Chu Yue smiled happily and hurriedly ran to the kang to tidy up the quilt and fell asleep in it.
Lu Xinghe lay down next to Chu Yue and closed his eyes.
Chu Yue turned sideways and looked at Lu Xinghe's side face in the moonlight, her eyebrows creasing with a smile.
"Ms. sir."
Lu Xinghe glanced in her direction.
"Um?"
Chu Yue looked at him earnestly, "If you go to the capital, will you miss me?"
"Um."
Not to mention going to the capital, for the past two months in the county town, he felt uncomfortable as long as she was not around.
Habits are really scary.
I didn't feel anything in the past, but since I got used to her chirping in my ears, without her, I feel like my life is deserted.
Chu Yue seemed dissatisfied with Lu Xinghe's answer, pouting and asked, "Well, what do you mean? Do you know it or not?"
Lu Xinghe slightly raised the corners of his lips.
"meeting."
Hearing this answer, Chu Yue had a satisfied smile on her face, and then lay back on the bed.
"I can do it too."
When she said these three words, her heart was beating nervously.
Turning his head to look at the growing Chu Yue beside him, Lu Xinghe felt an inexplicable fire rising in his heart.
The next moment, the slender Adam's apple rolled obviously under the moonlight.
But soon, this fire was suppressed by him again.
The girl is still too young, no matter how uncomfortable it is, he has to endure it.
Just when he was trying his best to suppress the evil thoughts in his heart, Chu Yue suddenly came forward and hugged his arm, resting her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Feeling the little girl's soft body pressing against him, Lu Xinghe's whole body froze, and the evil fire that had just been suppressed suddenly jumped up again.
He simply closed his eyes and recited the Pure Heart Sutra silently. He did not know how long he recited it before slowly falling asleep.
…
The next day, when Chu Yue woke up, Lu Xinghe was sitting behind the desk reading.
"The food is ready. Are you hungry?"
Chu Yue rubbed her eyes, put on her clothes, stepped on her shoes and got out of bed.
"Did Aji do it?"
Lu Xinghe hummed, "He has been taking care of my daily life some time ago."
Chu Yue smiled.
"With Aji here, I don't have to worry too much about my husband's food and daily life."
I went out to wash my face, had a simple breakfast, and then went out with Lu Xinghe in my arms.
Because Lu Xinghe was nearby, Heimu followed at a distance, for fear of disturbing the two of them.
The shop opened by Shen Zhixue is on Xishui Street. There used to be four or five powder shops on this street, but due to the disaster, only two are now left.
Recently, Guan Linglong and Shen Zhixia collaborated to open another Lishui Room opposite Shen Zhixue's Hongyan Pavilion, so there are currently three cosmetics shops on this street.
One of them is a traditional powder shop, while Lishui Room imitates the products and projects of Hongyan Pavilion and begins to focus on customer service.
However, because of the excellent products developed by Chu Yue, Lishuijian's products simply cannot surpass Hongyange. Guests who have enjoyed services at Hongyange cannot be impressed by the quality of Lishuijian.
But because of their low prices, they still attract many customers.
Chu Yue has always disdained this situation. There is no value in trying to get customers at low prices.
The products she develops are all made of real materials, and the quality and cost are there. If they are too cheap, it will be meaningless.
Seeing Hongyan Pavilion from a distance, Chu Yue stopped and looked at Lu Xinghe beside her.
"Ms. sir, why don't you go back first? Hongyan Pavilion is full of women. I'm afraid it won't be inconvenient for you to go."
Lu Xinghe pointed to the tea shop next to him.
"I'll wait for you right here."
"good."
Chu Yue smiled and stood on her tiptoes, brushing Lu Xinghe's cheek lightly before quickly lifting her skirt up the steps of Hongyan Pavilion, so fast that almost no one noticed her movements.
Except for Kuroki, who was following not far away and had been paying attention to the two of them.
Looking at the scene of the little girl actively throwing herself into his arms, Kuroki frowned slightly, feeling that this scene was extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Xinghe looked at Chu Yue's back and shook his head helplessly.
This girl became more and more bold after spending time with him.
He reached out and touched his cheek, then turned and walked to the tea shop nearby.
Chu Yue just walked up the stairs and saw a girl who looked about the same age as her coming up to her.
"Nujia Chunhua, this young lady, please come inside."
Chu Yue looked at her as she walked, "Is there a girl named Qiushi here?"
Chunhua's face was full of surprise.
"How does the young lady know? Is it possible that the young lady knows sister Qiushi?"
Chu Yue smiled lightly.
"Blooming in spring and bearing fruits in autumn are called spring flowers and autumn fruits. I thought, if there are spring flowers here, there might also be autumn fruits. I don't know you, Qiushi sister, I'm just guessing."
Chunhua looked at Chu Yue, her face full of envy and admiration.
"It turns out that the young lady is still a cultural person."
"I can't say you're an educated person, but I just know a few words." Chu Yue followed Chunhua into the Hongyan Pavilion, "Is Miss Shen here today?"
Because Shen Zhixia and Guan Linglong opened a shop opposite, and fearing that something would happen to them, Shen Zhixue arranged the people around Mrs. Shen and then kept an eye on the shop in the county.
Seeing that Chu Yue was here to find Shen Zhixue, Chunhua's eyes were filled with doubts.
"Miss, what's your surname? What do you want from our boss?"
Chu Yue answered truthfully, "My name is Chu Yue. Could you please go and report this to me, girl?"
Chu Yue?
Why is this name so familiar?
As if thinking of something, Chunhua's eyes were full of excitement, "Miss, is that Dr. Chu who was in the county for disaster relief a few days ago?"
Chu Yue nodded.
"it's me."
Chunhua said quickly, "Doctor Chu, wait a moment, I will report to Dr. Chu right now."
After saying that, he looked deeply in the direction of Chu Yue again, then turned around and ran into the backyard.
Looking at the girl's expression, Chu Yue shook her head helplessly.
She wanted to keep a low profile, but because of her previous disaster relief work, she was always inexplicably admired by others. She really couldn't keep a low profile even if she wanted to.
In just a moment, Shen Zhixue came out personally.
"How come my sister didn't even say a word to me when she came to the county town?"
Chu Yue stepped forward with a smile.
"Don't you want to give Sister Shen a surprise?"
Shen Zhixue smiled and took Chu Yue to the backyard, "I have been busy dealing with Shen Zhixia these days. I heard that you were awarded a reward by the court, so I didn't even have time to congratulate you."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. I know Sister Shen is busy."
The two sat opposite each other, and Shen Zhixue poured a cup of tea for Chu Yue.
"It's still early, and there aren't many customers in the shop. My sister came to my place, but are you worried that I can't deal with Shen Zhixia?"
Chu Yue didn't hide it.
"There is this concern."
Seeing Chu Yue's frank answer, Shen Zhixue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Actually, sister, there's no need to worry. I've been fighting with Shen Zhixia for many years, and I'm very aware of her weakness."
