Ten Miles of Spring Fragrance?
Imperial uncle!
This must be the emperor's uncle!
At this moment, it seemed as if countless gongs were banging in Chen Huaian's mind, causing his thoughts to go blank.
Oh my God!
His darling disciple and Taoist partner, who was pure and innocent, and who would blush for a long time even when holding hands... was actually watching this? !
Chen Huaian's gaze moved stiffly from the highly suggestive title of the book to Li Qingran's focused profile.
The candlelight was soft, outlining her perfect jawline and slightly trembling long eyelashes. In Chen Huaian's eyes, the blush under the veil was no longer just shyness, but... a kind of surprise and helplessness of discovering a new world?
Her clear eyes widened from time to time.
It was as if the scenes described in the book were completely beyond her understanding!
Liu Cui'e, who was standing next to her, was reading a similar book with great interest, and from time to time she would mutter to herself, "Oh, so that's how it is..."
Although she is a woman, she is open-minded.
Not only did he teach her to read, but he also gave her some storybooks to read.
But it was the first time that Liu Cui'e saw something so exciting.
In contrast, Li Qingran tried hard to remain calm, but was slightly distracted by the content...
It seems particularly cute and attractive.
My disciple is studying seriously now, right? After learning, won't you be happy?
Chen Huaian felt itchy in his heart and a heat rushed to his head.
He felt something was wrong!
It’s like a parent discovering that it’s inappropriate for their child to watch the emperor’s uncle!
His sense of responsibility as a teacher began to take over, trying to control his big head which was controlled by his small head.
He wanted to immediately assert his master's authority, confiscate the "evil book" from her hand, and then give her a good "education".
But another thought popped up uncontrollably: Qingran...why would she be interested in this?
놆Because... him?
This area is at the innermost part of the store.
You won't find it unless you look for it on purpose!
To be honest, Li Qingran has a clear goal and just wants to know these!
This thought was like a spark falling into a haystack, instantly igniting the excitement and anticipation in Chen Huaian's heart.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and tried to make his voice sound calm. He even added a hint of deliberate doubt: "Hey! Qingran, Cui'e? It's so late, are you still picking out the script?"
"ah--!"
Li Qingran and Liu Cui'e were both frightened by the sound so close to them and turned around abruptly.
Li Qingran's hands trembled, and the "Ten Miles of Spring Fragrance" almost flew out of his hands!
She hurriedly closed the book, held it tightly in her hand, and put it behind her back as if she was holding something hot.
The pretty face under the veil instantly turned red, even the small earlobes were stained with a hint of rosy red, and her eyes wandered around in panic, not daring to look at Chen Huaian.
It’s over! It’s over!
Why is Master here?
Because they have been here for too long, has the master calculated their position?
"Master... Master?!" Li Qingran's voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and he was obviously panicked. "Why... why are you here?"
Liu Cui'e quickly hid the book in her hand behind her back, her face flushed, and she laughed awkwardly twice: "Sir...what a coincidence..."
Her original idea was to bring Li Qingran to have a look secretly.
Buy a few more books you like to pass the time.
But he didn't expect to be caught by Chen Huaian.
Chen Huaian looked at Li Qingran, who looked like he wished he could find a hole to crawl into, and felt a mixture of embarrassment and mischief in his heart.
He maintained a calm appearance, his eyes seemingly accidentally sweeping over their hands hidden behind their backs, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a meaningful arc: "Well, I'm done with my work, so I just wandered around. What interesting storybooks are you guys reading? Are you so engrossed in it?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "into the realm of ecstasy".
Li Qingran only felt a wave of heat rushing from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head. The fingers hidden behind his back were tightly twisting the pages of the book, and his knuckles turned white.
She felt as if her master's gaze could penetrate her body and see the "evidence" she was hiding behind her back. She wanted to use her escape technique to flee from here immediately, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the spot.
"Nothing... nothing!" Li Qingran's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes moved away, "Just... just some ordinary stories..."
"Oh? Are you?" Chen Huaian walked slowly to the bookshelf, picked up a book with "Love Poems of Zi Jia" on the cover, flipped through two pages, but his eyes were fixed on Li Qingran, "Teacher, I can see that you are so focused on reading that you didn't even notice me approaching. I think it must be a very exciting story? Let me open my eyes?"
