Su Muzhi, who walked behind Su Mulian at some point, said with a meaningful smile.

Su Mulian was startled by the sudden words, hurriedly slapped her hand, walked to the store, and pretended to be disgusted: "Go aside, I am friends with Liu Gongzi, don't think nonsense." ”

"Didn't I just say that you and Liu Gongzi are not friends?" Su Muzhi pretended to be innocent and pursed her mouth, blinked her eyes, and asked rhetorically.

Su Mulian realized it later, and when she saw that she was being teased by this girl, she wore an apron, and pretended to be impatient and said: "You little brain, you actually set me up, be careful not to buy you new clothes." ”

"Mother, take a look at Sister Lian." Su Muzhi pursed her mouth aggrievedly, walked to Sun's side, and sneered, "He is going to go boating with Liu Gongzi tomorrow!" He also said that he would not buy me new clothes in the future. ”

When Sun heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he asked with a smile of disbelief: "Sister Lian, did Liu Gongzi really invite you to go boating?" ”

At this point, Su Mulian also knew that she couldn't turn it over, and at this moment she had a feeling of being caught in early love, her cheeks turned red involuntarily, and she nodded and replied: "Hmm." ”

"I can see today that Liu Gongzi looks at Sister Lian'er differently." Su Zheng came up and said, "If Sister Lian really marries into the Liu family, she can also enjoy the glory and wealth, and she doesn't have to suffer with us." ”

After Su Mulian heard this, she hurriedly said: "Don't think nonsense, this is everything that is right, if I really get married, after a long time, I will only be angry." ”

Sun felt that this made sense, and nodded approvingly: "Sister Lian is right, those big families are the most complicated, I still hope that Sister Lian will marry a scholar." ”

The next day, Su Mulian got up early as always, completely put the boating thing behind, wore a blue cloth dress very casually, and after washing, she simply pulled her hair and walked out of the room yawning, just bumping into Su Muzhi.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" Su Muzhi saw that she couldn't dress casually anymore, her eyes widened in surprise and asked.

Su Mulian frowned incomprehensibly when she saw her reaction, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"If you want to go boating with Liu Gongzi today, just wear this?" Su Muzhi asked incredulously.

Su Mulian, who was stunned, patted her head: "I forgot about it." ”

Su Muzhi hurriedly pulled her into the room, then took out an emerald dress from the cabinet, forcibly changed it for her, and then pressed her in front of the bronze mirror.

"What are you doing?" Su Mulian asked rhetorically.

Su Muzhi picked up a comb and combed her hair, and said, "Dress you up." ”

"What's there to dress up with?" Su Mulian, who was lazy, never cared about her makeup, and said.

Su Muzhi snorted coldly, and didn't pay attention to her, but combed her into a good-looking bun, and put on a little hairpin to embellish it, the so-called people rely on clothes, and after dressing up like this, Su Muzhi's shining point was also shown.

"Sister Lian, let's go." Su Muzhi smiled with satisfaction and said.

Su Mulian looked at herself in the bronze mirror, but she hesitated a little: "This is too deliberate, isn't it?" What if Liu Gongzi misunderstands? ”

"Misunderstanding is misunderstanding." Su Muzhi said with a smile and pulled her out of the room, "Let's go quickly, I discussed it with my mother yesterday, and you can just sell pastries today." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was past noon, and Liu Xinghe came to the dim sum shop very early, just as the guests finished buying and left.

"Mu Lian." Liu Xinghe stepped forward and called softly.

Su Mulian smiled a little embarrassedly and nodded.

"Liu Gongzi is here." Sun was very welcoming, and said with a smile, "Come in and eat a pastry." ”

"Thank you Mrs. Su for your kindness, I took Mu Lian out to play." Liu Xinghe said softly with a little shyness.

Of course, Sun nodded understandingly: "Then Liu Gongzi, I will hand over Sister Lian'er to you, you have to protect her safety." ”

"Mother, I'm such a big person, I don't need protection." When Su Mulian heard this, she always felt very strange and helpless, wishing that a crack appeared on the ground and got in.

Liu Xinghe smiled politely and nodded: "Mrs. Su, don't worry." ”

Then the two came to the outside of the city, and the atmosphere along the way made Su Mulian embarrassed, and she began to regret agreeing to his invitation.

When he arrived at the lake, after Liu Xinghe gave the boatman silver, he helped Su Mulian to get on the boat, and then picked up the oars and rowed, there were only two people on the boat, sitting facing each other.

Liu Xinghe's eyes were always on Su Mulian's body, and Su Mulian looked left and right uncomfortably.

The boat rowed into the lotus bushes, the breeze was Buddha, with a faint fragrance of flowers, the sun was not big today, so it was very comfortable, and finally the boat stopped in the middle of the lake.

"Mu Lian, you look so good today." The corners of Liu Xinghe's mouth rose slightly, his eyes were full of love for her, and he said softly.

After hearing this, Su Mulian, who lowered her head, couldn't help blushing, pulled her ear hair uncomfortably, and said, "It's all Muzhi's fault, she forced me to change my clothes and comb my hair in a bun." ”

She was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, but such an explanation made people feel caring.

"It's beautiful." Liu Xinghe said softly.

However, Su Mulian was so embarrassed that she smiled: "Thank you." ”

A moment of silence followed.

"Mu Lian, I like you." Liu Xinghe, who had organized language in his heart for a long time, finally said these six words very bluntly.

This made Su Mulian cough lightly twice very uncomfortably, this ancient man should be subtle, I didn't expect it to be so explicit, my heart was pounding and beating, could it be that I was confessed like this? Her mind didn't keep up, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Mu Lian, I know it's frivolous to say this, but I don't want to hide my feelings for you." Liu Xinghe also felt his faux pas, smiled apologetically, and quickly explained.

Su Mulian forced out a smile and said, "Thank you Liu Gongzi for your love, but I can't accept it." ”

"Why?" Liu Xinghe's eyes widened in confusion and asked.

"First, we don't have the right family, second, we haven't known each other for a few days and don't know each other, and third, I don't want to marry in my life." Su Mulian, who didn't want to give him hope, said it very clearly with a hint of apology.

"It's okay, I can be nice to you." Liu Xinghe hurriedly replied, "We can understand slowly." ”

Su Mulian smiled helplessly: "Young Master Liu, I'm sorry, I really don't have any plans to get married now." ”

Seeing her resolute attitude, Liu Xinghe sighed a little disappointed: "Mu Lian, it's okay, I can wait for you." ”
