Chapter 710 Su Wuming 9
Chapter 710 Su Wuming 9
Such a murder happened in broad daylight, which was a blow to her. After all, in modern times, let alone killing someone, she had never seen a dead person in all her years.
On the way from the county office to Su Wuming's residence, Chu Huan kept holding the little notebook tightly, looking up at Su Wuming from time to time, and then quickly lowering her head, as if she was hiding something.
Su Wuming saw all of her little movements, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
When they arrived at the apartment, Su Wuming led Chu Huan to the guest room. The room was not big, but it was clean and tidy. There was a wooden bed, a desk, a few chairs, and a landscape painting hanging on the wall, which gave it an antique feel.
"Girl, you should go to bed early." Su Wuming said gently.
"Miss, you should go to bed early." Su Wuming said gently, with a barely perceptible concern in his tone.
He was afraid that what happened today would scare her. After all, a girl who had just arrived would inevitably feel frightened when she saw such a tragic scene.
Chu Hua nodded and said "hmm" softly, but she still held the little notebook tightly, as if it was her amulet. Su Wuming looked at her nervous appearance and couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
"Are you scared, girl?" he asked softly, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone.
Chu Hua raised her head and met Su Wuming's concerned gaze, her cheeks slightly flushed. She wanted to pretend to be brave and say that she was not afraid, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
After all, as a modern person, how could she have ever seen such a scene?
"Actually... there is a little bit." Chu Hua said in a low voice, her voice as thin as a mosquito.
Seeing this, Su Wuming became more certain of his guess.
Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua's slightly flushed cheeks and his heart moved.
He wanted to say something to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start, so he could only cough and said, "Miss, don't be afraid. Although there are strange cases in Chang'an City, there will definitely be no demons or ghosts causing trouble in broad daylight."
Upon hearing this, Chu Huan looked up at him, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.
Su Wuming's serious look of comforting others was really adorable. She suppressed her smile and nodded, "Mr. Su is right. I was overthinking."
Seeing that she seemed to have calmed down, Su Wuming turned around and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he reminded her, "Miss, go to bed early. Tomorrow I will take you to see the prosperous scene of Chang'an City."
Chu Hua responded, and after watching Su Wuming leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the quiet night outside, but her heart was in turmoil.
It was late at night and everything was quiet, with only the occasional sound of the night watchman's clappers.
Su Wuming was sleeping soundly, and his dreams were all about Chu Hua.
In his dream, Chu Hua smiled sweetly, and her every smile touched his heart. Her strange fragrance could not be shaken off in his dream, lingering around his nose and intoxicating him. He dreamed that he clumsily made a sachet for Chu Hua, and every stitch was filled with his heart and soul; he dreamed that he took Chu Hua on a boat on the lake, enjoying the night view of Chang'an City, and the two of them leaned against each other and whispered...
On the other side, Chu Hua had no desire to sleep. She sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a booklet she brought from the modern era - "A Beginner's Guide to Time Travel - Spells".
The sky outside the window gradually turned white. Chu Hua rubbed her sore eyes and put down the booklet in her hand. The dense and tiny words on it made her dizzy, but in order to complete the system task and return to the modern world as soon as possible, she had to work hard to learn these spells that seemed like a heavenly book to her.
Chu Huan fell asleep in a daze, holding the book "A Beginner's Guide to Time Travel - Spells" tightly in her hand. She had a bizarre dream, in which she flew around on a broom, muttering to herself, but could not fly, and was sweating profusely from anxiety.
Suddenly, the broom broke and she fell from mid-air. She screamed in fright and woke up suddenly.
When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. Chu Hua rubbed her sleepy eyes and then she remembered that she was in the Tang Dynasty, not in a comfortable apartment in the 21st century.
She shook her head, trying to dispel the remaining dreams and fragments of modern life.
Looking down, she saw that the book "Time Traveler's Beginner's Guide - Spells" was still tightly held in her arms, and the pages had been crumpled up.
"It seems that time travel is not so fun after all." Chu Hua said to herself and sighed. She got up and walked to the window and stretched. The morning sun shone through the window and shone on her body, warm and cozy.
knock knock --
A knock on the door brought Chu Hua back to reality from her trance. She rubbed her eyes and opened the door sleepily. Su Wuming was standing outside the door, holding two paper bags in his hands, exuding an alluring fragrance.
"Girl, did you sleep well?" Su Wuming asked gently, with a barely perceptible hint of nervousness on his face.
Chu Hua then remembered that Su Wuming said he would take her for breakfast yesterday.
"Ah, that's okay." She quickly made way: "Mr. Su, please come in."
Su Wuming walked into the room and put the paper bag in his hand on the table.
"This is the most famous Hu Bing and mutton soup in Chang'an City. Eat it while it's hot."
Chu Hua looked at the steaming breakfast and her stomach growled. She smiled awkwardly and took a bite of a Hu pancake. She praised the crispy crust and delicious meat filling.
"Really delicious!"
Su Wuming watched her eat with relish, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"As long as the girl likes it."
The two of them ate breakfast quietly, the room was filled with the aroma of food and a subtle ambiguity. Chu Hua secretly looked at Su Wuming and found that he was wearing a light blue robe today, which made him look more gentle and elegant, making her blush and her heart beat faster.
"Mr. Su." Chu Hua suddenly said, "You...you said yesterday that you would take me to see the prosperous scene of Chang'an City. Does it still count?"
Su Wuming was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and nodded quickly, "Of course it counts. After breakfast, I will take the girl out for a walk."
Chu Huan was secretly happy, but nodded with a reserved look.
"Thank you, Mr. Su."
Before the aroma of Hu Bing faded away, Su Wuming had already taken Chu Hua to walk on the streets of Chang'an City. Chu Hua thought he would take her to visit scenic spots and enjoy the bustling market, but unexpectedly, Su Wuming walked straight to a remote alley in the west of the city.
"Mr. Su, where are we going?" Chu Hua asked curiously, holding the candy figure that Su Wuming bought for her. It was in the shape of a small rabbit and was very cute.
"Go to the home of last night's bride." Su Wuming spoke briefly and without stopping.
Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, and the sugar figurine almost slipped from her hands. "The bride? But...she's already..."
