Although Chu Chu didn't like any of them during their shopping trip, He Yunxiao still bought quite a few strange little things.
For example, there are little string puppets that only children like to play with, and uniquely shaped kitchen knives. These are probably what Xiaoxiao likes; she has been learning to cook.
However, He Yunxiao ended up carrying all the odds and ends, while Chu Chu only had a small malt candy rabbit that He Yunxiao had forcibly stuffed into her hand.
This rabbit was drawn by a sugar maker using maltose strands. Around the sugar cart, many little girls, seemingly as young as her, were gathered.
If other people's girlfriends have it, then our Chuchu should have it too.
With this in mind, He Yunxiao bought candy, and Chu Chu received her little rabbit.
He Yunxiao and Chu Chu walked hand in hand down the street. He was carrying large and small bags, while Chu Chu was only holding candy.
Occasionally, when He Yunxiao looks away, Chu Chu will casually take a bite.
However, such moments were rare, because He Yunxiao's gaze was mostly fixed on Chu Chu.
Although Chu Chu's martial arts skills far surpass He Yunxiao's, his current protective behavior makes it seem as if He Yunxiao is the one protecting Chu Chu.
Chu Chu was in a very good mood.
The corners of his mouth were always turned up.
Even Xiaoxiao noticed this. However, compared to Chuchu's mindset, Xiaoxiao was more concerned about other things.
Xiaoxiao: Chuchu, have another bite of candy. He Yunxiao bought it for you, are you just going to hold it and look at it?
Chu Chu: You want to eat it, don't you?
Xiaoxiao: The little rabbit's ears are melting! Chuchu!
Chu Chu: Wait a minute.
Xiaoxiao: Ears! Chuchu! Ears!
Normally, Chu Chu would never go along with Xiao Xiao's antics, but today she was in a good mood, so she went along with Xiao Xiao's wishes and took a bite of the little rabbit's ear.
Xiao Xiao had already shared the taste, and now that she had tasted it, she immediately made a satisfied sound.
Chu Chu, the fearsome "Chu Tianzun" in the martial arts world, is now holding candy and being led around by He Yunxiao like a little girl.
She was even bossed around by He Yunxiao.
"Chuchu, take this. Yes, hold it carefully, don't drop it." After instructing Chuchu, He Yunxiao said, "Boss, two meat buns, please."
Because he needed to transfer his skills to Chu Chu, their hands were clasped together and couldn't be separated, which was naturally inconvenient. However, He Yunxiao was also aware that being able to hold Chu Chu's hand was a blessing he had accumulated over eight lifetimes. He was already grateful to have her by his side; what more could he ask for?
Moreover, it's not just about holding hands now; it's about holding hands with Chu Chu while also having Chu Chu transfer her powers to him and helping him carry his things.
He Yunxiao had never dared to dream of such treatment before.
You thought you could boss Chu Chu around? You were dreaming.
Now, her dream has come true.
After finishing the meat buns, He Yunxiao replenished the energy he had used to transfer his skills. Then he called over Ma Dekuai, who had been following behind him, and pulled Chu Chu into the Marquis's carriage, heading to the old city tower, the place where he had confessed his love to Zi Ruo.
There are many attractions in Yinjing City, but the only one that is deserted is the old city gate.
All the odds and ends were left on the carriage. He Yunxiao's hands were empty, while Chu Chu held the rabbit without ears.
At the foot of the old city gate, He Yunxiao said to Chuchu, "Chuchu, do you see that little house up there? Come on, put your arms around my neck, and I'll use my lightness skill to carry you up."
Xiao Xiao: ?
Chu Chu said speechlessly, "He Yunxiao, have you forgotten that I also know how to use lightness skills?"
He Yunxiao: ?
He Yunxiao kindly reminded her, "Chuchu, you don't have to know how now."
"This Venerable One will."
He Yunxiao: ...
I don't know if Chu Chu is genuinely stupid or just doesn't want to be hugged, but she actually said something so jarring.
His teammates weren't very helpful, but that didn't stump He Yunxiao. He had a sudden idea and said, "Chuchu, you can do light-body skills, but I suddenly can't. Carry me."
Xiao Xiao: ?
Is He Yunxiao's way of picking up girls this awkward? He's too lazy to even act, so he just resorts to blatant deception.
Chu Chu: "You don't know light-body skills? Is it because of the power transfer?"
He Yunxiao nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it hurt too much, so suddenly it stopped."
Chu Chu nodded. "Then grab my shoulder and I'll take you up."
Xiao Xiao shook her head and clapped her hands, clicking her tongue in amazement.
Tsk tsk, what a pair of scoundrels! One's pretending to be stupid, the other's genuinely clueless—they're a match made in heaven. The two of them together are just unbelievable.
He Yunxiao wouldn't obediently grab Chu Chu's shoulder; if he did, he'd be a complete fool and probably end up alone for life. A truly wise person would, of course, take the opportunity to openly and legitimately get close to Chu Chu, then reach out and put their arm around her waist.
"He Yunxiao, I told you to grab my shoulders." Chu Chu frowned in displeasure as she felt He Yunxiao's movement.
"No, Chuchu, I can't hold onto your shoulders, I have to hug you. I'm currently in the process of transferring my internal energy, so I can't use any of my martial arts skills. What if I fall off if I don't hold on tight?"
Seeing that He Yunxiao spoke with such seriousness, Chu Chu didn't say anything, only saying, "Then you hold on tight."
Then, using his lightness skill, he dragged He Yunxiao to the top of the old city tower.
"He Yunxiao, we've arrived. Let go."
He Yunxiao held Chu Chu's hand and put his arm around her waist, and shamelessly said, "Chu Chu, it's too high, I'm scared. Let me hold you for a little while longer."
Chu Chu naturally replied, "If you're afraid of heights, then we'll go down."
"No, I'm not afraid anymore. I'm not afraid now that Chuchu is holding me."
