Lu Shixiu is too shameless, I can't do it.

After hearing Lu Shixiu's proposal, he hurriedly ran out.

He obviously only stayed in the house for a while, but when he came out, he felt stuffy and hot, so he planned to go out to get some air.

To be honest, I have been in Luzhou for so long, and I haven't visited the long street here.

Standing in the middle of the marble-paved road, surrounded by crowds of people, I always wonder if every step I take will overlap with the steps that Shixiu took when he was a child.

This kind of thinking is a bit naive, but if it really overlaps, it will be so unbelievable and unreasonably joyful, as if this is considered to have participated in this person's past.

I'm quite greedy, obviously and Lu Shixiu are considered bamboo horses, but I still have a grudge about the first six years when he came.

"Mother, I want this, this is pretty." Not far away, a child about four or five years old gently grabbed his mother's clothes and pointed to a paper kite with a tiger and leopard on it and shouted.

"Okay, then you have to be obedient today and stop making trouble." The woman gently rubbed the child's head and said warmly.

"Okay!" The child who received the paper kite hugged his new toy, was overjoyed, and kept nodding in response. Then he ran to a vendor selling candied haws in small steps, looking helplessly at the strings of candied haws. gone.

It wasn't until the woman had no choice but to buy a bunch and handed it to him that she moved her feet with a smile.

This scene is so ordinary, I used to play tricks when I was a child, riding on my father's shoulders and asking him to buy this or that for me.

At that time, I seemed to be a general who pointed out the country, and I could get whatever I wanted, and I was very airy.

Later, when I got older, my dad couldn't bear me anymore. Whenever I saw something on the street on the way home from school, I would run home and drag my dad to pay the bill.

I remember that not long after Lu Shixiu came to Jingzhou, in order for Lu Shixiu to adapt to life in Jingzhou as soon as possible, our two families would often visit the market together.

My mother has always been in poor health, usually my father accompanied me, and Uncle Lu accompanied me on the road.

But along the way, Xiudu was quietly led by Uncle Lu, and when asked what he wanted, the man would only shake his head.

At that time, holding my arms full of toys, I was thinking, why is this person so picky, he can't see anything.

It turned out not to be the case.

When we were going back, Xiu Mingming sneaked a few glances at the shop selling paper kites on the way, but he still didn't say a word, he didn't look like a son raised by a wealthy family, he had no temper.

When we parted, I handed the paper kite in my hand to Lu Shixiu and asked him if he wanted it, and I could give it to him.

Lu Shixiu stared at the paper kite for a long time, finally shook his head, and said crisply, "I don't want it."

I went home with the paper kite and told my mother about it, but my mother just sighed lightly and said that Lu Shixiu might miss his mother.

I didn't understand, but when I got older, I figured it out.

Maybe before Shixiu came to Jingzhou on the way, this man was like a child in an ordinary family, clamoring for paper kites and candied haws from his mother.

He had also been at such an age when he could act like a baby without any scruple, but later he learned to forbear and restrain himself.

Thinking of this, my heart softened, and I involuntarily approached the booth.

"My lord, come and take a look at the paper kites here. They are all new styles." Seeing me approaching, the vendor introduced me enthusiastically.

I picked a paper kite that seemed to suit Lu Shixiu's temperament, with a huge white crane printed on it, as bright as a cloud, spreading its wings and flying.

Then I bought a string of candied haws.

Of course, I took the first bite, and I just wanted to taste the sweetness first for Lu Shixiu.

Coincidentally, as soon as he returned to the inn, he ran into Chu Xu who hadn't seen him for most of the day.

I waved at him: "Chu Xu, look at my paper kite. I just bought it from outside. Does it look good?"

However, he seemed to have something on his mind and didn't hear it. He didn't look at me until I shouted again.

Chu Xu's eyes were a little red, as if he hadn't woken up, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

Chu Xu shook his head lightly: "It's okay, maybe it's a water and soil problem, and I actually had some insomnia yesterday. What is Mr. Yan looking for me for?"

