Shi Zengyue said, "I told you to wait a moment, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Shi Wangting stood at the door and peeked in. He wanted to follow them but was too embarrassed. After peeking in for a while, he thought that it would be boring for him to follow Mo Huai and Shi Zengyue, so he gave up and went back into the house.

"If you go back too late, you won't be able to catch the ox cart back to the village. If you go back early, you can buy some things on the way to take home." Tao Wenwen said.

The sun was still very strong in the afternoon. Tao Wen was so hot that he had to wipe the sweat off his face and exhale. After walking for a while, his clothes got wet and his shoulders slumped with fatigue.

In the eyes of Shi Mohuai and Shi Zengyue, this scene was as if a child who had lost his mother had to return home alone and destitute. They immediately felt uncomfortable.

The two of them looked at each other, pushing each other to talk to Tao Wenwen, trying to ease her sadness.

Tao Wenwen heard the noise behind her and turned around. What she saw was Shi Mohuai and Shi Zengyue acting as childish as children.

"I'm fine." Guessing their thoughts, Tao Wenwen took the initiative to say, "I'm really just hot. Don't overthink it."

The two grown men, whose thoughts were guessed, felt embarrassed in front of Tao Wenwen. Shi Mohuai laughed and tried to make excuses, "No, I was just joking with... Zengyue and I."

"It's really hot today." Shi Zengyue said embarrassedly.

There happened to be a man selling popsicles on the street as the three people passed by.

Shi Zengyue's eyes lit up, and he pointed at the vendor selling popsicles and said, "Otherwise, we'll treat you to some popsicles. Let's go!"

The two men didn't wait for Tao Wenwen to answer. One of them held one of her arms and walked to the popsicle vendor. Tao Wenwen's feet were off the ground.

The peddler looked at Shi Mohuai with a ferocious expression. Two people were holding a girl to buy popsicles. Could it be that they were bad guys trying to use a popsicle to lure the girl?

The vendor speculated about a big drama in his heart. Seeing that the expressions of Shi Mohuai and Shi Zengyue were slowly changing, he asked Tao Wenwen indirectly, "Little girl, who are these two people to you?"

Shi Mohuai caught the peddler's expression and glared at him, looking even more ferocious than before.

Shi Zengyue also questioned dissatisfiedly: "Old man, what do you mean by this? Is it illegal for us, the eldest and third brothers, to buy her a popsicle?"

These days, gangsters call themselves the big brother, the second brother, and the third brother.

The vendor was even more frightened when he heard this. He reached into the box to take out the popsicle, but his eyes kept looking around, thinking about how to shout to get more people to help the poor girl in front of him.

Shi Zengyue was also feeling very hot. Looking at the popsicles that the vendor took out, he immediately tore open the bag and handed it to Tao Wenwen. Then he gave one of the two popsicles in his hand to Shi Mohuai, tore the bag himself, took a bite, and reached into his pocket for money.

When I rummaged around, I remembered that I had changed my clothes while taking a shower, and the money and things in my pockets were still in my clothes and pants.

He nudged Shi Mohuai with his elbow and whispered, "I left my money at home while I was taking a shower. You come and pay for it."

Shi Mohuai also took a shower and had dinner after that. His pockets were empty because he didn't bring anything with him.

The two of them stared at each other, looking at the popsicles they had already eaten. They were suddenly embarrassed and wished they could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it and never show up again.

It's so embarrassing, what should I do?
