Li Qinghan finally snapped out of her surprise and cheerfully replied, "Okay, okay! Brother Mu, let's go!" She stood up and grabbed Su Mu's arm.
The sleeves of my clothes are itching to get going.
Watching Qinghan's cheerful departure, Hu Chanyuan glanced warily at Su Zhixiao, who was sitting quietly beside her, and felt her face burning even more.
I just want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Holding the slightly cool teacup, her mind was in turmoil. The unfinished conversation and the current awkwardness intertwined, making her restless and uneasy.
Looking at his own reflection in the cup, he felt a pang of regret.

Chapter Thirty: Little Qinghan Who Loves to Eat Meat
"Qinghan, is there anything you particularly want to see?" Su Mu led Li Qinghan, strolling slowly through the market where peach blossoms were in full bloom.
Without Su Zhixiao watching him like a hawk, his handsome appearance naturally attracted many bold or shy glances.
Li Qinghan followed half a step behind him, her eyes slightly lowered, feeling the gazes around her, and a sense of possessiveness quietly ignited in her heart.
want.
My brother Mu is shopping with me! What are you all looking at!
But she was, after all, a young lady from a royal family, and her nature was gentle and refined. She couldn't coldly retaliate like Su Zhixiao, nor did she dare to be as bold as Hu Chanyuan.
She directly took Su Mu's arm.
She simply leaned closer to Su Mu, subtly tightening her grip on his sleeve: "Whatever Brother Mu takes Qinghan to see, Qinghan will see."
"What?"
Su Mu noticed her subtle movement and very naturally reached out, gently supporting her wrist and leading her towards a stall:
"Let's start here then. Xiaoxiao and I just strolled around, and the hairpins here are elegant in style; you might like them."
Just by holding her wrist, Li Qinghan's cheeks were already slightly flushed, and she obediently followed.
Su Mu and Su Zhixiao bought quite a few pieces of jewelry for their senior sisters at this stall earlier, and the stall owner was particularly impressed by this handsome customer.
They hurried over to greet them.
"Young master, you've come again. This time it's..." The proprietress was slightly taken aback when she saw Li Qinghan tugging at Su Mu's sleeve.
This doesn't seem to be the same girl from before? Although both of them are wearing veils, their height and build are quite different, and their temperaments are even more distinct.
Su Zhixiao is extremely cold in public, which is what she learned from her master; but she is extremely gentle in front of Su Mu, which is her true nature.
And what about Li Qinghan? Because of her obsession with bringing her "adoptive mother," aunt, and Mu-gege together, she appeared...
She handled things with ease, revealing her meticulous and thoughtful nature.
Although she tried her best to maintain her composure when she was alone with Su Mu, her blushing ears betrayed her shyness.
"Nothing much, just strolling around with my family," Su Mu replied casually.
The word "family" sounded especially sweet to Li Qinghan. With this "family" connection, Brother Mu would never leave.
With that thought, her strange feeling subsided, and she lowered her head to carefully select the items.
The jewelry on display was indeed exquisite, with a white jade hairpin being particularly eye-catching. It was flawless, and the hairpin head was carved with a cute little fox, which looked very lifelike.
"Qinghan, what do you think of this one?" Su Mu picked up the jade hairpin, her fingertips tracing its cool surface, and asked gently, turning her head.
Li Qinghan gazed at the jade hairpin, its surface shimmering warmly in the sunlight, a smile spreading across her eyes: "Hehe, this little white fox is so cute, Brother Mu picked it out..."
Good.
"Hmm? Is it a fox? It looks more like a chubby little dog to me," Su Mu teased with a smile. Li Qinghan was slightly annoyed and lightly kicked him.
under.
Su Mu chuckled softly, not offering the hairpin, but instead leaning slightly forward: "Shall I help you try it on?"
Li Qinghan was startled, her cheeks flushed even more, but she still softly hummed in agreement, lowered her head, revealing a section of her fair and slender neck.
Su Mu raised her hand and very carefully inserted the jade hairpin into her loosely tied hair bun. Her fingertips inadvertently brushed against her temples, feeling the soft, slightly cool touch.
His fingers lingered on her hair for a moment, his movements gentle and focused.
Li Qinghan held her breath, feeling a slight heat on her skin as his fingertips touched her, and her heart began to beat faster.
His warm fingers occasionally brushed against her earlobe, sending a slight shiver down her spine. She lowered her eyes, afraid to move, only able to feel his gentle touch.
The gentle movements and the reassuring presence so close at hand.
"Alright." Su Mu took a slight step back, examined him for a moment, and a satisfied smile curved her lips. "It suits you very well." The white jade shone brightly in the sunlight.
Her dark hair shone brightly, adding to her elegant beauty.
