Chapter 732 - 732 Take In
732 Take In
He looked unhappy. He must have encountered something bad like her.
She actually didn’t have much of a relationship with him. Hu Changshou might not even remember her, so when he passed by, he didn’t see her or greet her.
She probably shouldn’t have greeted him either. She just looked at his back. For some reason, she wanted to talk to him, just like a few months ago.
So she turned back and saw him coming at her again. She didn’t hesitate. She collided with him. Then she called out to him.
At this moment, after saying all these, not only did Bai Xu not feel relaxed, but he also felt even more depressed.
“Miss Bai Xu.”
Hu Changshou did not expect Bai Xu to encounter so many twists and turns. He sighed. Why did unlucky people always encounter more unlucky things?
“If you don’t mind, I have a small house in the capital. If you have nowhere to go in the capital, you can go to my place to rest.”
Hu Changshou invited Bai Xu. He did not know why he said that. By the time he came back to his senses, he had already said it.
Bai Xu was a woman. His invitation was really offensive and frivolous. Bai Xu might be angry.
However, in the next moment, Bai Xu looked up and smiled brightly. “Sure, I have nowhere to go. Thank you.”
Hu Changshou did not expect Bai Xu to agree. Looking at her smile, Hu Changshou said, “Follow me.”
“Hu Changshou, do you have friends in the capital?”
On the way, Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou and asked.
Hu Changshou nodded. “A few.”
Bai Xu recalled that when she followed Hu Changshou in the foreign land, Hu Changshou already had many friends by his side. Even the Young Master Su she used to hate was there.
Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou and asked, “Hu Changshou, are you friends with Young Master Su too?”
Hu Changshou was stunned. “Young Master Su?”
He was confused and did not know who Bai Xu was talking about.
“The Young Master Su who’s very good at martial arts and looks about the same age as me. He has an old man and a middle-aged man by his side. They’re masters and disciple. He has two Masters.”
Bai Xu explained in more detail.
“You’re talking about Xiaolu, right?”
Hu Changshou reacted. Su Xiaolu was dressed as a man when she was outside. Bai Xu should be asking about her.
“Is his name Su Lu? Which Lu?”
Bai Xu did not know Su Xiaolu’s name. Her memory of Su Xiaolu was still from their meeting a year ago.
That experience had not been good at all, but she owed him a thank-you for his kindness to her.
If Hu Changshou could introduce her to him, she would thank him.
“Her name is Su Xiaolu. Lu as in the deer in the forest1.”
Hu Changshou glanced at Bai Xu and said.
Bai Xu lowered his eyes. Su Xiaolu. His name was not special at all.
“Are you friends with him?”
Bai Xu asked again.
Hu Changshou nodded. “Yes, we’re friends.”
They were also cousins.
Bai Xu did not ask further. She lowered her head and saw her tattered clothes. She was a woman, so she could not be too unpresentable.
Hu Changshou brought Bai Xu to his residence. It was a very small courtyard with two rooms.
Hu Changshou let Bai Xu stay in the room while he went to the kitchen to make a bed with chairs.
“Hu Changshou, thank you.”
Bai Xu looked at Hu Changshou. He was a good person, one of the few good people she had met.
“Hu Changshou, do you know? In my life, I’ve only met three good people. One is you, one is Su Xiaolu, and the other is the person who saved me in the foreign land.”
Ever since she was young, she had been guided by Grandma’s words. She knew that she was very annoying. She had met Su Xiaolu and Hu Changshou at her worst. She knew that they were good people.
She thought that she could make friends after she changed, so after coming out of the foreign land alone, she began to learn to be friendly to others, but in the end, all she got in return was evil karma. They lied to her and sold her.
Whether she was good or bad, she had only met three good people.
“Miss Bai Xu, you will meet more good people in the future.”
Hu Changshou did not know how to comfort Bai Xu. Bai Xu only used a few words to summarize her journey to the capital. Behind her words was a dangerous path.
Bai Xu smiled. “Thank you, I’m sleepy.”
Bai Xu closed the door and went to the bed to sleep.
What she didn’t tell Hu Changshou was that she hadn’t slept soundly in the past few months.
The days when Hu Changshou was infected by the snake poison and she lived with him were actually the soundest she had slept since she could remember.
Meeting him again in the capital, Bai Xu felt so relaxed and quickly fell asleep under the blanket.
Hu Changshou went out while Bai Xu was sleeping.
Bai Xu did not have anything on her. He was going out to buy two sets of clothes for Bai Xu to change into.
Perhaps it was because reuniting with Bai Xu had diluted his emotions, but when he thought of Chu Li again, he no longer had any emotions in his heart.
It was already afternoon when Hu Changshou returned after buying ready-made clothes. He boiled hot water for Bai Xu.
Bai Xu woke up and looked at the clean clothes and steaming bathtub beside her. She shouted to the door, “Hu Changshou, thank you.”
Bai Xu raised her hand and sniffed her body. Her face could not help but heat up.
During this period of time, she had been running for her life almost every day. Apart from her whip, there was nothing else on her body. She did not know how to sew, so her clothes could only remain torn.
She was also injured many times. The blood dried and more was stained, and in the end, it could not be washed away.
After changing out of her old clothes, she entered the bathtub to wash up. Looking at the various scars on her body, Bai Xu’s eyes darkened.
After washing up, Bai Xu opened the door. A fragrance wafted from the kitchen. Bai Xu could not help but walk over to take a look. Hu Changshou was cutting vegetables, and Bai Xu was a little dazed.
Hu Changshou sensed Bai Xu’s footsteps and looked towards the door. He smiled at Bai Xu and said, “We can eat after I finish stir-frying this cabbage.”
In the pot was stewed chicken.
Bai Xu walked in and asked shyly, “How can I help you?”
Bai Xu did not know how to cook. She had followed Grandma for more than ten years and had been in inns and farms for as long as she could remember. Grandma would give her money to eat.
And none of the farmers she had seen had men cooking.
Bai Xu was very surprised that Hu Changshou knew how to cook.
“Then get a bowl to scoop rice.”
Hu Changshou looked at Bai Xu. She looked confused and it was obvious that she did not know how to cook. Hu Changshou pointed at the cupboard at the side. It was not difficult to scoop rice.
Bai Xu went to get two bowls and chopsticks and scooped rice with a spatula. Some rice fell onto the stove and she glanced at Hu Changshou. Hu Changshou did not notice and Bai Xu immediately put it into the bowl. She carried the bowls over and sat down.
It was just a small thing, but her heart was beating so fast.
In a corner where Bai Xu could not see, Hu Changshou’s lips curled up slightly. He had seen Bai Xu’s actions just now from the corner of his eye and felt that it was a little cute.
