Chapter 10: You have to deal with the trouble you caused
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.
Lu Yuan seemed to be burned by his gaze. She hurriedly let go and turned away, not responding to anything Xiao Li said.
"Little kite?"
"Brother Yuan?"
"Lu Yuan?"
"Little husband?"
Hearing the call of "little husband", Lu Yuan staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Li was quick to grab the person, suppressing the upward curve of his lips and coughing in a way that made it even more obvious.
"Be careful, you're already grown up. It's a good thing I'm here this time. What would you do if I wasn't here?"
If it weren't for his particularly annoying tone, Lu Yuan might have really thought that he cared about her.
After standing up, he shook off the man's hand in annoyance and hurried on his way.
"It's because of you that I almost fell!"
Xiao Li knew that he was in the wrong, but seeing that the young man was indifferent to him, he couldn't help but want to tease him.
Seeing that the young man was really angry, he knew that too much is as bad as too little, so he decided to coax him.
No matter what, it was you who provoked him first, so it is naturally your responsibility to appease him.
If he hadn't been in the book, he might have just thrown money at people to trick them.
But this is a backward ancient time. Not only does he dare to give those gold, silver and jewelry to the young man, but he also has to see whether the young man dares to accept them.
Besides, if he took out any of those things at random and someone noticed it, it would inevitably cause trouble.
If he were unlucky enough to be discovered by the heroine, given her understanding of her original body after her reincarnation, it would probably arouse unnecessary suspicion.
He is not afraid of things, but he is afraid of trouble.
Therefore, what he took out had to pass through a clear path.
For now, don't even think about things like gold, silver, and jewelry. You can't use them openly. But for other things like food, no one will find out if you eat them.
Thinking about it, he took out a big, pink peach from the space and handed it to the little brother, "Don't be angry."
"What are you doing?" Lu Yuan swallowed and forced herself not to look at the big, red peach, but she couldn't help but glance at it from the corner of her eyes.
The little boy was swallowing his saliva while watching, and he looked so cute.
For some reason, Xiao Li felt his throat seemed a little dry, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed.
"A token of apology."
"For me?" Lu Yuan widened his eyes slightly.
In the Lu family, Lu Youfu is the treasure of the family, and he is the grass of the family.
While Lu Youfu could have everything he wanted every day, he had to work non-stop and pay money to the government before he could eat a few bites of leftover food.
The good things all belonged to Lu Youfu and the other children of the Lu family. He couldn't even get enough to eat, so how could he eat fruit?
If it weren't for the fact that he was so sick that he almost died two years ago, and the Lu family didn't give him any food, wanting to starve him to death, the little dad would have gotten angry and started taking him to eat alone.
But even if they no longer ate from the same pot with the Lu family, the Lu family still asked them to pay public money, otherwise they would be kicked out of the Lu family.
It was obvious that his father also had a share in the house, but because his father was no longer around, they bullied them, an orphan and a widower.
The little daddy embroidered purses and handkerchiefs every day, and gave most of the money he earned every month to the Lu family. The remaining money was just enough for him and his son to eat and drink.
In order to make his family's life better, he would go up the mountain every few days to collect mountain products to sell.
This time, he had accumulated a lot of dried mountain products and planned to sell them in the city.
Although Yangliu Village is not too far from the city, it is still a bit of a trek for a young man like him. Not only does a round trip take a long time, but sometimes he can't even make much money.
On average, he might only go to the city once a month to sell mountain products.
In order to catch up, he got up before dawn today, walked on the dew to go up the mountain to pick a lot of fresh mountain products, intending to take them together to sell.
Xiao Li's heart tightened when he saw his eyes suddenly turn red and tearful, looking so pitiful.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like you're about to cry? Are you really that angry?"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly came back to her senses, feeling embarrassed and angry. Her little face puffed up, and her originally narrow and long peach blossom eyes seemed to have become rounder.
"Who's going to cry?"
