Chapter 112 Tenderness is Engraved in the Bones
She sighed for only a moment, then looked at Lin Huo, "Lin Yingzhi, where are you going?"
"Let's go back to Wuchuan. The elders at home are urging you to get married." Lin Huo sorted out his thoughts, looked at her and said.
"Oh, I hope you find the woman of your dreams."
"Thank you very much. How about you? Didn't your family urge you?"
"Of course I urged you, but I won't give in. If I really get married one day, I will only marry someone who makes me happy." Hua Qingran smiled, "It's agreed that I will treat you to dinner at Lingwei Tower tonight. See you later."
"Goodbye."
Watching her and Jiang Yubai disappear into the crowd, Lin Huo sighed, thinking that they were not destined to be together after all.
Jiang Yubai watched her looking around in the crowd and said, "Qingran, do you want to eat tofu pudding?"
"Yes, I heard the vendors hawking their wares when I came here this morning. I was very tempted, but I have work to do and I've already had breakfast." She turned to look at him and smiled.
"Do you want to eat now?" Jiang Yubai avoided her smiling gaze.
It moved him too much.
"Yes, let's go!" She answered, and then asked, "How do you know I want to eat this?"
"It was obvious that your eyes lit up when you came over in the morning and looked at the stall."
"Really, Jiang Yubai, you are very careful." Hua Qingran turned around and went back.
Jiang Yubai didn't respond.
The two walked to the stall, Jiang Yubai asked her to sit down first while he went to ask someone to serve.
Hua Qingran took a bite of the candied haws that she had just bought and looked at his back.
That touch of white makes it stand out from the crowd, like a bamboo standing proudly among the peaks.
Jiang Yubai met her gaze and sat down opposite her, then took out an oil-paper bag from his treasure bag and said, "Here."
Hua Qingran took it and said, "It smells so good even before it's opened. What is this?"
"Spicy Bunny, didn't you say you particularly like sweet and spicy food?"
She raised her eyes and glanced at him. "When did you buy it? I didn't see you leave along the way."
"I bought it after dinner last night." Jiang Yubai said as he handed over a pair of chopsticks.
Hua Qingran smiled, with a hint of teasing in his voice, "A few days ago I said I would take care of you on the way, but I never thought you would take care of me everywhere along the way."
It's rare to find someone who is so meticulous.
She had just casually mentioned her taste last night, and he remembered it.
Jiang Yubai paused, "Since I'm traveling with you, I can't just do nothing."
Hua Qingran raised his lips slightly and changed the subject: "When will you teach me how to draw talismans in the void?"
The stall owner brought two bowls of tofu pudding.
"Thank you very much. You have worked hard." Jiang Yubai thanked him.
"Thank you, sir." The stall owner was flattered. It was rare for diners to thank him, so every time he received a thank you, he felt very happy.
Hua Qingran looked at him, and at this moment he suddenly understood what his grandfather meant by "everything you do is a reflection of your upbringing."
When facing the high-ranking "Su Qi", he can remain calm and polite, and when facing ordinary people, he can also speak kindly and gently.
Some people may seem distant and cold, but gentleness is engraved in their bones.
"You can do it in the afternoon." Jiang Yubai asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me?"
"That's right, I think you're very special." She lowered her head, scooped up a spoonful of tofu pudding and brought it to her lips.
A smile flashed across Jiang Yu's eyes.
After eating the tofu pudding, Jiang Yubai cleaned up the oil paper bags, bowls and spoons on the table and put them in a corner.
"Want to go back to the inn?" he asked as he left the stall side by side with her.
"Go back, take a nap."
"Well, then, are you still learning to draw talismans in the void?"
"Study. After that, I'll go to Lin Yingzhi for dinner." She looked at him, "Want to join us?"
"it is good."
After returning to the inn, Jiang Yubai continued to ask the waiter to fetch cold water.
The waiter who was called was the same person. When he heard that he was asked to bring more cold water, his face looked a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Guests all have their own little quirks, and curiosity kills the cat.
