Chapter 43 He can’t do it, forget it
A quarter of an hour later, Sang Zhixia rounded the corner and just stuck her head out, when a big hand with blue veins still on it appeared in front of her.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside? Why did you come back?"
Sang Zhixia's eyes were covered and she couldn't see anything. She subconsciously grabbed the corner of Xu Yu's clothes. Her throat, having eaten half of the candy, was softened by the sweetness. "You didn't beat him to death, did you? I'm telling you, killing someone is..."
"No."
Xu Yu ignored her attempts to twist her hands, firmly grasped her shoulders and turned her around, holding the back of her head with his palm to prevent her from turning. "I was just delayed for a moment while going back to get something you left behind. We didn't fight."
When he was finally willing to take his hand away, Sang Zhixia had already been taken out of the alley.
She stood on tiptoe and took another look in the direction she had come from, then said uncertainly, "Is there going to be no trouble?"
"What kind of trouble will it be?"
Xu Yu randomly grabbed a handful of her hair and said calmly, "A few insignificant bugs, no one would care if they died in the stinking ditch."
Sang Zhixia hummed in disbelief, and then Xu Yu spun her around in front of him like a chick.
"And you?"
"Are you hurt?"
"No, no, no."
Sang Zhixia slapped away his hand that was about to grab her sleeve, and said with a smile: "I ran fast, nothing happened."
"Didn't you say the mule cart was coming? I looked everywhere but couldn't find it."
She looked at the chaotic intersection where the chaos was gradually subsiding and said strangely, "Could it really have been taken away by someone? Is my luck really that bad today?"
Xu Yu made sure she was alright, then he let out a breath calmly and said slowly, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly."
"ah?"
"I shouldn't have driven the mule cart here."
Xu Yu held the back of her head again and forced her to take a few steps forward: "Let's go, or we'll get lost if we don't go now."
It turns out that it cannot be lost.
After finding the mule cart temporarily parked at the back door of Fengchun Building, Sang Zhixia began to count the things.
Xu Yu was very ruthless when he beat people, but he was also very thoughtful. Thanks to him, nothing was lost, and he even picked up eight cents of silver for free.
Just thinking about the possible origin of this silver made Sang Zhixia feel uncomfortable.
“Ill-gotten gains are not in vain until they are spent.”
"Shall we spend this before we go?"
Xu Yu held the mule's reins, and the corners of his mouth, which had been tense and pressed down, finally revealed a gentle smile.
"Want to buy you some more sweet treats?"
Sang Zhixia savored the sweetness in her throat and shook her head vigorously.
"Forget it, forget it. If I eat anything sweet again, I'm going to choke to death."
"Let's go to the cloth shop and buy two more pieces of cloth."
There are really too many people in the family, and the budget given by the old lady is not enough.
Sang Zhixia could guess without thinking that there were only a limited number of people who could get this little bit of material within the budget, and Xu Yu was definitely not one of them.
But Xu Yu only had two sets of clothes to change back and forth, so what was wrong with bringing him along?
Sang Zhixia, determined to repay a favor, was about to head to the cloth shop. Seeing Xu Yu tying the untied rope again, she couldn't help but say, "The cloth shop is just across the street. Why don't you wait a bit? I'll walk over..."
"no."
Xu Yu's knotted fingers froze silently. He lowered his eyes to hide the coldness that hadn't yet dissipated, and said softly, "Zhizhi, you can't leave my sight."
Not even across the street.
Sang Zhixia didn't want to elaborate on what happened just now, and Xu Yu was also tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
But he heard the unbearable words, and it was he who beat down the person who was chasing Sang Zhixia.
While he was secretly glad in his heart, he was more filled with unspeakable fear.
What if he's late?
What if it’s too late?
Xu Yu took a deep breath to suppress the violent urge to go back and kill the man, and his expression remained normal when he let go of his hand.
"It's hard to carry the things you bought, I'll go and help you carry them."
Free labor is not wasted. Sang Zhixia waited for him to come up and said, "What color do you like? Pick one you like?"
Xu Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said playfully: "Why, you do it for me?"
Sang Zhixia was suddenly in trouble.
She said sincerely and embarrassedly: "Can I say I can't?"
She could mend a few holes and sew a few stitches, but she really didn't know how to make clothes.
She never learned this since she was a child.
Xu Yu was a little amused when he heard this: "Needlework hurts your eyes and takes your mind, it won't be very good."
"I have enough clothes to wear, so leave me alone."
He himself didn't care, but Sang Zhixia took it very seriously.
She was so frightened by the bravery of Xu Yu, who had come down from the sky like a god, that it was worth buying him a piece of clothing as a reward.
Inside the cloth shop, Sang Zhixia's eyes fell on the ready-made clothes hanging nearby. She pointed at Xu Yu, who was waiting at the door, and said, "Boss, do you have a set of clothes in his size?"
The shopkeeper had sharp eyes and immediately said, "Of course there is!"
"Please wait a moment, I'll get it for you!"
In front of you are three sets of materials of different colors, raven green, dark blue and black. The workmanship is not complicated, and the main feature is simple and elegant.
Seeing that her expression seemed to indicate that she was interested, the shopkeeper spared no effort to introduce her, saying, "Young lady's husband is handsome and tall. This simple style would look best on him. You can't go wrong with it."
"How about asking your husband to come in and try it out? If there's anything that's not right, I'll write it down and fix it in two days and send it home to you."
Sang Zhixia thought all of them were okay, so she simply waved to Xu Yu: "Come in, come in, come in and take a look."
It was the first time Xu Yu stepped into the cloth shop. As soon as he stood still, Sang Zhixia held up a piece of clothing and gestured to it.
"Zhizhi, I..."
"Can you buy it and say I made it?"
Sang Zhixia took the initiative and said, "It's impossible to make it, so buy a ready-made one and wear it as is. And don't tell anyone about it, okay?"
In order to perform the whole show, she asked the shopkeeper to find materials of the same color and style.
When the time comes, she will get the materials from the old lady and replace Xu Yu's clothes with the ones she bought every few days. She will just go through the motions to prevent the old lady from always keeping an eye on her private money.
Xu Yu's eyes narrowed at her subtle thoughts, and under her urging gaze, he said, "Black."
Black can withstand wear and tear, and can also withstand dirt.
Sang Zhixia put down the crow-blue dress with some regret and consoled herself by saying, "That's fine, you'll look good in black too."
Although she had never seen any other color on Xu Yu during this period.
Xu Yu inexplicably felt the urge to tease her, and with a squinting look, he asked, "Who else do you think looks good in black?"
"who?"
Sang Zhixia said without thinking: "You and Xu Minghui are the only ones wearing black in the family. Who looks better?"
As she finished speaking, the image of Xu Minghui in black, looking elegant and dignified, came to her mind. She shook her head in a puzzled manner: "He's not good enough, forget it."
It doesn't matter if you are good-looking.
The temperament is wrong.
Not domineering at all.
She was really disgusted, and Xu Yu raised the corner of his mouth and turned his face away silently.
