Chapter 765 Su Wuming 64
Chu Huan took her hand back and smiled: "So, don't worry that I will fall in love with someone else. In this life, I will not marry anyone but you."
Su Wuming's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He was stunned for a long while before he stammered, "Really...really?"
Chu Hua smiled and nodded, her eyes moving like a clear spring, reflecting Su Wuming's slightly dull face.
Su Wuming was filled with ecstasy, as if a firework exploded in his chest, dazzling and brilliant. He grabbed Chu Huan's hand: "Huan'er...Huan'er..."
Chu Hua did not struggle when he held her hand, but just let him hold it tightly, with the smile on her lips growing deeper and deeper.
A sudden cough, like a sharp needle, punctured the sweet bubble between the two. The dry voice, with a hint of embarrassment, instantly brought Su Wuming back to reality from his deep love.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Lu Lingfeng had been standing at the door at some point, with his hands behind his back, moving his feet a little awkwardly, with embarrassment written all over his face.
Su Wuming then realized that his actions with Chu Hua were a little too intimate, and he quickly let go of Chu Hua's hand as if he had been electrocuted. His face suddenly turned red, like a ripe persimmon, from the base of his neck to the roots of his ears.
"Lu Lingfeng!" Su Wuming was a little angry and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Why are you eavesdropping on people's conversations?"
Lu Lingfeng crossed his arms, looked at Su Wuming and Chu Hua with a half-smile, and said slowly: "It's not like I'm the only one listening." He deliberately prolonged the last syllable, his eyes full of mockery.
At this time, several heads popped out from behind Lu Lingfeng one after another. Pei Xijun, Master Fei Ji, and even little Xue Huan were all looking at them with curiosity.
Su Wuming was even more embarrassed, and felt his face was about to burn. He stammered, "You...you...all heard it?"
Master Fei Ji came over with a wink, rubbing his hands and said, "Oh, Su Wuming, you finally got it! Congratulations!" His tone was like a matchmaker who had finally brought a couple together.
Pei Xijun covered his mouth and laughed secretly, with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
Little Xue Huan was the youngest, so he couldn't keep it to himself and shouted out, "Mr. Su, are you and Sister Chu Hua going to get married?"
Su Wuming's face turned red, and he subconsciously looked at Chu Hua. Chu Hua was very generous, and smiled and pinched Xue Huan's little face: "Little devil, do you know what marriage means?"
Xue Huan puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Of course I understand! Marriage means two people should be together forever."
Master Fei laughed loudly, pointed at Su Wuming and joked: "Su Wuming, did you hear that? Even a child can see it, why don't you hurry up and get married?"
Su Wuming was really speechless and could only cough awkwardly. He looked at Chu Hua for help, but she smiled with curved eyebrows, as if she was enjoying the atmosphere at the moment.
Pei Xijun came over, held Chu Hua's hand, and said softly, "Sister Chu Hua, congratulations! Sima Su is a rare good man, you must cherish him."
Chu Huanhui held Pei Xijun's hand and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Sister Xijun, I will."
Chu Hua held Su Wuming's hand, interlocking their fingers. Her hand was soft and warm, like a soft cloud, wrapping around Su Wuming's slightly rough hand.
Su Wuming's heart beat faster, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He secretly raised his eyes to look at Chu Hua, but saw that she was looking at him lovingly, her eyes full of tenderness and love.
The air around him seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop flowing. Su Wuming felt like he was in a beautiful dream and didn't want to wake up.
"Ahem!" Lu Lingfeng deliberately raised his voice, breaking the silence.
"Can you two hold back a little? There are children here!"
Su Wuming finally came back to his senses, and an embarrassed blush appeared on his face again.
Chu Hua did not shy away from it, but smiled generously and said, "Why? Are you jealous? Do you want to find a girl to shake hands with?"
Chu Hua winked at Xi Jun, and her playful look was just like a little fox that had eaten honey. Xi Jun was stunned at first, but then he reacted and his face flushed.
Lu Lingfeng rolled his eyes: "Forget it, I'm not as eager to get married as someone else."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Su Wuming.
Su Wuming felt even more embarrassed after being teased by Lu Lingfeng. He coughed lightly and tried to change the subject: "It's getting late, everyone should rest early."
……
The next morning, Su Wuming got up early, put on a brand new official uniform, and carefully tidied himself in front of the bronze mirror. Thinking of the scene of holding hands with Chu Hua yesterday, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and even his usually dull face had a little more spirit.
After breakfast, Su Wuming went straight to the governor's mansion.
Su Wuming explained his purpose to Governor Zhang, hoping that he could arrange a suitable position for Lu Lingfeng. When the Governor heard that it was someone recommended by Su Wuming, and that Lu Lingfeng was a close confidant of the Crown Prince, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and quickly agreed.
