Chapter 782 Su Wuming 81
Chu Huan's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in Su Wuming's ears. He shook his head helplessly. This girl was becoming more and more lawless.
He simply stopped hiding and let Chu Huan come closer, her bright eyes staring at his face cunningly.
"Look, look, take a look at it as you like." Su Wuming spread out his hands pretending to be generous, as if he was ready to pick what he wanted.
Chu Hua carefully examined Su Wuming's face, and gently stroked his brow with her slender fingers, the touch was warm and delicate. "Well, I didn't find any poisonous insects, but... it seems... there are some wrinkles?"
She deliberately prolonged the last syllable, with a hint of teasing in her tone.
Su Wuming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl really kept bringing up things that were not relevant to the topic.
"Ahem, handling cases is hard, so it's inevitable that some traces will be left behind."
"Sima Su, you are really getting old and ugly!" Chu Huan laughed so hard that her body shook, with a mischievous smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Su Wuming shook his head helplessly. This girl was becoming more and more outrageous.
He was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard Chu Hua say again: "But, no matter what Su Sima becomes, I like him!"
Su Wuming was stunned, and his heart seemed to be gently hit by something, warm and itchy. He looked at Chu Hua, and his bright eyes were full of sincerity, without a trace of joking.
The corners of his mouth lifted up unconsciously, and the joy in his heart gushed out like a spring. "Girl, you only know how to make me happy."
"I'm speaking the truth!" Chu Huan restrained her smile and spoke in a serious tone.
"Sima Su, you are responsible and thoughtful in handling cases, gentle and considerate. Who wouldn't like you?"
Su Wuming shook his head, took Chu Huan's hand, and gently stroked her fingertips, feeling the softness and warmth. His eyes were as gentle as a spring water, as if he wanted to melt Chu Huan's whole body. "Huan'er, I understand everything you said."
His voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible tremor, "It's just that I never thought that I would have such a... moving feeling."
Chu Hua looked at him, and the smile on her lips deepened. "Sima Su, this is called 'love comes from nowhere, but it grows deeper and deeper.'" She winked playfully and deliberately spoke in the tone of an old scholar.
Su Wuming was amused by her, and the fine lines around his eyes smoothed out, making him look a little younger. "Huan'er, you are always so quirky."
"Does Sima Su like it?" Chu Hua tilted her head and stared at him with her big watery eyes.
Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. He nodded gently, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know how to express it.
After a long while, he whispered, "I like it, I like it very much."
Chu Hua's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, her eyes moved, and she looked bright and beautiful. "That's good." She blinked mischievously and stretched out her finger to gently touch Su Wuming's chest.
"Su Sima, you must remember what you said."
Su Wuming grabbed her hand and said, "Of course, my word is my bond."
"Then..." Chu Hua dragged out the last syllable of the sentence, her eyes rolling around as if she was thinking of something evil.
"Su Wuming, I'm hungry." Chu Hua's voice was delicate, like a coquettish kitten.
Su Wuming's heart was about to melt. He held Chu Hua's hand tightly and said, "Okay, okay, let's go eat now."
Su Wuming held Chu Hua's hand, and the warmth in his palm made him feel a little dazed. It felt like holding a naughty bird that could fly away at any time, but was held obediently in his hand.
The two walked side by side on the streets of Nanzhou, the afterglow of the setting sun stretching their shadows out. Chu Hua jumped up and down like a happy little deer, looking up at Su Wuming from time to time, her eyes full of sly smiles.
"Sima Su, what do you want to eat?" Chu Hua's voice was clear and pleasant, tinkling like wind chimes.
Su Wuming's heart trembled when she called him "Su Sima". He coughed lightly to cover up his awkwardness. "Huan'er, eat whatever you want. I will do whatever you want."
"Then let's go eat Hu Bing!" Chu Hua's eyes were sparkling like stars in the night sky.
Su Wuming naturally agreed. The two came to a Hu Bing shop, ordered two Hu Bings, and ordered a pot of tea. Chu Hua ate with gusto, and the corners of her mouth were covered with sesame seeds, like a little cat stealing food. Su Wuming was fascinated by her, and his eyes were so gentle that they almost dripped with tears.
"Sima Su, you should eat too. Why are you looking at me?" Chu Hua noticed Su Wuming's gaze and wiped the corner of her mouth embarrassedly.
"Look at you." Su Wuming blurted out, and as soon as he said it, he was stunned.
Chu Hua's cheeks instantly flushed red. She lowered her head and whispered, "You just make fun of me."
Su Wuming looked at her shy appearance, and felt even happier. He stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly, "Huan'er, I am speaking from the heart."
"Hmph~" Chu Huan said coquettishly, her eyes moving with a hint of pride. She picked up a piece of Hu pancake and handed it to Su Wuming's mouth.
