Chapter 118
On the way to Xue Chen's courtyard, Xue Shu walked ahead, and Jing Xing was half a step behind, following her.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" Turning a corner, Jing Xing asked her.

He wanted to ask just now.

Xue Shu was originally born with a slender frame, and all the fat that grew during the Chinese New Year has completely disappeared. From Jing Xing's point of view, the current Xue Shu may not even be able to withstand a stronger wind.

With that waist, he can hold it with one hand.

Why do you have to be so skinny?
"It's not my mother," Xue Shu said angrily when she mentioned this matter, "I'm going to kiss you, don't let me eat too much."

In the few days of the Chinese New Year, when people had a lot of fish and meat, she could only taste it, and tears of grievance almost flowed from the corners of her mouth.

Forget it.

Hearing this, Jing Xing couldn't help chuckling: "Shu'er, do you still remember what I said?"

"Ok?"

Jing Xing didn't expect her to really remember, so he continued as if talking to himself: "When I get my title on the gold list, I will invite Shu'er to drink, and when the time comes, Shu'er can eat whatever she wants, no one cares." I can hold you."

"That's great." Xue Shu rolled her eyes, looked at him and smiled.

Jing Xing was dazzled by this smile.

He rarely saw Xue Shu smiling so brightly in front of him.

No, never seen it.

So much so that he forgot to look at the road, staggered, and stepped on the empty stairs.

"Hey..." Xue Shu quickly reached out to help him.

However, before her hand touched Jing Xing, Jing Xing stood upright by himself.

"..." Xue Shu didn't expect him to react so quickly, and his outstretched hand froze.

Jing Xing looked back, seeing her movements, his eyes moved slightly: "Shu'er cares about me?"

"Young master Jing is a guest." If she fell, wouldn't it be her negligence as the host?
With that said, Xue Shu withdrew her hand and walked straight past him.

This place is not far from Xue Chen's courtyard, just a few steps away.

Xue Chen had just left the gate, and he was standing in the yard, looking up at the sky.

He was dressed in a green robe, tall and tall, standing quietly in the yard like this, the handwriting with iron and silver hooks behind him added a bit of detached artistic conception.

Everything in front of me looks like a painting.

"Brother!" Xue Shu's eyes lit up, she immediately forgot about Jing Xing, ran towards him, and threw herself into Xue Chen's arms, "Brother, long time no see!"

Indeed, Xue Shu hadn't seen her brother for a full month.

I heard that even when Xue Lu came to deliver food every day, he just put the food in the flower hall and left, leaving only one servant to watch Xue Chen eat.

Of course, it's not that Xue Lushi doesn't want to see him, but at this moment, Xue Lushi doesn't want any change that might disturb Xue Chen's thinking at all.

Since you want to focus, do it absolutely.

Xue Chen raised his hand to stroke Xue Shu's hair, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "Yes, long time no see, Shu'er."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Jing Xing suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Xue Shu was only surprised when she saw him.

But when I saw Xue Chen...

Xue Shu is so happy that even a fool can see it.

So he coughed, emphasizing his presence.

Only then did Xue Shu realize that there was an outsider present, and quickly let go of her hand: "Brother, shall we go out for dinner tonight? It's so lively outside now!"

"Okay," Xue Chen nodded with a smile, "It's all up to you."

Jing Xing's eyebrows moved slightly, and he walked to the yard and sat down: "How about talking with each other?"

Xue Chen looked him up and down, and nodded in response.

The chess table is still placed in the yard, and the servants will wipe it every day to ensure that it is spotless.

The two sat down in front of the chess table, and Xue Shu asked her servants to bring the tea set and made tea for them by herself.

All of a sudden, the sound of chess pieces being placed on the plate, accompanied by the scent of tea, filled the entire yard.

*
Xue Shu also knew a thing or two about chess. After making tea, she sat beside Xue Chen and watched the chess quietly.

The more she looked, the more frightened Xue Shu became, and finally she couldn't help but look up at Jing Xing.

In fact, Jing Xing is also very good at chess, but he cannot beat Xue Chen.

Xue Shu also watched when the two of them played chess before, but Jing Xing at that time was far from what it is now.

The current Jing Xing... There is even a faint shadow of Xue Chen in it.

Treacherous and changeable, it is unpredictable.

This game of chess lasted for two hours.

Xue Shu had been sleepy for a long time. She sat beside Xue Chen, leaning her head on his shoulder, drowsy.

"Tsk..." Xue Chen frowned suddenly, and glanced at Jing Xing.

this person...

I haven't seen you for a month, so the changes are a bit big.

But well.

Still not his opponent.

Xue Chen thought for a moment, and then slowly dropped his hand.

As a result, Jing Xing directly conceded the loss.

"What?" Xue Chen looked at him puzzled.

According to the current way of playing, although Xue Chen will still be the final winner, Jing Xing can't lose much, at least it's better than admitting defeat now.

Jing Xing didn't speak, but only raised his chin slightly towards the people around him.

His face remained calm, but in his heart he sighed greatly.

It's not in vain that he spent all his time on housekeeping, and it took him two hours to finally get this dinner.

Almost boiled him to death.

Only then did Xue Chen understand.

So he moved his shoulders lightly and woke Xue Shu up: "Shu'er, wake up, let's go out for dinner."

"Oh..." Xue Shu rubbed her eyes, only to realize that Jing Xing had conceded again when she opened her eyes.

Now it was indeed time for dinner.

Why does it feel like she is living a life of eating and sleeping again...

Xue Shu looked down at her waist worriedly.

Occasionally, it should not grow meat.

*
For dinner, everyone went to Fan Lou.

It is still the private room next to the hall.

At this moment, Fanlou is dozens of times more lively than before.

The emperor made it easier for the students who came to Beijing to rush for the exam to pay for the money, and the merchants in the capital naturally followed suit, and Fanlou was no exception.

As long as there are students who are preparing for the spring at the same table, if there is one person, it will be [-]% off, if there are two people, it will be [-]% off, and the [-]% off will be capped.

[-]% off!

Fanlou is a very famous restaurant in Daliang. If you have a chance, you can eat it at a discount. If you don't take advantage of such a great deal, you are a fool!
So at the gate of Fanlou, many students temporarily formed a team, and after gathering enough people, they entered Fanlou together for dinner.

The bustle of Fanlou came from this.

Xue Shu hasn't looked back since she sat down.

"What's interesting?" Xue Chen also turned his head to look for a while.

Looking at it, there is only one feeling - chaos.

There were people coming and going downstairs, not to mention the colors of the clothes they wore, and even the colors of their hair were different. Accompanied by the loud noises, Xue Chen only felt dizzy.

But Xue Shu watched with great interest.

After more than ten years of cold and lonely days in the Taoist temple, this kind of fresh fireworks is a rare treasure for her.
