Chapter 60 Insufficient Reason
Lu Chengjing was startled and pulled his hand back reflexively.
"Don't move." Shang Wan muttered softly, "Why are you still so cold under the quilt?"
Warmth came from the hands held by the two of them, as if it turned into a warm current, flowing along the hands and into the heart.
Lu Chengjing opened his eyes and stared at the light-leaking roof for a long time. He quietly moved to the side and did not stop until his shoulder touched Shang Wan's.
Shang Wan leaned his head towards Lu Chengjing and asked sleepily, "What's wrong?"
"Are you going to the city tomorrow?"
"Um."
Lu Chengjing said softly: "I want to go."
"The injury on your leg hasn't healed yet." Shang Wan opened one eye and looked at him, "Give me a reason to take you with me."
Lu Chengjing thought for a moment and whispered: "I am a little concerned about Tian Sheng's suicide by taking poison. While Mr. An is still in the county, I would like to ask Mr. An about the progress of this matter."
"No, the reason is not sufficient." Shang Wan objected, "I can help you ask by the way."
Lu Chengjing: "There is also the matter of disaster relief food."
Shang Wan still objected, "For the same reason, I can help you ask."
Lu Chengjing: "..."
"Is there any reason?" Shang Wan looked at him, "You can sleep without me."
"Yes." Lu Chengjing shook the hands of the two of them. Before he could say anything, his ears turned red. "I, I want to... accompany you."
The last two words were inaudible, but they fell into Shang Wan's ears accurately.
Shang said that she was not tired after talking like this.
She half-propped herself up, reached out and skillfully found Lu Chengjing's red ears, pinched them, and said with a smile, "The reason is not sufficient, but you are allowed to add to it."
Replenish?
A row of question marks popped up in Lu Chengjing's mind. He tried his best to ignore the strangeness in his ears and asked softly: "What should I add?"
"Master Xiucai is so smart, so of course he has to think for himself."
The interest Shang Wan had collected from him flashed through Lu Chengjing's mind inexplicably. His heart beat uncontrollably and he held Shang Wan's hand tighter.
Feeling the strength in his hand, Shang Wan leaned forward and asked with a smile: "Have you figured it out yet?"
The light fragrance lingered on his nose. Lu Chengjing closed his eyes and suddenly raised his head, his pale lips gently touching Shang Wan's cheek.
After just a moment, he turned his head away with flushed cheeks, his long eyelashes trembling wildly, and his voice was soft and hoarse, "Can you do it now?"
Shang Wan blinked and said to be honest, she said she wanted to add a reason just because she wanted Lu Chengjing to say a few more nice words. She didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise.
She looked at the person in front of her with her slender neck exposed outside of her tunic. This time, not only her ears and face were red, but her neck was also red.
Tsk tsk, isn't her fox so shy that he spontaneously combusts?
Unable to suppress his mood of teasing the shy beauty, Shang Wan coughed slightly and said deliberately: "It's not enough, I have to add more."
Still adding?
Lu Chengjing's eyes widened slightly in shock. Before he could react, Shang Wan quickly lowered his head, stamped a seal on the side of his smooth neck, and made a soft "pop" sound.
Lu Chengjing:! ! !
"Okay, that's enough now." Mr. Shang, who had taken advantage, hugged the stunned fox and wrapped them into the bed together.
Lu Chengjing blinked slowly and clearly felt a slender arm hanging on his waist and abdomen. Shang Wan whispered in his ears, "The waist is too thin. Eat more in the future and gain some muscle." It’s just comfortable.”
Lu Chengjing: "..." The next day.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but the warmth lingered around my body. When I woke up, Lu Chengjing was still in a trance, and his left hand subconsciously reached to his side.
I didn't catch the Xiangxiang wife, but I caught a chubby baby with milk.
"Daddy!" Yuanyuan leaned over enthusiastically, pursed her lips and gave her father a loud kiss.
