He is paranoid and warm

"If you don't like me, why marry me?"

Sheng Shushu's heart was beating uncontrollably.

This guy is really playing by his own rules more and more frequently.

"Liking and exploiting don't conflict with each other, right?" Fortunately, Sheng Shushu was not completely confused by him.

Xiao Yu looked at her secretly for a long time, and finally sighed: "You will know later."

Sheng Shushu put down her cup of water and prepared to go upstairs. To be honest, she didn't want to know.

Today, while having a meal, she unexpectedly found out that Xiao Yu had dug up some dirt on her. She still couldn't digest it for a while.

She never thought that Xiao Yu knew her when she was so young.

Suddenly I had the illusion that I was growing up under someone's surveillance.

Xiao Yu did not stop her. He watched her walk over and go upstairs in her slippers. Only then did a slight smile slowly appear on the corners of his mouth.

It turns out that saying it out loud isn’t that difficult.

Feeling?

He placed one hand on his chest.

The heartbeat is strong and powerful.

It feels... good.

So Xiao Yu spread his long legs and followed her upstairs.

Sheng Shushu took the stairs one step at a time, but Xiao Yu could take three steps at a time, so when she turned around, Xiao Yu was already beside her.

"Be careful when taking a shower, and don't let water get into the abraded areas," he said.

Sheng Shushu ignored him.

Xiao Yu was quite talkative. "Is it considered a breach of contract for not hiding my relationship with you from Hao Mingbo today?"

Sheng Shushu then stopped and said angrily, "What do you think?"

"Of course it counts!"

He just looked thoughtful and then nodded.

Then she took her hand and took her to the study.

Just when Sheng Shushu was confused, Xiao Yu took a pair of small pliers from the flower stand on the balcony of the study and gave it to her.

Not big, but has some weight.

She took it in her hand and looked at him in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yu stood in front of her and adjusted his posture. "Where do you want to hit?"

Sheng Shushu: “……?”

He violated the rules, so you let her beat him, right?

She was so angry that she laughed. She looked down at the pliers in her hand and said, "Are they a little small? I should change them to a hammer or something."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly and looked down at her with a complicated expression, "You are so cruel. I am letting you vent your anger. Do you want to kill your husband directly?"

Sheng Shushu looked at him and said these words.

If it were in the past, I always felt that Xiao Yu would never speak like this.

He is always aloof and reserved, and always pauses after every three words.

But, maybe because a lot of things happened recently, she got used to it and even felt...

This kind of Xiao Yu is pretty good, flesh and blood.

She then threw the pliers at him, "Well, I'll accept the pawn shop you gave me, and we're even."

Xiao Yu put the pliers back with a smile on his face.

"The seven or nine-digit value of the pawn shop was offset by my one violation?"

Sheng Shushu's eyes widened, "What else?"

Seeing how fierce she was, Xiao Yu's thin lips slightly curved, reluctantly saying, "Alright."

Sheng Shushu looked unhappy and turned back to her room.

But actually, she is in a good mood now.

After taking a shower and preparing for a comfortable sleep, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Xiao Yu next door:

[I will go to the store tomorrow]

Xiao Yu replied almost immediately: [OK]

In fact, her first thought was to ask him to go with her.

After all, it was he who found the store, and he should be familiar with every aspect of it. What if she found any problems and it was difficult to communicate directly with the original owner?

But since Xiao Yu didn't say anything, he had to let it go.

Sheng Shushu had just put his phone down when he heard it vibrate again.

She picked up the phone again.

Before I swiped open the page, I saw Xiao Yu's WeChat on the screen.

The content only has two words: [Good night! ]

At that moment, Sheng Shushu's heart was hit and he stared without moving.

Until the screen went dark, she finally frowned slightly and took a breath.

Did all the "good night" messages she had sent him in the past count as a response at this moment?

She was still so sensitive to these two words. She just stared at them and most of her sleepiness went away.

Forget it, get up and do some embroidery.

Early the next morning.

Sheng Shushu didn't get up very early, she thought Xiao Yu had probably left.

Unexpectedly, he was still there. He looked at her from the living room and greeted her, "Good morning."

She pursed her lips, too tired to speak.

It's too late to embroider, I'm too sleepy.

If she hadn't had to go to the store today, she would probably have slept until the afternoon.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Xiao Yu's voice came closer and closer.

She took it down and looked at it.

She had a Band-Aid wrapped around her finger last night to make it easier to embroider and avoid hurting her finger.

Xiao Yu had already come up to him, his brows furrowed slightly, "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night, doing exercises?"

amount.

Sheng Shushu was about to nod, but when he heard the last two words, he stopped nodding.

He was so flattering to her.

Although she loves studying now, she is not at that level yet.

To be honest, "I made this embroidery for Madam Qingtan...By the way, when are we going to have dinner with her?"

Xiao Yu answered the question irrelevantly: "What are you embroidering?"

"Just small items."

Xiao Yu is not easy to fool.

"Can I see your little things?"

Sheng Shushu: “…What’s so good about it?”

Xiao Yu had already pulled her back to her room.

While giving his reasons, he said: "Of course the gift is nothing fancy, but I have to check it for you to make sure it's not inappropriate or something that others would hate."

Sheng Shushu pursed her lips slightly.

Madam Qingtan seemed to be a descendant of the previous dynasty. The title was quite long. Sheng Shushu had only heard of it but never seen it, so he couldn't remember it.

As for taboos, there are indeed some, she knows.

If Xiao Yu wants to see it, then let him see it.

It is an embroidered jade pendant, not very big, and can be used as a small pendant wherever you go.

However, the thread she used was not ordinary, so even the embroidered jade pendant looked very real and was thick enough.

If the original jade pendant is placed next to her embroidery, it would be difficult to tell the real thing from the fake.

"Just this?" Xiao Yu asked.

Sheng Shushu rolled his eyes and said, "Of course the real jade pendant should be sent over as well."

It was rumored that the jade pendant was a personal belonging of Empress Wende Yin Lihua. Madam Qingtan happened to be interested in the history of various dynasties, and was particularly fond of studying the famous empresses and queen mothers of ancient times.

Xiao Yu's inquiring gaze finally fell on her face.

Of course Xiao Yu knew Madam Qingtan's preferences, and he thought she would not prepare properly.

It seems that she has studied the other person's preferences.

but……

"Do you have a jade pendant?" Xiao Yu looked at her leisurely.

Sheng Shushu smiled.

"I don't have it, but someone does. I'll try to buy it or exchange it."

From what she said, she knew who had it.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, but didn't ask any more questions. "Very good. It must be done before next weekend, otherwise it will be too late."

"OK."

After breakfast, Xiao Yu and she were going different ways, so he could only send her to the nearest subway entrance and watch her enter the station.

Then he found Chen Xingfu's number and called him, "Mr. Chen, I'd like to trouble you to keep an eye out for a jade pendant for me."
