Chapter 74: Pear of Pear, Shortbread of Shortbread



Li Shu nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help."

She paused, then suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, do you remember the ancient street where we first met?"

Qin Can glanced at her and nodded, "Remember, Master, what's wrong?"

Li Shu retracted her gaze, stretched her legs lazily, and changed into a comfortable sitting position. She spoke in a soothing tone, "When you have time, go there and buy some yellow talisman paper and cinnabar. Then I will teach you how to draw talismans."

Qin Can couldn't suppress his excitement and excitement when he thought about becoming a hermit like Li Shu in the future. "I know, Master, I will definitely study hard!"

Li Shu hummed softly, her raven-black eyelashes slightly closed, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Keep going, little disciple."

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the school gate.

"Master, I'll come see you at noon. I promised to treat you to a meal, but that kid Zhang Zhe got there first." Qin Can parked the car, put his hands casually on the steering wheel, and turned his head to look at the girl in the passenger seat.

Li Shu unbuckled her seat belt and said, "No, I have an appointment at noon. Let's do it next time."

Qin Can nodded, "Okay."

Li Shu opened the car door and got out swiftly. Suddenly, she remembered that she had to go to Chen Bin's residence after dinner. As Qin Can was her direct disciple, she should take him with her. After thinking for a moment, she turned to look at him and asked, "I have a job at one o'clock in the afternoon. Do you want to come?"

Qin Can's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would follow his master to "slay demons and monsters" so soon. He nodded quickly and said, "Come on, come on!"

"Okay, wait for me at the school gate then."

After saying that, Li Shu closed the car door and walked towards the school.

Thinking of telling Chen Bin something, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent him a message while walking.

Tell him that he doesn't need to make a special trip to pick her up in the afternoon, just wait for her at the gate of the community.

The morning's military training passed in a flash, and it was already noon.

Two days later, Li Shu finally appeared in Shen Yu's office again.

"Li Shu, you're finally here!" Huo Yandong looked at the girl who pushed the door open and immediately stood up to greet her. He looked obviously more excited than his fiancé Shen Yu.

Li Shu raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and a strange look fell on him. She said slowly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Huo Yandong realized that he might be too enthusiastic and his purpose was too obvious. He coughed dryly and waved his hand nonchalantly. "Oh, what can I do to you? I just want to tell you that I'm having dinner with you today."

Li Shu hummed, without saying anything more, retracted her gaze, and walked to the single sofa beside her and sat down very consciously. Then she took out three amulets from her pocket and placed them on the coffee table in front of her.

He raised his chin slightly and said to Chen Yu, "Here, your amulet."

Shen Yu picked up the amulet on the coffee table, rubbed it with his slender fingers twice, and suddenly asked: "How was helping others last night?"

Li Shu took off the camouflage cap on her head, with a nonchalant expression on her face. "I'm fine. Thank you Instructor Shen for your concern."

Shen Yu put down the amulet in his hand, picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her, "Let's eat."

Li Shu reached out and took it, "Okay."

Huo Yandong walked over to the other side of Shen Yu and sat down. He glanced at the amulet he had just placed on the sofa, then raised his eyes to look at the girl across from him and said, "Li Shu, can you give me one of your amulets? Or I can buy one. I think your amulet is many times better than the one my mother bought in the temple."

Li Shu raised her eyes and looked at him, "Okay, I'll give you one."

Huo Yandong also picked up the chopsticks and smiled, "Okay!"

For the next period of time, the three of them tacitly agreed not to speak anymore and ate quietly, but they did not feel awkward.

Huo Yandong didn't eat much either. He was the first to put down his chopsticks and wipe the corners of his mouth with a tissue.

He picked up the half-drunk bottle of mineral water on the table, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back to take a sip, then put it down. He then leaned back on the sofa and slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket.

He stole a glance at the girl who was sipping soup, deliberately turned up the volume on his phone, and then clicked on the game.

Li Shu heard the familiar voice, opened her eyelids, glanced at him lazily, and said with a little interest: "You play this game too."

Huo Yandong pretended to be calm and tapped the screen of his phone. "Yeah, you want to play too?"

Li Shu felt a little full from drinking, so she put down the soup in her hand and said calmly, "Let's play."

Seeing this, Huo Yandong smiled and invited, "How about we play a couple of games together? I'm pretty good at gaming, and I definitely won't cheat you."

Li Shu wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue and glanced at the time on her phone. There were still twenty minutes until 1 p.m. "Maybe next time. I have something to go out for later, so I want to rest for a while."

Huo Yandong: "..."

Damn, his perfect plan had failed.

Shen Yu's eyes moved, and he raised his lazy, half-closed eyes slightly and looked at her, "Going to help others again?"

Li Shu's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly, a little surprised. How did this guy know this? "Ah, yes."

Chen Yu looked away thoughtfully, picked up a peace amulet at random, and began to fold it up. "Have you expanded your business from night to day?"

Li Shu touched the tip of her nose and said seriously, "There's nothing I can do. There's no time limit for this. You can do it anytime, anywhere."

Huo Yandong touched the back of his head, a puzzled look on his face. He asked curiously, "No, Brother Yu, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What do you mean by helping others?"

Li Shu lazily leaned back on the sofa and said slowly, "Nothing, just what it says."

Huo Yandong continued to ask: "Who do you want to help? Do you need my help?"

Li Shu crossed her legs, her white hands casually resting on the armrest of the sofa, her dark eyes filled with a sense of contentment, "No need, I can handle it, it's not a difficult task."

Huo Yandong nodded, "That's it."

He paused, not wanting to miss this opportunity today. He raised the phone in his hand and casually asked, "Um, Li Shu, are you good at this game?"

Li Shu tilted her head upon hearing this. Her black and white eyes looked quite pure. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It should be considered impressive."

Huo Yandong said: "What's your game ID? I'll add you, and then we can play together. You can take me flying."

"Sure." Li Shu lowered her legs and sat up straight. "Pear pastry, with the pear of pear and the crispness of shortbread."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Huo Yandong coughed lightly, tactically picked up the mineral water bottle, drank two sips of water, and barely controlled the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.
