God's Gift

"Yu Youyou." Lu Keming paused for a few seconds and finally called out Yu Youyou's name.

"Hmm?" Yu Youyou turned her head immediately after hearing the voice and saw Lu Keming standing behind her. She smiled, put down the fishing rod in her hand, and ran towards Lu Keming, shouting as she ran:

"Lu Keming, you're here!"

Lu Keming stood where he was, watching Yu Youyou run towards him, and her hand, which was still covered in mucus from having just touched the fish, reached out to grab his clothes.

Lu Keming looked at his spotless white clothes, silently took a step back, then stared at Yu Youyou's hand, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou naturally took the handkerchief, and then happily shared with Lu Keming: "I caught a lot of fish today. The fish on land look different from the fish in the sea, and they smell different..."

Lu Keming listened to Yu Youyou quietly for a while, and then asked: "I came here to ask you today, have we met before?"

Yu Youyou raised her head and answered as a matter of course: "Of course."

After saying that, she looked Lu Keming up and down again and added, "It's just that you don't remember it now."

"But it doesn't matter. Even though you don't remember it, I still remember it."

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou in silence. After a long while, he chuckled and said, "I don't have any missing memories."

He seemed to have thought of something, paused for a second, his eyes darkened, and asked in a cold voice: "I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person."

Hearing this, Yu Youyou quieted down. After staring at Lu Keming for a long time, she said firmly:

"I won't mistake you."

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's gaze, and didn't respond for a long time. When he opened his mouth to speak, a male voice came from behind him.

"Luo Chen, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Keming's eyes turned cold in an instant. He turned around and looked back, and saw a man wearing green clothes and with beautiful eyebrows and eyes.

The man walked towards Lu Keming and Yu Youyou in small steps. Because he grew up in Huachunfang, there was a bit of weakness and deliberate flattery in his posture. He seemed to be talking to Lu Keming, but his eyes were always on Yu Youyou.

"Luo Chen, you didn't even tell me when you came out, so I had been looking for you for a long time." He looked at the pack of dogs around Yu Youyou, then at the precious silk on Yu Youyou's body and the gold and silver pearls in her hair, and his breathing became a little rapid.

Lu Keming looked at him as he looked at Yu Youyou, the light in his eyes became colder, and he responded, "Qingyi."

Qingyi did not wait for Lu Keming's answer. He just asked a question lightly and turned his gaze to Yu Youyou who was beside Lu Keming.

"I don't know who this lady is. My name is Qingyi. I'm an actress at Huachunfang. Luo Chen and I are good friends who grew up together."

As soon as he said this, Lu Keming immediately clenched his hands and subconsciously looked at Yu Youyou, but Yu Youyou did not look at him. She only looked at Qingyi in front of her and replied, "I am Yu Lanshu."

When Qingyi heard the name, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but pretended to have just heard it, bowed to Youyou, and said in fear:

"It turned out to be Miss Yu. I was unaware and bumped into her."

"As a servant with such a lowly fate, it is rare for me to have the opportunity to meet someone as valuable as the young lady. But the young lady is so approachable, so I lost my manners for a moment."

When he spoke, his eyebrows were lowered and his voice was obedient and soft, but his frightened eyes like a deer were always looking at Yu Youyou, like a hook, if anyone else saw it, they would definitely be hooked and distracted.

But Yu Youyou seemed not to notice his reluctant look, and asked in confusion and surprise: "But last time I heard that people who go to Huachunfang are very rich. Don't you usually see them?"

Hearing this, Qingyi's body froze for a second, and she lowered her eyes again, and responded flatteringly: "How can those vulgar merchants compare with Miss."

"Oh..." Yu Youyou looked at Qingyi, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "In fact, the Yu family is also a merchant family."

Qingyi only knew that Yu Youyou was the cousin of the general's mansion, but she didn't know her own background.

Upon hearing this, Qingyi felt a little timid, and immediately knelt down and apologized: "I didn't know, please punish me, young lady."

But even when he was apologizing, his tears flowed from the end of his eyes, and he was deliberately weak and innocent.

Lu Keming was tired of watching this drama, so he took Yu Youyou's hand and took her a step back. He looked down at Qingyi who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes and said:

"Since you are asking for punishment, then kneel here."

Qingyi's expression froze, and she immediately looked up at Lu Keming and asked, "Luo Chen?!"

However, Lu Keming glanced at Qingyi indifferently and directly pulled Yu Youyou past Qingyi.

Yu Youyou was pulled by Lu Keming, a smile appeared on her face, and she happily followed Lu Keming and asked cheerfully: "Are you leaving? Where are you going?"

As soon as they left, Yu Youyou's little brothers surrounded Qingyi and stared at her, scaring her so much that she stepped back.

"Whatever you want." Lu Keming responded and pulled Yu Youyou into the busy street. After a long silence, he said, "I am from Huachunfang, and Luo Chen is using the name of Huachunfang."

"Oh, then you should call me Lu Keming when you're outside." Yu Youyou responded with a smile, staring straight at the candied haws vendor passing by, swallowed, licked the corner of her mouth, and said, "Eat candied haws."

Lu Keming sighed, stopped, called the vendor, bought a string of candied haws and handed it to Yu Youyou, then continued:

"That Huachunfang is a brothel."

"I know." Yu Youyou nodded, shook her head, and explained to Lu Keming: "Huachunfang is a brothel, and a brothel is a place where people are sold."

"Just as humans catch fish from the sea and sell them, humans also catch humans and sell them."

Lu Keming listened to Yu Youyou's explanation, and after a few seconds of silence, he laughed again and said:

"You don't seem to understand. Humans are indeed being bought and sold there, but those who are bought and sold are also despised by the world."

Yu Youyou stopped, took a bite of the candied haws, thought for a while, nodded, and replied: "It is naturally like this, just like the fish in the sea, if they are small and not poisonous, they will be easily eaten by big fish."

"So we have to work hard to evolve weapons to defend ourselves, so that big fish won't dare to eat us."

Lu Keming lowered his eyes after listening to Yu Youyou's irrelevant words.

Never mind. He is not a human being. The high or low status of human beings has nothing to do with him.

"Dead! Dead!"

As Lu Keming and Yu Youyou just walked to the corner, they heard noise coming from the crowd in front.