"It's okay, I just want to show you the paper kite I just bought, is it okay?" As I said that, I handed the paper kite in my hand to Chu Xu.

Chu Xu took a look at it, and praised: "This crane looks imposing, a bit arrogant."

In Yu Guangli, Lu Shixiu and Ning Anyuan were coming down from the second floor. I was afraid that Lu Shixiu would overhear my bad words, so I approached Chu Xu, blinked and said in a low voice, "I bought it specially, and this one is the most similar to Lu Shixiu's." Shi Xiu, hehe."

416

"Mr. Yan might as well say it out loud if you have anything to say, there's no need to get so close to Ah Chu."

Ning Anyuan didn't arrive, but the voice came first, and when this person came over, he hugged Chu Xu in his arms, and distanced himself from me abruptly.

From my understanding, Ning Anyuan might be jealous seeing Chu Xu getting too close to me.

Recalling the first time I met this person, I only said a few words to Chu Xu, and it seemed that Ning Anyuan was jealous.

Is Ning Anyuan a vinegar vat?

So jealous.

After thinking about it, Lu Shixiu should fix it, but Lu Shixiu never cared about my social interaction.

417

I carried the kite and moved to Lu Shixiu, and handed him the things in my hand.

Lu Shixiu raised his eyebrows and looked at me in confusion.

"Send it to you, do you want it this time?" I raised my head and asked eagerly.

Hearing this, Lu Shixiu put his outstretched hand in the air, looked straight at me, and asked softly, "Do you still remember what happened all these years?"

"Of course, no one has ever refused something from me before you." I lowered my head and complained in a low voice.

Lu Shixiu smiled: "My fault."

At this moment, there was a light cough, and Ning Anyuan couldn't stand it any longer, and bid us farewell: "Talk slowly, Ah Chu and I are planning to go out for a walk."

As he spoke, he led Chu Xu out the door without waiting for us to reply.

Looking at the backs of the two of them going away, I think that in Chu Xu's state just now, it is best to go back to the house and rest.

418

"What are you thinking about?"

Lu Shixiu seemed to understand my confusion and asked me proactively.

I led Shixiu along the way, and said while going upstairs: "Chu Xu said he suffered from insomnia yesterday, and he must have not had a good rest. I think he should go back to his room to rest."

Lu Shixiu didn't seem surprised, he raised his hand and rubbed my head: "Ning Anyuan has a measure, don't worry."

I nodded.

That's right, people are husband and wife with real names, so they are better than me, an outsider.

419

"what!"

As soon as I entered the room, I suddenly remembered that the candied haws had been forgotten downstairs.

I said how do I feel that something is missing.

"What?" Lu Shixiu asked back.

"You wait for me to get down." It's not easy to use light work in the inn, so I had to go downstairs to fetch the candied haws that fell on the table.

The weather is cold, and the syrup on the outside of the candied haws has not melted, except for the first one that was eaten in my stomach, intact.

"Here you are." I handed the candied haws to Lu Shixiu.

Lu Shixiu took it over and took a look: "Give this to me too?"

I nodded: "What's wrong?"

Lu Shixiu tore open the package of candied haws, looked at it thoughtfully for a while, and asked with a half-smile, "Is this a mouse that stole one?"

When I heard it, I refused to accept it and said, "I'm not stealing, I'm aboveboard."

"Is it delicious?" Lu Shixiu asked me.

When I was looking for ideas, Xiu might be afraid of acid, so I asked.

I nodded quickly and said with a grin: "It's delicious, but it's sweet."

After saying that, Lu Shixiu suddenly took a step closer, gently raised my chin with his left hand, and said in a low voice, "Then let me taste if it's sweet or not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Shixiu covered his cold lips.

420

On the way, Xiu's lips and tongue took up all the air in me and tasted it all over before giving up.

There were still sticky sugar stains on the corners of his lips, and he felt that he had been kissed clean by Lu Shixiu.

"Is it sweet?" I took a rare breath and asked him.

"Sweet." Lu Shixiu replied in a low voice, "It's too sweet."
