Chapter 65:  Chapter 62: Reunion with an Old Friend, Nan Tianzong’s Unspeakable Sufferings

Gently biting a candied haw, the sweet and sour taste immediately whirled in her mouth, making Liu Sisi’s bright moon-like eyes squint contentedly.

Hearing Di Yelei’s words, she let out an unhappy hum: “What are you talking about? Girls should be pampered! Besides, it’s just two strings of candied haws, how could it spoil a child? Humph!”

While talking, she also wrinkled her cute little nose.

“You really…”

Di Yelei shook his head helplessly with a smile. In his eyes, Liu Sisi was still a child herself, and this childish side of her was exactly what he treasured the most.

It was hard on her to marry an “old man” like himself at such a young age, really wronging her!

“Here! You have one too. These candied hawthorns are sweet and sour, and they taste so good!”

Liu Sisi held up the string of candied haws, stood on tiptoes to close the distance between them, and brought the candied haws to his mouth.

Di Yelei wanted to refuse, but he couldn’t resist her sparkling eyes, so he lowered his head and bit a candied haw.

The sour and sweet taste instantly filled his mouth, making his taste buds come alive. An indescribable feeling spread in his heart, just like this candied haw, sour and sweet, sweet and sour.

“What do you think? These candied haws are delicious, aren’t they?”

Liu Sisi’s eyes narrowed as she smiled, and she couldn’t help but think of those creative sweets from her previous life.

It’s just a pity that she never learned how to make cakes and desserts. It’s truly a pity now, missing out on so many delicious treats…

“Don’t move! Look at you!”

Di Yelei suddenly called her: “You got sugar all over your face. Come on, let me wipe it off for you…”

As he spoke, he gently rolled up his sleeves, carefully wiping away the sugar residue on her small chin.

“Where? Is there any more on my face?”

Liu Sisi swung her head from side to side, trying to give Di Yelei a clearer view.

But when she turned her head, she met his suddenly deep and immeasurable eyes, her cheeks turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

Her shyness made him unable to help but chuckle, causing Liu Sisi to blush even more and glare at him fiercely while pretending to be angry.

A hero’s anger is for the beauty, and a beauty’s smile is for the city.

Indeed, an angry beauty has a unique charm.

“Ahem! It’s getting late, let’s go home.”

Only then did Di Yelei come back to his senses, remembering that he had been staring like a youngster on the street, and felt secretly annoyed.

“Indeed, it’s getting late. Let’s go.”

Liu Sisi did not dare to look up at him, walking ahead with her head down.

As they passed a bookstore, Liu Sisi couldn’t help but stop. She suddenly remembered that she should buy a set of calligraphy tools for Di Xuan.

This bookstore connected to three common sleeping areas, and from outside, it was fully stocked with various books, paper, and other four treasures of the study.

What caught Liu Sisi’s attention the most was a recruitment advertisement standing at the entrance of the store: “Our shop is hiring a waiter, capable of writing and calculating, and not to provide food and lodging. To work on market days. Five maces of silver monthly…”
