Chapter 139 Good intentions lead to bad things
An Yu looked at the candied haws stall in front of him, then looked at Ye Qiongying.
She seemed to be really worried that he was frightened by what happened just now, which was why he hadn't spoken, so she wanted to use his favorite sweets to calm him down.
That face, which was not as tanned as before, was still handsome, and those eyes were brighter than when he was in the capital. Looking at him now, it was as if he was the only one she could see.
An Yu felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
It was like eating a piece of candy wrapped in a filling, sweet, but mixed with an indescribable taste, making his heart feel like boiling water, gurgling non-stop.
There was a moment when he wanted to let go of everything and pretend to be a little fool who knew nothing, accompanying Ye Qiongying to realize her dream of becoming a female general in Pingwu City, watching how she struggled and how she revitalized the Ye family, without having to worry about anything else.
but……
An Yu is not really a fool.
Even the name "An Yu" is not even his real name.
He was still too smart, and his brain was reminding him that he couldn't always be a fool who knew nothing.
He is not someone who likes to play dumb forever.
What he wants, he prefers to take control of and fight for it in his own hands.
In addition to Ye Qiongying's dream, he still has a lot of things to do.
Even Pingwu City would be implicated in its destruction if he gave up everything, and Ye Qiongying's dream would also be shattered here.
Therefore, An Yu quickly calmed down, revealed a slightly excited smile, and said to Ye Qiongying:
"Yes! Sister, I want to eat candied haws, um... three... two bunches, please?"
Seeing that he finally smiled, Ye Qiongying also smiled and said:
"Okay, I'll buy you three skewers, but you can only eat one. Save the rest for when you get home. Don't eat too much sweets at once, or there will be little bugs in your teeth, and it will hurt!"
An Yu knew that she was just trying to coax a child, but he still pretended to be scared and covered his cheeks.
This action made Yao Dachuan and the others laugh:
"Sister Qiongying, please stop scaring the kids. It's just a candied haws, it's okay to eat it!"
Yao Manfu muttered:
"This An Yu is taller than me. What a kid! I want to eat candied haws, too."
Yao Feng on the side was speechless after hearing this:
"Brother, you are still comparing yourself to others. Let's go, we have left some money, I will buy you some candied haws!"
Compared to Yao Manfu, he is more like an older brother.
Yao Manfu didn't feel guilty at all and immediately became happy:
"Great, great! Buy me a good harvest!"
He had a carefree personality and was usually very sloppy. He was worried about losing things, so every month when the salary was paid, the two brothers would send most of it directly back home. The remaining small portion was kept for self-defense, but it was also kept with Yao Fengshou.
He said that Yao Fengshou bought it for him, but in fact he just bought it with his own money.
But for Yao Manfu, it doesn’t matter whether his money is used or not, as long as someone buys him candied haws.
After all, you are still young, who wouldn’t like snacks?
The candied haws stall, which had not many people just now, suddenly had four more people, who bought several strings and left.
The stall owner's craftsmanship is really good. The red fruit is covered with a layer of translucent sugar coating. In the sun, the smooth sugar coating will emit a faint halo, which is very beautiful.
Ye Qiongying herself didn't eat much of these things, so she handed one string to An Yu and let him eat it, and she held the other two strings for him.
Yao Dachuan didn't like to eat this either, so he let the brothers Yao Manfu and Yao Fengshou eat it, and he would get the other things.
An Yu took the candied haws that Ye Qiongying handed to him and ate two of them with his eyes squinting.
The crunchy sugar coating made a crackling sound as he chewed it. The sweet shell mixed with the sour taste of the fruit inside was just right.
His eyes narrowed because of the sourness of the fruit. He looked like a small animal that had eaten something. Even the candied haws seemed more delicious.
After eating two, An Yu raised his hand and held the candied haws out to Ye Qiongying:
"Sister, you eat!"
Ye Qiongying felt something reaching out to her and reflexively dodged backwards, but she forgot that the two Yao brothers who were following her were also holding several strings of candied haws in their hands, and some of her hair ends got stuck to them.
"Ouch!" Several people cried out.
Seeing a few red candied haws hanging from the ends of Ye Qiongying's hair, Yao Manfu and Yao Fengshou stuttered guiltily:
"I...we didn't mean it..."
Ye Qiongying also felt a force falling from behind, and when she pulled her hair to the front, she was helpless:
"It has nothing to do with you. You didn't know I would suddenly turn backwards... Never mind. I'll go to the shop in front and borrow a pair of scissors to cut off some of my hair. It's a pity to waste your candied haws. I'll buy you a few more later!"
"No, no!" The two brothers quickly refused. "One string of this sweet thing is enough. Sister Qiongying, please treat us to something else later! Let's not buy more candied haws. But...is it okay to cut your hair?"
But I dare not buy so many candied haws anymore.
It would be difficult to deal with it if someone else's messages were sent to you.
Now, Ye Qiongying’s hair problem hasn’t been fixed yet!
It's normal for them to worry.
Ordinary people cannot cut hair easily, especially girls.
An Yu's eyes turned red:
"Sister, I... it's all An Yu's fault. I shouldn't have scared you! An Yu should also cut off her hair to compensate you!"
Ye Qiongying was originally worried about the difficulty in getting the candied haws out of her hair, and seeing him like this, she quickly comforted him:
"It's okay, don't blame Anyu, it's my sister who made a fuss and made a mistake, don't cry. It just so happens that my hair is long and it's troublesome for training. I've been wanting to cut it for a long time. I want to thank Anyu for giving me this opportunity to trim it.
I'm not shaving my head. I'm just cutting off the part where the candied haws are stuck and trimming it a little shorter. It's not a big deal.
I don't feel anything wrong, so don't worry! Let's go now. If we take too long, it will be more difficult to deal with the sugar."
After hearing what she said, everyone quickly started looking for a place.
Fortunately, there is a tailor shop nearby.
Ye Qiongying successfully found a store and borrowed a pair of scissors. Seeing that she was inconvenienced, the store owner took the initiative to help her. He helped her remove the candied haws from her hair and trimmed the ends of her hair.
Apart from being slightly shorter than before, there is almost no difference.
If they come by themselves, they may not have the skills of the store owner.
After the trimming was completed, the shopkeeper collected the scissors and was about to leave. Perhaps because she had spent a little too long bending down to cut the ends of Ye Qiongying's hair, she suddenly stood up unsteadily. Her body swayed, and the scissors in her hand suddenly brushed against the back of Ye Qiongying's hand.
A twinge of pain came.
Ye Qiongying looked down and saw a shallow cut on the back of her hand. It was not serious, but blood was gradually coming out.
