and Qiao Wanmian.
The background music started playing: "An inch of land, a year of wood, a flower, a tree, a greedy heart. Love is a seed, but it blooms on the wrong path. Forget the road ahead, forget the old things, forget your heart, forget the beginning. The mottled flowers remain on the road of loving you..."
Okay, there's nothing else, it's all just Wu You's imagination.
Li Lianhua was the first to react, and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Miss Qiao, Master Xiao."
Qiao Wanmian also realized that her behavior just now was somewhat impolite, and immediately stood up: "Mr. Li."
Seeing Qiao Wanmian stand up, Xiao Zijin also stood up and bowed to Li Lianhua, saying, "Divine Doctor Li."
"Sit down and let's talk. Please." Li Lianhua walked to the small table and sat down first.
Wu You and the others also sat down.
“Youyou asked me to find out the whereabouts of Lion Soul before, and I found some clues. Ten years ago, when we released him, he wrote a letter of thanks. It came from Cailian Manor in Xueyu Town, but that was also ten years ago.”
Qiao Wanmian told Li Lianhua the information she had found, and Wu You also handed the letter in her hand to Li Lianhua.
Li Lianhua accepted the letter: "In this vast sea of people, it's not easy to get even the smallest clues. Thank you, Miss Qiao."
"You're welcome. It was Youyou who asked me for help."
Seeing that the matter was over, Wu You stood up and took Qiao Wanmian's arm: "Come on, let's go to my room and talk."
"Okay." Qiao Wanmian got up with Wu You's help and walked into the Lotus Pavilion together.
Xiao Zijin, who was behind her, wanted to follow, but Li Lianhua stopped her, saying, "Hero Xiao, you shouldn't go when the girls are talking." As she spoke, she refilled the teacup in front of Xiao Zijin.
Xiao Zijin stopped and picked up her teacup to drink. She had subconsciously followed Qiao Wanmian, but now that she thought about it, they were going to a strange woman's room, and it was indeed inappropriate for her to follow them.
Li Lianhua didn't want to stay with Xiao Zijin either, but it wasn't appropriate to leave her alone there. After thinking for a while, Li Lianhua went back to Lianhua Tower and called Fang Duobing downstairs to keep Xiao Zijin company.
Fang Duobing was also helpless. He had only been reading in his room because he didn't want to stay with her, so why did Li Lianhua specifically call him down?
Li Lianhua, this is called "better to die than to die."
Everyone had come down, so Fang Duobing had no choice but to sit down facing Xiao Zijin and drink tea cup after cup.
Wu You took Qiao Wanmian to his room, wanting to ask her if she had thought through what he had told her before.
But when he turned around, he saw Qiao Wanmian looking at his room with great curiosity.
Wu You's room is furnished with some modern items because no one usually comes here.
Of the three people in the Lotus Pavilion, only Li Lianhua occasionally came in. The other two never entered his room. If they needed to call him, they would knock on the door. Wu You had gotten used to many things and had forgotten them.
It was too late to put it away now, and it would only make things more obvious, so Wu You gave up on the idea.
"Youyou, what kind of mirror is this? It reflects so clearly!" Qiao Wanmian asked, looking at the mirror where even the individual strands of hair were clearly visible, filled with curiosity.
"You mean this? This is a flat mirror made of glass. Most bronze mirrors that people use nowadays can't make out images clearly."
"Glass?" Qiao Wanmian was completely baffled by this unfamiliar word.
"Here it is." Wu You took a glass of water from the table next to her and placed it in front of Qiao Wanmian. She then poured some specially cooled flower tea from the kettle.
Wu You had used these items ten years ago. He never imagined that they would still be in good condition in his room after all these years. They could be considered old glassware.
Actually, there was one in Wu You's old house, but since it's still in good condition and not broken, and we shouldn't waste it, we'll use it for now.
"Isn't this glass? But glass doesn't seem to be as clear and transparent as this."
"That's true."
"Then what is this?" Qiao Wanmian asked, looking at the thing on the table that had a round plate underneath, a round head on top, and was supported by a thin pillar in the middle. It looked rather cute.
Oh dear, what's with the desk lamp here too?
"This is a lamp, just like a candle, used for lighting at night, like this." Wu You pressed the switch with her finger, and the lamp turned on.
"It's actually white light, and it's so bright even during the day." Qiao Wanmian thought it was just yellow light like a candle, with the lamp flickering on and off.
“I am a little different from a candle. As long as the sun is still shining, it will keep illuminating.”
"It's really amazing." Qiao Wanmian imitated Wu You's action and gently pressed the button. There was a small "click" sound, and it became even brighter than before.
Pressing the button again, the light went out. What a magical thing! "What's it called? Is it just called a light?"

Lotus Tower Small Theater
Li Lianhua: Speaking of which, when I met Qiao Wanmian, Youyou, why did you think of that song? The lyrics don't even seem to fit.
Wu You: What else could it be? Of course, this is the poem that the young author had in mind at the time.
What does "Li Lianhua" mean?
Wu You: The young author said that she looked at several other poems for comparison, but this one was still the most suitable.
