I Raised A Sick And Weak Prince
Chapter 72
Unlike Lu Huan's Yan Dynasty, where they could go to a rouge shop, watch flower shows, and play river lanterns on dates, modern couples' dates were nothing more than eating, watching movies, and watching KTV. It was extremely boring.
Usually, when her classmates asked Su Xi out to do these things, Su Xi was not interested. She felt that it was better to stay at home and sleep in.
But now she knew that it was not that these things were too boring, but that the people who played together were too common. It was like eating white rice every day. It was fine if they got along with each other every day in school, but how could they be interested in meeting each other during the holidays?
But doing something with the person she liked was a completely different feeling.
Su Xi pulled Lu Huan to the mall. In front of the escalator, the two stopped.
Although Lu Zhuan had spent half a year studying modern civilization, he didn't have enough time. He had only scanned the things in the building in a hurry. He hadn't carefully studied the escalator that could carry people up slowly.
He could not help but step on it with one foot. After a few seconds, his other foot also stepped on it.
He raised his eyebrows and was interested in the kinetic energy of the escalator.
Su Xi just looked at him and felt that he was cute. She felt that he was watching with great interest.
How could she be bored?
She only hated that there was not enough time. He had to go back to work in the Yan Dynasty and could not go to school with her.
Probably because it was a workday, there were not many people in the mall. But wherever the two passed, the receptionist and customers could not help but look at Lu Huan and Su Xi.
They only felt that the two of them were like cranes in a flock of chickens. The boy was tall and handsome, and the girl was white and cute. They attracted a lot of attention when they stood together.
Although the boy's long hair under his cap was a bit out of place, for some reason, the girl stood beside him with her eyes curved, which miraculously neutralized this sense of abruptness.
The escalator went up. Su Xi and Lu Huan walked side by side to a tea shop.
Su Xi wanted to let Lu Huan, who came from ancient times, have a taste of her modern delicacies. The first major feature was, of course, all kinds of delicious milk tea.
The people walking in front of them looked like a couple from school. The two of them were much more clingy, and they were even wearing matching hoodies.
Lu Huan raised his hand and pressed down the brim of his hat. He stared at the two people's clothes for a while, then glanced at Su Xi. His eyes flashed with doubt. There was actually such a thing?
After all, in the Yan Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between men and women. There had never been a case where men and women wore the same clothes.
Su Xi was amused by his curious eyes and couldn't help but lean closer to him. Then, she turned her head and pretended as if nothing had happened … and hugged his arm.
After confirming their relationship, holding hands and hugging should have been a very natural thing. However, both of them were inexperienced newbies, so when they did it for the first time, everything seemed to be in slow motion.
At this moment, the smells in the air, the shops they passed by, and the clothes they wore all became vivid memories.
"…" Lu Huan moved his hands and feet at the same time, then tried to walk normally again.
His heart thumped non-stop in his chest and eardrums. Just now at home, Su Xi suddenly threw herself at him and hugged him. It was just a hug, but he had already spent a lot of time calming down. Now, Su Xi was holding his arm with both hands like a koala holding a bamboo stick. Maybe, probably — it should be for a long time?
Lu Huan's slender fingers hung by his side. He squeezed them nervously. Tremors and joy reached the top of his head along with his blood, like an electric current.
He coughed and tried to make himself more natural.
It was just that his four limbs, which were usually very balanced and could ride a horse and lead troops, and could pull a longbow, were a little out of place. He couldn't walk very smoothly.
And … the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Su Xi was also a little nervous. After all, they were in public.
But because of His Highness Ninth Prince, who was beside her, there was too much red tape. He clearly wanted to be closer to her. He wanted to go crazy, but he kept holding back. If she didn't take the initiative, when would she be able to shake hands like other couples?
She had no experience, but even if she was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, she had to pretend that she was very skilled.
So she hugged Lu Huan's arm even tighter.
Lu Huan's arm hurt a little from being pinched, but his dark eyes were very bright, and his heart was as bright as the sun.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. Their ears were red, and they tried to pretend that it was very natural as they walked into the milk tea shop.
