Chapter 270 It rains heavily during Qingming Festival
"Ah? Oh... yes, of course!" Lu Yuanqiu seemed to come back to his senses, and put his eyes back on her face, smiling and said, "That's great! It's perfect!"
Bai Qingxia pouted her lips in disapproval, but in fact she lowered her head and looked at the skirt carefully.
She pulled the hem of her skirt, looked left and right, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on her face.
She hadn't bought a skirt for a long time. It seemed that she hadn't bought one since she was eight years old, or maybe nine, she couldn't remember clearly.
But even she could not deny that her whole temperament was completely changed after putting on the skirt.
"Hiss..." Bai Qingxia suddenly shuddered, hugging her body.
"It's cold, right? If you like this one, buy it and wear it when it gets warmer."
Bai Qingxia nodded and walked into the corner to change her clothes.
When she changed her clothes and was about to pay the boss, Lu Yuanqiu suddenly grabbed a plastic bag and rushed out of the store with her. The boss, who was eating melon seeds, was stunned and blinked when he saw this scene.
"No...I haven't paid yet!" Bai Qingxia said in panic.
"It's okay, run away! He can't catch up with us!"
Lu Yuanqiu held the girl's hand, laughed and turned back to shout at her.
Bai Qingxia followed behind him, confused for a moment, and suddenly understood: "Have you paid?"
Lu Yuanqiu quickly stopped to look at her, and couldn't help laughing and said, "How smart! I thought you would be so scared that you would go back to pay."
Bai Qingxia: "Because you won't be like that."
Seeing that he was still trying to hold back his laughter, Bai Qingxia was speechless. She walked up to Lu Yuanqiu and lightly kicked him on the calf, scolding him, "Is this fun?"
Lu Yuanqiu shook his head honestly: "Not fun..."
Bai Qingxia glanced at him unhappily, lowered her head and took out money from her pocket, and asked him, "How much?"
"It's just a few dozen dollars, not expensive. Consider it a gift from me to you. I like seeing you wear this dress. It's pretty and beautiful." Lu Yuanqiu put the money down from her hand.
Bai Qingxia paused for a moment, put the money in her hand in her hand, hesitated for a moment and said to him: "Okay, thank you..."
Lu Yuanqiu took the white dress from her hand and put it into the packaging bag, then said to her, "Let's go buy another one."
"Still buying?!" Bai Qingxia's voice broke.
"One piece is not enough."
Lu Yuanqiu dragged her to another store forcefully, muttering, "I've already saved up enough money for you to buy another skirt, but you're still unwilling to give. You're such a stingy person, you don't even want to spend a penny."
Bai Qingxia muttered, "I'm not a stingy person... I just think one beautiful dress is enough. I only need to wear it occasionally on important occasions."
Lu Yuanqiu: "No, I want you to be beautiful all the time in your daily life. I will protect you. From now on, being beautiful will be your advantage. Why hide it?"
Bai Qingxia did not respond. Her arm was pulled straight forward by Lu Yuanqiu. She looked at the young man walking in front of her with a swagger, her expression dazed, but the next second she couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth.
Lu Yuanqiu turned around at this time, and Bai Qingxia's mouth corners immediately smoothed out, and her beautiful watery eyes looked at him unnaturally: "What's wrong?"
The young man was silent for a moment and then said, "The day after tomorrow, Qingming Festival, are you going to visit Aunt Luo and Brother Ruo'an? Where are they buried?"
Bai Qingxia lowered her head: "Over there in the redwood garden."
Lu Yuanqiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I may have to go back to my hometown in Guo County that day. Can you wait for me? I want to accompany you. When I come back in the afternoon, I will accompany you to the redwood garden."
Bai Qingxia smiled and said, "Okay."
"it is good."
The next night, at Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket, Lu Tian and Lu Yuanqiu each brought a stack of yellow paper from outside and walked into the supermarket. Bai Qingxia, wearing a red vest, came out, took a look, and then hurried out to help them move the remaining yellow paper in.
"Have you studied today?" Bai Qingxia asked habitually as she passed by Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu: "Yes, I did two sets of comprehensive science exams today. I am exhausted."
Bai Qingxia smiled at him but said nothing.
"It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival..." Lu Tian stood inside the door, looking at the scene outside the supermarket, and suddenly murmured this sentence.
"I rely on..."
Lu Yuanqiu stood at the door with his hands on his hips, looked up and said, "No way, the rain is coming so suddenly."
"It's raining and we have to go back tomorrow. Hurry up and move your uncles' copies in. Don't let them get wet."
Lu Yuanqiu: "Oh."
Bai Qingxia hurriedly followed him.
While moving things, Lu Yuanqiu complained to her, "I'm going to have to step on mud again when I get home this time... I'll wait for you at the entrance of the alley tomorrow? How about one in the afternoon?"
Bai Qingxia nodded: "Okay."
Lu Tian glanced at the girl, sighed silently, and shook his head as he recited the last line of the poem: "The pedestrians on the road are about to die~"
Lu Yuanqiu glanced at his father and said in shock: "A great writer!"
The next afternoon.
After changing into new clothes at home, Lu Yuanqiu took two bouquets of flowers, called a taxi and came to the entrance of Guihua Lane.
Bai Qingxia and her father had already stood on the roadside at the agreed time. The father and daughter held umbrellas and stood quietly under the drizzling rain.
Lu Yuanqiu opened the car door and waved to them: "Come on! Get in the car!"
Bai Qingxia hesitated and shouted to him from across the street: "...Let's take the bus!"
"Okay, that's fine." Lu Yuanqiu paid the money and got out of the car. The redwood garden was far away, and Bai Qingxia probably thought the taxi fare was too expensive.
Seeing the boy get off the car, Bai Qingxia hurriedly held an umbrella and held his father's hand across the road.
"Don't you have an umbrella?"
She held up the umbrella for her father and Lu Yuanqiu, with her back half soaked in the rain.
"I left in a hurry and forgot to bring it. You can talk to uncle. I didn't change my clothes and I need to change when I get home." Lu Yuanqiu said as he pushed the umbrella back towards the father and daughter, then raised one hand to block the two bouquets of flowers in front of him and smiled at them.
Bai Qingxia looked down and found that there was clearly no mud on Lu Yuanqiu's legs and shoes, but she didn't say anything. As the three of them walked towards the bus stop, she deliberately tilted the umbrella towards Lu Yuanqiu.
After getting on the bus, the three of them went to the back row. Bai Qingxia and her father sat in the front, and Lu Yuanqiu sat in the row behind them.
He leaned against the car window, lowered his head and arranged the flower petals in his arms with careful movements.
Raindrops crawled on the car window glass like long transparent lines, making the scenery outside a little blurry. Lu Yuanqiu could only see the dark green trees constantly passing by his eyes.
The atmosphere was a little silent, and none of the three spoke. Bai Qingxia occasionally took out toilet paper to wipe the water droplets on her father's face, then took out another piece of toilet paper and turned around to hand it to Lu Yuanqiu.
Lu Yuanqiu: "I don't need it. I have to shower later."
Bai Qingxia insisted on putting the paper in his hand, then stood up and closed the glass gap next to Lu Yuanqiu.
