In the crowded market, a beautiful young girl with rosy lips and white teeth was leading a cute and lively little boy through the market.

Liu Xu had a sweet smile on her face as she hummed an unknown melody. Her footsteps were brisk, and from time to time, she would lower her head to look at Chen Hui, who was beside her, and say a few words to him.

Of course, Chen Hui couldn't understand a single word, but Liu Xu was still enjoying the show.

For some reason, the more she looked at him, the more she liked Chen Hui beside her. Looking at him, she felt very happy.

Chen Hui also raised his head from time to time to look at Liu Xu, and every time he met her eyes, Liu Xu would smile and look at him.

Following that, Chen Hui frowned and lowered his head. He continued thinking about how to communicate with Liu Xu.

Jing Xin followed behind the two of them, and found the scene quite interesting. From time to time, he would cover his mouth and chuckle.

When the passersby saw this warm scene, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

After walking for a while, they stopped in front of a well-decorated wine house.

It was a three-storey restaurant with a red room and blue tiles. Two big red lanterns were hung on the door, and a large signboard was in the middle of the room. On the signboard, three flamboyant words were written: "Phoenix Riding Restaurant".

"Kid, you were eating just now. You must be hungry, right? Elder sister will first take you to eat something, alright? " Liu Xu smiled and walked into the restaurant with Chen Hui.

As he entered, he saw a red staircase that led to the second floor. There were only six or seven round tables in the hall, and each table was separated by a screen.

At the moment, the hall was already filled with people. They would occasionally exchange toasts and chat merrily. However, it did not make too much noise and was instead whispering. This feeling made Chen Hui feel a little strange.

At these tables, there would occasionally be female attendants shuttling back and forth to add some tea for the guests at the tables. As they walked in the main hall, the faint sound of a beautiful zither could be heard from upstairs.

After pausing for a moment in the hall, Jing Xin called for a female attendant, and they headed upstairs.

When he got to the second floor, the faint sound of the zither became even clearer. The music did not come from the second floor, but from the third floor above.

There was a long and narrow passage in front of them. There were two chambers on both sides of the passage. Each room had a painting of mountains and rivers hanging in front of it. Each painting gave the entire corridor a touch of quiet elegance.

The doors of the rooms were all closed, and from the outside, the rooms looked the same. There was only two or three rooms with a small red sign on the door with the word "Guest" written on it.

The female attendant led Chen Hui and the other two directly to the room in the middle. She helped Liu Xu push open the door and made a welcoming gesture. Liu Xu leisurely walked in with Chen Hui.

Seeing that everyone had entered, the female attendant closed the door and hung the sign "Guest" on the door before turning around to leave.

"Strange, why did she bring me here? Do you want to eat? "

Puzzled, Chen Hui looked at Liu Xu and curiously observed the room.

The entire room was decorated simply with a round table and a few chairs.

There was a vase of unknown flowers on the table. A faint fragrance wafted into Chen Hui's nose.

Hugging Chen Hui, Liu Xu wanted to sit beside him.

But when Chen Hui sat down, Liu Xu realized that he was too short. As he sat there, his head barely reached the table's height.

Thinking about it again, he felt that having a child like Chen Hui sit on a chair wasn't very appropriate. She picked him up and let him sit on her lap.

Chen Hui was startled for a moment, even though he felt very comfortable leaning against Liu Xu's soft body. However, this standard posture of a child made him feel very uncomfortable. He struggled to get off Liu Xu's body.

Liu Xu hurriedly held him down, slightly frowned and said, "Little guy, don't move. If you fall down, it will hurt a lot."

However, Chen Hui ignored her. He did not understand what Liu Xu was saying and only wanted to get off her body.

He struggled for a long time, but unfortunately, his strength wasn't as strong as Liu Xu, so he couldn't get off her body.

Moreover, he was a bit afraid of struggling too much and falling off her body.

After all, this position was still very high for a child like him. If he were to fall, it would inevitably cause problems.

Chen Hui pursed his lips. In the end, he had no choice but to give up struggling.

Seeing that Chen Hui had finally obeyed, Liu Xu smiled, gently stroking his head and said gently, "That's right, little guy, you don't have to be so scared. Big sister will not hurt you."

"I wonder what he's talking about …" Curling his lips, Chen Hui angrily leaned his body against hers.

Liu Xu's body was soft and there was also a faintly discernible fragrance which made him feel especially comfortable.

This double enjoyment also caused Chen Hui to feel more at ease as he sat on Liu Xu's leg, comfortably leaning against her body as he squinted his eyes.

Jing Xin sat in front of them. He blinked his large eyes as he curiously looked at Chen Hui for a long time. He then looked at Liu Xu. "Miss, why do I think this child resembles you?"

"Oh? Is that so? Maybe it's because he's cute. " Liu Xu smiled carelessly, then lowered her head and asked, "Little guy, are you hungry?" What do you want to eat? "

Chen Hui saw Liu Xu talking to him and raised his head to look, but it just so happened to meet her eyes. The smile in his eyes made him a little confused.

