Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

In the past few days, Chu Yu's clothes were stained with blood.

The Dust Removal Technique could not remove the smell of blood, so Shen Zhaozhao planned to go out and buy him some robes.

Just after she went downstairs, someone hit her shoulder hard, and she grimaced in pain.

Who doesn't have eyes when walking? And no one apologized when they bumped into someone.

She rubbed her hurt shoulder and looked back to see who it was. It turned out to be Yu Miaoyi. Her shoulders were shaking and she was running upstairs sobbing softly.

Shen Zhaozhao was a little confused. Who made this young lady so sad?

Following the recommendation of the innkeeper, she went straight to the most famous clothing store in Cangwu County.

Thinking of Chu Yu's fair skin, she asked the shop owner to get a lot of bright-colored robes.

The proprietress was so pleased to see her that she couldn't help but say, "The young lady's lover must be very handsome!"

"Not my little lover." Shen Zhaozhao explained.

The proprietress said jokingly with a smile on her face: "Hey, what's there to be shy about? Nowadays, when the young ladies in Jian'an meet a young man they like, they just throw things into his arms."

Well, Shen Zhaozhao didn't want to say much. He let the proprietress joke around and picked out one from the red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, purple, white and black.

The proprietress was very happy. This girl was so generous. The items she bought were all styles that young men could wear. She even said she was not buying them for her young lover.

Shen Zhaozhao carried the large and small bags of clothes directly to Chu Yu's room and shook her sore arms.

Chu Yu looked at the colorful fabrics and was a little surprised: "Senior Sister bought so many clothes?"

"Yes, I bought it for you. Do you like it?" Shen Zhaozhao took out the robes one by one and showed them to Chu Yu.

Although these robes are brightly colored, the colors are elegant and they should look very good on Chu Yu.

Chu Yu's eyelashes drooped, casting a faint shadow under his eyes.

He felt as if his heart was tickled by a feather, and it was a little itchy.

"Senior Sister, this is the first time I've received a gift from someone else." He stared at Shen Zhaozhao and answered a question that was not related to the question.

*

Because Chu Yu was injured, they stayed in Cangwu County for half a month.

Yesterday Zhou Ziyin sent a message saying that he had found Xie Yanshu and they had settled down in Jian'an City.

People who practice cultivation have stronger physiques, and Chu Yu’s wounds have almost healed. The two decided to set off for Jian’an City tomorrow.

Shen Zhaozhao remembered that they had stayed in Cangwu County for some time, but had not yet properly visited the place and experienced the local customs and culture.

She will be leaving tomorrow, so she decided to ask Chu Yu to accompany her to see what fun things there are here in the evening.

The street shops all set up light sheds and hung lanterns, creating a colorful and lively scene.

The streets were bustling with people, vendors were shouting their wares, and the scene was very lively.

One of the vendors selling pearl hairpins saw Shen Zhaozhao and Chu Yu and hurried forward and shouted, "Girls, buy a hairpin."

Shen Zhaozhao took a casual look and found that one of them was a butterfly hairpin inlaid with filigree and gems. The pearls were trembling and it was very beautiful.

She was somewhat tempted.

The vendor tried harder to sell. Seeing that Chu Yu was dressed in an extraordinary way, he said, "Sir, today is the Lantern Festival. It would be most appropriate to buy a hairpin for your loved one."

Shen Zhaozhao said hurriedly: "We are not that kind of relationship."

She didn't expect that today was the Lantern Festival.

She had read in a storybook that the Lantern Festival of Dazhao was also called Valentine's Day.

Couples often express their feelings to each other at this time, and usually shy unmarried men and women will also meet each other at this time to choose their favorite partners.

Afraid that it would be awkward if the vendor continued talking, she wanted to pull Chu Yu away.

Chu Yu didn't move, his eyes full of confusion. Shen Zhaozhao clearly seemed to like the hairpin very much, so why was she in such a hurry to leave?

"Please get me two such hairpins." He pointed to the butterfly hairpin inlaid with filigree and gems.

Seeing that Shen Zhaozhao wanted to refuse, he said, "Senior sister gave me a robe, so it is only right that I give you a pearl hairpin in return."

