Xiao Cheng looked at the girl with slightly flushed cheeks, his deep eyes filled with layers of smiles.
"nice."
Instead of acknowledging it or saying "um" or "oh," he gave a two-word affirmative evaluation.
So directly praising Bai Lu's beauty!
Wang Cuihua was utterly defeated. She retreated step by step, covered her face, and ran away.
I only realized after I left that I had forgotten to take the scales.
He hurriedly ran back to get the scale.
She's not as smart as Bai Lu, not as pretty, and doesn't have the pleasant voice. If she can't earn money, Brother Xiao Cheng will look down on her even less.
Wang Cuihua burst into tears as soon as she got on her bicycle.
Wen Xiuyun and Wu Fangli were sensible enough not to disturb the young couple's affectionate moment any longer, and left after praising them.
Go sell chestnuts and make big money!
Xiao Wei is a sensible and good child. He picked up the big radish on the table and ran back to the kitchen to wash it.
They even stopped using the vegetable washing basin in the yard, afraid that they might accidentally see something they shouldn't.
Xiao Cheng wanted to replace the tea in the teapot with wine.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lu pulled him back into the room the next second, and before closing the door, she cautiously looked left and right.
It seemed they were about to do something and, fearing Xiao Wei would discover them, they made sure to close the doors and windows.
Xiao Cheng was pressed into a chair at the table by the window, his eyes fixed on the girl in front of him, a look of anticipation rising in them.
Bai Lu's smile was exceptionally sweet, and her voice was exceptionally gentle: "Thank you."
Xiao Cheng: "..."
Is there anything else?
Bai Lu blinked her puzzled eyes: "What?"
Xiao Cheng frowned, his displeasure quite evident.
Bai Lu suddenly remembered what she wanted to say: "Did you buy clothes for Xiao Wei?"
Xiao Cheng replied indifferently, "I didn't buy it."
Now it was Bailu's turn to frown: "Where are the shoes?"
"without."
He finds it annoying to even say an extra word.
Bai Lu frowned even more: "What about other gifts? Food, household items, toys, anything is fine."
A surge of annoyance rose in Xiao Cheng's eyes: "No."
Seeing that Bai Lu still wanted to ask, he simply took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and gave it to Bai Lu, saying, "If you want to buy it, then buy it for him."
Bai Lu glanced at the hundred yuan in front of her, then looked up to meet Xiao Cheng's increasingly unpleasant expression. She took a deep breath and mustered her courage.
Looking at Xiao Cheng with tender eyes, she said earnestly, "While you were away, Xiao Wei helped me a lot. He helped me wash chestnuts, wash baskets, wash sand, take care of the house, wash dishes and vegetables to feed the chickens, cut weeds outside the vegetable garden to feed the fish, and water the vegetables in the garden."
"Moreover, Xiaowei misses you very much. Every night he takes a shower and does his laundry early and stays by the phone just to say a few words to you. Last night you didn't call back, so he waited until 11 o'clock. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the table but didn't want to go back to his room, afraid of missing your call."
Xiao Cheng was unsure whether he was moved by Bai Lu's explanation or softened by her gaze, and he took back the hundred yuan.
The irritation in my eyes has also subsided considerably.
But he remained silent.
Bai Lu knew he had taken her words to heart, so she softened her tone even more: "It's okay if you forgot to buy them. It's almost lunchtime, let's go to the market together. Why don't you pick out a new pair of shoes for Xiao Wei? He'll definitely like them."
Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu, his eyes clearly showing resistance, but when he met her smiling eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
Silence is probably the most tactful way to express oneself.
Bai Lu knew he had agreed, so she pulled him up and started to walk outside. But before she could even take a step, she was picked up and put on the table by the window in the blink of an eye.
The golden sunlight outside the window shone on her back, spreading out and bathing her hair in a golden glow.
A halo of light, split in two, fell upon the man's incomparably handsome face, highlighting his sharply defined, cold features.
His deep, dark eyes reflected her face, growing larger and larger, his crisp breath drawing ever closer.
A faint scent of roses drifted through the slightly ajar window, mingling with the crisp, clean air.
It shattered a soft halo of light on the ground.
"What...what are you going to do?" Bai Lu leaned back repeatedly, her hands gripping the table nervously.
Xiao Cheng stopped very close to her nose, and reached his long, slender hand towards her waist.
Bai Lu instinctively leaned back again, but her waist was already at its lowest point, and she fell down without warning.
He fell into... an unexpected large palm.
Xiao Cheng switched hands to steady her waist, while the other hand continued to reach behind her. At the same time, his words, spoken with utmost seriousness, slowly reached her ears.
"Tie your belt before you go to the market."
The coat is short, with a slim fit and a cinched waist. It comes with a matching belt in the same color, which you can wear or not.
It's neither too hot nor too cold now, so we don't really need to wear a belt.
Bai Lu looked at the handsome face so close to hers, her heart skipped a beat, then another: "The weather isn't cold now, you don't need to wear your coat belt, it's not cold..."
Xiao Cheng, however, felt that he should tie it, and as soon as Bai Lu finished speaking, he accurately took out the white belt from the clothing bag.
"Thank you." Bai Lu reached out to take the belt, but reality took an unexpected turn.
No, the belt will take her on a winding mountain road.
It went around in circles and was still in Xiao Cheng's hands.
Xiao Cheng held the belt in his right hand, passing it behind her and stopping at her lower back. His left hand, which was steady on her waist, took one end of the belt and gently helped her to lie flat and stable.
It slowly circled back along the waist.
The speed is so slow... it's agonizing.
Bai Lu was locked in by Xiao Cheng's dark gaze. His deep, abyss-like eyes reflected a powerful, captivating magnetism that drew her involuntarily.
Like being bewitched, I wanted to touch the deepest secret hidden in his heart and dig out more clues.
I want to see where he's been, who he's met, and whether he's made any deals.
A refreshing breeze suddenly entered her breath, and Bai Lu instantly regained consciousness, breaking free from her memories of her past life.
He was panting heavily.
Suddenly raising her eyes, she met Xiao Cheng's questioning gaze, which was so close to hers, and quickly lowered her head.
He stared at the large hands that had been adjusting his coat and fastening his belt, but had now stopped.
"How about I tie it?"
He seemed to have no idea how to tie it; after trying for a while, the belt was still in his hand, but his hand was on her waist.
Xiao Cheng loosened his belt, but instead of giving it to Bai Lu, he gave it to his other hand.
With her free hand, she raised it to Bai Lu's forehead and wiped away the fine layer of cold sweat.
With gentle movements, every tiny bead of cold sweat from her forehead to her temples was wiped away by her black sleeve.
Only after the White Dew solar term did I belatedly look up.
Xiao Cheng withdrew his hand and moved to her equally sweaty back, pulling her into his arms and patting her gently in a comforting manner.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Bai Lu pushed him away, but her legs went weak when she got off the table. She had to support herself with her hands on the table to stand up.
Xiao Cheng frowned slightly, subtly withdrawing his outstretched hand, concealing the worry in his eyes.
Bai Lu quickly calmed herself down, looked up at him and gave him a generous and appropriate smile: "I suddenly feel a little hot, and this outfit is not suitable for me. I'd better change it first. You go out and wait for me for a moment, I'll be done soon."
My darlings, tomorrow's update time will be changed to 11:30 PM, a massive 10,000-word update.