Looking at Chen Hui's silly appearance, Jing Xin couldn't help but ask, "Miss, is there something wrong with this child's head?"

Liu Xu also had a trace of doubt in her heart. She carefully observed for a bit and found that Chen Hui was looking at her as if he was thinking about something. He didn't look like he had any problems, so he said, "What a strange kid."

Chen Hui did not know that Jing Xin suspected his IQ and was thinking about another problem.

"Why did this big sister bring me here? Did he want to treat me to a meal? But it's not even time for dinner. Dinner? Crap! It's almost noon, if I don't go back now, I will be discovered even if I don't get any attention. At that time, won't it be even harder for me to think of it? " Thinking of this, Chen Hui became a little anxious. He was inwardly conflicted on how he could get rid of this Liu Xu who acted on her own accord.

Then the departing waitress came back with a pot of tea in her right hand and a menu in her left, pushing the door open.

Just as the waitress was about to pour the tea, Liu Xu raised her hand to stop her and said, "Here's your best tea."

"Alright, then please take a look at what you need first." The waitress nodded, put down the menu, turned around and left.

Opening the menu, Liu Xu stood in front of Chen Hui and gently asked, "Little guy, order whatever you like. Elder sister will treat you."

Chen Hui looked at her doubtfully and thought to himself, "She wouldn't want me to order, would she?" But I don't know a word, how can I? There's no picture here either. "

After hesitating for a moment, he pointed a finger at a line of words.

Liu Xu glanced at it, then shook her head in amusement, "Little guy, you want to drink at such a young age? No, this isn't something you can drink. How about I order a jug of land dragon milk for you? "It's very fragrant and delicious."

Chen Hui raised his head and saw Liu Xu shake her head at him and even talk a lot with him. He muttered to himself, "Don't tell me that I think my order is too expensive?"

Thus, he flipped to the next page, stretched out his finger, and tapped on a line of words.

Liu Xu helplessly shook her head again and said, "Child, that's wine, you're still too young, you really can't drink, let's not drink anymore, okay?" Shall we order? "

Seeing her shake her head and say something he didn't understand, Chen Hui became even more confused, "Could it be that it's still too expensive?" You brought me here to eat if you think it's too expensive, are you messing with me? "

Inwardly, he could not help but feel a little angry. Thus, he flipped to another page and tentatively pointed to a line of words that looked like the name of a dish.

Jing Xin stretched out his neck to take a look, then said with a smile, "Miss, this kid can't be an alcoholic, right?"

Liu Xu glared at her, thinking, "You want to drink so much at such a young age?" "That won't do!"

Therefore, she looked at Chen Hui seriously and shook her head, "Child, the wine is very bitter and hard to drink, moreover, you are so small, you cannot drink this kind of thing. Why don't we have a jug of land dragon milk? The land dragon milk is very fragrant and delicious. "

Seeing Liu Xu shake his head again, Chen Hui couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, "You brought me here to eat even without money? Are you messing with me?! "

Pursing his lips, Chen Hui struggled to get down to the ground and leave this place.

Seeing this, Liu Xu hurriedly coaxed, "Alright, alright, alright, let's drink. Don't be angry, sister will let them serve you wine."

Seeing Liu Xu's flustered appearance, Jing Xin covered his mouth and chuckled, thinking, "It has always been someone else trying to please Miss, when have I ever seen you with such a good temper?" Today, the young mistress was actually so good-natured as to coax a child. This is really strange. How come Miss doesn't have any temper when facing this child? "Does she like children that much?"

Chen Hui saw Liu Xu smile at him as she nodded and said something to him. He thought to himself, "Did I misunderstand? "What does that mean?"

Thinking about this, he became quiet again, wanting to see what Liu Xu actually wanted to do.

Seeing that Chen Hui had quieted down, Liu Xu immediately let out a sigh of relief in her heart. She secretly wiped the sweat off her forehead and thought to herself, "Children are really hard to coax. Why is coaxing a child even harder than practicing a martial skill?"

At this time, the waitress came in with another pot of tea. She poured a cup for Liu Xu and instantly, the room was filled with fragrance.

When Chen Hui smelled the fragrance, he couldn't help but want to taste it. Unfortunately, his hand was too short and he couldn't reach the teacup.

"Kid, do you want some? "Wait a moment, the tea is too hot. Big sister will cool it down for you."

Chen Hui was startled for a moment, thinking that she had no intention of letting him drink from her cup, he then said to himself, "What kind of person is this, bringing me here is not allowing me to drink, then it's not allowing me to drink, could it be that you want me to come and see an eye addiction?"

However, just as he mumbled to himself, Liu Xu put the teacup next to his mouth.

