Chapter 786 Su Wuming 85
She deliberately licked Su Wuming's palm with the tip of her tongue. Su Wuming suddenly retracted his hand as if he was struck by electricity, and his face turned red instantly.
Seeing this, Chu Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost crying. Su Wuming couldn't help but smile at her happy laughter and shook his head helplessly.
“Huan’er, you…you…” Su Wuming kept talking to me for a long time but couldn’t make any sense. He just felt his face burning, as if it was about to burn.
"Okay, okay, I'm right. Can't I just admit my mistake? I will definitely not talk nonsense again in the future..."
Chu Hua raised three fingers as she spoke, swearing, with a smile still in her eyes. Su Wuming looked at her mischievous appearance, and the last trace of embarrassment in his heart disappeared, leaving only a look of doting.
"Huan'er, you..." Su Wuming gently tapped Chu Huan's nose, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his tone.
"Always so naughty."
Chu Hua stuck out her tongue, grabbed Su Wuming's arm, and said coquettishly, "I'm just worried that you'll be bored, so I want to liven up the atmosphere."
Su Wuming let her hold his arm and they continued walking forward. Chu Huan pointed at the strange things on the street from time to time and chattered non-stop, while Su Wuming listened with a smile and occasionally agreed with a few words. There was a sweet and warm atmosphere between the two of them.
"By the way, Huan'er..." Su Wuming suddenly seemed to remember something and slowed down his pace.
"Do you remember anything about the Tang Dynasty Law Commentary that I asked you to recite earlier?"
Chu Huan’s hand that was holding his arm paused, and the smile on her face froze.
Her eyes wandered, trying to get away with it: "Ah? That...endorsement..."
Chu Hua rubbed her hands guiltily, her eyes dodging, like a kitten that had stolen fish. She quickly glanced at Su Wuming, and seeing him looking at her with a half-smile, she became even more panicked.
"I memorized it!" Chu Hua said stiffly, but her eyes drifted towards the vendor selling candied haws on the roadside.
"Well, that candied haws looks really good..."
Su Wuming followed her gaze, feeling both angry and amused. This girl was becoming more and more skilled at changing the subject.
"Oh? You've memorized it? Then Huan'er, why don't you recite a passage so that I can test you." Su Wuming's tone was gentle, but it left no room for doubt.
When Chu Hua heard this, she was like a deflated ball. She pleaded with a bitter face, "Oh, Su Wuming, we finally got out to go shopping, don't mention memorizing, it's such a bummer!"
She shook Su Wuming's arm, trying to get away with it by acting coquettishly.
Su Wuming looked at her innocent appearance, his heart almost melted, but he still insisted: "No, you can't slack off in learning. Besides, I'm doing this for your own good. Didn't you say you wanted to learn the art of solving cases from me? Memorizing the laws of the Tang Dynasty is just the basics."
Chu Hua cried in her heart: Heaven! Earth! What sin did I commit in my previous life? Why did I, a modern soul, come to this prosperous Tang Dynasty and have to memorize these abstruse laws!
She rolled her eyes, and a plan came to her mind. She looked at Su Wuming pitifully, and said in a delicate voice: "Su Wuming, look at the people coming and going on this street, it's so lively! We finally got out, just let me relax! Can't I recite the book at any other time? Why do I have to choose this time?"
Su Wuming looked at her like this and felt amused in his heart, but his expression remained calm: "Huan'er, the law is the basis of solving cases, and it cannot be taken lightly. Think about it, if you don't understand the law, how can you distinguish right from wrong and uphold justice?"
Chu Hua curled her lips and muttered softly: "I don't want to be an official..."
Su Wuming had sharp ears, so he naturally heard her muttering. He pretended to be angry and said, "Huan'er, this is wrong! Even if you are not an official, you should know the law and abide by it. How can you have such thoughts? Also, didn't you say you wanted to change the situation of women?"
Seeing that Su Wuming was really angry, Chu Huan didn't dare to do anything more. She had to stand still and racked her brains to recall the thick book "Commentary on the Tang Dynasty Law".
And she was indeed a little too proud, thinking that she had a golden finger but was ignorant. Fortunately, Su Wuming pulled her back on the right track.
"Um...that...'Explanation of the Tang Dynasty Laws'...um...the opening...the first sentence is..." Chu Hua hesitated for a long time and couldn't recite a single word.
Su Wuming looked at her embarrassed appearance, feeling helpless and amused. This girl, there was really nothing he could do about her.
"Forget it, forget it. I won't test you today, but after you go back, you must study hard and don't be lazy anymore." Su Wuming finally softened his heart.
"But I can't recognize all these words..." Chu Hua looked at Su Wuming pitifully, her big eyes blinking and as wet as a deer.