Su Xi pointed to a few signature drinks, corresponding them to the pictures, and introduced them to Lu Huan, "This is a pearl, this is a coconut, and this is a milk cap. They are all things that can be added to milk tea.
Milk tea is not exactly milk plus tea. In short, you can understand it as a drink with a special seasoning technique.
What do you want to drink? There are many pictures on the menu. Take a look. "
Lu Huan looked at her, "What do you want to drink?"
Su Xi said without hesitation, "Domineering Cheese Strawberry." This was the only drink that she would never get tired of.
Lu Huan turned to the waiter and said, "Two cups of Domineering Cheese Strawberry. One cup is low sugar and no ice, and the other is whatever you want. Thank you."
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh. He had been in this world for so long that he had even learned how to order milk tea.
The two waiter were both boys. They looked up at him and were a little surprised by his height of about 1.85 meters — in fact, this height wasn't considered abrupt. After all, in modern times, there were a lot of tall boys with good nutrition.
But maybe it was because the boy in a black sweater and a cap outside the counter had a particularly straight back. He had an indescribable temperament that made people feel that he was exceptionally tall. And although his expression was gentle and his eyes were smiling, when he stood there, there was an invisible sense of oppression.
The two waiter handed the receipt to Su Xi. Before she could react, Lu Huan pulled Su Xi to a corner and sat down.
Because there weren't many people, two cups of Domineering Cheese Strawberry were ready very quickly.
Lu Huan went to get it.
"This is a straw," Su Xi taught him patiently.
Even if Lu Huan hadn't seen these details before, he could still understand it when he saw it for the first time.
With his slender, white, and well-defined fingers, he took off the white paper cover of the straw in front of Su Xi and neatly inserted it into the cup of low-sugar and ice-free Domineering Cheese Strawberry drink. He then handed it to her and sighed, "Technology changes life."
Su Xi lazily rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. "Ah."
Lu Huan handed it to her mouth.
Su Xi took a sip and his eyes curved into crescents.
Although Su Xi was the one who was well served, Lu Huan looked even happier than her. He was in high spirits, as if he couldn't wait to rush to the counter, buy another thousand cups, and put the straw in her cup one by one.
"Drink it quickly." Su Xi took her cup and egged him on.
Only then did Lu Huan take a bite.
Su Xi looked at him expectantly and asked, "How is it?"
"It's my first time tasting it. It's a little sweet and not fruity." Lu Huan commented, "But I like it very much."
Su Xi said happily, "I don't think you can drink anymore. I'll take you to try something else next time. Also, we have a lot of delicious food and drinks here. There's also hot pot, barbecue, sushi, and buffet. You haven't eaten any of them, right? You can try them one by one."
These were all novel things for Lu Huan, but he had never had much desire for delicious food, so when he heard these things, his expression remained the same. He just liked to do things with Su Xi, no matter what they were doing.
Su Xi herself was a little greedy. She looked at Lu Huan looking at her with a bright smile and wiped the corners of her mouth a little embarrassedly.
Su Xi used to snort when she heard people say that they would feel happy no matter what small things they did when they were in a relationship. But now she realized that it was true.
Going to the mall to buy a cup of milk tea and sit down to drink was originally a very common thing, but because she was doing this with Lu Huan, no matter how ordinary it was, it made her feel very happy.
It was as if a reckless cat had taken up residence in her heart. When she looked at Lu Huan, she would use her tail to scratch her heart, making her heart itch. At other times, she would lie lazily in a puddle, making her feel satisfied every minute and every second.
After drinking the milk tea, they originally planned to watch a movie, but Su Xi saw that there weren't any good movies being released today, so she canceled this plan. Anyway, when a good movie was released, she could still drag Lu Huan over from that world.
So the two strolled back.
Along the way, Su Xi could introduce various city buildings, art galleries, handicraft shops, sidewalks, traffic lights, and so on to Lu Huan.
