For some reason, Lu Xingyue suddenly felt a little playful and said deliberately, "No, it's for Mulang."
Shen Lansui's eyes dimmed instantly, she pushed his hand away in disgust, leaned back on the cushion, and snorted, "I knew they wouldn't give it to me if they didn't pick the rest."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lu Xingyue.
That expression and tone made it look like Sister Lin was alive.
Lu Xingyue couldn't pretend anymore, so he sat down by the couch and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, it's for you. No one else has touched it, and it's still hot."
Shen Lansui raised his eyes slightly, "Really?"
Lu Xingyue nodded.
She immediately sat up and took the bag. As soon as she opened it, she was immediately filled with sweetness and a little burnt smell.
"Roasted chestnuts with sugar, I haven't eaten them in a long time!" She had eaten them once in her previous life. That time she performed well on a task and was summoned by her superiors to eat a few in the living room of her home.
She has been thinking about it since then, but unfortunately she never had the chance to eat it again.
I didn’t expect to get such a big package today!
Lu Xingyue looked into her bright eyes and said warmly: "I actually bought two packs, but I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to finish them, so I'll share that pack with others."
"I can't finish this bag." Shen Lansui thought about putting the bag on it, then stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
Lu Xingyue thought about it more and went.
The two of them came back and sat on opposite sides. Shen Lansui picked up the chestnuts, and they were indeed still warm. She peeled them carefully, but her movements were obviously unskilled. She often couldn't peel them well, but she was not discouraged, and she didn't delay if she couldn't peel them well. She eats.
Seeing how delicious she was eating, Lu Xingyue wanted to give it a try again.
Before he could take action, Shen Lansui handed over a chestnut kernel and said with a smile, "Try it?"
Lu Xingyue's heart moved and he turned his head to bite the chestnut kernel. His drooping eyelashes covered his eyes like blue waves.
Shen Lansui didn't know when he held his breath.
There was a sudden heat on her fingertips, and Lu Xingyue's breath blew over her, as if she had been burned. She couldn't help but curl her fingers.
Lu Xingyue saw it. He bit the chestnut kernel and straightened up, staring at Shen Lansui.
No one said anything, but the atmosphere became inexplicably ambiguous.
Shen Lansui watched Li Ziren disappear between his lips, watching him chew it, and couldn't help but want to look away, but Lu Xingyue kept looking at her, and she seemed to lose if she looked away first.
Unable to look away, she changed the subject.
"Why did you come back so early today? Aren't you very busy these days?"
After asking, she squeezed her hands tightly. What was she asking? ! Why does this sound so strange?
She simply dared not look directly into Lu Xingyue's eyes.
Lu Xingyue paused for a moment, then laughed softly, "Sorry, I'm really busy these days."
Brother, it seems even weirder when you apologize!
The strength in her hand became heavier, but the back of her hand suddenly felt warm. She raised her eyes suddenly and saw Lu Xingyue holding her hand with one hand, and with the other hand, he rescued Li Ziren, who had been crushed into pieces.
"Let it go." Lu Xingyue sighed.
Shen Lansui's ears instantly burned.
She quickly let go of the chestnut kernel and was about to eat the corpse to destroy the traces. Unexpectedly, Lu Xingyue directly stuffed the chestnut kernel into his own mouth.
Shen Lansui: "???"
Something's wrong with you!
Lu Xingyue finished eating with a normal expression and looked over in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"No...it's okay."
Shen Lansui felt that he was not very sober now. If he said more, he would be wrong. It was better not to say anything.
She made up her mind, lowered her head and concentrated on fighting the chestnut shell, and ignored Lu Xingyue.
Lu Xingyue didn't care. He peeled off the shells calmly and occasionally glanced at Shen Lansui.
In fact, he lied again just now. He is not busy at all these days and can handle those things during the day. The reason why he goes out early and comes back late every day is purely to avoid her.
