The Qingming rain always comes intermittently, sometimes and sometimes not.
When the crescent moon climbs up into the night sky.
The rain stopped again.
The room in the backyard of Sanwei Bookstore has been lit with candles.
Under the dim candlelight, Mu Qingwan's little face turned slightly red.
The cherry-like mouth reflected oily light.
Her eyebrows were as curved as the moon, and she looked happy.
What we eat tonight is...meat.
Make her happy.
"do not move."
Luo Heng took out the handkerchief and gently covered her mouth.
The girl remained motionless and let him wipe her.
It’s just that the curved eyebrows are becoming more and more like the crescent moon in the horizon.
"Looks like I've gained some weight."
Looking at the girl whose cheeks were getting plumper, Luo Heng couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched her.
I still remember that when I first saw the girl, she was still very thin.
Although he is not as skinny as a stick, there is not much flesh on his body, and he is very light when he is held.
"fat?"
The girl tilted her head and looked at Luo Heng.
The tone was slightly unhappy.
He said she was fat!
The word fat is always taboo for women.
Even if she is an ignorant girl.
"No, if you gain one point, you will be too fat. If you lose one point, you will be too thin. It's just right now."
Luo Heng replied with a smile.
The girl didn't understand, and her eyes were a little confused.
She can understand simple fat words now, but if it is too difficult, she is still a little confused.
"I'm telling you you're beautiful."
The girl's dull look made Luo Heng smile. He lightly tapped the tip of the girl's nose and praised.
brush.
A layer of pink appeared on the tips of the girl's ears, and her eyes began to dodge when she looked at him.
The more you understand, the more strange emotions will appear.
The girl was a little troubled.
She had never experienced such emotions before.
She was hesitant and scared, but couldn't help but want to continue experiencing it.
Luo Heng stared at the girl, then suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.
He stood and she sat on the bedside.
The two of them were close together and could feel each other's body temperature and heartbeat.
The atmosphere gradually became strange.
The candle seemed to be shy and dimmed.
The girl was flustered, but she was reluctant to leave his arms.
suddenly.
She felt a big hand caressing her face.
Very slowly, very gently.
The girl's heartbeat began to accelerate.
Thump, thump.
She gradually felt like she was following a female wolf out to hunt for the first time.
Nervous, apprehensive and exciting.
She subconsciously looked up at him.
What greeted him was his gaze, hot and intense.
Eyes facing each other.
He slowly lowered his head.
The girl's heart beat faster and faster.
I had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.
But I don't understand what can happen.
This anxiety and nervousness made her subconsciously close her eyes.
There was a strange feeling in my mouth.
The girl was startled.
Was he going to eat her?
The ignorant girl thought he was going to eat her, just like when she followed the she-wolf to hunt and happily ate the prey.
Sadness and loss struck the girl.
She didn't understand why he wanted to eat her.
Did she do something wrong?
Thinking about it, the girl's mood became more and more depressed, and her beating heart felt a little stinging.
But the expected bite did not appear.
He just gently pried her lips apart...
After a while.
The girl's eyes became misty, her cheeks were red, as if she was drunk, she was dizzy, and her mind went blank.
She subconsciously stretched out her lilac tongue and licked her lips.
Is this what it feels like for him to eat her?
It seems a bit...like.
She slowly opened her eyes, raised her head, and looked at Luo Heng.
"eat……"
She still wanted the feeling she had just now.
Luo Heng followed the good advice, lowered his head, held her face, and kissed her.
The girl's curved eyebrows suddenly raised, flying happily.
Her legs swayed on the edge of the bed, seeming to show her inner joy.
…
After coaxing the girl to sleep, Luo Heng left the wing.
It was completely dark.
Only the faint moonlight was left, falling on the earth.
Glancing at the wing next door, candlelight was dimly visible on the window paper.
Miss Ye is still awake, so she must be practicing hard.
Luo Heng didn't bother.
He had to go to a dinner party soon, but he was in no hurry.
Magistrate Bai's dinner party is a literal dinner party. It's still too late to get there now.
The dinner venue is in the south of the city.
It is only a few dozen steps away from Luoheng's Sanwei Bookstore.
After leaving the study room, lock the door.
Turn around and walk away.
Magistrate Bai's dinner party was always held in [other people's] restaurants.
The name of the restaurant [Others’ House] means that food from other people’s houses always tastes better.
There is elegance in the vulgarity.
Luo Heng knew very well that this restaurant, like Zuihonglou, was also the money bag of the big boss in the capital behind County Magistrate Bai.
It was a short walk of dozens of steps, and we arrived at the door of [someone else's house] in a short while.
The restaurant has been cleared tonight.
Only those people invited by Magistrate Bai were received.
The waiter who was standing at the door to greet guests immediately smiled and greeted Luo Heng.
"Mr. Luo, you are here, come in quickly."
His attitude seems to be more eager than other local merchants in Linxi.
Luo Heng was not surprised.
As early as three years ago, he already had some involvement with [other people's families].
After developing his cooking skills, he copied several dishes from later generations and gave them to [other people's homes].
From then on, Luo Heng became the restaurant owner's guest.
If he goes to eat at [other people's houses], he will always get free of charge.
But Luo Heng has never used such privileges.
What he is seeking is not just a small benefit such as a free meal.
Ever since he knew that he was traveling through the world in a book, he has made countless mistakes, although most of them were just idle followers, and he has yet to see any rewards.
But he knows the rewards will come.
It's just a matter of morning and evening.
The waiter took Luo Heng into the restaurant and went straight to the third floor.
[Other people’s house] has three floors.
The first and second floors are open to civilians, but the third floor is not accessible to those who are not wealthy.
As soon as he came up the stairs, Luo Heng heard the sound of loud talk.
"It's not just me bragging. There are very few in the thirteen counties of Chu who dare not give me face."
"I'm telling you, back then the Xunyang County Sheriff admired my name and sent invitations to me many times, but I ignored him. Is a mere Xunyang County Sheriff worthy of being friends with me?"
"When I went to the capital in the early years, among the princes and grandsons who filled the capital, who wouldn't be proud to meet me? There was a man named Hou. This little guy spent a lot of money to invite me to Fanlou for a banquet. , Jie Jie Jie..."
The old voice had a slightly sinister flavor, accompanied by Jie Jie's laughter, which echoed throughout the entire third floor.
When Luo Heng heard this, he knew it was Li Qianjue.
Although it is unclear why Li Qianjue also appeared at Magistrate Bai's dinner.
But he didn't think much and stepped onto the third floor with a playful expression.
He wanted to see how Li Qianjue would react when he saw him.
Will this old dog, who has always regarded life-saving as his top trick, turn around and run away like he did during the day?
Thinking in his mind, Luo Heng stepped forward.
The sound of footsteps came inside.
Li Qianjue and the surrounding gentry who had no choice but to listen to his bragging all turned their attention to the stairs.
next moment.
Li Qianjue's eloquent bragging suddenly stopped in an instant.
It was as if he was changing his face, his expression changing from excited, to stunned, to panic, to frightened.
Looking at the young and handsome face at the top of the stairs.
Li Qianjue couldn't help but tremble.
He wanted to turn around and run.
However, he found that his legs were weak.
