Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Six Night Tour of the Town, Bookstore Memories
This was the first time Zhao Rong heard Su Xiao's novel telling him to shut up, and his blood pressure couldn't be suppressed at all.
It feels like this is even more uncomfortable than her directly scolding someone. Just now she held his face coquettishly and called Zhao Lang Zhao Lang...
Zhao Rong held back again.
He suppressed the hand that was going to spank her butt and clenched it into a fist.
Let go again.
He stretched out his hand, but every time when he wanted to put his hand on her small shoulder or somewhere else, she always refused to let him go.
Don't let Zhao Rong win her back.
"Hey, do you want to go out for a walk?" Zhao Rong suddenly asked, "I mean, do you want to go out for a walk to enjoy the breeze? There is a small town two miles north of the wasteland. I saw that the lights were very lively when I passed by before.
Yes, there are so many people coming to Mount Yue in the past few days. There should be a bustling market there and a lot of fun things... Well, I don't force you to go back right now. I'll accompany you to go there to calm down.
,OK?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak.
Zhao Rong lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves, looked at his palms, lowered his eyes and repeated: "If I say, I promise you not to leave, and I will go out for a walk with you later, can you stop being so petty?
?Go back to Taiqing Mansion tomorrow and be a hard-working and obedient little fox fairy, okay?"
"Well, I might, or I might not." She didn't look at him. After saying that, she ran forward quickly, hit the curtain at the door, and left the tent. She didn't care whether there was anyone passing by the door at this time.
will hit.
Zhao Rong sighed, why are you still acting like a little girl?
"Zhao Rong, what do you mean..."
He ignored Xinhu Ligui's doubts and objections and quickly followed him without explaining for the time being.
When Zhao Rong arrived at the door, he found that the small book box placed here was gone. He looked up and saw a small red figure in front of him running happily with the small book box on his back, as if he was not ready to wait for him.
Zhao Rong shook his head and did not take back the jars of fine wine on the ground. He waved and clasped his fists at some of the string-stringed girls who were curious to ask for his instructions. He declined the help and went straight after the little fox demon.
After a while, Zhao Rong caught up with Su Xiaoxiao on the official road leading to the prosperous town.
Zhao Rong knew that she didn't run faster because she was waiting for him on purpose, although she turned her back to him and refused to admit it at all.
Zhao Rong silently stepped forward and wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, but she swung her ponytail and ran away.
The little fox demon in red clothes carried a small book box and ran to the other side of the official road, opposite Zhao Rong.
This time he didn't bring trouble and came closer.
Zhao Rong knew that she would follow him, so he led the way with his hands on his sleeves and walked in the direction of the town in his memory.
The Confucian scholar and the fox demon walked on both sides of the road, one on the left and the other on the right.
It seemed that no one was looking at the other. The passers-by and the carriages and horses passing by on the official road at night thought that the two were strangers who did not know each other.
But Zhao Rong wasn't too worried that Su Xiaoxiao would get lost. Although she didn't look at him at all, Zhao Rong could feel a certain afterglow floating towards him.
Zhao Rong smiled softly in his heart, took a breath of the refreshing night breeze in a relaxed manner, and took Su Xiaoxiao towards the prosperous town.
After about two cups of tea, the two of them saw the bright lights ahead.
A prosperous town that stands out in the wilderness.
The dim light and desolate atmosphere of the past has been swept away due to the influence of the Zen ceremony in the past few days.
It's particularly lively tonight.
Zhao Rong no longer needed to lead the way, so Su Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and ran into the busy city with a small book box on her back. Zhao Rong followed immediately.
However, the two of them still walked on both sides of the road, separated by the flow of people entering and exiting the busy city.
Zhao Rong somewhat disliked those Dali dignitaries who rode carriages in the downtown area, because their carriages would temporarily block his vision and stand between him and her, causing the little fox demon to disappear from his peripheral vision for a short time.
So Zhao Rong had to turn his head frequently and concentrate on a certain fiery little figure on the other side of the street.
"Hey, slow down, wait for me." Zhao Rong couldn't help shouting to her at the intersection at the end of a street. He was afraid that she would disappear into the crowd of people at the intersection in the blink of an eye, making him unable to judge her.
