After hearing the whole question, three seconds later, Chi Musheng's face turned almost black. Was this boss trying to mess with him?
Tu Shan Honghong probably didn't understand what was just said.
But if you say that out loud, even a fool would know it's a flirtation!
Is this something I can say?
Boss, do you know that the seemingly harmless girl in front of you is actually a demon emperor-level powerhouse, the infamous leader of Tushan?
If you get beaten up later, believe me, he'll shield you as a human shield.
The boss noticed Chi Musheng's expression and immediately took out a fan to fan himself, as if he were strategizing and making a life-or-death decision.
"Oh, it seems you are indeed very clever, young master, to have guessed it in just three seconds. Please speak."
Ordinary young couples might blush at the first hurdle and give up if they can't guess the answer by the second. But for special couples like Chi Musheng and Tu Shan Honghong, they can't be let off so easily. It's been a long time since we've had such an interesting couple.
One seems to like the other but doesn't dare to say it, while the other has no affection in their eyes but keeps stealing glances at them. It's truly intriguing.
Chi Musheng clenched his fists, really wanting to draw his sword and point it at the boss, asking, "Are you looking for trouble? Do you want to die? If you want to die, just tell this Tu Shan Honghong directly. Don't drag him along."
You call him clever one minute and guess his meaning in just three seconds the next, it's like roasting him over a fire until he's burnt to a crisp.
He wanted to say that he didn't know, he didn't know anything, aba, aba, aba.
With both eyes fixed on him, he had no choice but to speak!
"Boss, are you sure you want to listen?" Chi Musheng asked Tu Shan Honghong first.
Let me give you a heads-up, so that even if something happens, it won't be a capital offense.
"Yes, Chi Musheng, I want to hear it."
Okay, since things have come to this point, we can't blame him.
Chi Musheng looked at Tu Shan Honghong and paused before speaking.
"The person who loves me most is you."
Tu Shan Honghong suddenly looked up, her eyes brightening. Chi Musheng actually knew her feelings, but why hadn't he said it or expressed them? Was it because he was afraid he didn't dare?
At this moment, Tu Shan Honghong had completely forgotten about the riddles the two of them were playing. Now, only one sentence was on her mind: "The one who loves me the most is you."
Her calm face held an unseen joy. What could be more important or happier than the person you love understanding your feelings?
But does Chi Musheng love her? She suddenly felt anxious and insecure. Would he distance himself from her because she sometimes couldn't control herself and hit people?
Just like Chi Musheng now, he keeps a distance of three feet from her. He always keeps this distance unless necessary, even when he pulled her wrist just now.
But she has already tried very hard to restrain herself and is making changes. Can we please not rush to deny her or be afraid to distance ourselves from her?
Chi Musheng swallowed hard. Tu Shan Honghong stared at him intently, making him feel a chill down his spine. Was she going to hit him? But her eyes hadn't turned red. Was she dead or alive? Could she at least give him a proper punch?
The boss looked at the two of them with even more curiosity, wondering if they could already communicate with each other through their eyes. They didn't say a word, but their expressions were incredibly rich.
"Congratulations, young master, you've answered correctly again."
The interruption of the sound made Tu Shan Honghong withdraw her intense gaze, and also gave Chi Musheng a moment to catch his breath.
The boss looked at the two of them with an even stronger smile; he was determined to see things clearly today.
"Alright, the last question. Answer it correctly and you'll receive a big gift from me. Get ready, gentlemen."
"Swans fly high and birds don't return; once the granary is full, one rises to prominence."
Those ambiguous days are gone; I'll keep myself pure and you by my side.
There are no three dots in the river water, and the mouths do not close in unison, one above the other.
After a moment, Chi Musheng let out a deep sigh.
"Boss, it seems we're out of luck with your grand gift. We've racked our brains, but we can't figure it out."
He's done playing. If he wants to do something stupid, you go ahead and tell him. Let him talk. Is that how you play the game?
The boss smiled and gave Tu Shan Honghong a meaningful look.
"Girl, do you know the answer to this riddle?"
Kid, you can't just quit this game whenever you want. I'll show you what it means to be an experienced player.
"I don't know," Tu Shan Hong Hong said calmly.
She had long given up guessing. She really couldn't understand human things. Why not just let Chi Musheng guess?
"So, young lady, would you like this final, grand gift?"
As the boss spoke, he winked at Chi Musheng, "Kid, if you can't do it, let your uncle help you."
"I want to," Tu Shan Honghong nodded.
She was still very interested in this amazing gift that no one had ever received before.
Chi Musheng covered his forehead. Coming to this stall was the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life. Was this really helping him?
This is going to kill him!
"You could try asking this young master over there; he probably already knows the answer in his heart, but he just doesn't dare to say it."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he took out the clay and began to sculpt it. He was certain that Chi Musheng knew the answer, because if he could answer the second question quickly, he wouldn't be surprised if he answered the third one.
If you can't answer, there's only one possibility: you don't want to talk about it.
I'm suing you for defamation! Defamation!
Chi Musheng stared at his boss, feeling utterly helpless. This was the first time he had ever been defeated in something like this.
Tu Shan Honghong stepped forward, came to Chi Musheng, and took his hand.
"Chi Musheng, I want to know the answer."
The more Chi Musheng refused to say anything, the more she wanted to know the answer.
Faced with Tu Shan Honghong's approach, he seemed to have no other choice but to say it, since it was her request anyway, and immediately composed himself and said in a deep voice.
"May I love you?"
These words, when they reached Tu Shan Hong Hong's ears, were no less exciting than if Tu Shan Rong Rong had found Chi Mu Sheng lying on her bed in the middle of the night.
"Can"
Tu Shan Honghong slightly opened her mouth and uttered a single word in a voice only she could hear before releasing Chi Musheng's hand.
The burning sensation on her ears and face made it impossible for her to look directly at Chi Musheng. She wanted to embrace him boldly, but this was mixed with a feeling of timid shame.
"Phew!" Chi Musheng patted his chest. Does anyone know how much courage it takes to say those words to Tu Shan Honghong?
Tell me, besides him, who else in the world dares to say that?
"Young master, this trip was worthwhile. Don't forget to thank me later," the shopkeeper said with a smile as he sculpted the clay figure, not forgetting to tease Chi Musheng.
In his eyes, Chi Musheng was a typical example of someone who was afraid of his wife. He really didn't know what was so scary about such a beautiful wife.
"I thank your whole family!" Chi Musheng gritted his teeth, wishing he could draw his sword and overturn the stall immediately. Fortunately, Tu Shan Honghong was not angry, otherwise she would have been bedridden for months, if not dead.
The boss took the half-finished clay figure to a spot where the two people below the stage couldn't see it and worked on it, because the final gift would be made directly on the two clay figures.
Placing it directly on the stage now greatly diminishes its effect; its special qualities may only become apparent many years later.
After fiddling around for a while, the boss took out a rectangular sandalwood box, 20 centimeters long, 13 centimeters wide, and 14 centimeters high, and handed it to Tu Shan Honghong.
"Miss, the gifts are all inside; please open them yourself. This young master doesn't need to."