Chu Yu's tone was unyielding, leaving Shen Zhaozhao with nothing more than rubbing the stones on the ground with his feet.

She wanted to sigh, thinking that her junior brother probably didn't know what it meant when a boy gave a girl a pearl hairpin. In order to avoid further embarrassment, she decided not to tell him.

Just think of it as an ordinary gift.

Chu Yu handed the butterfly hairpin to Shen Zhaozhao, and the two continued walking forward.

The girls around him stared at Chu Yu with red faces, and when they saw there was a young girl next to him, they hesitated again.

One of the braver girls threw the sachet she had sewn over. When she saw that the sachet was caught steadily, she was so excited that she seemed to faint.

Shen Zhaozhao was attracted by the girls' screams. Seeing them staring at Chu Yu excitedly, she also took a closer look.

It would have been fine if she hadn't looked. When she did, she was shocked. She quickly took the sachet from his hand and threw it back to the girls, then took him away.

When the girls saw that the sachets had been returned to them, they immediately looked worried.

They had never seen a man more handsome than the young man just now.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that thing?" Chu Yu didn't understand. When he saw someone throwing something at him, he caught it almost reflexively.

"Don't accept sachets from others casually." Shen Zhaozhao taught earnestly like an older sister.

Obviously, she is a few months younger than Chu Yu.

But Chu Yu seemed to really understand nothing about these things.

"Why?" Chu Yu looked confused.

"Because a woman gives someone a scent bag to express her love, if you accept the scent bag, it means you accept her love."

She lived in Qingwei Sect for many years, and she read all these from the storybooks.

"Sister, how do you know that I don't want to accept the love of that girl?" Chu Yu stopped and asked.

Shen Zhaozhao was stunned, pounded his head in annoyance, and suddenly regretted being so reckless.

She subconsciously thought Chu Yu was that person, but their personalities were completely different.

That’s right, maybe Chu Yu likes that girl.

She felt a little embarrassed and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I thought you didn't like her, I was meddling in your business."

Chu Yu stepped forward and grabbed Shen Zhaozhao's wrist, twisted her shoulders and asked her to turn around, his drooping eyelashes moved slightly: "Senior Sister, between a man and a woman, what is love? What is dislike?"

Chu Yu is a good student who is studious and curious. Faced with this problem that has troubled him for a while, he wants to trace the source.

"I... I don't know." Shen Zhaozhao really couldn't answer.

What is love? Is it admiring Xie Yanshu like in the plot of the book in the previous life, or is it the ignorant throbbing at certain moments outside the plot?

She herself can't figure it out.

The two walked in silence without saying a word, when suddenly a familiar voice floated over.

"Hey, Miss Shen."

Shen Zhaozhao looked over and saw the owner of the clothing shop. They had unknowingly walked to the door of the shop.

The proprietress was hanging lanterns outside the shop. Shen Zhaozhao looked beautiful and she was deeply impressed.

Seeing the young man next to Miss Shen wearing clothes from her shop, she teased, "This must be your lover."

Shen Zhaozhao: ...I've already said it's not true, please stop talking, boss lady!

"Senior Sister, what is a little lover?" Chu Yu smiled meaningfully.

"Yes, Miss Shen bought a lot of clothes for her lover some time ago. It's you, right?" The proprietress spoke quickly, with a gossipy look in her eyes.

Could it be that Miss Shen is an expert at raising fish and has several lovers at the same time? No wonder she bought so many clothes, it seems that she bought one for each of them.

There was a hint of pity in her eyes when she looked at Chu Yu. What a pity for losing such a handsome young man.

She secretly looked at Shen Zhaozhao again, afraid that she would blame her for being talkative.

Chu Yu glanced at the red tips of Shen Zhaozhao's ears and said slowly: "Well, if it's nine pieces of clothing, then it's me."

The proprietress' eyes lit up immediately and she nodded quickly: "It's you, it's you, it's you!"

What are you...

Shen Zhaozhao couldn't stand their teasing any longer and ran back with a red face.

Half of me was angry, and half of me was ashamed.

