Chapter 733 - 733 Help
733 Help
Hu Changshou scooped out the vegetables and went to get a basin to scoop out the fragrant stewed chicken. He served them one by one.
Bai Xu sat upright and could not help but swallow her saliva.
Hu Changshou smiled gently and said, “You can eat now.”
Bai Xu immediately picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She had already digested her lunch after sleeping for a while. Looking at the fragrant food now, she felt very hungry.
Hu Changshou’s culinary skills were really good. The chicken was fragrant and flavorful, and the rich soup was poured over the rice. It was really too fragrant.
She had already eaten a drumstick and the aftertaste was delicious.
There was also a drumstick on the plate. She thought that it was for Hu Changshou, so she avoided the drumstick when she picked up other food.
Hu Changshou placed the drumstick into Bai Xu’s bowl and said, “There’s another drumstick. Why aren’t you eating it? I don’t like drumsticks.”
It was just a small gesture, but Bai Xu’s nose and eyes were sore and hot. She choked slightly. “Why are you so good to me? I didn’t treat you well previously.”
Bai Xu’s tears fell. She looked up at Hu Changshou.
“Miss Bai Xu, don’t feel burdened. I-I don’t know why either. I just feel that you’re very similar to me.”
Hu Changshou was a little flustered. The only time he had seen a woman cry was when his sister got married.
At that time, he was very reluctant. The feeling of separation made him feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Bai Xu cry now, he did not feel good either.
“Don’t cry.”
Hu Changshou was not good at comforting people. He reached out to wipe Bai Xu’s tears, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
Bai Xu shed some tears and smiled again. She wiped her tears and did not say anything else. She picked up the drumstick and ate it in big mouthfuls.
After dinner, Bai Xu took the initiative to wash the dishes. She said to Hu Changshou, “Since you’ve already cooked, leave the dishes to me.”
Bai Xu washed the dishes and asked Hu Changshou, “Hu Changshou, where is that Young Master Su from? Where is he now? I met him once before. I still have something to tell him.”
Bai Xu decided that her next goal was to find Su Xiaolu and apologize.
“You’re looking for Xiaolu? He’s in the capital. Why are you looking for him?”
Hu Changshou asked in surprise.
“I owe him a thank-you. If it’s convenient, can you ask him out? I want to thank him myself.”
Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou with a smile and said seriously.
Hu Changshou recalled that Bai Xu had said that she had only met three good people in her life. One of them was Su Xiaolu. Bai Xu had come to the capital, and Su Xiaolu had not left the capital yet. Hu Changshou nodded. “Alright, I’ll go over. Wait for me.”
Bai Xu smiled. “Thank you.”
Hu Changshou went out while Bai Xu returned to her room to rest.
Hu Changshou arrived at the Su residence.
The first to see him was Su Hua. Su Hua patted his shoulder. “How is it? Do you want to drink with me?”
Hu Changshou was stunned. He smiled and shook his head. “Thank you, Second Brother, but there’s no need. I’m not here for that. I’m here for Xiaolu.”
He had fought for himself and had no regrets. The emptiness in his heart was gone now.
“Looking for Xiaolu. Wait a moment.”
Seeing that Hu Changshou’s expression was calm, Su Hua was relieved.
Su Hua asked the servant to call Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu arrived quickly.
When Su Xiaolu arrived, Su Hua left.
Hu Changshou smiled at Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Do you know a girl called Bai Xu?”
Hu Changshou mentioned Bai Xu.
Su Xiaolu immediately remembered. She nodded. “Yes.”
Bai Xu was unreasonable and ruthless. She did not care about the lives of others. Even if she was injured, she would not deal with it. She was distant and cold. Like her Grandma, her temper was especially strange. She had a deep impression of her.
“She wants to see you.”
Hu Changshou voiced Bai Xu’s request.
Su Xiaolu pursed her lips. After pondering for a moment, she asked, “Why does she want to see me? Cousin, are you very familiar with her?”
Su Xiaolu could not understand why Bai Xu wanted to see her.
And when did Hu Changshou meet Bai Xu? They looked quite close.
“I don’t know why she wants to see you either. It might have something to do with her recent experiences. Xiaolu, I didn’t tell you. Actually, last year in the foreign land, when I was injured and couldn’t move, it was Bai Xu who took care of me. It was also a coincidence that I met her…”
Hu Changshou had never told anyone about his experience when he entered the mountain alone.
Bai Xu asked him for help, and he wanted to help her.
When Su Xiaolu asked about the reason, he did not hide anything. He told Su Xiaolu how he met Bai Xu and how he was poisoned.
Including her encounter with Bai Xu today, she told Su Xiaolu everything.
“Xiaolu, can you see her?”
After saying that, Hu Changshou looked at Su Xiaolu expectantly.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Sure, is tomorrow noon okay?”
Hu Changshou smiled and nodded. “Sure.”
Hu Changshou and Bai Xu became friends. He had saved Bai Xu and Bai Xu had also saved him. Fate works wonders.
Su Xiaolu thought about her impression of Bai Xu and still felt that it was unbelievable that Bai Xu would save Hu Changshou.
She still knew too little about Bai Xu. It was fine to meet her, so Su Xiaolu agreed.
Su Xiaolu agreed. After the two of them agreed on a place, Hu Changshou stood up and left.
When Hu Changshou returned home, he thought that Bai Xu should still be awake. Hu Changshou shouted into the house, “Miss Bai Xu, Xiaolu has agreed. I’ll bring you over tomorrow at noon.”
Bai Xu replied from inside the house, “Okay, thank you, Hu Changshou.”
At Hu Changshou’s house, Bai Xu let down her guard and was not woken up by any movements at night. When she woke up the next day, the sky was already bright. She found it a little unbelievable. During this period of time, no matter where she was, it was difficult for her to fall asleep. If there was any movement at night, she would wake up several times.
But not last night.
Bai Xu got up and Hu Changshou cooked porridge. The two of them ate together and Bai Xu returned to her room to clean up.
Thinking that she was going to see Su Xiaolu, Bai Xu tidied up and combed her hair. Hu Changshou looked at her and was stunned. “You-”
Bai Xu interrupted in embarrassment. “What about me?”
Hu Changshou looked away and said calmly, “Nothing. It’s okay. Let’s go.”
Bai Xu had dressed up meticulously. Hu Changshou felt a little strange, but this was Bai Xu’s business, so he could not ask too much. He brought Bai Xu to the teahouse he had arranged with Su Xiaolu.
They arrived first, so they had to wait for a while. When it was almost time, Su Xiaolu pushed open the door and came in.
“Cousin, when did you come? I’m not late, am I?” Su Xiaolu said with a smile. Her gaze landed on Bai Xu.
Hu Changshou shook his head. “I’m not late.”
Bai Xu’s mouth was already agape as she said in disbelief, “You, you’re a girl???”
