After unpacking the roast chicken, Liu Yanqiu handed Gu Qingsheng a chicken leg.
The surface of the chicken leg was golden, and Liu Yanqiu's enthusiasm made it difficult for Gu Qingsheng to refuse.
Picking up the chicken leg, she took a polite bite, but found that it didn't taste good.
The chicken skin was soft and the meat was not chewy, like chewing wax.
She frowned slightly, then moved the chicken leg a little further away. She turned around and was about to ask Liu Yanqiu, but was stunned for a moment.
At some point, Liu Yanqiu had taken off his mask. He showed Gu Qingsheng his side profile with a chicken wing in his mouth.
Probably because he always wears a mask, his skin is so white that it is almost transparent. His eyes are bright and big, and his long eyelashes are as beautiful as two curled fans. The cherry red color of his lips seems to be natural, and because they have just been stained with some oil, they look unusually bright. His whole face exudes a very vivid color, and those curved crescent eyes make people happy when they look at them.
When I looked into his eyes, I found that they were bottomless.
Under the moonlight, there was a person sitting next to Gu Qingsheng who was more beautiful than the moon. His beauty made Gu Qingsheng feel ashamed for a moment, and he even wanted to lower his head.
Liu Yanqiu felt a little strange after not hearing any movement from Gu Qingsheng for a long time. When he turned his head, his eyes met Gu Qingsheng's crystal clear eyes.
As if his little secret had been discovered, Gu Qingsheng turned his head abruptly, but there was already some embarrassment on his face.
"This... this chicken has a slightly off-flavor, it needs to be improved."
Liu Yanqiu slowly retracted his gaze, shrugged as if it was normal, and took another bite of the chicken wing.
"I'm not the chef of that Fengyuan Restaurant. It's already very good that I can make it like this."
"That's just the way you pampered daughters of wealthy families are. You're so picky about everything. It's good enough if you have something to eat."
In order to ease his rude gaze just now, Gu Qingsheng pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly.
"How about I invite Mr. Liu to another restaurant? If Mr. Liu likes chicken, I'll buy a few for him as a return gift, and also as a thank you for helping me."
While chewing the chicken wings, Liu Yanqiu slowly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Qingsheng again. There was some surprise in her beautiful eyes.
"I thought you had to eat those bland soups because you came to Luofo Town, but I didn't expect you didn't know about it?"
His words left Gu Qingsheng somewhat bewildered.
"Don't know what?"
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingsheng looked too confused, Liu Yanqiu felt helpless.
"Luofo Town is located at the foot of Luofo Temple. Do you know Luofo Temple? It's a national temple, and the Master Jingyuan inside is quite divine."
"Due to the influence of Luofo Temple, Luofo Town prohibits killing animals on weekdays. Fish and meat are only served during festivals. Where are the chickens? The chickens here are used for laying eggs. Where can you buy a chicken for me?"
Obviously, these words made Gu Qingsheng stunned.
"No... can't kill? No chickens to sell??"
Even she herself did not notice how strange her tone of voice was. Before Liu Yanqiu could react, Gu Qingsheng came closer.
"There are no chickens for sale in Luofo Town? You can't kill animals? What about the nearby towns? Are there any nearby towns?"
The woman suddenly leaned over, and the fragrance from her body floated over through the thin cloak, like a pot of strong liquor, unexpectedly hitting Liu Yanqiu's heart.
His throat moved, and the words he spoke were still dull.
"There are no other towns nearby. The nearest town is ten miles away..."
As she spoke, Liu Yanqiu's eyes trembled, and her beautiful eyelashes trembled slightly, and she actually became a little flustered.
"Actually, it's okay."
He looked away, his heart in turmoil.
Maybe it's because the night is a bit lonely and the leaves are falling a bit bleakly, so I have this strange feeling in my heart.
Liu Yanqiu thought so.
"I don't need any return gift. It's just a small favor. Besides, didn't you give me one or two taels of silver? It was already too much..."
"Liu Yanqiu! It's you again!!"
There were some lights and noisy voices coming from the hustle and bustle in the distance, and suddenly a sound came from nowhere.
Liu Yanqiu's whole body trembled, and before Gu Qingsheng could react, his hand on his knee was suddenly grabbed!
Suddenly, she heard the sound of wind in her ears, and when she realized it, she had already started running with Liu Yanqiu.
The woman's hands were soft and gentle, even her nails were pink and tender, as charming as the finest mutton-fat jade.
Because of the night wind, the hand was a little cold. Liu Yanqiu's heart was in a state of confusion. Emotions he had never experienced before kept running through his heart. He was shaking a little as he held Gu Qingsheng's hand.
"Um, Mr. Liu, what happened?"
Liu Yanqiu had been fleeing in the market for many years, so escaping was a piece of cake for her at this moment. However, Gu Qingsheng had never experienced such a situation before. When she was in the palace, she even took very small steps.
Now he was running so fast with Liu Yanqiu that he was out of breath in a short while.
"Maybe I was caught stealing that chicken at noon."
He gave Gu Qingsheng a back view. Gu Qingsheng could not see Liu Yanqiu's expression, but he still exclaimed slightly when he heard this.
"Did you steal that chicken?!"
"nonsense!"
He had tried his best to make his voice less panicky, but when he really started to speak, Liu Yanqiu's voice still trembled a little.
"Didn't I say that there's no place selling chickens in Luofo Town? Their chickens are all domestically raised!"
"If they catch us, we'll definitely get beaten! Can you please hurry up..."
Just as he was about to urge Gu Qingsheng, Liu Yanqiu turned his head and saw that Gu Qingsheng's face was red, his lips had turned white, and his breathing became more rapid.
Only then did he realize that he couldn't compare Gu Qingsheng with someone of his status.
Then his pace slowed down, and he pursed his lips, as if thinking about something.
Gu Qingsheng exhaled heavily and waved to Liu Yanqiu
"Don't worry about me, Mr. Liu, I will try my best to keep up with you..."
"Let's climb up."
Looking at the roof in front of him, Liu Yanqiu suddenly said something out of the blue.
The night was getting darker, and there was no light in the place where they were. Neither of them could see each other's faces clearly. For a moment, Gu Qingsheng thought he had misheard.
The house in front of me with its red walls and green tiles is not very high, but climbing up it is not an easy task.
"……What did you say?"
She hesitated and asked again, and got a very sure answer from Liu Yanqiu.
"Let's climb up! Otherwise, we'll definitely be caught up if we keep going like this!"
The noisy sounds behind him came from near to far, and Gu Qingsheng's face turned pale with fear at Liu Yanqiu's words. He waved his hands hurriedly.
"No, no, no... Mr. Liu... we should still..."
"Stop making noise!"
