Chapter 152 Sweetness
This cleared the neighbor next door of suspicion, and all we had to do was find evidence that the butcher had committed murder.
These were not difficult. They searched the butcher's house inside and out, even dug up the ground, and found blood-stained strips of cloth, which they confirmed were the clothes worn by the deceased.
After Shen Shixu read the summary he wrote, he was very satisfied with the progress of the two of them, so he decided to reward them.
In addition to the bonus, Shen Shixu took them to the sweet drink shop that Qiu Yan told him about.
Jiang Bin and Zhang Ming didn't know there was such a store in Beijing. Looking at the drinks they had never tasted before, they were all very interested.
They didn't pretend to be polite with Shen Shixu, and they all chose what they were interested in, and they liked it as soon as they drank it.
"Well, this lychee wine is quite delicious. It's not as spicy as the other wines. Instead, it has a sweet taste. I think mother will like it. Let's buy some to take back when we leave later."
"This milk tea is also very delicious. It has a milky flavor but not too strong. There are also pearls in it. They are bouncy and interesting. I will bring a few cups back for my sister and others to try."
While the two of them were drinking, Shen Shixu was also drinking a cup of milk tea in his hand, drinking while walking around the beverage shop.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the person who opened this store was also from another world like him. The menu was posted on the wall, with all the drinks in the store written on it, and the prices of the drinks next to it.
Many of the drinks listed above are not available at Da Gan, such as milk tea, which also has many types, including the pearl milk tea that Zhang Ming just mentioned, as well as red bean milk tea, strawberry milk tea, taro milk tea...
In addition to these, there are other drinks, such as honey grapefruit tea, mango juice, strawberry juice, osmanthus sour plum soup...
Even the marketing model is very modern, for example, the second cup is half price, couples’ packages are discounted, and there are coupons.
The more Shen Shixu looked at it, the more determined he was in his mind. He walked to the counter and knocked on the table in front of him, so he looked at his counter in confusion and said, "Little brother, please help me tell your boss a message, odd numbers change but even numbers don't."
The counter didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but seeing the copper plate handed over by Shen Shixu, he assured Shen Shixu, “Don’t worry, customer, I will definitely convey this sentence to our boss.”
Shen Shixu nodded, bought three more drinks and left.
He did not return to his own residence, but came to Prince Jing's Mansion.
At this time, Xiao Jinyi was sparring with Bai He and others in the martial arts arena. Bai He and Mo Yu together were no match for Xiao Jinyi and were defeated one by one by Xiao Jinyi.
The two men were so tired that they half-knelt on the field. Mo Yu shouted, "Come on or not, we have been fighting for the whole morning. If Your Majesty is not tired, we are almost dead from exhaustion.
Besides, the weather is so nice, why doesn’t the prince go out for a walk with the master?
Also, Your Majesty, have you ever been close to the Lord? It seems like you two have a very good relationship, but there's no special intimate contact between you. It's not as good as between Bai He and me!
Although we got together late, we didn't miss any kisses or hugs, except for the last step. ”
Xiao Jinyi lowered his head and pondered after listening to Mo Yu's words, then raised the spear in his hand and knocked the two people on their bodies, saying: "A Xu is a scholar who values etiquette and will not cross the line before getting married. Do you think everyone is like you two, impatient warriors?"
Mo Yu rolled his eyes at his words. He gave a kind reminder, but the other person protected his wife everywhere. He really took his kindness for granted.
“Ahem!”
Hearing the cough, Xiao Jinyi and the others looked over and saw Shen Shixu walking over with something in his hand.
Mo Yu hid behind Bai He with a guilty conscience. He was just whispering to someone behind his back, and he didn't know if Shen Shixu heard it.
"I got off work early today and went to the sweet drink shop Yan'er mentioned. I had some drinks and brought them to you. Come and try them."
Mo Yu began to feel guilty again at this time. Shen Shixu didn't forget to buy them a drink, but he was still teasing them behind their backs.
So when he went over to get the milk tea, Mo Yu whispered sorry to Shen Shixu.
Shen Shixu smiled and seemed not angry.
Without waiting for Xiao Jinyi to come over and get it himself, Shen Shixu handed over the drink he had specially reserved for him and said, "Let's go drink over there. I have something to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyi put away his spear and took Shen Shixu to his study. As soon as the door of the study was closed, Xiao Jinyi was pushed against the door panel by Shen Shixu.
Xiao Jinyi looked at Shen Shixu in surprise, not understanding what he was going to do, but he did not resist.
If he wanted to resist, ten Shen Shixu would not be his match.
After Shen Shixu pressed him against the door panel, he stood on tiptoe, put his arms around Xiao Jinyi's neck, and tilted his head back as he moved closer to him.
Under Xiao Jinyi's nervous and expectant eyes, Shen Shixu's red, hot lips pressed against Xiao Jinyi's lips.
Shen Shixu was half-sticking to Xiao Jinyi's body, and clearly felt his body collapse in an instant.
At this moment, he felt an indescribable sense of guilt in his heart. He had clearly promised Xiao Jinyi, but as Xiao Jinyi's boyfriend, it seemed that he had not given her any benefits.
On the contrary, Xiao Jinyi was always by his side. As long as he turned around, Xiao Jinyi was always by his side, giving him a great sense of security.
Xiao Jinyi learned kissing naturally. Except for a moment of hesitation at the beginning, he soon took the initiative.
He put one hand around Shen Shixu's waist to make him stick closer to him, and with the other hand pressed on the back of Shen Shixu's head, he kissed him deeply, their lips and teeth entangled, and a few strands of transparent silver threads dripped down from the place where the two were touching.
The two kissed for a quarter of an hour, and when they separated, both of their lips were a little red and swollen.
Shen Shixu's legs were still a little weak, so he put his arms around Xiao Jinyi's neck and hung on him, putting all his weight on him.
Xiao Jinyi held Shen Shixu steadily, and walked a few steps forward with him, then sat down on the chair.
Shen Shixu sat on his legs and hugged his neck, his forehead pressed against his, their breaths entwined.
"Jin Yi, my parents and brother will arrive in the capital in two days."
When Xiao Jinyi heard this, his eyes lit up, "Great, I'll go to the palace later and ask my father to choose a date for the two of us."
Shen Shixu was also looking forward to the two of them getting married. "Okay, then I can start preparing my dowry. After all, I'm marrying a prince, and I can't afford a poor dowry."
Hearing Shen Shixu mention the dowry, Xiao Jinyi also thought of the betrothal gifts. He planned to empty his private vault. In addition to these, he would also go to the palace to ask his father, mother and brother for some good things.
After all, their son and younger brother are getting married, how can they, as relatives, not give something?
