Chapter 509: Cold Winter (Part 3)
The next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao stuck her head out from under the quilt. She looked at the time and saw that it was just past seven o'clock, so she planned to go back under the quilt for another nap. However, before she could put her head back in, she saw Zhang Xu push open her door and walk in.
"Don't go back to sleep once you wake up, or you'll definitely have a headache when you wake up."
Zhang Xu walked into the little girl's room originally intending to help her heat the kang, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw the little girl wanted to curl up in the quilt and continue sleeping. He was worried that the little girl would have a headache if she slept too much, so he spoke up to remind her.
"I don't want to sleep anymore. I just want to lie in bed for a while longer." Lu Xiaoxiao said embarrassedly after hearing Zhang Xu's words.
"Yeah." After hearing the little girl's words, Zhang Xu replied and started to help the little girl heat the kang.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Xu who was hiding there helping her heat the kang and said, "Zhang Xu, you will be seventeen after the New Year, right?"
"Um."
"You're almost ready to get engaged at your age."
After Zhang Xu heard what the little girl said, his hand holding the charcoal couldn't help but tremble. He didn't know why the little girl would say this out of the blue.
Seeing Zhang Xu squatting there for a long time without saying anything, Lu Xiaoxiao thought he was shy because of what she said, so she said to Zhang Xu: "Do you have a girl you like? If so, I can help you propose marriage. Otherwise, it will be too late and the girl you like will be engaged to someone else."
"I don't have anyone I like." Zhang Xu said quickly after hearing the little girl's words. He didn't understand why he said this so quickly, but he just said it so quickly.
"If you don't have someone you like, then you don't have anyone, but don't be so hasty, otherwise I will think you are guilty and that's why you deny it so quickly." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing Zhang Xu's words.
"I don't."
"I know you don't have one anymore, so there's no need to explain. But if you find a girl you like in the future, remember to tell me."
"Um."
“Knock, knock, knock… knock, knock, knock…”
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the knock on the door, she scratched her head and said irritably, "It seems like I can't stay in this bed today."
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xu asked after hearing what the little girl said.
"I made an appointment with Liu Shuyu yesterday to discuss something today. He must have been the one who knocked on the door just now."
"I'll go open the door for you, you hurry up and get dressed." Zhang Xu said after hearing the little girl's words.
"good."
When Zhang Xu arrived at the gate of the courtyard and opened the door, he saw that the person coming was indeed Liu Shuyu. So he said to him in a cold tone, "Close the door," and then went into the house.
Liu Shuyu knocked on the door and waited for a long time but no one opened it. Just when he was about to knock on the door again, he saw that the door was opened.
Liu Shuyu thought the person who opened the door was Lu Xiaoxiao. Just when he was about to say hello, he saw that the person who opened the door was the scary man he met yesterday. He immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.
When Liu Shuyu was worrying about whether he should say hello to that scary man, he heard the scary man tell him to close the door in a cold tone, which almost froze him to death.
Liu Shuyu rubbed his arms with his hands and thought that the terrible man was even colder to him than last time. It seemed that he had not offended him today.
Liu Shuyu would never have thought that the reason why Zhang Xu was so cold to him today was because he came too early, and he also made it impossible for Lu Xiaoxiao to stay in bed.
