Chapter 428: Deep Mansion (Sixteen)
The neck under the fingertips is slender and beautiful... It seems to be even better than I imagined when I touch it.
His fingertips lightly touched the bruises, and those marks were like mutton-fat jade washed by rain, gradually regaining their original whiteness.
Then, the young man's body shrank unnaturally, Yuan's fingertips on him paused slightly, the dark color in his eyes deepened, and the dark tide lost its luster.
He pursed his lips and slowly lifted his eyelids, thinking that the young man was afraid, and immediately asked unhappily: "You..."
Before he could finish his words, the person in front of him suddenly took a step back, avoiding his touch and suddenly raised his head.
There was an unexpected smile on the other person's face, and the corners of his eyes were red, the color was particularly bright and eye-catching.
The next second, uncontrollable laughter escaped from the young man's throat: "Hahahaha, stop it! It's so itchy."
“…”
Yuan looked at the other person expressionlessly for a while, then walked away.
Yu Huo followed behind him, grumbling unconvincedly, "No, how did you know my ticklish spot is on my neck? How could you be so insidious?"
Yuan now felt that he had no desire for a peaceful life anymore. He just wanted to reach out and cover the other person's noisy mouth.
When he walked into the dining room and saw the colorful dish on the table... let's just classify it as a 'stir-fried dish', Yuan suddenly lost his appetite. He walked over and pushed it directly to the culprit without even tasting it.
"Here you go."
Yu Huo's smile disappeared instantly, and he shook his head in denial: "I've eaten."
Yuan lowered his eyes, picked up his chopsticks, and flipped through the contents of the plate: black bell peppers, bloodshot chicken, and carrot cubes that looked like they were sprinkled directly onto the plate without any oil...
He really didn't have the courage to taste it, so he put down his chopsticks again, met the other person's eager gaze, and asked, "What did you eat?"
Yu Huo: "Bread."
"Only bread?"
Yu Huo tutted his words, "If not bread, what to eat? Dirt? I'm not that poor yet."
Yuan choked, took a deep breath, and didn't get angry: "Eating only bread is not nutritious."
Yu Huo paused after hearing this, and warily glanced at the dish on the table whose contents were indistinguishable. He quickly said, "It's okay. I'm no longer at the age where I need to supplement my nutrition."
Yu Huo didn't know if his little thoughts were noticed by the other party, but he felt that the man looked at him with condemnation, and even waved his hand at him unhappily: "You, go boil some water."
“…”
Yu Huo didn't understand and protested with his eyes wide open: "Excuse me, do you have any obsession with hot water?"
Yuan shrugged innocently: "No, I asked you to boil water because... you only know how to boil water."
Yu Huo lost his temper instantly: "I understand, you just can't stand me being idle?"
"How clever."
The man gave a fake professional smile, looking like he deserved a beating.
Yu Huo knew that he couldn't win, so he could only suppress the urge to hit and turned away.
After the young man left, Yuan lowered his head and stared at the dishes on the table for a full three seconds before rolling up his sleeves and silently picking up the knife on the chopping board...
Here, Yu Huo sat on the stove with hot water, looking at the crackling flames inside the stove wall and yawned out of boredom.
He was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he got up and planned to take a walk in the yard.
As soon as he strolled to the gate, he saw Tian Guihua standing at the door with a bamboo basket on her back, looking hesitant.
Yu Huo couldn't help but walk forward curiously, patted the other person's shoulder, and then faced Tian Guihua's frightened face and asked, "What are you doing here sneaking around?"
Seeing that it was Yu Huo, Tian Guihua breathed a sigh of relief and showed the silver coins on her palm to him: "My aunt asked me to buy something, but I didn't dare to go."
Yu Huo was just about to go out for a walk, but he took the lead and said, "Come on, I'll go with you."
Tian Guihua felt that she must have saved the Milky Way in her previous life, which allowed her to meet the greatest golden thigh in her life.
With such a reliable person by her side, Tian Guihua was obviously much braver.
The cold wind was still blowing on the street, but the market was much busier at this time. The two walked forward aimlessly.
Because they couldn't tell the directions, Tian Guihua had to carry the basket and ask for directions.
She looked around and found a woman who was clearing snow from her doorway. She asked softly, "Sister, is there a shop that sells incense and paper money?"
The lady said nothing. She lowered her head to sweep the floor and pointed to the path on the left in front of her.
Tian Guihua swallowed her saliva, feeling a little nervous for some reason. After thanking him, she hurriedly pulled Yu Huo and ran towards the path.
After they bought the incense, candles and paper money, Tian Guihua still felt uneasy, but the young man next to her was completely unaware of it. He even walked to the wall out of curiosity to look at the "wanted poster" posted there.
Tian Guihua pinched the bamboo basket's straps and came forward curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Yu Huo pointed at the strangely painted face and said calmly, "The government found a body with its skin peeled off. Based on the bookcase found on the body, they confirmed that the deceased was a scholar from Panjia Village who was traveling to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination. His name was Pan Quan. The government is currently searching for the murderer."
Tian Guihua turned away in disgust, holding the bamboo basket in front of her and whispering in Yu Huo's ear: "Husband, let's go."
Ever since being targeted by Yuan, Yu Huo couldn't bear to hear these two words anymore. He couldn't help but sigh: "Why don't you just call me Brother Yu."
Tian Guihua didn't ask the reason, and said readily: "Brother Yu, I don't know why, I always feel that something is strange around me..."
She looked back at the passers-by, the women and mothers-in-law chatting and laughing on the roadside, and then turned her head back in confusion.
The next second, the young man beside her smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, saying with a relaxed look, "Your feeling is not wrong."
Before she could figure out what the other party meant, the young man suddenly took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his arms and motioned her to look in the mirror.
Then, she saw that the women and old ladies reflected in the mirror were still talking, but their eyes were staring at them, with a sinister smile on the corners of their mouths.
His eyes seemed to be sizing up his prey, full of murderous intent.
Tian Guihua's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her body began to tremble violently with fear.
Then, she heard Yu Huo whisper in her ear: "Stay calm, they are now restricted by the rules. As long as they don't break this layer of window paper, everything will be fine."
Tian Guihua nodded silently, holding up her legs that were about to go limp, and followed the other person back to Liu's house with trembling legs.
The door closed quickly, blocking out those murderous gazes.
Before Tian Guihua could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the young man beside her suddenly exclaim and yell, "Oh my god! I forgot the kettle!"
Tian Guihua looked at the other person's back as he hurried away. Before she could speak to keep him, he had disappeared.
Then, the fear in her eyes was gradually replaced by absurdity, and she muttered to herself, "Why do I feel like he runs faster than the world champion?"
