C3 Difficult to speak

In the crowded market, a beautiful young girl with rosy lips and white teeth was leading a cute and lively little boy through the market.

Liu Xu gave a charming smile, her mouth humming an unknown tune, her footsteps light, from time to time she would lower her head to look at Chen Hui, who was beside her, and say a few words to him.

Of course, Chen Hui couldn't understand a single word of it, but Liu Xu still enjoyed it.

It was unknown why, but the more she looked, the more she liked the Chen Hui beside her.

Chen Hui also raised his head to look at Liu Xu from time to time, and whenever his eyes met hers, Liu Xu would smile at him.

After that, Chen Hui frowned and lowered his head, continuing to think about how to communicate with Liu Xu.

Jing Xin followed the two of them and found the scene extremely interesting, he covered his mouth and chuckled from time to time.

When the passersby saw this warm scene, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a well-decorated wine house.

It was a three-storey restaurant with a red room and blue tiles. Two big red lanterns were hung on the door, and a large signboard was in the middle of the room. On the signboard, three flamboyant words were written: "Phoenix Riding Restaurant".

"Kid, you were eating just now. You must be hungry, right? Elder sister will first take you to eat something, alright? " Liu Xu smiled and brought Chen Hui into the wine house.

As he entered, he saw a red staircase that led to the second floor. There were only six or seven round tables in the hall, and each table was separated by a screen.

At the moment, the hall was already filled with people. They would occasionally exchange toasts and chat merrily. But it didn't make too much noise, and was instead whispering to each other. This feeling made Chen Hui feel a little strange.

At these tables, there would occasionally be female attendants shuttling back and forth to add some tea for the guests at the tables. As they walked in the main hall, the faint sound of a beautiful zither could be heard from upstairs.

After pausing for a moment in the hall, Jing Xin called for a female servant and they went upstairs.

When he got to the second floor, the faint sound of the zither became even clearer. The music did not come from the second floor, but from the third floor above.

There was a long and narrow passage in front of them. There were two chambers on both sides of the passage. Each room had a painting of mountains and rivers hanging in front of it. Each painting gave the entire corridor a touch of quiet elegance.

The doors of the rooms were all closed, and from the outside, the rooms looked the same. There was only two or three rooms with a small red sign on the door with the word "Guest" written on it.

The female attendant led Chen Hui and the other two directly to the center of the room, and helped Liu Xu push open the door and make a gesture to welcome them, then Liu Xu casually walked in with Chen Hui.

Seeing that everyone had entered, the female attendant closed the door and hung the sign "Guest" on the door before turning around to leave.

"Strange, why did she bring me here? Do you want to eat? "

Suspiciously looking at Liu Xu, Chen Hui curiously looked around the room.

The entire room was decorated simply with a round table and a few chairs.

There was a vase of unknown flowers on the table. The faint fragrance of the flowers wafted into Chen Hui's nose.

Hugging Chen Hui, Liu Xu wanted to sit beside him.

But when Chen Hui sat down, Liu Xu realised that he was too short, sitting there, with his head reaching the height of a table.

Thinking about it again, he felt that it wasn't very appropriate to let Chen Hui, a child, sit on a chair. She picked him up and let him sit on her lap.

Chen Hui was startled, although he felt comfortable leaning on Liu Xu's soft body. However, this standard posture of a child made him feel very uncomfortable. He struggled to get off Liu Xu's body.

Liu Xu hurriedly held him down, slightly frowned and said, "Little guy, don't move. If you fall down, it will hurt a lot."

However, Chen Hui did not care about her, he did not understand what Liu Xu said and only wanted to get off of her.

He struggled for a long time, but unfortunately, his strength wasn't as strong as Liu Xu, so he couldn't get off her body.

Moreover, he was a bit afraid of struggling too much and falling off her body.

After all, this position was still very high for a child like him. If he were to fall, it would inevitably cause problems.

Curling his lips, in the end, Chen Hui could only give up struggling.

Seeing that Chen Hui had finally obeyed, Liu Xu smiled slightly, gently stroking his head and said gently: "That's right, little guy, you don't have to be so afraid, big sis will not hurt you."

"I wonder what he's talking about …" Curling his lips, Chen Hui angrily leaned his body against hers.

Liu Xu's body was soft and there was also a faintly discernible fragrance which made him feel especially comfortable.

This double enjoyment also made Chen Hui feel more at ease sitting on Liu Xu's leg, leaning on her body and comfortably narrowing his eyes.

Jing Xin sat in front of them, blinking his eyes, he curiously looked at Chen Hui for a long time, then looked at Liu Xu, a surprised expression sweeping across his face: "Eh? "Miss, why do I think this child resembles you?"