Li Qinghan raised her hand and gently touched the hairpin. Her fingertips seemed to still retain his body heat. Her heart was filled with sweet warmth, and she smiled, "Thank you, Brother Mu."
After paying, Su Mu carefully wrapped the small bag in soft silk and placed it in Li Qinghan's hand. Li Qinghan clutched the small bag tightly, overjoyed.
The two strolled around a few more stalls. He had a discerning eye, and his attitude remained consistently gentle and patient, as if accompanying her on a leisurely stroll was an extremely important and enjoyable activity.
thing.
Li Qinghan followed beside him, being taken care of attentively, feeling the envious glances around her, her heart overflowing with a secret joy. But...
She maintained her dignified demeanor, only the soft light in the corners of her eyes and brows betrayed her good mood.
Arriving at a barbecue stall brimming with the aroma of smoke and fire, the sizzling sound of grease dripping onto the charcoal fire, along with the tempting scent of grilled meat, wafted towards me. Li Qing
Han paused almost imperceptibly, her eyes brightened slightly, and she quietly pursed her lips.
Su Mu noticed this and smiled slightly: "Try it?"
"Mmm," Li Qinghan nodded gently, and when she looked up, her expression unconsciously revealed a touch of girlish liveliness and anticipation, unlike her usual demeanor.
They intend to maintain the image of a gentle and refined lady, but their paths differ.
The vendor deftly handed over several skewers of grilled meat, their aroma filling the air. Li Qinghan carefully blew on them before taking a small bite. Her cheeks puffed out slightly.
==================================================
Page 63:
Unaware of the sauce stains on her lips, she squinted her eyes contentedly, revealing a hint of her innocent and charming nature.
Su Mu watched from the side, a gentle smile spreading across her eyes. She took out her handkerchief and handed it to her, teasingly saying, "Hehe, Qinghan eats so slowly..."
"Nobody's going to take it from you here. I've been like this since I was little; I can't resist meat."
Li Qinghan, who was focused on eating, suddenly froze, her cheeks flushing red.
She immediately suppressed her unconsciously unrestrained manner, her back straightened instinctively, and her eating became extremely refined and elegant, with small bites.
She bit down hard, trying to reclaim the ladylike "demeanor" that had been briefly abandoned.
This subtle change caught Su Mu's eye, and he was slightly taken aback before understanding it. A complex mix of pity and regret welled up in his heart.
He recalled many years ago, on a similar afternoon, when young Li Qinghan nestled beside him, listening to him recite poems and essays.
Lost in thought, she suddenly looked up at him with her delicate, porcelain-like face and blinked her bright, clear eyes, asking:
"Brother Mu, aren't those gentle, virtuous, and graceful women described in the book especially likable?"
He smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, that kind of woman is probably very good."
The little girl wasn't satisfied and asked in a soft voice, "Then does Brother Mu like it?"
He was taken aback by her question. "Maybe."
Looking at the little girl in front of him, he gently patted her head and said, "But as long as it's Qinghan, I'll love her no matter what she looks like."
When she heard that, her eyes crinkled with joy.
But he never expected that his unintentional remark would take root in her heart.
From then on, she seemed to have secretly made up her mind to strive to become that "gentle and elegant" person, imitating the mannerisms in the book in every way.
I describe myself simply to become the person he likes.
"Qinghan, look at me," Su Mu suddenly said.
Li Qinghan was still fretting about her earlier lapse in composure when she heard the sound and turned around. She saw Su Mu mimicking her earlier actions, devouring the meat skewers with gusto, a stark contrast to his usual refined demeanor.
The contrast in their images is striking.
"It smells delicious!" she exclaimed, no longer trying to maintain a ladylike demeanor, and began to enjoy the food heartily. The two ate together, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Su Mu would occasionally wipe the oil stains from her lips, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere, as if they had returned to their innocent childhood days.
After finishing their meal, the two continued their walk. Su Muwei felt somewhat relieved looking at Li Qinghan, who was beaming beside her.
Suddenly, Su Mu stopped abruptly. His relaxed aura vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp alertness, his gaze sweeping across his surroundings like lightning.
Peach grove.
The peach trees had become unusually dense, their branches intertwined and blocking out the sun. Even more strangely, despite the lack of wind, the branches began to sway unnaturally, as if...
Buddha possesses a life-like entanglement and fusion
"Be on guard!" Su Mu shouted in a low voice, his tone cold and detached from his previous gentle demeanor.
The Nine Yang Spear instantly came into his grasp, its crimson tip emitting a scorching, sharp light that illuminated his cold, handsome profile. Without hesitation, he shielded Li Qinghan behind him, and together...
With a flick of his left hand, he issued a brief warning to Su Zhixiao and Li Zhaoning:
"Enemy attack!"
