Lord Tianshi, please take your seat

The days at Zhong's house were peaceful and peaceful, and Zhong Wanning was used to having Xia Chuyu waiting for her every time she came back.

I'm used to eating Xia Chuyu's cooking, I'm used to Xia Chuyu always calling herself Wan Ning in a soft voice.

After staying in the other courtyard for a long time, Xia Chuyu also felt bored.

The Taoists at the door were discussing something in a low voice, Xia Chuyu leaned over to listen.

"Sister Zhong's birthday is coming soon, have you prepared a congratulatory gift?"

"No, I don't know what to prepare."

……

The discussion between the two gradually faded away, and Xia Chuyu crouched in the corner thinking.

"Zhong Wanning's birthday, what should I give her...?"

Zhong Wanning, as the eldest lady of the Zhong family, usually does not lack for anything, and she has nothing herself, so Xia Chuyu was in trouble for a while.

Taking the umbrella, Xia Chuyu left the other courtyard for the first time in a long time.

Without the protection of the enchantment, the scorching heat of the sun rushed over in an instant.

Xia Chuyu lowered the umbrella as much as possible to cover the sun above her head.

Xia Chuyu has lived in Zhong's house for a while, but knows very few people.

Having never been to a place other than the other courtyard, Xia Chuyu quickly lost her way.

After walking around outside for a long time, Xia Chuyu couldn't bear the burning sensation of the sun.

"Hey, isn't this the little ghost servant of Senior Sister?"

Ye Zhinan's voice came from the front.

Xia Chuyu let out a long sigh of relief, and finally met a savior.

Opening an umbrella, he walked quickly to Ye Zhinan's side and said hello, "Miss Ye."

Ye Zhinan also smiled: "Hi Xiao Ah Chu, why did you come out alone?"

As she spoke, she looked behind Xia Chuyu, and there was indeed no sign of Zhong Wanning.

On weekdays, Zhong Wanning valued her as a ghost servant the most, how could she be willing to let her come out alone and suffer from the sun.

Xia Chuyu nodded: "Wan Ning didn't follow me, I came out by myself."

Ye Zhinan snorted, "Did something happen?"

As she said that, she covered her mouth as if she had discovered some big secret: "Senior Sister abused you?"

Xia Chuyu was funny, and she admired Ye Zhinan's brain.

But under the scorching sun, Xia Chuyu couldn't stay any longer, so she went straight to the point.

"Is it Wan Ning's birthday soon?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhinan just woke up like a dream: "That's right, I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me."

As she said that, she snapped her fingers: "It seems like tomorrow will be."

"Look at my brain." Ye Zhinan patted his brain: "Thank you for reminding little Ah Chu, I have to prepare a gift for my senior sister."

Where did this go, Xia Chuyu hurriedly grabbed Ye Zhinan who was about to leave.

"Miss Ye, I need your help with something."

Ye Zhinan turned around: "What's the matter?"

Xia Chuyu ducked her feet: "Does Miss Ye have embroidery thread?"

"Embroidery thread?" Ye Zhinan shook his head: "I never come into contact with female workers, I really don't have these things."

This time Xia Chuyu had a problem: "It's okay to not need embroidery thread. Does Miss Ye have ordinary needles and threads?"

"I do have this." Ye Zhinan smiled: "What does Xiao Ah Chu want these things for?"

Xia Chuyu lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Wan Ning's birthday is coming up, and I don't have anything to give, so I just thought about making something for her."

Ye Zhinan smiled knowingly: "Okay, come with me."

Ye Zhinan brought Xia Chuyu to his residence. As soon as he entered the room, he felt a sense of coolness, and Xia Chuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After putting away the umbrella, Xia Chuyu quietly waited aside.

Ye Zhinan never used these things on weekdays, and it took a lot of time to find them.

Handed the item to Xia Chuyu: "Okay, here is what you want."

The sun was shining outside, Xia Chuyu didn't really want to go out to bask in the sun, so she simply stayed here with Ye Zhinan.

