Chapter 1048: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (37)
When the name "Xue Lang" came out, Xue Yuan's face turned red almost instantly, but his skin was too dark to be seen for a while.
Shopkeeper Liu clapped his hands and said: "Well said, this guy has only studied for a few days and he doesn't even know his last name. Not to mention a student like him who can't even get a place in the private school,
Even the number of children from aristocratic families who graduate from official schools every year is unknown. Even those who are already very well-endowed have a hard time making it, so he probably can't even get to the top."
"You...you!" Xiao Jianlu's face turned even uglier after hearing the sarcasm. Coupled with the bruises he had just received from the beating, he looked particularly ferocious. He clenched his fists tightly, and seemed to have the urge to fight again.
Xue Yuan quickly stood in front of Ning Yun, raised his head slightly, and looked at the other person with a bit of contempt.
The cool breeze in the evening made Xiao Jianlu's mind clear again. He could still tell which was more likely, beating someone or being beaten.
But even at this point, Xiao Jianlu couldn't help but swear, "Just wait for me. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. You look down on me now, but one day I'll make you regret it!"
"Get lost!" Shopkeeper Liu said directly, "I won't tell you what will happen in the future. Let me be happy now first!"
Seeing the shop assistant about to step forward, Xiao Jianlu almost turned around and was about to run away. Unfortunately, he had accidentally hurt his knee when fighting with Xue Yuan just now. He didn't feel the pain just now, but now that his strength had returned, he started to limp as well.
"Sister Ning! You are so lucky." Shopkeeper Liu did not mention the fact that the Xiao and Ning families were almost engaged. After all, Xue Yuan, the real fiancé, was still there.
Ning Yun smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kind words, Sister Liu. It's getting late, so I'll go home first."
He had originally wanted to arrange for someone to send Ning Yun off, but now seeing Xue Yuan's expression, Shopkeeper Liu didn't mention it again. After saying goodbye to each other, he returned to the shop and prepared to close.
Ning Yun and Xue Yuan walked towards the Ning family's house together. After they had walked a few steps, Xue Yuan seemed to remember that he had brought something for him today: "Sese, here!"
Ning Yun took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
"There is a mountain around the city. There is a kind of fruit on the mountain. After the seeds of these fruits are fried, they are very fragrant and delicious!" Xue Yuan introduced enthusiastically, "and eating them is good for the eyes.
My father used to buy it for me often, but this fruit only grows once a year, and this family cooks it the best. I asked his fellow villagers and he bought it for you when he came to the capital today."
At this point, Xue Yuan lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly: "My father said that I can't go to your house to see you right after the engagement, so I thought that I would buy something and hand it to you outside your house, which should be no problem.
But when I got to your house, I realized you were out delivering embroidery, so I followed you. Who knows... Sese, will you think I'm rude because I hit someone?
Ning Yun was just about to speak when he saw the sweat on Xue Yuan's forehead. This guy who had just fought with someone without sweating was now explaining a few words to him so cautiously, which showed that he cared about his opinion.
He pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over. Coincidentally, it was the same handkerchief Xue Yuan had picked up that day. Ning Yun met his gaze and said, "Here, wipe the sweat off your face! It's not about being rude or not. It seems to me that you just don't want to be bullied."
"Yes!" Xue Yuan happily handed the oil-paper bag in his hand to Ning Yun, and then took the other's handkerchief, but only wiped it symbolically and put it in his arms.
The two of them chatted casually and soon arrived at the door of Ning's house.
Before leaving, Xue Yuan lightly touched the hem of Ning Yun's clothes, and without looking at the other party's puzzled eyes, he turned his face away and said, "Sese, can you call me Xue Lang again?"
He lived for eleven years, and except for his childhood, he was always called Master Xue or Little Master Xue.
It was the first time someone called me "Xue Lang"!
Lang is a name for a handsome man!
Ning Yun obviously didn't expect the other party to have such a request, so he didn't respond immediately.
Xue Yuan saw the situation and thought that the other party was unwilling, so he quickly tried to make excuses for himself: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to. I just haven't heard anyone call me that, so I'm a little..."
His voice became lower and lower, and was finally interrupted by Ning Yun's call of "Xue Lang".
"Xue Lang, if you like to hear that, I'll call you that from now on!" Ning Yun smiled gently, "Okay, I should go back now. You should go home early too! You've been tired all day, so go back and rest early!"
"Well, are you still going to the embroidery shop tomorrow?" Xue Yuan was afraid that Ning Yun would misunderstand him, so he added, "If you still go at this time, I'll get off work early tomorrow and come pick you up. Although the security in the capital city is not bad, you can't guarantee that you will run into someone with a bad brain like that again!"
