However, Lin Yue's pretense was destined to be in vain.
Because Chu Qi was not only not tempted, but instead thought that the girl's clothes were too thin?
"You're welcome."
She spoke in an indifferent tone, and after leaving the brothel, she took Lin Yue along the street to look for a clothing store.
To her shame, during the few days she had been in the capital, apart from eating and making money, she had only been busy finding out about the brothel where the supporting female character in the original plot worked.
I don’t have time to go shopping at all, I’m really wronged!
This was the first time that Lin Yue came into contact with the world outside the brothel.
In the past, I could only sit on the couch on the third floor during my free time and watch the people and vehicles passing by outside the window aimlessly.
And everything she witnessed with her own eyes was even more novel to her.
The capital city is prosperous, with all kinds of snacks and restaurants filling the streets.
When they passed by the snack street, Chu Qi was hungry...
Isn’t it the snack street in Beijing, with countless kinds of delicious food?
Mung bean cakes, spring rolls, sugar paintings (also called sugar figures), candied haws, donkey rolls, dragon beard cakes and other delicacies fill the stalls on both sides of the snack street.
Just a casual glance can catch people's attention.
There were still five hundred taels left in his pocket, which was enough for Chu Qi to squander for a long time.
And eating is obviously the most worthwhile thing to spend -
"Boss, two large bowls of noodles, with braised lion's head, lean meat slices and green vegetables."
Chu Qi sat on a bench outside a shop with a big horse and a golden sword, and spoke in a loud and generous voice.
Lin Yue stood beside him stiffly, twirling her handkerchief with her hands, her eyes filled with longing occasionally glancing at the noodles in other diners' bowls.
Chu Qi asked in surprise: "Why don't you sit down?"
Lin Yue was even more surprised than him: "Can I...can I sit?"
She was just a concubine he bought, or even a slave who could not even be considered a concubine. How could she have the qualifications to sit at the same table with her master?
I thought so in my heart, but I also had a vague expectation.
Chu Qi thought she might have misunderstood something, and explained concisely:
"I bought you back to fulfill a promise to an old friend, not to serve me."
She took out the contract of sale, tore it into pieces in front of the little girl, and then stuffed it into her hand:
"The contract of sale has been broken. From now on, you are a free man."
Lin Yue took the fragments in a daze, never expecting that one day he would be able to regain his freedom.
But after being stunned for a while, her first reaction was not joy, but fear.
Doesn't this man want her anymore?
If this person doesn't want her, where can she go?
The world is so big, but there is no place for her, an orphan with no one to rely on.
Her eyes suddenly became hot, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She couldn't help but tear up:
"Master, please don't abandon me. I don't have much to eat. I can wash your clothes and cook for you, warm your bed, and serve you..."
Chu Qi was only thinking about the noodles made by the owner, and she had no idea that this girl had such a strong imagination.
Are you scaring yourself by being silent and emotionless?
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She held the hilt of her sword and stretched out the unsheathed blade to block the girl's legs as she tried to kneel down. Her calm and indifferent tone was inexplicably tinged with helplessness:
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you. Since I bought you, I will be responsible for your life. Until you have nowhere to go, just follow me. I will protect you."
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely..."
"Wait, don't think of yourself as a slave. You can call me brother from now on."
The pretty and delicate little girl was crying in front of her, and Chu Qi felt a little soft-hearted:
"Okay, wipe your tears, the noodles are almost ready, sit down and eat them."
"Yes, sir." Lin Yue burst into laughter. As for the man's request to call him brother, she did not dare to do so. She only called him brother in her heart.
She was somewhat happy, she pursed her lips and smiled, with two dimples appearing on her cheeks.
"Sir, your noodles are here!" The boss with a round belly and plump cheeks brought a plate and placed two bowls of noodles in front of Chu Qi and Lin Yue respectively.
The fragrant noodles made people's mouths water. Chu Qi's eyes lit up slightly. She picked up the chopsticks from the chopstick holder on the table, picked up the noodles and took a big bite.
Lin Yue followed suit and also picked up the noodles with chopsticks. She ate very elegantly, taking small bites and chewing with her mouth closed, without making any sound.
It is in stark contrast to the diners around them who are slurping their noodles.
Chu Qi let herself go, without any elegance, stuffing more than half of the food into her mouth with each bite, feeling extremely satisfied.
When Chu Qi finished eating and started drinking the soup, Lin Yue had only eaten one-third of it.
Seeing that the young master had finished eating, she became a little anxious and started eating quickly.
"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly." Chu Qi stopped her.
"Cough..." Lin Yue covered her cough with a handkerchief, her face flushed as she said, "Yes."
Because the noodles were in a big bowl, Lin Yue’s appetite was not that big and she couldn’t finish it. Even though she tried very hard to fill it up, half of it was still left.
Chu Qi saw this and secretly remembered it in her heart, thinking that she should buy this amount for her next time.
After finishing their meal, they continued to look for a clothing store.
Yongfu Garment Store.
Chu Qi walked straight into the store and said to the proprietress, "Give her a few sets of ready-made clothes that suit her, and a few sets of underwear."
What, what underwear?
Lin Yue felt embarrassed when she heard this and her cheeks turned red again.
It was also the first time that the proprietress saw a man bringing his young lady to a clothing store to buy underwear. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed and said:
