Chapter 24: Lost Heart

The shopkeeper was amazed and swallowed his saliva, he really wanted to eat a piece of meat dipped in sauce, but he didn't dare to do it, let alone make such a request.

But the chef here is different, hearing that some guests asked for this strange dipping sauce, the chef who has been in charge of the Yunlai Inn for ten years has long been unable to resist his curiosity and followed the shopkeeper to the lobby. Witness how Chi Xiaoman threw all those condiments into the soy sauce.

Originally, he was the same as Wei Chimu and Shang Ziqi thought in their hearts—can this thing be eaten with it? Don't spoil the taste of the food he cooked!

But as soon as he saw Shang Ziqi and Wei Chimu's reaction after eating, he was itchy and couldn't help jumping out and said, "This girl, can you let me taste it?"

"You ask this uncle who paid the money. Chi Xiaoman smiled playfully and pointed at Yu Chimu.

In the lobby, there were many tables of guests who gathered around with great interest, and a few men even looked at Chi Xiaoman with bright eyes, which made Wei Chimu a little unhappy, and secretly endured his anger, as long as those men dared to approach Xiaoman, he definitely wanted them to lie down and go out!

"It's ............ This son, can you let it ...... In the ......, the chef saw that Wei Chimu's face was not good, and he thought that he didn't want him to eat it, but as a cook, he couldn't miss any way to make the food more delicious, so he still stubbornly stammered and had to finish his words.

"If you want to eat, you eat. Yu Chimu dropped this sentence, got up and pulled Chi Xiaoman away, leaving everyone with a stunned face.

Chi Xiaoman, who was pulled out by Yu Chi Mu, didn't see the chef sandwiching a piece of beef, dipping it in her special sauce and putting it in his mouth, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he picked up the sauce with trembling hands, as if he was holding some treasure, and carefully carried it back to the kitchen.

Although Shang Ziqi was also a little shocked by the prince's actions, he roughly guessed what was going on. Just now, many people approached all of a sudden, and he naturally paid attention to the movements around him, so as not to suddenly have the prince's enemies blending into the crowd.

So he saw that several men's eyes couldn't stop at Chi Xiaoman, revealing appreciation and amazement, which made the prince angry.

He wanted to laugh a little unkindly, Lord Wang, Lord Wang, this time he really met a nemesis, even if he used to be jealous of Cheng Yin, it didn't seem to be so strong, right?

He won't chase him out, this kind of emotional matter has to be solved by the two of them alone, so he doesn't go to find trouble, or stay in the inn to eat and drink enough.

"Yu Chimu, what are you crazy about!" was suddenly pulled out of the inn, Chi Xiaoman only felt inexplicable, and wanted to shake off his hand, but he held it too tightly and dragged her away, making it difficult for her to resist, and his wrist was pulled by him.

The struggle was fruitless, and she simply stopped struggling.

Tongcheng at night is still lively because of the lantern festival, the street is full of people, the street vendors are a little more than the day, the whole street is full of lanterns, bright as day, reminds her of Ouyang Xiu's "Shengchazi Yuan Xi" in the Northern Song Dynasty: "Last year, on the first night of the year, the flower market was lit like day; On the New Year's Eve of this year, the moon and the lights are still the same; ”

The current scene really responds to the words "lights are like day", but is it possible for her to come here with him again next year?

Next year is too far away, and maybe next year they will both have someone else by their side......

Thinking of this, Chi Xiaoman suddenly felt a little sentimental in his heart. He is a good person, although sometimes her mouth is so cheap that she is very angry, but in front of him she can easily be herself, with his status, in fact, she is already very indulgent.

What if you marry him as his princess? It doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Yu Chimu dragged her all the way along, shuttling through the crowd without saying a word.

Pulling her out was actually just an impulse, but I didn't want the men in the inn to focus their squinting eyes on her again.

He found that he was becoming more and more possessive, and he didn't want other men to see her face, and he didn't want other men to see how good she was.

If he could, he would have hid her and left her alone.

"Take it, put it on. He stopped in front of a mask stall, threw a silver ingot to the vendor, took a mask, and turned around and stuffed it into Chi Xiaoman's hand.

"I don't want it, what's wrong with you!" Chi Xiaoman threw the mask back on the stall and looked at him with displeasure. She really doesn't understand what's wrong with him, women have physiological problems, can he too?

I wanted to say that she attracted bees and butterflies, but seeing that she didn't know what she was angry about, Wei Chimu suddenly felt that she was bored, such a domineering style would not work for her, it would only push her away from her side.

"It's okay, I'll take you out for a walk. Pick the one you like, I'll pay for it. He said in a softened tone.

Chi Xiaoman looked at him suspiciously, but his face had changed to a warm smile, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Forget it, she also wants to visit the ancient "night market" anyway, and since he paid for it, let's pick one!

She looked at all the masks hanging on the stall, but she still took the one that Yu Chimu had stuffed into her hand just now. I have to say that his aesthetic vision is still good, and the mask of the whole stall looks the best.

"Let's do it. She raised the golden openwork mask in her hand to Yu Chi Mu.

"Girl, pick a few more, this boy can buy ten of the silver he paid. The peddler saw that she had only taken one, and he was not deceived in his business, even though the two people in front of him seemed to be quite expensive, he could not be greedy for this money.

Chi Xiaoman shook her head, she wanted so many masks to dry hemp, and she didn't sell masks.

Yu Chimu took the mask from her hand, she looked at him in amazement, and he just put it on for her with a gentle movement, then took her hand and said, "There are many people, hold you, so as not to get separated." ”

He, he, he......

She was so frightened by his actions that she could only stare at him stupidly, her heart was beating so fast, and his gentle and affectionate eyes were like a deep pool, the more she looked at it, the more she sank it, as if she wanted to suck her heart into it.

She...... Shouldn't that be the case for throwing away your heart......

Chi Xiaoman's cheeks were hot, but fortunately she had already put on a mask, and no one saw her embarrassment, including Yu Chimu, of course.

He walked in front of her, holding her tightly, and the hands that held her were hot as if they were about to melt her.

Her mind was blank and her heart was in disarray, allowing him to take her hand and weave through the crowd.
