Chapter 239 - Continue the Daily Love
He thought Chu Linyuan would avoid him in disgust, but Chu Linyuan just glanced at him indifferently, then opened his mouth slightly, and ate the piece of yam dipped in red oil with his chopsticks, chewing it slowly.
Xie Zhao was stunned. He watched Chu Linyuan finish the meal without changing his expression, even swallowing with his Adam's apple rolling. His face suddenly turned red! When... when did this ice slag become so good?! This was even more heart-pounding than kissing him directly!
The hot pot meal ended in this ambiguous atmosphere, with Xie Zhao constantly provoking and Chu Linyuan silently accepting. When paying the bill, Xie Zhao touched his round belly, feeling satisfied, and had long forgotten his dissatisfaction with the spiciness.
Walking out of the hot pot restaurant, the evening breeze blew on his face. Xie Zhao looked at his Taoist partner who was dressed in black and was extremely handsome, and then looked at Juan Juan who was holding a carrot in his arms and chewing it happily. He felt that the years were quiet and peaceful, and there was nothing better than this.
As for whether he would be liquidated again that night, that was a matter for another time. At the moment, he just wanted to enjoy this rare sweet moment filled with the flavor of life.
In the next few days, the two of them completely put aside the burden of the sect and immersed themselves in the hustle and bustle of this prosperous city like ordinary traveling monks.
During the day, they wandered aimlessly through the streets and alleys of Jinguan City.
Xie Zhao held the curious little boy, Gungun, in his arms. The little guy looked around with his black eyes. When he saw the man selling bamboo grasshoppers, he would say "hmm" twice. When he smelled the aroma of roasted spiritual potatoes, he would drool. The old potato seller was so scared that he thought the black and white bear was going to steal his stall.
Xie Zhao had no choice but to buy a few with a helpless smile. He ate them himself and broke off a small piece to feed the little ancestor in his arms.
Chu Linyuan remained silent as usual, his black clothes and white hair making him stand out in the crowd. However, the cold air around him that kept strangers away seemed to be diluted a little by the warm atmosphere of the city.
He spent most of his time quietly following Xie Zhao, but his eyes were always on him, watching him jump for joy over buying an interesting piece of ancient jade, watching him haggle with the vendors over a few spirit stones. Although Guixu Sect was not short of money at the moment, Xie Zhao simply enjoyed the process...
He was frightened by the flames spewed out by the roadside juggler and jumped back, and then Chu Linyuan held his waist steadily.
The combination of two people and a bear, one as cold as ice, the other as agile as fire, plus a cute rare iron-eating beast, will attract a lot of attention when walking on the street.
Many passers-by, especially young women, smiled secretly with their hands covering their mouths, and whispered, "What a perfect match", "That young man really dotes on his Taoist partner", "That little bear is so cute", their eyes full of admiration and envy.
That day, they visited the most famous Baichuan Market in Jinguan City.
It's bustling with people here, and there are stalls of all kinds stretching for miles, selling everything.
From ordinary fruits, vegetables, silks and satins to talismans, elixirs, minerals and spiritual herbs needed by monks, and even some antiques and rare treasures of unknown origin, everything is available.
"Wow! Look, brother! That puppet that can dance by itself!"
"Oh! This Drunken Dragon Grass is of good quality, but it's a little young..."
"Get lost! You can't bite that! That's the stall owner's cover!"
Xie Zhao was like a fish in water, looking around excitedly, chatting with the stall owner from time to time and asking about some strange stories.
Chu Linyuan was responsible for using imperceptible evil spirit to separate the crowded crowd when he was engrossed in watching, and silently handing him spirit stones when he wanted to buy something.
As they passed a richly decorated embroidery building, they heard a sudden commotion and the sound of women's laughter from upstairs. Countless embroidered balls were thrown down from the building like a rain of flowers, attracting a scramble from the crowd below.
"It's Miss Liu throwing a bouquet to find a husband!" someone shouted excitedly.
Xie Zhao found it very interesting and was about to join in the fun, but Chu Linyuan grabbed his wrist and took him away from the center of the crowd.
"What? Just take a look!" Xie Zhao was dissatisfied.
Chu Linyuan said expressionlessly: "Trouble."
Sure enough, soon there came the sounds of a quarrel and a fight over the hydrangea. Xie Zhao stuck out his tongue. It was indeed his senior brother who had foresight.
They came to an arch bridge, with water flowing beneath and people coming and going on it. Suddenly, a young girl, elegantly dressed but with a frail face, cried out in surprise. Her embroidered purse had been snatched away by a short, wretched man!
"My purse! There is a jade pendant left for me by my mother in it!" The girl was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Several servants around her were about to chase after him, but the man was as slippery as a loach and was about to disappear into the crowd.
At this moment, a dark figure flashed by like a ghost. Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and the man who had snatched the purse was lifted up by the scruff of the neck, and the purse in his hand had changed hands.
It was Chu Linyuan who made the move. He didn't even spare a glance at the terrified man. He handed the purse back to the still-shocked girl, his voice still cold: "Take it."
The girl took the purse, looked at Chu Linyuan's stern face, blushed, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Thank...thank you, sir..."
Chu Linyuan nodded slightly, turned around and returned to Xie Zhao who was looking at him with a smile.
"Senior brother, you are a hero saving the beauty~" Xie Zhao nudged him with his elbow, his tone sour.
Chu Linyuan glanced at him and pinched his cheek: "Not as good as you."
Xie Zhao immediately smiled, and that little bit of jealousy disappeared.
After having fun during the day, returning to the inn at night is another "competition".
"No! Senior brother! Let's take a truce tonight! My waist is still sore!" Xie Zhao made a solemn statement as soon as he entered the room, trying to protect his rights.
Chu Linyuan closed the door, set up a barrier, turned around and pressed him against the door, his cold breath brushing against his ear: "Bai Ri, who said compensation?"
Xie Zhao: "...I was asking you to compensate me! Not asking you to compensate me!"
"Is there any difference?" Chu Linyuan lowered his head and kissed his sensitive neck.