Finally, Governor Xiong asked Lu Lingfeng to temporarily take over the position of judicial officer.
……
"Judicial officer?! Su Wuming, do you think you are worthy of the court by doing such a thing?" When Lu Lingfeng heard the news, his eyes widened and he stared at Su Wuming in disbelief.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Why are you pretending to be confused? I am a criminal. Have you told Governor Xiong?" Lu Lingfeng almost shouted. He was impatient by nature and was even more furious at this moment.
Su Wuming still looked calm and took a sip of tea slowly before saying, "I really didn't say that."
Su Wuming explained that there were too many old case files piled up in the state and that they needed help to deal with them. He then reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions, and Lu Lingfeng reluctantly agreed.
But Lu Lingfeng put forward a condition: "I can temporarily take over the position of judicial officer, but you have to promise me one thing." Su Wuming asked doubtfully: "What is it?" Lu Lingfeng glanced at Su Wuming and said firmly: "Send Xijun back to Chang'an!"
Su Wuming spread his hands in a helpless manner: "Lu Lingfeng, you are making things difficult for me. Xijun was invited to Nanzhou by Huan'er, and I can't make the decision on this matter. If you really want her to go back, why not wait for Huan'er to come back and discuss it with her in person."
When Lu Lingfeng heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, like a ball of twisted hemp rope. He stared at Su Wuming suspiciously, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Su Wuming, don't use Chu Hua as a shield. She is a girl, how can she care about such things? I think you just don't want to help me!"
"God and heaven are my conscience, Lu Lingfeng, when have I ever lied to you? Huan'er has many tricks up her sleeve and likes to be lively. Maybe she has already thought of how to arrange for Xijun. If I intervene rashly, won't it ruin her plan?"
Lu Lingfeng stared at Su Wuming for a long while, half believing and half doubting, but he was finally defeated. He sighed heavily and sat down on the chair like a deflated ball: "Forget it, forget it, I finally see it clearly, you two are more cunning than each other, I can't beat you."
Su Wuming was relieved to see that Lu Lingfeng had finally calmed down. He stood up and walked to Lu Lingfeng, gently patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Lu Lingfeng, don't you think that Xijun is a woman, and it will be inconvenient for her to go back to Chang'an alone. Now that we are taking care of her, at least she is safe. Why are you so persistent?"
Lu Lingfeng curled his lips and muttered softly, "Who is obsessed? I just think... men and women should not be intimate with each other. She is a girl, and she follows a group of grown men like us all day long. What's wrong with that?"
Su Wuming couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He teased, "Why? Are you feeling sorry for Miss Xijun?"
"Who... who feels sorry for her? I'm just... just speaking the truth!"
Su Wuming stopped teasing him and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Since you have agreed to temporarily take over the position of judicial officer, you should familiarize yourself with the files of the prefecture as soon as possible. There are many old cases piled up in Nanzhou, and the burden on you is not light."
When Lu Lingfeng heard this, he immediately became alert. He stood up suddenly and said, "Don't worry, Su Wuming, I will do my best and will never let you down!"
Su Wuming looked at Lu Lingfeng's departing back and shook his head helplessly, with a smile on his lips.
Su Wuming tiptoed to Chu Hua's door and knocked twice gently.
"Come in." Chu Hua's lazy voice came from inside the house.
Su Wuming pushed the door open and saw Chu Huan still maintaining the same posture as it had been for thousands of years - slumped on the bed, holding a small cube that was flashing a faint blue light in her hand, her fingers sliding across it quickly.
"Huan'er, are you playing with your precious thing again?" Su Wuming walked to the bedside and sat down, with a hint of doting helplessness in his tone.
Chu Hua didn't even raise her head and responded vaguely: "Yeah... I'm watching the drama. It's very exciting."
Su Wuming curiously leaned over to see what kind of "drama" could fascinate Chu Hua. On the small square, a group of people in strange costumes jumped up and down in a bizarre world, muttering some words he couldn't understand.
"This...what is this?" Su Wuming pointed at the screen, looking confused.
"It's a great TV series!" Chu Hua finally took her eyes off the screen and began to explain to Su Wuming enthusiastically.
"Look, the one wearing red is the protagonist. He is very skilled in martial arts and is extremely powerful..."
Su Wuming was completely confused. He really couldn't understand what Chu Hua was talking about. He just felt that the images on the small square were flashing so brightly that it made him dizzy, and the strange sounds also made him feel upset.
"Huan'er, you are obsessed with this thing all day long, aren't you afraid of hurting your eyes?" Su Wuming couldn't help but persuade.
"Oh, it's okay, I know what's going on." Chu Huan waved her hand and put her attention back on the "TV series".
