C79 (2/2)

”...”

72 Fengyuan Street, Huai Wang Manor.

This was the first time Lu Jinniang had knocked on the main door to ask for an audience, so he was inexplicably excited and nervous. Then, he felt that his novelty and excitement had come to an inexplicable extent after being led to the parlour by a servant of the Duke Huai Palace.

Moreover, there were very few servants, and many places were neglected to take care of. However, thinking about the fact that Duke Huai had been living in the prefecture for a long time and had only been back for a few months, it was clear that he would return to the feudal fiefdom sometime.

After hearing the servants say that Xiao Su would only be back after a while, Lu Jinsheng was in no hurry. He sat in the parlour for a while and walked around the yard.

In the center of the courtyard, there was a flower bed. The fresh cut marks on the verdant and verdant lawn were clearly visible. Pink and tender peach blossoms hung from the branches, and some of them had already bloomed.

There was a transparent mist on the petals and branches of the flowers. Lu Jinniang stood on tiptoe and approached the nearest peach flower. He stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked the dew that had been soaked by the stamens.

The soft tongue, the soft petals and the sweet dew had created a wonderful refreshing taste. After Lu Jinsheng finished licking it, he even took a sip.

”So sweet.”

Far away in the corridor, Xiao Su stared at her in a daze. Her white clothes were otherworldly, and her long hair fluttered in the wind.

Xiao Su had always known that escaping was not the way to solve problems. If he wanted to solve control problems, he had to face them head on. He had always done this, so he did not deny that he liked Lu JinNian.

He hadn't seen Lu JinNian in the past two days, nor had he thought about her on his own initiative, so he felt that he had controlled himself. He didn't think that all of his self-control would crumble the moment he saw her.

The space was so quiet that it seemed as if it had frozen. His feet were rooted in place as he forgot how to react. He did not know what to do next. He could only hear the sound of his own heart beating — Putong, Putong.

A warm, humid wind blew past. Lu JinNian tucked his hair behind his ears, looked at Xiao Su and waved his hand, ”Hey, I've been waiting for you, Su Su.”

Seeing that Xiao Su was still standing there without moving, she tilted her head and tiptoed over to her. ”What's wrong with you?”

Xiao Su looked at the little girl in front of her, blinked her eyes, and then controlled her impulse to hug him tightly, ”I-It's nothing, A Jin's looking for me?”

Lu Jinniang frowned, ”It's fine. Every time I see you, you don't look too good. Are you really feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

Xiao Su shook her head. Seeing that he denied it, Lu JinNian could not say anything else, ”Alright then. This is not a good place to talk, let's go back to the house and talk.”

With that, he grabbed Xiao Su's hand and walked into the parlour. It was windy outside, but they had to stand for the sake of not getting tired … Cough cough, taking care of this unconscious patient is a necessity.

The other hand in his palm was smaller than his. The moment he moved, his hand would be completely covered by his palm. It would be warmer than his hand, and it would be completely different from his body temperature, which was always lower than an ordinary person's, softer than his … En, very easy to pinch.

Xiao Su's eyes fell on the handshake. This was the first time Lu Jinniang had taken the initiative to hold his hand. Since he couldn't control it for now, he might as well let it go for now.
