Chapter 162: Follow
Yu Shu ran back for a while, turned his head and saw that the carriage on the street was gone, so he slowed down and walked back to the tavern.
A table of wine and food was almost eaten, Boss Zhou saw Yu Shu come back, asked her if she could eat well, so he called Xiao Er to settle the bill, and several people said goodbye in front of the tavern, Yu Shu didn't see the man standing across the street where pedestrians came and went.
After earning five taels this morning, Yu Shu weighed a pound of flower cakes and sugar cakes at the dim sum shop on the street.
Xue Rui followed Yu Shu not far away, watched Yu Shu enter the dim sum shop, and came out after a while, carrying a few bags in his hand, holding a piece in his hand, and walking while eating.
This kind of behavior that used to be a bad habit in his eyes, it seemed natural for her to do it, and I still remember that when they went to the Sanqing Club together and bought breakfast on the road, it was the first time he ate on the crowded street, and now in retrospect, that feeling of being around is not bad.
He didn't rush over to say hello, first, because he was afraid that she would turn around and run away when she saw him, and secondly, because he was curious to see what she did every day.
Yu Shu found a bookstore on the corner of the street, different from the Yiguan in Yiyang City to get a bookcard, here and ordinary bookstores can enter and exit freely, but there is no place for copying books, if you want to read a book, you must buy it, she turned to a few here a while ago, which is suitable for Yu Xiaoxiu's degree, at that time, I didn't buy it, and today I came to see if there was a sale.
Xue Rui followed Yu Shu into the Yi Pavilion, and when he saw her enter the study room in the back hall, he pretended to wander around the hall, and waited for a while, but he didn't see her come out, and after a little hesitation, he looked in.
The bookroom at the back of this Yi Hall is not large, and there are four or five rows of bookshelves. There were a few guests inside, Xue Rui walked a few steps along the side of the bookshelf, and saw Yu Shu who was squatting under a bookshelf rummaging, he didn't step forward, but retreated behind another row of bookshelves, picked it up casually, and occasionally turned his head to look at her through the shelf, waiting for her to choose.
Such scenes are not unfamiliar. Xue Rui lowered his head and smiled, what he did to pass the time at that time, who would have thought that after so long, he would still remember it clearly, and he should be blamed for his good memory. Or blame her for being too memorable.
Yu Shu searched for a while before she found the two that she had been optimistic about, happily patted the dust on her head, and took out the Lu to count the money, not noticing the person who had been standing with her for a long time on the other end of the bookshelf.
Leaving Qiu Kwai Fang, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and as long as Yu Shu turned around, she could see Xue Rui walking not far behind her. But she was busy at the moment, with a snack bag under her arm, flipping through a book, and a piece of cake in her mouth.
Xue Rui saw that there were few people around, and he was not afraid that she would run into the crowd and not see, so he would step forward to greet her. As soon as his hand was raised, he didn't make a sound, and he saw a brown dog suddenly rushing out of the alley in front of him, looked at Yu Shu, stopped on the side of the road, and barked wildly as soon as he blocked her in front of the road:
"Whew. Barking! ”
Yu Shu was startled by the dog's barking, took her eyes off the book, and saw the vicious dog that was drooling at her four or five steps in front of her, and the whole person froze there, and her face was about to cry.
If there's anything in the world that makes her hair stand on end when she sees it. The number one belongs to this one.
"Woohoo!"
"Don't, don't come here."
Yu Shu's legs were weak, one hand was in front of her, looking left and right, knowing that she couldn't outrun the dog, she looked at a low tree in front of her, swallowed her saliva, and threw the half-eaten snack in her hand behind the vicious dog, taking advantage of its U-turn, she ran forward, stuffing the book into her arms while running, and when she got to the tree, she heard the dog barking behind and chased her, she held the trunk of the tree with both hands and climbed up desperately, and in a panic, a shoe fell to the ground.
"Woohoo!"
Yu Shu went up the tree, hugged the trunk, and looked at the dog under the tree that was grinning at her fiercely, and sweated. The dog lifted its two front legs and tried on the tree several times, but couldn't jump up, and then lowered its head and grabbed Yu Shu's shoes that had fallen on the ground, and bit them angrily.
Not far away, Xue Rui saw this scene, and he had already shaken his shoulders with laughter, but when he turned his eyes and saw Yu Shu trembling on the tree, Fang realized that she was really scared, so he put away his smile and strode forward.
"Need help?"
Yu Shu was worried about how to get rid of this leper dog, heard an inquiry in her ears, looked up, and saw a person walking under the tree.
She saw him leave in the carriage with her own eyes, why did he come out again, is Anling City so small?
It's ridiculous to say that the brown dog was vicious to Yu Shu, and when he saw Xue Rui who walked in front of him, he just turned his head to look at it, and then lowered his head to bite Yu Shu's shoes.
Yu Shu looked at this angry scene and asked in a sullen voice, "You, why are you here?" ”
"I was running errands around here, and I happened to be passing by," Xue Rui said with a serious face, no matter what, following a woman is not a gentleman's doing.
Yu Shu looked at him suspiciously, and suddenly thought of the handsome "son" who was with him in Sun Ji Tavern, and a strange smile appeared on his face:
"Oh, do something."
Xue Rui saw her smile strangely, and knew that she didn't think of anything good, and was about to say something more, when the big dog next to her suddenly jumped up and barked at the tree:
"Woohoo!"
"Ahh
Yu Shu was so frightened that she almost fell from the tree, holding the trunk with both hands and feet, from Xue Rui's angle, she could just see the left foot where she had dropped her shoe, half of the snow-white socks fell off, revealing her small and round ankles, trembling, and the whiteness made him look at it.
Xue Rui coughed lightly, but still avoided his gaze gently, but he didn't have the heart to tease her, sank his face, shook his foot on the ground, and scolded the vicious dog that couldn't stop barking:
"Go away!"
This dog thing is also a bully who is afraid of the soft and the hard, seeing that Yu Shu was afraid of it, he chased after it, and when he saw that Xue Rui was powerful, he ran away with his neck between his necks and turned his head, with Yu Shu's shoe still in his mouth.
After driving away the vicious dog, Xue Rui raised his head to the tree and said:
"It's okay, come down quickly, climb so high and don't fall again."
Yu Shu poked out half of his head and saw that the dog had disappeared. With a long breath, he looked at Xue Rui under the tree, not sure if she was seen by him when she was chased by a dog just now.
"Is it impossible to get down," Xue Rui stretched out his hand, just enough to reach the branch, "Come, I'll help you." ”
No dogs. Yu Shu's alarm was lifted, and he was still afraid of something, so he waved his hand at him, "No, you go to the side." ”
Xue Rui looked at her disgusted gesture. smiled, took two steps back, and saw Yu Shu hooking the trunk with both hands, turning over and slipping down like a monkey, letting go of both hands, jumping steadily on the ground, facing away from him, and straightening his clothes. Only then did he turn his head and thank him:
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." He impromptu came up to him, and he could see her hugging her head and scurrying around, enough for him to laugh for a few days.
Xue Rui put on a good face, if Yu Shu knew what he was thinking in his heart, he was afraid that he would not thank him.
"Then I'll leave if there's nothing to do, don't you still have something to do, go quickly, see you later." Yu Shu waved at Xue Rui casually. Without waiting for him to answer, he turned his head and was about to slip away, and just after walking a few steps, he heard the laughter behind him:
"Wait, you're going to go back like this?"
Yu Shu paused, stopped, and turned his head to look at Xue Rui suspiciously. Following his pointful gaze, he looked down at his foot, saw the sock that was about to fall off, and then he was sluggish to notice that a shoe was missing, and "swished" to shrink the foot behind the leg. Embarrassed, his eyes glanced at each other, and he secretly cursed a stinky dog.
This is good, do you want her to go home barefoot?
“”
"Wait for me here, don't run around." Seeing that she was embarrassed, Xue Rui didn't make fun of her, left a sound, and turned around and walked back the way he came.
Yu Shu couldn't run even if he wanted to, so he really went home barefoot, not to mention that passers-by didn't see it unorthodox, and when he got home, Yu Xiaoxiu found out, and he couldn't stop talking about her.
When she saw Xue Rui walking away, she leaned her back against the tree, put on her socks, and saw a pedestrian passing by, so she pretended to take out a book and came out to read, hiding that foot behind her, and waited like this for a long time, but no one else came back.
"You can't be teasing me." Yu Shu muttered, he didn't plan to wait any longer, thinking that two streets further away, there would be a tailor's shop, and he used to buy a pair of shoes to wear, so he inserted the scroll into his back belt, and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
She deserved her back, just arrived at the mouth of the alley in front of her, and met a family who came out to pour dirty water, a basin splashed out of the door, she couldn't react, jumped back with one foot and took two steps, seeing that a butt was about to fall to the ground, and chased a person from behind, stretched out a palm, and firmly held her shoulder, and heard a light scolding from the top of her head:
"Didn't you say you'd wait for me?"
She tilted her head back, and saw Xue Rui's handsome face panting slightly, her eyes swept to the fine sweat on his forehead, and along the angle of the sun, she saw the half-inch scar looming on the corner of his forehead.
Xue Rui didn't notice Yu Shu's abnormality, helped her stand against the wall, and handed her the paper bag under his arm:
"Put it on."
He found the ready-to-wear shop, only to find that he didn't have silver taels on his body, afraid that she would be in a hurry, so he ran to the pawnshop in Qiu Kwai Fong to order a piece of jade pendant for money, so he delayed it for half a day, and he was afraid that she would run away, but she still ran away.
Yu Shu came back to his senses, suppressed a trace of panic in his heart, took the paper bag he handed over, turned around, turned his back to him and put on his shoes, and found that the shoes he bought fit very well, not too big or too small.
Noticing this detail, she turned her head suspiciously and asked him, "How do you know how big shoes I wear?" “
Xue Rui couldn't say that he saw her feet on the tree just now, so he knew it, so he joked:
"You can see how big my daughter's feet can be."
Who would have thought that this joke would be taken true by Yu Shu, only regarded him as a romantic person, thinking of his illustrious family background, and the handsome "young man" who walked with him in the restaurant today, he felt more and more so.
In this way, she was relieved, and secretly amused by Fang Cai's heartbeat, in terms of age, she was actually seven or eight years older than him, and she would be confused by a young man, and the more she lived, the more she fell back.
"I've run out of money, I'll pay you back for my shoes another day." Yu Shu said, wrapped the only shoe she had changed out in paper, and said goodbye to him with a natural expression:
"The sun is about to go down, if you have anything to do, see you later."
Seeing her natural expression, she didn't dodge before, Xue Rui vaguely felt that something was wrong, it could be seen that it was really not early, so he didn't study it carefully, nodded at her, the two of them were east and west, their backs were separated, and after walking more than a dozen steps, Xue Rui suddenly turned around and said loudly at Yu Shu's back:
"Ashu, don't hit me on the head with a money bag next time."
Not far ahead, Yu Shu stumbled, and his steady pace just now suddenly changed to a trot, and he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Hehe," Xue Rui smiled and rubbed his forehead, which was still aching, turned around in a good mood, and walked back along the sunset.