After the waiter filled the bathtub with water, Jiang Yubai untied his belt, took off his outer robe, got into the bathtub and closed his eyes.
We should leave tomorrow. If we delay any longer, my bloodshot eyes and vertical pupils will be exposed and it might scare her.
And he couldn't help but get closer to her, staring at her which was too offensive.
Jiang Yubai opened his eyes, slightly distracted.
After a while, he dispersed a little of the evil spirit on his body and controlled it in the next room and the room where he was.
Hua Qingran, who was about to fall asleep next door, suddenly lost his sleepiness.
It's evil spirit, coming from the next room.
She glanced at the wall, then after a while pulled the quilt over her, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
It's him, so forget it.
When there was movement next door, Jiang Yubai got up from the bathtub, and the heat in his body was suppressed a lot.
The cold water is already slightly warm.
He changed his clothes, used his magical powers to dry them, and called the waiter in.
After the waiter finished cleaning up the water, Jiang Yubai opened the door a little, then sat back at the table and closed his eyes.
Hua Qingran came over and saw that the door was open. After knocking three times, she heard Jiang Yubai's voice.
"come in."
Hua Qingran heard this and went in. "Is this the door specially left for me?"
"Yes." Jiang Yubai stood up and turned around. "It's easier to gather spirits when you are just starting to draw talismans in the void while standing. I won't ask you to sit down."
Hua Qingran took two steps forward and looked at his face. "Why do I feel your face is a little red?"
It wasn't obvious, but he didn't usually look like this.
Jiang Yubai raised his hand and touched his cheek with the back of his fingertips. It felt slightly warm. "Maybe he just woke up. Don't worry."
Hua Qingran said "Oh", not knowing whether he believed it or not.
"Stand further away." Jiang Yubai said in a gentle voice.
She was so close that he couldn't help wanting to reach out and touch her.
Being in estrus and with his beloved woman right before his eyes, his self-control seemed to be a little poor.
Hua Qingran stepped back upon hearing this.
"The so-called void drawing talismans is still to draw the spiritual power of heaven and earth to the fingertips, and use the energy cultivated in the body to control the spiritual energy to draw the talisman."
"This is essentially no different from drawing talismans with a royal brush, but it requires a more proficient control of spiritual power."
Jiang Yubai demonstrated it to her, condensing the spiritual power into a tangible form, drawing a talisman in the void, and finally stopping.
"Try it."
Hua Qingran succeeded after trying for the third time.
"You have a very good understanding, but your speed is still slow. You need to practice more." He said with a smile.
Hua Qingran nodded, "Just sit aside and watch. If there is anything wrong with the painting, please point it out."
Jiang Yubai sat down as he was told.
As the evening fell, Jiang Yubai followed her to Lingwei Tower.
Hua Qingran turned around and looked at his expression without asking anything.
After they sat down, she looked at Lin Huo and said, "I promised to treat you to a meal, so it's up to you to order the dishes."
Lin Huo nodded, "Then I won't be polite. I'll order half and you guys order the rest."
"it is good."
"Jiang Yubai, do you want some?" She looked at him.
"No, just order whatever you want. I can do anything."
Hua Qingran ordered the dishes upon hearing this. When the dishes came, there were two very light dishes, which she placed in front of Jiang Yubai.
"Although you say you eat everything, I noticed that you don't eat much. You probably prefer lighter food."
Jiang Yubai curled his lips, "Thank you."
Lin Huo glanced at them, and that feeling that shouldn’t have appeared came up again.
I always feel like I'm an eyesore.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Yubai went back and soaked in cold water all night as usual. He appeared in front of Hua Qingran early the next morning and had breakfast with her.
After he finished, he went upstairs and said, "Qingran, I have to go back to Yingchuan."
"Okay." Hua Qingran was stunned for a moment.
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Before he turned around, she asked, "Jiang Yubai, are you a human?"