"Miss Ye, can I stay here and do it?"

"Okay." Ye Zhinan waved his hand heartily: "You can do it, I'm also going to see what I can give my senior sister."

Before Xia Chuyu was alive, her mother passed away early, and Xia Chuyu made all the clothes at home by herself, and the female worker was very good at needlework.

It's a pity that Ye Zhinan doesn't have embroidery thread, so the manual work is inevitably rough.

I don't know how long it took, until the purse in his hand slowly took shape, Xia Chuyu raised her sore neck.

Zhong Wanning always likes white shirts on weekdays, and Xia Chuyu saw too much of her simple and elegant appearance, so she wanted to add some color to her.

The stitches of the red purse are fine and tight, and the ordinary needle and thread are too thick. Xia Chuyu can't do it meticulously, so she can only give up the idea of ​​embroidering the pattern.

Embroider Zhong Wanning's name in the middle of the purse, and the purse is complete.

After stretching, Xia Chuyu was quite satisfied with the work in her hands.

Outside, the sun had already set, guessing that Zhong Wanning had already returned by now, Xia Chuyu bid farewell to Ye Zhinan.

Here, when Zhong Wanning stepped into the other courtyard, she didn't smell the familiar aroma of rice.

He hurried into the room with some doubts, but he didn't see Xia Chuyu's figure either.

"Ah Chu? Ah Chu?"

He called a few times, but no one answered.

Feeling flustered slowly, Zhong Wanning searched all over the other courtyards, but couldn't find the person she wanted.

Xia Chuyu, who was still on the way back, only felt that the chain around her neck was starting to glow red, and she yelled that she was not good, so she hurried back.

Zhong Wanning stood silently in the yard, like a log, motionless.

The plain white hairband behind her was swaying from side to side in the wind, making people feel that the air around her was scumming from the cold.

"Wan Ning!" Xia Chuyu leaned on the wall out of breath.

As soon as the words fell, Xia Chuyu felt a force pulling her, and bumped towards Zhong Wanning.

A muffled groan came from above her head, and Xia Chuyu raised her head: "Wan Ning, are you alright?"

The impact was so painful that she couldn't believe that Zhong Wanning didn't feel anything.

After all, he ran straight towards her.

Just thinking about it, Xia Chuyu felt that Zhong Wanning seemed to be shaking and her breathing became disordered.

Xia Chuyu wanted to raise her head, but Zhong Wanning held her tightly in her arms: "Wanning, let me go first."

"Where have you been?" The voice was still as calm as before, but there was some fear of turbulence.

"I... I just went out for a while."

Xia Chuyu patted Zhong Wanning on the back reassuringly.

"Wan Ning, let me go first."

Feeling that the person in his arms was real, Zhong Wanning adjusted her breathing and let go of Xia Chuyu.

It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, Zhong Wanning rejoiced, she thought Xia Chuyu was taken by her father to repair the barrier ahead of time...

Zhong Wanning, who had calmed down, also felt that Xia Chuyu's breath was a little weak.

Habitually resting his index finger on Xia Chuyu's forehead, he helped her instill spiritual power.

The cool spiritual power slowly flowed through her whole body, washing away the dryness and heat all over her body.

Xia Chuyu looked at Zhong Wanning apologetically, "Thank you, Wanning."

Zhong Wanning shook her head, took her hand and went indoors: "Where did you go?"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyu smiled mysteriously, and took out the purse she had embroidered: "Look, what is this?"

The eccentric appearance swept away the haze in Zhong Wanning's heart, and took the purse from Xia Chuyu's hand.

"This is for me?"

Xia Chuyu nodded and hugged Zhong Wanning's arm: "Happy birthday, Wanning."

Putting the purse in his hand and touching it for a long time, Zhong Wanning only felt that his heart was full, a feeling he had never felt before.

There are sourness and sweetness, which echo in my heart and last for a long time...
