Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan left the Justice Department.
As they settled into the carriage, Yu Niaoniao was still thinking about Lo Pingsha.
She rubbed her chin in thought. “Little Lo is a person with a story.”
Xiao Juan said, “You always like to be curious about others.”
Yu Niaoniao snorted softly. “If you want to say that I’m nosy, just say it.”
Xiao Juan said, “Everyone has their own sore spots.”
Yu Niaoniao waved her small hand.
“Got it. I won’t ask about Little Lo’s past.”
She twisted away and peered through the window.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe afterglow of the setting sun landed on her face, illuminating it until it was white with a hint of red. Her eyes were sparkling like two dazzling black gems.
Xiao Juan stared at her profile.
She spent every day so carefree; she was like a small sun, radiating warmth.
Someone like her must have lived in a happy family atmosphere since she was young and had never experienced pain and torture.
Yu Niaoniao suddenly called out.
“Stop the car!”
The carriage pulled to the side of the road.
Xiao Juan asked, “What are you going to do?”
“I saw some hawthorns on the side of the road. I’ll get some. I’ll be back soon!”
After saying that, Yu Niaoniao jumped off the carriage and went straight to the hawker.
Xiao Juan originally wanted to follow, but when he thought of the fear the commoners had when they saw the Eagle Guards, he dispelled the thought of getting out of the carriage.
He looked out the carriage window. He saw Yu Niaoniao squatting in front of the stall. She reached into the wicker basket and flipped the contents twice, as if to determine the quality of the hawthorn.
Satisfied, Yu Niaoniao took out her money bag and gave the other party a small silver piece. Then, she pointed at the carriage where Xiao Juan was.
The vendor happily accepted the money, picked up two large baskets of hawthorn, and walked to the carriage.
When he saw the Eagle Guard uniform the coachman was wearing, his face turned pale and his legs went weak. He was so afraid that he could not walk steadily.
He had never expected that he would provoke a murderous Eagle Guard when he was just a hawker!
Yu Niaoniao did not make things difficult for him. She just asked him to put the hawthorn on the ground.
As if he had been pardoned, the stall owner immediately threw down the two baskets of hawthorns and ran away without even caring about the carrying pole.
Looking at his panicked expression, one would have thought a tiger was chasing him.
The coachman was not surprised.
He helped carry the two baskets of hawthorn to the carriage.
Yu Niaoniao followed him into the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe carriage, which was not very spacious to begin with, became even more crowded with the two baskets of hawthorn.
Yu Niaoniao had no choice but to sit beside Xiao Juan. Inevitably their arms touched.
Even through the fabric of her clothes, Xiao Juan could feel the girl’s soft arms and the faint fragrance on her body.
In order to prevent his imagination from running wild, he took the initiative to find a topic.
“Why did you buy so many hawthorns?”
Yu Niaoniao said, “The hawthorn can be an appetizer. It’s good for your body.”
Xiao Juan’s heart warmed. “I can’t eat so much.”
Yu Niaoniao smiled and said, “It’s okay. I can still make them into candied fruits. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten candied fruits. I’m very hungry.”
Xiao Juan had never eaten candied hawthorn before, so he did not know what kind of food this was.
He couldn’t help but look at the girl beside him. She always knew a lot about food that no one else had eaten. He wondered where she learned all this?
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Langjun Imperial Palace.
Dang Gui asked expectantly when she saw Yu Niaoniao bring back two large baskets of hawthorn.
“What delicious food are you cooking today, Miss?”
