Having her suggestion rejected, Qi’er, who usually complied with her master, felt somewhat conflicted: “Then I’ll go to the medicine room and ask today.” Such items were generally restricted and required approval from the account manager.
Xu Wanzhi smiled slightly: “No rush, just buy it and keep it for me.”
“Yes.” The master and servant had a rare harmonious morning chat. Xu Wanzhi abandoned her thoughts of sleeping and transmigrating back, and began to plan practically.
Qu Xiaojue looked at him deeply, no longer dwelling on the topic: “I heard you wanted to go out yesterday, so today is perfect, come with me.”
“No need, I still have some things to do.”
” Qu Xiaojue paused, asking him directly. Seeing him slightly lower his head and fiddle with the lotus heart, she added: “Could my husband have some elegant interest, brewing a cup of lotus flower tea?”
If it were a familiar friend, she would have replied: “You talk too much.” However, facing Qu Xiaojue’s slightly intentional friendly expression, she had no position to be harsh. She honestly shook her head and answered: “No, they’ve gone bad soaking in the pond, but I can still pick them out and keep them for two more days.” Brewing tea or porridge would still put them to good use.
This pitiful and cherishing appearance seemed quite normal to Qu Xiaojue. Seeing him clear and gentle in the morning light, unlike yesterday’s seemingly sharp knife and bitterness, she relaxed her brow and brought up the previous question: “You said earlier you wanted to meet Lin Alun’s husband. I’ve been delayed for a long time, shall we visit together today?”
She finished speaking and carefully observed his expression.
Xu Wanzhi raised his eyes, looking at her strangely: “Qu Family Master, you’re being too enthusiastic.” Such direct words always choke the listener. Qu Xiaojue turned her eyes, seeing his slight bitter smile, but spoke truthfully: “Awan, I don’t know why you’re like this. I want you to go out, so I’ll make it convenient. We’ve depended on each other for three years…”
If you had this idea earlier, how could today be like this?
Is “only understanding cherishment after losing” truly an unbreakable curse? Xu Wanzhi sighed inexplicably, holding the lotus pod, bitter in his heart.
