"It depends on the standards of each place. I'm not sure about the local standards..." Lu Qingyu suppressed his panic and gave an ambiguous answer.

But the voice was getting smaller and smaller, and anyone could see at a glance that he was guilty.

Shu Miao blinked, her eyes wandering thoughtfully on his face, "How old are you?"

"I, I'm eighteen today!" Lu Qingyu stiffened his neck and looked away, refusing to look at her.

"Oh~ So it's okay not to be eighteen?"

He broke out in a cold sweat under the girl's teasing gaze. Afraid that she would notice something, he spoke again in a serious tone.

"I'm really eighteen!"

The boy's voice, which originally had a calm tone, became bright and crisp in response precisely because of his nervousness at the moment.

Not to mention the other party, even Shu Miao was dumbfounded.

My eyes subconsciously swept to his white neck, and as expected, I didn't see any obvious Adam's apple, and I suddenly realized what was going on.

She said, it seems that this guy is not only not eighteen, it’s not certain whether he is even sixteen!

As for whether it would be smaller, she said that even if the supervision at this time was not stricter, it would not be that outrageous, right?

"You, I..." Her look of knowing everything made Lu Qingyu so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word.

He was so depressed that he simply turned his head away and stopped looking at her. He was afraid that if he continued talking, the other party would find out all his secrets.

Seeing the boy's embarrassment and awkwardness, Shu Miao wondered for a moment if he was being too direct in his inquiry.

The next moment, she suddenly remembered whether he had just told her that he would be 18 years old today.

Although he is relatively young to turn 18, the possibility of him turning one year old today is still quite high.

After thinking for a while, Shu Miao jumped out of the closet, broke off the lucky four-leaf clover he had just seen, and handed it to him.

"Give!"

Lu Qingyu's body froze again when he heard that. He turned his head and saw a piece of Oxalis (cu, pronounced the same as "vinegar") leaf close at hand.

Seeing that he was still willing to pay attention to her, Shu Miao was about to express her blessings, but Lu Qingyu, whose brain had short-circuited for a moment, was one step faster than her.

He took the wood sorrel and stuffed the leaves and stems into his mouth without thinking.

At the end, he did not forget to give the girl a smile that he thought was gentle.

Shu Miao's eyes widened slightly: Hello?

This is a rare lucky four-leaf clover among clovers!

You just ate it like that?

But the boy in front of her had slightly chubby cheeks that moved, and his curved eyebrows and eyes looked at her with a smile, which made her too embarrassed to say anything.

So I had to settle for the next best thing and plucked a few more purple clover flowers and handed them to him again.

"Happy birthday!"

Lu Qingyu stared at the tender pink oxalis flowers before him, and only then did he realize that he had just been so excited that he had chewed the birthday present...

His face was visibly red, but he still reached out to take the flowers, lowered his eyes and said softly,

"Thanks."

Seeing that the atmosphere around him had returned to its usual gentle state, she knew that the matter was over and had no intention of continuing to accompany him.

If possible, she naturally hoped that the other party would accept her food to thank him for his help to her family.

But the other party was unmoved by any persuasion. Since she couldn't deliver the goods, this was all she could do.

But before leaving, seeing that he was still silent, Shu Miao was a little surprised and couldn't help asking again,

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Lu Qingyu came back to his senses from his daze, looked up at the girl's big, round, black eyes, and shook his head with a smile.

The corners of his mouth slowly rose, and his brilliant smile was as clean as the warm sun in the sky, without a trace of impurities, making people feel warm.

Shu Miao admitted that she was amazed by his bright smile. She had long forgotten what she had just asked and looked him up and down in curiosity.

“You look so pretty when you smile!”

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Zili suddenly jumped out from the side, baring his big teeth and approaching Shu Miao.

"Hehe, am I handsome too?"

Shu Miao looked at him seriously for a few seconds, and in his expectant gaze, he said truthfully,

"You look kind of funny!"

"Puchi! Cough cough cough..." Lu Qingyu, who accidentally broke his concentration, quickly turned his head to look at the grass on the ground, but the corners of his mouth were still rising uncontrollably.

The smile on Zili's face froze, and the next second, the Hedong Lion Roar skill was activated again, "Shu Miao——!"

"I'm never going to play with you again!" He was howling fiercely, but he was actually chasing Shu Miao relentlessly.

Shu Miao easily distanced herself from him and circled around the luggage. She barely suppressed the urge to burst out laughing and explained,

"Well, well, what I said is true. I don't laugh when I see others laugh. I only laugh when I see you laugh."

Zili was stunned by her words and stopped hesitantly.

Shu Miao tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, raised the paper bag in his hand, and looked at her sincerely.

"If you don't believe me, look! I haven't even touched the dried sweet potatoes yet. I'm just waiting for you to eat them together!"

When he saw the food, Zili's eyes instantly brightened up, and his desire to teach her a lesson wavered.

"Then, then I'll believe you this time!" He folded his arms across his chest and glanced at her arrogantly, his meaning was self-evident.

Shu Miao immediately handed the dried sweet potatoes to him, turned around and looked at Comrade Xiao Lu's back as he quietly left, feeling a little regretful.

Such a beautiful person, from now on we will never meet again...