That day he had dreams he shouldn't have had and had reactions he shouldn't have. He always felt ashamed of Shen Lansui and didn't dare to see her at all.
After living for so many years, Lord Lu knew for the first time what it meant to have a guilty conscience.
So I hid for several days.
But that night he saw Shen Lan Suimo's poem, and he didn't want to hide anymore. Today, when he saw the miracle doctor and heard her talk about Madam, he realized clearly - he actually wanted to see her, really wanted to see her. .
He lowered his eyes and pushed the peeled chestnut kernels in front of him to Shen Lansui, "Eat it."
Shen Lansui was stunned, "Don't you want to eat?"
Lu Xingyue shook his head, "One or two is enough for me."
Shen Lansui looked at the piled plates and felt that his heart was filled with something.
The previous awkwardness also disappeared.
"Madam, sir, the concierge has sent a greeting card."
Shang Xia came in and handed the greeting card to Shen Lansui.
Shen Lansui was surprised: "For me?"
Shang Xia nodded, "The concierge said it was sent to Madam by the Ruan Mansion."
Ruan Mansion?
Shen Lansui understood, "Did Zanghua give it to me?"
When she was looking for a handkerchief, Lu Xingyue handed one over.
She smiled and said, "Thank you."
After taking it and wiping her hands, she took the greeting card and read it. Sure enough, it was written by Ruan Huai.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xingyue wiped his hands with the handkerchief, picked up the teapot and poured tea.
"Zanghua asked me to have tea and listen to books in three days."
Shen Lansui paused for a moment after speaking, but she made an appointment to see Jin Jianyun and Lu Xingyue in three days.
Lu Xingyue saw the hesitation on her face and asked, "Don't want to go?"
"I think." Shen Lansui pondered for a moment and asked Shang Xia: "Are the people from Ruan Mansion still there?"
Shang Xia nodded.
Shen Lansui made a decision in his mind, "Go and tell him that I will be there on time in three days."
"yes."

When Lu Xingyue was taking a bath at night, Shen Lansui called Guan Chun in and whispered: "Tell Meng Cheng to bring a message to Yi Su. Just say that I won't go in three days. I will go on the fourth day and let her Tell Mr. Jin and others that if they ask about the reason, don’t answer, just say that I have something to do.”
"My slave understands." Guan Chun hurried away.
Shen Lan was relieved, combed her hair and went to bed.
Lu Xingyue came out after a while. He still had a slight limp when walking, but it was not as obvious as before.
He sat down by the bed, holding a handkerchief in his hand, "Are you still doing business?"
Shen Lan smiled and said, "Let's do it. How can we not do the business that is delivered to our door? Sir, please sit down."
She took the handkerchief from his hand and stood up, kneeling on the bed.
Lu Xingyue turned his back with a smile, lowered his head slightly and waited.
Shen Lansui quietly used some supernatural powers while wiping. Lu Xing became less aware of anything unusual and felt warm all over his body. He thought it was because of the bath, and he became more relaxed.
"alright."
Shen Lansui patted Lu Xingyue's hair.
Lu Xingyue went to hang up the handkerchief, and when he came back, he turned off the lights. He put down the bed curtain, and after lying down, he said as if unintentionally: "I went to see the miracle doctor today."
Shen Lansui blinked, "Really? What did the miracle doctor say?"
"They said it could be cured, and they used gold needles to prick my acupuncture points. I think it is indeed effective." Lu Xingyue said in a relaxed tone.
Shen Lansui was overjoyed, "It's good if it works. I just say you can't give up if you have hope."
Lu Xingyue responded in a low voice, then turned his head and whispered after a moment: "Thank you."
Shen Lansui's ears went numb and she shrank into the quilt, "Thank you for what I did. You should thank the miracle doctor."
Lu Xingyue shook his head and repeated, "Thank you."
Thank you for persevering and strengthening my resolve. (End of chapter)
