Chapter 164: I'll do my best
"Are these shoes really bought by my brother?"
Xiao Wei's pleasantly surprised and incredulous gaze shifted from the new shoes on his feet to Bai Lu's face.
Bai Lu raised an eyebrow, "Don't you believe it... Ah Cheng?"
Xiao Wei's face tightened, frantically trying to stop Bai Lu, but she had already shouted "Ah Cheng" again.
The voice was even louder than before.
Sure enough, within three seconds, a man with a spatula in hand and wearing Bai Lu's apron appeared.
As soon as he arrived, his gaze fell on Bai Lu, "What's up?"
Bai Lu looked at Xiao Wei, who was nervously fidgeting and not saying anything, and couldn't help but smile. She walked over and lightly tugged at Xiao Cheng's sleeve.
"The shoes you bought for Xiao Wei, he really likes them. He even said that the shoes you picked are really good-looking."
Xiao Cheng noticed that Bai Lu's courage was growing.
Not only did she dare to put a pink apron on him, order him to cook, and not help him with the fire, but she also left him alone in the kitchen.
While cooking, she even dared to call him over to listen to idle talk, and he wondered where she got the courage to think he would compliment Xiao Wei on how good he looked in those shoes.
Bai Lu, holding Xiao Cheng's silent arm, shook it playfully. "Ah Cheng, does Xiao Wei look good in these shoes?"
Xiao Cheng's arm felt like it was being scratched by two soft claws, entering his bloodstream, spreading warmth throughout his body.
"Um."
"Um, what does that mean?" Bai Lu pretended not to understand and shook his arm again.
Xiao Cheng, who hated being bothered, couldn't stand it after a few shakes. Bai Lu knew that. So, shaking it again and again, she persistently said, "These are the shoes you personally chose for Xiao Wei, paid for with your own money. Don't you think they look good?"
Xiao Cheng only remembered that Bai Lu had dragged him to the clothing market, asked the shoestore owner for shoes suitable for a seven-year-old boy, and demanded the latest style not found in other stores.
There were only two shoe stores in town.
After the shop owner brought out the shoes, Bai Lu asked him to choose the best-looking pair for Xiao Wei.
He glanced at the only pair of shoes in front of him, and Bai Lu happily paid for them from his pocket.
Putting the money back into his pocket, she happily took him to the market to buy vegetables.
After buying vegetables, she asked if he wanted to cook a delicious meal, and she helped him tie the apron.
After tying the apron, she lit the fire and ran away.
Xiao Cheng couldn't remember when he had chosen shoes himself. If just looking counted, he had to answer when a girl stared at him and wouldn't let him go without an answer.
So, he said, "It's okay."
Bai Lu wasn't satisfied with this answer, but the little guy in front of her was already happily lighting up like a light bulb.
With a grateful expression, he thanked, "Thank you, big brother, big sister."
That was acceptable.
Xiao Cheng nodded, turned around, and took Bai Lu straight back to the kitchen.
The meal was actually ready, a table full of delicious dishes with the fragrant smell filling the entire kitchen.
Bai Lu could just grab a bowl and chopsticks and start eating.
But Xiao Cheng didn't allow it. He insisted on having her personally take off the apron that he could easily remove.
He insisted that she do it herself.
Claiming that it was for her sake.
After finishing the meal.
Sitting by the well in the yard were a large and a small figure, two washbasins—one filled with new clothes, the other with new shoes. The scent of laundry powder scattered in the air.
Xiao Cheng had to go out to find Wang Hao, confirm the situation of the store lease in the city, and go through the necessary procedures.
Those miscellaneous small sects and factions in the martial world also needed to be dealt with. As for the influential figures in the market, he would handle them accordingly.
"Goodbye, Ah Cheng." "Goodbye, big brother."
The sudden voices interrupted Xiao Cheng's steps as he was about to leave, and he turned around.
The girl, with clothes still in her hands, full of white bubbles, had an exceptionally sweet smile on her face.
Those crescent-like eyebrows and eyes, a melodious voice, clearly indicated a very good mood.
Xiao Wei was the same.
"Will you come back for dinner tonight?" the girl asked again.
Xiao Cheng wasn't sure; all the matters were trivial, but nothing was absolute, unexpected situations were inevitable.
"You two eat first, no need to wait for me," Xiao Cheng said.
Bai Lu nodded, "We'll save you some food."
Xiao Wei also nodded vigorously.
Before, when he left food, big brother wouldn't even spare a glance. Now that Bai Lu left food, big brother would definitely come back earlier.
Big brother would definitely eat the food left by Bai Lu.
Xiao Cheng remembered the last time he came back after picking chestnuts in the countryside. Bai Lu left him food, but he came back late.
And he drank.
Wasting a table full of good intentions.
Just as he was about to refuse, Bai Lu spoke before him, "If you really can't make it back for dinner, then forget it. I won't do so much."
The joyful tone from a moment ago had a hint of disappointment now, even the most pleasant voice couldn't conceal it.
Xiao Cheng originally wanted to say "Um," but when the words reached his lips, it turned into, "I'll do my best."
Bai Lu's smile, which had disappeared for a moment, immediately returned even brighter, "I'll buy a lot of your favorite dishes. I will definitely live up to the beautiful clothes and shoes you gave me."
What an ungrateful transaction!
The first sentence was fine, but the second sentence made Xiao Cheng feel like he was being unfairly taken advantage of.
With a reluctant nod, he turned and walked away.
Taking advantage of the advantage of long legs, he took confident strides out, as if every extra second was a mistake.
Bai Lu was puzzled, "Xiao Wei, do you ever feel that your brother is sometimes very aloof?"
Xiao Wei, happily brushing his new shoes, shook his head, "I don't think so."
"My brother has always been like this. It's not the first day you've known him. Everyone likes him this way."
he said it as if not liking him was a sin.
"How do you know everyone likes him?" Bai Lu's tone implied disbelief, "How come I don't know, and I haven't heard about it? Could it be that... you created this everyone-likes-him image just to protect your brother's face?"
How could Xiao Wei tolerate the undervaluation of his brother's charm? He immediately counted the little fan girls who were enchanted by his brother.
"The girl Liu Ximei who sells noodles likes my brother. Every time I pass by on my way to school, she asks me to bring back pork trotters noodles for my brother... Li Li who sells tofu also likes my brother, and she even asked me to help deliver a love letter to my brother... Wang Daye's daughter from North Street also likes my brother... The granddaughter of Gu Laoye from West Street also likes my brother, and there's also Wang Cuihua..."
Other people's peach blossoms bloom one by one.
Xiao Cheng's peach blossoms bloom in clusters.
Bai Lu smiled gently, "Did you bring them?"
Xiao Wei felt that Bai Lu's smile suddenly became cold.
Shaking his head honestly, "No."
"Did you deliver the love letter?"
Xiao Wei's scalp began to numb, "No."
"Did you pass on someone's message?"
Xiao Wei shook his head vigorously, "No."
Bai Lu continued to smile, "So Wang Cuihua likes your brother, and you knew it a long time ago?"
Xiao Wei shook his head like a tambourine.
But Bai Lu's smile became even colder, "You just said it."