Last time, Lu Huan came in a hurry and wasn't sure about the mechanism of transmigration, so Su Xi was in no mood to stroll around. But now that everything was settled and she knew that he could come to her world at any time, she became relaxed.
Lu Huan was the same. Although he still didn't fit in with this world and didn't know many love skills, when he saw the car flying past, he subconsciously walked to the side closest to the car, protecting Su Xi on the inside.
When they arrived at a place with green belts, he took Su Xi to walk inside.
These were things that he had learned on his own.
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the sky was blue and cloudless, and the weather was cool and not hot. It was just right, but it was easy to feel tired after walking for a while.
Lu Huan couldn't help but stop and turn to look at Su Xi. Su Xi took a sip of the unfinished strawberry milk tea and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's still some distance from home. Do you want me to carry you?" Although it was a question, Lu Huan's ears were slightly red, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
He had wanted to do this for a long time. When Su Xi asked him to do push-ups in the other world, he already wanted to do it.
Later, he found out that he had never carried Su Xi on his back before. At that time, it was only one of Su Xi's fingers that was pressing on his back. In Su Xi's eyes, he was still a dwarf with short arms and legs …
Just thinking about it made Lu Huan feel a little exhausted.
He tried his best not to think about these embarrassing things. Before Su Xi could react, he hugged her waist and lifted her up to put her on the steps of the green belt. Then, he turned around and squatted down in front of her, maintaining a calm and composed horse stance.
Lu Huan insisted on carrying her, so she'd rather obey than decline respectfully.
Su Xi giggled and jumped onto his back. "Catch me!"
She jumped on. Her weight wasn't light, but Lu Huan's lower body was very stable. He didn't even sway. He held her knees with both hands and carried her steadily on his back.
Then, the young man strode forward as if he was flying.
As if to prove something, he walked very quickly and steadily.
Su Xi held the drink and his hat. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck. His neck stiffened, and his breathing stopped for a second. Then, as if he had reached a goal, he slowed down slightly.
Su Xi lay on his back and laughed out loud.
He didn't succeed in showing off "speed, strength, and movement" during the push-ups. He definitely had to find a way to show off back. It was the familiar arrogant boy formula.
"What are you laughing at?" Lu Huan's ears couldn't help but turn red when he heard Su Xi's laughter.
Could it be that she found out that he had learned this trick from the soap operas she watched?
He saw those men riding motorcycles so fast that the women behind them could hug their waists.
He remembered it in his heart.
Su Xi hugged his neck and used her free hand to pinch his red ears. She laughed and said, "Nothing, I just think you're cute."
Lu Huan wasn't happy. "How can a nine-foot-tall man be described as' cute '?"
It was better to describe him as' handsome 'like before. The word' cute 'was too effeminate. He didn't like to hear it.
"It's good enough that I'm praising you. Why are you still being so picky?"
Su Xi smiled and said, "Didn't you just learn how to use Baidu? Go to Baidu. If a girl describes a boy as cute, what does it mean?"
Lu Huan held Su Xi's legs with one hand and freed his other hand. He took out the new phone he just bought and Baidu blankly.
He learned very quickly. It was his first time using a phone, so it was very difficult to type. But now, his typing speed could compete with middle-aged and old people.
After he practiced, he should be able to become as fast as Huo Jingchuan and the others.
He clumsily pressed the phone and checked.
He saw that Baidu said:
"Describing a person as cute usually means that you like that person very, very much. You like that person to the extreme."
When Lu Huan saw this line of words, his heart rumbled. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
He blushed and was excited. He thought for a while and slowed down his footsteps.
In the end, he stood in place and turned his head slightly. He said to Su Xi behind him in a very serious tone, "But I think you're the cutest."
Su Xi thought that after the deer in her heart bumped for many days, she had already practiced the Iron Head Technique. But she was caught off guard when she saw his dark and gentle eyes. Lying on his shoulder, she felt his ear brush against her cheek …
The deer in her heart was still very heavy. Bang, bang, bang. Her face was bleeding.
At this moment, Su Xi thought in her heart, "God, I want to kiss him."