"Here, it's your reward."
Su Wuming looked at the Hu pancake that was brought to his mouth, and then looked at Chu Hua's sly smile, and a warm current surged in his heart. He took a bite gently, and the aroma of sesame mixed with the sweetness of the pancake spread in his mouth, as if even the air had become sweet.
"Is it delicious?" Chu Hua asked expectantly.
"It's delicious. The food fed by Huan'er is naturally the most delicious." Su Wuming said with a smile, his eyes so gentle that they almost drowned Chu Huan.
Chu Hua felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, she lowered her head and pretended to concentrate on the Hu pancake in her hand. Su Wuming looked at her shy appearance and felt even happier.
He picked up another Hu pancake and handed it to Chu Hua: "Here, you eat too."
Chu Hua looked up at him, hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth and took a light bite. Su Wuming looked at her pink lips, and an inexplicable impulse surged in his heart. He reached out his hand and gently wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.
Chu Huan was stunned. She stared at Su Wuming blankly, her heart beating like a drum. Su Wuming also realized that his actions were a bit abrupt. He awkwardly withdrew his hand and coughed lightly, "Huan'er, there are some sesame seeds on the corner of your mouth."
Chu Hua's cheeks instantly became hot. She lowered her head and whispered, "I...I know."
When the two returned to Sima Mansion, it was already dusk. Lanterns were lit in the mansion, and the warm yellow light reflected on the bluestone road, making it seem particularly quiet. Su Wuming held Chu Hua's hand, and the two of them interlocked their fingers. They walked in silence, but the warmth between them flowed silently.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Pei Xijun came to meet him. She was holding a letter in her hand, with a hint of excitement on her face. "Brother, there's a letter for you!"
Su Wuming and Chu Hua loosened their hands at the same time. The remaining warmth on their fingertips had not yet dissipated, but was caught by the sharp-eyed Pei Xijun.
She blinked her eyes, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she pretended not to know and handed the letter to Su Wuming, "Brother, your letter."
Su Wuming took the letter, his palms slightly sweaty. He cleared his throat uncomfortably to hide his embarrassment, "Xijun, it's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"
"I can't sleep."
Chu Hua: "Xijun, who sent this letter?"
Xijun replied with a smile: "Brother, you will never guess it."
She paused, then added, "It's Zhong Boqi."
Su Wuming opened the envelope and took out the letter. In the dim light, lines of beautiful handwriting came into view.
Zhong Boqi mentioned in the letter that it would be the eighth day of the first lunar month in a few days. On this day fifteen years ago, the four masters of Nanzhou gathered at Shiqiao Mountain, and Zhang Xuan painted the famous work "Stone Bridge Picture".
Now things have changed, and only he and Leng Ji are left of the four sons of Nanzhou. He can't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time and the tricks of fate. He proposed to revisit Shiqiao Mountain on the eighth day of the first lunar month to remember his lost companions and the youthful years.
After reading the letter, Su Wuming felt mixed emotions and was overwhelmed with thoughts. He handed the letter to Chu Huan and said softly, "Huan'er, take a look."
Chu Huan took the letter and felt that it was filled with heavenly books, like ants arranging their troops in battle formation, which made her dizzy. She looked at Pei Xijun for help and stuck out her tongue awkwardly: "Xijun, what kind of spell is this? Could it be that Zhong Boqi is challenging Su Wuming?"
Pei Xijun chuckled, took the letter and explained softly, "Sister Huan'er, this is not a spell, it's a letter. Zhong Boqi asked you to visit Shiqiao Mountain again on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
Chu Hua suddenly realized what was going on. She touched her nose awkwardly. This combination of traditional Chinese characters and cursive script was simply hellishly difficult for a modern person like her.
She secretly felt lucky that Xijun was there, otherwise she would be embarrassed in front of Su Wuming.
Su Wuming looked at Chu Huan's embarrassed look, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he asked gently: "Didn't Huan'er say that she wanted to study with Su? How come you gave up after just a few days?"
Chu Hua's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple. She hesitantly explained, "I... I haven't let it go. It's just that this... this word... it knows me, but I don't know it... No, I may know it, but it may be too young..."
Su Wuming couldn't help laughing. He reached out and rubbed Chu Huan's hair, saying in a doting tone, "Huan'er, don't worry. Just learn slowly. Su will teach you."
"Really?" Chu Hua's eyes lit up instantly, like twinkling stars in the night sky.
Su Wuming smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true. Starting tomorrow, I will spare half an hour every day to teach you how to read, okay?"
"Okay!" Chu Hua agreed excitedly, and she grabbed Su Wuming's hand.
Pei Xijun, who was standing aside, watched the intimate interaction between the two and smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that the relationship between the two was progressing rapidly!
She deliberately cleared her throat and said, "Brother, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."
