Sueños Florales en la Ciudad

Capítulo 204

"Hehe, then I won't be polite!" Zhu Huihui continued eating happily.

Liu Yue stared at her intently. Feng Xuese noticed the strangeness in his gaze and explained on Zhu Huihui's behalf, "This child is very hungry. Please don't mind, Brother Liu Yue."

"Yes, yes, your steamed buns are so delicious!" Zhu Huihui rarely praised them. For the sake of the delicious buns, she could postpone her revenge for the humiliation inflicted by this smiling tiger.

Liu Yue smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhu Huihui! When you were interrogating me, didn't I confess everything?" Zhu Huihui complained while eating a steamed bun, blaming the man for his bad memory.

"Ah..." Liu Yue coughed awkwardly. So, her surname was Zhu...

"What's wrong?" Zhu Huihui looked at him, puzzled.

How old are you?

Zhu Huihui scratched her head, looking a little confused: "Fourteen or fifteen, or maybe seventeen, my mother said she can't remember either."

So Liu Yue was also confused.

Feng Xuese knew that this was another person who didn't understand the situation, and felt very sorry for him. She said, "This child's mother seems to have a very strange temperament. Brother Liuyue will understand in the future."

Liu Yue nodded thoughtfully. That person also had a very eccentric personality... So, could this girl be her...?

Feng Xuese beckoned Zhu Huihui over.

"What is it, sir?"

"Stick your head over here."

Zhu Huihui immediately covered her neck with both hands and shouted defensively, "I didn't do anything! Why are you taking your anger out on someone else's head again!"

Feng Xuese was both amused and annoyed. She took out a small box from her bosom and said, "Who cares about your head!"

He stretched out two fingers, gently pinched her rosy cheeks, pulled them in front of him, opened the lid of the medicine box, picked out a little ointment, and carefully applied it to the large blue bump on her forehead.

The ointment, once applied, produced an extremely cooling sensation, seeping into the burning skin, causing Zhu Huihui to flinch.

Maple Snow paused for a moment: "Does it hurt a lot? Just bear with it for a bit. This ointment is very effective; the bruise will be gone by tomorrow."

Zhu Huihui's eyes were filled with fear. Why was the old man suddenly being so nice to her? Experience told her that such unusual behavior was never a good thing!

After waiting anxiously for a long time without seeing the old man make a move, I couldn't help but say, "Sir, although I don't know what I've done wrong this time, whether you're going to cut off my legs or my head, please hurry up, I still have some steamed buns to finish eating!" Anyway, the old man wouldn't really cut me off, so let him finish scaring me quickly, and I'll be at peace!

Maple Snow paused, then withdrew the ointment: "Zhu Huihui!"

"Yes, sir!" came the reply smoothly.

"Get out of the way!"

"Yes, hero!" Zhu Huihui grabbed the remaining two steamed buns and left.

Liu Yue looked at her, a deep smile involuntarily appearing in her peach-blossom eyes.

Zhu Huihui moved a little further away from the two old men, ate her steamed bun, and looked at the two men sitting on the big rock, talking and eating politely, but talking more than eating.

She didn't dare to go closer, but craned her neck to listen for a while. It was all about who did evil, who was powerful, and what they did... It sounded like a story about the martial arts world, but she couldn't understand it very well. It was a hundred times worse than what her mother told her, and it was utterly tasteless.

So she got tired of listening and played by herself for a while. Feeling bored, she lay down on the grassy hillside, put her hands behind her head, propped one leg up, and swung the other leg back and forth. The sun warmed her whole body, making her feel very comfortable. A wave of drowsiness washed over her, and she yawned widely, slowly closing her eyes.

She didn't know how long she had slept when she was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. There was a rustling sound on the grass, as if countless insects and snakes were crawling. She listened for a moment, then suddenly came to her senses, sat up, opened her eyes, and her mouth immediately gaped open.

A fair hand gently pressed against her mouth.

Zhu Huihui was shocked and was about to bite when her eyes met a pair of misty, peach-blossom eyes, and she could no longer bite down.

Liu Yue raised an index finger and put it to her beautiful lips, making a shushing gesture.

Zhu Huihui didn't understand what he was up to and nodded blankly. Liu Yue slowly withdrew his hand from her mouth and pointed around.

Zhu Huihui glanced around, then automatically stretched out both hands to cover her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.

Liu Yue smiled and gently stroked her hair, as if praising her for being well-behaved.

Zhu Huihui blushed slightly, actually feeling a little shy. She was usually very thick-skinned and didn't care about other people's scolding or sarcasm, but if someone was even a little bit nice to her, she would feel extremely flattered.

Seeing her embarrassment, Liu Yue's smile became even more gentle and radiant.

Zhu Huihui blinked her long eyelashes and looked away. "Um..." Her vocabulary was limited, and she didn't know how to address this person. Feng Xuese was both a chivalrous hero and a grandpa, and the red-robed bald man was a master. Calling him "big brother" wasn't flattering enough, and he definitely wouldn't be happy... She was really in a dilemma!

Liu Yue smiled and said, "You can call me by my name."

"Huh?" Does that mean I should also call Liu Yue "brother"?

Liu Yue's eyes crinkled into a smile: "My name is Liu Yue, Liu as in 'high sky and flowing clouds,' and Yue as in 'king' plus the character for 'moon.'" He picked up a short twig and wrote his name on the ground, "My surname is also Zhu, Zhu Liu Yue, do you know that?"

Zhu Huihui pointed to the character "流" and exclaimed with delight, "I recognize this character! It's the '流' in 'liugang' (hooligan), it's an old friend!" Zhu Liuyue? So what if you're surnamed Zhu too? Don't try to get close to me, I haven't forgotten the grudge I suffered at your hands!

Liu Yue seemed a little disappointed, but quickly smiled again: "What are the two characters in your name?"

"Huihui, it's the 'hui' in dust."

Liu Yue was a little curious: "Why would you choose such a name?" It doesn't sound like a girl's name at all.

"My mother said that dust is very harmful and can cause many diseases, but without it, there would be no light or rain, so people both hate it and cannot live without it."
