"Stingy," he muttered to himself, and then chose a narrow, winding path to walk down.
This narrow path is newly built, and it is obvious that someone has been here recently. But looking down, the path, which is covered by weeds, looks like it has been there for many years. It must have been abandoned for a long time and was only recently reopened.
Zhao Shu didn't move. Huo Baichuan walked a long way, then looked back and saw that she hadn't followed. He said, "Do I have to beg you?"
"Okay." Zhao Shu nodded.
Huo Baichuan lost his temper and started laughing to himself. After he had laughed enough, he begged Zhao Shu as if he were praying to a Bodhisattva, "Grandma, please, come here."
Before Zhao Shu could move, Little Fatty felt sorry for the young master and, like a weathervane, began to help Huo Baichuan, saying to Zhao Shu, "Princess, you should go. You won't regret it if you don't go."
"Go where?" Zhao Shu remained motionless.
"About flowers," the chubby boy replied ambiguously.
Flowers? Hydrangeas? Zhao Shu immediately followed.
The road led to the end, and after walking for about 15 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.
It was an inconspicuous little thatched hut, with several pots of flowers planted beside it. If I'm not mistaken, they were all night-blooming cereus, and they were still in bud.
"Who planted it?" Zhao Shu asked.
Huo Baichuan brought out a stool and a tea table from the thatched hut and set out the tea set for brewing tea. "These were planted by the teacher."
Xiao Xingyuan? Zhao Shu was somewhat surprised. "Why plant epiphyllum here?"
Huo Baichuan gestured for her to look at the sandy soil on the ground, saying, "The epiphyllum flowers that grow here are beautiful."
Zhao Shu couldn't find fault with this explanation. "You brought me to see the epiphyllum in full bloom?"
"I just came and took a look around, it wasn't on purpose." He told the truth and didn't lie to Zhao Shu.
Knowing that he wasn't lying to her, Zhao Shu reluctantly didn't go back and sat down to brew tea with him.
"What did you find out?" The main reason for staying is to ask some questions and clear things up.
Huo Baichuan didn't want to say much. He looked up at her and suddenly said very seriously, "Let's not talk about the court, let's not talk about interests, let's not talk about those worrying things. Let's talk about life, let's talk about ideals, let's talk about interesting things. Do you dare?"
Zhao Shu was stunned. His serious expression gave him the air of a high-ranking official, and his playboy demeanor vanished instantly.
However, after only two breaths, he laughed nonchalantly and said, "You wouldn't dare, would you?"
"Who wouldn't dare? I just don't want to talk to you." Zhao Shu touched the night tea on the coffee table; it was probably tea leaves from Taihu Lake.
Huo Baichuan wasn't angry, but instead asked Zhao Shu a rather abrupt question, "What's going on between you and Xiao Weizi?"