Chen Hui's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what was going on. Raising his head to look at her, he brought his mouth close to her and took a sip of tea, but it seemed that the taste of the tea was a bit bitter for his child. The strong bitter taste of the tea caused Chen Hui's tongue to go numb, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue in an attempt to dispel the bitterness.

"What is it? Hot? Why are you in such a hurry? Look, it's hot to the tongue, isn't it? "

Seeing him stick out his tongue after taking a sip, Liu Xu smiled slightly and drank the rest of the tea in one gulp. Seeing her actions, Chen Hui's face immediately turned a little hot.

Jing Xin sat opposite of her and saw Chen Hui blushing. He said in surprise, "Miss, this child is blushing. Is he shy?"

"Don't talk nonsense, how can such a young child be shy? Maybe the tea is too hot. " Liu Xu rolled her eyes and said.

Glancing at the waitress at the side, Liu Xu remembered that she hadn't ordered anything yet. Without even looking at the menu, she said, "Bring up all the signature dishes here."

The waitress hesitated for a moment, then said with some hesitation, "This restaurant has 18 signature dishes, are they all served?"

"Pick up the best five and bring them up." Liu Xu said.

"Alright, I'll go and make the order for you now." The waitress said softly. Just as she picked up the menu on the table and was about to leave, Liu Xu called out to her, "Wait, give me another bottle of Luminary Milk."

"Yes!" The female attendant acknowledged and left.

Seeing the female attendant leave, Liu Xu couldn't help but nervously lower her head and look at Chen Hui. She saw that he didn't have the slightest reaction to her words and was frowning while sticking out his little tongue with an expression of discomfort.

Suddenly, Liu Xu let out a sigh of relief in her heart. Looking at his cute actions, she felt that it was a bit funny, "Little guy, do you think that tea is very bitter? "That's true. This is something that adults drink. How could a child like you get used to it?"

"Miss, didn't you promise to give him some wine?" Why did it become breast milk? " Jing Xin covered his mouth and chuckled.

Liu Xu stared at her and said, "He doesn't know anything, and you don't know anything either?" How can such a young child drink? " As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Hui. Seeing that he didn't seem to pay attention to their conversation, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"Ha …" What kind of lousy thing is this? It's so bitter … Is there nothing sweet for me to neutralize? " Chen Hui stuck out his tongue and muttered.

Liu Xu vaguely heard Chen Hui speak, but he couldn't hear it clearly. She couldn't help but to ask, "Child, what did you just say?"

Chen Hui was suddenly shocked in his heart, "This is bad!" He had accidentally spoken his mind! Did she hear me? If she had heard me speak Mandarin, wouldn't she have treated me as a monster? "

Thus, Chen Hui once again looked at Liu Xu with a puzzled expression, as if he did not know what she was saying.

Seeing this, Liu Xu asked Jing Xin doubtfully, "Did you hear that just now?"

"Miss, what did you hear?" Jing Xin asked in confusion.

Scratching her head, Liu Xu frowned and said, "Nothing."

At this moment, the fragrance of food drifted in from outside. Several female attendants came in with dishes. Under Chen Hui's curious gaze, they placed the dishes on the table one by one.

The jade plates were filled with delicacies and the fragrance filled the air. The dishes on the table were so delicious that anyone who saw it would be tempted to eat. After placing the dishes on the table, the waitress put on a pot of thick Earth Dragon milk and a crystal cup before closing the door.

Looking at the thick ground dragon milk inside the crystal jade pot in front of him, Chen Hui looked at Liu Xu with some doubt. "This is …" Milk? But is milk so thick? "

Seeing Chen Hui looking at her, Liu Xu thought he recognized that it wasn't wine, so she hurriedly explained, "Child, don't look at this pot of wine that looks like milk, but it really is wine, look."

He poured himself a glass of wine and said. "Hm ~ Good wine, it's very delicious."

"Heh …" Seeing this, Jing Xin couldn't help but chuckle. Liu Xu glared at her, poured a cup for Chen Hui and said, "Drink it."

Looking at Liu Xu's expectant expression, even though he no longer wanted to drink this thing that clearly belonged to a child, Chen Hui still hesitantly drank this cup of Earth Dragon's milk.

There was a faint fishy smell in his mouth, but it was also sweet and tasty. It instantly diluted the bitter taste in his mouth.

Faintly, there was a warm feeling flowing through his body. This wondrous taste and feeling immediately made him fall in love with it.

He reached out to grab the crystal jug of land dragon milk for another cup for himself.

Seeing that Chen Hui liked it, he extended his hand to take it.

Liu Xu secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart, at the same time, she pressed her hand on his hand, reached out and poured another cup for him, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and gave him a piece of grilled golden grilled beast meat, dipped in sauce, and placed it next to his mouth.

After drinking a mouthful of milk, Chen Hui looked at the roasted beast meat in front of him and hesitated for a moment before eating it. The taste, the chewing force, as well as the fragrance of the milk from his mouth instantly caused Chen Hui to squint his eyes in enjoyment.