At dawn, the sky turns from dark to blue, orioles and swallows chirp, and the morning light shines into the room.

Shen Zhaozhao had her hair combed into a bun. After thinking for a while, she took out a butterfly hairpin inlaid with filigree and gems and put one on each side of her head.

She shook her head, and the butterfly wings fluttered, which was quite funny.

In order to match the butterfly hairpin, she chose a goose yellow short shirt and a green long skirt.

After a turn, the long skirt is flowing, nice!

She took her luggage and went downstairs with satisfaction.

Jian'an City is not far from Cangwu County. Chu Yu had rented a carriage earlier and was waiting at the door of the inn.

When he saw Shen Zhaozhao walking out briskly, the pearls on her head fluttering, he felt that she was a little dazzling.

Chu Yu got on the carriage first.

"Hey! Where are you going?" It was Yu Miaoyi, who hadn't been seen for a long time, who ran out with her skirt lifted up.

She saw Shen Zhaozhao carrying a bag, looking like he was about to leave.

"Go to Jian'an." Shen Zhaozhao was about to get on the carriage.

"Ah, wait a minute, I'm going too." Yu Miaoyi hurried back to pack her luggage.

She also happened to be going home.

Yu Miaoyi thought that Shen Zhaozhao was the only one in the carriage. When she led Cui'er into the carriage, she saw that Chu Yu was also sitting inside.

She winked at Shen Zhaozhao, then pointed at Chu Yu with her chin, indicating Shen Zhaozhao to sit next to Chu Yu.

Shen Zhaozhao was reluctant at first, but then she remembered that Yu Miaoyi was a princess and it was not appropriate for her to sit with a man, so she reluctantly sat down next to Chu Yu.

Yu Miaoyi took Cui'er to sit opposite them, and scanned the two of them: "Your clothes match well."

Shen Zhaozhao and Chu Yu were both wearing yellow clothes today.

She looked at Shen Zhaozhao's head again: "Miss Shen's butterfly hairpin is very beautiful. Where did you buy it?"

Little girls all like beautiful accessories, especially this hairpin. It shakes with Shen Zhaozhao's movements, just like a flying butterfly.

Shen Zhaozhao: "I bought it at the market."

Yu Miaoyi's eyes widened: "I've been to the market every day these days, how come I didn't see it? When did you buy it?"

"I bought it yesterday...yesterday." Shen Zhaozhao glanced at Chu Yu.

Yu Miaoyi didn't miss this point. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Did you go to the Lantern Festival last night?"

"Yeah." Shen Zhaozhao poured herself a glass of water and another for Yu Miaoyi.

She knew that Yu Miaoyi would definitely keep chattering all the way.

"Mr. Chu bought it for you?"

"Pfft~" She shouldn't have drunk water!

Shen Zhaozhao looked straight ahead and wiped the area on the table that was sprayed.

"Senior Sister Zhao Zhao bought me clothes, so I bought her a hairpin." Chu Yu pursed his lips and smiled slightly, then began to explain.

"Pfft~" It was Yu Miaoyi's turn to wipe the table. "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect you guys to develop so fast."

Shen Zhaozhao: “?”

What rapid development? You shut up!

"Mr. Chu and Miss Shen have secretly decided to spend their lives together?"

Shen Zhaozhao: “!”

"Why do you say that?" Chu Yu expressed his incomprehension of Yu Miaoyi's train of thought.

How did it come to a secret marriage?

"You gave her a hairpin, don't you want to be her husband? Besides, Miss Shen is wearing... um..."

"She's just talking nonsense. Haha, don't listen to her nonsense." Shen Zhaozhao covered Yu Miaoyi's mouth, fearing that she would say something shocking again.

She glared at Yu Miaoyi again and threatened, "Don't talk anymore, or I'll use a Silencing Spell on you!"

Yu Miaoyi nodded silently and said, "You are awesome if you have magic skills."

Along the way, the carriage was silent, with only Yu Miaoyi eating cakes and melons.

Chu Yu stared at the butterfly hairpin on Shen Zhaozhao's head for a while, wondering what he was thinking.
