Golden Branch

Lou Yu held Wang Heng in one hand, lowered his eyes, and saw a neck that was so white that it was glowing.

He was so close to the neck that the hot air he exhaled could even touch the fine hairs on it.

This close distance allowed him to see more clearly.

The neck is snow-white, like solidified fat and white jade, with fine skin lines and almost invisible hair.

This was not the most fatal thing. What made Lou Yu's mouth dry and his heart beat faster was the refreshing sweet fragrance.

So sweet and fragrant!

Gudong!

Lou Yu felt his throat was extremely dry and he swallowed instinctively.

But it’s still easy to do.

He couldn't help but lick his lips.

He seemed to be in a strange state, unable to hear the sounds around him and unable to sense the presence of other people.

But I could hear his pounding heartbeat and his quacking voice, like a drake: "Fat girl, did you eat lychees?"

Probably eaten.

Otherwise, why would she smell like lychees?

Wang Heng did not notice anything unusual about Lou Yu. With her childish nature, she also treated Lou Yu as her "brother."

Even though she had just witnessed a flirtatious scene between a boy and a girl, Wang Heng didn't connect it to herself.

As for the posture of himself and Lou Yu, to outsiders, it might have crossed the line and had some color.

Wang Heng had long been accustomed to it.

Friends who grew up together may not hug each other all day long, but there is no real separation between men and women.

She heard Lou Yu's question, and although she was puzzled, she still answered obediently: "Not yet! I asked someone to put it in the ice container, thinking that we could eat it together when my brother came!"

Speaking of this, Wang Heng felt a little guilty.

Well, Lou Yu was not her first choice for a “food partner”.

It’s not that she has no conscience, but she thinks of Lou Yu first when she has something delicious.

But Lou Yu is not a person who is greedy for food.

He can eat delicacies.

He can eat simple meals.

He did come from a wealthy family, but he had also served in the military.

As long as you stay in the military camp or march in the wild, it is difficult to be truly "particular".

Moreover, Lou Yu developed a high level of self-control and self-discipline by learning from Yang Rui and Shen Du.

Gluttony and the pursuit of enjoyment are also a kind of shackles.

Lou Yu would never let these things hinder his growth or become a burden to him.

If he wants to become a truly strong man, he will not be influenced or bound by any external things.

When Lou Yu was eating, it was impossible to tell whether he liked it or disliked it.

No matter what I eat, I always feel calm and indifferent.

No more than three bites of each dish.

Eating is just to fill your stomach and survive, not to enjoy and live.

It's quite boring to have a meal with such a person and say something that may hurt his feelings.

Wang Heng is a little foodie.

When you eat delicious and favorite food, your eyes light up.

She enjoys eating, and people can also feel her respect for food and the enjoyment of indulging in it.

Watching Wang Heng eat makes me very hungry.

Shen Du’s anorexia was able to slowly recover, all thanks to Wang Heng, the lucky “foodie”.

Wang Heng enjoys delicious food, but she can't stand Lou Yu "wasting" the delicious food.

Amian and Shisan Niang are better. Eating with them makes you feel happy and the atmosphere is relaxed, which enhances the taste of the food.

This is the truth, but I can't say it to Lou Yu.

Wang Heng knew this when she was only six years old. Now that she is thirteen, she will naturally not do anything stupid.

She smiled sweetly, and her bright big eyes were full of Lou Yu's reflection.

Lou Yu felt increasingly hot and for the first time, he did not continue to look at Wang Heng, but instead looked away uncomfortably.

His hand, which was holding Wang Heng's plump waist, seemed to be burned by something.

He quickly took it back.

Wang Heng: ...What happened to Lou Yu?

Is the voice change period so magical?

It's fine if the voice is unpleasant and the person doesn't like to talk, but why do people become so weird and strange?

……

Lou Yu didn't lose his composure for too long. After a moment, he calmed down.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with him, he was used to controlling himself perfectly.

No matter how flustered he was, Lou Yu would try to calm down and remain composed as soon as possible.

Taking a deep breath, Lou Yu stood up and habitually reached out to hold Wang Heng's chubby hand.

His fingertips had already touched Wang Heng's sleeve, but he suddenly stopped and quickly put them behind him.

Lou Yu's body stiffened slightly, realizing that he had lost his composure again.

However, he did not show any expression of shame or anger, but stood with his hands behind his back without leaving any trace.

Well, he is still the handsome and elegant young man.

Lou Yu glanced at Wang Heng and swallowed the words "Let's go".

Cough cough, after calming down, Lou Yu thought about his hoarse throat.

He turned around and strode towards Haitang Courtyard.

Wang Heng: ...I can bear it! Who told you it's a special period now?

Be pretentious if you want to, you are a little princess after all!

Wang Heng continued to smile, took a few quick steps, and followed Lou Yu closely: "Brother, let's go eat lychees!"

One of them was walking away, while the other was chasing.

One has a calm face, is cold and reserved, the other is smiling sweetly and chattering.

If someone who is not familiar with them sees them, they will definitely misunderstand their relationship - it doesn't seem like childhood sweethearts with a deep affection, but more like a little fat rabbit madly biting a cold flower.