The angry little boy looks like a bloated pufferfish, so cute that you can't help but want to poke him.
Xiao Li suppressed the urge in his heart and stuffed the fruit into his hand.
"It's okay if you don't want to cry. Just take it and eat it. Don't get angry after eating it, and don't cry!"
After saying that, seeing the confused look on the boy's face, he couldn't help but poke his slightly bulging cheek.
A hole appears when you poke it, and it bounces back quickly when you take your hand away.
When he wanted to poke her again, Lu Yuan gritted her teeth and grabbed his fingers.
"It's enough!"
"Ahem! I couldn't help it!"
"..." Lu Yuan tried to hold back, but couldn't help it. "Shut up!"
Seeing that the man seemed to be angry again, Xiao Li manually zipped up his mouth, indicating that he should shut up.
Lu Yuan had never seen such an action before, but she roughly understood what he meant by half guessing and hesitated for a long time before letting go of his hand.
Xiao Li smiled at him and nodded his chin towards the peach in his hand.
Lu Yuan subconsciously lowered her head, and when she saw the big, red peach in her hand, her mouth started to water.
After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head and handed it back to Xiao Li, "You eat it."
Xiao Li could see his love and desire for peaches, but he refused to eat them and returned them to himself.
He didn't answer, "Why?"
"This is yours! These big, red peaches can be sold in the county for two cents, no, three cents. It would be a waste if I ate them. Three cents can buy a meat bun!"
When speaking, Lu Yuan lowered his head, but his tone was very happy.
Even though he was born as an illegitimate child, Xiao Li had never been hungry since he was a child.
The few days when I went hungry were basically before I was eight years old, which seems so far away now.
The Xiao family's meal last night and the young man's refusal at this moment all told him that this is an era when many people cannot even fill their stomachs.
Every era has its own difficulties. Compared to the end of the world, this place is safer, but we also face the problem of lack of food and clothing.
He sighed softly and stuffed the peach into the boy's hand again.
"Eat, I still have some."
"Where are you hiding?" Lu Yuan stared at him up and down.
It’s bad enough that he hid such a big peach without me noticing it, but could it be that he was hiding it on his body and still didn’t notice it?
He looked down at the peach that was bigger than his palm, then looked up at Xiao Li with a look of suspicion.
Not only did the young man's eyes seem to be able to speak, but his face also couldn't hide what he was thinking. Xiao Li easily guessed what he was thinking and looked at him helplessly.
"Do I have to carry it with me?"
"what?"
"I still have some at home. You can eat it. It won't be wasted. After all, you have to raise your own little husband, right?"
After saying that, without waiting for the young man to react, Xiao Li suddenly quickened his pace and soon left the other man behind.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then after she realized what was happening, she felt embarrassed, angry, and moved.
"Why is this person like this!"
He said something like a complaint, but anyone could tell that he was saying one thing and thinking another.
He took a bite of the peach and his eyes lit up. He trotted to catch up with the man carrying the basket.
"The peaches are so sweet, do you want to eat some?"
Hearing this, Xiao Li paused, lowered his eyes to look at the peach held up by the young man, and then looked at the young man meaningfully.
"Can I eat what I've eaten?"
"Ah!" Lu Yuan's face suddenly turned red. It would be wrong if she took the peach back, and it would be wrong if she didn't take it back.
After struggling for a while, he was about to put his hand down when he suddenly felt a warmth on his wrist, and then...
The tall and handsome scholar lowered his head and took a bite of the peach, right at the spot where he had just bitten.
He had just taken a small bite, but now the bite mark had disappeared, replaced by a larger mark.
"..."
The little boy looked at Taozi, then looked at himself, and then looked at Taozi again. He looked so conflicted, so adorable.
After a while, Xiao Li heard him muttering quietly: "Why is this guy like this?"
Not long after they met, Xiao Li heard this sentence from him several times, and it was hard not to suspect that this was his catchphrase.
