Chapter 56 Sugar Painting

The next morning, Yan Ning stood in front of the bronze mirror in his room and tried out the new clothes.

"Why does he like to wear black so much? I was thinking of wearing the same color as him, but this guy didn't buy me black, huh!"

Yan Ning was a little angry, and thought that he could buy a black one when he went out today, but he didn't make any money, so he couldn't keep spending Xie Jingyu's money.

His face was wrinkled with worry, and he was lying in front of the dressing table with his hands on his face.

Xie Jingyu looked at his round cheeks and stroked his hair with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy again? Who has offended our Aning?"

Yan Ning turned around and said seriously: "I want to make money. It's so hard for you to make money alone. I don't even have my own money. It's so annoying!"

Xie Jingyu said nonsense in a serious tone: "Making money? But Aning has a lot of money. The money I used to buy the yard and the money I used to buy clothes for Aning were all Aning's own money. Did Aning forget?"

Yan Ning continued to ask: "Really? Did we know each other before? That's why you saved me,"

Xie Jingyu found the boots under the bed, but he was not wearing shoes. He held the shoes and squatted under Yan Ning's legs: "Well, Aning used to be my little wife, but I accidentally lost her."

Yan Ning kicked Xie Jingyu with his white toes, covering his face in shame and anger. He was no longer the pure Yan Ning he used to be. He could not stand this man's teasing anymore.

"Ah~ You're annoying, talking nonsense again!"

Xie Jingyu grabbed the rebellious foot and put a sock on it.

"I'm not kidding, really! Aning wasn't called this name before,"

Yan Ning took the initiative to hand him his other foot, pulled him and asked: "Ah, then what is my name? Tell me quickly, I know I am not Yan Ning."

Xie Jingyu stroked Yan Ning's bare foot and smiled mischievously: "Kiss me and I'll tell you."

Yan Ning scratched his head, ready to sacrifice his looks, "You...Okay, then you have to keep your promise and don't lie to me!"

He looked at Xie Jingyu's determined eyes, kissed his handsome face, and then winked at him to signal Xie Jingyu to speak quickly.

Xie Jingyu raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction and put on his boots: "Wei Qingcheng, Wei Zifu's Wei, Qingcheng who can conquer the city with a smile,"

Yan Ning was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore. He had kissed him, but he was still talking nonsense. He pouted and angrily scolded Xie Jingyu: "You lied to me! How can there be a boy with this name?"

Xie Jingyu put on his shoes, stood up and helped him straighten his clothes, and then held his face: "I'm not lying to you, Qingcheng, do you really not remember anything? You were born weak, it was an old Taoist idea, a trick to change the sky and the day, "

Wei Qingcheng felt that these things were indeed familiar, but her memory was still blank.

He pulled down Xie Jingyu's hand that was touching his face. After a while, his face became hot. He didn't want to let this person feel it again, otherwise he would laugh at himself again.

"It seems familiar, so can you tell me more? If you tell me more, I might remember everything. Am I really your... um... wife?"

Xie Jingyu hooked his nose and nodded affirmatively: "Of course, I won't lie to you, your father... mother..."

He recounted the story of Wei Qingcheng from birth to the present. After listening, Wei Qingcheng frowned and said with an indescribable expression: "You...you...you just touched my feet, and now you touch my face!"

Xie Jingyu didn't dislike him. In his eyes, Wei Qingcheng was clean from head to toe.

But Wei Qingcheng couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to wash her face again.

…

By the time the two of them had finished packing, it was already noon. It was still very hot in Jiangnan in April. Xie Jingyu held a fan and fanned people as he walked.

Wei Qingcheng seemed to have believed that she had been married to Xie Jingyu, and she enjoyed his service with peace of mind.

Seeing the candy painting seller running away again, Xie Jingyu took out his gradually flattened purse again.

"Can this be used to draw people?" He asked the boss while holding a sugar painting in the shape of a dragon.

The boss wiped his hands embarrassedly and pointed at the several sample sugar paintings in front of Wei Qingcheng: "I have never painted people, only the styles you see."

Xie Jingyu looked at Wei Qingcheng's interested expression and said to the vendor, "Add more money."

The sugar painting boss picked up the sugar spoon and started to work, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Okay! Sir, please watch!"

Just as a drop of sugar dripped onto the paper, he looked up as if remembering something.

"Sir, what kind of character do you want to draw?"

Wei Qingcheng pointed at herself, then at Xie Jingyu.

"Draw the two of us, connected together, strung on a bamboo stick,"

Xie Jingyu took out some change and handed it to the boss: "Paint it well, no need for change, the rest is yours."

I thought the money was well spent, and I could hear Qingcheng express her feelings in such a way.

"Okay!"

After the sugar painting owner finished speaking, he scooped another spoonful of boiling sugar juice and drew two little people on the oil paper. The taller one hugged the shorter one.

The boss just thought they were good brothers, so he could only come up with this "joined together" pose for the two brothers. Otherwise, how else could they join together...

Wei Qingcheng held the sparkling sugar painting and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! I can't bear to eat it."

Seeing that his saliva was about to flow out, but he was reluctant to move his mouth, Xie Jingyu helped him.

"If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it. Don't waste it."

Wei Qingcheng glared at him in reproach and complained, "No! Why are you like this? You don't know what I'm thinking at all, humph!"

Xie Jingyu nodded. He naturally knew what Wei Qingcheng was thinking, but he just wanted to hear him say it.

There were too many people on the street, so he had to pat Wei Qingcheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, eat quickly, we'll find someone to draw your portrait later."

Wei Qingcheng was somewhat happy that his little thoughts were being taken care of. He protected the sugar painting with his hands and handed it over carefully: "Then you eat it too."

I gave him the first bite. I really love him so much, Wei Qingcheng thought.

Who knew that the man didn't eat the side away from him, but licked the little person painted with his own image, with the red tip of his tongue sticking out, looking beautiful and charming.

Wei Qingcheng didn't know what he was thinking about. After the man finished eating, he also licked the little man-like person.

Blushing, I followed the others and continued walking.

When we arrived at the jewelry store, we saw Qi Yu sitting on a chair drinking tea. Several servants were standing in front of her carrying square plates filled with jewelry.

Xie Jingyu's heart skipped a beat, but in order to prevent Wei Qingcheng from getting suspicious, he still accompanied him.

Wei Qingcheng walked happily to Qi Yu: "Sister Qi Yu! Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? I'm here to buy some jewelry. What do you want to buy? I'll recommend some to you. I'm your sister Qi Yu, and I'm an expert now!"
