Yu Huan originally planned to stay here for a while and then look for a way out somewhere else.
But she didn't expect that there would be waves of people looking for her on the street. Some were from the Shen family, and some were from the He family. She didn't even have a chance to go out.
I'm afraid that if I show my head, I'll be seen.
I had no choice but to squat there and stayed in the bun shop. Before I knew it, it was dusk and the sky was getting dark.
During this period, many people came to buy buns, and Shu He was always busy. He was busy until it was almost time to close the stall. When he went to see Yu Huan again, she was leaning against the wall and about to fall asleep.
The orange twilight outlined her face, leaving a little light on the tip of her nose. Shu He hadn't read many books, so he didn't know how to describe it. He just thought it was incredibly beautiful.
He gently touched her arm to wake her up. If she slept outside at this time, she might catch a cold.
Yu Huan stayed in one position for too long, and his legs felt numb. It was difficult for him to stand up, so he could only squat to relieve the pain slowly.
I don't know how I ended up staying here this late... She felt a little regretful, thinking that she must have delayed Shukaku's return.
"I'll be leaving in a minute." She said to Shukaku, looking up.
Shu He hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Are you in any trouble?"
Yu Huan blinked, not knowing what to say.
Shu He asked this out of concern for her. Seeing that she didn't want to talk, he naturally didn't continue to ask. He just said gently: "You have helped me so much, why don't you come to my house for a meal."
Yu Huan was indeed a little hungry, but it seemed a bit awkward to bother Shu He any further, so she hesitated and said, "Just give me two more buns."
"We'll have buns, but you should also eat something else," Shu He advised, being very persistent on this issue.
Yu Huan said, "Okay, okay." and followed him to close the stall.
Behind the bun shop is the Shu family's yard, which was originally the residence of Shu He and his mother.
Later, Shu He's mother passed away, and Shu's aunt moved in with her whole family under the pretext of taking care of him.
On the surface, this is still Shuhe's home, but in reality, it has long been someone else's territory.
Fortunately, they were not here today, so Shu He could entertain Yu Huan in such a leisurely manner without being insulted or blamed by them.
Perhaps because he had no one to take care of him since he was a child and had to cook for himself, Shukaku is very skilled in cooking.
He was busy standing by the stove, where fine firewood was burning, the flames were dancing, and the hot air had a soothing effect.
Soon, the meal was ready: golden shepherd's purse dumplings, hot tofu, pork, and bean soup, and a plate of steamed buns.
It was a simple meal, and when it was served on the table, Shu He hesitated for a moment, regretting that he had forced her to stay.
It's too crude, and I don't know if she can eat it. He was thinking in a mess.
Yu Huanke didn't think about anything. She was hungry again. Moreover, she had never eaten such light dishes before. She actually tasted a different flavor and thought it was pretty good.
"Your craftsmanship is really good." She praised habitually.
The light in the room was too dim, so Shu He found a candle and lit it. The flame flickered and she smiled at him in the dim warm light.
Shu He lost his appetite and his heart skipped a beat.
After dinner, it’s time to think about where to go.
Yu Huan was worried, and Shu He had already seen her difficulties. He lowered his eyes and said softly, "Why don't you stay with me?"
Yu Huan looked up at him in surprise.
His face flushed with anxiety. "No, that's not what I meant. It's just too late. If you don't have anywhere else to go and you don't mind staying here, you can stay here for one night."
"My aunt and the others are all out, no one will know..."
He explained as if he was afraid that Yu Huan would misunderstand him, but such a violent reaction seemed like he was confessing something.
Yu Huan looked at Shu He with a smile. Shu He pursed his lips, a thin layer of red appeared on his face, and he stopped talking.
This seems to be a good idea. At least Shen Weichao’s people won’t come in to search, so this place is safe.
Yu Huan thought about it and his body slowly relaxed.
So it was decided.
It’s just that the house where Shuhe lives is too small, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items in the house, so the space for him to stay is limited.
To make matters worse, there was only one bed inside, so the two of them couldn't sleep together.
Shu He found a way to use those old wooden boxes to build a bed, and then put the bedding on it so that people could sleep on it.
He wanted Yu Huan to sleep on the original bed, while he slept on the makeshift one.
How could Yu Huan agree to this? It was Shu He's room, how could she occupy his bed? But Shu He was adamant and refused to let Yu Huan sleep on the wooden box, no matter what he said.
No matter how much Yu Huan tried to persuade him, he just looked at Yu Huan with his pair of black eyes filled with autumn water and shook his head.
Yu Huan couldn't convince him and had to agree in the end.
It was getting darker, Shu He extinguished the candle, and it was pitch dark in the room.
Shuhe's bed was a little smaller than the one she used to sleep on, and the bedding was thin, so she could almost feel the hardness of the bed board.
Yu Huan was still comfortably lying in her bed this morning, but she hadn't expected such a dramatic change in just one day. It's true that when you do something wrong, you'll be punished.
Fortunately, she had experienced too much today, and she fell asleep soon after she touched the pillow.
