Tu Shan Hong pursed her red lips, as if she had something to say but couldn't bring herself to say it.
She heard Yu Ling say that many human men have strange fetishes, such as liking women's feet, and some even like to nibble on them.
Oh well, if he likes it, I'll indulge him a little. As long as he likes her, that's fine.
She wasn't afraid that Chi Musheng had feelings for her; she was afraid that he didn't.
"What's wrong, Boss?" Chi Musheng asked, looking up after wrapping one foot.
"No, it's nothing," Tu Shan Honghong shook her head in denial, then put her other foot into Chi Musheng's hand.
This feeling seems pretty good, it's just a little strange to have someone touch your feet.
Chi Musheng patiently wrapped the ribbon around his feet, looking at his clean, white toes. He was puzzled as to why they weren't wearing shoes. There wasn't even a speck of dust on their feet. Could it be that, as the legend goes, fairies' feet smell sweet?
No, this is a fox, and a fox that hasn't worn shoes for hundreds of years.
"alright"
Chi Musheng clapped his hands and stood up.
"Okay, let's go then."
Tu Shan Hong Hong withdrew her foot and walked quickly ahead. Without the cover of her fur, the heat behind her ears was already showing, making her fair skin with a rosy tint quite adorable.
"Wait for me, Boss!"
Chi Musheng hurriedly chased after her, wondering why Tu Shan Honghong was running so fast.
The two arrived at the city gate, and before they even entered, they saw the magnificent ancient buildings, with bright lights illuminating the surging crowds on the streets, creating a vibrant and prosperous atmosphere.
"Many people," Tu Shan Honghong suddenly regretted coming to this kind of place.
Over the years, few people or demons in Tushan have taken the initiative to approach her. Now, seeing the endless stream of people, she feels very uncomfortable and instinctively wants to leave and just observe from a distance.
A hint of joy flashed in Chi Musheng's eyes. It seemed like the last time she saw such a lively scene was a long time ago. Back then, a wrinkled hand held hers as they skipped and hopped through the streets, their smiles so radiant.
It seems that all unhappy things will not last long, and only laughter is the norm.
The warmth and comfort of everyday life are what truly soothe the human heart.
"Chi Musheng, it's me."
"Boss, let's go in," Chi Musheng said with a smile, pulling Tu Shan Honghong's wrist. In a place like this, it's easy to get separated if you don't get closer together.
"Oh, okay."
Looking at Chi Musheng's smiling face, Tu Shan Honghong forgot what she was about to say and subconsciously agreed.
And so, a somewhat socially awkward and aloof girl was pulled into the crowd by Chi Musheng.
The mighty King of Tushan suddenly became incredibly docile, like a kidnapped little girl, quietly waiting to be sold.
More than anything, she felt out of place. Tu Shan Hong Hong looked around the whole way, but she just didn't know what to do or what to do.
Because no one had ever taught her how to date in a crowd, or how to play the games at street stalls.
The two stopped in the middle of the street. Chi Musheng looked around and turned to ask.
"Boss, is there anything you like?"
Others are playing around, but he's working; making the client happy is the most important thing.
"Want to play"
Tu Shan Honghong looked around and finally her gaze settled on a clay figurine stall. The little figures on the stall were sculpted so lifelike that they looked like miniature versions of real people.
"They're making clay figurines, let's go take a look."
Chi Musheng grabbed Tu Shan Honghong's wrist and walked to the stall, asking her a question.
"Boss, how do you play this?"
The simply dressed shop owner looked up and saw the two handsome men and beautiful women, and was immediately delighted. He started sculpting clay figures in the likeness of his customers, and he preferred to sculpt some that looked nice.
After all, making something too ugly would be a waste of one's skills. If it's sculpted in a terrible way, people might think that the craftsman is bad, when in fact it's the person who's bad.
The boss held up one finger to explain.
"Young master, ten copper coins will get you a chance to participate in a riddle contest. There are three riddles. If you answer one correctly, you can make a clay figurine. Two figurines can make a pair. If you answer all three correctly, you can receive an extra gift set. This gift set is still unclaimed. However, you must answer the riddles to the young lady beside you."
Upon hearing that there was no problem, Chi Musheng took out ten copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the shopkeeper.
While I'm not confident about three of them, I'm certain I'll get at least one.
What does "guessing a word riddle" mean? Tu Shan Honghong was confused. Does it mean giving her a word and asking her to guess what it is called?
Although she really wanted to know, both Chi Musheng and the stall owner knew, so if she said she didn't know, wouldn't that be a bit sly?
Never mind, she'll know once Chi Musheng answers first.
The boss looked at the two of them with a grin.
"Two guests, please listen to the riddle: 'Wood and eye' above 'heart,' 'single person' beside 'you.'"
Now it was time for his favorite part. He was betting that the girl in front of him would get shy, and the more silent she was, the redder she would blush.
Chi Musheng figured out the answer in a second. It was a simple word puzzle, but the answer was a bit strange, as if it was done on purpose.
Tu Shan Honghong was confused and suddenly felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
What kind of riddle is this? It's confusing if you don't hear it, and even more confusing if you do. "木木在心上" (Mu Mu is in the heart), "单人旁尔" (Single person next to you), two characters, is it "木人" (Mu Ren)?
The boss grinned crookedly and looked at Chi Musheng.
"Young master, you must have already guessed it. Why not tell this young lady? You can't very well tell me, can you?"
It's more interesting when you say it out loud, hahaha.
Chi Musheng was speechless and complained.
"Boss, has anyone said you have a terrible conscience?"
There are only two possible outcomes to this statement: either the girl will run away in embarrassment, or she will boldly agree.
The problem is, he wasn't bringing any woman on a date; he was accompanying his sugar daddy. If the sugar daddy didn't speak first, and he spoke first, wouldn't that make Tu Shan Hong Hong look stupid?
