He is not the only one who is afraid of Mr. Xiao, the servants in the house, even Ah Shui who is next to the eldest son, are a little afraid of him.

Mr. Xiao seemed to be more gentle only when facing Mrs. Lu.

It has been five days since I returned to Qiong County.

Mother Lu made a special trip out to buy vegetables, as well as freshly killed chickens, to nourish the two of them.

"Look at you husband and wife, you both lost weight after going out for a trip."

"That's right, my cousin hasn't written a single letter for so long, which made my aunt worry for a long time." Tao Jinshuang stood beside Lu's mother and echoed softly.

Lu Xiyue patted her forehead and said with a smile: "I forgot when I got busy, Mother loves me so much, she definitely won't blame me, right?"

There was a bit of coquettishness in the girl's tone, and she rested her head on Lu's mother's shoulder, looking flattering.

"Of course not." Mother Lu couldn't bear it.

After some joking, Lu Xiyue discovered that Tao Jinshuang hadn't said a word to Xiao Yunheng since they came back.

Probably because he was intimidated by his aura that day.

After lunch and clearing the table, Tao Jinshuang was busy, drank a sip of tea and rushed to the dim sum shop.

Lu Xiyue felt strange, and asked Lu's mother, Tao Jinshuang, how she was doing at the dim sum shop during this time.

Mother Lu hesitated to speak, and said after a while, "Jin Shuang has never done this before, so she is a bit slow to learn, but I heard from the shopkeeper that her performance is quite good."

"That's it."

Seeing the guilty smile on Lu's mother's lips, Lu Xiyue didn't ask the question to the end.

After separating from Mother Lu, the two went to a dim sum shop.

There were a lot of customers in the shop, and the shopkeeper was also busy. She looked around, but she didn't see Tao Jinshuang.

When the shopkeeper saw her and Xiao Yunheng, he stepped forward to say hello: "Why are you two here when you are free?"

"Look around casually, why don't you see Tao Jinshuang?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, with a strange expression on his face: "Miss Tao said she was not feeling well, and she hasn't been here for two or three days. Doesn't Mrs. Lu know?"

Lu Xiyue pursed her lips, then shook her head.

She knew that there must be something weird behind Tao Jinshuang's sudden honesty.

The shopkeeper didn't say much when he saw the situation.

After leaving the dim sum shop, Lu Xiyue stared at her with a gloomy expression: "What do you think Tao Jinshuang wants?"

Xiao Yunheng was silent for a while, and then suggested: "I'll help you find someone to watch her."

Lu Xiyue didn't reply, she stared at a certain place, narrowed her eyes and motioned him to look: "Is that Tao Jinshuang?"

Following her gaze, Xiao Yunheng looked over.

The girl in the goose-yellow jacket stood in front of the snack vendor, and standing side by side with her was a handsome boy of seventeen or eighteen.

The boy's eyebrows looked familiar.

As if sensing a blazing light behind her, Tao Jinshuang turned her head unconsciously.

Lu Xiyue immediately took Xiao Yunheng's hand and backed away, hiding behind the door panel.

In the broad palm, the girl's palm was soft, and five fingers like white jade held his fingertips, and there was a warm touch.

The young man's body was stiff, and his dark eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Xiyue didn't notice it at all. After waiting for a while, thinking that Tao Jinshuang should leave, she held the door panel with her hand and poked her head out to have a look.

People really left.

The temperature in the palm of his hand was drawn away, and the girl beside him also walked out.

He spread out his palm, as if the warmth of the girl's palm remained on it.

The coolness of the autumn wind poured in from under the slanted eaves, suppressing the growing emotions in his heart, but it had little effect.

"Let's go." Lu Xiyue, who was standing outside the threshold, turned around and shouted.

Only then did he gather his palms together, sink his chaotic thoughts to the lowest point, and followed with his legs.

Lu Xiyue came to the vendor selling snacks, took out a few pieces of silver and handed them over.

The peddler looked at the silver and saw that the other party was a girl who was as beautiful as a fairy, and his eyes lit up: "What do you want to buy, my girl? The candied water chestnut here is really sweet."

"Weigh some." Lu Xiyue picked up a piece of water chestnut and tasted it, it was sweet and delicious, and the taste was good.

"okay."

After the peddler shoveled a bag and began to weigh it, she asked: "I saw a girl came to buy this water chestnut just now, and there was a young man standing beside her. I don't know what their relationship is."

As soon as the peddler heard this, he knew something was wrong.

But thinking about how she gave a lot of money just now, she couldn't get along with the money, so she didn't hide it: "It seems to be a fiancé couple, they behave very close, and that young master is the second young master of the Qian family."

People always have deep memories of people with characteristics.

As contemptuous as the pair of boys and girls just now, they both looked handsome, and as contemptuous as the pair in front of them, they looked even more handsome.

Like it was cut out of a painting.

The peddler was secretly surprised and at the same time a little annoyed, why didn't he have such a good skin.

"Second son of the Qian family." The image of a beautiful woman appeared in Lu Xiyue's mind, "Is he the younger brother of the young lady of the Cheng family?"

Mrs. Cheng's surname is Qian.

Lu Xiyue finally knew the reason why she felt familiar with that young man's appearance even though she had never met him before.

The peddler nodded: "That's right, he is Mrs. Cheng's younger brother, Mr. Qian who runs a rice shop."

The candied water chestnut in her mouth was so sweet that Lu Xiyue didn't have the mood to taste it at the moment.

Xiao Yunheng took the water chestnut from her hand, and the girl said solemnly: "I just said how Tao Jinshuang is honest, and that's the reason."

"What do you think is wrong?" Xiao Yunheng wanted to reach out and smooth her frowning brows.

Raising his hand, he held the water chestnut and pulled it away, bringing it to her mouth.

"Try it."

Lu Xiyue leaned back slightly, opened her mouth and bit the corner of the water chestnut.

Only then did Xiao Yunheng dial another one and put it in his mouth.

The pink and tender water chestnut has the sweetness of icing sugar, and it shatters with a slight bite. He is not a person who likes sweets, but at this moment he thinks the candied water chestnut is particularly delicious.

"There's nothing wrong with it. If Tao Jinshuang falls in love with Young Master Qian, I have nothing to say."

She didn't want to maliciously guess people's hearts, but what Tao Jinshuang brought to her and the original owner never had any kindness.

Xiao Yunheng pushed aside another water chestnut, and asked puzzledly: "What is falling in love?"

This was not the first time he heard new and unfamiliar words from Lu Xiyue.

There was icing on the water chestnut that was handed to her mouth, but Lu Xiyue still did not refuse.

"Dating is about cultivating feelings between lovers." She explained casually, "I just don't know what kind of person this Mr. Qian is?"

Mrs. Cheng Shao is an excellent person, and her younger brother should not be bad.

Lu Xiyue doesn't really want to take care of this matter, think about it, if one party is not good, she will trouble both sides.

But what she didn't expect was that the next day, near the river embankment, she would meet Tao Jinshuang and another handsome boy.

The two were talking and laughing. Although there was nothing out of the ordinary, the intimacy was not what ordinary friends should have.