Maybe it was because he loved the boy so much that he thought the boy was cute, so he actually thought these spoiled words were cute.
He lowered his head to face the boy, teasing him with a half-smile, "Do you dislike my saliva?"
Lu Yuan curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him. She didn't say a word, but seemed to have said something.
“……”There was some implication.
He was just about to ask someone to eat on the other side when he saw the boy bite the peach hard as if to vent his anger, and then stared at him with his eyes not eyes and nose not nose.
"I'm not eating your saliva, I just don't want to waste food."
After saying that, the young man seemed to have calmed down. He walked a few steps east and a few steps west, and even his back showed happiness.
Xiao Li naturally believed what he said.
In this era of food and clothing shortages, let alone just a little bit of other people's saliva, even if it fell on the ground and got covered in dust, I'm afraid people would pick it up and continue eating it.
After all, life is still very difficult for most ordinary people. If you want to talk about those who live a good life, it may not be the emperor, but only the aristocratic families.
However, with his current status and position, neither the emperor nor the aristocratic families are the class he can reach.
But inevitably, if he wants to live a happy and carefree life in this era, he will inevitably have to come into contact with those people in the future.
I hope they will understand better by then, otherwise he wouldn't mind giving this era a major cleanup.
Lu Yuan usually eats very quickly, but this time he took a long time to eat the peach, so long that Xiao Li couldn't help but wonder how big the peach he gave him was.
The boy finished eating the peach only when he saw the city gate of Nan'an County in the distance, and he even burped a little.
Seeing Xiao Li looking at him, he covered his mouth and said, "I didn't burp!"
Xiao Li just smiled and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan realized belatedly that she had exposed herself, and her entire body was instantly covered with a thin layer of peach pink.
Xiao Li's eyes darkened, and he looked away calmly, but he couldn't help but think in his heart -
I turn red when I'm angry, I turn red when I'm shy, so does that also happen in bed?
As they were about to enter the city, Lu Yuan quickly took back his backpack and put it on his back. This time Xiao Li did not refuse him.
This time when Lu Yuan came to the city, he felt more relaxed than ever before. The heavy weight on his shoulders reminded him all the time that he was thankful for someone.
"Um...thank you for carrying my things for so long. When I sell the mountain products, I'll treat you to some steamed buns!"
When talking about food, the boy's eyes sparkled. Even though his handsome face had been deliberately uglier, it couldn't hide his beautiful and alluring eyes.
Xiao Li had plenty of food to eat, but seeing the young man's cheerful look, he couldn't say no.
He nodded slightly, "Okay."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan's smile grew even brighter. "Then when you're done, come find me at the market in the west district. There's a grocery store there. I'll be waiting for you there."
On the way, he asked Xiao Li why he was going to the county. Knowing that he was there to visit his classmates, he did not agree on a specific meeting time.
Xiao Li responded with a "OK" and looked at the Nan'an County gate right in front of him. He turned his head to look at the happy young man beside him.
"Is there anything you like?"
"Huh?" Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then said as a matter of course, "I like silver!"
Xiao Li: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "Besides silver?"
"Gold!" When he said this, the boy seemed to see the shining gold, and his teeth were showing.
Seeing this, Xiao Li crossed his arms and looked at him with a half-smile, "You're still a little money-grubber?"
Lu Yuan snorted lightly, but didn't deny it. She muttered softly, "Who doesn't love silver and gold? What's wrong with being a money-grubber? You don't need to support a money-grubber!"
Xiao Li reminded him in a quiet tone: "You will soon be supported by me."
Lu Yuan stopped dead in her tracks, realizing belatedly that he was her future husband, whom she had tricked into marrying. They would soon be engaged and married...
Xiao Li watched him turn red little by little, his dark eyes filled with a doting smile.
"It's okay to be a money-grubber. I should be able to support a little money-grubber."
“…Who, who wants you to support them?”
The young man was obviously lacking in confidence, and after saying that, he ran away with his things on his back.
