Wishful Things

"Things are basically done. When Ms. Xu first arrived in Ningyang, I should have done my best as a landlord. There is a restaurant in front, and the food there should be very suitable for Ms. Xu's appetite."

While Wu Chao was speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed ahead, "It's not far, it's only a quarter of an hour to walk there."

Hearing what he said, Xu Mingyi nodded.

This place is a lively place, with people coming and going, it is inevitable that it will be a little crowded, and the two walked slowly side by side in the bustling crowd.

At this time, a group of children rushed out from nowhere, the leader held a colorful bamboo ball in his hand, causing a group of children behind to chase and play.

The crowd hurriedly evaded, and there was a brief moment of confusion in the crowd. Xu Mingyi was bumped by one of the children and squeezed by someone, and while she was unstable, a slender and powerful hand suddenly supported her shoulder.

"Be careful—"

When she stood still, Wu Chao immediately withdrew his hand, put it behind his back and lightly clasped his fingers.

Xu Mingyi said "thank you" to him.

"Ningyang is a little different from Beijing, and the control is relatively loose. In addition, it's approaching the end of the year, so it's inevitable that it's noisy, but don't you feel used to it?" Wu Chao asked.

"Yes."

Xu Mingyi looked at the lively scene all around, and the colorful lights shone into her pupils, making her eyes look extraordinarily dark and bright, with a bright smile in her tone: "But I like this kind of excitement very much."

Having seen the desolation and misery of troubled times, I feel that such prosperity and excitement are extremely valuable.

Ningyang City in the previous life, after the Wu family's accident, became an existence that was vented by the court.

As a result, the fate of countless people was changed, and the people's original stable and happy life was completely subverted overnight.

Wu Chao glanced at her, then followed her gaze and looked forward.

He is just the opposite, he has always disliked crowds.

But at this time... he also liked it.

"This is a theater building, and inside it is the famous Chunxi Troupe in Ningyang City. If you like to listen to opera, you can come and sit here."

"This should be the Jewelry Building...I have seen my mother come here before, and the contents of it should be worth a look."

Along the way, the boy carefully and patiently introduced the surrounding shops.

Sui Jiang followed behind, casting puzzled glances frequently.

Along the way, I heard the words of the grandson who cherishes words like gold on weekdays... I don’t know that the grandson of his family is an intellectual interpreter hired by this girl disguised as a man to introduce the local customs and characteristics!

But his master is still preaching: "If you want to know anything, want to play and eat, just tell me—"

In fact, Wu Chao didn't quite know how to entertain a girl's family, so he could only talk more.

Xu Mingyi replied "Yes", and couldn't help but turn to look at him.

The street lights were flickering, reflecting the young man's silhouette more clearly and profoundly. His facial features were more handsome, and his temperament tended to be colder.

And no matter how lively it is, winter nights are still cold.

This was a relatively unfamiliar city to her——

But at this moment, with him by the side, listening to him say these words, she just felt warm, inexplicably at ease and secure.

Or maybe it's been a while since I saw him, and she just saw him for the first time, and she always felt that she was no more at ease than when she got along with him in the capital, and even a little restrained——

But now, all this was washed away by his seriousness and patience.

He doesn't seem to be doing this deliberately, so people can feel his pure sincerity even more.

She is really happy.

Although he had made clear his purpose before coming here, this trip was just to reassure himself, and he did not force him to welcome her very much——

But, who wouldn't like to be welcomed by people really?

She is just a superficial and ordinary person, and she will be very happy when she is taken seriously and sees the other party exuding joy and joy because of her presence.

Only then did she know that many emotions between people are so complementary and interlinked.

Sensing her gaze, Wu Chao pretended not to know anything, but his heart was still beating extremely fast, and he was only glad that if it wasn't for the noise of the crowd, it might not be enough to cover up the sound of the heartbeat.

He suddenly regretted it.

He should... pick a restaurant further away.

Just because even if the two walked slowly enough, the restaurant he mentioned would arrive soon.

The boy suddenly hesitated.

Heck, anyway, he didn't mention the name of the restaurant just now, and now it suddenly occurred to her that the other one seemed to be good, and she might not be able to notice it if she changed it temporarily, right?

But doing so seems a bit insincere——

The young man was hesitating, when he suddenly heard the attendant next to his ear say: "Young master, you will be there in front of Dengyuan Building!"——Although the young master did not specify the name of the restaurant, the restaurant serves the dishes of the capital, so it must be what the young master said. The one that suits Miss Xu's appetite is right.

"..." Wu Chao turned his head slowly, looking at Xiao Qi who had sounded the reminder.

Very well, there is no need to hesitate now.

The shopkeeper in the restaurant obviously recognized Wu Chao, upon seeing this, he immediately greeted him personally, and respectfully invited him to the private room on the second floor.

Hearing the voice of his grandson discussing with the girl in the private room to order food, Sui Jiang, who was guarding outside, couldn't hold back, and confirmed to Xiao Qi: "...Didn't the young master have dinner before?"

Now he even wondered if he remembered it wrong?

Xiao Qi looked at him.

Actually struggling with this obvious question, is Sui Jiang actually an elm head?

Experience told him that if a person's head is not open, it is useless to say more, so Xiaoqi said: "Young master is hungry again, and before the young master only ate vegetables, it is true that he didn't eat."

"..." After a moment of silence, Sui Jiang asked again: "What is this girl Xu?"

Xiaoqi's performance obviously recognized the other party.

"The girl from Zhen Guogong's mansion, the granddaughter of General Xu." Xiao Qi whispered: "Remember not to say anything."

Sui Jiang frowned.

This status is indeed unusual, but his son is a grandson of the Wu family, even if the princess of the dynasty is here, there is no need to entertain people in person like this, right? And even going to the brothel is frightening, what is the purpose of being so cautious?

Seeing his thoughts from his expression, Xiao Qi was secretly surprised—the co-author was not an elm head, but an iron head!

He just said in front of Ms. Xu that he pledged his life as a guarantee, and he still thought that the other party was an eyelid worker, and he was going to steal the job from him.

Before leaving Beijing, the fifth brother told him the secret that his grandson had a crush on Miss Xu, in order to let him perform well in front of his grandson—that's why he would remind his grandson repeatedly tonight.

Since Sui Jiang can't see it, then he can show it secretly. After all, he came to Ningyang not long ago, and he has to make some contributions to gain a firm foothold.

Xiao Qi is seriously planning.

In the private room, while waiting for the food to be served, Wu Chao asked Xu Mingyi, "I don't know what Miss Xu is going to do in Ningyang on this trip? Is there anything I can help with?"

Holding a teacup in his hand, Xu Mingyi smiled and looked at the young man who was as enthusiastic and righteous as ever.

Of course he can help—

What she has to do is to protect him well, and if he takes care of himself, it is equivalent to helping her and fulfilling her wish.

Thanks to book friends such as Qinghan, porridge, Xiuxian, Jing Ye, come on, bringner, one-seventh rainbow, etc. for their rewards.

Thank you for every monthly pass.

Good night.
