C35 (1/2)

It was a sunny morning.

Qing Jue walked on the most bustling street in the capital while carrying a pot of fragrant ”red flowers”. After he walked for a few steps, he stopped and raised his wine pot to his head to drink.

Once, when he had drunk a mouthful and was feeling completely satisfied, he suddenly discovered that there were a few black and white puppies circling around his feet. A few pairs of black and white eyes were staring at the wine jug in Qing Jue's hand, as if they were waiting for this sad looking man to fall at any moment, then they could rush over and seize the source of the fragrance.

Looking at those black eyes that didn't seem to know how to keep their thoughts in check, he couldn't help but find it funny.

He shook his body and squatted down to touch the puppies. These puppies who were not born yet were not afraid of strangers. They shook their tails happily, not licking the back of their palms with their pink tongues.

People came and went as they watched the handsome, melancholy man tease a few cute little dogs. Gradually, the sadness in his eyes became less intense.

”Wealth …” Wandin... ”Wang Fu …”

All they could hear was a series of delicate cries. The puppies that were surrounding the green awl, asking to be petted, turned their heads back one after another.

Uncle Wang, have you seen my Wangcai, Wangding, Wangfu?” When Qing Jue heard the question from a little girl, he couldn't help but look over, he saw a little girl holding a bunch of bright red candied fruits, tiptoeing and asking a strong man who was carrying half a pork on his back.

The brawny man had no time to pay attention to her. He was busy delivering pork to the winery, so he had no time to bother with these trivial matters.

Usually, the puppies of the little girl would go to the pork stall of the hulks the most, but all she did was buy a bunch of candied fruits and the puppies wouldn't play around the pork stall!

”Woof, woof …”

One of them barked sharply at the little girl who was looking around and asking people about her puppies. The other puppies responded, and Qing Jue heard a ”woof woof” sound beside his ear.

The little girl heard the puppy dog cry and turned around. Seeing the dogs, she ran towards the direction of Qing Jue with curved eyebrows.

”Ha!” So you are here! What are you guys doing here? ” The little girl was asking about her puppy dog, but her gaze was fixated on Qing Jue.

Ah!” What a beautiful brother!

The little girl's eyes were filled with love.

Looking at the little girl and the little dog that was jumping around her, Qing Jue couldn't help but reveal an enchanting smile, which made the little girl even more dazed.

However, when his gaze stopped at the little girl's candied fruits, his smile slowly froze.

How much did this smiling little girl with the candied fruits look like her childhood self! Qing Jue thought to himself.

Qing Jue stood up, raised his wine pot and took another sip, and then prepared to leave.

”Ah Jun, you're back!” A shout came from the distance.

The little girl replied crisply, ”Oh, I'll be back soon!”

The little girl bit down on one or two candied fruits in her hand, and then stuffed the remaining candied fruits into Qing Jue's hand, saying solemnly, ”Brother, when you're in a bad mood, eat the candied fruits, and your mood will immediately improve!”

When Qing Jue heard this, his whole body froze!

Looking at the little girl skipping away, he saw that there were several puppies following behind her. Qing Jue stood far away in a daze, almost dropping the wine jug in his hands.

He remembered that when he was young, his Ah Jun had said the same thing to him. Just a moment ago, Qing Jue had almost thought that he had returned to that day.

It was early winter evening, and the weather was too cold.

He somewhat did not want to cultivate, so when his master was not paying attention, he secretly took shelter.
