He Yunxiao ordered Ma De to quickly turn the car around and head to the small courtyard by the stream where the protagonist lived, while he idly practiced controlling his internal energy in the car.
At first it was fine, but the closer they got to Chu Chu's place, the more frustrated He Yunxiao became.
He also lacks focus in controlling his internal energy, often making mistakes.
He Yunxiao decided to stop practicing and, estimating that they were almost at their destination, lifted the curtain to take a look.
The streets were crowded in the evening, so the Marquis's carriage didn't move very fast.
He Yun lifted the curtain and suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him. Almost instantly, He Yun recognized the figure as Chu Chu!
The figure was carrying a vegetable basket filled with fresh vegetables.
She walked slowly down the street, and apart from being pretty and often attracting the attention of passersby, she was no different from any other woman.
He Yunxiao jumped off the carriage and walked quickly to Chu Xiaoxiao's side. Without any formality, he took her hand directly.
As always, it's soft and slightly cool.
It really was Chu Chu.
"He Yunxiao?" Chu Xiaoxiao turned to look at He Yunxiao, her expression suddenly changing after a moment of surprise. "What are you doing? Don't touch me. You've mistaken me for someone else."
He Yunxiao was taken aback, "Xiaoxiao?"
Xiao Xiao forcefully shook off He Yunxiao's hand, "I'll let you off this time for Chu Chu's sake."
He Yunxiao caught up with Xiaoxiao, who had walked away, and said, "Xiaoxiao, let Chuchu come out." Then, quite naturally, he reached out to take her hand. He succeeded.
Xiao Xiao, carrying her shopping basket, said angrily, "He Yunxiao, are you never going to stop?"
She shook off He Yunxiao's hand again and walked forward on her own.
He Yunxiao wasn't trying to take advantage of Xiaoxiao. Based on past experience, Chuchu would always appear as soon as he arrived. Why wasn't that the case today? Had something happened to Chuchu?
He Yunxiao became anxious at the thought that something might have happened to Chu Chu.
He caught up with Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, where's Chuchu?"
Xiao Xiao didn't give He Yunxiao a kind look at all, "Chu Chu? Next time for sure! Humph."
He Yunxiao was still wondering how Xiaoxiao knew the modern phrase "next time for sure," when he suddenly realized that he was the one who told Xiaoxiao it.
At that time, in the pavilion of the Marquis's mansion, Chu Chu and Nan Zhu made a three-point agreement. When Xiao Xiao came out to ask about it, Chu Chu just gave her a perfunctory answer, saying, "I'll definitely do it next time."
She holds a grudge.
He Yunxiao caught up with Xiaoxiao and quickly said, "Help me, help me! I'll definitely help with your and your brother's matter!"
Xiao Xiao stopped and looked at He Yunxiao. She stretched out her left hand and handed him the vegetable basket, saying, "Take it."
He Yunxiao picked up the shopping basket and hurriedly asked, "Where's Chuchu?"
Xiao Xiao said irritably, "She's fine."
He Yunxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, it's good that she's alright."
Xiao Xiao stared at He Yunxiao, thinking to herself: Chu Chu likes you so much, and your behavior shows you still have some conscience. Otherwise, I would have killed you while Chu Chu was asleep, leaving no trace of your body, so Chu Chu would never know who did it.
He Yunxiao walked with Xiaoxiao for a while, then asked, "Xiaoxiao, where is Chuchu?"
"Asleep."
"Chuchu can sleep?" He Yunxiao was puzzled.
"Can't you sleep? You can sleep, so why can't Chuchu sleep?"
Although it sounds a bit strange that Chuchu can sleep, it makes sense when you think about it.
He Yunxiao took two steps and then asked, "When will Chu Chu wake up?"
Xiao Xiao punched He Yunxiao in the stomach, turning him into a bent-over shrimp.
"Aren't you annoying! Chu Chu will wake up naturally when she's had enough sleep! You keep asking and asking, will you die without Chu Chu?"
He Yunxiao clutched his stomach.
Xiao Xiao's punch was truly powerful; it felt like her internal organs were about to be shattered.
In comparison, He Yunxiao felt that Chu Chu was even more gentle.
Waaah, Chuchu, my Chuchu!
The protagonist's house was not far away, so Xiaoxiao didn't wait for He Yunxiao and went back first. He Yunxiao clutched his stomach for a while, feeling much better, before preparing to leave.
At this moment, He Yunxiao suddenly noticed that several beggars were acting strangely.
They lingered, seemingly preparing to beg from me.
This is very wrong.
The original owner of this body was notorious, and as a villain, he did everything except good deeds. He'd be lucky not to kick a beggar a couple of times; why would any beggar dare ask him for money?
He Yunxiao examined the internal strength of the beggars and found that they were just ordinary people, not even martial artists. So he didn't take it to heart, and walked into the protagonist's house with ease.
Chu Fan's home was not much different from before, except that some valuable items had been added. There was also much more firewood, rice, oil, and salt in the kitchen than before, and there were many more kinds of dishes.
He Yunxiao couldn't bear to watch Xiaoxiao busy in the kitchen any longer.
Who is this girl?
Do you put the rice in the pot without washing it?
Why don't you chop off the vegetable stalks first when picking vegetables?
Are you going to cut potatoes in half without peeling them? Will they cook through?
Is this all there is to being called the best in the world?
He Yunxiao couldn't hold back any longer and went to the kitchen side. "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Xiao Xiao frowned and said, "Cooking? Can't you tell?"
He Yunxiao tentatively suggested, "How about I do it?"
Xiao Xiao resolutely refused, "No, I want to cook for my brother myself."
Since transmigrating, this is the first time He Yunxiao has felt that even the protagonist has his share of hardships.
Brother Chu, I'm sorry to have wronged you.
He Yunxiao stood at the kitchen door for half an hour, then completely gave up on the idea of freeloading. He decided to just go to Linxuan Palace for dinner.
Unable to see Chu Chu, and finding it boring to stay with Xiao Xiao, He Yunxiao made an excuse to slip away.
