Chapter 68 The Hypocritical and Greedy Childhood Sweetheart 06

I touched my neck; it was a little sore.

“You fell asleep in the bamboo forest. I went in and found you, so I brought you back.” Shen Yu sat down on the bed and reached out to press down a few strands of hair on his head.

Wu Tongxue remembered hearing a gust of wind before she fell asleep. After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out. Could it be that she was too tired from climbing the mountain today?

The room was simply furnished with little decoration, which was in line with Dr. Liu's usual style.

This is the room that Shen Yu is staying in.

Seeing him staring blankly, Shen Yu asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"

He frowned slightly, raised the back of his hand and touched Wu Tongxue's forehead, but Wu Tongxue quickly dodged away, saying, "I'm fine."

"Thank you." Looking at the sky, she hurriedly threw back the covers and realized, "It's too late, I need to go home."

It was getting dark, and his family was probably coming to look for him, so he had to hurry back.

"Not urgent."

"Huh?" Wu Tongxue saw her feet, which were smooth and white, and she was not wearing shoes or socks. She felt a little embarrassed.

It's really impolite to sleep in someone else's bed, especially barefoot.

She looked up and met Shen Yu's gaze. Feeling awkward, she turned her head away. "Um, where are my cotton socks?"

Wu Tongxue looked around, searching for her socks.

It was sewn by his mother using the softest cotton cloth, and it was very comfortable to wear.

Suddenly, her ankle felt warm, and a large hand gently grasped her ankle bone. Wu Tongxue looked over and saw Shen Yu.

Shen Yu looked down at the jade-like foot in her hand. It was fair and smooth, with an excellent feel. The toes were a light pink color, which was very cute.

"What are you doing?" Wu Tongxue asked nervously.

Could it be that she discovered his spying and is now looking for him to settle scores?

My heart was in my throat as I watched Shen Yu's every move.

His dark, clear eyes widened further, and his lips were slightly pursed, like a startled cat.

Shen Yu raised her other hand, and Wu Tongxue looked at it expectantly, noticing a pair of brand-new cotton socks.

"Slow down, let me put them on for you first." Shen Yu calmly put the new socks on him.

Wu Tongxue spoke softly, trying to stop him, "Actually, I can do it myself."

If it weren't for the intense pressure emanating from Shen Yu, as if a storm was brewing, Wu Tongxue would have loved to kick him away.

Sensing his emotions, Shen Yu composed herself and reassured him, "This is what I should do."

She looked up at him and said in a clear, cool voice, "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace."

Wu Tongxue rubbed her cheeks with her palms, feeling very uncomfortable. She was already halfway through getting dressed, so she decided to let it be.

Because she personally put socks on someone to repay a life-saving debt, Wu Tongxue pondered Shen Yu's personality.

He was surprisingly polite, almost too polite.

During the journey, Shen Yu's hand accidentally touched the sole of Wu Tongxue's foot, and Wu Tongxue flinched.

When Shen Yu looked over, she blinked and said, "It's a little itchy."

Shen Yu: "Mm."

Then, she accidentally bumped her instep again. Wu Tongxue didn't react and turned her head to look at the sky.

It's getting dark, and I haven't eaten yet.

After putting on her shoes and socks, Wu Tongxue jumped up and took a few steps, then scooped up Xiao Hei. "I'm leaving now."

"I'll take you home. It's getting dark, and it's not safe on the road."

Shen Yu carried a lantern and escorted the person all the way to their doorstep.

"Alright, thank you. You should go back now." Wu Tongxue carried Xiao Hei and dashed inside.

Shen Yu watched him go inside, stood there for a while, and then turned and left.

The guards felt like they had experienced a magical day. Was their master really such a kind person?

Not only did she personally take care of people's rest, but she also personally washed and dried cotton socks.

In the middle of the night, Wu Tongxue woke up groggily and suddenly remembered that her old socks were missing.

But I was so tired that I fell asleep again soon after, and the matter was temporarily put out of my mind.

-

Upon hearing that Liu Qingce had returned from town, Wu Tongxue naturally went over to look for food.

A woman was embroidering a handkerchief under the eaves. When she saw him coming, she smiled and pointed to a room, "Ce'er just came back."

"Aunt Qing." After greeting her obediently, Wu Tongxue walked to the door and knocked.

A moment later, the door opened and Wu Tongxue went in.

"What did you buy in town this time?" Wu Tongxue skillfully occupied the seat behind the desk, rested her head on the table, and asked Liu Qingce.

Liu Qingce picked up a book and flipped through it, then casually found a seat and sat down. "I bought a few books."

"What?" Wu Tongxue sat up straight. "You didn't buy roast duck?"

Liu Qingce looked up and raised his eyebrows. "When did I say I wanted to buy roast duck?"

Wu Tongxue hated his appearance. He was clearly full of bad intentions, but he had the face of a scholar, looking righteous and upright.

It made me feel less hypocritical; it's all this guy's fault.

"Ah..." Wu Tongxue's body went limp again, and she slumped onto the desk, wailing, "Why isn't it here?"

Liu Qingce walked over with his hands behind his back, looking down at him.

The warm sunlight streamed in through the window, making the fine downy hairs on her profile clearly visible. Her dark eyes were clear and bright, and even her melancholy looked adorable.

A few strands of hair meandered and fell down her neck, the contrast between white and black clearly visible in the sunlight.

Liu Qingce glanced at it, turned around, went out to get a package, and placed it under someone's nose.

"Huh?" Wu Tongxue twitched his nose; he smelled the aroma of roast duck.

Liu Qingce: "Don't eat in the study."

Wu Tongxue knew his habits and that he didn't like strong smells in the study; fruit was already the limit.

but--

Who told him to tease people just now? Wu Tongxue doesn't want him to get his way.

He thought for a moment, and when Liu Qingce refused for the third time, he slipped away. He hadn't gotten any progress on the mission for a long time.

Wu Tongxue took the packaged roast duck from his hand, looked at him with innocent eyes, and said, "No, I want to eat it here."

"No."

"Liu Qingce, I won't listen. I want to eat here. Are you disgusted with me?" Wu Tongxue argued unreasonably.

Liu Qingce, who only complained about the strong smell of the food, said: "I didn't complain about you."

"The study is not a place to eat."

Wu Tongxue replied indifferently, "Oh, no."

Wu Tongxue stood up, ready to leave after he refused.

Liu Qingce frowned, observing his expression, and said helplessly, "Then you can eat by the window."

Wu Tongxue instantly uttered the refusal in her mind, "No."

He strode to the door, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked, "...What did you just say?"

Liu Qingce personally pulled the person back and sighed, "I said you should sit here and eat."

Wu Tongxue, who sat back down at her desk, asked, "?"

"!"

There are books on the desk!

Liu Qingce stood at a distance with the book in his hand and began to read.

Just as Wu Tongxue was reflecting on whether she had gone too far, the lack of progress in the mission made her conscience turn cold again.

"Woo." A very soft woof.

It's hard.

He grabbed the table with his head!

It's been a year, and Liu Qingce hasn't given him any progress on his mission.

He doesn't react when you rob him of his money; he'll even offer you gifts. He doesn't react when you bully him behind his back.

Oh, you seem to enjoy bullying yourself.

"?" Liu Qingce watched as he smacked his lips on the table before tidying up his books and starting to eat roast duck, his expression even showing a hint of grief and indignation.

what happened?

But seeing that he was eating properly, I didn't pay any attention and went back to reading.