"Oh? Is that so? Maybe it's because he's cute. " Liu Xu smiled carelessly, then lowered her head and asked, "Little guy, are you hungry?" What do you want to eat? "

Chen Hui saw Liu Xu talking to him, he raised his head, and looked straight into her eyes, the smile in her eyes caused him to be a little confused: "All day long, I've been smiling, it's weird, I don't know what I'm talking about."

Seeing Chen Hui's silly look, Jing Xin could not help but ask suspiciously, "Miss, is there something wrong with this child's head?"

Liu Xu also had a trace of suspicion in her heart, but after closer inspection, she found that Chen Hui was looking at her, seemingly pondering over something. He didn't look like he had any problems, so he said, "What a strange kid."

Chen Hui didn't know that Jing Xin had doubted his intelligence, but he was thinking of another question.

"Why did this big sister bring me here? Did he want to treat me to a meal? But it's not even time for dinner. Dinner? Crap! It's almost noon, if I don't go back now, I will be discovered even if I don't get any attention. At that time, won't it be even harder for me to think of it? " Thinking about it here, Chen Hui started to worry, and inwardly, he was wondering how he could get rid of this Liu Xu who acted on her own accord.

Then the departing waitress came back with a pot of tea in her right hand and a menu in her left, pushing the door open.

Just as the waitress was about to pour the tea, Liu Xu raised her hand to stop her and said, "Here's your best tea."

"Alright, then please take a look at what you need first." The waitress nodded, put down the menu, turned around and left.

Opening the menu, Liu Xu stood in front of Chen Hui, and gently asked: "Little guy, order whatever you like, big sister will treat you."

Chen Hui looked at her suspiciously and thought, "She wouldn't want me to order, right? But I don't know a word, how can I? There's no picture here either. "

After hesitating for a moment, he pointed a finger at a line of words.

Liu Xu glanced at it, then shook her head in amusement, "Little guy, you want to drink at such a young age? No, this isn't something you can drink. How about I order a jug of land dragon milk for you? "It's very fragrant and delicious."

Chen Hui looked up and saw Liu Xu shake her head at him, she even talked a lot, and muttered in her heart: "Could it be that I think my order is too expensive?"

Thus, he flipped to the next page, stretched out his finger, and tapped on a line of words.

Liu Xu helplessly shook her head again and said, "Child, that's wine, you're still too young, you really can't drink, let's not drink anymore, okay?" Shall we order? "

Seeing her shake her head and say something he didn't understand, Chen Hui's doubt grew deeper, "Could it be that it's still too expensive? You brought me here to eat if you think it's too expensive, are you messing with me? "

Inwardly, he could not help but feel a little angry. Thus, he flipped to another page and tentatively pointed to a line of words that looked like the name of a dish.

Jing Xin stretched out his neck to take a look, then said with a smile: "Miss, this child can't be an alcoholic, right?"

Liu Xu glared at her, thinking, "You want to drink so much at such a young age?" "That won't do!"

Therefore, she looked at Chen Hui very seriously while shaking her head and saying, "Child, the wine is very bitter and hard to drink. Why don't we have a jug of land dragon milk? The land dragon milk is very fragrant and delicious. "

Seeing Liu Xu shake his head, Chen Hui was enraged in his heart, "You brought me here to eat without money? Are you messing with me?! "

Curling his lips, Chen Hui struggled to get off the ground and leave the place.

Seeing this, Liu Xu hurriedly coaxed, "Alright, alright, alright, let's drink. Don't be angry, sister will let them serve you wine."

Seeing Liu Xu's flustered look, Jing Xin covered his mouth and chuckled, and thought to himself, "It has always been someone else trying to please the young miss, when have I ever seen the young miss with such a good temper? Today, the young mistress was actually so good-natured as to coax a child. This is really strange. How come Miss doesn't have any temper when facing this child? "Does she like children that much?"

Chen Hui saw Liu Xu smile and nodded at him, and said something, and thought, "Did I misunderstand? "What does that mean?"

Thinking about this, he became quiet again, wanting to see what Liu Xu actually wanted to do.

Seeing Chen Hui becoming quiet again, Liu Xu heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, secretly wiping the sweat off her forehead, she thought: "Children are really hard to coax, why is coaxing children even harder than practicing a set of martial skills?"

At this time, the waitress came in with another pot of tea. She poured a cup for Liu Xu and instantly, the room was filled with fragrance.

Chen Hui couldn't help but want to taste the aroma, but his hands were too short to reach the teacup.

"Kid, do you want some? "Wait a moment, the tea is too hot. Big sister will cool it down for you."

Chen Hui was startled for a moment, thinking that she did not intend to give him any to drink, he deaf and drooped his head as he started to breathe again, "What kind of person is this, bringing me here, this is not allowed, and not allowed to drink, could it be that you want me to have a look at this eye addiction?"

However, just as he mumbled to himself, Liu Xu put the teacup next to his mouth.

