454 More Forgiving
In fact, Xue Yan didn’t know if Sanfu and Pei Fufu were like this when they first met in his previous life. He only knew that Sanfu met Pei Fufu when he went to the Pei residence to pick him up. He also knew about this information later. He quickly realized that Pei Fufu seemed nervous now, so he changed the topic, “Fufu, are you out to play? Or to do something else?”
After the topic was changed, Pei Fufu’s nerves lessened, but she still didn’t dare to look at Xue Sanfu. She smiled at Xue Yan, embarrassed, “I heard that there’s a stall selling ice on this street. I’ve never eaten ice in summer, so I wanted to try it, so I brought Fei Ju out with me to give it a try.”
Fei Ju was Pei Fufu’s maidservant.
Xue Yan smiled, “My family is the one selling ice. Our stall is on the other side of this street. We’re also actually heading back. Let’s go together.”
“It’s yours?!” Pei Fufu was extremely surprised. “That… that’s great.” She still didn’t dare to look at Xue Sanfu.
Jiang Yue glanced at Sanfu when she saw Pei Fufu’s expression. Sanfu was still the same, stoic and unbothered.
However, Xue Yan seemed to sense something a little strange, as if he was observing the two people without leaving any trace.
Could it be that something was going to happen between the two of them in the future?
Could it be that… Pei Fufu was the one for him?
With this thought in mind, Jiang Yue immediately turned to Xue Yan.
However, before she could hold onto Xue Yan clearly, Pei Fufu hurriedly took her other hand out.
“Jiang Yue, you’re so small, I’ll hold you while we walk.” Pei Fufu laughed.
She obviously just wanted to ease her tension.
Jiang Yue wanted to call her out, but she still let Pei Fufu hold her hand.
Xue Yan and Pei Fufu each held one of Jiang Yue’s hands and led her in the front. Xue Sanfu was like a protector, leading the horse and following behind.
As Pei Fufu was holding her small hand, Jiang Yue could feel Pei Fufu’s nervousness and stiffness. She could also see that Pei Fufu did not dare to look back at all.
Pei Fufu’s neck was probably stiff from looking forward like this.
At this hour, there was a long line of people waiting to eat ice. There were also people who went to the stall to buy popsicles and left. In short, there were many people in front of the not-so-big stall.
It was similar to yesterday.
With so many people, it would be difficult to lead the horses over. Jiang Yue and the rest stopped in their tracks and stood behind the crowd. However, Xue Sifu, who was at the stall, noticed them with his sharp eyes. He asked Li Qingshu’s mother and the others to take over his job, and he squeezed through the crowd.
As soon as he saw the tall horse his family had bought, he immediately said, “This horse looks strong! You must be hungry. It’s already noon. Hurry up and find a place to tie your horse. Come over and eat the rice noodles. I brought a lot of rice noodles today. It’ll definitely be enough for us to eat and sell. Oh, who is this young lady?”
As he spoke, Xue Sifu noticed that Jiang Yue was being held by another person, and it was a person who looked like a young lady from a well of family.
Xue Yan introduced her to his other brother.
Pei Fufu wasn’t nervous at all when she introduced herself to Sifu. She bowed to him respectfully.
“Oh…” Xue Sifu was a little helpless. This was the first time a girl had bowed to him. “I don’t know how to return the greeting. I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s fine.” Pei Fufu laughed. She knew that some people didn’t get a chance to learn etiquette, and she had learned this since she was young. Her family was strict, so she didn’t dare to forget.
Xue Sifu felt that this young lady was really well-mannered.
“Hey, where’s Sanfu?” Xue Sifu suddenly realized that Sanfu was missing. He had been so focused on talking to Pei Fufu that he didn’t notice Sanfu leaving.
