How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Just after applying the medicine, the door was knocked again. Cuihua was about to open the door, but Xiaoan had already rushed to the door.

Zhao Huazhang, who had returned, stood at the door with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Mr. Zhao? You..." Why are you back again? Cuihua swallowed the words back. She felt that something was wrong with both the young lady and Mr. Zhao today. She asked, "Did you forget something?"

"There's something I forgot to ask your young lady." Zhao Huazhang looked inside and didn't see the person he expected. "Where's your young lady?"

Cuihua took him to the front hall. Xia Chu wandered out and couldn't help but glare at Zhao Huazhang when she saw him. He had just led her astray, and she hadn't even agreed yet! And already it was like he was proposing marriage!

The freshly brewed tea was still warm. Cuihua poured tea for the two of them and stood behind Xia Chu.

Zhao Huazhang took a sip of tea, glanced at Cuihua, and then looked at Xia Chu, "Did Xiaochu agree to what I just said?"

...The names have changed.

Xia Chu glanced at Cuihua, who blinked and left. She then turned to Zhao Huazhang and said, "I didn't agree."

"Any concerns?" Zhao Huazhang frowned. "Tell me about it."

Xia Chu wanted to roll her eyes. He had just fooled her. "Do I have to marry you just because I have no concerns? You're trying to change the subject."

Changing the subject? Zhao Huazhang had never heard of the term, but he could guess its meaning. He asked tentatively, "But what did I do wrong? What made you dissatisfied?"

"Not really." Xia Chu saw him frown slightly, as if puzzled. She didn't know what to say. Indeed, Zhao Huazhang was impeccable in both appearance and wealth.

Well, he's handsome and a soldier. Xia Chu looked at him quietly. He was tall and well-proportioned, rich and powerful.

...When I think about it this way, it seems like there's really nothing to complain about.

What about his character? Since Big Brother is familiar with him, his character must be fine. They met again, and it was because he saved Qiu Yu.

Xia Chu's furtive gaze wasn't exactly subtle, and Zhao Huazhang noticed it, straightening his back even more. He didn't understand. If there was nothing he wasn't satisfied with, and the two families were familiar with each other, why was he still unwilling?

Is it because I'm asking the question incorrectly? That's how my elder brother taught me.

What went wrong?

If Brother Zhao knew, he would definitely hold his forehead. I have said so much before, but the last sentence is: the most important thing is that it varies from person to person.

The room was silent. Zhao Huazhang frowned expressionlessly, trying hard to recall what his elder brother had said in the letter. Should he write to ask again?

Xia Chu looked up, thinking Zhao Huazhang was angry... It was scary. She stole a glance at the door and wanted to run. Although she knew Zhao Huazhang wouldn't turn hostile, his aura was a little scary.

Daan seemed to sense his master's uneasiness and walked in from outside, squatting at Xia Chu's feet. His furry tail swept back and forth, and Xia Chu felt at ease again. She coughed and opened her mouth to speak.

Zhao Huazhang looked over with concern, "Why are you coughing? Did you catch a cold?"

Xia Chu realized that he might have misunderstood and explained, "No, my throat is a little dry."

Zhao Huazhang nodded. His dry throat might be caused by inflammation. He had heard from his grandmother that eating bird's nest is good for women's health. He would go back and clean out the supplements in the warehouse and ask Qingsong to deliver them. He thought about it and touched the teapot. It was still steaming. Xia Chu's cup was full. He drank the cold tea in his cup and poured Xia Chu's cup into his own cup. He poured another cup of hot tea and pushed it over, "Drink some tea to moisten your body."

Xia Chu watched his actions and felt a little relieved. With such a considerate person, why not give it a try? But how should I put it into words? Should we talk about it and try?

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The steaming tea slid across her tongue, and after a slight bitter taste, it became sweet and fragrant, filling her mouth.

"I'm not trying to embarrass you. You can take your time to think about it. If you've made up your mind, just tell me." Zhao Huazhang said slowly. He didn't dare look into Xia Chu's eyes. He stared at her small chin and continued, "Be more careful next time. Don't climb trees again."

"Yeah." Stop climbing trees. Xia Chu had heard this so many times in the past few days that his ears were almost callused.

I don’t dare to climb anymore!! I will never climb again!!

Zhao Huazhang sat for a while. Cuihua lingered outside the door twice, and then he stood up and said goodbye.

Xia Chu sighed and finally left. He probably wouldn't come back, would he?

Unexpectedly, at dinner time, Zhao Huazhang came again, but he didn't come in. He just put down a basket and left.

"Miss..." Cuihua came in carrying a basket, "Master Zhao sent these maple leaves."

"Huh?" Xia Chu was bored and was waxing her pipa with one hand. Hearing this, he looked up and saw a basket full of red maple leaves. "Zhao Huazhang sent them?"

"Well, he didn't come in. He just gave me something and left." Cuihua guessed something. Mr. Zhao had already come three times today, and if he still didn't notice, he would be stupid. She fiddled with the maple leaves and said, "Every one is intact and clean. I think he's been selected and washed."

Xia Chu didn't say anything, but picked up a leaf and examined it. Not only was it intact, but each leaf had a similar color. It was unclear whether Zhao Huazhang had picked them himself or had his servants do it. Either way, it showed he'd put a lot of thought into it.

"Mr. Zhao, you are very thoughtful." Cuihua said bravely. In her opinion, Mr. Zhao's conditions were very good, but she didn't know why the young lady seemed to have no interest in him.

Xia Chu glanced at her and thought to herself that she was quite thoughtful. She sighed again, feeling like she was about to fall.

Perhaps because she hadn't done much during the day, Xia Chu couldn't sleep at night. She dug out a few gifts from Zhao Huazhang from the small drawer beside her bed. They were exquisite, but not out of place.

Xia Chu didn't know when she fell asleep. In her dream, she was walking down the street when the jade ball suddenly fell. It hit the ground with a loud thud, and Xia Chu's heart leaped. Then, the little rabbit inside the jade ball suddenly leaped up and transformed into a tall figure.

The other person's face was blurry, and he kept saying something next to her, but she couldn't hear clearly.

She was so preoccupied with her jade ball that she didn't even have time to think about why this person had appeared out of nowhere. She groped for the fragments on the ground, but there was no way she could pick them all up. Furthermore, the fragments snaked forward, and once she finished picking them up here, she would look up and see more ahead.

She picked and picked until she felt a hand. The fingers were long and strong, the palm was covered with calluses, and the veins on the knuckles were bulging. Whose hand was this?

When Wang Qiuyu woke Xia Chu up, she had almost forgotten everything in her dream, except for a beautiful hand. But she didn't know whose it was or why she had dreamed about it.

After being cooped up in the house for a few days, Xia Chu decided to go to Yin Ge Garden. As soon as she opened the door, she found a lot of things piled up in front of it.