Chen Hui's eyes lit up, he immediately understood what was going on. Raising his head, he looked at her, then brought his mouth over to take a sip of tea, but to be honest, the taste of the tea was too bitter for his child's body. The strong bitter taste of the tea made Chen Hui's tongue go numb, and he could not help but stick out his tongue in an attempt to dispel the bitter taste.

"What is it? Hot? Why are you in such a hurry? Look, it's hot to the tongue, isn't it? "

Seeing him stick out his tongue after taking a sip, Liu Xu smiled slightly, and then finished the rest of the tea in one gulp. Seeing her actions, Chen Hui's face immediately turned hot.

Jing Xin sat on the opposite side and saw Chen Hui blushing, he said in shock: "Miss, this child is blushing, is he shy?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can such a young child be shy? Maybe the tea is too hot. " Liu Xu rolled her eyes at Jing Xin and said.

Glancing at the waitress at the side, Liu Xu remembered that she hadn't ordered anything yet. Without even looking at the menu, she said, "Bring up all the signature dishes here."

The waitress hesitated for a moment, then said with some hesitation, "This restaurant has 18 signature dishes, are they all served?"

"Pick up the best five and bring them up." Liu Xu said.

"Alright, I'll go and make the order for you now." The waitress said softly. Just as she picked up the menu on the table and was about to leave, Liu Xu called out to her, "Wait, give me another bottle of Luminary Milk."

"Yes!" The female attendant acknowledged and left.

Seeing the female attendant leave, Liu Xu could not help but lower her head and look at Chen Hui anxiously, only to see that he did not have any reaction to her words, and was frowning while spitting out his small tongue, as though he was in pain.

Suddenly, Liu Xu let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Looking at his cute actions, she felt that it was a bit funny, "Little guy, do you think that tea is very bitter? "That's true. This is something that adults drink. How could a child like you get used to it?"

"Miss, didn't you promise to give him some wine?" Why did it become breast milk? " Jing Xin covered his mouth and chuckled.

Liu Xu stared at her and said, "He doesn't know anything, and you don't know anything either?" How can such a young child drink? " As he said that, he glanced at Chen Hui. Seeing that he seemed to not have noticed their conversation, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ha …" What kind of lousy thing is this? It's so bitter … Is there nothing sweet for me to neutralize? " Chen Hui stuck out his tongue and muttered.

Liu Xu could faintly hear what Chen Hui was saying, but he could not really hear it clearly. She could not help but ask curiously, "Child, what did you just say?"

Chen Hui was suddenly shocked in his heart: "This is bad! He had accidentally spoken his mind! Did she hear me? If she had heard me speak Mandarin, wouldn't she have treated me as a monster? "

Therefore, Chen Hui once again pretended to be confused and looked at Liu Xu, as if he did not know what she was saying.

Seeing that, Liu Xu asked Jing Xin suspiciously: "Did you hear it earlier?"

"Miss, what did you hear?" Jing Xin asked in confusion.

Scratching her head, Liu Xu frowned and said, "Nothing."

Just then, an aroma wafted in from outside the door, and a few female attendants carried their dishes in. Under Chen Hui's curious gaze, they placed them on the table one by one.

The jade plates were filled with delicacies and the fragrance filled the air. The dishes on the table were so delicious that anyone who saw it would be tempted to eat. After placing the dishes on the table, the waitress put on a pot of thick Earth Dragon milk and a crystal cup before closing the door.

Seeing the thick earth dragon milk inside the crystal jade pot in front of him, Chen Hui was a little confused as he looked at Liu Xu, "This is …" Milk? But is milk so thick? "

Seeing Chen Hui looking at her, Liu Xu thought that he recognized that it was not wine, so she quickly explained: "Child, don't look at this pot of wine that looks like milk, but it really is wine, look."

He poured himself a glass of wine and said. "Hm ~ Good wine, it's very delicious."

"Heh …" Seeing that, Jing Xin could not help but chuckle, Liu Xu stared at her, poured a cup for Chen Hui and said: "Drink it."

Seeing Liu Xu's expectant expression, even if she did not want to drink this thing that clearly belonged to a child, Chen Hui still hesitantly drank this cup of Earth Dragon's milk.

There was a faint fishy smell in his mouth, but it was also sweet and tasty. It instantly diluted the bitter taste in his mouth.

Faintly, there was a warm feeling flowing through his body. This wondrous taste and feeling immediately made him fall in love with it.

He reached out to grab the crystal jug of land dragon milk for another cup for himself.

Seeing that Chen Hui liked it, she extended her hand to take it.

Liu Xu secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart, at the same time, she pressed her hand on his hand, reached out and poured another cup for him, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and gave him a piece of grilled golden grilled beast meat, dipped in sauce, and placed it next to his mouth.

After drinking a mouthful of milk, Chen Hui looked at the roasted beast in front of him and hesitated for a moment before eating it.
