Chapter 149
Xiao Xu stared at Chu Junlan. Her eyes were bright, and the curve of the raised eyes brought a sense of playfulness and charm. When she smiled, the lying silkworms were very beautiful, and her bright smile could melt the coldest and hardest ice in the world.
Xiao Xu's cheeks were hot and his heart was hot. Although he was holding a delicate flower pot in his hand, his heart was empty.
If these eyes could keep looking at him and just smile at him, he would like to exchange for anything.
But no matter how much I thought in my heart, Xiao Xu still just held the corner of his lips.
Chu Junlan's thick feather eyelashes covered the panic in his eyes for a moment, and he smiled and said, "Thank you. It's true that a leaf has not fallen or a fruit."
Xiao Xu looked at her with a smile.
Jing Yu was anxious when he watched from the side, and said anxiously: "Our prince carefully protected him all the way and held him in his hands. He didn't dare to run faster, so naturally a leaf would not fall off."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded, and said to Xiao Xu again with a smile: "Thank you."
"No need." Xiao Xu said concisely.
Chu Junlan brought the blood jade berry to Chu Huating's hand and led his fingers to touch the tender leaves and exquisite and plump fruits.
"Brother, look, this is the Blood Jade Beetle. I didn't expect that when I went to the imperial village to see someone sick, the old patriarch Xiao would take this as a thank you gift. With him, the eldest brother's eyes should be cured soon."
Chu Huting's inner excitement was hard to hide, his pale lips turned bloody, and he nodded heavily: "Yes."
Seeing Chu Huating like this, Chu Junlan couldn't help but soften his voice: "So, brother, look, there is nothing that cannot be solved in this world? As long as he is still alive, some obstacles are gritting his teeth and walking over, there will be a new turning point."
Chu Huating nodded in a moved manner, "After this incident, I have completely understood. Lanlan..."
Chu Huating rolled his Adam's apple, and after a while, he said in a choked voice: "It's not good that it's the eldest brother. You are obviously the sister and I am the older brother, but when something happens, you will come to help me save me every time. I will work hard and I will protect you later."
Chu Junlan smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! My elder brother has been protecting me before, I have always known it. I have a elder brother as my backer. Who dares to bully me in the future?"
"No." Xiao Xu blurted out, regretting immediately, coughing, "I'm leaving."
Chu Huating held back his laughter and hurriedly stood up and said, "The prince stayed and spent the meal together before going back. Thank you for your hard work these days, let's have dinner together and can talk."
Xiao Xu's steps paused slightly.
Chu Junlan saw his shy and awkward appearance and found it very interesting. He knew that he had thin skin and was not good at teasing him anymore. He just smiled and said, "Stay here to have dinner together. You have been tired for so many days."
Xiao Xu looked back at her and nodded slightly.
Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jing Yu was so rude to Chu Junlan before. His regretful heart was almost green. They had already discussed it quietly on the way when they came. If Chu Junlan had alienated the prince because of his reasons, he would immediately kneel down to apologize.
Fortunately, nothing has changed.
Zi Yan went to the kitchen happily and told the chef to prepare a table of good dishes. After the family had eaten, Xiao Xu saw that it was already sunset, so he stood up and said goodbye.
Chu Junlan smiled and said, "I'll give you a gift."
Xiao Xu looked back at Chu Junlan, his eyes lightly bright, and he nodded silently.
The two left the courtyard side by side, walked in the secluded alley outside the Chu Mansion, and stopped at the same time.
Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing immediately said with a wink, "Criminal, let's go prepare the carriage and horse."
Watching the two of them walking away, Chu Junlan turned to Xiao Xu: "Thanks to you this time, I don't know how to thank you."
Xiao Xu shook his head, "It's not really helpful to you."
"You helped me a lot." Chu Junlan said with his eyebrows and eyes, "Since you didn't stop me from avenging my elder brother, I wanted to thank you, but I didn't have a chance. I know that if you wanted to stop me that day, I would never be able to break in."
"I won't stop you."
"I know, you will only help me with the aftermath." Chu Junlan smiled and patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder, "Thank you, you are a good partner."
"...You don't have to be polite." Xiao Xu's eyes darkened.
It turned out that in her heart, he was just a partner.
But this was too bad for her, because they had made an agreement since their first meeting, and all the conditions had been discussed clearly. Everything he had done was within the scope of the agreement.
Xiao Xu lowered his eyes with some loss: "You go back and have a good rest."
"Okay, then I'll go back, be careful on the way."
"good."
Chu Junlan smiled and waved his hand at him, then turned around and went home.
Xiao Xu looked at Chu Junlan's back and walked away, watching the black painted wooden door of the Chu family close, but did not move for a long time.
The setting sun stretched out his shadow, and the sunset was as red as to burn the distant mountains, dyeing his light-colored robe with gorgeous colors.
"Crown Prince..." Jing Yu carefully poked his head out at the entrance of the alley.
Xiao Xu took a deep breath, returned to his usual appearance, and carried one hand behind him and walked towards the carriage.
"Go home."
"Yes!" Seeing that Xiao Xu was not in a high mood, Jing Yu and Huo Yeqing did not dare to say too much, and hurriedly acted with instructions.
Chu Junlan changed the medicine for Chu Huating, took a shower and planned to rest in advance.
But she lay down for two hours, staring at the light green gauze tent, and she didn't fall asleep until the sky completely dimmed.
So many things have happened these days. She sometimes remembered the people in the dungeon on Xianren Mountain, sometimes guessed the intention of the old owner Xiao, and sometimes guessed who was living opposite Xianren Bridge, and whether it was Doctor Qi himself.
However, after thinking about it, one thing that can be confirmed is that she is probably identified as the successor of Doctor Qi in Cao Qin's place.
In order to save Chu Huating and for all, she could only trade the fragments of Qi's secret record. Even if she explained this, she might not change Cao Qin's idea.
Since it cannot be changed, let’s do this first. It’s just that soldiers come to block the water and soil.
Chu Jun sighed and closed his eyes, and suddenly remembered the sunset that Xiao Xu looked at her gentle eyebrows and eyes, and the look that he lost in an instant when she said "partner".
Her hands were placed on her forehead.
Could Xiao Xu be treating her...?
After turning over, Chu Junlan buried his head in the thin quilt.
The next morning, Chu Junlan started to treat Chu Huating.
"Brother's eyes won't get better immediately, but don't panic. I believe you will be able to recover your light soon."
Chu Huating nodded: "This is already very fast."
Chu Huating's eyes had hope, and Xiao Rulan's family had never dared to come up again. Chu Junlan was in a very happy mood.
At this time, Chu Cailiang was as happy as Chu Junlan.
"Hurry, please ask the whole family to come to the front yard. Today we will hold a banquet in the front yard to celebrate. This is a great joy!"