Su Wuming sighed helplessly. This girl was really good at making excuses. He reached out and gently scratched the tip of her nose, saying lovingly, "What do you want, Huan'er?"
"Let's go back and read it to me!"
A cunning look flashed across Chu Hua's eyes, and like a little fox that had successfully stolen some fish, she pulled Su Wuming and walked back.
"Let's go, Mr. Su, you've worked hard today, let's go back and review our lessons!"
Su Wuming looked at her cheerful appearance and shook his head helplessly. This girl was really a clever girl. However, he was also happy to be led by her.
Su Wuming smiled dotingly, took her hand and walked back.
"Okay, I'll read it to you when I get back, but Huan'er, you must listen carefully and stop thinking about the candied haws."
After returning to his residence, Su Wuming took out the "Great Tang Law Commentary", opened the file, and sat upright. However, Chu Hua did not sit aside obediently as usual, but walked directly behind Su Wuming and hung on him like a koala.
"Hey? What are you doing?" Su Wuming was startled by her sudden action and his body stiffened instantly.
"It's comfortable this way!" Chu Huan answered confidently, and deliberately rubbed her head against his shoulder.
Su Wuming only felt a faint fragrance entering his nose, disturbing his mind. This girl is doing bad things again!
He shook his head helplessly, trying his best to ignore the softness that was so close to him, cleared his throat, and began to recite the law.
"Volume 1, Chapter 1: Laws and Regulations..." Su Wuming's voice was low and magnetic. He read out the boring legal provisions, but it seemed as if he was reciting a beautiful poem.
As Chu Hua listened, her eyelids became heavier, and finally she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep with even breathing. Su Wuming felt the weight on his shoulders, and when he looked down, he saw Chu Hua sleeping soundly, with her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a lazy kitten.
He smiled helplessly. This girl is really...
"Ahem!" Su Wuming pretended to clear his throat and shrugged his shoulders slightly. Chu Huan was sleeping soundly and had no reaction. She just rubbed against his shoulder like a spoiled kitten.
Su Wuming looked at her peaceful sleeping face, and an indescribable tenderness surged in his heart. This girl, really makes people love and hate her.
He wanted to give up and let her have a good sleep, but then he changed his mind and felt a little unwilling. He finally got the chance to be alone with her, how could he let it go so easily?
So he coughed again with evil intentions, this time a little louder.
Chu Huan opened her eyes drowsily, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and muttered, "What's wrong? It's so noisy..."
Su Wuming suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Huan'er, you are pressing on me. I can't breathe."
Chu Huan then realized that she was still hanging on Su Wuming, and she quickly stood up, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I fell asleep." She explained a little embarrassedly.
Su Wuming looked at her shy appearance, and felt even happier. He teased her on purpose: "Huan'er, did you think my reading was boring, so you fell asleep on purpose?"
"No way!" Chu Hua denied it flatly: "You recited it very nicely, just like... like singing a lullaby..."
"No... no..." Chu Hua accidentally let the cat out of the bag, her face flushed red like a ripe apple. She waved her hands in panic, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"I mean, you read very well, I like listening to you very much..."
Su Wuming looked at her flustered appearance, and the smile on his face deepened. "Huan'er likes to listen to it, so I will read it to you every day in the future, okay?"
Chu Hua's heart skipped a beat and she secretly looked up at Su Wuming.
"Okay... okay..." She agreed in a low voice, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.
Su Wuming spoke softly, as if coaxing a child: "Huan'er, the governor of the prefecture has given us a half-month vacation these days. I plan to go back to Gantang Post with Lingfeng. There seem to be some unsolved doubts there."
When Chu Hua heard this, she suddenly lost all her sleepiness and jumped off Su Wuming like a cat with its fur standing on end. "What's the doubt? I want to go too!"
Su Wuming smiled helplessly. This girl was really full of energy all the time. "It might be dangerous to go there. You..."
"Dangerous? Then you have to go!" Chu Hua interrupted him, her face full of excitement, "I like exciting things the most! What's more, I can help! You have seen my magic before."
"no!"
Su Wuming shook his head and rejected her request: "The journey is long and dangerous, it is safer for you to stay in Nanzhou."
He paused, then slowed down his tone and said with a hint of persuasion: "Be good and wait for me at home. I will be back soon. However, before I come back, you have to recite the first volume of the law to me. Just think of it as... a reward for me. How about it?"
Chu Hua's little face wrinkled into a ball, like a deflated bun.
"It's such a thick book that it makes me dizzy. I might as well go catch a thief!" She pouted her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Su Wuming looked at her childish appearance, laughing in his heart, but his face was serious: "The sage said that law is the program of the world and the foundation of all things. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, how can I not know the law?"