Lu Chengjing patted his daughter and declined Yuanyuan's request to let the little turtle kiss him too.
Shitou heard the commotion inside and came in to help Lu Chengjing put on his coat. He muttered, "Brother-in-law, how did you convince my sister to take you? I begged my sister for a long time and she didn't agree. Please teach me."
What happened last night flashed through his mind, and Lu Chengjing's ears felt warm. He coughed awkwardly, "You go to the city with us, and only Xiao Huan and Yuanyuan are left at home. How can we rest assured?"
"Xiao Hui is back." Shitou helped tie his belt and muttered, "It's the same with or without me."
He looked at Lu Chengjing and said, "Brother-in-law, just teach me."
"You can't learn from your brother-in-law." Shang Wan opened the door and came in, holding a wooden comb in his hand.
Shitou Kuhahaha, "Sister, I..."
"Okay, let's go together." Shang Wan interrupted the young man, "The Zhang family's ox cart has been borrowed. You will be responsible for driving it later, and we will go to the city for a walk together."
"Okay!" Shitou jumped up excitedly and hit his head on a horizontal wooden pillar. He groaned in pain and squatted on the ground.
Yuanyuan followed with an "ouch" and raised her little fleshy hand to cover her head, feeling very empathetic.
Stone:"……"
You didn’t hit your head, so what are you complaining about?
Shang Wan drove Liang Huobao out and used a wooden comb to comb Lu Chengjing's hair.
But her own hair was still combed with small rings. Apart from twisting one black hair into knots, there was no progress at all.
Shang Wan gave up decisively and called Xiaohuan to help.
After the family had their morning meal and told Xiao Hui to take good care of the house, they drove the ox cart into the city.
The disaster situation in the county town was not bad. Except for three private houses, two restaurants and an inn, which were seriously damaged, the rest of the areas were hardly affected. There was no ground cracking like in Yushu Village.
After the initial panic, under the organization of the government, the city had long since restored its previous order.
After paying the entrance fee, Shitou entered the city easily. After asking around, Shitou drove the ox cart to the largest wood workshop in the city.
Li Dashan was temporarily unable to help make a wheelchair, and Lu Chengjing's legs would not heal in a short time. Even if Shang Wan could carry him, it would still not be as convenient as his own movement, so he still had to prepare a wheelchair.
"Sir, please come inside." The clerk from the wood workshop enthusiastically welcomed Shang Wan and his party in. "The shop has tables, chairs, benches, beds, screens, and everything you need. What do you want to buy, sir?"
Shitou put Lu Chengjing on the nearest armchair and asked the waiter, "Is there a wheelchair?"
"Yes." The clerk quickly glanced at Lu Chengjing's legs with a smile on his face, "Sir, you have come to the right place. We are the only one selling wheelchairs in this whole city. Wait a moment, sir, I'm here I will roll out all the wheelchairs for you to choose from.”
There were many people in the carpentry workshop. When they saw the waiters pushing out four wheelchairs, they couldn't help but look here curiously.
Not many people buy wheelchairs these days. It’s not that they don’t need them, but they are too expensive. Usually, it’s the nobles who need them and send people to the wood workshop to place custom orders.
Of the four wheelchairs in the carpentry workshop, two were discarded after the nobleman made a drawing and ordered them without sending anyone to pick them up. The other two were always kept in the shop for customers in urgent need.
Shang Wan glanced at it and felt that except for the carvings and materials, the styles were similar.
The clerk introduced with a smile: "The wheelchairs in the store are carefully made by master craftsmen and are made of fine materials. They are warm in winter and cool in summer."
Shang Wan was speechless, what does a wheelchair need to be warm in winter and cool in summer?
The waiter said to Lu Chengjing, "Sir, you might as well sit on it and give it a try."
Shitou was about to step forward and carry Lu Chengjing when he heard a male voice say, "Hey, isn't this Lu Xiucai? He has a broken leg and is hiding in a remote place. How can he have the nerve to run out and embarrass himself?"