"No... No!" Li Qingran shook her head violently, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth under her veil, and was about to cry out of embarrassment, "They are all... vulgar things, no, they are not worthy of Master's eyes!"
Liu Cui'e looked at Chen Huaian, then at Li Qingran, too nervous to speak.
The big eyes rolled between the two.
Chen Huaian looked at Li Qingran, who was extremely ashamed and pretending to be calm, and suddenly thought that it would be a good thing to tease his apprentice.
But we must know when to stop.
He coughed lightly, put down the "Love Poems" in his hand, walked to the counter, and said to the boss indifferently: "Boss, please pack up the books that these two girls just read."
As he spoke, his eyes swept over the hands of Li Qingran and Liu Cui'e hidden behind their backs.
Seeing that, the two girls shivered.
"Ah?!" Li Qingran and Liu Cui'e exclaimed at the same time.
Li Qingran stared at Chen Huaian blankly, with a confused look on his face: "Master, Master?!"
Chen Huaian said nothing, but took out a gold leaf from his sleeve and placed it on the counter: "Since you like it, it's okay to buy it. When practicing, you need to know the various aspects of the world, the ways of the world...well, including some necessary 'knowledge'."
He said the last two words very vaguely, but they were meaningful.
The shop owner smiled happily and quickly found a cloth bag.
This gold leaf is enough to buy all the books in the love section, not to mention all the books in the love section. It would be enough to buy his store.
And there's still a lot left.
This is a big customer!
"Ladies, please make way!" The boss walked past the stiff-limbed Li Qingran and Liu Cui'e, swiftly packed up a shelf of imperial books, and presented them to Chen Huaian with both hands: "Hey, sir, these are the books you wanted! I've packed them all for you, and even gave you some of my private collection! Hehe!"
It’s better to keep it privately.
The private collection is the real thing.
Chen Huaian took the package and stuffed the cloth bag containing the "hot potato" into Li Qingran's still clenched fists, at a loss.
The moment their fingertips touched, Li Qingran felt as if she was struck by a weak electric current. She trembled violently and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Chen Huaian gently held it down. His warm palm wrapped around the back of her slightly cool hand, and he placed the bag of books steadily in her palm.
"Take it." Chen Huaian's voice became low, like a devil's voice piercing his ears, "Go back... and take a look slowly. If there is anything you don't understand..." He paused, looking at Li Qingran's eyes that suddenly widened and filled with water, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, "...We'll talk about it later."
Li Qingran only felt that the cloth bag in his hand suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds and extremely hot.
She hugged the cloth bag tightly, as if she was holding a furnace that would explode at any time.
Her cheeks beneath the veil were so red that they seemed to bleed, and her heart was beating like a drum.
Master...he knows!
Not only did he know about it, he also... bought it for her?!
What does his last sentence mean?!
“Let’s talk about it later”?
say what? !
The huge shame made her brain go blank. She could only hold her school bag stupidly, lower her head, and wish she could bury her face in it.
"Let's go. It's late. Let's just find a place to stay. We have to go to Dragon Tiger Sword Sect tomorrow." Chen Huaian turned around and walked out of the store calmly, as if he didn't say anything. Only the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Liu Cui'e looked at Chen Huaian's elegant and somewhat dissolute back.
꺗Look at Sister Qingran, who is holding her school bag, standing there like a cooked shrimp, with even her neck red.
She rolled her eyes and seemed to understand something.
Young Master and Sister Qingran, this is going to be a success!
She laughed and urged in a low voice: "Sister Qingran, let's go!"
Li Qingran woke up from a dream.
She followed with unsteady steps, holding the bag of notebooks that seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and moving her hands and feet in sync.
The lights along the Imperial City River are still bright, and the hustle and bustle of the night market is still lively, but all of this seems to be separated by a hazy veil.
Li Qingran looked at Chen Huaian's back from time to time, and the blush on her face never faded away.
The evening breeze is cool.
It seemed that nothing could blow away the heat on her face, or the tangled, inexplicably sweet ripples in her heart.
She had a premonition.
It won’t be long…
Maybe he will be eaten by the master.