In fact, even those who are familiar with the two people will not be able to help but think too much when they see the sudden "strangeness" between them:

Could it be that Young Master Lou has grown up, started to understand matters between men and women, and understand the difference between beauty and ugliness, and therefore he dislikes the chubby Jiu Niang?

Come to think of it, Mr. Lou is of noble birth, has a famous master, and is as handsome as a banished immortal.

No matter in terms of status, talent, or appearance, not to mention in this remote Yizhou, even in the prosperous and beautiful capital city with its outstanding people and beautiful scenery, Lou Yu is still an outstanding person.

Wang Heng is not ugly, she just doesn't conform to the mainstream aesthetic.

She is too plump, but she is "not ashamed of it, but proud of it".

Every time I see Wang Heng having not only main meals, but also snacks and midnight snacks, and she never leaves her snack basket, some people can't help but secretly dislike her:

Is this a noble girl from aristocratic family, or a reincarnated starving ghost?

Not to mention men, even women would feel disgusted when seeing such an undisciplined and self-loving glutton!

Wang Heng didn't know that she had been disliked by others, and she didn't know that her relationship with Lou Yu had been misunderstood or even misinterpreted.

Wang Heng's mind was entirely focused on the delicious food she was about to eat. If she had some free time, she would at most coax a certain pretentious young man and pay attention to Zheng Shisan's "love affair".

"Brother, as I recall, Thirteenth Lady is only a few months younger than you. She must be fourteen this year, right?"

Wang Heng moved closer to Lou Yu and asked in a low voice.

Lou Yu: ...a bean sprout. I keep her and feed her just to make the fat girl happy.

Why would Lou Yu care about Zheng Shisan’s birthday?

He didn't even look at this cheap cousin.

She looked skinny and with tears in her eyes at every turn, looking pitiful... as if she had been abused in the Lou family.

Of course, Lou Yu didn't take good care of her.

But the fat girl is very nice to Zheng Shisan.

Her food, clothing, housing, transportation, and other expenses were all compared to those of the first-class maids around her.

To put it bluntly, Zheng Shisan's spending over the years has been more than that of Zheng Chi, who was pampered in the Zheng family!

The fat girl has never been treated badly, but these bean sprouts still look malnourished and are really not presentable.

As a result, there are actually fools who like such an ugly thing.

Lou Yu appears to be handsome and gentle on the outside, but he is still that sharp-tongued and naughty kid on the inside.

He looked down on Zheng Shisan, and also disliked Yang Shisanlang who admired Zheng Shisan: his eyesight was not good, and he was a stupid person!

This guy is actually Yang Rui's cousin.

Lou Yu silently made a black mark on Yang Shisilang in his little notebook.

Lou Yu was complaining madly in his heart, but his mouth seemed to be sealed, and he didn't answer Wang Heng a single word.

He just glanced at Wang Heng indifferently.

Wang Heng: ...I see! What the Little Overlord meant was: How could I remember the birthday of a bean sprout?

"A-Mian has found her true love and is about to get engaged. Shisan Niang also has an admirer... Everyone, you've all grown up!"

Even without Lou Yu's response, Wang Heng could still chat with him.

She felt a little disappointed when she thought that neither her eldest daughter-in-law nor her illegitimate daughter-in-law could accompany her to eat lychees today.

Lou Yu's gaze fell on Wang Heng:

grow up?

Lou Yu didn’t know whether Wang Mian and Zheng Shisan had grown up.

But the fat girl in front of me seems, seems, really different from when she was a child.

Lou Yu stretched out his right hand.

His hands were white and slender, with distinct joints.

On the back of the hand, several blue blood vessels protruded slightly.

There were thin calluses on the pads of several of his fingers, left by holding a pen, drawing a bow, or wielding a knife.

Just now, behind the courtyard gate, Lou Yu used this hand to hug Wang Heng's waist.

There was a soft little piece of flesh when he touched it, but his thumb seemed to touch something softer.

That is--

Lou Yu's gaze shifted once again to Wang Heng's neck... and below...

boom!

Lou Yu finally realized what that was.

He certainly hadn't figured it out yet, but he was smart, he was well-read, and he'd even been to the river camp, which was full of rough guys.

Not to mention that group of old ruffians, even a gentleman like Yang Rui would talk about all kinds of topics when he sat with the soldiers to eat and drink.

Lou Yu also went to taverns and music schools with some playboys and talented men. They would not say obscene words directly, but they would recite poems and write couplets.

At that time, Lou Yu didn't understand matters between men and women. He could understand what was said, but he didn't want to listen more.

At this moment, his ability to remember what he heard began to work wonders:

What is "thin ice skin", what is "a ball of soft and translucent"...

boom!

Not only did Lou Yu's ears turn red, but his fair face was also burned red.

Unfortunately, Wang Heng didn't know about Lou Yu's condition, and she had already ordered someone to bring some chilled lychees.

"Brother!"

Wang Heng placed a plate of lychees in front of Lou Yu and greeted him enthusiastically, "Eat them quickly! They're sweet and delicious!"

Lou Yu: ...It’s really sweet. The fat girl is exuding the sweet aroma of lychee all over!
