But it was laurel.
When Jin Xiaolou came to this era, she was the first person who gave her warmth, allowing her to walk step by step until she reached this day.
Even if she was facing an unmistakable abyss, she would still have to jump.
Jin Xiaolou took a deep breath and said a few words to Lv Yun. Then she turned to look at the smiling Fu Niang in the flowers, and walked away with the child.
In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set and the clouds were obscuring the sky and the sun was about to set, Mr Yu put away his paintbrush, and only drew a small part of the advertisement. At this rate, he would have to stay in the Rainbow Garden for at least ten to fifteen days.
On the other hand, Mr Yu was not in a hurry. He was eating well in Rainbow Garden, and he wished that he could be slower by thirty percent with each stroke, extending the ten days to half a year, and three to five years …
Just as Fu Niang walked out of the flower bush, beads of rain the size of beans rained down from the sky. Some Little Maid immediately held up umbrellas and sent Fu Niang back to the pavilion at the east side.
Even though Little Maid had given her all, the hem of her shoulders were still soaked by the heavy rain. Little Maid knew that Fu Niang was her master's esteemed guest and was extremely flustered, but she did not expect Fu Niang to not mind at all. She brushed off the rain on her body and continued to push open the door.
The moment he stepped into the house, he saw Jin Xiaolou waiting alone inside. A thin layer of light seeped in from the window and onto Jin Xiaolou's body, her expression was warm and gentle, causing Fu Niang's heart to palpitate uncontrollably. She felt that this face was extremely familiar.
Fu Niang pinched her own palm, allowing the pain to keep her head clear. She then slowly bowed and asked softly: ”Boss Jin is waiting for me in my room. Is there anything related to the advertisement?”
Jin Xiaolou shook his head: ”I just have nothing to do, and want to talk to you.”
As she spoke, Jin Xiaolou kept looking at Fu Niang's eyes. Those eyes were as innocent and transparent as before, like a reflection of the moon in the heart of a lake.
Seeing that Fu Niang's clothes were starting to get wet, since the weather was hot, and the rain was unavoidable, Jin Xiaolou was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she quickly stood up and ordered the servants outside to get some hot water. Originally, she wanted to help Fu Niang wipe her hands and feet and change her clean clothes, but Fu Niang quickly shook her head and took half a step back, refusing: ”Boss Jin does not need to worry about me, I am not a pampered person, just taking a shower is fine.
Jin Xiaolou couldn't argue with that, sshe could only find a dry handkerchief to wipe off the water droplets on her clothes. After that, he raised her hand and opened the box on the table.
Fu Niang wrinkled his nose. ”It smells so good.”
”It's your favorite Lotus Root Starch, osmanthus candy.” Jin Xiaolou followed up with a question, seemingly unintentionally but also intentionally. ”It's not easy to find these small cakes to the south in the capital, I specifically ordered the kitchen to make them, try it, do you still have the same taste as before?”
Fu Niang was stunned. She only felt that Boss Jin had said something weird, but still hesitantly picked up the pastry and bit down. There was indeed a similar feeling between his lips.
”Lotus Root Starch and osmanthus candy?” The Fu Niang muttered, ”Where is this dessert?”
”Xin Ning.” Jin Xiaolou said as she looked at Fu Niang with sparkling eyes, ”In my hometown, the most ordinary snacks are served at the Xin Ning area.”
The wrinkles on Fu Niang's forehead disappeared, and very quickly, she swallowed the candy in her hand and smiled towards Jin Xiaolou: ”Then I've never eaten before, I've never been to the Xin Ning before. However, Boss Jin has guessed correctly, this pastry really suits my taste. ”
”Just call me Lou.” Jin Xiaolou had guessed that she would deny it, hence she directly opened her mouth and said, ”The reason why I said that you liked to eat is not because I guessed, but because I know.”
It was important that she kept denying the fact that she lost her memories. Jin Xiaolou wanted to know whether it was because someone taught her to do this, or because she wanted to protect him.
