He dusted himself off and stood there, looking at the driver with some fear.
"It's okay, come here."
Gu Qingsheng waved at him. After hearing what Gu Qingsheng said, the coachman coughed and looked away from the little beggar. This made the little beggar no longer so panicked. He ran to Gu Qingsheng's carriage, carefully took out a shiny apple from his arms, held it in both hands, and tiptoed to hand the apple to her through the window.
The weather was just right, and the sunlight shone on the apples, making the skin seem to glow. Gu Qingsheng didn't know if it was an illusion, but she could smell the fragrance of the apples even from a long distance away.
The child was dirty, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. He was obviously starving, but all he wanted was to be able to accept this thing.
For a moment, Gu Qingsheng's brain was suddenly flooded with turbulent emotions.
"Don't answer it, Qing'er, it's so dirty. Who knows what disease this child might have..."
Lin thought she was being very kind when she reminded Gu Qingsheng. Gu Qingsheng lowered the carriage curtains. The child's hands retreated a little, and the bright hope in his eyes gradually faded.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his toes with a very lonely look.
Lin thought Gu Qingsheng had listened to her, but before she could be happy, she suddenly lifted the car curtain and walked down slowly without even looking at her.
There were people coming and going on this street, and there were also many official carriages going to the palace.
It was definitely inappropriate for Gu Qingsheng to get out of the car like this in public.
"Chiangmori."
Prince Duan called her lightly, and looked back at Gu Qingsheng calmly.
"Father, I know my limits."
He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and tied it around his face, revealing only his eyebrows and eyes, then slowly got off the carriage.
The little beggar was about to leave, but just as he took a step, he keenly felt a fragrant breeze behind him.
He turned his head blankly, and in a blink of an eye he saw a pair of smiling eyes that curved into crescents. The pair of white jade hands did not think they were dirty, and reached out to touch his head.
The little beggar was dazed, as if he suddenly reacted and quickly stepped back to avoid Gu Qingsheng's hand, but his face was red. He raised his hands above his head and closed his eyes tightly.
The closer you get, the more you can smell the apples.
"This is for me, right?"
The tone of her question was also filled with laughter, which made the little beggar's ears redden to the tips. He lowered his head and nodded vigorously.
“Thank you…thank you…”
The stuttering voice was still a little childish. Gu Qingsheng took the apple from his hand without wiping it. He lifted half of the veil and passed it to his mouth, then took a bite with a "crunch".
A tiny mark on the apple reveals a delicate tooth mark
"Thank you too, it's delicious."
After being praised by Gu Qingsheng, the little beggar seemed to be bitten by something and ran away in panic, revealing his extremely red cheeks as he ran.
Gu Qingsheng looked at the little beggar's back with some surprise, and slowly got on the carriage. As soon as he lifted the curtain, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, and his hair felt loose, and the veil on his face was blown away. Accompanied by the wind, the white handkerchief flew farther and farther away.
The sky in the distance was blue. Gu Qingsheng watched the handkerchief fly away without thinking much. After entering, he lowered the curtain and took another bite of the apple in front of Lin.
Even though the disgust in Lin's eyes was deeply concealed, Gu Qingsheng still saw it.
However, she had already reminded Gu Qingsheng just now, but Gu Qingsheng didn't listen, so when he saw this situation, he could only stop talking and looked at Prince Duan with some pleading.
"Why do you eat anything people on the street give you?"
This behavior naturally made Prince Duan a little unhappy. Looking at the apple in Gu Qingsheng's hand, he was not worried about anything else, but what to do if someone with ulterior motives poisoned these things?
"It's okay, father."
A word of comfort to Prince Duan
"I know this kid."
…
In the dark alley, a small figure ran past in panic.
And deep in the alley, a larger figure was waiting for him. Seeing the little beggar hurrying over, he ran towards him excitedly.
"How is it! How is it!"
The alley gradually became brighter, and the man's face gradually appeared. It was the older child who was beaten last time.
His eyes sparkled as he looked at the little beggar's red face.
"How is it? Did she accept it? Is she okay? Does she remember you? Does she remember us?"
The little beggar exhaled twice and nodded.
"She...she's very good, she still remembers us..."
These words made the older child breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything else, a figure came in from the entrance of the alley.
The man was wearing a dark red robe and had a handsome face. He was waving a white handkerchief in his hand.
It can be seen that it was the one that Gu Qingsheng had just been blown away.
"I started thinking about these things at such a young age."
Liu Yanqiu squatted down near the two children. The older child cautiously protected the little beggar behind him and stared at Liu Yanqiu.
"Who are you?"
"I'm nobody either."
He smiled, revealing two small canine teeth, and put the handkerchief in his hand back into his arms.
"I originally wanted to ask you to do something, but now it seems that there is something more important."
Reaching out to pat the older child on the head, Liu Yanqiu's words were filled with laughter, but his tone was full of joking.
"She's mine, understand? She's not for you kids to covet."
"Pooh!"
Shaking off Liu Yanqiu's hand, the older child spat at him.
"That's not up to you to decide!"
“Yo!”
Liu Yanqiu raised his eyebrows
"Very spirited."
He took out a bag of silver from his pocket and threw it in front of the two children, then raised his chin towards them.
"What are your names?"
The silver in the purse gleamed, and they hesitated for a moment, and the older child spoke.
"Axing..."
Since Ah Xing had spoken, the little beggar nodded and said timidly
"Ayue..."
Well, although he admitted that he looked very handsome when he was throwing the silver just now, Liu Yanqiu still couldn't help feeling sad when he saw the silver on the ground.
This is what he earned from selling candied haws... a long time of savings.
hiss……
"What's your matter? Who are you?"
Even though the other party offered such good conditions, Ah Xing remained vigilant and did not rush to grab it. He just looked at Liu Yanqiu with a pout, his burning eyes trying to see something.
"It doesn't matter who it is."
Liu Yanqiu approached them
"I want you to help me with something."
He whispered something in Ah Xing's ear, and Ah Xing seemed to be very frightened. She quickly dodged and looked at him, shaking her head.
"No, no, no! This kind of thing is really...Ayue and I just want to live a peaceful and stable life..."
"Safe and sound?"
Liu Yanqiu asked in a higher tone.