The chosen path.
Su Xiaoxiao still refused to look at him, but he could feel that she heard him, so when they reached the intersection, she seemed to slow down, waiting for him. After he caught up, she looked around
Look, then I chose a snack street with a candy blower stall and ran there.
Zhao Rong followed silently.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped in front of the candy blowing stall. The stall was surrounded by a group of parents with their children. She stood on the outside, tiptoeing with a small book box on her back, and looked inside, seemingly curious.
Zhao Rong, who had walked past, paused, then returned, and came to her side. He glanced at her, who seemed to be concentrating on the candy blower. After thinking about it, he gently stretched out his hand and grabbed her small book box.
Then he tried to lift her up and help her carry it, but she twisted her waist, broke away from his hand, and took a step aside pretending not to recognize him.
The little girl really seemed to be angry when she wanted to vent her anger, so Zhao Rong silently withdrew his hand.
In front of the candy man stall, there was a little boy who was as black as a lump of charcoal. He tugged on the clothes of the middle-aged woman next to him and said, "Mother, mother, I want to blow like a monkey, let him blow like a monkey..."
When the candy master with rough hands but extremely dexterous skills was blowing candy to other children, the little fox demon stood beside her and tilted her head to watch. He stood behind her.
Zhao Rong did not try to put his hand on her or the small bookcase again, because he was afraid that if he extended his hand again, she would really get angry and run away.
This stupid girl was like that, he had to be careful and accommodate her when she was acting petty, otherwise she would do any naughty thing and make Zhao Rong angry to death.
"Which little animal do you like?" Zhao Rong asked in a low voice, seeming to be talking to her in front of him, but also seeming to be talking to himself.
She didn't know if she heard it, so she didn't answer. Finally, she reluctantly glanced at the candy man stall, and then ran away.
Zhao Rong turned his head and glanced at the candy man stall, then followed Su Xiaoxiao in front without stopping.
He followed her step by step, stopping when she stopped and walking away when she left.
For every small stall where Su Xiaoxiao stayed or anything where Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lingered for more than three breaths, Zhao Rong, who was following behind, would silently take a look, and then did not make any immediate move, but continued to follow, fearing that she would get lost.
Su Xiaoxiao slowly walked to the end of the street after a long time. Zhao Rong originally thought that she was going to go back the same way, but the next second he saw her suddenly running towards a store ahead. He looked up.
Look, it turns out to be a bookstore located in a somewhat remote location.
Zhao Rong followed, and Su Xiaoxiao jumped over the threshold, ran into the bookstore and started shopping happily, looking for books everywhere and flipping through them. The bookstore owner was dozing off, but he was suddenly awakened by her noisy movements.
Seeing that she was a strange wild girl, I carried a chicken feather blanket, muttered a little dissatisfied and prepared to step forward.
Zhao Rong, who was following behind, stepped forward in time, handed over some silver, and shook his head. The bookstore owner accepted it calmly, weighed it, his expression did not change, nodded, and no longer cared about this strange couple.
Already.
Zhao Rong walked aside and pretended to look through a book, but in fact he was silently looking at the little fox demon inside who was looking around for books about gifted scholars and beauties.
He suddenly remembered that when he first met her, he seemed to be in a bookstore in a busy city.
At that time, the two of them looked at each other across a bookshelf, in a gap as thick as a book.
Zhao Rong stepped forward unexpectedly and came to the back of the bookshelf she was sitting on again. He looked through the gap between the bookshelf and looked at the beautiful little face behind the bookshelf with his head bowed attentively.
"If you don't mind, please don't look at me inappropriately." The little fox demon, who lowered his head, suddenly said politely.
Zhao Rong smiled and finally spoke, right?
But she didn't smile. She lowered her head and had a small face, looking very serious and focused. It seemed that there was something very attractive in the book. People who didn't know it would think she was reading some serious book.
"Wait for me here." he said.
Su Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear, turned around, and avoided that particularly warm gaze.
Zhao Rong turned around with a smile and left the bookstore directly, but he could feel a certain gaze following him behind him.
Zhao Rong did not look back.
He suddenly felt that the bustling lights and moonlit night outside seemed particularly beautiful tonight.
